On the emperor costly gifts were lavished by the patricians. The custom of giving presents to the emperor was kept up for days after New Year proper and became such a drain on the purses of the nobles that Tiberius made a law forbidding the giving of New Year's gifts except on the calends of January. of age. The cost is $5 per participant. Registration is at the Goderich Branch Library, 52 Montreal Street.

There were 11 young people to join the church and Mr. Bill Norman Charles Rau prize nominee A Zurich area man was recently nominated for a province -wide award to recognize his 46 years of ser- vice ervice to Catholic education. Charles Rau, RR2 Zurich was nominated for the On- tario Separate School Trustees' Association award of merit by the Huron -Perth Separate School Board. Once nominated, it is up to the OSSTA to make a final decision from nominations received. The decision is ex- pected hi March of 1982 with the award to be presented in April. Rau was first elected as a trustee for the Separate School Section No. one Stanley in 1932. The follow- ing year he became secretary -treasurer for the board and continued to serve as a trustee in Stanley Township until the union of SSS No. 1 Stanley with SSS No. 1 Hay. This union boad was form- ed in 1959. In a letter from the Huron -Perth Separate School Board to the OSSTA it states, "<ks a mark of his unselfish devotion to the peo- ple of the area. Rau worked quietly and diligently to br- ing the people of the two communities together on the issue of the union of the two school sections. "Eventually, and in large measure due to his effec- tiveness as a trustee, a new school was constructed," the letter states. The school was named Ecole Ste. Marie and offered a bilingual education to Catholic' children of the area to the end of grade 10. Rau was then elected to the new board of trustees in 1960 and he continued to serve ratepayers of the new school section until the for- mation of county boards in 1969. He stepped down as a trustee for two years and in December 1971 he was elected as the separate school representative on the Huron County Board of Education. He continued to serve the Catholic ratepayers of Huron County until his retirement in December of 1980. "As recently as 1980, a spokesperson for the. Ecole Ste. Marie school communi- ty, when addressing the board of trustees expressed the view that the school had been a "long term benefit to the community, to our pro- vince and to Canada". History, thus, acknowledged and gave credence to the sometimes frustrated but diligent efforts of Charles Rau," the letter to OSSTA stated. and Mr. Murray Lobb presented the young people with a Bible and certificate. Rev. Bechtel's message was The New Beginning. Hugh and Marty Lobb sang a duet. It is to be mentioned that Mrs. Jean Perdue did an ex- cellent job in decorating the church for the Christmas season.
