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

,St. Joseph's receives the "Commodore Pet" computer
The first month of the
school year at St. Joseph's
Separate School is nearly
finished. 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
