As the new year, ap-
proaches, so does course
selection .time, for next
year, Mr. Smith feels that
a number of 'this 'year's
tours-esi will not be
continued in the •1981-82
school Year.
Last year nine courses
werre'dropped, and three
e
coarses offered less:
credits '(zn.ost of these
wet'e in the senior
grades). As a decline in
,enrolment is expected
again next year, it is
almost inevitable that,
some courses will be
dropped.. Mr. Smith feels

ht school has classes for everyone
By Shelley McPhee
Perhaps you, have a
secret hankering to be an
artist or maybe you'd just'
like,,tp learn at little more
about proper car
maintenance.
You May think it's , a
good idea to wear off
those extra pounds you
inadvertantly put on over
the Christmas holidays,
or you may want to get a
head start on Christmas
1981 by learning how to
make some -of yourown
gifts.
"Impossible, you say,
"I just don't have the
time or the money."
Well, for a few -hours a
week and the small
charge of . $15, you could
reveal hidden talents,
discover a new hobby -and
increase your practical
knowledge at the Clinton
night school courses.
Funded by the ;Huron
County Board of
Education and offered by
Central Huron Secondary
School (CHSS), the night
school courses offer a
wide variety of op-
pportunities and programs
Thirty classes, from
..knitting tokarate, from
calligraphy to cake
decorating are offered
each week night at the
local high school and the
winter program gets
underway on January 12.
Already, .well over 300
people have taken ad-
vantage of the en-
tertaining and in-
formative courses given
and according to
organizer Mel Doherty,
another 300 people could
readily be handled."
To make any particular
course feasible to offer,
10 students are required,
but some f programs.
easily go /over that
number. Mr. Doherty
explained 'that the fall
sewing session instructed
by Mary Divok had 60
students. Other popular
courses include welding,
badminton, hunter
safety, flower arranging
and karate.
The night school is also
offering more advanced
programs . and new
classes -this term: Jim
Weary's karate classe
will. have two black belt
instructors, and some of
the new courses being
offered are archery,
gourmet cooking, men's
fitness, calligraphy,
target shooting, first aid
and yoga.
I ancefit, another new
coursethat will be of-
fered, has already
received a great mount
of `` tipport and i 'erest
and over 25 women have
registered to take the
exercise and dance
sessions. will be listed in the next .
The classes, which run
on an average of 10
weeks, attract people of
all ages, interests and
lifestyles. Mr. Doherty
said that Brian Burton's
guitar classes had
students ranging in ages
front 11 to 64 -years -old.
Another course, car
maintenance has been
studied by Many women,
who are interested in
learning the basics of
proper automobile care.
English as a second
• language is another
course that receives the
highest registration
numbers. The names of
those who resister for the
course show a
background of Dutch,
German, Southeast Asian
and other foreign.
heritages.
Along with developing
hobbies . and ,enhancing
talents, some courses and
purely practical like
accounting and typing
and some are aimed at
making' your home more
attractive, like elec-
tricity, furniture
refinishing ' and
upholstery.
There's 'something for
everyone at Clinton's
°fight school. Details on
all the courses, the in-
structors and what
night's they are offered
couple editions of the
News -Record. Now's the
time to sign up for any
courses, and to pre -
register call CHSS at 482-
3471.
!copped
The number varies, but
in general 10 to 12 people
must sign up for. a
presently offered course
or it will not be continued.
On the other hand, 25
people must request a
new ,course before it gets
off the ground. Even
coarses dropped in this
school year are subject to
this rule. For this reason,
Mr. Smith anticipatesno
new -curses witl-be--o
fered in 1981.
Early in the new year,
a course selection in-
formation campaign will
begin, An assembly will
kick it off. In the first few
weeks of January,
guidance staff will be
visiting most classes and
wise choices `are'
necessary to ensure that
the courses you want are
continuednext year.

Poorly maintained and
ill fitting winter
recreation equipment can
cause serious injury and
sometimes even death,
warns the Ontario Safety
.League: _-
Skis and skates musti fit
correctly and all sports,
equipment should be
carefullexamined for
damage o excess wear
before ea outing.
Watch for broken or worn
ski bindings, cracked skis
or toboggans, loose
runners on sleds or im-
properly fitted hockey
equipment.
Check ice thickness'
before skating on a frozen
pond, river or lake. Ice
should be a minimum of
seven -and -a -half inches
thick before' it is con-
sidered safe. Another
general guideline to use is
the color of the ice. When
the snow is scraped
away, the ice should be a
clear blue color.
Always wear correctly
fitted skates. Youngsters
sometimes wear skates
belonging to bigger
children and often end up
with unnecessary falls
and twisted ankles. Don't
skate by yourself and
always watch where you
are going to avoid other
skaters, obstacles and
thin ice. Don't try fancy
stuff or speed skating
unless you are an ac-
complished skater and
the ice is not crowded and
free of debris, rocks and
logs.
Whin boggananing
makes, Ore . your run is
free of obstructions such
as stumps, rocks, trees
and benches and away
from road traffic. Never
let children hook onto the
back of a • vehicle for a
._fast _ ride.: Keep enough
distance between sleds
and toboggans to avoid
collisions.
Younger children
should be supervised by
an adult when
tobogganning or skating.
A little foresight and
planning will make your
child's winter activities
healthy, fun and safe.
