marks 95th
birthday
By Anne Narejko
If there's any truth to the statement, "It
. runs in the family," then Elma Young is liv-
ing proof of it.
Mrs. Young celebrated her 95th birthday
on September 27 in Clinton with her family,
and although some may think obtaining
such an age is quite special, it is something
that is common in her family.
"My mother was 96, my grandmother was
89 and my great grandmother was 96. My
brother Allan, (who lives in Clinton) is 91
and I had another brother, Theron, who liv-
ed
to be 91," said Mrs. Young. She also had a
sister, Rhoda, who reached the age of 94 and
a brother, Erland, who reached the age of
67.
7Mrs. Young was born in Goderich
Township and later married Peter Young in
1914. Together the couple farmed and raised
two daughters, Mrs. Graham (Olive)
Johnston and Mrs. Harold (Bess) Black,
and one son, James who died five years ago.
However, his wife Lorrine assists Mrs.
Young whenever she asks.
In 1949 Mrs. Young and her husband mov-
ed to Goderich were she still looks after her
own home.
"I have a garden that I work in, but my
family helps me a lot. I have a wonderful
family. They're really good to me," said
Mrs. Young, adding they help her with the
house cleaning and baking.
Despite her age, Mrs. Young is quick to
answer any question tossed her way and en-
joys walking.
"She's very active,"said her son-in-law,
Mr. Johnston. "She's been like a mother to
me since my own mother passed away."
The 95 -year-old has seven grandchildren
and 11 great grandchildren.
For her birthday, Mrs. Young received
many cards, flowers, candies and telephone
calls. She also received cards from MP Mur
rayCardiff, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
and a plaque from MPP and Minister of
Agriculture and Food Jack Riddell and
Premier David Petersen.
And what does Mrs. Young attribute her
longevity to? Simply, "Hard work and good
family."

CLINTON - All regular classes and ac-
tivities have begun at the Clinton and
District Christian School (CDCS) this fall.
Already, time tables and routines are well
established. It is hoped that the new
students - both in kindergarten and other
grades, already feel at ease.
A welcome is extended to the new
families: the Burns and Ferguson families
of Goderich, and the Hoonaard family of
Blyth. Students report as follows:
The school has begun practices for the
soccer tournament to be held Oct. 7, at
Huron Centennial School. The team tries to
practice everyday but lately the weather
hasn't been helpful. Practice is held at noon
hour. Teams will be chosen from Grade 7
and 8.

CDCS is getting larger; two classrooms
and a storeroom are being added to the
school.
Before school started the footings were
clone and last week the floor was poured.
This week the rooms are starting to take
shape with the frame being put up. The rain
has really held up the construction. It is
hoped it will be finished around Christmas
and then they can move in.

Running club is fast -paced and on-going
fun. Students from all grades run at recess -
10:30 - 10:45 a.m. Most run the required five
laps to equal one kilometre; others run two
or even three kilometres at a, time. Some
students run at home as well. Running cards
keeptrack of the results; badges are earned
for 50, 75, 100 or 200 kilometres scores.
