At Huronview
The Clinton Christian Reform
Church song service which is
held on the last Sunday evening
each month was well attended
last Sunday. Mr. Dick Roorda
led the service assisted by Mr.
Haviakamp.
Miss Bonnie Storey of Seaforth,
visited Huronview last Monday
afternoon and Glanced some Irish
jigs for the residents at the old
time music and dancing program.
The weather was ideal on
Wednesday for the bus trip to
Goderich and area. The two
buses with eighty residents left
Huronview at 1:30 arriving back
at 5 p.m. with stops at Les
Jervis wild life sanctuary at
Holmesviile, Benmiller, Goderic
Harbour and lighthouse point and
over to Bayfield by the fourth
concession of Goderich Township
to view the apple and peach
orchards with a short stop at
Pinelake and home by Bruce -
field.
There was a Scottish air at
the Thursday Family Night
Program provided by the people
of the Brucefield area. There,
were Scottish dances by Karen
McGregor and Sylvia Wilson;
piano solos by Bob Wilson, Mrs.
Henderson, Karen McGregor;
bag pipe numbers by Glenn
McGregor; violin, Adan Wil-
son; accordian, Linda Webster;
vocal solos, Mrs. Fred Mc-
Gregor; a chorus of four girls,
Debbie, Sharon, Carla Brodie
and Karen Davidson. Mr. Hugh
Walker, a native of Brucefield
thanked the entertainers on
behalf of the residents.
An Australian study, quoted
by the Ontario Safety League,
concludes that the risk of death
to a motorcyclist involved in a
crash wearing a helmet is red-
uced to about one-third the risk
without a helmet.

My youngest child started to
school this week. I'm afraid
my reaction to this event is
somewhat different than most
mothers experience and once
again •I'm letting myself in for.
reproof because of those feelings.
You see, most mothers say
they feel sad when their young-
ster
oun -
ster starts off for school the fijjt
time. I'm different, I'm absol-
utely delighted. To be perfecltly
honest, from the day my young-
est was born I was just waititwg
for the day when he'd be old
enough to start to school...
and thank heavens, that golden
day arrived this week.
Women who weep and wail
when their children go to school
for the first time must have
stronger attachments to their
family than I do... and to hear
my oldest tell it, /if my attach-
ments were any stronger he'd
be smothered.
I've never known what it is
to be lonely with the children
away. That's right. I have
always found many, many more
interesting things to do with my
hours than wipe runny noses and
tie shoelaces and make peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches...
and to ine, that's what having
small children around the house
means.
So when they are school age it
means that I have a few hours
each day all to myself and as
far as I'm concerned, that's pure
pleasure.
I start early in my child's
life extolling the virtues of
school. I guess you could say I
brainwash my children about
school. By the time they are
five, they are so eager to go to
school they don't have second
thoughts about the big day.
There's no tears and no prodding
to get them off to school...

they go willingly and easily.
No sweat,
I'd say I did too good a job
on my youngest child. He be-
came so anxious for school a
year ago that it became neces-
sary to implant the idea of a
nursery school in the minds of
some mothers in town so that
my son would have something
to do to fill his hours. It was a
great success, too -and with that
wonderful program Sesame

Establish lawn
with good sod
Seeding is the conventional
method of starting a new lawn.
But where seeding is unsuccessful
or unsuitable, sod is preferable.
Spring and fall are considered
the best times for sodding or
seeding as new grass roots are
produced freely then. However,
the lawn can be started at any
time in between.
Sod is more expensive than
seed but it establishes the lawn
more quickly. It is best used
for terraces and steep slopes or
on frequently used bare or thin
spots. Obtain good quality sod
from a farmer specializing in
fine, weed -free turf.
Before laying the sod, prepare
a moist soil bed and apply super-
phosphate to encourage root
growth. Sods should be joined
end to end without overlap, cut
and laid to fit perfectly. Start
at the bottom of a slope and
lay strips horizontally, working
upwards. Horticulturists with
the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture and Food advise stag-
gering the joints to prevent
washing or erosion.

winter and spring just fine.
A couple of weeks ago, we
took our annual trip into the
big city to buy back -to -school
clothes. It isn't my custom,
mind you, to go shopping in
the city. It is simply that I
feel my children should have
one outing in a large business
area more for development
purposes than anything else.
I wish you could have seen
my youngest son as he strutted
through the aisles looking for
school clothes. He was so co-
operative, so interested, that
I patted myself on the back
because of the thoroughly conv-
incing sales pitch I had given
him about school.
And now comes the best part
of all. When it comes eight
o'clock at night I say to him,
"Into bed son. School tomorrow;"
And he goes, without a whimper,
because school has become a
passion with him.
Bath -time is a joy, too.
"Your teacher expects little
boys to be clean, " I tell my son
as I scrub his face. "She espec-
ially likes to see clean ears, "
I added as I dig into the crevices
which have brought screams of
. terror on other occasions.
And tooth brushes. Tooth
brushes have become necessary
items to my son who just a few
days ago hardly knew where to
find his.
"Look mommy, " he cries,
clenching his teeth together and
showing me his biggest grin.
"White Huh?"
And that's just part of the
change that occurs when a child
gets all charged up about going
to school. IIe starts to listen
more and talk less; to sit more
and Jump less; to eat more and
pick less; to wait more and
hurry less.
I think it is wonderful what '
school can do for a child, not to
mention what it does for mother.
That's why I shed no tears
when my youngest goes off to
school for the first time. He's
taking his first steps to becoming
a man and I'm all for that. Who
would want to keep a little boy
small, helpless and ignorant all
his life when he can go to
school, grow up, become indep-
endent, get wiser... and leave
mom free to enjoy her life more.
Don't
depend
on.

The U. S. Federal Highway
Administration says that by
the time the Inter -state
Highway System is finished in
1979, it will have saved
motorists some $45 billion in
fuel use and tire wear because
of reduced stops and starts.
If you have your own tire
gauge, be sure of its accuracy
by checking it against your
service station's gauge.
Among the most common
causes of backfire are a lean
fuel mixture in a cold engine,
sticky valves, or ignition
leakage.
Safest major toll road in the
U. S. last year — the Garden
State Parkway in New Jersey.
Newly licensed drivers -in
France are not permitted to
exceed 55 mph during their
first year, and must sport
large signs on their cars which
say so.

cars, you'll want to wear a sign
