Bevan Bonthron, president of the Hensall Kinsman Club, 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.

He went to 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. Jonathan Baker. 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 Public School. Janice Allan best to call on one side of the street and then the other. Criss- crossing the street is dangerous.' Cross only at intersections or crosswalks. Children should not go inside houses or apart- ments. Treats should be taken 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. How long can high rates last The present high, high interest on long term savings — how long can it last?
