During last Monday's regular meeting of the Huron County Board of Education, Rotary Club chairman Don Prowse presented the board with a cheque for over S18,0(X) to help fund the new ele- vator lift installed • to meet the needs of the physically challenged at South Huron District High School. "Josh Watson of Exeter came to one of our meetings and gave a fine presentation," said Prowse. "After we heard his story, we felt we had to help." And they did so in near record time. Within the short spare of six months, the club put together chari- table events and miraculously raised the $18,0(X). The majority of the cash was raised in connec - tion with a celebrity roast held at Oakwood Inn, in which the club INF ' RMATION NIGHT onthe CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Thursday, October 22 7:30 p.m. Clinton Town Hall Auditorium The Council of the Town of Clinton Is hosting an 'INFORMATION NIGHT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND- MENT" tor residents to hear the Pros and Cons or the -YES' - "NO' posi- tions on the Constitutional Amendment Speakers will include Professor Rob Martin.

JOIN THE CROWD y BE A REGULAR V BLOOD DONOR Blue Water Rest Home news ZURICH - Last Tuesday morning was any mothers' or teachers' dream. Thirty-five children from the Grade five class at St. Boniface School appeared quietly in anticipation of meeting their buddy for the year at Blue Water Rest Home. Cathy Shantz, Home Adjuvant, their teacher Ms. Suplat and parent volunteers Debbie Overholt and Brenda Koehler introduced the children to their resident buddy. Some residents received special buddies. Loftus Denoinme was matched with his great nephew Joy Denomme; Adeline Denomy with her great niece Pamela Regier; Theresa Ducharme with her great grand- daughter Amanda McKinnon; -Noel La Porte with his -great grand- daugther Ardone La Porte and Mary Romaniszyn with a cousin Andrea Becker. Each child spent time conversing with their newly acquired buddy and took a tour of the rest home fascilities. For a mother of four, it was hard to believe 35 children could be so well disciplined, so quiet and polite. Tuesday evening the home auxiliary's "Swinging Seniors" entertained the residents with some fancy toe -tapping music. Walter Noels, An- drew Rau, Jack Simnons, Ralph Stephenson and Adam Wilson kept the residents in good spirits and Mary Lou Denommc read poems of "Re- tirement" and "What Do You Sec", followed by a light lunch. Wednesday afternoon the residents gathered in the auditorium for af- ternoon tea. A warm refresher on a cool autumn day, and plenty of conversation to go around. Thursday morning the home was visited by JBS Health care Products and the residents went on a shopping spree. New blouse's, dresses, trou- sers, slippers and those othcr necessities were picked out, tried on, and fitted for all the special occasions in the future. Pastor Stephen Alles, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich was in charge of Chapel Service. Thursday afternoon. Father Peter Hayes cele- brated mass. Friday afternoon Glen Thiel took residents on a bus ride down the Brunson Line to Dashwood, checked out the pier at Grand Bend, and followed the lake back up to SL Joseph. With the beautiful weather the past two weeks, no icebergs were reported afloat. Friday evening the bingo cards were once more placed face up for an- other round of lady luck. Mac Davidson, BWRH resident, is spending a few days at South Hu- ron Hospital, Exeter. Oriole Harvey, BWRH Apartments, is spending the Thanksgiving weekend with her sister Mary Caton, brother Thompson Robinson and families at Picton. Beatrice Rader, BWRH Apartments, is enjoying her turkey with her daughter Catherine Zurbrigg and husband Claire at Kitchener. Sunday morning the auditorium was filled with the sounds of music as the adult Sunday school class form Zurich Mennonite Church pre- sented the residents with a lovely selection of songs for the festive day of Thanksgiving. Lucan council rejects 30 minute parking idea LUCAN - A request from a local business to establish a 30 minute parking zone on Main street, near the public library has been denied by council. Taking into consideration infor- mation received from bylaw en- forcement officer Stan Flood, coun- cil agreed the move would be too costly. Flood said effective enforcement would be impractical. He contin- ued, " Upon receipt of a complaint or a personal observation, a chalk mark would have to be made on the offending vehicle with the time not - BE A ?O\'VER SAVER ed. Thirty minutes later this would have to be checked again and a ticket written if the vehicle is still there and hasn't been moved." The bylaw officer added, "This would be a very time consuming project anti as a part-time appoint- ment, I don't believe the allowance for such projects is reflected in the remuneration package". Council was unanimous in the de- cision to deny the request and reeve Tom McLaughlin concluded, 7This would have to be done with some regularity and we don't have the re- sources to enforce it".
