Grade 3's dog, Nero, went

Now every day Nero goes
walking. Afterwards he has a
hot breakfast and curls up in
his basket for a nap.

E. W. considers
paving of road
East Wawanosh Township
Council is considering paving
Con. 4-5 as far as Westfield
this year, if it., can find the
money in its budget.
During a special meeting
last Friday councillors
discussed paving the heavily -
traveled road either with a tar
and chip surface treatment or
with asphalt. They are con-
sidering calling tenders both
ways to get comparative
costs.
, Clarence Hanna, road
superintendent, said
discussions he has had with
the county engineer indicate
the surface treatment, at a
cost of about $25,000 a mile,
would be about half as ex-
pensive as asphalt. Paving
from Highway 4 to Westfield
would cover a distance of 31/2
miles.
Mr. Hanna also said it's up
to the township to decide
which construction method to
use since the money would
have to come from its road
. budget. He indicated no
special provincial' grants
would be available ,for the
project.
The special meeting was
called to discuss and decide on
insurance proposals for the
township, and council decided
to keep its policies with Mc-
Master Insurance, Wingham,
at a saving of about $2,000 over
the proposal submitted by the
Frank Cowan Company:
East Wawanosh switched to
McMaster from, Cowan last
year when that company
submitted a lower bid for, the
policies,

LAND'S END by Kevin Starr
In his debut as a novelist,
Kevin Starr has created both a
glittering mythical history of
San Francisco and a searing
tale of sacred and profane
love. This panoramic story
also unfolds on two levels—
one 19th century, the other
20th century — which move in
counterpoint. Sebastian
Collins, old Bohemian wine -
maker, scholar of the
baroque, joins a group of
v eionary Californians who
e determined to make San
ancisco a neo-classical city.
Interwoven with this story is
that of contemporary Jareen
Norton, scholar, reluctant San
Francisco official, confused
lover and biographer of
Sebastian Collins.

U-700 by James Follett
The story of U-700, the U-

one of the most incredible of
the Second World War For the
surrender of a U-boat was
unheard of, violating as it did
the German Navy's sacred
tradition of never allowing the
enemy to set foot on board its
ahl is. At a time when the
British Navy's number one
priority was to discover the
secret of the U-boats' lethal
magnetic warheads, the

HATS AND TIES
Wednesday, January 6th,

have seen some of the strange
concoctions! Mary Ellen Gib-
son was spotted walking
around the school wearing a
dunce hat. (If the shoe fits,
wear it.) Wayne Mann sported
a fire hat with a revolving
siren on top (I wonder whose
fire he was about to put out! )
And Karen Brears wore a hat
with so many buttons on it you
could hardly see her face (It
was a relief for us all!)
All in all; it ,dicleiven up the
school life. P.S. I hope no one I
mentioned will be offended by
my remarks. Just in case, I
don't think I'll sign my name!

WHAT' DO I
DISLIKE MOST?
There is not • a single indi-
vidual (staff member or
student) in our school who has
not at sometime been guilty of
'hurting another person's feel -
ins through saying or doing
an unkind act. Yet how many
off us stop to think of how we
hurt ourselves through our
own actions: If we take pride
in breaking school rules and
policies; if we take pleasure in
deliberately disrupting
lessons' and not completing
work assignments on time; if
we snicker at presenting an
effort that is less than our
best; — who are we really
hurting? Our teachers, have
been through the system
themselves; they see right
through our fabricated hypo-
cracy! Our fellow classmates
either share in our ignorance
of reality or they have seen
through the nonsense and
waste of valuable human re-
sources that we are dis-
playing.
• It is .time for us to realize
that growing pains are mostly
imaginary, that the strange-
ness of growing up cannot be
hidden by childish activities
and alibies. What I dislike
most are the inner feelings I
have — that I am net dis-
playing the sincerely, polite,
ambitious nature of the young
adult that I will grow to be.
What I like most is the oppor-
tunity that school gives me to
try to satisfy my ambitions,
and make Me feel better about
myself — why ,don't you join
with me!?
A face in the crowd
district and then .turned the
attention of the members 'to
resolutions and the 'ac-
ceptance of responsibility. She
urged everyone to resolve to
accept the responsibility of a,
job or office when it is given
-and to do their best.
Mrs. Humphries was in-
troduced by Mrs. Lloyd
Jacques and thanked by Mrs.
Cliff Hallman.
Mrs. Harry Judge,
president, conducted the
meeting 'which opened with
the Opening Ode and 'Mary
Stewart Collect. Devotions
Were giveri by Mrs. Henry
Hohnstein. -Fourteen mem-
bers and two guests answered
the roll call, "A current event
from which I would like to
make a resolution", with a
variety of topics. -
Mrs. Lyle Murray presented
a challenging motto, "Behold
the he 'Oply makes

During the business session,
members decided to visit the
Fordwich Village Nursing
Home in late March. A letter
was read from FWIO
president, Mrs. Clarence
Diamond. An invitation to a

The meeting closed with a
