McGuire Huron -Perth children read for MS Starting October 9, 22 elementary schools in Huron and Perth Counties began reading to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis. During the READ-a-thon, children are asked to read books at their own reading level and receive sponsorship from friends and family for each book they read. This fall, students read until November 9, and send in the funds raised by November 16. All funds raised will be used for research. The READ-a-thon in Hurn❑ and Perth will involve 3,642 students between Grades 2 and 8, who hope to raise $10,000. An overwhelm- ing '.,059.96 was raised by 693 students dur- ing the 1983 fall READ-a-thon. Mary Vezeau, Special Events Co- ordinator for the Multiple Sclerosis Society said, "If everyone in the Huron and Perth counties sponsored one child in their neighbourhood, they would be helping to motivate that child to read while raising funds for the crippling disease of young adults." MS is a disease of the .central nervous system which may be characterized by disturbances of vision, muscle control, balance and speech. MS usually affects adults between the ages of 15 and 50. As yet, there is no known cause or cure. Huron County Career Fair to be held November 4 Young people can learn about educational and career options for the future at the Huron County Career Fair, scheduled for Sunday, November 4, from 1-4 p.m., at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Students, parents and other members of the community will have the opportunity to meet and talk with professionals from more than 50 career areas. These range from accountant to tool and die maker, from journalist to law enforcement officer, from architect to registered nurse. In addition, representatives from a lame number of educational institutions will be on hand to answer questions and provide information on career -related courses and programs of study, career patterns and opportunities for the 1980s and beyond and Round 'n About Last year Beta Sigma Phi groups decided it was time the girls all had a night out - and that's exactly what they arranged - Ladies' Night Out. Fantastic! Repeated again this year the party was a great success Friday night. With the HELPERS, there must have been nearly 400 people there - but somehow it didn't feel crowded. The program was entirely dif- ferent to last year's fun night - I believe it iwas even better - never a dull moment. After a fine dinner, with salad bar and all - right down to great desserts - the tables were cleared and in marched a group of men arrned with banjoes, guitars, a pair of twins had a pair of terrific harmonicas that they really knew how to make speak! or SING! Another big, good-looking man had a small tin washboard - it performed a lot nicer than any old washboard that I can remember and there were other musical in- struments like clackety "bones" and a poor old fellow, white hair and beard, lugged in a big contraption which he set up, then grabb- ed a long string, stuck his foot in the middle of the tub and snapped some nice thumpin' music out of it. What will they think of next? Well! there were about nine or ten of them and when they started playing all those - and HYUNDAI Pini s rriving sora in Stratford the increasing importance of lifelong learning in today's society. Nine Ontario colleges of applied arts and technology – including Conestoga College – will take part, as will three universities, two agricultural colleges and several private business and technical schools. Above all, the intent of the Huron County Career Fair is to provide complete first - other instruments - and SINGING too - it was just out of this world. Nearly. I think they all belonged somewhere down at the harbour for they 'started singing "I'se the B'y that Builds the Boats and I's the B'y that Sails 'em and all H— broke loose. GRR-ATE Singers! Then "Old Bill -Bailey" got a goin' over along with "Good Night Irene". "I've been Workin on the R.R." and all, right down to "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah - struxnmin on her old -banjo! " "Smile the While" got the crowd har- monizing - soft and sad 'til we meet again. GREAT crowd of singers now, they really took advantage of the good music to sing out as they haven't done in a long, long time - with feeling! Then "This Land is My Land right from Bonavista to Vancouver Island, the Arctic circle, the Great Lakes, the wheat fields, dust and fog and all - this land was made for YOU and ME." All this was sung loud and clear, and they really meant it. Boy, this group of poor looking fellows sure knew how to play and sing - and could they SING! They had a break, then came back - all dressed in fine suits - white jackets and dark trousers - AND stylish hats. Some hats were a little different - but the music was good. hand, up-to-date career Information to young people In the interest of helping them make sound career decisions.

The only song thatdidn't go well - was that tear-jerker "The Letter Edged in Black". Now, it was so sad, the crowd couldnt' sing it and only a few clapped for it. Such a song was never meant for a ladies' night out - which is always a happy affair. We forgave them anyway. We loved them, they were great and we told them so. The tremendous clapping and noise had hardly settled down when out came half a dozen (I think), teenagers. Real good- looking kids, who went right into their act of BREAK DANCING. Now, there's no way any part of this act could be called dancing. It is too athletic for that. The performance needs great strength and agility, they have no body joints - or maybe too many - and it deserves a better title than break or danc- ing. Break worries me! They were terrific, with a great imagination, energy to burn hard heads, shoulders and elbows, hands and backs that took the brunt of the flying legs and arms. White gloves too, added to the excitement. The audience clapped and cheered 'til they were hoarse and they went on and on until they were exhausted. WE'VE EXPANDED 41.1$ `�tTE WE'RE HAVING TO AN.... I'm sure these great kids will go far with whatever they want to do the rest of their lives. You'll never hear of them in stupid trouble- they take pride in what they do and it showed. (I'm just worried about their backs!) Later, fun and games and prizes, prizes, prizes - and coffee and mom dessert if you wished, rounded out a terrific evening. We all went home happy - and with care as the fog was very thick. The music for the evening was under the control of a D.J. I wondered how long he had been out of M.A.S.H. He was the image of Radar - and has that nickname - RADAR! Nice fellow, good music and a big contribu- tion to a fine evening. Thanks Radar. I: left the hall singing "Why don't we do this more often - just what we're doing to mother boost, for me was when several girls took the time to tell me how much they loved Goderich and the Sorority. Serious, hard working girls, talented in many direc- tions. Hard workers on many Sorority pro- jects - although most of them are busy rais- ing families they still find time to help others. I'm proud of all of them! Love you ALL, Martha, .ESIER4gog i C :TDK SA90 High SUPER xVILYN C.S5Cri, Pa s,t for EXP NSA N October 17th-18Th-19f ALPINE.
