She has been an associate real estate broker for the past eight years and is also a school bus driver. Before then she was in business for 23 years with her husband Leo, who runs a local car dealership. Sharon Medd "I hope to make a difference," she says: "I would like to see more jobs in town for young people so they don't have to leave despite liking it here, because a small town would be good to raise their families." Mrs. Medd is on the board of directors of the Clinton Credit Union. She and her husband live on Gouinlock St., and have four children: Jeff, Julie, Barry and Stephen. Heather Robinet feels her experiences as a former community reporter and wife and mother would help her be an effective voice on Seaforth council. "Seaforth is a beautiful town, a great place to raise a family, retire or just exist," says Mrs. Robinet,"I want to ensure the quality of life we've grown accustomed to in the past continues into the future." Mrs. Robinet, 34, adds she would like to see a female voice on council, would like to see Main Street storefronts filled, and would like to see Seaforth's street and sidewalk programs continued. "I feel it is important to have young families represented," she says," and to be a voice for the children, the very people who will grow up in the future Seaforth we are shaping today."

The 57 - year -old Dublin area farmer is len 'n incumbent Marie chat & B Support Legi ipoppy campaign Ron Murray Hicknell in the upcoming municipal elections for the position of Reeve of McKillop Township. He says he represents the "common sense" approach to council and would be a "strong voice", establishing a five-year program for road maintenance and also developing a policy for worker and council direction, then sticking by it. Mr. Murray has been a McKillop councillor for the past three years and was a trustee with the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board, and its chairman for the past three years.

Dear Editor, For many years the people of Seaforth and area have been most generous in contributing to the annual Poppy Campaign of Branch 156 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Funds which the public contribute are held in trust in a separate account and do not form any part of Branch finances. The amount col- lected in the 1993 campaign was $5,148.60, with expenditures totally $2,344.85, Donations totalling Letters $2,195.43 The Poppy Trust Fund is a reserve from which assistance can be given to needy veterans, their dependents and the widow's and children of deceased ex -service personnel. We trust that the local citizens will continue to lend their usual strong support to the 1994 poppy campaign by wearing a poppy and being receptive to the Legion mem- ber or Cadet knocking on your door during the poppy drive to be held on Sunday, Nov. 6. Your donation will be appreciated. Erroll Skillender Poppy Chairman Reader submits vandalism poem THE MAIL BOX VANDAL The mail boxes which line our county roads create a service and a postal code. They tantalize the immature, by their unique stature they endure, the Vandal - a sneak, is known to prey, at night you'll know he'll pass this way. "Who are these fools?" we all agree. A shame to them for their family tree. A coward he is known, by his friends and foes. He is as yellow as the colour between his toes. We all know some day he'll be caught. He will be like a trooper to cover his plot. For these are momma's boys you see. The old man pays the fine and the fees. The pampering of these little divines. The vandal himself is there to whine. For a grudge is he who has no stance. He really needs a good kick on the pants. He is bitter and miserable - a spoiled brat is he. Who curses and damages the box and then flees. From this day on he'll be known to be. The Coward, the Fool, of the county is he. Submitted. Money doesn't bring happiness Dear Editor, People have a queer notion that money brings happiness. Happiness is something that is in you. The only thing about money is that you can be miser- able more comfortably. But money is like bread and butter, you have to have some to live. Trouble is, if you have too much money, you arc apt to get tired of bread and Nutter and want jam on it, as we used to say in the army. I was poor when we were married. Nell knew that but she thought it would only be a couple of years, but the dirty thirties came along. When you are married you have to keep her, so 1 went to a neighbour who 1 knew had some potatoes for sale. He was a poor man, too, so I bought a 75 Ib. bag off him...when 1 came to hay for them he would not take anything "It takes the poor to help the poor." for it, it was a gift as I was just starting up. I felt very good about it, so I went to another friend ('1) and bought a basket of apples. He was a rich man so he charged me 50 cents. It takes the poor to help the poor. In the winter before coming to Seaforth I was in Toronto and my money was running out. I was living on 35 cents a day. One day I was stuck for a bed so I went to the Salvation Army. There was a girl at the counter, so I asked for a bed. She said that would be 25 cents so I gave her 25 cents and she gave me a card with '235' on `fir 1' asked what it was and she said that was my bed. She was pretty Tom Schoonderwoerd The Deputy -Reeve of Hibbert Township is going to try his hand at town politics. Tom Schoonderwoerd, of RR 2 Dublin is one of three candidates in the running for the open fourth position on Seaforth council. The well-known Mr. Schoonderwoerd, 54, classifies himself as self-employed and feels his business background will help him make a contribution to council. He has 10 years experience in municipal politics in Hibbert, and has served on various boards and committees in that time. His wife Elly is a registered nurse and he has three sons: Michael, Jason and Wayne. Haunted House planned A haunted house is in the works on Seaforth's main street. It will be open Sunday night from 6:30' to 8 p.m. in the vacant former premises of Seaforth Sports at 7 Main St., and is being put together by the St. Columban/Seaforth St. James Parish grades 7 and 8 youth group. Co-ordinator Anne Murray says the idea for the haunted house originated with the youths, and 34 of them are participating. The parish group is trying to dossomething once a month. icently about 100 kids came to hear Wayne Lachappelle talk about their music and videos in an event co-ordinated by Mary Ryan, and in November a games night is on the agenda.

She was not really a Salvation Army member, just a snob doing her good decd for the day. For- tunately, while I was standing there wondering what to do, Number '236' came along, so he took me in hand and showed me the way. We went into a big ham of a place where there were a lot of mattresses on the floor: no blankets, just mattresses. One had '235` on it, so I lay down in it just as I was and that was it. P.S. Did you read about Ernie Williams' life in last week's paper? (Huron Expositor, Oct. 12). If so, what did you get out of it? Did you notice he left school at 14 years and still made a good life. If you still have the brains you were born with you realize your education does not stop..when you leave sobeol-1n-------'- fact, it's only starting. Harry Palin, Seaforth.
