Do we thank God just for the seemingly good things and ignore or complain about the more worrisome things? In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we read, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you," Is this exhortation out of this world or is it possible? First, we must remember that this command was given to Christians, Non -Christians were not being asked to thank God, only those who had personally received Jesus as the Christ and as their own Saviour and Lord. How can we as Christians give thanks in everything? Let me share with you three basic ways. 1) We believe that in everything God is working for good with those who love him and are called according to his purpose in Christ, (Romans 8:28) We believe that God is in control of the universe and life . and docs not allow or cause anything to h appen or exist that dose not serve a purpose within his plan. For example, in 1 Corinthians 10:13, we have the promise that God will not let us be tempted beyond our strength to resist, In other words, God is controlling the temptations to which we re exposed. When we know that God is in control and is working for our good then we can begin to give Him thanks in everything. ' 2) We believe in God as our 1 :her in heaven who knows, c .res and provides for us in perfect love and wisdom. On at least one occasion, the disciples of Jesus were worrying about food and clothing and Jesus said to them, "Your heavenly Father knows taht you need these things.But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well," (Matthew 6:32.33) The most important thing in life is to know God and do His will. Then, can we have complete trust in His care for us and begin to thank Him in everything. 3) The most basic reason for giving thanks is our salvation in Christ Jesus, Through receiving him by faith as a gift, we have forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God and eternal life, The emptiness and meaninglesness of life without God is gone. We have a real purpose of living; joy and peace overwhelms our heart. And in everything we want to thank and praise God for that is His will for us in Christ Jesus(' If you w,nt the joy of living and of being a le to give thanks in all circumstances, ask Jesus to come into your life and fill you with His Spirit. Y ou can do it wherever you are. Then, begin living for Him and you • will- discover something of what it means to thank God in everything, BUSINESS DIRECTORY OLD MILL IN BLYTH Factory Outlet Brinton Limited, Blyth WINTER HOURS: Monday • Thursday 9.6 Fri.9.9 Sun.1 -6 Sat.9.6 TOM DUIZER Plumbing & Heating Oil Burner Sales -Service Installation and Motor Repair Myer's Pressure Systems & Water Conditioning Equipment Sheet Metal Work LONDESBORO ONT.

