But, they were the wrong tables. They picked them up the same day. Then they phoned to say they couldn't get the tables I wanted. I told them that those were the only tables I wanted. They told me to come down to pick up my $10. I go there and I don't get that $10. I get excuses like people being out and the cheque in the mail. But no $10. Finally, they shuffled me off to their head office. The ac- tion there isn't any faster. It is now three months since I gave that $10 deposit and I am no closer to getting it back than I was the day I paid it. We talked to them and they said in very emphatic terms that they had sent you a cheque for $10. Apparently, they spell "had" in very peculiar fashion in that store. For they sent you a cheque eight days after they assured us they "had" paid you. Exeter Flowers & Gifts .,,L ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS Tin\ BUY OR LEASE Ben J. L.

Somewhere recently I read where matches can also cause cancer, but unfortunately I can't remember where I read it and I wondered if your office has anyway of verify- ing this fact, because my friends all think I am crazy! Crazy you are not, Sir. We have no way of knowing where you read what you did, but some enquiries brought us the following information: Not only cigarettes, but the manner in which they are lighted, may be the source of cancer, a University of Missouri physician says, Dr. Carl J. Marienfeld, director of the university's environmen- tal health surveillance center, says that he has identified several suspected cancer-causing agents which emanate from book- type, wax-impregnated matches, and wick-type lighters when ig- nited.

We are now trying to get all of our members involved in the planning of our activities. To do this we have devised committees, which are organized by members of our group. This helps take part of the workload from the executive and gives the members a chance to see what is involved when you organize and run an organization like YACMR. There has to be someone to look after YACMR next year and hopefully this will help to prepare an executive for next year. For the month of January we are planmning an activity for ARC Industries and one for Huron Hope. On January 28, 1976, at 1-4 o'clock p.m. we are holding a Winter Carnival at Morrison dam for the students of Huron Hope. We plan to have an afternoon of tobogganing andl playing in the snow. After we are tited out and cold,a snack will be served to us. Hot chocolate and donuts sound great! YACMR is providing the transportation and is looking after the toboggans, and the snack. We are planning this on that particular day because it is a school holiday, On January 31, 1976, we are planning a Winter Carnival for the trainees of ARC Industries. This will be held at the home of Barb Dietrich. It will begin at 1 o'clock p.m. and end at 8 o'clock By MRS. E.

Mary MeInally took her sermon from Genesis and Matt. Her subject was Fear, and the text "When we are afraid". This was the third in the series (My Grace is Sufficient). p.m. We have asked the parents to provide the transportation to Barb's house. The regular bus that brings the trainies to work will take them home, YACMR is serving a meal and providing some entertainment to pass the evening. There is a piano so we are hoping that some of the trainees will be willing to give us a tune. We are certainly looking for- ward to these two afternoons with our friends. We will be able to tell you how our Carnivals went in a couple weeks.

By MARY WARBURTON Do you often find yourself sitting at home on a Thursday night with nothing to do? Well, why not come out and join the badminton club! Every Thursday evening, from 7:30 to 10:00, students stream into the new gym of SHDHS to play their favourite sport — bad- minton. There has been a great interest in this particular sport as revealed from the membership of close to 50 people. A small fee of $5.00 is required to join the club and with this fee not only are you provided with your own new birdie, but you become a member of the Ontario Badminton Association which entitles you to play in tour- naments all over Ontario for the year of '75-'76. Badminton raquets may be borrowed from the school for the evening with no extra charge. For those nights when there are quite a few people, doubles games are played to ensure a maximum number of people on the courts. Singles games may be played when there aren't as many people. The decision with whom you will play and how often is left up to you; however, in the future there may be some tournaments organized by Miss Rowe. Badminton is 'a terrific carry over sport for it is not limited to the younger generation but may be considered a good recreational sport for all ages — even up to 80 years if you like. It may be played with as much vitality as you can stir up and is a good sport for exercising both the body and mind. It is a sport which requires maximum skill rather than brute strength and thus presents a challenge as to whether you can outwit your opponent by skillfully placing your shots. It is more of an individual sport which rates you rather than your team against others. In any case, it is a sport which you may enjoy no matter what the extent of your skill is, so why not come out and have a good time? Book missing Dear Editor: During the past few weeks, there has been considerable cause for concern over the loss of a book. It may sound odd, as to why a book could cause so much hassle, so I'll give you the reason. This specific book was borrowed from the library at the University of Western Ontario, to be used by Grade 13 Geography students for a research paper. Now the book has disappeared. We all know how many books our own library has lost through students' carelessness. But, this book is special, not only because it did not belong to our school, but because it is no longer being printed. It is going to cost the school a considerably high amount of money to repay the University for it. If anyone knows where this book is, please return it to the Geography department. I'm sure they would appreciate it very much! Thank you!

The research project is being conducted by two University of Waterloo professors, Drs. R.R. Hudgins and P.L. Silverston. They are being assisted by W.D. Costigane, a chemical technology instructor from Sheridan College and Dr. H. Tiessen, a hor- ticultural science professor at the University of Guelph. With the costs of fuel in- creasing rapidly, it has become essential for greenhouse operators to find ways of reducing fuel consumption while keeping greenhouse tem- peratures at levels for satifactory plant growth and production. It is estimated that fuel savings of up to 25 percent can be ac- complished if the humidity is cut in half. The researchers will examine several possibilities: one in- cludes dehumidifying the air in greenhouses; another is to study the condensation effects of double glazing and a third is to examine the possibility of fuel savings by directing a stream of cold dry air along the inside surfaces of greenhouse glass or plastic. An additional aspect of the project will be to treat glass in greenhouses so that water that collects on inside surfaces will form in a film, instead of millions of tiny droplets, which resear- chers say' allow heat to escape more quickly. The objective of Ontario's Energy Management Program is to moderate, by one-third, the province's increasing rate of growth in eneVgy consumption. By 1980, PMP officials are looking for $1 billion reduction per year in total energy ex- penditures across all sectors of Ontario's economy. Current forecasts indicate that energy spending in Ontario will be greater than $5 billion this year and could double within five years. Editorial During the last couple of months teachers strikes have been going on throughout Ontario, particularly Toronto and Kent Coun- ty near Chatham. Students in these areas have been absent from regular school classes for the same amount of time. This long absence from school might seem to students from South Huron a terrific way of getting out of school, but the teachers'cry for more pay in hindering these students. In particular the grade twelve and thirteen students suffer from this strike. These students need all their school year to receive their diploma, Toronto teachers have promised to cut down these students' courses to the bare minimum so that the students will be able to get their diplomas. But interfering with these students lives by prolonging regular classes could do quite a bit of damage. So, all in all, we are quite fortunate at South Huron to have regular class and teachers teaching those classes. The students at South Huron will be able to get their diplomas without any added problems. + + When students reach high school they should be responsible enough to be able to throw away their garbage after eating their lunch. It doesn't take too much effort to walk to the garbage can and drop your wrappings in. It is extremely unfortunate that a teacher must give up his lunch period to supervise students who should be mature enough to do it on their own.
