Summer employment
A suggested plan for sharing a summer
student between Seaforth, Bayfield and
Stanley Township, wes moved by Councillor
Reg Wilson and seconded by Councillor

The student will be hired for an 18 week

skaters show skill and determination
By Helen Owen
The cold outside and the cold inside the
arena was quickly dissipated on Saturday
- afternoon, when the little performers
skating out on to the ice provided a heart
warming sight for spectators.
Venturing forth on the white, gleaming ex-
panse, each little performer stood out as an
individual; -and -as they formed lines -.and
circles, stooped and bent to the music, the
difference in personalities was reflected in

The demanding co-ordination of moving
on the ice did not phase them, and their co-
operative efforts revealed an additional

ing support from another member

putting everything into the combined effort.
Now and then a little.smile for Mum on the
side indicated the pride of the performer,
"See Mum, no hands!" At one point a little
felloW did go down but there was no. panic or
tears. He sat there happily surveying his
surroundings and awaiting rescue.
Individual performances by some of the
older children revealed some veryromms-
ing skaters who worked through their solos
and duets with skill and grace. •
" `here` was a good- t�r rout, not -only -of
parents, but other members of the public
and listening to their comments afterwards
there :was no doubt they had enjoyed the.
display, Much patience and practice must
have contributed and the coaches are to be
congratulated on the work they have achiev-
ed.
Following a short interval for refresh-
ment served by the Bayfield Lioness the
program continued with a demonstration of
the training of the hockey team. A match
had 'been arranged but unfortunately the
other team were unable to come. Undeter-
red those little hockey players, who a. year
ago, knew little of skating, took to the ice
with their trainers. Shirts might be knee
length and helmets providing anonymity;
but the individual characteristics of the lit-
• tle skaters soon revealed themselves.
Whether it was forming a line, curving
arouri�i-obatacles;-catching each -other or
taking shots on goal, each 'exercise was
treated seriously and most energetically.
The discipline- - of.:. the - =boys,- and as
subsequently revealed when the helmets
came off, girls, was ,most marked.tAgain
great credit is due' to the trainers who
devote their time to the children
It was a Bicentennial event as marked by
the ice which bore the message "Happy Bir-
thday Ontario", but it was also an example
of the way in which the arena is being used
by some very young Canadians in order to
master one of Canada's most popular
wick.
Traffic problem solved
Reeve Johnston said he has met with Pat
Watters, owner The Little Inn"and Gale
Gundi, a member of LACAC, and "they
assured me they are prepared to work close-
ly with council to assure it (traffic conges-
tion on Catherine Street) doesn't happen
again."
The Reeve said that council will look at
the budget "and see what possibly can -be
done." "Right now (because of the earlier
thaw) I think the problem is resolved," the
Reeve said.

Strachan Replies
Ed Strachan wishes to further clarify his
views, after the council meeting reported
last week in the News -Record and sends the
following letter to this end.
L feel that 1 must write a few lines as• I see
it. I told one reporter that I was not a yes
man. As for asking ci estions, if it is a crime
then I'm guilty, but don't know any other
way to get answers., I always thought you
were a man who had everything ready.
You did correct one councillor not to give
names at a council meeting, and yet you do
it.
The run down on the tax dollar was well
done, but for me the Emmy Award goes to

years since I saw it done last. •
