The Kuties met at Diane Vanneste's house on Tuesday, October 18 and all 10 members were present. After repeating the pledge we answered the roll call by sharing with the group "something we had to smile about last week." Margaret Hoggarth led us in our book work about Consumers' rights and responsibilities, reminding us we have a right to be heard. We must learn to com- plain effectively, either by person, phone or mail. If we get no results after carrying through this far we should then contact our federal or provincial government. We then set our books aside to get on with the fun and relaxing part. We each had brought a bucket along with us, and Margaret Hogarth had put 100 ml of baking soda into each bucket and then enough very warm water to cover our feet. After removing our shoes and socks and rolling up our pant legs we treated our tired feet to a relaxing foot soak. Some of us were working on our nails at the same time by soaking our fingers in warm sudsy water. Before the evening was over our feet felt soothed and our nails looked well manicured. During all this activity Yvonne Reynolds, a writer and photographer for a local newspaper arrived to take some photos. Tonight was special for two of our members as Linda and Lois Binnendyk were celebrating their 13th birthdays. Diane Vanneste had made a lovely cake with candles for them to blow out and we sang Happy Birthday to them. Linda and Lois then thanked Diane and cut and served the cake to us along with juice. We decided to come .in Hallowe'en costumes and have a party to close our last meeting next week.

The board of educa- tion is just taking a "responsible approach" to potential purchases. Trustee Art Clarke, a member of the board's ad hoc committee on computers, told the board at its Oct. 3 meeting that the committee will be preparing an interim report on its activities. The report is ex- pected to be presented at the board's November meeting. The trustee said the committee has view- ed a mobile computer classroom set up by a former Huron County teacher. Committee members are also hoping to "get a chance to view" the computer being touted by the provincial government. While Huron schools will not be receiving any of these computers on a trial basis, Mr. Clarke said the regional ministry of education of- fice in London could be getting two or three in November. Mr. Clarke said the committee is reluc- tant to make any proposals to purchase classroom computers until they receive feedback on the. province's computer. Tony McQuail, another ad hoc committee member, said there are 75 computers already in Huron schools purchased by the individual schools. He added that the com- mittee has to place emphasis on having a trained and competent staff to teach com- puter programs to the students.
