The school yard at East
Williams Public School was
nearly empty last Friday as
the majority of the children
made for the nearby Nairn
Park to take part in the kite
flying contest over the noon
hour.
The contest, sponsored by
the school, brought out kites
of every design and colour.
Students from the early
grades up to grade eight
took the challenge eagerly
while the weather provided
bright skies and high winds.
John Aszalos nearly took
the prize when he managed
to all but remove his kite
from sight some 1700 ft. up,
when the cord snapped and
the kite made its break for
freedom.
Fletcher
declared the official winner,
with brothers Dean and
Todd Bender taking second
and third place. Jonathan
Arnel was the winner of the
best home made kite.
BROTHERS WIN — Dean (left) and Todd Bender (right)
proved their skills at kite flying as they managed to talce se-
e°n places respectively in the annual contest at
East Williams Public School, Friday. With them is Jimmy
Walsh.

Hopefully spring is around
the corner and summer will
Soon arrive. With it will
come many new and in
teresting functions to en
tertain the wandering
minds of our Youth. As an
example, plans are being
made to inform all the youth
in our communities about
what they can expect to be
able to participate in the
near future. At the schools
there are people visiting to
enlighten the kids on soccer,
baseball, track and field and
physical fitness programs.
In Huron Park on a
Saturday yet to be decided
(because of the time needed
to ensure the availability of
equipment) there will be
movies, program agendas,
interest finders and per
sonnel guidance counselors
to assist us and you.
Friend of Youth is our
Motto. This we, in the up
coming months and years
are going to prove. Everyone
in the surrounding com
munities will benefit.
A proposal was accepted
at our last meeting to begin
work on a soccer field and
ball diamond behind the
Cgntralia Community
Centre. This is just one of the
many projects in mind.
The Optimist bingos,
which are going into their
third week, have been
having a good response.
Watch for the weekly ad in
this paper. Come out and
have a fun night with the
money you make at the
quickie bingos which are
held prior to the regulars. Be
early. Get a good seat and
avoid the pushing and
shoving of other functions.
On April 29 at the Huron
Rec. Centre at 6 p.m. the
Optimist Club of Stephen will
be holding their Charter
Banquet and Dance. This is a
one and only. Represen
tatives from all over Ontario
will be attending to show
their support and interest in
our club. If you are free and
wish to find out just what our
organization is all about, this
is a good time to meet the
members, their wives,
girlfriends, associates and
friends. The best way to find
out about this function is to
ask the members or watch
for our ads right here in the
T-A beginning next week.
Our next meeting for those
who are interested in joining
is to be held at Bob and Shirls
Restaurant at 9 a.m. on April
23. Notify Jim Gage Huron
Park or Bob Lammie in
advance if you wish to
participate.
For all the youth in the
area there is a skateathon
for the March of Dimes being
held this Saturday at the
Huron Park Arena at 10
o’clock a.m. For your
sponsor sheets, call Tony
Jones 228-6366. Let’s help
this worthy cause. After your
laps are completed there will
be free skating until 1 p.m.
The Park minor hockey
banquet is on at 2 p.m. this
Saturday followed by a
dance at 9 p.m. If you
haven’t got your tickets as
yet there are still some
available from Bill McGrath
or at the door there may be a
few. Help the players for
next year.

