Clinton, CIT1t CHnfw' '1' Londesboro On =, Oct. a7 9 Oct. Oct. 9 Oct. 11 Oct.11 osivo Oct` Oct. 12 Oct. 12 ++ With time for a little sober reflection on yet another assassination of a world figure, one cannot help but reflect upon the very cheapness of life in high places. Even more amazing are the deep hatreds in- herent among those middle east nations manifested when so many openly rejoic- ed at the Sadat assassina- tion. None of our quiet diplomacy there - just the old "eye for an eye" rule. Why do we raise societies like ours and those of our great southern neighbour which spend fortunes on elections and all the atten- dant hoop -la to have the vic- torious leader become a sit- ting duck for assassins' bullets? Why does a so-called 20th century society which will shortly be mailing cards which proclaim the eternal "peace on earth" seem to be slipping ever farther away from that hope? Why? +++ The following is the "only" news item to come to Town Talk this week. Central Huron Secondary School sent 25 visitors (students and teachers) on a one -day visit to University of Waterloo on Wednesday, September .30. Our high school representatives join- ed those , of five other southwestern Ontario high schools in this project. The students sat in on regular lectures and took part in lab sessions. They took notes, did experiments, asked questions and mixed freely with the University of Waterloo students. Waterloo , has been operating its science day visiting program for 13 years. during which time close to 39,000 Ontario high school students have had an oppor- tunity to spend a day on the campus.

Teachers and students have settled into the regular routine of work. A great many new things have been happening around St. Joseph's. We'd like to share some of them with you. St. Joseph's school has received a new computer for instructional purposes, the `Commodore Pet'. It is capable of presenting a wide variety of lessons. Its primary use will be in the Special Education classroom where skills can be reinforced through repeated practice on the computer. It will also be us- ed by the Resource Teacher and her students as well as selected other students as more programs are purchas- ed or developed. The machine can be pro- grammed to do many. lessons in mathematics, spelling, grammar, as well as an unlimited number of other possibilities. We are pleased that the Board Of- fice was able to provide us with the funds to purchase this sophisticated piece of equipment. Parents will be able to watch it in action in November. Many improvements have been made to the school and the school grounds over the summer. A beautiful oak trophy case and display niche was built in the front hall through the co-operation of the C.P.TA. and the School Board. All the windows in the old part of the school were replaced with thermal glass which should cut down on the drafts and on our energy ex- penses. The old windows were deteriorating badly and during rainstorms they leaked. We are happy to have the new ones. The Town of Clinton excavated the roadway in front - of the school and it has been built up to the proper grade in • BEAVERS SCOUTS News by Evelyn Feeney The 1981-82 season of the Boy Scout Movement in Clinton has started with the following groups available to the young boys in our area: Beavers, Colony A - Section Leader, Mary Freeman, Colony B, Section Leader, Marianne Fremlin; Cubs, Bill Hoggarth; Boy Scouts, Wayne Wigelsworth; Ven- turers, Jim Bechtel.
