Gary and Heather have worked long and hard preparing the greetings of mer- chants and servicers - be • sure and read these ads they were carefully chcisen by those placing them. Jim and Shelley have been shutterbugging all over town - in fact, Tuesday we thought Shelley would be meeting herself going out the door as she rushed to cover as many school concerts as possible. Freda has been writing her arm off to make sure all those gift cards go out for the many subscriptio s, which are sent a,s pr- s. Howe m r our staff - weare ate to have three days holiday next week. Let's have a word of appreciation for all who Will' be spending Christmas Day at work, the doctors and nurses on call or on duty, police and volunteer firemen, telephone operators and others. We wish to say a special. thank -you to Rev. Broadfoot and Father Hardy fir re -informing us on their ads which were temporarily misplaced. The whole effort goes to the press today - and along with the print and pictures go our combined wishes for a happy last Christmas of the 70's. In wishing to convey a thought on Christmas I Couldn't have come up with anything to touch the following which came to my desk yesterday: "With so much em- phasis being placed on WISHES A HAPPY BIRTHDAY On To Jackie Slotegraaf Clinton.

Evidence of this has been recently portrayed by the. residents of the 16th and Maitland Concessions of Goderich Township when thW-combined to harvest a neighbor's bean ' and torn crop, then com- pleted the fall plowing of these same acres. A farmer is no stranger to the numerous 'chores' which have to be wound up before winter sets in and, along with these kind folks, several friends from putside the immediate neighborhood labored on the weekends to complete them. The grateful beneficiary of all these good deeds is Terry Pearson of RR 2, Clinton, who was critically in- jured on August 17, 1979 in a train -truck crash. May these unselfish people be rewarded in some way for the donation of time and labor to help a fellowman anFl may that same 'spirit' continue throughout their lives.” + Country Guide, as most people in the agricultural business know, is a national magazine with readers from coast to coast. So it's an honor for Clinton to have one of its well-known area residents, Mrs. Florence Pullen, make the pages. The article entitled -Extra Care Brings Bonus Lambs" was written by Marg Jonas and covers a symposium lecture which Florence delivered- at the University of Guelph. Marian Doucette is well-known in this area for her work with pup- pets. Her efforts in this field were well rewarded when she was one of 15 persons , from eastern Canada and north eastern U.S.A. accepted into the Frog Primp Theatre, Toronto for an • intensive training workshop in puppetry. Among the 15 were 5 from Connecticut, one from Sudbury, one from New York and others from Ontario. Many will be interested to learn that the one from New York, who was also Marian's partner for the workshop, was Stephen Long of Jim HensOn's Besides Iler work as a Library Technician with the Huron County Library in Goderich, Marian has al,sq 'just completed a series of puppet shows with Mrs: Theresa Wilson of Clinton° who --is • Children's Librarian. for f Huron County. Together they presented puppet shows . in myth; Brussels, Exeter, .Goderich, Hensall, Kitkton, Seaforth and Zurich. +++ The I.O.D.E.

Place for Kids© Forty mernbers Or the staff Qf Lavis Con,tracting Company and their wives gathered at the Huron, Fish and Game for their annual Christmas party on Decem ber 16. With another deadline facing* Town Talk tomorrow for the December 27 issue - it's almost too much for this befuddled mind to grasp. So we shall probably be filling up the space with the long promised recipes which were omitted from the original cook book published earlier this year. Cannot sign off without wishing one and all "the very best" for Christmas and the coming year and decade from the folk at the Little House on the Bayfield Prairie,Bert, Peggy, Geoff (London) and Ian. FSEAVERS SCOUTS NEWS...by Mary Freeman • - CUB • BEAVERS: The Beavers had their first Christmas tree decorating party. Wednesday night.

A word that describes an action is called an 'adverb'. The word 'slowly ' is an adverb-Fecause it describes how a person walks or talks. Nobody loses or wins in this game. How to play: 1. One person leaves .the room for a few minutes. 2. The people in the room think up an adverb. 3. The person who has left the room comes hack in and asks questions about anything at all. 4. The other people answer the questions and talk in the manner of the adverb. 5. The person who has left the room tries to guess what the adverb is. Sometimes this takes a very short time,, and sometimes it takes about five minutes. • Example: The person who has been picked to leave the room is you. While you are out, the people in the room think up the adverb 'sadly'. But you don't know that because you weren't there. When you come back into the room you have to (Suess what the adverb they chose is. You ask a person any question you want. such as "What do you •think of flowers?" That person will answer you in the saddest way possible, and may even pretend to cry. It won't take long to guess the word "sadly". Slime adverbs that ate fun.to act out and guess are; crazily. angrily. shyly, dreamily, laughingly, and quickly. You can use any adverb you like.
