was also finalized that the
Township skating party will be
, December 30, 8-10 p.m. in the
Goderich Arena. A motion was
also made and passed that the
adult and children's recreation
be divided at the 16 year age
(16 and under and 16 and over)
so the 16 years{ old (only) may
go to both.
It was left to Alison Lobb to
inve tigate into an "All-
41,
Seasons Survival Course"
speaker for 1975.
The participants to date total

It was noted that the round
dancing group 'is well on its
way this year. The adult exer-
cises and volleyball on Wed-
nesday.nights is having a better
attendance of adults. Perhaps
the outdoor farm work is
nearing its end.
The children's volleyball on

to „ Martie' Lobb, Millie Lgbb

The project will begin on
December 2, 1974.
Canadian children from
coast to coast are invited• to
contribute their own drawings
or paintings, expressing the
theme "What Christmas Means
To Me". These will be used to
produce- several distinctive
Christmas stamp designs reflec-
ting'the essence of the Chris't-
mas spirit and the freshness
and variety of young minas.
The ' Departments of
Education in every province
are. co-operating with the
project.
The. Canada Post Office
issues special stamps each year
to mark the Christmas season
and normally these are
designed by , professional ar-
tists. For Christmas 1975
designs by Canadian children"
will be used.
Children are invited to par-
ticipate in the project by sub-
mitting their` personally
executed designs between
December 2, 1974 and February
14, 197,5.. Selection will be
made initially on a regional
basis and 'subsequently at the.
national level..
To assist with the screening
of designs, the Canada Post
Office has enlisted the aid of
regional .. panels, including
'directors of art galleries, ar-
tists, art educators' and mem-
bersof the Advisory Committee
on stamp design. , -
When the provincial jurying
ha -been •been completed, selections
on the. _national level will be
made by the Department's
stamp Design Advisory Com-
mittee.
It is hoped that this• project,
which offers an opportunity for
children to see their own
drawing or painting on a
Canadian stamp, will be an in-
teresting experience for them as
well as being fun.

Anatomy of a Gas Range.
Our latest gas ranges are beautiful
enough to be seen in the most modern kitchens.
'And when it gets down to actually
replacing your present gas range, we know you
y
give that surface beautya lot of close scrutiny,
nd that's when you'll be sold.
Today's gas ranges come with all
the latest time -saving conveniences. Take
the oven - it's a continuous cleaning oven that
does exactly what the name suggests. It cleans
itself continuously. M you use it. There are also
self -timing evens to cook dinner when you're
not even home. And micro -ray broilers to speed
up cooking time.
But while all our new ranges are
convenient, there's one feature that still
outshines the others. Cooking control.
The instant -heat instant -heat feature of natural gas
means the minute you turn on the flame, you
turn on the heat. And the infinite -heat feature
means you have an infinite number of settings
to .choose from; low enough to melt chocolate
without burning the pot, or high enough to
deep-fry or stir -fry in a wok:
Then, too, there's the matter of energy
conservation. With in,,Stant-heat control you
never waste energy just warming up or cooling
down elements. Or, for that matter, you never
waste energy just keeping your oven clean.
Let's face it, when it comes to efficiency, .gas is a
natural. There's no refining or generating
involved (you're getting fuel energy right from
its source), for a. wise and efficient use.of energy
resources. a ,u a
When it cones time to replace your,
present range, get a natural gas range..,
We think you'll agree, the beauty of
gas is what it does for your time.
