Wright, 33, of R.R. 2, Seaforth, was fined $2,000 in Huron County court for attempting to defraud the commission by submitting a $4,160 claim in November, 1978, for a white bean crop. Wright, described by his lawyer, Bob Rogerson of Stratford, as a "prosperous farmer", was found guilty last month following a four- day trial. Henry Ediger, general manager of the commission, said later in Toronto it is the first conviction and fine registered in the province Since the fund was establish- ed in 1966. The fund has about 15,000 policyholders and disburses about $15 million annually. Judge Francis Carter said Wright's actions have rang- ing consequences in an agricultural area such as Huron. He told Wright he must consider the deterrent effect of the sentence on others and noted he could have given him five years in penitentiary.

If it became a widespread practice to attempt to get crop insurance funds fraudulently, Carter said, it would result "in a depletion of funds for bona fide claims," That would mean the Ontario government would have to bail out the scheme or premiums would be greatly increased, the judge said. "If this court does not run up a red warning flag ... great harm may ensue in this community." He rejected a request from Crown Attorney Garry Hunter that the fine match the amount involved in the false claim and he marvell- ed at the attempted fraud considering the man had a gross farm income of about $100,000 a year. Rogerson said Wright had been drinking heavily at the time of the offence and has already suffered "public humiliation .. and the stigma of this conviction." On Christmas Eve By LYNN GAISER Stephen Central I couldn't sleep, It was eleven-thirty-nine, Our tree was all decorated, It was a beautiful pine. Suddenly I heard, this thumping sound I knew it was Santa Cause he jumped with a bound. I threw the covers off of my bed, and ran out to see him, And there he spread, Toys and lots of other stuff He had rosy cheeks, and a big cheerful smile, But soon he left, After he delivered his pile. I couldn't believe it, I had seen Santa Claus, But then I was waken, By my dog and her paws! The Stuck Santa By JOHN HUNTER Grade 4 J.A.D. McCurds "Oh how will I ever get out of the chimney," said Santa. "I shouldn't have eaten that last piece of pie." Santa heard foot steps coming down the stairs. It was the grinch. He was an evil person. He was waiting for Santa so he could tie him up and take his place. Santa kept quiet. The grinch saw Santa's feet. He said "A ha-Now I will tickle your feet until you give me your suit." Santa said, "Go ahead." He did and Santa laughed. He laughed so hard he came flying out the chimney. He delivered all the presents and went home for five eggs and five pieces of toast. AGNES BODENHAM Agnes (Gibson) Bodenham, suddenly at University Hospital, London on Sunday, December 16, 1979.

All that I do year round is make toys If I were Santa there would be a few changes. First of all only good, good children would get presents. Santa nags at me all of the time. "Get those toys fixed, he says. All we get to eat is meatloaf and Mrs. Claus makes it. "Yuch"! (Per- sonally I prefer pizza.) To top all of that off I have to ride in Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. First hot countries, then cold. I've got one doozy of a cold by the end of the night. It's a drag. But it's a living!! Christmas By CATHERINE MacKID Grade 7, Precious Blood Christmas is a time of peace. Its happiness shall never cease, As bells ring And angels sing, All over the earth People celebrate Jesus's birth. Children wait for Santa to come, The presents they get are a great sum. Christmas trees stand in every home and store, They are there for people to adore. While stockings han from fireplaces, Children wear smiling faces, As you see, there are many reasons, Why Christmas is a happy season. When Will I be Chosen? By DWAYNE LAWRENCE Grade 5 Hensall Public School In the wood A little tree stood With all the trees beside him. Without any fear One of the trees were chosen. When the trees were chosen They all were chopped down and taken to a house, And always chewed on by some mouse. When the owner came again, He carried decorations in a can. He decorated the tree Then waited for Christmas. After Christmas had come and gone, I used to wait for a year Then the time came again, The little trees was won- dering Wondering if he would be chosen His wonders did come true, He was the first to be picked! Christmas Is Here By GRADES ONE AND TWO Mount Carmel School Christmas is here Santa is near. Bells are ringing Kids are singing Snow is Falling