Most Canadian manufacturers expect 40 percent of Canadian housing to be solar heated by the year 2001 whereas provincial government and utility officials anticipate that only 10 percent of all h omes will be solar heated by that same date. Why the difference? - Today in Canada there are less than 100 solar heated homes. Although there has been a forest of studies done on the subject of solar heated homes there has been no hard research to go with the studies. In general the strongest barriers to larger, useful investments in solar energy appear to lie within the government itself. Agreed it is • hard enough now to apply solar heating methods to existing, badly insulated, imperfectly oriented houses in a region crowded with tall trees or tall neighbouring buildings. There is also another drawback to this most economical system and that is the heat supplied covers between 30 and 60 percent of the heating needs for an average house. So a back up system is required and an electrical one is usually the cheapest to install. But thousands of solar homes in a given area, using electricity only on cold, cloudy days would force the local utility to invest in equipment that would be used just . a few times a year. The result would be special high electric rates for solar -heated homes. A possible solution is to have solar -home owners turn on the power only during the utility's off peak hours, and use this electricity to heat up their storage systems. Since the sun is a free source of energy in our fuel short world it would be hard to monitor the intake of energy to each home and the local public utilities would be hard pressed to tax the energy used, in order to make money to pay for necessary equipment. There are many other hurdles ahead of us. First among them stand the questions of cost, durability,' and performance. In an industry so n ew, durability is hard to predict, but it is assumed that a good system will last 20! years. There is also the cost question. One must weigh the purchase price plus interest, yearly maintenance expenses against the savings the system yields In fuel or electric bills. The crucial question is this. Will we have • enough fuel in say January of 1985? If the government is hesitant in sponsoring any hard research in to this easier method of maintaining our power supply, they had better take another careful look into the dangers of nuclear fission. There is not only our health to consider but the ,health of every country in the world at stake if nuclear power plants are encouraged.• f We as concerned citizens must speak up for a safe, energy conscious future and make our voices heard to our government representatives. Solar heating may be one place to start. TEMi THE HURON CouN1 V BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL EquIP ONE CLASSROOM IN EP,CN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Ai A FRENcH LAN6UhCC CLASSROOM. KEV .pIDN'T ASK us WHA? we WANTED • INTH(RE SNOUGD HAVE 'SEES) A REFERENDUM. (ByKcith Roulston ) It was one of our usual dreary Saturdays, the kind of day that's fit only for sleeping or reading or watching television. After supper I sat down and leafed through the Saturday papers and came across an article by Mayor Moore, actor, writer, professor and jack of all trades in the Canadian art scene. Mr: Moore was debunking the opinion of some that all that is wrong with unity in Canada could be fixed with a simple upswing in the Canadian economy. "Give him a job with equal pay (runs the argument), see that he's well housed and fed and that his town and province have a big enough .slice of the pork barrel, and you can bet you won't hear any more about language, culture, identity, independence and all that nonsense -- which in any case (jsome would add) are only pious frauds used as leverage to blackmail the rest of us," says Mr. Moore in his article. The complaints, Mr, Moore went on to say, are more cultural than economic in base. It will not be r the economists who save Canada, if it is to be saved, Mr. Moore argued. He quoted Sas- katchewan Premier Allan Blakely who recently called for a "sense of Canada", Blakely said "This idea may be helped or hindered by p-oliticians, but it will be cheated by writers and singers and artists of every 'description, Its medium will be the channels of communication which we, as politicians and lawyers, can help to maintain," Mr. Moore's article was a Dreary Saturdays strong argument for the role of the artist in society. Too often, he said, people tend to regard things cultural as merely "frills", the first things to get the axe when a budget needs trimming along with things like medical research, athletics and even study or our own history. He argued instead that these things will ultimately decide whether Canada stays together or not because if a country doesn't have a sense of identity, a feeling of a personality that sets it apart from all others, then what future is there? This theme of the importance of the artist was reinforced for me later that evening when I switched on the television for a special program on the work of the great American popular composer Richard Rogers. I listened to that music for a while and marvelled at the skill of the man who for 50 y ears or more created many of the songs American people were singing. And I wondered, which achievement of the powerful United States of America was more important; the gigantic technological and financial effort needed to put a man on the moon, or the work of one single genius, Richard Rogers. I tend to think in the long run that Rogers will leave more effect on the personality of his nation than the millions of people who worked on that space program, Why should it be so hard for Canadians to understand the need for a feeling of uniqueness that the Quebecois are fighting to maintain and build? If, as some argue, economics are all that matter, that the bigger the paycheque the better, then why hasn't the rest of Canada joined the U.S•long before now? Right now down in the U.S, a few people have formed a new political party called the American Expan- sionist party, or something li k� that. One of the party's platforms has been the annexation of Canada. Quite a number of people in Canada have become upset over the very idea. Yet from a straight logical sense, it would probably be a good mood. It won't happen, however, because Canadians want a nation of their own, not just a better standard of living. So it's hard to understand how people outside Quebec (or the Maritimes or the West for that matter) can fail to see the similarities within their own country. We here in Western Onario are just as guilty. We become angered by government actions from Toronto and from the way we're dominated by the city way of doing things and the city way of thinking, y et we fail to sec that people in Quebec and elsewhere can h ave the same kind of grievances against the rest of Canada as a whole. Faced locally without fight to preserve a rural way of life, weve been developing our own culture, with a new pride in local history exhibited through books and museums, a new interest in local art, and theat res that show things from the rural perspective, The Quebecois have done the same with the result that they have a far stronger artistic community than the rest of Canada with their own movies, their own television stars and singers who can pack thousands into concert halls for weeks on end English Canada, not feeling so endangered, has developed little in the way of an artistic life at all, The tragedy is that: while the arts may be our saviour, it's also responsible for a good deal of the problem. The failure of the arts, particularly television and radio, to br eak down the wall of (Continued on Page 20) AUBURN NEWS Bureau editor: MRS, ELEANOR BRADNOCK The 26th Annual Huron County Womens Institute Rally was held in the Howick Community Centre with Lakelet Womens Institute in charge of registration.

