Musicians Take Note Are you a budding musician? Do you write your own songs? Perhaps you would like to try to put out your own record. Have you ever wondered how? There are two ways to start — you could go straight to a record company and play a few of your tunes, or you could find an agent. Most musicians try to find an agent; they're listed In the Yellow Pages. Once you find an agent, phone for an appointment and take in a cassette tape recording of some of your songs. If the agent likes your music, he or she will call some record companies and try to obtain some funding to make what's called a "demo tape." Once the money is avail- able, the agent will arrange studio time, back-up musi- cians, harmonies, and sheet music., When you're in the studio all the different instruments will go through a sound test until everyone is ready to "lay down a track." Tapes can have up to 24 tracks and each track can be recorded separately. When all the parts of the song are on tape, it is lacquered for preserva- tion and sent to a record cutter. The record company has a needle that is very sensitive to the different sound vibrations of each note on the tape. While the tape is being played, the needy squiggles through a soft metal — sometimes gold — to make a mold for plastic records to be pressed from. The company then puts the records into jackets and sends them to radio stations for airing. Just think, one day you may find yourself in a studio!

(James Fitzgerald photo) Board decides to withdraw from UNICEF BYSTEPHANIE IEVESQUE In an 8 - 4 vote, the Huron - Perth Separate School Board moved to have the schools in its system temporarily with- draw from the . UNICEF ,programat Hallowe'en. The motion was approved by the board at its Sept. 28 meeting,, following discussion amongst the trustees. A. memorandum from director of education William Eckert will be sent to the principals of the Huron -Perth sepalrate schools, notifying them of the position taken by the board. Mr. Eckert reminded trustees the issue was raised at the board's last meeting after direction was. requested by the principals. The approval means the children in the Huron -Perth System will net be carrying UNICEF boxes on Hallowe'en. The withdrawal is on a temporary basis for this year. At the previous meeting of the board, it decided it would wait until the September 28 meeting before making a decision. It was anticipated that Bishop John -Michael Sherlock of the London diocese would make an announcement regarding the UNICEF boxes,but the announcement as not made. Trustee Jeannette Eybergen suggested the students could cbllect money for some mission. She said the children felt they were doing something when they collected the money in the UNICEF boxes. She added that people thought a lot more of ilia cniiaren wno carried UNICEF boxes on Hallowe'en. Trustee William Kinahan said he agreed with Trustee Eybergen and said maybe a choice could be offered to the Clinton mentioned in Scottish church bulletin Editor's note: The follow- generosity.

In 1977 Miss Plumtree came to Kirkconnel for two weeks, she knew no one, but she quickly made friends. She found a family headstone in the chur- chyard, she visited the Ven- nel where her great great grandmother was born and she worshipped in the church of her forefathers. She had a most memorable holiday. Kirkconnel has a very special place in her heart. She met with so much kindness, the people were so friendly and helpful to her that she felt she had come home. She still corresponds with the friends she made on her visit. "At the end of last year she kindly offered to make a gift to the church. It was decided to renew the light fitting in the C►-ancel and to buy a decorative lampshade for it. There was enough money left to buy a flovver pedestal to sit beside the organ. "At the June communion the minister dedicated these gifts in memory of Walter and Mary McMillan and he made reference to Miss .Plumtree and her great great grandparents. The pla- que on the pedestal reads — Chancel Chandelier and Flower Pedestal gifted by Miss Catherine E. Plumtree, Clinton, Ontario, Cal ada in $memory of her great, great grandparents,, Walter McMillan and his wife Mary Laidlaw of Vennel, natives of Kirkconnel who emigrated to Canada in 1844. "We are Most grateful to Miss Plumtree for her that she came to our village. "Whole families emigrated to Canada about the middle of the last cen- tury, McMillans, Laidlaws, McDowalls and McMichaels to name a few. All lived in houses in the Main Street from the cafe`tlp. They settl ed in the 'sable area of Ontario and as we would say `They've a' married through ither'. If anyone can remember their parents or grandparents mentioning these families emigrating or anything about them I would be pleased,to hear about it." Now is the time to Fresh, crispy apples are a favorite snack food in On- tario. And now is a good time to enjoy their sweet flavor, when they're fresh from the tree. Marketing specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food re- mind us that most Ontario apples are also great for cooking. Basically, all varieties, with the exception of Red Delicious and Spartan can be used for cooking. These two varieties are best for fresh eating. When cooking with apples, the type of recipe helps determine the specific apple variety to choose. For exam- ple, for poaching or baking, it's best to choose a firm - textured apple that will hold its shape, well. For these cooking methods, Northern Spy would be an excellent choice. On the other hand, for sauces and puddings, choose a softer textured ap- ple that cooks down more quickly, such as the McIn- tosh. When preparing large quantities of apples for cook- ing, the apples often brown after they are cut. A quick solution to this problem is to dip the apple pieces in a weak brine made by dissolv- ing 1 tsp. salt in five cups water. A quick dip should be sufficient to prevent brown- ing. Don't soak the apples for more than five minutes or they may develop a salty flavor. students. Board chairman Ronald Murray said the board's purpose is to educate children, riot to collect money on Hallowe'en. "Personally, I don't like to see our kids going out with the boxes," said chairman Murray. Trustee • Ernest Van- derschot said the board should leave the question of the UNICEF boxes the way it is. (Previously the decision to allow the UNICEF boxes to be distributed among the school children was left up to. the individual principal.) He said, the board was not familiar with how bad the needs of the third world countries are. • (UNICEF money aids in the third world.) "I will not vote for the motion," said Trustee Vanderschot. Trustee John O'Leary asked if it was left up to the principals would it be mandatory for the children to take the UNICEF boxes. "Not now, not ever;" said director of education Eckert. He said the decision had been left up to the individual child. Raise Punts and improve reading skills These days when parents and educators are concerned. with the decline in the "Three Rs", there is a pro- gram designed to motivate children to read books fir- the MS READ-a-thon. Local elementary shoot students will again hav the opportunity to improve their reading skills while raising funds for Multiple. Sclerosis (MS) research when the READ-a-thon begins. Area students will be signing up sponsors who will be asked to help by pledging money ,( a nickel, dime, quarter or more) for each book the youngsters read during the three to five week reading period. Schools in Huron County that will be participating in the MS READ-a-thon in- clude: St. Joseph RCSS in Clinton, Exeter Elementary School, St. Boniface in Zurich and St. Joseph's RCSS in Kingsbridge. Each school is visited by an MS society represen- tative October 13 to 23 for an assembly presentation. The interested students then register and have . until November 13 to read as many books as they wish. The youngsters are urged to "read for the need of others" by their parents, teachers and well known personalities who support the READ-a-thon: Wayne Gretzky and Guy Lafleur. An estimated 35,000 Cana- dians have Multiple Sclerosis, a mysterious disease which affects the central nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis afflicts young adults between the ages of 15.40. Established in 1977 by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, the MS READ-a- thon has grown and gained the support of the Interna- tional Reading Association, the Canadian Library Association, , as well as thousands of school superintendents, principals, teachers, :librarians and the children themselves.
