"You guys hungry?" I asked hopefully, remem- bering when my children were babies they usually dropped off to sleep when their stomachs were full. "Yeh!" they chorused excitedly. So it was to the kitchen for toast and peanut butter and jam and milk - lots of it. It was really a great op- portunity to get to know the kids: for they were eager to chat about everything from how their team did during the regular season to how many boyfriends their sisters have. And the kids were actually quite mannerly and thoughtful, for the most part appreciative of a friendly, homelike atmosphere where rules were flexible enough to permit midnight lunchei and early -morning games of hide- and-seek. But it does add yet another dimension to an already hectic schedule - complicated even further by extra bedding to wash, extra shopping to do, extra food to prepare. For- tunately for me, my own family is just great about pitching in during that week by making up beds and cots and running errands. • • 'e • But I say again, I'm happy that YCW comes only once, a year. Much oftener than that and I'd be a physical wreck. Somehow though, much of it seemed all worthwhile by just one remark made by a student at Brookside School a week or two before YCW opened. I was out at the school, visiting some of the classrooms and answering questions for the kids. One young man raised his hand and asked, "Is Signal - Star going to be putting out that daily newspaper during Young Canada again this year?" When I assured him the paper would be published, a big broad smile crossed his face. "That's good," he said in a tone which told me he meant it and would appreciate the little hockey sheet. • After all, that's what the weekly newspaper business really is .... service to the community in which that newspaper is situated. Judging from the youngster's comments, we're doing something right at least part of the time.

Chief King also told the meeting that a new antenna, which will improve transmission,, was due at the local station soon, as was a stronger radio unit which would boost the signal output from two to five watts. Chief King blamed the Bell Canada salesman who handled the Goderich account originally for not making local officials completely aware of several pieces of extra, and better quality equipment, which were available and which might well have prevented the problems the officers have been com- plaining about.