To help motorists deal with car repair problems, your Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations has prepared special stickers giving tips on "How to get the most from your car repair dollar." Car manufacturers and dealers have been asked to distribute them to purchasers of new cars and the stickers are available from the Ministry. Here are the car repair tips: • If your car warranty still applies, review it carefully and determine , exactly who pays for what. • Check your Owner's Manual; you may find the solution to your problem right • there. • Be specific when describing the problem to your serviceman and don't be afraid to ask questions. • Ask for an estimate before proceeding with major repairs. Make sure all work is authorized by you and never sign a blank work order. • Get full details on repair work warranties (parts and labour). If you feel that you have been misled or deceived, you may appeal under The Business Practices Act. Your Provincial Government wants you to know what your rights are under The Business Practices Act.

Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say it's a valuable source of information, Whether the apples are in baskets or bags, you can expect to find a grade marking, variety name, and name and address of the packer on the label, The majority of apples in the store will be Canada Fancy Grade. The grade is determined _by colour, maturity, shape and absence of defects. Small -one Grade may also be available. This grade is comparable to Canada Extra Fancy in quality, but the apples are smaller in size. Canada Cee Grade is agood choice for cooking, when size, shape, and colour are not important.

The indirect Toss resulting in unemployment and loss of production is said to be five times that. Children, the principal victims of many fires, should never be left alone. Smoke and gas can•snuff their lives in a very short time. If a babysitter is left with the children, he or she should be aware of all exits in case of an emergency. Hold a family meeting. Prepare an escape plan in the event of a fire. If possible have y our baby-sitter present. The plan that you formulate may make the difference between life and death. If you have a fire extinguisher, which everyone should have, it is imperative that every adult member of the house should know how to operate it, and its location. Make sure that it is in working condition and that it is easily accessible. Fire extingui- shers must be ready to use when needed in an emergency. On many occasions, people living in rural areas call the wrong fire department when fire is discovered, This causes unnecessary delay, sometimes resulting in the Toss of a building. Ewell individual householder should make sure what fire department they are to call and this should not be left till an emergency. Remember your arca fire department and the number. Tips for fire prevention ELECTRICAL FUSES — Use 15 ampere fuse for ordinary circuits. Never plug blown fuses with pennies nor replace with oversize fuses. Keep extra fuses on hand. CHARCOAL BARBECUES — Do not use in confined areas or buildings. ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES — Check cords regularly . Replace if breaks or fraying appear. ELECTRIC IRONS — Always disconnect before leaving them. GAS TUBING Replace with rigid pipe. GAS PLATES - Protect underneath with asbestos covered with metal, OIL BURNERS — Use only equipment that has been approved by the Underwriters' Laboratory Inc. or the Canadian St andards Association. Look for the approval label. OPEN LIGHTS, LAMPS — Do not have near curtains or com- bustible material. OIL MOPS, OILY RAGS — Keep mop in. closed metal can. Destroy rags. They ignite spon- taneously, DECORATIONS — Do not place flimsy or combustible decora- tions over electric light globes or near open lights or heaters. REMEMBER — A careful person seldom has a fire; a clean orderly place seldom burns. The above recommendations arc based on fire department records showing the most frequent causes of fires. Your local Fire Chief will appreciate your co-operation in the obser• vance of these recommen- dations. After a call is placed, it is a good idea to wait for the fire department at the front of the property at the road, because sometimes departments find it difficult to find the place. Also, note that you shouldn't hesitate to call the fire department except in the case of the smallest fires which can be put out by the people in the building. When you call the fire department give your name and address first in case the call is cut short by the flames, Remember, in spite of all precautions, you may have a fire, so it pays to know what to do, when the need arises. Is your home, office, business, or other buildings that you may have an interest in, safe from fire? Have you checked the following: Is your house clean and tidy or has trash accumulated? If it has, get rid of it today. How Smiles Motorist filling out an accident report: "1 was backing out of a parking space and by the time I backed out far enough to see what was coming, it already had." about your electric wiring? Is It safe? Are you using the proper fuses? Get rid of frayed electric cords. Have them replaced. Don't smoke in bed, Smoking is• one of the major causes of fires. What about the heating system. Are the pipes safe? Is the Chimney in good condition? Have you had your furnace cleaned? Nothing can be more terrifying than a flash fire in the home, especially because it strikes in the mast innocent way.

