Round and About
With
Martha
News from
Colborne
Central
Monday we had an excellent
turn-out;cif people interested in
the Santa Parade. 'I, was
pleasantly surprised since it was
such a miserable night and most
of the groups had been
contactedfor a "Yes" or "No"
regarding a float. It turned up
some new "Yesses" - how's that
for a new word - and some new
ideas. Best of all it turned up
some wonderful enthusiasm and
the chit-chat started to fly about
very freely.
We now, have a fine line-up of
floats WITH titles or names. All
of them are going to take some
real planning and work - and
best of all -- a lot of enjoyment.
We' left the meeting feeling that
there are no real problems to
creating a float when there are
so many people who can and
will help you if you need it.
Just call Paul Carroll, Mrs. H.
Blue or Martha).
Doug . Cruickshank and his
committee have the route
mapped out and will he ready to
• get.. you into line and on your
' way for, the starting gun at 1
o'clock on a fine - we hope -
Saturday Dec. 13.
The schools are all hard at
work - I am told they have
started anyway = and there,we
have some real float -makers
getting some first hand
experience. This is something
the teachers had not planned on
when they made up their time
tables and work periods last fall.
Some of them are going to be
real busy but they realize it is a
great experience for these
youngsters and they should have
all the encouragement and help
they can give them. I hope the
parents will lend a hand where.;,
necessary as most of this work is
too much for the teachers alone
° - oh, .they haven't SAID it was
too much for them - but I
know .what it can entail and in
. classes of small people the real
work usually falls on the teacher
- so give them a helping hand if
they need one.
I was very surprised and
happy to hear that a cub group
from out of town are entering a
float. How about THAT? I
haven't heard' from our District
Groups who made such an
excellent showing Centennial
year.
I think • Benmi<iler with their
`Jolly ..1Villers! and fun loving
people should show' Goderich
they are still in there pitching --
and will you ever forget the
wonderful float's„that turned out
at Holmesville that rainy day in
'67 and surprised and thrilled
the hundreds who knew that
"weather never held, up a farmer
when he wanted to do
Something?”
A lot df the merchants have
decided they; are "too busy" to
actively participate in something
that, tho' meant for the
enjoyment of the children, is
actually just putting motley in.
their pockets - the merchants
pockets that is, One or two
date have come forward with
a donation toward the large
expense ;ofd Such parades, but
many of them will not. even say
"'hank you" to the few people
who are willing to spend their
time amt energy to give this
town a decent Santa 'Parade...
We have at least ONI of the
>l t 'entered by a grout of
people because they
•
one of the parades.
A little later on we will tell
you who are having floats or are
contributing in SOME • way
towards . the success of this
parade.
I think the word :"FLOAT"
usually conjures -up a huge truck
with' hours of work and quite a
bit of money "floating" on it.
These we need of course, but •
there are always lots of small
entries that could be dreamed up
which would advertise your
business without requiring a
great deal' of your time. So far,
we haven't very many of this
type - so go ahead and dream.
What did you think of the
photo 'of our Goderich Harbour
- or mouth of the river that was
shown last week. Did you really
look. at it - or better still - did
you go down there and see
where the sand bar has closed
off the flow of the Maitland?
This scares me! Two years ago
when the `Flats' were flooded
and the ice rose to the road -bed
-of the bridge, it was a pretty
'awesorrle sight. This year, I'm
sure, the damage will be much
higher and if the'mine is not in
trouble the ice will probably
take out the piers again.
1 remember we were -really.
upset and could scarcely believe
it possible that ice could do so
much damage. It is a little late to
start screaming for help since
that sand bar has been building
up for a long time - but I think
we'd better start screaming, and
perhaps the federal departments
concerned _ will ,move a little
faster. (I'm a dreamer!)
Just because Shirley Keller is
our Ladies' editor now, doesn't
mean you can't call me about
your events. • You have two
people interested ' in your
projects and we're happy to hear
from you.
Get your theatre tickets and
enjoy the play this week
Friday and Saturday.
The C.W.L. Christmas Fair is
next Saturday so we will hear
from you.

vice president, qaren McPhee;
secretary, Debbie Turner and
treasurer, Judy Robertson.
Class representatives are as
follows: Gr. 8, Shawn Whaler;
Gr. 7, Debbie Crane; Gr. 6,
Leonard Kolkman and Gr. 5,
Brenda Procter.
Some of the activities carried
out by the council include The
Hallowe'en Dance, Oct. 24. This
dance was well attended and
$44.20 was raised of which
$22.10 was donated to UNICEF.
We would like to thank Mr.
Harman for his help with the
dance.
A Remembrance Day service
was held on November 10.
Guests included Rev. L. Royal,
Mac MacDonald, Sandy Profit
and Dave McMillan. These
gentlemen brought the real
meaning of Remembrance Day
home to *the students.
Some interesting slides and
talks have been presented 'at our
school. Dr. Mowatt from Clinton
presented many interesting
aspects of life yin China. The
students should know
considerably more about this
country.
Rev. McClenaghan showed
slides and spoke about his
experience as pastor on •an
Indian Reserve. The students
learned about many of their
problems- and now clearly
understand their reason for
protest.
The Junior grades participated
in a Hallowe'en Assembly. Each'
presented musical numbers,
stories and poems. , 'l'he
afternoon saw a huge parade of
costumed pupils from the junior
wing touring the senior wing.
We are looking forward to the
Christmas concert which we
have "planned for December 17.
