We can compete against other countries in anything. We have a good national anthem and a good national flag. We are good peacekeepers and we help people that are poor and sick.

Christine Malhers Biddulph Central School I have many different reasons why I'm proud to be a Canadian. One reason is we are a peaceful country because we haven't had a war against us in a long time. We have clean water and plenty of healthy food. Canada is home to many famous celebrities. Another reason is we have excellent sports teams. (How about those Jays!) There are also many good school systems. But most of all, I am proud to be Ca- nadian because we have been together for 125 wonderful years. So stand tall, 0 Canada! You should be proud to be a Canadian." De-ann Rollings Biddulph Central School "1 am proud to be a Canadian be- cause we have good sports teams.

I'm proud because we have a lower crime rate than in the United States.I'm proud because we have beautiful land like Prince Edward Island. I'm proud that some Cana- dian sports stars, who play in the United States, still say that they arc Canadians." Kurt Juergens Biddulph Central School "I love my country (Canada) be- cause of the good health programs and excellent education. I think we have the best sports teams in the world.

IF Blue Water Rest Home news ZURICH - Friday afternoon the "Clinton Wheel & Dealers" square dance group visited the Blue Wa- ter Rest Home to display their tal- ent of being light on their feet and to work in such unison to the sound of music and the calls from Les Greenwood. Ten couples in flowing skirts and loose tic dis- played what fun can be had. Forty couples meet each Wednesday night at Clinton Public School just for the fun of square dancing. On Friday evenings Ed and Lois Wise supervise 25 cou- ples called the "Huron Happy Hearts" who meet for round danc- mg, quite often the same couples being involved in both groups. Friday morning the residents were greeted with ghosts and gob- lins from the Bean Sprout Nursery School of Zurich. The teacher, Brenda Menary, volunteer helper Mary Lou Masse and six parent helpers brought 16 young smiling faces to sing to the residents. Upon leaving, one young lady crawled up on the settee beside one of the more handsome grandfather resi- dents, while another, a cute little clown passed among the residents with a farewell hand shake. Thursday evening residents boarded the bus for a Hallowe'en dance at the Queensway Nursing Homc of Hensen. Mozart Gelinas on guitar and George Matbonia on the accordion kept the residents ei- ther on their feet or Joe ,lapping to the swinging music. Rev.
