Annie Morenz SHIPKA - Farmers in the Shipka area were busy harvesting their corn crops last week. Fall tour Recently a bus load of seniors from Grand Bend, Dashwood, Shipka and Thedford enjoyed a fall color mystery tour. The first stop was at the Glencoe shoe factory, around Oil Springs, along St. Clair River to Sombra where they crossed on the ferry to Port Huron and had dinner. Leaving here they crossed the bridge to Sarnia and drove through Petrolia, saw the old Play House and library and to Reece's Corners and home again. It was a beautiful day and driver Peter McNaughton gave interesting com- mentary on places. Ecumenical meeting Several women from this area at- tended the Thanksgiving Ecumeni- cal held last Tuesday night, Octo- ber 10 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic church, Grand Bend. Anniversary service Cast Sunday, October 15 was the 120th anniversary celebration at Greenway United Church, with the church filled to capacity. Special musical numbers were given by the Abundant Life Singers, from Sar- nia. Rev. Robert Peebles, of Exeter, a former pastor, was guest speaker, assisted by Rev. Robert Putman. His sermon topic was "The need of the hour". Rev. Putman's story to the chil- dren was on leaving fingerprints and footprints on our journey through life. Lunch refreshments were served in the Sunday School rooms after the service. Grand Bend United service was withdrawn so that those who wished could attend Greenway. Several area Shipka people also at- tended.

The Village of Hensall has many activities planned for the Week of the Child. These events are made possible by the gener- ous support of many businesses, organizations and clubs. Resi- dents (adults and children) are en- couraged to take part in these worth -while activities. As I mentioned in my last article, l will be sharing information about organizations within the school community. Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving, better known as OS - AID, is a school group made up of about 15 to 20 students of all grade levels. The group encourages designated drivers as an impor- tant part of parties and other functions where alcohol may be present. The group's main function is to get the message out to peers that it is not okay to drink and drive. They accomplish this in several ways. They fundraise to have speakers who can show and explain the effects of drunk driving. They have an information bulletin board up in the school and once a month the group sets up an infor- mation table. OSAID meets about once every other week at lunch. New mem- bers are always welcome. Listen to the announcements and attend the next meeting if you want to get involved. This group should be commended for taking action on a problem that affects us all. I'm sure any community support for this group would be appreciated. One other thing I would like the community to know about is last Wednesday at lunch the Student's Council put on a Sock Hop. Fea- tured was New Life Crisis, a band made up of students from the school. The dance was held outside because of the great weather. Although between 100 and 150 people showed up, there were no problems. Everyone had a great time. I hope the noise was not a problem for anyone. Upcoming Events: Yearbooks are in. Graduates can have a parent or friend pick them up at the school Peer Mentors to Goderich - Wednesday , Oct. 18 Greek Theatre in the Small Gymnasium - Thursday, Oct. 19, 7-9 p.m. Student's Council Pep Rally - Friday, October 20 Student's Council to Burlington for Leadership Workshop - Oct. 22-24 Concerned residents hold second meeting THEDFORD - The recently formed ON F.I.R.E. group will he holding a general meeting this Sun- day at 2 p.m. at the Community Centre in the Thedford/Bosanquet arena.

To date well over 500 area resi- dents have become members of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Equality, and memberships continue to pour in daily. Enquiries have also been received from com- munities in other parts of the Prov - ince. The ON F.I.R.E. phenomenon has caught the attention of the na- tional media as well as local media. The original meeting on October 1 was attended by over 1000 people concerned about developments in the Ipperwash area. Many newspa- per, radio, and television journalists were on hand to cover the event. In- cluded was a crew from the CBC National who are producing a spe- cial, which is scheduled to air on the Journal Tuesday, October 24.