At Blyth Public School Fire safety is stressed It's fire prevention week across the country and David Lee of the Blyth Fire Department was at the Blyth Public School assembly on Friday to discuss tire safety measures. A film showing various. fire hazards was shown at the assembly. Mr. Lee discussed the film with the children and then gave a demonstration on the various fire extinguishers including a chemical extinguisher a water extinguisher, and baking soda, The assembly was also a lesson in metric conversion with the classes putting on skits about the new system.

(It still would have been about three years too late.) No nine-year-old girl should be romping nude with her father. There's some subconscious seduction going on. A heart-to- heart talk with a counselor should set your husband straight. If this situation is not resolved soon, get ready for real trouble later. Dear Ann: Who can a person trust anymore? How can the average citizen tell the different between legitimate medical practices and quacks --with all the glowing promises of better health and more vitality through high- powered vitamins? What about the ads urging you to "get more out of your sex life with gadgets 1.1 and aphrodisiacs?" 1t all sounds so good, but is it? I'd appreciate some clues. --Flying Blind Dear Flying: The first line of defense is your physician. If you do not have a regular doctor, call the County Medical Society.

Unemployment and inflation are up. Housing is scarce and mighty expensive, The idiots in Ulster are still blowing each other up. The various pipeline debates go on and on. And everybody is scared stiff that Quebec will separate. Boring, boring, boring. It becomes difficult to remain a positive, concerned citizen of this country of ours when the daily news is nothing but bad, Madness and senseless violence and fear of involve- ment seem to be all about us. It's highly doubtful that any Canadian hockey club can beat the Russians. Toronto Argonauts and Toronto Blue Jays are the worst teams in their respective leagues. My friends are getting old and sick. I have to have a tooth extracted tomorrow. And the bricks on nay house arc crumbling, just like my teeth. Just try to keep a stiff upper lip when you haven't any teeth with which to stiffen it. Canadian women are living 'six and a half years more than Canadian men, Juvenile delinquency is increasing at the rate of 6,3 per cent annually, And my bursitis is playing hell with my shoulder. Taxes in Canada are higher than they are in Britain. Two guys trying to fly the Atlantic in a balloon ditched in the sea near Iceland, And some poor turkey, fishing in the 'Niagara River, was drowned when his tackle -box fell in and he jumped after it. He probably had a mickey of rye in it. Another big (really big) cabinet minister resigns from the government, George Chuvalo at 40, wants one last tight. A CBC drama shows Alberta and Ottawa getting a royal screwing from U.S.-based oil companies. And my wife wants to buy a whole lot of new furniture for the living room, despite the fact that the stuff we have is only 30 years old, and perfectly good, if you like leaning lamps and rump -spring chairs. We've got enough natural gas to last us for years, but we won't be able to afford it. The weather is absolutely rotten. So is my car, which is about to disintegrate in a cloud of rust -dust, should anyone give it a kick. In Quebec, the English-speaking are taking a hosing, while in the rest of the country, various guys called Goyer, Chretien, Lalonde and Trudeau arc telling' us what to think. And I never did get the stain on my picnic table. Nothing much wrong with the big banks, of course. There never is. Why, one of them has slashed its interest rate on loans for new cars from 13.5 to 12.5 interest. Quelle benevolence!

