A bus driver's prayer. One of our readers brought this prayer she had found to our office. With bus drivers recently returning to their routes, we thought it wouldb (ectated Please .orii,'Watch ovei m ' r e igy 'leaie�ie •ro r .miter to watch all five mirrors, two dozen windows, eight gauges, six warning lights, six dozen faces, three lanes of traffic and to keep a third eye open for wobbling bicycles and daydreaming pedestrians, especially teenagers wearing headsets who are in another world. • Please, Lord, help me hear all train whistles, truck and automobile horns, police sirens and the two-way radio. • Please, Lord, give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, the road book, the radio microphone and the tum -signal lever. • And Lord, please grant me the self-control to keep my hands away from Johnny's neck. And one more thing, Dear Lord, please don't let Mary be sick all over the bus. • And finally, Lord, please watch over us all so that we can do it again next year. AMEN Blyth Festival holds unique auction BLYTH - Where can you shop for such diverse bargains as a whale watching trip to New Bruns- wick, handmade quilts, one -of -a - kind pieces of artwork, auto- graphed novels, posters, scripts and CDs, and theatre, spa, fishing and golf packages? All of these items and more will be offered to the highest bidders at the Blyth Festival's Gala Auction Saturday, November 9 at the Blyth Community Centre. The auction, held every second year, is one of the Festival's biggest fundraising events and organizers hope that this year's proceeds will help burn a large chunk of the Festival's mort- gage.

Imagine a plane and pilot at your disposal for a one-hour jaunt or a luxurious stay at the historic Grand Hotel on Mackinnac Island. Everything from food products such as locally har- vested maple syrup, a gourmet pickle package and ten pounds of grain -fed veal to handcrafted treas- ures such as a heritage screen door, rocking chair, and quilt stand will he awaiting your bid. There are din- ing excursions, bed and breakfast accommodations, exciting trips, tickets to sporting events, celebrity items - even firewood, liqueur, a leather jacket and computer soft- ware. There are gift certificates ga- lore for services ranging from hair- cuts, saunas and massages to legal consultations, design work and even a band which can be rented for a dance or party. Auction -goers can also bid on a variety of experi- ences - from cutting one's own Christmas tree and watching a sheep round -up to canoeing and be- ing a newspaper editor for a day. The auction will feature live mu- sic by Cedric Smith from the legen- dary Perth County Conspiracy as well as Kim Souch and Arlene Darnbrdugh from Bayside Blue. The Gala Auction is sponsored by Ideal Supply Co. and CFPL Ra- dio. For tickets or more informa- tion, call the Blyth Festival at (519) 523-9300.
