Broken windows and a wild scene of vandalism greeted custodian Vi Pickering, when she opened the school early Monday morning. Wax had been poured over floors and then coated with fire extinguisher discharge, locks, jimmied, windows smashed and classroom displays ruined. “We estimate that ap­ proximately $1,000 worth of damage has been done”, reported Principal Glen Stott. In addition to the van­ dalism, a small amount of money, a stop watch, starting pistol and school keys were taken from the office where considerable damage occurred. The gymnasium was also badly messed up. The break in occurred sometime after 9 p.m. Sunday custodian’s check building. “The students shocked to find representing East Williams township and the location Of present township families completely destroyed”, said Mr. Stott. “They had been working on the map over the past three weeks. A chart showing the accumulated distance of school runners who jog during the noon hour was totally damaged as well”. Three area juveniles have been charged with break and enter.

WIN SPEAKING By JOY SCHEIFELE Christine Cudney and Kevin Stewart, grade eight students at East Williams Memorial Public School took first place honours in the Optimists public speaking contest held at Sacred Heart School in Parkhill. Speaking on “Today’s Family in Society" Christine took top honours in the girls’ division while Kevin cap­ tured first place in the boys’ division with a speech on “Use of Time". By JOY SCHEIFELE A week ago Tuesday evening three represen­ tatives of the Ailsa Craig and District Lions Club took a little 13 year-old girl by surprise, and brought her and her family a great deal of joy as they presented her with a special electric typewriter. Lisa, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Cameron Edwards of RR 2 Ailsa Craig was born with celebral palsy which has left her with very poor motor control. “For many years I doubted that she would ever be able to care for herself in any way,” explained Mrs. Edwards, “But now she is able to completely dress herself, and in the most part, be responsible for her daily routine. She has made great strides in the last few years". In addition to being a victim of celebral palsy, Lisa also suffers deafness and for the past four years has been attending the Robarts School for the Deaf in London. Here she is learning to type as she does not have the control needed to write legibly. When the members of the Ailsa Craig Lions learned of her plight, arrangements were quickly made to buy an electric typewriter for her which will enable her to become more independent and progress more quickly. The typewriter is equipped with a plate on the keyboard to facilitate her poor co­ ordination. The Edwards have five children in all; two boys and three girls. Lisa’s older sister as well as one brother are also deaf. “They are very close as a result of their lack of hearing”, shared Mrs. Edwards. “In fact, it is often the two with their hearing who feel left out of things.”325 CARADOC ST.
