In an effort to solve an unusual education problem, three members of the Lamb-, ton County Board of Educa- tion met with a counter -part committee from the Huron County Board of Education. Larry Boyd, chairman of Lambton's Board to discuss a situation where a number of kids (from 2 to 12) who live near or in Grand Bend are bused to Stephen Central School in Huron County." Although the Grand Bend students live in Huron Coun- ty "some are within walking distance" of Grand Bend School. And parents consider their families part of the Grand Bend school communi- ty. They would prefer their children attend Grand Bend. The meeting was set up, goes on Boyd, "to make some sort of arrangement, some sort of pitch, to keep Grand Bend kids as a unit by allow- ing them to go to Grand Bend School ... yet have Huron County pay their tuition." And the Huron County response? "Not encouraging," says Boyd. "They were unanimous in not being receptive to pay- ing any tuition." If Lambton's Board ends up teaching the kids, continues the chairman, "we'd get the grant" while Huron County "gets the property tax." Maximum tuition for students living in Huron to at- tend Grand Bend is $50. a month per family; the Lamb - ton Board could set a tuition, though, of whatever amount it wishes "as long as it doesn't exceed" the $50. The Lambton committee in- cluded chairman Boyd, and trustees Karen Morrow (Sar- nia Township and Point Ed- ward) and Pauline Lingard (Bosanquet, Grand Bend, and Thedford) . The "problem" will be discussed at the Lambton Board's next meeting, November 12. Schedule to return Exeter homeowners will get special garbage pickups on a monthly basis again next year. The public works commit- tee reported this week that a trial period of reducing the pickup turned out not to be the money -saver that had been anticipated. Chairman Tom Humphreys said there was still the same amount of refuse and there was no time saving as the pickups took up to two or three days rather than the normal one. In addition. he said that people still put the items out on the boulevard in anticipa- tion of a monthly pickup and this made the town unsightly at times. The pickup will be from April to November inclusive in 1985. THE DEVIL WAS THERE — Exeter United Church was invaded by the devil during Saturday's Hallowe'en party.

Exner 212 227 298 249 140 158 LIGHTS ARE ON If you've noticed Bell Canada vehicles with their lights on during the day, it's part of a new safety policy in the company's Ontario region. "Studies from around the world show a definite decrease in the number of multi -vehicle accidents when lights are used during the day," says Jim Simpson, Bell's director of safety for Ontario. According to these studies, a vehicle with its lights on, even in bright daylight, is easier to see. On the highway, that increased noticeability also means a driver can more easily judge how far away an incoming vehicle is if that vehicle has its lights on. So, from now on, Bell employees will turn on the lights at all times in the com- pany's fleet of 7,100 cars. vans and (rucks. They've also been encouraged to follow he same safety policy when v- ing their personal cars. Crediton East Times -Advocate, November 7, 1984 Pogo 19 Tiger Times...from St.phen Cntral Creating Ghoulies by Room Nine - Room Nine created ghoulies in their art lesson. We rolled half a newspaper It's been a rough week -- there have been five horren- dous murders, and all in our basement. The murders shouldn't be difficult to solve at all. The victims had a lot in common: they were all grey and furry, and the modus operandi was the same in each case: the dreaded mouse trap. Now it doesn't bother me in the least to deal a deathly blow to a cricket or fly, in fact I find bug killing rather like a sport. But I really don't like killing mice. As a long time animal lover, I find killing any kind of little critter very upsetting. After all, these little mice weren't so different from the hamsters I used to keep in cages. I enjoyed my hamsters, letting them run up my arms and around my neck. I also once had a white rat as a pet. My sister was taking a university summer course, where rats were used as part of an experiment on nutrition. At the end of the course, I received the white rat that had been fed pop and doughnuts all summer -- un- fortunately he didn't live long enough for me to become very attached to him. My parents often remind me of the time I kept five baby mice alive in a match box in my bedroom after their mother met an untimely demise. The little mice disap- peared mysteriously after they were big enough to start shaking the match box and their existence. was discovered. In addition to mice, rats and hamsters, I played foster mother it more rabbits than can be counted, . Mallard ducks, budgie birds and a series of cats and dogs. So to say I am an animal lover is probably an understatement. However, I am not joining the ranks of those who feel they must go out and protest for animal rights. I would not, for example, try to stop the annual seal hunt. Sure there are some pretty gory film clips of cute little seals being bashed over the head and 1 certainly don't like watching it. But on the other hand. By MRS. STAN PRESZCATOR Mrs. Mary Gower is a pa- tient in Queensway Nursing Home Hensall. Mrs Margaret Clarke has returned home from Victoria Hospital.

A string was tied around the neck to keep the ball from falling out. We add- ed eyes, hands, mouths, fangs, noses, warts and other things to create a gross look - Mary's musings By Mary Alderson there doesn't seem to be a shortage of seals and that is how those people make their living. My reasoning is this: l once had the opportunity to visit a slaughter house where pigs were being sent to market. Those pigs were being treated far worse than a seal who gets bashed on the head -- they were herded off a truck where many stumbled, broke their legs, and were trampled by the rest of the crowd. While squealing and crying their necks were slashed and they were still kicking and twit- ching as they went on a con- veyor belt. It was not a pret- ty sight. But do you see animal rights protesters mar- chign in front of abattoirs with placards? For that mat- ter do the protesters picket in front of farms where animals are being raised for slaughter? The main difference is that most people don't find full- grown, ready -for -market pigs attractive. But fuzzy, white baby seals with big sad eyes are cute -- so it is perceived that they suffer more. Those who say they wouldn't wear a fur coat because they feel it is wrong to kill animals should also give up bacon and veal cutlets. Recently there has been more and more talk about the use of animals for scientific research. And although I am an avowed animal lover, I support the use of animals for research if it will someday save a human life. Now pro- testers are complaining because a gorilla was killed so that its heart could be transplanted into a baby girl. If this transplant is 'suc- cessful, I see nothing wrong with raising gorillas for the purpose of heart transplants. It is all a matter of keeping priorities straight. While not wanting to see any creature suffer unduly, I think it is im- portant to weigh the extent and reason for the pain. For that matter, I have priorities, even lathe animal kingdom. Those five mice I niul;dered without pity? They were eating my dog's kibbles, so they had to go. ing creature. We used gray, white, orange, and black tissue paper. The ghoulies were displayed hanging from the door. Janelle enjoyed it because it was something new for her. Julie liked making ugly creatures. Kevin put his on the door at home for a decoration. P.D.
