Here are my personal suggestions for the discriminating `presentee' - and above all, if it is an.. expensive gift, remeanber toaedidental"ry`leave the price tag on it. FOR THE PETLOVER we have a cute little charmer called 'My. Puppy Riddles'. It is a plastic dog that sucks water from a bowl when its head is pushed in and squeezed. It also relieves itself in a special litter box, due to an ap- propriately placed spike. This `puppy' is great for people who haven't got time for the real thing and it teaches kids all about "movements" in animals. FOR THE CAMERA BUFF we suggest something for nature photography. How about a roll of colour film, a bird feeder and ten pounds of sunflower seeds. For those who prefer action shots, top it off with a full grown pet cat. FOR THE FLOWER LOVER a country sur- prise. A box of fresh farm manure and a handful of seeds is an inexpensive gift that will ' be remembered for many years to come. FOR 'THE INTELLECTUAL,, a time limit game with coloured blocks that have to be arranged in seauence or steel ring puzzles that any kid can assemble correctly in a matter of minutes but causes adults hours of frustration, is a number one priority gift selection. You might want to include a hammer or some other pounding instrument in the parcel, just in case. FOR THE EATER,, the -. selections ares limitless. Every family has a fatso and you can watch his face light up on Christmas morning when he ties into a box of chocolate covered locusts, fish eyes packed in their own juice or a pickled "pope's nose". FOR THE ART LOVER, a cheap imitation of a famous painting or statue is a must. It'll bring tears to his or her eyes when the package is opened. FOR THE CHEAPSKATE, we suggest a $25 gift certificate towards a brand new 1981 Por- sche Turbo or a similar car. If $25 is too much to spend on the `piker', find 24 others to go in on it with you. FOR THE HANDYMAN in the family, what would be appreciated most would be a First Aid Kit. If none of these gift suggestions please your fancy there is always a year's subscription to the Bayfield . Bugle available through the Clinton News -Record. And now for niy own list. Dear Santa Claus: I am expecting you and I have been extra good for the past week or so. I want a new bottle opener, a case of Buckeye, color TV for the bedroom, money lin large denominations, Blondie, 6,000 inches of nevi's. for 1981, a bigger desk, a new truck, Blondie, the mortgage paid off, a winning lottery ticket, Blondie and an office at the Clinton News -Record. We'll discuss it over an ale on Christmas Eye. Your friend, • Pre-schoolers peddle pastries r A very successful bake sale was held by the Bayfield Co-operative pre-school plpy group on Saturday, November 30, to raise money to enable the school to continue without further payment of fees.

Special thanks goes to Wendy Crittenden and Vera Turner for donating.. the fabulous `graham cracker house', and congratulations to Lorraine Fisher who won it.

What about the right to a fair trial?" Other demonstrators were; equally concerned about the social aspects. The wife of one of the deportees described how she was now left to fend for herself and her children with winter fast approaching. "What sort of Christ- mas will it be for my children?" she asked pathetically, tears standing in her beautiful black eyes. "What can I tell them? This will be the saddest Christmas we have ever known and worse than anything is not knowing where their father has gone and if he willever return." One of the more politically .minded demonstrators was not anxious to be in- terviewed. All he would say was that steps were being takenon behalf of the squirrel population to assert their rights, but for the time being the policies being formulated were the concern of those involved.
