Members of the yacht club got together and hired a crane to take the boats from the river. Says Gilberry: "When my boat's up in the slings, I just turn my head." DOWN SHE COMES — Yacht club members use ropes to guide Wind Dancer into position, as the crane lowers her into her cradle for a long winter's nap. A truck with a specially equipped hydrolic system lifts cradle and all into its winter home near the yachting clubhouse. About 25 boats were taken from the river Friday. it Mary's' musings BY MARY ALDERSON My class at journalism school last year used to disappoint our professors because of our lack of par- ties. We ,weren't typical students, least of all, typical journalism students, who are usually getting together and throwing a party for any reason at all. Our parties were seldom spontaneous, but when we did celebrate, it was usually for a good cause. Our get-togethers were always well-planned and organized. Halloween, we decided, was a good excuse for a party. But no ordinary costume party would do - we had to have a gimmick. We invited all the staff, in- cluding our new visiting essor Malcolm Mugg• '.:e. And that's where we g. e idea for our party theme. For o M I ge ha. . • • n telling about his new • . , . ,"The Decline of the West". We ha"d"- heard nothing but pessimistic p'FedTetlottis*Trom him. He talked endlessly about moral decay, and the end of the world due to pollution and war. But the main ,thedry , he' exnded wasadp�q�i' the "decench 'of v . anan." • That was it! We would have a decadent Halloween party. Everybody would come dressed as someone to which Malcolm Muggeridge objected. We invited Malcolm and his wife Kitty, but they said although they would attend, they would not come in costume. We decided to spread the location of the party among five classmates who all had apartments in the same building. We met at Maggie's for drinks - for some reason the line-up at the rum punch was longer than the queue that formed at the hollowed out pumpkin which held the pumpkin soup. Then it Was on to the 'a.,text- floor -Where pot -luck salads were served in Maureen's apartment, and casseroles at Leslie's. By that time, if you were still hungry, pumpkin pie and candy apples as well as other treats were served at Peggy's apartment. Then it . was down to ions, where he'd moved his furniture out of the living room for an evening of dancing. We attracted a lot of at- tention wandering about the halls of the apartment building in our decadent clothing. There were numerous punk rockers with painted faces slicked up hair and safety pin earrings. At that time Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious were making the news with their British punk group, the Sex Pistols. Well, in our midst we found Jimmy Putrid and the Sex Cannons. There were assorted pimps and ladies of the ight. In fact, our assistant e: (who is now a irt5-na editor at the Globe and Mail) : me dressed in a long .bright . d gown: -She wore heaps o . akeup and flashy jewelle as a "madame". One young Irish la sporting a peasant dre nesy.-rec cherikstk:$ut.,b herarrn wa3 a book elitist! "How to make a Motto cocktail" and she carried a membership card in the Irish,Republician Army. The fellow with the skinniest legs in the class came to the party in nothing but diapers, inside a huge plastic tube. That's right - he was our test tube baby - something that Muggeridge had criticized several times. Muggeridge is against anything that tampers with nature. For the same reasons he objects to ar- ificial means of birth ontrol. Unfortunately, it was difficult to make a ostume in the shape of a uge pill. We also had a tough guy rom the Mafia. He was dressed in -a' lack pin stripe uit, with a white fedora and un glasses. He mumbled ust like the Godfather, with ping pong ball in each heek. A disco' queen came,' s well as a "flasher" earing nothing but an vercoat and a smile. Truly, all the decadence of came and er c c h f s 9 j a c a w 0 Streets soon back to normal Car drivers in Grand Bend will be pleased to find that streets in their village will soon be paved and back to normal after sewer in- stallations. Jack Leslie, an inspector with M.M. Dillon consulting engineers says that the paving of the streets which were torn up for sewer work will be finished this week. Restoration of road sides, side walks and others areas disturbed by the con- struction will be finished in about three weeks. The sewer installation is running on schedule for the north half of the village. Work at the lagoons, east of Grand Bend, has been completed for present. However, bidding for the construction on the south half has not yet taken place. Leslie says that it is "highly indefinite" when work south of the river will begin. Leslie says that there may be a period of inactivity between the time when the north part is completed and work begins in the southern portion. All the services go beyond private property boundary lines in the areas where the pipes -have been laid. Individuals have to engage their own plumbing con- tractors to bring service into their homes. Len Villeneuve, also with M.M, D i 114-:--- o.44; , t, compiattft nir ° of Grand Bend have been very few. Most of e complaints are about the la of restoration, and Ville ve says that they rectify situations im- mediately. People hay co-operated very well when here have been traffic e -ups, Villeneuve says. our time was well represented. There was one costume which never made it to the party, though. One girl had planned to come as Malcolm Muggeridge. She owned ,a green corduroy jacket, just like the one Malcolm Muggeridge has worn for the past 15 years. She also had desert boots just like his, and with a wrinkled mask and her short hair powdered, she could have pulled it off. She had even planned to carry a tea pot, instead of imbibing in the rum punch. But when Malcolm and Kitty accepted our invitation her costume plans changed.

Sponsors Shirley Hodgson and Cheri Otterbein led the girls in a discussion about plans for future meetings and things the girls would like to study and participate in. The girls were then in- troduced to life in Nigeria by Mrs. Hodgson who recently spent two years there along with her husband and two small children, through slides and stories of in- cidents that had happened to them. Many of the girls were shocked to learn that most of the Nigerian girls at their age would already be en- tering into marriage. However, on the other hand, Shirley warped them that if the husband decided at any point he didn't care for his new wife, he could divorce her simply be repeating three time in front of a witness, "I divorce you". Snakes -had been aevery- day part of the Hodgson's lives while in Africa, and the girls were fascinated with stories of various encounters with them. When her husband, Paul, went to work one day he unexpectedly uncovered a smake lying under a pile of papers on his desk. An R.N. Shirley always kept snake bite serum on hand in case of bites, but the family managed to avoid any ac- cidents. Another close call came when the family noticed an unusual noise and turned off the air conditioner in an- attempt nattempt to identify it and found a poisonous snake lodged in the air conditioner. Grass had to be kept cut close to the house to avoid their coming into the house, but they could easily be heard moving fn the long grass close by. Election of officers for the coming year was held with Heather McGuire elected treasurer, Nancy Shepley, vice-president and Monica Scheifele, president. The girls, ages 9-13 will meet the third Wednesday of each month and newmembers will be welcomed.

South Huron started off in brilliant fashion as they easily disposed of Strathroy 2-0. Bonnie Keys and Ann Marie Brand were the scorers.
