(Wassink photo) THE JUNCTION THE HURON EXPOSITOR, DECEMBER 19,, 1984 - C5 1 It's Christmas -bah humbug BY DOIUS GLANVILLE It's Christmas time once again (oh joy, oh bliss). Do 1 seem rather 'scroogey'? Forgive me. I sometimes forget that the true definition of peace, love and joy is stuffing yourself until you can't walk, shopping on Dec. 24 with three million kids in a shopping mall, (did I omit screaming?), kissing relatives and being reunited with the part of your family whom you don't see all year (and for a good reason.) Explain to me the sense in spending your last $20 on a chain for your boyfriend (which he refuses to wear); and leaving fattening goodies out for a man who obviously does not need them. I guess I am taking on an "un-Christmas- sy" attitude. Really, I'm not as scroogey as I seem. We got our Christmas tree this week, rl came home one evening, and there it was. F r a moment, I thought I was in the wrong living room. In case you didn't read my Christmas story last year, or you don't know my family Basket.aH Is The Seaforth Distr'ct High School first sport season has, with the participation of our senior girl's basketball squad in the OFFSA tournament, officially came to a close. In action this fall were cross country running, junior and senior boys volleyball. and midget, junior and senior girls basketball teams. intimately, even remotely, there is some information that must be passed along before I continue. Never, in the entire history of this Glanville family have we ever had anything even resembling a Christmas tree. There- fore, it didn't seem natural to find a gorgeous six footer in front of our livingroom window, glistening with snow, bushy and broad. , 1 could almost swear on the Bible that in years past, my family walked into a bush, and selected the first green thing in sight. Usually it stood five feet high, (when father finished with it, three feet high). "We'll just trim one more branch.,,.twelve branches later) and wore a sign that said "pick me". I'm deformed ugly, and no one in their right mind would want to take me home." Of course, as soon as we cut it down we would notice the sign on its back - "Thanks sucker!" With the "posting" of our tree, along came the gifts, on display beneath. Our black cat, rather possessive, took a liking ter the brightly wrapped parcels, and has taken vigil on them. He thinks they all belong to him. They don't. preL'Ier spor The members have theoretically taken a firmer hold on their academic studies while the winds of winter take a•firmer hold on the country. The volleyball teams, while not bringing home plaques to hang outside the office wall, were very competitive and only narrowly missed the play-off rounds in both the I i- • REG.

It is rather heart -breaking when you have to drag a man of his age and stature, sobbing and kicking out from under the Christmas tree. It becomes quite embarrassing also, when the company has to get down on the livingroom floor on their hands and knees in order to even speak to the man. After he's setup camp under the tree, it's difficult to tear him away. I noticed a sleeping bag sitting out yesterday. I hope he can hold off for a couple more days, as I was 'planning on having friends over this weekend. 1 guess I could tell them the reason why he is living under the Christmas tree is because he's not my Dad, buta computerized robot. Naw, it'd never work. You know, I can still remember the year we told him that there was no Santa, it nearly broke tiis heart. The poor guy wouldn't eat for days, we thought he was going to hunger strike. We ended up telling him we were only joking around. He didn't laugh. t at SDHS Huron -Perth conference and the WOSSA tournament. Cross-country running, not a glamourous sport at the best of times, is a team that's always short of members. individual honors were attained, however, as many runners qualified for WOSSA by finishing in the top 10 for their category in the Huron -Perth meet. Basketball, the premier sport of the school, received a welcome boost in Sept. when about 30 girls signed up for the sport. There were enough players to form three teams, instead of the usual two of previous years. Even though the records of the midget and junior teams could not be described as triumphant, the players received the valuable experience which will transform them into skilled competitors when they reach the senior level. As is common knowledge, the 1584 senior girls have completed yet another successful campaign. They earned a third place finish in Huron -Perth by winning eight of 10 regular season games. They were eliminated in the semi-finals by Stratford Northwestern who scored a tie -breaking foul shot in the final second of the play-off game. Not yet content to hang up their basketball shoes, they travelled to WOSSA and persevered against incredible odds by beating heavily favored teams and captured the crown for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year. An appearance at OFFSA provided a rifting conclusion to their schedule. They emerged as winners from the first two games but were eliminated in the third and failed to attain ranking status in .the tournament, Thus ended the girls' 1984 basketball season.

Dr. Ingham emphasized the necessity of Treating the person. not the disease and said The three basic kinds of quality of life were the physical, mental and spiritual. Regarding the physical. he said that our perception of pain can determine the degree of pain. It is now known that the brain develops a substance That counteracts pain. He said morphine administered in proper dosage for extreme pain in the terminally ill is not addictive. As for the mental aspect of the dying, Dr. Ingham said, "We have become a death -dc• fving society... It is uv" -.ant to bring the nature of the discal open because people are surer le of handling their condi• ton lnln6 . he said. "contrary to what men believe. is not a sign of weakness.
