About 21 men and women from the Anglican, Baptist, Mennonite, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic and United Churches attempted to call on all the households in the two areas in an endeavour to acquaint residents with the various local churches and their activities. The survey also will provide the churches involved with information regarding the families in the two villages. Volunteers reported a very favourable reponse from most of Explorers elect slate About 18 Explorer girls ranging in age from 9 to 12 years of age met Tuesday evening for their second meeting of the season. It was a special meeting for the young ladies involved, It was the night to hold their election of officers. After nominations were carefully held, the young girls each honourably closed her eyes and secretly voted by show of hand on the person of her choice for each office. For the next half year, Elizabeth Ingham will act as president Maryann Parkinson as secretary and Kim Walsh as treasurer. Following their devotional service and election of officers last week, the girls eagerly set to work on scrap books for their programme under the direction of leader, Ellen Whitmore. Mrs. Jane Walker had the other half of the group busily engaged in a game involving the books of the Bible in which the girls frequently captured new facts for themselves. The girls meet regularly each Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Ailsa Craig United Church. There are still openings in the group. Any girls in the area interested in joining would be most welcome. Nothing ever happens tomorrow — do as much as you can today. again later this week in an at- tempt to reach every household within the prescribed area. As much as possible the volunteers were assigned in pairs to cover a specific area, However, due to lack of sufficient persons, some volunteers their calls to date. Where per- sons were not at home to answer to the survey, calls will be made Lions lend assistance In recognition of World Lions Day, the Ailsa Craig and District Lions Club has been busy this past week. Although October 8th is officially set aside by Lions throughout the world as a day for reaching out to help others, the local Lions Club has undertaken a special project. As a number of senior citizens from the area will be moving into the Craigwiel Gardens Senior Citizens apartments, the Lions have offered to lend manpower and trucks to anyone requiring assistance. Already they have moved Mrs. E. Jones into her apartment and are willing to give help to anyone else needing assistance. In addition the Lions held their annual Fall .Cleanup last Saturday. Beginning at 9 a.m. about 14 Lions covered the village picking up items discarded by homeowners which the regular garbage will not take. Four trucks had the streets cleaned by noon and all trash removed. Saturday, October 2, a cross country track meet was held at East Williams Public School for the schools in the area. Com- peting in the event were. eight schools—East Williams, Ausable Springs Ranch, Metcalf, Craigwood, Adelaide, Delaware, Eckoe and Our Lady Immaculate. A course of one and a half miles was set for the girls while the boys ran the full two miles. Steve McKay from Ausable Springs Ranch took first place while Jeff Boutcher took second place for East Williams. Met- covered the area by themselves rather than with a partner. All volunteers attended sessions at the Ailsa Craig Presbyterian Church and familiarized themselves with the programmes of the six churches involved. The survey is being spearheaded by the local Ministerial Association. ' By MRS. RENA CALDWELL Kippen East Womens Institute will meet in the Legion Hall, Hensall, on October 20 at 8:30 p,m, Mrs. Edward Rowcliffe will be the guest speaker, Mrs. Jack Sinclair has the motto "Human beings are tied together by ideas and feelings, not geography", Mrs. Michael Connolly will give current events and the roll call is "which has more influence on a child's upbringing—home, school, or church?" Quite a number of area residents report a wonderful supper at Varna United Church last Wednesday evening. Mr. & Mrs. Stewart Beattie, Wingham, 'visited Mr. Lorne McBride and other relatives during the past week. Mr. Harold Jones has returned from St. Joseph's Hospital, London, where he underwent surgery on his leg. calf's Calver Walters came in third place. The winning time was 11:44 by Steve McKay. The results for the girls' race were Lorna Carlisle from Delaware placing first and Ann Marie Thuss from Our Lady Immaculate taking second place. Elizabeth Ingham of East Williams finished third. The winning time for the girls, of 10 minutes, 36 seconds was.set by, Lorna Carlisle which broke the former record of 11:18 set by Brenda Doek of East Williams in =last year's race. In an effort to save money, Exeter's RAP committee decided this week that Alvin Willert and Jim McKinlay should share the responsibility of supervising Saturday recreation programs at the high school. Under terms by which the school facility is made available to RAP, a supervisor must be on hand throughout the day to en- sure that youngsters do not gain access to other parts of the building. It had been suggested previous that a supervisor would be hired to assume this responsibility. However, program chairman Lossy Fuller suggested this week that Willert and McKinlay take turns looking after the matter and take another day of the Week off. Willert indicated he was prepared to give it a try and member Bev Skinner said it should be attempted in an effort to save costs. The Saturday program will include