(By Briane-D.--McLeap)
The football season is almost
over with just two more games to
play' in the schedule. Goderich
must win both games (one against
Scaforth and one against Clinton)
'to, stand a chance in the finals,
since GI)Cl was defeated in the
game against Wingham last week,
26-7, Keep trying, boys, we're be-
hind you, 100%!
As, the school year progresses,
we find ourselves looking towards
Commencement and the present-
ation of diplomas and awards. The
lists have been posted on the bul
lain ',board, and Commencement,
will follow early in November.
A unique contest is being held
in the school for, the 'next . two'
weeks. It's a posture contest. The
rtud`bnts who show the best posture
will become the Posture King and
Posture Queen, and the object is
to generally improve the posture
of the school body.
On Saturday' the G.A.A. will
sponsor a dance ' at 'the school
which will feature the 'C.K.S.L.
radio- station D.J. "Dicky -deo" Mc-
Farland. 'It should be a great
dance and a huge success.

This„he he took to a Goderich 'pan
on Tuesday of last week and ,was
told there was .no work. After say
ing to the Goderich man "Thank
you, very ranch," he ' went on his
way dejectedly looking elsewhere
for work, It is ;not known how
many places 'in Goderich he tried
to get work using the note with
th'e message dn it which-ihe carried
in his hand. Some time later,
obviously, he headed back to. the
Sin -woe area.
A fellow Hungarian in Goderich,
who prefers to remain unidentified,
'says that others who knew Takacs
better claimed he did not have a
very good record back iz} his native
land' and was in jails on numerous
occasions, whether it was for. politic
cal reasons or otherwise was not
definitely known.
The murdered ,stepson was
,buried at Courtland, Ontario, on
Monday following""a''service at St.
Ladislas Hungarian Catholic
Church. The handsome and bright
youngster was buried in. a new
jacket, shirt and tie bought by his
mother with the last few dollars
which she. owned.
The slaying took place only a
few hours after Joey left Houghton
Central School with a man he greet-
ed with hugs and kisses and who
identified himself to Principal
David Nelles as Joey's guardian.
The grief-strioken. mother said
she and her son assumed Takacs'
name after they fled Hungary with
him, in 1956. They .lived together
as a family in England and came
to Canada in 1957,
Takacs left the house. at Fair
Ground on Sunday, (Oct. 12) and
didn't return. Mrs. Takacs moved
to the new home at King Lake,
four miles ,distant, Tuesday night
• (Oct. 14).
"Joey went to school Thursday
(Oct. 17),'. she--explained--'-throu.gh---.--
an interpreter, "but he didn't come
home,"
She and a boarder, 21:year-old
Joseph Kovacs, went to the Fair
Ground: house Thursday night and
found Joey's body lying in a pool
of blood.
When they left the school, it
was shortly after 1`0 a.m. Mrs.`
Breit, a -neighbor, said she saw
them walking past her house, locat-
ed between ' the schoor and the
vacant,house, at ,1.30 p.m.
"They never lifted their eyes off
the road,' she said. • Whenever she
had, soen Takacs before, he usually
had a greeting and so did the boy
"hut they didn't say a word this
time; not a thing'."
She watched thrum . enter the
vacant house, "I d!'ln't see them
after that, Mrs. Breit added.