Angels are Calling, Jens is here, Let's give a cheer, Dinner Surprise By ERIC BROWN Grade 6 Grand Bend Public School One year ago my mother ordered a huge turkey. When the turkey arrived, it was alive! A note was with it. Feed it food and it will grow huge. So we fed it and fed it. It didn't even grow an inch. We found out it was rabbit food, So after a week it started growing to be 12 to 14 pounds. It was 2 days before Christmas. My mother told me to get an axe and kill him. But I didn't kill him. On Christmas the turkey and I came to dinner. He was dressed in a bow tie. Tis the Night Before Christmas By TAMMY BELL — Grade 5 Hensall Public School 'Tis the night before Christmas And all is dark Not a creature is stirring around in the park. Santa is giving his toys a pull The children are happy 'cause their stocking are full. 'Tis the night before Christmas And the snow is falling It is a dark night and not a person in sight The children are in bed Though nothing is being said. Christmas is nearly hear. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Christmas Eve By PATRICIA BERTENS Precious Blood School In the corner is the Christ- mas tree The children in bed wait in glee Above the door is some mistletoe And outside are big drifts of snow But there by the chimney is quite a sight There's a little old man with his eyes shining bright. He's all dressed in red With a hat on his head Quick as a wink he stuffs my big stocking Then he's up he chimney without even walking And away in his sleigh he rode out of sight Deeper and deeper into the night. A Christmas Poem By MURRAY RUNDLE Grade 7, Usborne Central The bright snow Was glistening And everyone was listening To hear the loud sounds Of the Christmas bells round Credit cards are running low Christmas lights begin to glow The children now are in their beds With dreams of toyland in their heads There was a bright shinning star Along time ago away off far Christ Jesus was born On that crisp Christmas 'MCA, Christmas is often thought of as a time of great celebrating but Jesus's birth is the true Meaning of Christmas. Sinta Claus By PAULETTE ROTHBAU ER Grade 5 J.A.D. McCurdy Santa Claus is a jolly elf, Dressed in red and white. Laughing and laughing to himself. He's really a funny sight. Santa rides in a sleigh, Full of all kinds of toys. Ho-ho-hoing along the w ay. And making a lot of noise. Santa makes yummy candy. Using red and white candy paint. Five pounds is what he gains When he eats them like a saint. Santa lets his white beard grow, Until it's as long as a sword. It's as white as -the whitest snow. And as stringy as a guitar cord. Santa is a busy, busy ghome Making toys for boys and girls In, his small and cozy home, Sawdust and wood out the window he hurls Santa goes around the earth In only one whole day, Always thinking about Jesus birth In the manger far away. Christmas Day By PETER COOK Grade 6 Hensall Public School One Christmas morning, The old folks were snoring, The children were waking, And the whole house was shaking, The tree looked pleasant, Especially their presents, The parents woke up, And said, "What's up! They opened their presents, And the children said, "How pleasant!" They cleaned up the wrap, Accept for mother, She didn't even bother, The men got up, And they all had "sup", They watched T.V. And took down the tree, The children went to bed, And mother said "I'm dead," And she too went to bed. Christmas By BRUCE DIETRICH Grade 5 Mount Carmel School Christmas is coming, Lots of people are humming, Santa is coming soon. Santa will be here, His sled will appear, Can you hear his tune? Children will be singing, Bells will be ringing, Under the Christmas moon. Jolly Santa By JODI LEE GREEN Grade 3 J.A.D. McCurdy I saw Jolly-old-Santa I saw Jolly-old-Santa, Upon a Christmas Eve; And all that he had in his sack I could hardly believe! He was the real Santa, And if he had known better, lie wouldn't have given me all that I wanted, Without even reading my letter! By DEBBIE PENNINGA Grade 8 Exeter Public Scheel 1979 has been declared International Year Of The Child. Its purpose is to give children the rights to have a good education, love and their own decision con- cerning what they want to be. It is also to help the children who are abused, starving or living in worn torn countries. At the beginning of the year some singers such as Olivia Newton-John, Andy Gibb, the Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Rod Stewart gave the rights of the gongs I'm Gettin' Somettln" for Christmas By VICKIP 7FAFF, Grade Usborne Central Chorus "I'm gettin' somettin' for Christmas."

