Most., of them remem- bered these six things and returned in the time allowed. We also ran through our sbngs with special emphasis on "Cub Days", which was written for us by Mrs. Esther Handy.

Sharon's helpful hints Trade spare house keys with a trusted neighbour to prevent getting locked out of your house.- Place the spare in the neigh- bour's yard under a -rack or a good hiding spot. If you have a swim- ming pool, save water and money spent on water bills by catching rain. Attach an elbow connection to the downspouts of your house gutters. When it starts to rain, let the dirt and dust wash from the roof for the first few minutes and when the waterruns clean, stick a length of pipe into the elbow connection and run the pipe to the pool. The pool filter will do any necessary additional cleaning. The Clinton pee wee `B' hockey team this year consisted of, front row, left to right, Bobby Ladd, George Coventry, Monty Kelly, Mike Powell, and Craig Bowker.
