The members were also urged to support the sale of the car club tickets by selling _as many as possible, For the past two years the proceeds from the car ticket sales have been used to purchase picnic tables at the Ailsa Craig Ball Park. The Induction of Phil Cant as a new member into the Lions Club was held at the meeting. Past president, Les Morley, was presented with an award for 100 percent efficiency during his Creditors UM meets at Zion United Church By PAUL SALMON The Mt. Carmel area's latest group of travellers determined to flee from the horrors of winter have since returned from the sunny South, The group included Mr. & Mrs. Bill McCann, their son Dan, Mr. McCann's sister Jean and her husband Ted Love, and Mr. McCann's nephew Pat. Mrs. McCann reports that the temperature during the first week of their two week vacation was quite cool, but during the second week, the group enjoyed the seventy-degree weather which has given Florida its reputation as a "winter-retreat". The group enjoyed a trip to Key West, Florida's most southerly point, and spent three days there. They also spent some time at Pompano beach, a resort area which is near world famous Ft. Lauderdale. The use of a Winnebago enabled the group to reach their destination much quicker, since the driving to Florida could be done in continual shifts. After picking up the Love's, who live in Detroit, the group drove twenty straight hours, getting well into Florida. during that time. Apparently, anyone wishing to travel to the sunshine state better make sure that their pocket-book is just a little thicker. Prices, as one might expect, have risen greatly. Unfortunately, it seems that you get less instead of more for your money. Mrs. McCann got the impression that plenty of skimping was being done by "'restaurant owners and other people who depend on tourists for their livelihood. Travellers of a more local sort include Mr. & Mrs. Wilfrid Hogan of Mt. Carmel, the Hogan's daughter Margaret and her husband Bill Inson, and the Inson's daughter Jodi. This group braved the terrible weather that plagued us last weekend and travelled to Windsor. The group went to Windsor last Saturday afternoon, visited Mr. Hugh Sheldon who will be at: Les Pines Hotel EXETER on Tuesday, Feb. 17 By JOY SCHEIFELE AIL$A CRAIG Tuesday evening, February 3rd, a group of interested com- munity citizens met to hold a round table discussion on Ailsa Craig's Youth Centre. The centre, presently housed in the hall over Bender's Meat Market, will shortly have to find new accommodation as the premises will no longer be available on Friday evenings, The group met together in an attempt advise the community of the situation and to generate more support and planning from the community. . Attending the meeting were Scott Hortop and Bob Berkman of the Ausable Springs Incorp, who have been working with the Youth Centre the last few years, Reeve Jack Whitmore, Dave Brunner, Pastor of Nairn Men- nonite Church, John Bender, and Marilyn McCallum and Gordon Lewis of the Presbyterian Church. A further meeting is being planned for Wednesday, February 25th at 8:00 p.m. at the Youth Centre to which any in- terested citizens are invited, It is hoped to draw more community support and interest in the Youth Centre. Thus the community is invited to share suggestions and insights with the group, and to become more aware of the program. At present an average of fifteen attend the Youth Centre each Friday from ages 8 to 14; and an average of eight over 14 years. However, as the daylight hours lengthen, the numbers!: have in the past increased giving support to the assumption that there will be an increase in attendance in the coming months. Brother and sister win For those able to attend the senior division of the public speaking contest held at East Williams Memorial. Public School last Wednesday it proved a great evening as one listened to the young orators. Eighteen grade six, seven and eight students took part in the competition and dealt with a wide range of subjects from alcoholism and Ca nada,and World War I through to Jumbo, the Elephant. First place winner,' Stuart Smith spoke on the metric system, Speaking with poise and excellent control, Stuart outlined the many advantages of the metric system. At one point he dramatized a possible humourous misunderstanding we may have with our American cousins still using fahrenheit temperatures as opposed to celsius grades. His sister, Wilma, delighted the audience with the topic, "Laughter" as she skillfully interjected various types of humour into her speech, This was the second consecutive year Wilma placed second, and ironically each year pulled the number thirteen when drawing numbers for the order in which the contestants would speak. Janice DeVlugt gave an animated and informative ad- dress on Extinction reminding her listeners of the serious plight many birds and animals are currently facing. While a number of the students who spoke first faced the dif- ficulty of having to speak above the hot air system blowing just then, all showed a great deal of courage. For the first speaker on the platform this was especially true when nervousness caused tears but the young speaker proved herself in a more remarkable way and valiantly carried on. Other competitors included John Aszalos, Mike Bates, Don and Frank Brubacher, Christine Cudney, Grant Chamberlain, Wanda .Currie, Charlene Kydd, 11 11 11 11 1 1 11 M Bonnie McLachlan, Terri 1VIcLeish, Cheri Otterbein, Anne Rowley, and Karl Stewart, Judges included Ailsa Craig's bank manager, Phil Cant, Arnold Hall of Parkview Public School and Eileen Campbell, English consultant with Middlesex Board of Education, Each student participating received a small financial award, and the winners will go on to compete in the Optimist's competition to be held some time late in March in Parkhill, Covenant/players to_return The Conversant Players plan to return to Ailsa Craig on Satur- day, February 14th, An all day Drama Workshop for anyone interested in drama is being planned under the guidance of the Convenant Players, to be held in the Ailsa Craig United Church.