All the money that the particular song made was greatly appreciated by the treasurer for International Year Of the Child who gave them a tearful thank-you. Many commercials were made, showing how to help children in need and children feel about their parents and themselves. The commercial showed even little children which is beneficial to show that even the smallest of children have feelings, fears and rights. On one com- mercial, a little boy said, "I'd like to get away from My parents for a couple of weeks!" Sally Struthers, an ac- tress, who used to star on "All In The Family" is contributing very much to helping children in poverty. She does commercials and appears in magazines, telling about supporting a child in a Communist or poverty stricken country. She tells about the little girl she is supporting and shows the girl's letters. She asks people to follow her example and support a child. In our school, E:P.S. we are also acknowledging The Day When Santa Lost His Mittens By DEREK BIERLING Grade 4 J.A.D. McCurdy One cold winter day while Santa was loading his sleigh, he couldn't find his mittens. Santa said to Mrs. Claus "Have you seen my mittens? Mrs. Claus answered "No I have not. Santa mumbled "I can't go out in the North Pcle without my mittens." Mrs. Claus was crying. She said to Santa "I have a great idea." Santa said "Aren't you going to tell me. Mrs. Claus said "You'll see on Christmas Eve. That night when Santa was in bed, he wondered what Mrs. • Claus was doing. She was knitting mittins for him. On Christmas Eve Santa cried. He thought he couldn't deliver presents. Mrs. Claus said "Why are you sad?" Santa said "I can't-deliver' presents and the children won't like me." Mrs. Claus said "How do you know? I knitted a pair for you. Santa yelled "You did?" Mrs. Claus said "Load your sleigh. After the sled was loaded Santa went off with the reindeer and a sack of gifts. International Year Of The Child. In the autumn parade we had children dressed in costume for many countries of the world, along with people holding signs telling what country the costume was worn in. There was also a tape playing the song "It's a Small World After All." There were children from grades one to eight in the parade. Our school also had an assembly for this project. There were children dressed up in costumes from several countries, including Viet Nam, Mexico and Germany. We were then shown a film entitled "Free To Be You and Me." Though it was not made in 1979 it mainly dealt The Night Santa fell out His sled By'SCOTT RUSSELL Grade 2 J.A.P. McCurdy It was very cold one Christmas eve. Santa hit- ched up the team, and off he went delivering toys here and there. A disaster had happened. Santa fell out of his sled and down through the Johnson's chimney. He got quite a bit dusty but he finally got out. He put all the toys under the tree. And did you know that he never went down or up chimneys ever again. Diamond By COLLEEN GLASGOW Grade8 Exeter Public School Baby holy, petite resting, loving, growing infant, child, Christian, Christ preaching, forgiving, praising faithful, obedient Jesus Winter Poem By CHRISTINA McILHARGEY Grade 5 St. Patrick- Lucan Once there was a snowman He lived out in the snow He had to stay there There was no where else to go He wanted to go inside But he knew that he would melt Oh no one could imagined How sad the snowman- felt One day there came a blizzard The children stayed inside to play The snowman was so afraid He would blow away that day When the blizzard left The children came out again They built the snowman a snowife He was happy for the rest of his snowman life, with how children felt and that parents should not stereotype their children. The film showed a boy who wanted a doll, only to be ridiculed by his friends, a boy unjustly blamed for a mess at school, a princess not wanting to marry whoever her father chose, and several songs including "It's All Right To Cry," Mario Thomas narrated and appeared in this film. Huron County Music Night was in December instead of March so the schools could pay tribute to International Year Of the Child. The choirs sang songs entitled "Reach Out In Love" and "With A Little Love." These songs told about how many children needed help and how we must help each other. All our problems aren't solved, but now the world knows that there's care. Hopefully, we can solve problems like child abuse and give children a happy world to live in. Christmas to Me BARBARA GALLANT Grade5 Stephen Central Christmas-a time of love. A time to remember our loved ones faraway. The time to raise your voice in praise of the birth of Christ- our Saviour. The time of year brotherly love becomes reality as strangers muffled against wintery blasts, and staggering beneath tinselled packages say to each other "Merry Christmas"! Christmas-a time for children. Boys and girls nestled down in dreaming warmth, on Christmas Eve, listening for the sound of reindeer on the roof and Santa coming down the chimney. The laughter beneath the true as their dreams come true on Christmas morn.
