ROUND AND ABOUT WITH MARTHA
Tuesday - a lot of excited
kids meeting their new teacher
or welcoming back their old
one I shouldn't say OLD
because most of the teachers
are quite young - but.as I look
back to my own school days'the
teacher was ALWAYS OLD!
Makes sense for a kid •doesn't
it?' •
There..was only one who puz-
zled me and that was our little,
French teacher. She wasn't
Much bigger than I end she
looked very . young with her
mass of curly -hair standing out
in every direction - much like
many of the young folk today.
At that time•I realized it was so
curly she couldn't keep it corn -
bed down but I wander now if
the adults in our village .called
her a "hippie" or similar name
- because of it.
She was a nice little person
and I loved the way she
pronounced so many of our
English, words ,for example
where' we had been saying
"bow-kay" for bouquet, she.
taught us to say 'boo-kay'. I
think J. have forgotteh all the
good things she tried: to teach
us because r my language is
atrocious, but I' still think of
her with affection. -
There are many teachers who
stand out in the minds of •
youngsters - .and I. often ask
kids about their favourite'
teachers.
There are several who have
..taught public school here who
are 'favorites.' One especially is
Mrs. Cory. Emily Cory - soft
spoken, kindly and always
thoughtful of everyone, is tops
a' • for the last 10 or 15 years.
I won't go further. into this
line of thought just now -
perhaps some of you have
thoughts of your own along this
line let me know. •
It all brings me back to
THINK'ING and GOOD
CITIZENSHIP which to my
mind, •go hand in hand ' - you
can't have one without the'
other. •
As I• said in one other of .my
letters' - Good Citizenship is a
personal thing. You reach out
to others with an open hand, an
open mind AND an openeheart.
,Good citizenship calls((lfor ac-
tion and involvement - no :kit-
. ting back and criticizing. It
takes a lot M understanding
herefore - THINKING, = to
foster -good co-operation bet-
ween men and women.
• Then, too, a good citizen will
check, on things, get infor-
mation and' KNOW what he is
talking about before he starts.
criticising 'others. •THEN', he
will fight for what he.believes is
RIGHT.
. He builds his future on ttie,.
quality of his thought;- and
recognizes that big thinking
precedes every big achievement.
• To get the most 'out of life
one should take time to live as
well as make a living, 'y
Time out' for Music,, but we
need a good hall before we Can
invite these fine musicians
,here.
Time out for friendships - our
'senior citizens are not the only
• _ ones who could use better
facilities for their meeting place
- the "nearly seniors" . should
be considered.. Then too the
younger folk like young
marrieds and up could use a
place where they may learn the
arts and crafts, or play squash
or tennis . in the winter - and
other recreation.
Time out for children - have
you seen the figure skating •club;
struggling on a hockey ice. area
where a smaller sheet would be
just .great" The little really ii t- .
tle hockey potentials struggle
from one and of the huge
hockey ice surface to the other
to fall flat°on their faces or
other- when . 'they get there
because they had to ;use
their .energy in just skating.•
41) extra sheet of lee' would
free the big surface for minor
Hockey Power skating besides
helping the Figure Skating
Club with their power skating
exercises. This ice sheet would
answer the problem for public
skating, too.
Time out for filling the heart
with mirth and laughter
besides having a few places
around; -town -for parties and
dances - a good place is needed
for the Art of ' Theatre.
Little old MacKay Hallhas
long since worn" out its
usefulness in this area. A town
that is moving, forward - not
backwards needs ;a place for
the art of music and theatre.
Perhaps there are only six or
sever hundred theatre member
ships at this time - but there
would be a lot more if we had
',.the facilities backstage as well
as out front. '
We are told to "Relax, han-
dle your problems with a light
touch and, use laughter as a
safety valve'' . R -R -RIGHT...
'To laugh , at yourself helps &,
your troubles, .tofade out of
focus so you can. .see t e
WHOI •E problem, now it" is
much easier to resolve. ••
He who THINK - creates
ideas with humility.
He who laughs last ... lasts!
Love,
Martha

Enumeration underway
GODFRICH SIGNAlf *STAR, THURSDAY, $i PTEMBER 4
Municipal elections set for
Provincial enumerators will
visit; all households in Ontario
during, September tp conduct
the annual rnuniCipal
enumeration, Revenue Minister
Arthur Meen has reminded
citizens.
"Annual Municipal-
enumeration is quite different
from the enumerations conduc-
ted in preparation for federal
and provincial elections," Mr.
Meen explained. "'Special
voters' lists `are required since
eligibility to vote is different at
the municipal level."
The right to vote in federal
and provincial elections is
based upon citizenship,``age and
residency. The right to vote in a
municipalelection is more ex-
tensive since it allows 'a non-
resident wha is alt least 18.
years old' and a Canadian
citizen or British subject to
vote, if that person owns or
rents property in the
municipality. The spouse of
such a non-resident is also en -
•'•titled to vote. in °.that.
municipality.
"However," Mr. Meen poin-
- ted out, "We require more data
than voter eligibility. The
enumerators .must: record' the
• names, ages, property status
(either owner .or tenant) public
or separate school support and
residency of all members of
each household."'
This information is required
for five purposes: The
preparation of voters' lists for
local elections ,to be held
December 2; the divisitn of the
education portion of property
taxes between -the pl}blic and,
separate school °boards; . the
distributio•n of ' provincial
grants to local governments to
help reduce local tax bills; the

The sympathy of the com-
munity is extended to the
family relatives . of the late
Robert Dures, a • long time
resident of Colborne Township,
who passed away Sunday, Sep-
tember 1 at his late residence.
• He was ; n his '89th year.

determination of local
population statistics to assist in
municipal and provincialplan-
fling.
"Consequently,'' we cannot
use the inforrnation collected
prior to the recent federal else-
tionor any, either el iii;",Mr
Meen observed. "With most 'of'
Ontario holding municipal elec-
tions on Monday, December 2,
we hope this will create gra ter
interest and voter turnouT in
elections for councils, school
boards and public utility com-
missions." Council" members
and trustees will hold office for
a two-year term.
The only municipalities- not
holding council elections on
December 2 (Due to recent
local government
eeorganizations) are those in
Oxford County and in the
Regional Municipalities of
Hamilton -Wentworth,
Haldimand-Norfolk, Peel,
Hatton, and Durham, • the
Townships of • Goulbourn,
Rideau and. West Carleton in
the Regional Municipality of
Ottawa -Carleton, and the town
of-Wasaga Beach in the County
of • Sjmcoe. However,
households in these areas will
still be enumerated to 'collect,
information for'the other purl -
poses -menti<o'ned previously
and, in some' cases,., for the pur-
pose of school board elections.
• About 11,000.. enumerators
have been trained„ to conduct,
this year's ,.program. These
enumerators carry Ministry•,of
Revenue identification card's
.and large blue binders con-
taining enumeration foams..
Mr. Meen noted that the

Tips for fellows
ho eat -out often
The man who „ eats out
`frequently, either because he is
a bachelor, or because business
'takes him away fromhome, can
control - .his intake of foods that
increase the risk of heart at-
tack. . •
A housewife carr feed her
family • fat -controlled, lbw
cholesterol ;meals by carefully
.selecting her visible wand
packaged foods at the si ler-
market.
The marnin a restaurant or
at a banquet can he a label -
reader of sorts, too. He can
avoid foods that call for gravy,
or scrape it from his portion.
He can renapte the coating
, from dried Bods, trim the fat
from his meat, and use an oil- •
vinegar dressing on his salad.
Rich desserts may be temp-