I can buy a Turbo Commander executive jet that will Fly Above The WEather, for only $160,000, Trade or finance. I think I might have to finance that one. Ottawa recently floated a bond issue of one billion dollars with remarkable ease. Authorities are "enthralled" with the ease• with which the bonds were sold. Why not, they say, cut personal taxes and cover the enlarged deficit with increased borrowing? Why not, indeed? They only have a debt now of six and a half billion dollars. Peanuts, What in the name of all that is weird has happened to this country in the last three decades? We came out of World War II with a proud war record and fourth in the world in gross national product. We have a surging economy, a vibrant industrial health, and all those natural resources. We were united and free and strong. The future was rosy. Thirty odd years later, we can't sell our products because our prices are too high. We have one of the worst records in the world for industrial and civil strikes. Our postal system is rotten, Our railways don't carry passengers. Factories arc closing down right and left. The Maritimes are a disaster area. And Quebec is practically dictating its own terms, with a shattered Dominion in the offing. Maybe we came too quickly out of the national short pants and into the overalls. Maybe we got greedy and lazy and soft. Maybe we had third-rate leadership that sold out our water and our energy and out other natural resources for interim political prestige. Whatever happened, we have something very close to a national disaster on our hands. Our dollars are weak. Our young people have little faith in the future. Our middle-aged are suspicious and cynical. Our system is riddled with the worst aspects of bureaucracy. Thirty years ago, I'd have said to any of my many friends from the Commonwealth; Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Rhodesia, "Come to Canada; that's where the future is; greatest country in the world." I'd have difficulty in pronouncing those words today. I could say we have the best unemployment premiums in the world, great health plans. But there's not much room here now to build a future. Pity. During the past week OPP at Wingham detachment conducted twenty seven investigations. Ten charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act with twenty warnings issued, One charge was laid under the Liquor Licence Act. Seven charges were laid under the Criminal Code of Canada. During the week, there were four motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $3500.00 in property damage and injuries to one person.

Yet, we must realize that they were important, and still are, however old or senile they may be, Even if they can't remember proud lot, and they still deserve to what day of the week it is, or be treated with respect and whether it's snowing or sunny dignity. outside, many still have a clear Some may argue that the memory of "the good old days," aged are in their second child- hood and should be treated as less than children. They find it disgusting to see someone who was once a dignified and brilliant person do such degrading things as spill their food, or forget to put in their false teeth. But, they are not children, They have contri- buted greatly to society in their productive years and hive been somebodies in years gone by to their husbands or wives, their children, their sweethearts, and to their many, many friends. I feel Nothing could be better for their sore back or upset stomach than having someone spend time with them and open the pages of their minds. Who else but our senior citizens have been through two world wars, the depression, and countless other important events in our country's history?

Here, Doctor Richard Hasselback (left), a hematologist from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto and guest speaker for the evening, meets Mrs. Ted Davies, the new Unit president and Chester Archibald, the Unit's past president. Dr. Hasselback spoke mainly about cancer research and also touched on the controversial subject concerning the drug laetrile, a drug that he says is making the quacks rich. (Goderich Signal -Star Photo) 1000 ml 1 C (litre) SNELL'S FOOD MARKET Huron raises $48,000 for cancer The Huron County Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society raised $48,293,75 during its annual Campaign in April, according to a report presented in the Unit's annual meeting in Goderich recently. The amount was 31.7 percent higher than the campaign objective of $35,000 , A total of $66,877.02 was raised between October 1976 and September 1977, the report said, The money is used to support cancer research and the society's education and patient • service programs. Guest speaker at the Unit's annual meeting was Dr, Richard Hassclback, a hematologist from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, who told the gorup about cancer research. Approximately 30 per cent of all cancer deaths are preventable and thereis good reason to think that 80 percent arc preventable, he said, Research has determined that environmental factors are responsible for certain types of cancer, Dr. Hasselback said but lag time makes the job of looking for specific causes difficult, This NO NEED 70 CHASE FOOD BARGA/NS! 7NEYi?I ALL HERE SCHNEIDER'S QUALITY MEATS: All Varieties, WE I N ERS 1 lb. pkg. 4 x 4 oz. 1 Ib.

