Jean Scott speaks - to Brownies BY JOANNE WALTERS On-Akevealb.er-23-tI e R nger meeting consisted of business and a guest speaker. During the business part of our meeting, the Ranger Implementation Day which was held last Saturday, in Mt. Forest was discussed. A new Ranger technique called IrS.P.P,E. was applied to, one of our projects at this Implementation day. The letters .stand for Investigate; Select, Plan, .Participate • and Evalt�te. It is an especially good thnique to apply to, money raising projects. On the topic of money raising projects, „ ,-ral new ones were brought orth. Some of them were: a coat hanger collection, a car wash, an apple festival and a pop' bottle • ",,,',' drive. Our guest speaker was Jean Scott who works as a nurse at the Goderich • Psychiatric Hospital. She spoke on , the normal adolescent and we found her not only' interesting but helpful. Afterwards, hot a• 0 4 1 chocolate was served.

In°making the presentation Commiss pn Chairman Gerald Whaley voiced the sentiments of the Commission that Mr. McKee has been a loyal and conscientious employee while contributing ,to the 'improvement of Goderich's water supply. Upon completion of a long stint in the Royal Canadian Navy, Mr. McKee joined the staff of the harbour waterworks plant in 1946 remaining there until transferring to the Ontario Water Resources Commission Plant which commenced operation in 1962. - staff photo -� Auburn and BY MRS.

In every parade or Hallowe'en Party, the best part of ,the whole thing is getting ready for it. One group of young marrieds decided to bring back the "Old days in Saltford". About seven or eih' couples had a great time getting it . 'together. They were so enthusiastic about the whole thing - just an entry -- that winning a prize has thrown them for 'a loop. "What do we do Ill O W?" Well, you ' can depend bn them , to come up with something good to get people .out for an old fashioned, fun night every so often -and' I just • know this is going to be 'another step up the ladder in putting Saltford. --back ' on - the map.. For several years now I have been,' telling people that Saltford wasn't dead`- only catching- up on a much needed rest. Saltford is definitely showing a come back. That little spot is blooming with new homes,- older homes, all • diddled up and a general air of well , being „ beginning"._..to_show glad.. Good going, folks - and let me know when you .plan your first card party or whatever. Everyone enjoyed the bands - and we do apiareciate the fact that most of- them had some distance to travel. The little majorettes or.. Cindy's Highsteppers all the.way from Owen Sound •-- weren' they just GREAT? And that tin} one who had to be carried the last few yards - wasn't she center `.`Cindy", deserves a lot of credit and a big ,vote of thanks for such a great group. Just think what they will be like 5 or ° 10 years from now - TERRIFIC! How is it no orie has a baton Cwirling group in Goderich? •We have the .makings - are we short of a teacher with the patience of Job and the stamina to "raise such a roup? We Were happy to see the Bluewater- Shriners put in appearance. They are an asset to any parade and everyone knows' the wonderful Work they do and,w, like to see them so that they can say a quiet "Thank you." (Our` old Fire Truck ;looked grPat). ' This is one thing that was 'mentioned -- people just didn't clap ,for outstanding efforts or for representatives of groups who just put in an appearance. It gave the feeling' of "Well, what' comes next - something must :.be better than THAT!" But how -- do you , educate people or, crowds - One or two feel silly clapping for something they realize is good so they just keep silent. Perhaps if they had been brave enough to start others would have joined thein. It was too bad there were not more prizes for_ the individual efforts. The ' girls with their ponies deserved their prizes but it -left nothing for the walking people and 1 thought the Angel - little Mary Clairmont - was a nice touch. The Beta Sigma Phi girls were crowd pleasers - and a ' big "Thank you" to them" Syd Lawson just cao'- doi'ng . something . for a paradit wand ended up by decorating that" eute little white ear.
