"Do you think I'll ever be happy
again?” asked a sad friend, ,going
through deep trouble. It seems
natural that we don't want t0 be sad,
that we have an inate longing to be
happy. Yet, what is happiness,
anyway?
One dictionary says happiness is a
state of being happy, which maybe
derived from good fortune, pleasure,
contentment or gladness. It sounds
simple, but the illusive pursuit of hap-
piness is always going on. Most of us
would say it's the thing for which we
most crave, and we read books, and
even seek out specialists to find out
how to be happy.
There do, however, seem to be a
few people who can get along without
happiness; Who do not know how to be
happy and wouldn't recognize hap-
piness if it came to them. They can-
not keep from turning back to old sor-
rows, from nursing old wounds and
rehashing past mistakes and wrongs.
These are the people who wouldn't ac-
cept a chance at happiness if it was
served up to them on a silver platter.
But, surely, they are in the minori-
ty. Most of us keep searching and will
pursue almost any route to try to at-
tain happiness. Some of us go out and
drink. Some fly to exotic places. Some
buy a new dress or try an elaborate
new beauty aid. Some throw a party.
Some bury themselves in work. Some
trade in their old partner for a new
one. Whatever the diversion, we're
willing to try it if only it will bring us
some happiness. Often, however,
we're disappointed when the sought
after happiness doesn't materialize,
or if it does, only fleetingly.
Of course, no one can be happy all
a
the time. M least, j+dan't think they
can. Sadness comes tato evary life,
but there are those few special peo-
ie who have acquired the Itgaek, or
learned the secret of being happy
most of the time. And these are the

folks who leave the deepest imprint
for good in our lives: Whoever wrote
the Biblical proverb, "4 cheerful
heart is good medicine, knew what
he was talking about. How wonderful-
ly sustaining it is to be in the presence
of a cheerful person.
Recently, I've been reading about
St. Francis of 'Assisi, an incredibly
cheerful man. On one occasion, the
news got around that St. Francis was
going to spend the night In a certain
little town. The officials planned a
great ceremony to greet him and'lin-
ed up to see who could make the most
impressive speech. When St. Francis
saw the display, his'heart sank until
he happened to see some children,
nearby, playing on a see saw. He im-
mediately joined them and began to
go up and down on the teeter totter,
laughing with them gleefully. Since it
was almost impossible to read a
solemn address to a man bobbing up
and down on a see saw; the pompous
by Gwyn Whitsmith
ceremony.
What made St. Francis, and those
who still emulate hitt*, happy? They
have no time for pretenses; they have
no selfishness; they seek nothing for
themselves. And they do ,not spend
any time discussing whether they're
happy or not. They're much too busy
for that.
If you find a happy person, today,
you may observe him/her absorbed
in writing a poem, build;ng a boat,
growing roses, fighting for a great
cause, or hunting for dinosaur eggs in
the Gobi desert. But, it seems to me,
you won't find them sitting around
discussing whether they're happy or
not.
They will not likely have gone out
consciously seeking the good fortune,
pleasure, contentment or gladness the
dictionary attaches to the word hap-
piness' but they will have found them,"
anyway.

Indians have many
different cultures
"An Indian is an Indian". Not true.
Indians are of different cultures and
different clans. The clan determines
who one is and where one sits at
ceremonies. The clans use animal
names - the Bear, the Wolf, the Tur-
tle and the. Snipe.
The members of the clan take on
the characteristics of the head - the
Bear Clan are very independent peo-
ple; the Wolves, argumentative; the
Turtles, unpredictable and physical-
ly slow; the Snipes are flighty, nosy
people.
The Indian feels that it is the will of
the Great Spirit that they return to the
land. They recognize their natural
and sacred relationship with the
animals, plants, air and water. They
see that plant and animal species are
disappearing - water is being polluted
and there are changes in the weather.

survival.
These were some of the thoughts
brought out in an Indian study given
by Doris Sillery, Clara Harris,
Mildred Thomson and Olive Thomson
at the regular February meeting of
the Exeter U.C.W.
Mary Johns, who was program
leader told of the significance of the
Medicine Wheel. She read an Indian
morning prayer. Olive Thomson,
group leader, opened the meeting
with a reading on the meaning of
Lent, followed by prayer. Olive
Harvey reported a balance of
$1,081.51 in the card fund.

Most damage
is in Goderich
The two public schools In Goderich
- Robertson Memorial and Victoria -
receive more damage than any other
elementary or high schools in Huron
County.
Robert Allan, director for the
Huron County board of education,
presented the annual school damage
report at the board's February 3
meeting. The total cost of the damage
for 1985 was $12,856 and because the
board has a $10,000 deductible limit
per incident, the cost is borne by the
taxpayers.
Victoria school had 21 incidents
which cost $3,819 and Robertson
Memorial had 15 incidents which cost
$2,063.
Allan pointed out that these aren't
all vandalism incidents, but include
accidents which occur in the schools
during regular school hours.
There was a total of 70 incidents in
elementary schools with only the
Blyth public school and East
Wawanosh,having no incidents. The
average is two incidents per school.
At the high schools, Central Huron
in Clinton and South Huron in Exeter
run pretty close with 11 and 10 in
cidents respectively. It cost $3,718 for
the damages at the county's five high
schools.