At the very least this time is about five years. It usually averages about 25 years and determing what a person might have been exposed to years ago that would cause cancer today isn't easy, he said, The lag times can be reduced when laboratory mice are used, Dr, Hassclback said, These nice are exposed to chemicals suspected of causing cancer. The time between their exposure to the chemical and the development of cancer, is six to nine months, he said. But it costs about $65,000 to test one chemical and there arc 40,000 new chemicals being produced in the world every day, Dr. Hassclback said. Researchers have narrowed down the number of chemicals tested with the knowledge that chemicals causing nutation are commonly associated with cancer, Researchers have also discovered that there are certain chemicals in the gastro tract which cause cancer. These chemicals, says Dr. Hassclback, come from either meat or fats. The countries that get cancers caused by these chemicals have diets high in meat and fats. Dr. Hasselback maintains that, "we've got diseagcs that can be prevented but we have to change our lifestyles to do it." He says our dietary patterns must change to include more vegetables and whole grain cereals and less meat and fats, he also advocates more exercise for Canadians, Lu ng cancer is 95 per cent preventable if smokers give up smoking, he said. Among doctors there are 19 per cent fewer smokers now than there were ten years ago. "This shows that doctors believe in what they're saying (about lung 'cancer)," Dr. Hassclback said. He also talked about cli nical research involving cancer patients. Groups of patients may be• given different types of treatments so that the groups can be compared to sec which treatment works better. Both treatments will improve the patients'. condidtion but it is a matter of finding out which one will help more, said . Dr. Hassclback, "we are not offering treatments which don't work," he said, "but just seeing which one works best." For clinical research such as this, the patients' consent and co-operation is needed. On the contrary surrounding the drug laetrile which some say is a cure for cancer, Dr. Hassclback stated emphatically that it is not a cure, He said when there is no simple_treu`ment for a disease, there will always be quacks who try to make money with miracle cures. He said these quacks getter ate millions of dollars a year in business which could go to better use, Laetrile has no value whatsoever and there is no date to support it ," he said. In the business part of the cancer dinner meeting the following slate of officers for 1977.78 were elected to the Huron Unit: Mrs, Ted Davies, president; Harold Knisley, Vice -President; Chester, Archibald, past President; Mrs, Dorothy Johnston, secretary; Harry Merriman, treasurer; Ross McDaniel, campaign chairman; Jim Remington and LeenRehorst, vice-chairmen; Miss Catherine Plumtree, commemoration funds; Mrs. Freda Slade and Mrs. Grace Castle, education co -convenors; Dr. C.F.Doorly, medical advisor; Chester Archibald, planning, developing and nominating; Howard Aitken, publicity; Mrs, Laura Anstett, service to patients; Mrs Shirley Mills, supply convenor; Mrs. Grace Forbes, mastectomy convenor; Mrs. Ted Davies, representative to division board of directors; and Chester Archibald, Mrs. Ted Davies and Harold Knislcy, delegates to district council. An education report of the Huron Unit for 1976.77 said the Unit had contacted all the elementary schools in Huron County urging them to make use of the Celly and Smoking Awareness Films and programs which the Cancer Society had provided. The report also said the main .effort for the year was to have film nights to teach the early detection of breast cancer. These film nights were held in Exeter, Clinton and Goderich and a ;panel was available to answer questions. LET US MAKE YOUR OLD FURNITURE; BETTER THAN NEW!

Another distinctive sound of The CBS network in the U.S. the 1950s, even before rock 'n' was responsible for the roll came on the scene, came from production which was videotaped the multi -guitar sound of Les Paul and Mary Ford, -whose hits like "The world Is Waiting for the Sunrise", "How High the Moon" and "Mockingbird 'Hill" are still being played and hummed. It was Les and his wife who first used the advanced recording technique in Omaha, Nebraska, and Rapid I City, South Dakota. Those were only two cities covered in a tour during, the summer before Elvis returned to his Memphis home, Graceland, where he died in August. Elvis was the King for many reasons. He was the forerunner of a group of singers who tried to emulate him but never came close. Throughout his career he sold over 500 million singles and albums, more than any other recording star. He has had 55 singles that were million se Iters world-wide and 24 gold albums. And of course,' his movies packed theatres all around the world, not because they were good moVies but because Elvis was in them. Perhaps the main reason people loved him, though, came from his father during an interview on "Elvis in Concert" - "He never changed". He remained the same boy that was raised in Tennessee, loyal to his parents and friends, faithful to his God and true to his country. He got to Hollywood but never let Hollywood get to him. In his last concert tour, he sang a lot of good songs. And though he was no gospel singer, many of his number's proved he still had the old talent. In fact, he had never sounded better. But he was not the Elvis we remember. Perspiring profusely, his enter- taining seemed like hard work rather than enjoyment. His eyes were puffy and swollen, his face unnaturally bloated. Even without 'knowing his future, we might have said he looked ill. In an emotion packed speech at the end of the production, Vernon Presley thanked all his son's fans and friends for sympathy expressed following Elvis' death and said the family would try to answer most of the letters. And when there was nothing more to Hullett School election held Student Council On September 29, a students' council election was held at Hullett Central School.
