More than 100 hear information on Block Parents program About 100 people attended a Block Parents Week information meeting at Blyth Public School on Oct. 22. Constable Garry Gaeler, Com- munity Service Co-ordinator for the Ontario Provincial Police an- swered many questions about the Block Parent program for the adults and children present. One of the questions asked was if there could be too many block parents on a street. One street in Blyth has most of the houses sporting Block Parent signs. Const. Gaeler said the more houses on a street involved in block parenting the better. No one is likely to try to interfere with Legion plans Remembrance Day The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 420 wishes to remind everyone that the Remembrance Day Services will be held at Blyth Memorial Hall on Monday, Nov- ember 11 at 10:45 - members of Legion and Ladies Auxiliary should assemble at Legion Hall at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, November 10 is the church parade starting at the Legion Hall with all Legion and Ladies Auxiliary members asked to be at the hall by 9:30 a.m. The service is at 10 a.m. at the Christian Reformed Church, Blyth.

There is no charge for this event. Prizes will be awarded and lunch served. If transportation is required, please call Ray 523-4578 by noon. youngsters on a street that is full of Block Parents. He stressed the importance of reporting to police if a suspicious- looking car is seen frequenting the area or if a child comes to the door and reports an incident even if the child can't come up with an identification. If there is no call to police the incident is unreported. If the police are told they can get an indication that something might be happening and be on the lookout to prevent future trouble. Const. Gaeler said that even if both parents are working they can still be block paretns and put their signs up for the evening hours. He asked about leaving signs up all night long and said it was better not to leave a sign stationary for long periods of time. A film from the Ontario Safety Association called "What's a Block Parent?" and aimed at children from the kindergarten to grade four level led off the evening. To end things on a happy note for youngsters, "Cookie Monster" handed out suckers.

It was just the people attending the Lions Club's Hallowe'en dance dressed in costumes. Costume winners were: best couple, Ron and Barb Oesch as Vikings, Rick and Ann Elliott as Beatniks and Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Schultz as Watson and Sherlock Holmes. Best comic costumes were worn by Don and Lenore Scrimgeour as a cop and robber, Tracie and Leslie (last names withheld to protect the innocent) as flashers and John Elliott as a scarecrow. The most original costumes were worn by Dave and Fran Cook dressed as showers; Marie Lobb, Leonard Lobb and Darlene Gerber as Friar Tuck, Robin Hood and Maid Marion and Alan and Barb Bragg as jail birds. LOST HEIR Wednesday nights are a time of a pleasant social evening at Memorial Hall when local residents gather to play Lost Heir. Last week eight tables were in play. High lady was Dorothy Daer; high man, Bert Daer; low lady, Evelyn Smith; low man, Ray Madill. There's a game every Wednesday night so if you've got some time you might want to drop in to play and visit. DEADLINES With the publication of a newspaper on Wednesday morning, it makes for real pleasure to get everything done in time. We know it's only natural to think of this week's paper no earlier than Monday morning but getting a whole load of news and advertisements on Monday means there's a large risk something will get left out or done wrong. If you've got a meeting this week and you could get the report to us by Friday this week we'd have a much better chance to get it in. If you can get advertisements in by Friday we can do a better job on them. If you've got a wedding write-up we can't guarantee it will get in the paper unless we do receive it before the weekend. Your help will help us get out a better newspaper and on time. NEEDED: ONE SPORTS COLUMNIST We've got the sports columnist we were looking for in the Brussels area (and a darned good one too) but we're still looking for one in the Blyth area. While we expect representatives of each team to drop in stories about their games we'd like to find someone to write a weekly column of a chatty type about upcoming tournaments or players who have done especially well or meetings of the minor sports committee. There's a small honorarium for the work. If you're interested give us a call at 523-4792. Chauncey' s hairstyling presents More Mousse Mania!!!
