Of the 21 people who have been hired at Bell Aerospace about 75 percent are former employees, managing director Jim Mills says. Bell Aerospace began hiring in October after landing a $21 million con- tract with the American army for four air cushion vehicles, Mills reported earlier that the firm had received hundreds of ap- plications. The staff of 15 has already been boosted to 36, Letters went out to all former em- ployees who had been laid off, inviting them to return to work. Mills says that the 75 percent return rate was about what had been an- ticipated. "Many of the skilled labourers have gone on to better things," he said. Mills says that they have tried to hire local people when possible, but some of the jobs require that workers be brought into the area.

Donations of knitted ar- ticles and good used items were brought in, also the diapers, nighties and receiving blankets the members had made. All were on display and then packed to go to Lambton County Childrens Aid at Sarnia. Irene read poems for members observing bir- Your back and shoulders ache as you fall out of bed in the morning. You stumble to the bathroom, and as you bend over the bathtub to turn on the taps, you notice that your right knee is bright purple with bruises. When you turn on the taps, there is a sharp pain when you break the large blister between your thumb and pointer finger. After your shower, you go to your closet and find that every pair of pants you own has a strange worn out spot on the right knee. If all these problems sound familiar, then you were probably in a curling bon- spiel the night before. The sore shoulders result from trying to move around those ridiculously heavy hunks of granite. The bruised knee is caused by those mandatory long slides out of the hack. The blistered hands come from a broom handle, as you're sweeping your heart out to the sound of some guy named "Skip" shouting "Yes, yes, yes!" Yes, curling is a great sport, - plenty of fun, and you only suffer minor discom- forts, besides the frost-bitten toes. * * * Now, snowmobiling, there's a sport where I get plenty of exercise. I can hardly wait for the season to to get underway. Like so many other people, I used to be down on snowmobiles. Some people say that they are just a waste of gas, especially since the price has gone sky high. But as an avid boater and waterskier, I could never use the gas-wasting excuse. So I used to criticize snowmobiling because I thought it didn't give you enough exercise. That was before I tried it. My husband (well, he was my boyfriend then) bought a snowmobile in a moment of weakness during a blizzard a thdays in November and December. The members made plans to purchase a quantity of flannelette to makeup for the spring shower for Children's Aid. Lunch hostesses were Marjorie Mason and Aileen Ravelle. Next meeting will be January 28. Anglican church News The members of Trivitt Anglican church, Exeter, joined with members of St. few years ago. The snowmobile is a rather small one, certainly not built for two. But it's the only one we have, so I'm expected to sit on the back and enjoy the ride. This is where I get all my exercise. I spend more time falling off then I do riding. Just trying to stand up in a bulky snowsuit and boots that make your feet look like Frankenstein's is plenty of exercise. Now imagine trying to do that while laying in a snowbank, on your back like the proverbial turned turtle. When I do finally get to my feet, I then get plenty of exercise chasing the snowmobile, and my husband who didn't notice a thing, down the trail, Shouting doesn't help, because he can't hear a thing through the helmet either. Usually when I take these runs behind the snowmobile, I find that the snow is waist deep. I've somewhat remedied thefrequencyof these chases. Now as I feel myself slipping off the back of the machine, I start flailing my arms and legs as hard as I can. One of my swings will usually hit my dear driver a good loud crack on the back of his helmet. The sound rever- berates through his helmet, until he realizes he's lost his cargo. Last weekend we went with some friends to a dance kicking off the next snowmobile season. In another moment of weakness, my husband purchased a membership in the Arkona Hillclimbers Snowmobile Club. Already some of the other members are telling us we should go in their annual long distance run from Arkona to Hensall in January. That kind of exercise, I don't need.
