Second Kids as the KOdou ���wg © on°beat VI@®wg BY PATRICIA RIMIER Kids are great! They ask silly questions, do naughty things and all in all can be a pain in the neck at times... but they're great. At this time of year I notice this the most. Justtake a look at a four-year-old watching the Santa Claus parade. His eyes will light up, his nose will turn red and perhaps, if you're lucky, he'll tap his tweet in time to the bands. All the while, he'll be saying such things as "i'm cold", "Where's Santa Claus?" "What's that Mom?" or an excited Look Mom!". The whole idea of Christ- mas is exciting to everyone, but especially kids. The lights, music, decorations and atmosphere. Being a member of the SDHS Trum- pet Band, 1 witness this excitement every time we play in a parade. The smiles, !oaks of astonishment and the giggles are typical of the children we see. However, as you know, all children are not sweet and smiley. Some throw snowballs at the band, others plug their ears but all of`these things are accepted because kids are kids. The things kids do are so simple, yet so complex. Surely, you can remember several instances when you did "kid stuff" when you were young. Take for 'ex- ample, the many hours you may have spent sitting at the lemonade or freshie sale. Lots of kids still have these sales in the summer and get the same results, sunburned noses, cavities (from drink - mg too much freshie) and a few coins in a jar. It's pretty much the same now as it was years aggo when I was a kid. THEY DON'T CHANGE Kids don't change much. They still enjoy laying with dolls even thou dolls have changed. Dolls n the catalo- gue are not at all like they were ten years ago. Dolls nowadays talk,, walk, ay, move, crawl and even get diaper rash. My dolls that i had when 1 was young had features such as eyes that open and close and rooted hair. Other than that; my dolls were very plain and ordinary. Other toys have also changed. Most trucks are battery operated, Lego hits directions on how to make battleships etc. instead of letting the child create his own toy and video games and computers have taken over. Toys change more than kids do. Kids still get play -dough in their hair and finger -nails and spill milk and tramp mud and snow on the carpet. Kids will always put up a fuss when it's time to go to bed and insist that they're too fall to eat their vegetabl even though there's lots of room left for dessert. i remember a little boy who used to gag and pretend that he was going to be sick everytime he was told to eat his carrots. He is much older nowbut he still refuses to eat his carrots. Ida Earle with some of her handmade slippers and an afghan. ChpooIginca QQ©ho Grandchildren keep Ida Earle busy her craft because of an interest in creating gifts and decorations. i did a lot of knitting in the past and then i took up crocheting about three years ago." Mrs. Earle also creates a wide variety of Christmas decorations for her home and family members. The items are hung on the doors as wreaths and broom decorat- ions with ivy and cranberries. She admits that making her own decorations is less expensive than buying. They also add a traditional and homey atmosphere to the Christmas season. She explains that she has never had her crafts on display, partly because she does not have the time and partly because she does not feel they are good enough. "i am not quite as good as that," she says modestly. One look at her display of items is enough to make one wish that such gifts were available for others' Christmas gift lists. by Kris Svela Seaforth and area has a wealth of artists and people who create a large variety of crafts. That is apparent by the response the Expositor had to its series on local craftspeople. One such talented person is ida Earle of Egrnondville who is a master at knitting, crocheting and decorative design. Many of her crafts are for Christmas decorations and for gift giving. At present she is not selling any of her crafts and with 17 grandchildren, one can easily understand why'When you have 17 grandchildren you don't have time to sell, ' she admits. High on her list of g,ifts, and a favorite with the children, are her knitted slippers. The slippers come in a variety of colours and resemble cats and small dogs, complete with all the facial features.

(Photo by White) arn Kids are funny, especially when they are growing up and learning new things. I babysit a little boy who is just learning to stand. It is really neat to watch his facial expressions as he struggles to pull himself up to a standing position. He still needs the support of furni- ture or a strong hand, but he gets up. You Nie probably noticed that babies and toddlers are constantly getting into mis- chief because of their curio- sity. Some may colour in text books or peel wall paper while others may empty the contents of drawers onto the floor. Some little angels find it fun to grab one end of the roll of toilet paper and see how far it gets before it breaks off. They're so cute! EBPE UMENTS As they get older, their curiosity gets away on them and they begin experiment - mg. Five-year-old boys try shaving "just like Dad" and gals get dressed up in high -heeled shoes complete with bright lipstick and smel- ling like a perfume factory. This is the age when kids are es constantly "changing" best friends just because another can't play with them and this is when they start bringing home pets. Does this bring back memories? ' Kids are great! i personal- ly don't think I'll have kids of my own, but everyone says that! They come up with neat little tricks, ideas and gim- micks but get away with them because 'Kids are Kids!" *ears," If you know of anyone S celebrating their birthday soon, please send their name, age and birthday to: Box 69, Seaforth, Ont.

