to .Male it good. ` With' special ,,effects in this
film, but once the people
in Hollywood get the idea
to make a bad film, th
go all out. The. sL,
special
effects in this film were
worse than those of "The
Black: Hole". If you
watched closely you
could see the background
move around. At one
point a person fell off la
bridge, precariously
dangling over a river of
lava (which looked like
strawberry jam wit gas)
and, as he fell, he fell in
slow motion. There was
also ,a scene where a
fireball hit a hotel, and
the resulting explosion
pulsed like something
moving in stop -action.
"When Time Ran
Out..." is like a collage of
scenes from other in-
sutck .. stars lis k'x ul

should be -a- big hit. The
chances of this, however,
are~ ivery slim. Stars and
scenery -do not a movie
make. What I found to be
extensively non-existent

reasonable facsimile.

I have always found

"Tidal Wave", and
countless ether suspense -

In conclusion, this• film • t,

movie should be "When

the only disaster film that
went all the way and

If you are going to the

recommend.

Last week, our worker
digs a 120 m -trench, but
dug it at a rate of 15
metres per hour instead
of 30. If the worker dug at
30 metres per houras he
was told, then the 120
metre trench would be
dug in four hours. At 15 •
metres per hour, 60
metres would be dug, in
four hours, leaving rio.'
time to dig the other 60
metres. No time for 60 .
metres means that our
trench digger is fired, as
one cannot dig that fast.

when she was greeted by
aliens of 13B, I should
mention that it only took
Mr. D some 15 minutes to
acknowledge the ex-
change.
To make matters
worse, the terrible 13s
persisted to wear their
hats in class. There were
many varieties(of hats
that is) including a cute
feathered number that
L.N. 13B offered to ' Mr.
M. (His. 550) ±o erase his

seems Mr. M. lost his

desks were rearranged to
offer a more interesting
view rather than Mr. M.
himself. While searching.
for his "midlaid" ar-
ticles,. Mr. M. allowed
P.C. (13A) to lead the
•class in a rowsing chorus
of "It's Howdy _Doody
Time". All ,the members
of His. 550 would like to
extend their appreciation
to the phantoms who
allowed for Mr. M's
dilemma.
Moving along, Miss.
Senn was 'serenaded with
a loud, but joyous chorus
of "Book Dropping". She
was overcome with ap-
preciation!
To wrap up the day,
members of Calculus 550
were last seen, enjoying a
-class held on the landing
of the stairs between
second' and third floor.
Modest Mr. P. refuses to
credit himself with the
brilliant idea to create a
subtle change of scenery
for his hard woi"king 13s.
First came the Six
Million Dollar Man. Now
comes the $20 pencil case
of B.M. (14B). Nobody
ever did get a chance to
weld it, did they? I also
hear he has a Grade 9 fan

Vandalism study

GODERICH - A com-
mittee has been formed
to study vandalism in

Goderich Police Chief

members that the,highest
number of vandalism
incidents is done to
vehicles, at 32.& pee cent
of the total number.
Second is businesses at
14.4 per cent.

We at the R.U.C. have a great responsibility. As your custodians we must be at your service 24
hours day seven days a week. When you flick a switch it's our job to see that the lights come on. �
This, of course, means that we must keep your equipment in. Al condition and thoroughly up to date to
s make sure we can meet the demands you may make on us.
That is the problem we face. We find' eachyear that added amounts we pay for labor, for tran-
sportation, for equipment and supplies are a little bigger. So far by the strictest economy and careful
management we have found it possible to operate within our existing revenue despite increasing
casts.
Now Ontario Hydro has raised the cosf of the power we buy from them by 16.4 percent. There no
longer is any alternative. We must go to you, the consumer, to offset this increase in hydro cost. The
P.U.C. has absorbed the cost of power increase January 1, 1980 to April 1, 1980.
Rates, in terms of the service electricity provides you, will still be low. However, commencing
April 1, 1980 next billings will show an average increase of 13.4 percent to reflect the increase in the_
cost of the power we buy. New Retail Rates are effective with all bills issued on and after April 1,
1980.' ,
