Clinton News-Record, 1979-03-15, Page 14PAGE 14—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1979 Tight budget for Christian School Inflation and rising costs have hit everybody, but the Clinton and District Christian School parents have been doubly hit. Not only are they paying increased tax dollars to support the public school system, but they are also faced with the possibility of paying higher tuition to send their children to the private Christian School in Clinton. That was the essence of a preliminary report to the School Society at their semi-annual meeting last week (March 5) in Blyth, when treasurer Evert Ridder presented a first draft of the budget for the coming fiscal year of 1979 - 1980. It estimated total costs to run the school may hit $194,500, up $8,000 from last year. Some suggestions for ways and means to lower the budget were made and will be examined by the board before the next meeting. For the 84 families from Clinton,, Goderich, Blyth, Seaforth and Exeter who support the school and its 207 pupils, running their own school is doubly expensive, as they must pay tuition for their children, as well as pay school tax, 'but receive no assistance from 'the provincial government in the form of grants, as the public and separate school systems do. Principal Ralph Schuurman gave a report on school activities, saying that Friday morning skating at the Clinton arena is over for another year and the ice time was much ap- preciated by the students. The hot lunches served after the skating were also enjoyed. Mr. Schuurman said the latest extra- curricular activity un- dertaken is the formation of a school choir under the capable direction of Mrs. Mary Hearn. The 45 member choir sang at the Christmas program and on February 27 gave a concert at Huronview, and are now busily preparing for a spring concert. One of the school's professional development days was spent looking for suitable songs and the possibility of compiling a song book for the school is being considered. Also a first this year, was participation by four students in the Legion public speaking contest. Ingrid Schuurman, Ruth Ann Dykstra, Kathy de Boer and Allan Rooseboom competed, and although they didn't place. in their categories, valuable experience was gained, said Mr. Schuurman. Dorothy Prinzen, the Grade 1 teacher, gave a short talk on the special children in schools ; those with learning disabilities. Much has been learned about effective ways to teach these children and now that they are diagnosed at an earlier age and usually kept in the cldssroom where the stigma of retardation is not attached to them. A report was, also given by John Benjamins on the work of the education committee, who, along with the 'teaching staff, are busy making a school handbook that will hopefully be ready sometime in the near future. The book, which will be available to all members and suporters, will have guidelines and in- formation on many aspects of the school. Members of the education committee have also visited all classrooms during school hours and reported their findings and suggestions ' to the board. Rev. W. Ludwig, pastor of the newly, formed Goderich Christian Reformed Church, closed the meeting with prayer. Brucefield UCW plan bake and plant sale The International Year of the Child was the theme taken by the Brucefield UCW Sunshine Girls when they met on February 28 at the home of Mrs. Anne Marie McMullen.

Debbie Burdge led in the closing and then the ladies learned how to quilt, a hilarious ex- perience for beginners, but enjoyed by all. Remember to drop in and quilt a few stitches whenever you have the time. The ladies were reminded to save their Zehr's cash register tapes and turn them in at each meeting.

Phone 482-3536 OPEN SATURDAYS • APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE in a time when marriage and divorce seem to be the trend, such couples as George and Irene Glazier are to be complimented. The Glaziers, from Maple Street in Clint4n,recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. (News - Record photo) George and Irene Glazier 50 years and still counting by Shelley McPhee They had broken up for a number of •years, after dating since the age of 14, but within a few months of their reunion the News - Record of March, 1929 read: "A very quiet wedding took place in the Ontario Street United Church parsonage on Tuesday afternoon, March 5th, when the Rev. A.E. Doan united in marriage, Elva Irene, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gliddon and George L. Glazier, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Glazier, all of Clinton. "The bride looked very charming in a dress of lavender georgette, richly embroidered with beads and sequins, over this she wore a coat of maroon glace with a deep collar and cuffs of fox fur, with hat, gloves, hose and shoes to match. "Mr. and Mrs. Glazier will reside on the -groom's farm on the Huron Road." That was 50 years ago. Irene's wedding en- semble now lays packed away in a long forgotten box. Some deaths have taken place since then and the 'Glaziers no longer live on the farm. Yet one thing remains the same, the couple is still married. Although Irene now says that her wedding dress, bought in the United States, is pretty seedy, she can't say the same about her five decade marriage. "As long as you know the other one cares, you can go through a lot together," she philosphized on her successful union. "You have to take the ups and downs and stick together through thick and thin," she added. Although the ' Glaziers" live comfortably in their Maple Street home and are able to enjoy trips thoughout North America, life hasn't always been easy for the couple. Being married at the start of the depression did not make life easy for the newlyweds. They went to George's parents' farm, on concessitn 1 in •Hullett Township to live and work. "There wasn't much money, but there was food to eat," Irene remembered. The Glaziers honeymooned in Niagara Falls later in the spring of 1929 before settling down to become a family. Their daughter Dorene was born in 1930. The Glaziers gave up farming 25 years ago when they moved to Clinton. George went on to work at the Clinton Armed Forces Base as a canteen stewart and a janitor. Although retired, George enjoys gardening, carpentry and hest of all, travelling. "Prot Ly near any place the bus goe,,, we're on it," he laughed. "Even on the farm we'd jump iri the truck and go away. We'd get someone in to help," he remembered. "Someday we may not be able to travel," Irene explained as the reason why they take many trips. , By b,elditiging to the Golden Radars Senior Citizens dlub , and the Clintbnians, the Glaziers know of all the tours available through the groups. When not travelling or working on needlepoint, Irene says her favorite hobby, is her great grandchildren. She has three of them, as well as two grandchildren and her daughter, and son-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Walt Jervis. The Glaziers 'family and friends treated the couple to a special dinner for their' golden an- niversary. The Glaziers both agreed after reflecting the past 50 years that if they had the chance they would live their lives exactly the same as done in the past. Smile Marriage is like twirling a baton, doing cartwheels, or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

The Lord Jesus sold that the gate that leads to destruc- tion 1s wide and the road Is broad and that many people enter that gate and travel that road. It is not necessary for anyone to travel the road that leads to destruction --,to make a failure out of his life, for Jesus also said, "Enter through the narrow gate—that leads to life." He also said, "few find it." The Bible clearly teaches that the secret of success in life is first of all to confess our sins and our failures and to turn to God for cleansing from sin and for spiritual life in Christ. This is not a popular path, but it is a wise one. The Scriptures are able to make us wise. True wisdom Is to abandon our own ideas about life, or sin or God, or truth, and to trust implicitly what God says. Jesus sold, "1 am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6.
