The boat, which he and Trudy Cowan constructed themselves, was being moved to Goderich harbor to launch and from there Greg planned to proceed north to Thunder Bay. The Cowans built the boat with the hope of someday sailing around the world. Mr. Cowan called the Post Tuesday to say "the boat floats!"

Children and adults, about fifty in all, had been attending a six-week series of classes in preparation for Christian Initiation on October 21. The children received their first com- munion at the morning ser- vice, and in the evening Bishop Parke-Taylor, Sufferagan of Huron Diocese, confirmed ten adult members, while thirteen members reaffirmed their confirmation vows. This was also a communion service. Bishop Parke-Taylor spoke to us about "Discipleship". The Sunday School children received their at- tendance pins, a bar for the year, on October 28 of the 45 children who attend, well over half qualified for awards, The children and parents also enjoyed a Halloween party on Friday, October 26. People came dressed as Biblical characters to remind us that Hallowe'en really means "Holy Covering" The children made "Happy Face" flowers and later went to the Nursing Home and the Senior Citizens to give them to the residents, who much appreciated them. The Youth Club held its first meeting on the evening of October 25. The pre- schoolers continue to enjoy the Playschool three mornings a week, with an average attendance of 14. They have a program of free play, story time, a snack, outdoor play if the weather is good, singing exercises and crafts, which at present centre on a Hallowe'en theme. Several of the adult members plan to attend the Anglican Cursillo in London in November and December "Cursillo" is a spanish word meaning a short course in Christianity. Behind the scenes by Keith Roulston (Continued from Page 2) trial has been in favour of the idea that Steven Truscott was innocent, it has also been that the town itself was somehow guilty of something. The various books have cast doubt on the local medical authorities, the jurors, local police officials, everyone in any way connected with the case. Books such as the new Trent book seem to hint that there is a conspiracy, that there is even fear in the community, that people know who really did the murder but want to pin in on the boy. The irony of it all is that 99 per cent of the population had probably never even heard of either Steven Truscott or Lynne Harper before the murder. They lived in that other world at the air base south of town, a separate town with its own struggling through the governmental red tape re- quired to have the School BY REV. DAN SARGENT The Brussels Nursery-Play School has been operating for a month now, and we are pleased with its professional and responsible approach to pre-school training. As you may already know, the Play School was designed to provide two basic services. Our primary purpose is to provide valuable pre-school training for the children, and the secondary purpose is to provide opportunity for mothers to have a break from the daily demands of a pre-school child. The initial response to the School has been encouraging but we are now looking for an increased use of the service by the community in order to keep it viable. I can understand a lack of interest and use of the service if its only purpose was to provide a cheap baby-sitting service. This would account for the limited attendance at the moment. What does concern me however, is that perhaps some parents have not understood the very real importance pre-school train- ing has for their child's future development. I cannot overstress that this is the primary purpose for the foundation of the Play School in Brussels. Every parent, I'm sure, tries to provide their children with good pre school training in such bask learning skills as: counting, shape and colour identification, speech ete. But for various reasons such as limited time, and energy, we as parents fail to adequately equip our child- ren for the demands placed on them by the public school system. Consequently, many children find themselves be- hind other children even at the kindergarten level, and many are never able to catch up. The deficiencies of their pre-school training tend to follow them throughout their formal education. We at the Brussels Nurs- ery Play School, are attempt- ing to provide the children with the best pre-school education we can. Then consider the social develop- ment skills we are trying to provide them with as well. Learning to deal with other people, to co-operate, and communicate, and to learn the basic social skills we all need in order to cope in our complex society. Both the educational, and social development of the child is the principle object- ive of the Nursery School program. I sincerely hope every parent will consider very carefully this plea. I can say with confielen:e that any child enrolled in the program will benefit from it. We do realize that getting the little ones to and from the School can sometimes make it seem more bother than it's worth. But I think you will find the results well worth the effort. I also want to thank the Brussels Lions Club for their financial support in getting the supplies and equipment We needed to begin oper- ation. At the moment we are Mr. and Mrs., Mack Webster, 'Mary Ellen, and Mark of Varna were Sunday supper guests with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Huethers, Steven and John. licenced. Please pray that we are not forced to close for some bureaucratic reason. housing, recreational facilities and even its own school. The murder didn't take place in the town either but in the country between the base and the town. The provincial police were involved in the investigation not the local police. The town of Clinton was hardly involved at all and yet it has carried the stigma for the last 20 years. The supreme irony for the last decade has been that the Truscotts, the Harpers and all the other air force personnel are now gone. The old air base is now turned to other uses. The people most involved in the case are no longer there. But it's the people of Clinton who still suffer. Pardon them if they want to forget Steven Truscott.