ballet, gymnastics, basketball and floor hockey. Earlier in the meeting, McKinlay said he would like to have some indication of his responsibilities now that RAP has laid off Liz Varley, John Roelofs and Jim Guenther. Members said it would be dif- ficult to come up with specific duties for the two remaining staff members and suggested they would have to do the best they could to complete the work that came up. "If there are picnic tables to move and Alvin needs help, Jim will have to help. him," Bob Pooley commented. He added that some things would have to suffer because of the layoffs. Willert said he wasn't alarmed over the situation, noting that normally he and his staff would be involved in ice 'making at this time of year. "If there's a problem, you'll hear from me," McKinlay ad- vised RAP members. At their Tuesday night session, RAP learned they have about $1,600 on hand with anticipated revenue of another $1,400. By HEATHER LITTLE Saturday night, South Huron, "Youth for Chriust" held its monthly rally at Huron Cen- tennial School, Following a sing- song, a film "Barrett" was shown. This action-packed film is the real-life story of Sgt, Gary Barrett, "a cop who cared." The viewer is shown the life of a man who is a cop and a Christian. "Barrett" reveals to us the thoughts and concerns of a very real policeman. Often we forget that cops are human, but after seeing the film it will be easy to remember. , We are shown scenes of his family, his wife and kids and a day at the beach as well as his professional life, Sgt. Barrett relates to us how he dedicated his life to God during an encounter with a crazed, gun-waving man, We become very involved, when he is scared, we feel frightened and when he is tense, we are tense. We feel as though we are right there with him in the action, All who were present at this rally were deeply moved. Young and old alike greatly enjoyed the film. At the next YFC rally, November 13, Rev. Don Hill of London will be speaking. Rev. Hill is known for his humorous stories which he interjects into his meaningful talks. He was the guest speaker at a YFC retreat in September and all present en- joyed his presence, Also at the November rally, the Aletheia Gospel Singers, will be pre'senting a message in song. This local group is made up of a group of South Huron students who have been singing together for about a year. Everyone is invited to attend this and other rallies held monthly. Come and bring a friend. Offering will be taken to cover the cost. By BRENDA PEPPER Friday, October 8, a group of South Huron students travelled by bus to the Festival Theatre in Stratford, to see a production of "Hamlet." This performance was of particular interest to grade thirteen students as "Ilamlet" is on the English 551 course of study, Stratford is known for its standard of quality, and this performance was no exception, Nicholas Penell as Hamlet, Pat Galloway as Gertrude, Eric Donkin as Polonius and Michael Liscinsky as Claudius made up an all-star cast. The play itself with five acts was long, but suspense ran high throughout, and few of us really minded nearly four hours of sitting. The last scene was particularly effective, with the stage littered with bodies, Cer- tainly the play is worth seeing. By BRENDA PEPPER One of the big issues at South Huron is the future of the dances. One dance has been held already this year on October 1 with the band Westbound. A number of students turned up drunk, ap- proximately 70 percent of them grade nines. About 10 percent were escorted down to the police station. Theband was good, why then did this happen? One concerned student says "the prefects should have been a "helluva lot better,'" Maybe the fault lies in the prefects. More likely the students themselves. What is the fate of the world if such irresponsible students who cannot even attend a dance sober were to take over. By LIZ SCOTT Once again, South Huron has a YACMR group, YACMR stands for Youth Across Canada with the Mentally Retarded. This year, the executive is as follows: President, Maureen Hartman; " vice-president, Marianne Mathonia; secretary, Bernadette Ducharrne, and treasurer, Sue Ann Schroeder. Our first get-together was held at the Hensall•United Church on September 21. We did some mixers, discussed plans 'for next year and arranged outings. September 28, we visited Huron Hope School in Huron Park. We had to divide ourselves into two groups, as we had different lunch periods. Unfortunately, the first group arrived just as the children • were sitting down to eat, Nonetheless, we enjoyed our visit, and the students were delighted to have us as guests. When the second group was there, they were able to see the children at their studies. Both groups found their visits en- joyable, Tuesday, Mr. Long, an in- terested teacher at South Huron, provided us with a film entitled, "One on Every Street." It gave us an idea about for the retarded in the 1960's. YACMR feels the views presented in the film are no longer acceptable, so it provided discussion material as to why these ideas are outmoded. During the school year,•we plan to trick-or-treat with the students from Huron Hope, tour ARC Industries, and plans for a recreation program are already under way. YACMR is looking forward to another busy year of activity. Anyone interested in YACMR is asked to please come to one of our meetings or ask a YACMR member, Area schools enter cross country test Dining Room Open Till 12 Midnight Picture Lounge Green Forest Motor Hotel YOUR HOSTS "PETE" and "CAROLE" DEITZ HIGHWAY 21 — GRAND BEND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT Thurs.,.
