But what's the alter- native? Families can vacation separately, but that isn't favored at our house. Our timetables are such throughout the year that we need a family vacation to get back in touch with each other. Parents who might like to vacation alone, without the , children, however, are often hampered by the cost of hiring someone to look after the family while mom and dad are away. That can run into lots of money, particularly if there isn't a special friend or a grandmother who will offer services at a reasonable rate. Just what are the an- swers in this kind of situation? There's no doubt that holidays can be a real hassle for people. When you are lucky enough to be able to arrange holidays to suit your budget, your schedule and your mood holidays can be great fun. For the last few months', I've been thinking about my vacation. There were times when I thought the first two weeks of October would never arrive. But they are -here at last and I'm reminded again of that wise old saying: Put your hand in a bucket of water and pull it out quickly; the hole that is left is how much you will be missed. Everybody wants to be missed - but I've got this funny sick feeling everything will go smooth as silk while I'm gone. I'll think of you while I'm away. Promise me you'll remember me, toe.

Thanks Dear Editor, Already the summer has passed, and the 197$ Student Employment Program is drawing to a close. At this time I would like to take this op- portunity to thank the many people of our area who helped to make the 1978 Student Manpower Program a success. Over the summer, otir offices in Exeter and in Goderich had 630 jobs _f ed _by stud ents_Th was an increase of 48 placements, from this time last year. As more and more people learn of our program, we are able to find an increasing number of jobs for students. I hope our communities will lend their support again in 1979, as they have this year. I'm Sure I speak for many students when I say thank you to our com- munity: we appreciate the employment offered by local citizens who hired students to worst in their homes, their businesses, and on their farms; we also ap- preciate the publicity 'given to our efforts by the local media; and we appreciate the work done by the enthusiastic young people who are our program's own best advertisement. Thank you Goderich, and area! Sincerely, Jeannette M. Finnigan. Thanks Dear Editor, Thank you very much for the notice of the ex- piry date of my sub- scription to the Signal - Star.

With kind regards - Ruth Wilson Disturbed Dear Editor, Along with the radiant parks" gardens, summer has gone. So much of the Charm and enchantment of Goderich is in- corporated in the lively gardens, in the peaceful and restful parks of the summertime. These parks are very well maintained by a dedicated group of workers who have pride in their work and skills. There's distinction and nobility in the per- formance of a proud and skilled worker, in every type of work and in return, it also gives the worker a sense of joy and satisfaction. It • is not an attitude of just getting the job done but. in doing it with feeling and (,- propriety. We can be proud of these parks. Visitors from all parts 'of this continent are really enthralled with the exciting views from the embankments in these parks; and especially the fine view of the lake from the old lighthouse where the ever changing moods of this great inland sea are intensely seen and felt. We need to be reflective and thankful and ap- preciatiVe of the, - generations whose keen insight made it possible for the preservation .of these lands for the people 10 enjoy.. They ,giv.e....ex- traordinary beauty to the town and are added delight to all those who enjoy them. Also accolades to Mr. Jim Donnelly who has been exceedingly gracious, generous and democratic in preserving and maintaining that lovely stretch of land adjacent to his house without restrictions. Strollers and visitors are encouraged to linger. there awhile on the benches he has provided while they enjoy the thrilling scene of the great Lake Huron sun- sets. However, it is disturbing and distressing to see the, unnecessary erosion •of the lighthouse point which has doubled this summer and then more so in September as human beings use these runways to and fro as short cuts to St. Christopher's Beach just. below. Townshend keynotes March of Rural Action will be the ` theme of Elaine: Town- shend's keynote address at the Ontario March of Dimes' annual campaign dinner on Oct. 3, 1978 at the Kitchener Granite Club. About 125 volunteers from the counties of Waterloo, Perth, Wellington, Dufferin, Grey, Bruce and Huron are 'expected to attend what promises to be a most interesting evening. Ms. Townshend is president of the Huron County Action League for the Physically Han- dicapped, a group of handicapped people who Imes live , mainly in rural settings •throughout Huron County. Despite her disability of '3 -ho arms, Ms. Town- shend, is a free lance writer and photographer, who lives on her own and is a familiar face to residents of Goderich and Clinton as she frequently passes through, driving her slightly modified car. Ms. Townshend will be introduced by the Campaign Chairman of Milverton, Mrs. Jack, and will be thanked by Luckpow's Campaign Chairman, Laura Lee Cayley. Making its premiere is a '.2.5 minute slide presentation on the entire March of Dimes' organization which shows how the donor dollar is used to the benefit of physically disabled adults. The presentation -will be given by Larry Parker of Kitchener. An outline of the 1979 campaign will be given by the recently appointed Director of Resources, Anne Moore. The dinner promises to be a most informative •one especially to those people interested and concerned about the future of Ontario's physically disabled adults. CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER???

ERIC CARM1N PHOTOGRAPHY, RE 0011ERIH 114 THE SQU 5247424 • PreserVation here would seem more vital than roads, parking lots or other things. Immediate precautions are necessary to preserve this legacy, :otherwise that most exciting look- out will be gone forever and the quaint old lighthouse edangered.

Paul Revere - Dear Editor, Moncton school teacher, Malcolm Ross, may well be Canada's Paul Revere. If anything can shock us Canadians out of our apathy and gullibility it should be .Mr. Ross' recently - published' book, "Web of Deceit." . Mr. Ross. courageously exposes the international ' conspiracy that, over 200 years ago, . set out to achieve world domination and that today is rapidly ap- proaching its goal. "Web of Deceit" tells why, our. ties with the monarchy are being cut; why our Red Ensign was arbitrarily replaced with the -meaningless Maple Leaf flag; why our im- migration •quotas have been changed; why Ottawa wants gun con- trol; why our churches and education systems have been infiltrated by those who . seek our . downfall; and why we are being flooded with por- nography, anti -religious films and narcotics. "Web of Deceit" also tells who and what 'are responsible for stirring up trouble, between Canada's francophones and anglophOnes • at a time when both groups must be united to face the awespme threat of the , • " ' • . " ' THE 0013g Ricg SIONALSTAR, TiilLTRSDAY,'OPTQBglt j•578•PA G:t 5 international conspiracy. "Web of Deceit" names the three parts of this conspiracy and outlines 'the action that freedom - loving Canadians can and must take to defeat it. Throughout history evil persons have always feared having their -plots exposed to public scrutiny. It is up to all of us, regardless apolitical ties, to know our enemy and act accordingly.
