Have Hallowe'en fun safely It's October 31, the early part of the evening. Supper is over and the dishes are still in the sink. The children are getting their bits and pieces of costumes together, and Mom's trying to find some old makeup she doesn't use any more. Outside there is a chill. The sun is down; a mist is settling in the trees. It's a perfect night for Hallowe'en. When the kids go out this year, it's going to be a little different. You walk down the road. They are ahead of you. On Hallowe'en they are always faster than you are. At a spot by a bend in the road, near the little stand of pine trees where the mist is lingering and moon shadows are sprinkled on the ground, you see a shadowy figure glide back into the darkness. He seems to be wearing very dark clothes: a high - neck tunic, leather belt and tall helmet, just like an old- time policeman. It must be a trick of the mists and shadows, you tell yourself, but you're still not certain. Do you want a second opinion? Here it is. What you saw was the spirit of the Old-time policeman. He comes out on Hallowe'en and walks his old beat, watching to see that the youngsters have a safe evening. The Ontario Provincial Police have some recom- mendations for a safe Hallowe'en. Here are some of them : —Use makeup on the children ; a mask cuts down on their vision. —A car driver cannot see a black witch on a dark night. Get the children to wear light-colored costumes, bright patches or fluorescent stripes. Carrying a flashlight is a good idea., —Tell the Youngsters to go only to houses with lights on inside. —Have an • adult • go out with the children. The old-time policeman is going to be with them — in spirit anyway. He'll be looking to see whether the little hobgoblins and super- men are following his ad- vice. So if you see that dark figure with the tall helmet, it may be just a good spirit drifting in and out of the ,shadows, not a .trick of the moonlight and mist • • Fordwich WI hears talk on Year of Disabled Persons FORDWICH — More than 30 WI members and guests enjoyed Glen Findlay, a part-time resident of Ford- wich, speak to them on his work with a Grade 8 class for the deaf at Milton. This school for the blind, deaf and disabled has been enlarged to include a high school for normal children and it is connected to the original school. Glen, with the aid of his wife as well as music, taped commentary, two screens and three projectors, showed the school construction, from its beginning to completion. The grounds are enormous for all outdoor activities. The building houses classrooms, a gym, auditorium, cafeteria and swimming pool The children • range in age from five years to young people in their 20s. They participate in dancing, drama, sports, swimming, fashion shows, even a balloon ride. Glen Findlay's enthusiasm for his work with his pupils, who are mostly deaf, clearly shows as he talks and ex- plains their Slower learning ability. He uses sign language and gestures to convey the lessons and speaks distinctly, looking at the children so they can read his lips. It can be a reward- ing job but also frustrating as some are blind and others are going blind, But Glen enjoys his job thoroughly and contributes a great deal as teacher at the school. Mr. Findlay was thanked and lunch was served so he and his wife could return to Acton that evening. Devotions were conducted by Miss Elva Foster. Roll call was "Something you can do personally for a disabled person". The motto, "Resolve to dream a little, work a lot and make the most of what ' you've got", was capably given by Mrs. J. Freeman with, illustrations and stories front news- papers. She narrated the stories of• different disabilities, people without arms, blind, deaf, etc.., and what these people ac- complish despite their handicaps. Her closing motto was a 114Sen to be learned from the han- dicapped: "Take a step one by one, each task that you do", • adtaemsT* '(( 44 Ri NEED YOU" was the theme of tie 42nd annual convention of the Guelph area Women's Institute held last Thursday and Friday in Brussels.

Career Week urges youth to examinecareer choices "A Step Toward To- volVed, and local employer's' are encouraged to invite stu- dents to their work sites. "People d� the best job and lead more satisfying lives when they are engaged in work which Matches their interests and training," commented Phil Gillies, parliamentary assistant responsible for the Ontario Youth 'Secretariat, "Events .such as career week are designes.ttirthwtisetstiorg-- people explore careers where they can be segsfied• and productive." morrow" is the theme for Ontario Career Week 1981, to be held Nov. 2-8. Sponsored by the Ontario Youth Secretariat, career week is an awareness campaign designed to help young people understand the im- portance of considering the more than 7,000 job options 'ayeileblet in Ontario. ' tintari6VaTgeriarV partikehnida 'Career Week,' which is held simultaneously across the nation. "The emphasis in this year's career week is on broadening career horizons," explained Margaret Birch, provincial ,secretary for social develop- ment. "As a result, students are being encouraged to use Career week for exploration, as an opportunity to take a serious lOok at third and fourth career choice's rather than concentrating only on what they believe at the mo- ment to be their favorite eccupations." In addition, a great deal of • emphasis is being placed on examining roles that are truly non-traditional. With six out of ten women in the work force for up to 30 years, and the limited opportunities for both men and women in certain' sectors, young people are having to search out occupations they might not have examined previously. The emphasis this year is on broadening career horizons. This is being in- terpreted in two distinct ways. First, students are en- couraged to use career week for exploration and are being asked to look beyond their first and second choices in Careers. Second, they are en- couraged to look at non- traditional roles. Women, particularly, are being encouraged to consider a much broader spectrum of jobs than in the'past. Since 1981 is the Inter- national Year of Disabled PerSons, the week is placing special emphasis on op- portunities for the disabled, It should help to make every- one aware he or she has something to learn from disabled persons who have matched their strengths with career choices. "Ontario Career Week works because everyone in Ontario becomes involved by contributing their own ideas and time," Mrs. Birch said. "Whether you are a parent, a professional or a concerned citizen, you an contribute. Talk to a teacher, principal or guidance head at your local school or community college." A wide range of eom- mutiny organizations is being asked to become in - veiypmvuirx, the Huron CQUntj Ele- ' it . „ meiwtary.......,,;:;0)000.,iidaSy. . . :30.. , f9 seAnnt, tea pit..., acti I , r - Stt , :4 ttint,'"pf , lina. schools,.. i•'`,I;;;* 0.411, Ott ‘4*Allt- 0400) :!"`,101 MRS.
