Approximately 25 boys and girls in grades V to VIII prepared seventeen exhibits, working individually on a project or in groups of either two or three together. The exhibits included a wide range of science related themes including electricity, crystals, the telegraph, metric system and the durability of cloth. Don Brubacher took first place in the grade VII & VIII division with an excellent experiment on colours. Brian Watson and John deVluglit were second place winners with a project demon- strating heating and ventilation, with Wilma Smith and Wanda Currie, taking third place for the second year running, with an experiment showing the durability of various kinds of materials. In the junior division David Rose and Keith Jones ,:ame up with a first place exhibit showing "a hat plants will live in". Experimenting in food colouring t'r'endy Currie and Connie Thompson captured second place, and Billy McIntosh and Russel ('ox was judged third with an experiment on crystals. They too, were jointly third place winners in last year's Science Fair. Judging the entries were Mrs. I. Jackson, grade one teacher, Miss L. Sinclair, grade four teacher, and Paul Swan, a supply teacher at East Williams this week. Citizens clean up community Following the ice storm earlier this month, Ailsa Craig's citizens Found an invitation in their mail boxes to help clean up broken tree limbs and branches. Volunteers were asked to meet at the Town Hall, Saturday, at 9:00 p.m. In spite of cold, windy weather about 40 men appeared on the scene Saturday morning ready and willing to give assistance, Many brought extra equipment to help with the job. In preparation, residents had cleaned up as much as possible beforehand and limbs and brush were put at the roadside in ap- proximately six foot lengths to enable the volunteers to load them into trucks for easier removal. Some of the branches were put through a chopper which broke them up into wood chips. Many a little boy - and bigger boy- stopped during the process to watch the fascinating machine in operation. The men were supplied with hot coffee halfway through the morning to help fight the raw dampness that prevailed. Following lunch many of the men Beginning this week the Ailsa Craig Youth Centre will be open Wednesday and Saturday evenings rather than Friday nights. Boys and girls from 9 to 13 y ears of age will have their ac- tivities from 6:30 to 8;30 p.m. Wednesday evenings, while the older teen-agers front 14 years and up will meet Saturdays from 7:30 to 10:30 p,m. This is being arranged to allow the programme to continue in its present surroundings without possible disturbance to the new grocery store downstairs which will be open on Friday nights. The Youth Centre Steering Committee met March la to clarify some of the goals and expectations held for the Youth Centre, and to deal with some of the problems now facing the program me. In defining the objectives of the Youth Centre, the committee felt that the Centre should serve as a healthy meeting place for the young people in the community. Its programme should provide for physical activities in order to give an opportunity for a healthy outlet for youthful exuberance as well as to create an atmosphere for inward growth. It was also felt there was a need to provide opportunity for meaningful social interaction within the group, and to encourage creative skills and talents. One of the major problems facing the Centre at the moment is finding personnel. With the new schedule in effect even more adult volunteer supervisors are required. Each member of the steering committee was ear- nestly asked to seek out persons from within the communi y who could help in this capacity and thus enable the Youth Centre to continue its much needed programme, It is hoped to enlist the support of sufficient number of persons that volunteers would need to commit themselves only to one or two nights per month. At present approximately 15 to 20 boys and girls 9 to 13 years are attending each week and five to ten over fourteen. If this need in the community is to continue to be met, and the community to continue' to benefit from a healthy, well supervised youth programme, we need persons willing to devote a few hours each month to the Youth Centre as v olont ver supervisors. By helping to provide meaningful activities for young people, we can help them grow into better citizens. healthier individuals, as well as build a better community. But help is urgently needed. Anyone interested, who can help in the work, could contact any of the steering committee: Dave Brunner, Scott Horton, Bob liarkman. Wilfred Schlegel. Gus Pendleton. Gordon Elliott, Ralph Eagleson, Rev. Clyde Westha vf iaek Williams, John Bender orJoy Schettele. April I, the committee will meet again at 7:00 p.m. at the Youth Centre with any new ,olunteers and possibly set up a permanent Youth Centre Com- mittee to replace the temporary Steering Committee now in ef- fect. development ot the barn for recreational, purposes. About 20 seniors from the community were Mat tendancel\londay for the meeting.

Favorite game is to line up at the other end of a 30-foot room, run as fast as he can, chortling fiendishly, and hurl himself, head-first, into my stomach. On Saturday mornings, I like to read the book reviews in the daily paper. Last Saturday, I spent four hours trying to read a six- paragraph review. In between I was changing records on the record player, which must be playing simultaneously with the tape recorder, fetching drinks of juice and crackers with peanut butter, hoisting him onto the pot (he's too busy to be bothered). helping him build a train, trying to keep him from pulling the cat's tail, and 60 or 70 other things, No wonder he likes it here.
