Local food bank needs help
A phone call from Marlon McFarlane alerted us°to the fact
that the local food bank supply Is seriously., depleted.
Apparently some Of the July family allowance cheques were
late In arriving and those In 'need were forced to seek
assistance from the local food bank.
For those who have never had to seek help, it may be hard
to believe that in our immediate area there are 01mi11es who
are barely getting by on their weekly or monthly
We should never be so smug that we to not care or do
anything to help those around us« For those less fortunate, •
please remember the food bank, not only at -Christmas, but
all yearlong.
Donations of food or money to be used for replenishing the
supplies may be left at the United Church or the manse. (PL)
Picture identified
Last week's can you guess picture was, shall we say, Wade
difficult to Identify. The rock was found by Dick McQulllin and
Ron on their farm In 1978. According to a report from a
Professor W.B. Pearson at the Earth Sciences Department,
University of Waterloo, It Is a "gowanda conglomerate formed
2.2 billion years ago by glacial action In Huronlan times. It Is
a tillite formed by glaciers melting and depositing the
conglomerate. It probably came from the Sudbury or
Espanola region carried down to Kinloss by glaciers 100,000
years ago in Pllestocene Times. The protrusions or nodules
are harder rocks standing out when the softer surrounding
material was weathered away."

I was sure my days of . "child
training" were long gone, until this
past week...For some reason the
youngest member of our family has
developed some very . bad habits
that are going to get him into a
considerable amount of trouble.
The most scary wasan incident
the other evening when he was
coming home from visiting the
neighbor. I don'tknow how many
times he has been told "stop and
look both ways before you cross the
street", but that evening he did not
obeythat rule and came Close to
being motored down by a vehicle.
This all happened right in front of
my eyes. You can imagine the
fright it gave me. He was im-
mediately confined to the house and
given :t good lecture, on being
safety conscious.
Another bad • habit he has
developed lately is getting into bed
with me. He is old enough to be
sleeping m his own bed without the
comfort of "mom and dad" to make
him feel safe.
Once removed and supposedly
back in his own sleeping quarters,
be waits for a little while and, just
as I am dozing off again, he jumps
on our bed and Scares the wits out
of mei: Suitably 'reprimanded and
put back in his own bed, I he in
bed, wide-awake, waiting for sleep
to come,watching the clock as the
minutes slip by realizing if I don't
soon get some sleep, the next day
at work will not be productive, Any
of you who have suffered isomnia
know what ,a waste of time it is
trying to will sleep to come.
I finally drift off to sleep,
believing the "little one" has finaaliy
settled down for the night. Not so.
He seems to know when sleep has
come to me, and the next thing I
know, he is at the side of the bed
calling me in a demanding tone of
voice. ' Once again he is
reprimanded and put back in his
own bed.
The next routine is wandering
around the house, at first so quiet
you're- really not sure if you are
hearing anything, when suddenly
there isa crash and I know darn
well he is getting into mischief
siwply to get my attention. 0y now
Lama at my wits end.
I realize little ones get their days
and nights mixed up, but really this
one is not little anymore. He had a
routine that fer Sonnereason has
flown out the window.
Not being able to fmd:my tattered
edition of Dr. Spock to consult, I
simply sat the little one down and
explained to him, that if he didn't
get back into a routine, that allowed
me to obtain a decent night's sleep,
the Money that went towards
baying his Purina Cat Chow and
Purr Would cease to exist. I further
threatened that he would find him-
self
imself with his own small,parivate
quarters in the basement with no
access to the main floor. From the
look in his big green eyes, I'm not
sure he understood, and if he did,
he appeared to be saying, "try it
lady, and you'll see just how noisy
I can get!"
Being a pet owner can be a pain
in the neck at times!
