Second Term Electives
It is good to be back to
Electives again. This term Mrs.
Stoll, a parent of this area, is
giving us the chance to study
ceramics, helped by Mr. Cober.
Also, Miss Amos is teaching a
Cooking Elective instead of her
usual Sports, as she'sees a need
for a supplementary Home
Economics type coursse for Gr. 7
and 8 students. Mrs. Smith has
formed a drama group in the
Junior Elective. All the other
teachers are keeping the same
Elective they had in. Term 1. I
believe this term's elective
program will be very successful.

White Elephant Sale
The White Elephant Sale was
held on Tuesday, December 10, at
Howick Central School. The vast
;election of goods that was on
,ale was sold in about 10 minutes.
We made about $42.56. All this
money will go toward Room 15's
rip to Ottawa. Since . this was
-tch a good turnout we are
planning to have another White
Elephant Sale on Wednesday.

early!

Teacher Treats
This year the teachers that
wish to treat their students at
Christmas time may, but it is, not
a law or rule. The money to pay
for these treats comes out of the
teachers' pockets so if you receive
a treat on Dec. 20 don't forget to
say "Thank You".
Gary Douglas
Library Is Open
The Howick Central School
has made available the library to
the parents on Wednesday
evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. It
seems to be a worthwhile activity.
However, the mothers, fathers,
and people don't seem to turn up.
Why? Work too hard? Watch too
much T.V.? Or do they not read
the Gazette? Come on, read the
Gazette, conic and enjoy the
library, read the exciting mystery
stories, the novels, or poetry if
you enjoy it.
Miss McKinnon, is hoping for a
better turn out in the future!
Come on and enjoy the books.

Mrs. Smith Returns
After many years of school
teaching Mrs. Smith decided to
quit last June. But at the
beginning of the second term
Room 18 lost Mr. Buck, so a new
teacher was needed. In Januar
back to the school came a familiar
face, which is Mrs. Smith. We
are all very pleased with her
return and we hope she is glad to
be back. Although we are glad to'
see Mrs. Smith back We were
disappointed to see Mr Buck
leave and we will miss him very,
much.

Senior Friendship club plans pot luck
The Brussels Senior Friendship
Club met on Wednesday
afternoon in the Legion Hall for
their January meeting with about
60 members present. President
Eleanor Hemingway was in
charge of the meeting. The roll
call response was "Something. I
would like to see happen in 1975"
and some interesting suggestions
were received.'
During the business hour, it
was suggested that a pot-luck
dinner • would precede the
February meeting on Feb. 26.
The lunch committee will be in
charge and they may add to their
number if desired. It was decided
that each member would bring
their dishes (paper or otherwise)
and their silver and the problem
of dish washing would be
abolished.
No other business was brought
up so 14 tables played
progressive euchre with prize
winners as follows:
High Lady - Mrs. Elsie Evans;
Low Lady - Mrs. John Wilson;
High Man - David Watson; Low
Man-Torrance Dundas; Most
lone hands - Mrs. Russell Marks;
Most 0's on Tally - Mrs. H.
Matheson; Nearest birthday to
the day of meeting - Gordon
Murray.
Lunch was served by the
committee and a social time
enjoyed.
CNIB says
Eye injuries can happen to anyone
In today's world, with
everyone on the go, you can
injure your sight in the twinkling
of an eye or the span of a camera
Bash. Accidents take place in the
most surprising places - your own
kitchen, the basement workshop,
the school playground.
In a special White Cane Week
interview, Miss S. J. Hennig-,
hausen, Co-ordinator, Prevention
of Blindness Services, The Cana-
dian National Institute for the
Blind emphasized, "Since sight is
the gateway to 90 per cent of our
knowledge, our eyes are too
important to risk life-long
impairment."
Last year 287 Canadian
suffered serious eye injuries on
the hockey rink. The figure was
reported by the Canadian Opthal-
mological Society. Only 104
returned to full vision after
treatment, On the road to
recovery the group spent 968 days
in hospital and 17 of the hockey
buffs became legally blind in one
eye. About half the accidents, •
137, happened to young players
under 20 yeArs of age.
"The survey is only at its
beginning," said Miss flennig-
hauseri, 'but it shows that el
danger to hockey players' eyes
th
is '
12—THE BRUSSELS POST,
very real. A _face mask would
have prevented most of these
accidents.' '
"The snowmobile is another
source of serious eye injury. It's
such an exciting, sport, most
people think of the joy ride only
and forget the dangers that go
with it," she said. "TOO MANY
PEOPLE ARE THROWN OFF
INJURE THEIR HEADS AND
DAMAGE THEIR SIGHT."
"Most people take better
care of their camera than their
eyes," the CNIB official said,
"but your eyes are really the most
sensitive camera in the world.
They have no spare parts. They
must last a lifetime,"
With White Cane Week under
way, make good vision your
decision and when you can, share
your sight with your fellow blind
Canadians.