TIGER
TIMES
By JOY SCHEIFELE
Gerry Layne, Industrial
Commissioner for Tillson
burg met with the Ailsa
Craig Business Association
at the Senior Citizens Activi
ty Centre in Ailsa Craig,
Wednesday.
Mr. Layne first described
economic development in
general and then showed
slides of the economic
development of Tillsonburg,
which is currently one of the
fastest growing areas in
terms of industrial
commercial expansion in
Canada. The town is widely
known for its abundant
recreational and educational
facilities.
Only one at
ratepayer event
By JOY SCHEIFELE
One lone resident was in
attendance at a public
meeting of ratepayers of
Ailsa Craig last Tuesday.
The Planning Board of the
Village of Ailsa Craig con
sidered a draft amendment
to change land designated
“Rural area” to “residen
tial” north of the Canadian
National Railway Line, west
of Queen Street and east of
the Ausable River. The land
is presently occupied by a
house and apple orchard,
and owned by the late Mrs.
J. Cree.
The change is to allow for
four single-family lots to be
created on the sight. One of
these lots would be for the
existing house on the proper
ty in question.
No objections were raised
to the amendment.
“One of the keys to
growth”, he stressed “is
available land. Sites must be
set aside to allow for careful
expansion”.
He advised a town to sell
itself and make itself known
and thus attract people to it.
He suggested a town allow
itself pride in its
achievements and generate
enthusiasm for itself so
others will want to be a part
of it.
In order to grow a town
must have very precise
guide lines for industry to
establish itself in terms of
types of construction,
products produced and
pollution control, he warned.
He emphasized that one of
the best salesmen for a com
munity is the business per
son already established in
the town, and thus stressed
the importance of having a
happy business community.
He encouraged rural com
munities to get involved
with the surrounding
townships. He emphasized
that the more important ad
ditional taxes that an in
dustry creates is the
tremendous spinoff in terms
of service development and
high wages that industries
bring.
Mr. Layne also is consul
tant to Ontario Ministry of
Industry and Tourism and
Member of Fanshawe
College Advisory Com
mittee, and Manager of
Regional Airport at Tillson
burg.
Members of the Ailsa
Craig Village Council, the
Planning Board and other in
terested persons were in
vited to the meeting. A live
ly discussion followed Mr.
Layne’s address.
History Fair —• On Monday.
March 13 judges were busy
picking winners for the
school fair. Mr. Lawrence,
history teacher, was pleased
with the projects.
The prize winners were
senior: 1st Brian Johnson
doing a covered bridge
(West Montrose). Sarah
McClure did the toboggan
ride in Crediton. placing
2nd, 3rd prize was Ross
Finkbeiner, doing the old
Exeter Arena.
In the Junior division 1st
was Doug Woodburn doing
Stephen School. 2nd was
Marsha Clarke doing the
Eldon House. All in
termediate students who
completed a project will
participate in a trip to Ste.
Marie. (Sarah McClure)
Volleyball Teams — Our
school has just picked our
volleyball teams. They have
been practicing every day
since we came back from
the March break. The tour
nament is on April 14. The
boys go to Exeter Public
School and the girls to
McCurdy.
Operetta — Our school
has been very busy lately
with our operetta. Going
West. There is a junior and
senior cast, so we are
fighting for equal practise
time. The songs and lines
are just about right but
there is still scenery, lights
and some of the costumes to
do. I hope you can make it to
one of the performances. We
will inform you later of the
exact dates.
Why I like Stephen Central
School — I think Stephen
Central is the best school in
every county around. I
wouldn’t mind a few
changes but this doesn’t
change my feelings.
I like this school because
it has nice teachers that will
help anytime you need it.
Electives are another thing I
like because you have a wide
choice of things you would
like to try. The subjects
taught here are explained
very well by the teacher in
charge. Everyone is treated
alike. Nobody can complain
about the activities at this
school. We have many ac
tivities which are hits with
pupils. If somebody says
anything against this school
they sure don’t know what
their talking about. What
are your feelings about this
school. (DougWoodburn)
On March 10 I took a poll
in Stephen Central School. In
the March break 235
students stayed in Ontario
for their holidays, 17 puoils
went to another country and
two travelled out of Ontario
into another province. Sarah

Make sure your child is immunized
against disease.
This is what
Ontario is doing
to help you.
Over 25% of our children have
not been immunized by the time they
enter school. That’s not only
surprising, it’s dangerous — because
there has been an increase of
diphtheria, whooping cough and
measles in recent months.
The Ontario Ministry of Health
provides vaccines to immunize
children against diphtheria, polio,
whooping cough, tetanus, measles,
mumps and rubella (German measles).
Your Ontario Health Insurance
Plan (OHIP) pays a fee to the
doctor for administering them.
Immunization can save lives and
is quick and easy.
It’s up to you — to make sure that
your children are protected. Take them
to your family physician now, or have
them immunized by your local
health unit.
A free pamphlet with a chart
showing which diseases your child
should be immunized against, and at
what ages, is available now.
Write today for your copy of the
pamphlet “Immunization is Your
Responsibility” to:
