That was something she had wanted for a long time, and this year, she has fulfilled yet another dream. Mrs. Wammes has recently become the owner of Mary's of Clinton and says, "It's a dream. I've always wanted to have a shop like this." Mrs. Wammes worked part time with the previous owner, Mary Divok, before making the decision to buy it. And although it was something Mrs. Wammes had thought about, when the deal came together, everything happened fairly quickly. "It took place in about two or three weeks," she explained. No major changes have been planned for the business. The name of the store will re- main the same because it is well known and the basic stock will remain with the in- troduction of designer fabrics and an in- rease in bridal wear. The actual layout of the store, however, will be changed with the bridal section and the knitting and sewing machines changing locations. In January, classes will be offered to those who wish to learn how to use the knit- ting and sewing machines. Mrs. Wammes' grand opening will be held from December 4-6 with representatives from White HusqVarna and Brother on hand. Mrs. Wammes plans on being a busy lady for the next while, with her involvement in council, on the recreation board and looking after the store, but she says her family doesn't mind. "As always, they're right behind me," she said. Carol Wammes has recently taken over ownership of Mary's of Clinton. Mrs. Wammes plans to expand some of the material and services offered, but has no major changes in mind for the store.

Every six weeks the school publishes a news booklet entitled "The Link". It is an a b hich board staff, students and The CDC5 Ra .ort parents can communicate meeting reports, personal writings on a school theme and ar- ticles of interest. The following are some student writings' that tell of how they feel. The Poppy I held the poppy in my hand. It seemed to speak to me. The sorrows of the war it knew The lives that would not be. I held the poppy in my hand. And it reminded me ' Of all the blood that was shed ..� _ . For folks like you and me. I held the poppy in my hand. I thought it spoke to me Of all the hope' that it portrayed Of peace for you and me. -Steven Poortinga, Grade 6.

For speculative purposes, 100 per cent of the market value, as established by the regional assessment office, will be request. Council also stated that the purchasers are to assume all legal costs of transferring title to the property. If an easement is necessary for the town to service the property or any adjacent pro- perty, the. cost will be divided 50 per cent by the town and the purchaser. Employee Hired Carl Towton has been hired on an ir- regular part time basis to set up and clean up after events in the town hall auditorium ata rate of G5 50 npr hnnr In the past this job has been carried out by Clinton Recreation Director, Steve Camp- bell, but with the increased use of the facili- ty, the task is occupying a large portion of his time. Mayor John Balfour said Mr. Towton's hours will vary, depending on when the auditorium is booked.
