This year the county has been divided into five areas for the canvass; Pat Whalen, campaign chairman for the -Y Huron Chapter of the Ontario Heart Foundation, an- nounced. Each has an area chairman to coordinate campaign activities. Door-to-door canvassing is the major source of funds for the local campaign and previous campaigns have shown that volunteers can complete their calls in a maximum of two hours, Mr. Whalen said. The 1984 heart fund campaign will succeed with the full cooperation of the people of Huron County, he said. "For your own heart, for the hearts of your families and for the welfare of our communities, I urge you to put out the welcome mat for the volunteer canvasser and help us in achieving our chapter goal of $38,000." Last year's campaign raised $30,000, but Mr. Whalen said he hopes that with more complete coverage of the county the Huron chapter will be able to improve on that figure this ear.--- ternoon.

Events for the various age categories will include the 50 m. dash and hurdles, 200, 800, 1500 and 3000 m. runs, long jump, high jump and shotput. The competition will also provide a tune-up for the Ontario Championships in Toronto March 3.

The Wingham Optimist Club is supporting the group by footing the gas bill for its trip to Toronto. "The progress that medical science will make in its fight against heart disease and stroke will be speeded by the support that you and scores of thousands like you in communities all over Canada give to this annual campaigns" he declared. The national objective is $22 million, with Ontario responsible for raising over $9 million. Anyone who'is not at home when the canvasser calls is invited to send a donation to - the Huron Chapter of the Ontario Heart Foundation care of Lloyd Rowat, treasurer, at 25 'Church Street, Seaforth, NOK 1WO. Great new look for the lounge For the past several weeks, the art students of F. E. Madill have been re- decorating the student lounge. Under the guidance of Mrs. Wood, the art teach- er, they have given the lounge a badly needed face, lift. To begin with, two meet- ings were held with the art students to decide what should be done with the,, lounge. After they decided, the walls were scrubbed and 'a base coat of white was ap- plied. On one wall a design of multi -colored intertwining arrows was painted. On the two side walls, supergraphics (black and white drawings) of interna- tional sports figures were drawn and painted. They in- clude a skier, a curler, a football :player, basketball players and runners. On the remaining wall colorful car- toons were rendered from Herman and Broom Hilda to Snoopy and, of course, Gar- field and Odie. After the designs were completed using latex and enamel paints, several coats of latex varnish were applied for protection. The ceiling beams, door and steps were painted black while the pipes were painted in rainbow colors to match the arrows. The fan was painted purple because that is one of our school colors. (Get it ... a purple fan?!) Thanks go to Mrs. Woods for supervising, the Stu- dents' Council for supplying the materials and to all those who gave up their time to help. All that is needed now is a new floor covering. —Greg Horton —Suzanne Alton -41 illllllll!

CAR RALLY—Claude Martin, one of the leaders of the Wingham Awana Club, did the honors last Friday evening at the Pentecostal Church by setting off the cars in the group's annual car races. One spokesman for the group said the ,children are given kits at the start of the year and go from there constructing their vehicles. The winners from last Friday's competition will go on to aregional Awana competition this month. .In French, Mr. Lisle s Grade 7 class has split up into three groups organizing different events. One is organizing a special French meal, another group is writing a play that they will present and the third group is discussing howy will make a miniatur f t and many other little houses. Everything that . is being made, cooked or written, has something to do with the history of Quebec. —Ria Linardatos Mr. Saltasov's ' class has started a "chess tourna- ment. Eleven players now are participating in a championship while the rest of the class is learning the rules. Sometime in the spring the whole class will have a championship. The top three players will make the class team. Mr. Sakasov's top , three chess players will meet .Mrs. Martin's top three. They are really looking forward to this upcoming- meeting. —Leianne Johnson In Mrs. MacRae's class the students have been studying the past and present. Grade 3 is doing multiplication and have become great writers. Grade 2 is practising its consonent blends. They are writing their diaries every day now. Peach Fuzz, the gerbil, unfortunately is dead. They think he may have died from brain damage. He had chewed up his exercise wheel and was jumping up and down and hitting his head. —Heather McLennan Mrs. Martin's Grade 5 class has just begun its speeches. Each individual will have a topic which will be written from the top of his or her head and not with the help ofentirely any books. —Lynne Braun Mrs. Schedler's class watched a film about non- smoking. Along with the film, they drew crayon - etched pictures to do with the topic. They enjoyed doing it very much and learned that smoking is not -good for you. —Christa Curzon error Editorial Vlolence is hurting .sports Violence is part of sports that should be penalized severely. It has become more evident to me through the events of sports pro- grams on TV, through play- ing many sports myself, and through watching children play. It is not "getting any better but worse. It is a disease which has spread throughout every sport. Boxing is one sport that needs tougher regulations. Eight people died last year becayse of injuries they re- ceived during matches. I will admit that violence is a part of boxing, but steps shouldbe made to make it not as dangerous to the boxer's life as it is now. Hockey is the most violent sport of all. It is supposed to be a physical sport combin- ing teamwork and quick re- flexes. More often, if a goal was disallowed because a team member was in the crease, verbal violence erupts sending showers of potent remarks alopg with perhaps a couple of threat- ening gestures towards the referee. If an opposing play- er injures one of the other team's members, he is a marked man. The other team will take their vengeance on him later dur- ing the period. With more and morechil- dren playing sports, and more and more parents showing up for the games, the parental pressure to win by whatever cause is being imbedded in the children's minds. This emphasis is stressed by the coaches and other people involved. As the children get older they are told to be aggressive and make sure their team wins. What happened to team ef- fort, fair play and a great show of skill? We don't need violence to make the game more lively; we need to stress good old fun. Sports can be played with- out having. to knock some- one's brains out. The Rus- sians win by playing non-vio- lently. Canadians should wake up and play the same what. What has happened tb the advice: "Be a good sport"? —Robert Benninger Student question Our school is just bursting with enthusiasm and spirit.
