Bayfield men
Two save Mississauga
According to Keith Pruss, a
Bayfield summer resident, "More
than half of Mississauga would
have gone up," if it hadn't been for
the courageous efforts of his son-hi--
law
on-in-'law Larry Krupa.
The 27 -year-old Krupa, also well-
known in this area, has become the
modest hero of the November 10
Mississauga train disaster when 14
cars carrying highly explosive and
poisonous chemicals. derailed.
Engineer Pruss, \ 51, watched -
Krupa race. into "the great ball of
fire" ' as an explosion that was
heard. 30 miles away, rocked
Mississauga.
A story in the November 26 issue
of Maclean'smagazine told how
Krupa ran alongside the tracks
until he came to the 32nd car where
the train had derailed. Despite the
intense heat and the explosion of
another two cars, Krupa managed
to uncouple the remaining
dangerous cars.
Later, the quiet man remarked,
"It was warm. I wanted to save
what I could."
Pruss told Maclean's, "He
wasn't hurt thank God, put I'll tell
pu - I'm his father-in-law and I
{tet'.'wouldn't have done that, He's the
boy who deserves the credit."
• Remembering the night, Pruss
- said, "It was like a small
Hiroshima. It was just like a
flaming hell back there, I had
visions of all those homes being
engulfed."
Pruss also helped by preventing
several more cars filled with
propane from exploding. In the
engine cab. Pruss \ was com-
municating with a CP Rail
dispatcher who told him to get the
\train out of the area. When the
fourth. car exploded, Pruss moved
the front portion of the train with
all the speed he could, to
booksville, one -and -a -half miles
away.
In the Maclean's interview he
said, "I figured all the people
waiting at the crossings were
burned to, death. I was told to get
the -hell out of there and run, and
I'd have run anyway."
Later when Pruss found that no.
one had been killed he remarked,
"It was a miracle and I thank God
for that."
Despite the horror of the
derailment, Pruss was back
--driving a train similar to the one
that derailed in Mississauga the
next night, but by a different route:
"Th x 4b " 41,049,..1-,„(1

time. It's kind of like riding a bike.
You get back on and ride again, or
you won't do it."
Murphy honored
James Murphy, former
artistic director and
founder of the Huron
Country Playhouse, has
left the playhouse after.
eight seasons with the
theatre.
Mr. Murphy said he
hopes to freelance as a
director in the future and
enjoy theatre without the
burdens of ad-
ministration.
The former artistic
director and his wife
Barbara were honored at
a meeting of the board of
directors :for the
playhouse at the Dash-
wood Community Centre
recently.
Mr. Murphy and his
wife were presented with
a painting titled "The
Prisoner" by London
artist Gilbert Moll,
depicting a pigeon tied to
a brick. Board member
Jill Waters : said the
painting symbolized the
way Mr. Murphy has
been imprisoned by the
playhouse. _
Len Evans of Sarnia,
immediate past chair-
man of the board, said,
"We've seen James grow
frorri a gay -blades
bachelor to a serious
father. When he married
Barbara, they became a

grown to include Nevin

Mr. Evans said the board
was sorry to see Mr.
Murphy leave.
The -new artistic
director, Aileen Taylor -
Smith and the theatre's
general manager, Marc
Quinn, presented a
number of ideas to the
board for the 1980 season.
Ms.. Taylor -Smith said
she would like to see the
opening nights moved to
Thursday nights with the
preview performances
Tuesday and Wednesday
• afternoons and nights.
This would enable the
actors to try the play
before an audience prior
to opening night.

was sitting peacefully by
himself until suddenly he
was surrounded by
thirteen cats. •
• "Hey, Frosty!" said a
cat, "you're going to have
to eat your wayoufoi' our
circle !'" .
Why should I?"
enquired Frosty,
"Kangaroos don't eat
cats."
Why not? It's better
than the Grey Cup."
After a moment's
pause, Frosty decided to
eat the cats, but one
dilemma remained,
"Which one of you shall I
eat first?" said Frosty.
"It's not a question of
which one of us you'll eat
first, but of which one
you'll eat last."
"What do you mean?"
"As you go around the
circle of cats, you have to
eat each thirteenth cat.
The last one you eat must
be Rover over there. He's
the only cat with white
fur. Bon appetit Frosty!"
Naturally, this was one
of Frosty's nightmares
and soon he woke up. Out
of curiosity, Frosty drew

Workprograrn on
Forty grade ten special
education students are\
now beginning a work
experience program
designed to give students
experience in jobs which
they aren't familiar with.
These "jobs" take
place during school
hours. Because they are
designed primarily to
provide experience,
students are not officially
paid. However, students
often receive some
payment "under the
counter."
Many of the female
students are employed at
Huronview and .IGA,
Group formed to
while ma,.ny male
students are employed at
Hearn Wholesale. They
are covered by school
board insurance.
Sometimes the students
are so successful in their.
jobs, that they stay on
with these employers
after the initial two week
period. Each employer
sends a report back to the
school on the students he
has employed.
This ,work experience
program is in it's six-
t:enth year at CHSS. It
takes place for two weeks
in the fall and two weeks
during the spring.
manage student's lounge
On Tuesday November
27th, several grade 12 and
13 'stud'ents
came
together to .organize a
student lounge com-
mittee.
This committee plans
to take responsibility for
the student . lounge.
Tentative plans include
renting a vending
machine for the lounge
and establishing a "code
of order" for the lounge.
The committee also
plans to approach
student's council for
money to purchase
second hand furniture.
Because the students
have been granted
responsibility in. , the
lounge, the committee
has to ensure that the
lounge is kept relatively
clean and tidy.
Any students who have
ideas concerning the
lounge are invited to join
the lounge committee.
