Mr. Robert Hume has
accepted a position in
Glencoe with the Hydro. His
duties are to commence
December 1. He sure will be
missed in this community as
he was Superintendent of the
Sunday School, a Sunday
OptithiatS of Stephen
Dear Sir,
one '3Csltu that
bs record
Saturday
should
w book
jai
l go
o as
into
athv have
been. The weather man
played havoc with our
functiens. First of all the
inch or so of snow which
covered the ground was
more of an attraction for the
kids than the gruelling task
of trying to knock down pins
at the bowling alleys.
I suppose that when I was
a youngster the idea of
throwing snowballs and
building snowmen took
precedence over anything
else, we'll have to wait until
this coming Saturday to see
if the kids missed their hour
and one half of bowling fun,
My efforts as publicity
chairman failed as far as the
road rally was concerned.
Only four cars showed up to
participate. Again theblame
was put on the weather. To
me the snow just added more
of a challenge. Ron Morrison
and his organizing team put
many hours and a lot of
thought into this event. They
were disappointed but are
not discouraged.
The rally has not been
cancelled, just postponed to
a later date. More to come,
about when the next attempt
will be in a later edition.
Many members are going
to come to me with the
phrase "I told you so", when
referring to the attendance
at our Saturday night dance.
It turned out to be more of a
house party than a dance,
but for those of us who did
show, a good time was had,
There will be another dance
on the 13th of this month.
Minor hockey will be
presenting a home and home
tournament with the good
people of Drayton, Ontario.
this Saturday, All teams will
be. participating. Come out
and watch your teams in
action, you won't be
disappointed,
The Opti-Mrs. have a 50-50
draw going to raise funds for
the needy families in the
township. Tickets are
available from any members
and will be sold at the booth
during the tournament. The
draw will be made at the
arena following the tourney.
It may surprise some of
you to know that even with
our social services and
Welfare systems there are
still a number of families
who are in dire need of
assistance. In regards to
those families the Opti-Mrs.
have been doing a splendid
job of helping them,
Last week I expressed
gratitude to the members of
our local fire fighters. I
apologize for neglecting the
members of the Crediton
force. Those men also waved
a generous portion of their
yearly volunteer pay so that
the taxpaying citizens would
not be burdened with the
entire load of the cost for
new, and up to ' date, fire
trucks. Thanks fellows.
Sunday, December 7 at 10
a.m, our first club meeting
will be held at the hall. It is a
regular meeting. Anyone
who is not a member, but is

all about? Lt. Governor Bill
has informed me that there
will be a zone meeting
following our club one. Any
of you members wishing to
attend should stay at the
hall,.
Have you decided what
you are going to do New
Years Eve? If not, tickets
will soon be available from
club members for our party-
Cost is $7,00 per person with
a maximum of 100 tickets
being sold. We have always
had a good party and expect
this year's will be just as
much fun. Our hall is just
about in your own yard so
you will not have too far to
drive.
An attraction has been
added for the Santa Claus
parade on the 14th. While
Santa skates around the ice
• after the parade you will be
entertained by live music
from a local group at the
arena. Plan to take your
children and make it a
family skating afternoon.
There is a good Rec
League in our area for all
you hockey fans. From 7
p.m. to. 11 p.m. the following
teams do battle on Sunday
evenings, Glanvilles,
Optimists, RSM, Zubicks,

These teams make for an
enjoyable evening.
