UNIT I MEETING
Doreen Spencer presided for
the October meeting of Unit 1,
Hensall U,C.W. She read the
scripture after which she read a
poem "We thank thee",
followed by prayer. Doreen
used for her devotional theme
"The art of happiness", giving
everyone true definitions of
happiness. Happiness requires
skill, learning, loving and
working. We all search for hap-
piness in one way or another,
but happiness is first learning
to live with yourself and second
learning to live with others.
Happiness is determined by the
kind of a person each in-
dividual is. All lives are con-
trolled by three factors,
heredity, over which no person
has control, environment in
which much exists that cannot
be controlled, and an in-
dividuals response to every day
living of his ability to face life
and its problems and find hap-
piness which is his respon-

right thinking. The highest
form of creative thinking is
prayer, Happiness comes from
a sympathetic, compassionate
and understanding heart. True
happiness can be found only in
the service of God,

powerful forces in history, and

Bevan Bonthron, president

Once upon a time there was
a Grepple. What is a Grep-
ple? A Grepple is whatever
you think it is. This Grepple
was walking along the road
when it met a Thing. The
Thing had X-ray eyes, and the
Grepple looked like a pane of
glass to it. So the Grepple was
a pane of glass. A nearsighted
old lady came along and
bumped into the glass. It
broke into a thousand shiny
pieces. The old lady thought
they were diamonds and
gathered them up in a bag.
When she got home, her little
grandson thought there was
candy in the bag, So the
Grepple turned into candy.
The Thing peeped in the
window. He said, "I'll bet
there is a nice, juicy black
bug in the bag, I like to eat
bugs," And just as the
Grepple turned into a hug, the
Thing reached in and snat-
ched the hag. Soon the Thing
met a boy on the road. "What

Mr. D. Degregorio is our new

Hamilton Teacher's College in
The Druids had a celebration
around the beginning of
November known as the Vigil
of Samhain, god of the dead. It
was believed that Samhain
summoned, from the bodies of
animals, the spirits of those
who had died within the last
year. The black cat, deemed
sacred by the Druids, was
believed to have once been
human, altered as punishment
for its evil deeds. It was a time
when the traditional witch rode
the skies on her broomstick, for
it was widely believed that
many women sold their souls to
the devil.
Great fires were lit to ward
off evil demons. People danced
and sang. Many, wearing
grotesque masks, leaped over
and through the flames with
wild gyrations, seemingly
possessed by disembodied
spirits.
Most of the Druid demons
have long since vanished and
we can rest assured that the
ghosts and witches we encoun-
ter this Halloween will be com-
pletely harmless.
But there may still be one
ominous spirit left lurking - the
Accident Denom, There is no
magic potion to ward off his
menace. But with a little time
to review basic safety rules and
a bit of common sense, a
definite immunity can be
mustered to combat his spell.
So remember:
Light coloured costumes,
trimmed with reflector tape are
easily seen by motorists. For
maximum safety, carry a
flashlight as well. Masks can
slip and obstruct vision. Design
and paint your own face. A cold
cream base ensures easy
removal. Costumes should be
short enough not to trip
children and preferably be
flame resistant. Very young
children should be accom-
panied by an adult. Older
children should Trick or Treat
in groups, sticking to a familiar
neighbourhood. It's wise to
have an agreement between
parents and children on boun-
daries and time to be home. It's
Hamilton and spent one year at
McMaster University.
Mr, D. Degregorio now lives
on Ontario Street in Clinton.
Mr. D, Degregorio's hobbies are
music and drama, He can speak
Italian and French. This is his
first year of teaching.

CHEERLEADERS
"Oh we're the kids from Clin-
ton,
And no one could be prouder
And if you can not hear us
We'll yell a little louder,"
Something like this may be
heard when Clinton Public
School is competing in a game
of soccer, volleyball or any
other sport against another
school.
The following people were
chosen as cheerleaders from
grade 6, 7, and 8: Janice Allan,
Brenda Butler, Jill Clynick,
Debbie Cook, Janet Eastman,
Mary Holmes, Terri Garrow,
'Peggy Jones, Louann
Nicholson and Carolyn Wood.
So if you hear cheerleaders,
remember they're not just out
there making a lot of noise,
they're supporting Clinton

Cross only at intersections or
crosswalks. Children should
not go inside houses or apart-

home BEFORE EATING
ANY. There is still the odd
case of razer blades etc. being
found in treats. Don't take a
chance. Drivers should be
especially alert in case one
small ghost forgets to be
careful.
