West 'Williams ant ;" as '5e0ed on the Board :for the past' six years. During this period he has served on all of the Board committees. He and his wife, Bessie, have two children in high school and one in public school. New to the scene this year Malcolm McLean is a sheep farmer and. currently is teaching public school. If elected he will resign from teaching as of Christmas 1980 in order to avoid con- flict of interest. His experience includes 10 years of teaching; 4 years as a secondary school teacher, 6 years with Middlesex County as a public school teacher. In this period he taught across the grades from grade 4 to 13, and serv- ed on science, physical education and values educa- tion curriculum committees. He is presently a Provincial.

Saturday morning bowling was a little less attended but that was to be expected because of the scout apple day. Thursday night bingo, as always, was a success but the jackpot did not go' this week. Maybe as the pot builds there will be larger crowds and surely a winner. Next bingo is to be held a week from Thursday. Sponsor sheets for the skate-a-thon are now available at the arena and will soon be at the schools in the township. Pick yours up soon andiget it filled. Don't forget 'to' be involved and show up with your skates on Friday, November 7 at 8:00. There has been a bit of confusion over the placing of new stop signs in the park. Some of us are awaiting the opening of the new freeways namely; Algonquin Freeway, and Columbia Freeway. By erecting the stop signs at the corners of the access roads it is felt that the two freeways now enable the dragsters the opportunity to test the speed and reaction of the kids playing on and around the streets. Good luck to the kids but I don't hold out much hope of you beating the cars. If it is any consolation to you I will endeavor to get a license to erect a toll booth in front of my house Whin will enable me to at least stop the cars before they race past the school. I'm sure that all of you witnessed the first of our snowfalls over the weekend. All it means is that where it came from there is a lot more on its way. Keep your wits about you during the winter months so that next year you will be around to enjoy the summer.

In the village there was an in- teresting man, the medicine man, there were four medicine men, one predicted future, one cured sick, one controlled elements (rain, wind) and one who scared the evil spirits out of people. The Huronia Museum, had thousands of arrowheads in it, There was a display of the Huron Indian Christmas Carol of how Father Brebeuf taught the Hurons that, Jesus was born in a longhouse, the 'three wisemen were the three chiefs, just so the Indians could understand the traditional Christmas Story. In the museum there were early pioneer day clothes and tools, such as pure silk dresses and butter churns, We saw a film on the abstract Indian art by Thor Hanson. and his hundreds of sculptures and paintings. Sainte Marie was a French Jesuit Mission, reconstructed to depict the excitement and determina- tion of the Jesuits as they tried to teach Christianity to the Huron Indians, In the sturdy log buildings, insulated by two inches of sand between two strong elm logs, Jesuits lived for nearly ten years. In these huge constructions, there were separate quarters for each member of the family. visit, Marie w After the Sainte Marie Me uwseeunmt t, Wothee Sainte saw extraordinary display of a a a n small woodland community, including a pond and animal voices. There were show- cases with different furs dis- played in them. Old fashion- ed pioneer tools such as ax- es, and tomahawks, and some films- were available for independent viewing. After our long day of ex- citement we went to the Sportsman Motor Inn, in Vic- toria Harbour. We all settled in about 10:00; well that's what Mrs, Brophey, said.