SPS students stud India _t lunch by Jennifer ;:sell egad Nancy Godlike, Grade Helve India day in Seafforth7 That's right. Norma Riley's grade 5 class at Seaford' Public School had an iia day on Friday. hi the morning the child- ren waited patiently for their Indian guest, Rekha Kalokhe, to arrive at the classroom door. Finally the big moment came and Mrs. kalokhe was here. Students could hardly wait S IIS Sst to get started and began to ask questions concerning India. After a quick review of India, the class started to prepare the food for an Indian lunch. Before lunch Mrs. Kalokhe showed some of her slides from her wedding in India. The class learned some very interesting things, like their clothing and how it is put on. For lunch students prepar- several dishes. Por the As most people know, there have been a number of additions to the S.D.H.S. staff. One of these is Laurie Charteris. Miss Charteris is the " aby" in a family of five. Her sister is married and has two "children", her sister's daughter being abdut 17 years old. Miss Charteris also has a 28 -year-old brother. She went through Univer- sity of Western for four years and graduated, proficient at teaching both typing and physical education. From there she has taught at Sarnia and St. Thomas. She teaches typing to most grade levels, although she says she would also enjoy teaching phys-ed. This is the first time she has encounter- ed the semester system and says she likes it a lot because "you get to know the students." She likes it here and says the students are nice in comparison to some students she has had to teach. Miss Charteris is leaving at the end of this semester because the enrolment will be down, but says, if it were up to her, she would continue teaching at SDHS. She will probably go back to Sarnia, Montreal bound The 550 Club is busy once again with different fund raising events. For those of you who are thinking, "What in the world is the 550 Club?," I'll clue you in. The 550 Club consists of grade 13 students who are trying to raise money for their yearly trip to Montreal. This ambitious group is headed by Lynn Dodds, pres- ident; Jennifer Stryker, vice- president; and Greg Riley, second vict-president. The fund raising events so far include two bake sales, a turkey shoot (people bought tickets for shots at a basket- ball net. if the ball went in, their name was put into a draw. The winners won turkeys), a record draw and a dance Friday, November 19. In order for these events to get started, each member contributed $20. Now, profits reach S250, which is more than was expected. So, they're off to a great start this year and with this grade 13 class being the largest ever, there will be even more people helping to raise the needed money. This could the 550 Club's best year ever! —Sheila van Dorp Report card time in Vanastra Conespondent NORMM4 EAST 84882-7034 Bingo results for Tuesday, November 16 are first share - the -wealth Marg Edwards of Exeter.

The dele- gates represented the riding at various sessions including ministerial question and an- swer periods, organization workshops. and policy resolu- tion forums. Two delegates, Dave Steckley and Heather Redick were involved in sponsoring and speaking on three resolu- tions calling a long-term agri-food strategy, and im- provements to transporta- tion. resource development, research, and labelling poli- cies in Canadian agriculture. Over 300 resolutions in total were presented. The delegates discussed many local and national concerns with various members of the Liberal caucus, including Ralph Ferguson MP for Lambton- Middlesex . The Junction record review BiLLY SQUIRE Emotions in Motion - The release of Emotions in Motion, brought it some of the biggest hits Billy Squire has ever had. His newest album, although it is only his second popular release, con- tains some of the best music that he has put out. Songs like "Everybody wants you" have the scratchy lyrics Squire is known for. Billy Squire has come a long way from his last album, and with any luck, be will be able to remain at the top for a long time to come. —Sean Lane New party officers for nat- tional party posts were elect- ed Sunday. with former Cabi- net Minister, Iona Campag- nolo defeating incumbent Party President Norman MacLeod of Toronto.
