SKATING IN HOWICK
COMIUNITY CENTRE
"Amenebr a skate?" was one
el the comments I heard during
my Visit at the Howick com-
ma:Pt Centre. Nearly as soon as
the ice Waa in, Miss Amos and
Mr. Livermore, our physical
SklucatiOn teachers, were Ow
aiag their skating program. •
The centre is rented to the
school for a small amount of
money. During my stay I heard
Mr. Livermore mention a saying,
"ou must be able to take off and
skateas wellon the left foot as on
the right."
For those who don't have
skates, theroare.., skateaon sale or
students can lug borrow than
from the school. We must
remember to put names on all
eqtdpment brought to school.

SURPRISE ASSEMBLY
On Monday, December 2, the
students of Howick Central
gathered for an assembly to
Fent academic awards not re-
ceived, from last year. The lucky
students achieving 5 or more A's
on their report cards last June re-
ceived a crest and a point toward
their school letter and a cftizen-
ship award. This award was
handed out by our viceinincipal,
Mr. Cober, who beamed at the
number of students who • came
forward for their awards. We
hope to see as good turnout in the
197475 school year. Certainly the
coincidence of this surprise
assembly with our first term
report cards serves as a re-
minder.

This community is sorry to
learn that Miss Marjorie Purvis
of Mitchell, formerly of Lucknow,
had the misfortune to fall on
Tuesday last, while opening the
garage door and break her right
wrist in two places. Miss Purvis
had come home from her work at
Westminster Hospital to assist
her two sitters and brother with
their work as all three suffered
injuries within the past year.
At the United Church on Sun-
day the White Gift service was
held. Jack Whytock told the
story, "Once Upon a White
Christmas".

Two women were injured
Saturday after their car went out

Committee Joe Dietrich has
%yarned there could consequently

"We haven't increased the
county monetary share of our
budget for four years while most
of our costs have increased by 60
per cent and more," Dietrich re-
ported 'to council. "If we are to

the provincial share is fixed at
contributing about 60 per cent of
the cost toward nine per cent of
our road construction deficiences
each year, the county would have
to raise the balance at the local
level."
• "In other wards, many projects
would be completed without a,
provincial contribution and
obviously not practical or
possible."
Long range plans for road con-
struction and resurfaCing were
presented to council as well as a
•forecast of bridge construction.
All were approved by members.
Top priority for, road con-
struction is County Road 19

Outstanding skaters will

Flashing blades skimming over
sparkling ice, topped by a glitter-
ing wardrobe to a background of
musical moods will highlight the
appearance of the International
Touring Company of Carnival on
Ice when the show is presented at
the Wingham arena on Friday,
December 13 at 8 p.m.
Currently on its first Canadian
tour, the ice show is composed of
professional skaters gathered
from throughout the world who
have been seen in productions in
Europe, South America, Russia,
the U.S. and Canada. The skaters
are veterans of such famous pro-
ductions as Holiday on Ice, Ice
Capades and The Vienna Ice Re-
view.
The production numbers, from
the Winter' Wonderland spectac-
ular through the Rock and Roll
Review, will be—alternated with
soloist specialists including bar-
rel jumper Manny Del Toro, the
interpretive routines of Frank
O'powd, the nostalgic, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Avery of Brantford,
Ontario and the Robertson
Family, equilibrists.
Wardrobing for Carnival on Ice
is an outstanding part of the over-
all picture. Winter Wonderland
will present the entire company
clothed in white fur. Beaded
gowns, escorted by top hats and
tails will lend atmosphere to the
waltz number while hot pants will
dominate the Rock and Roll Re-
view.
The route for the Canadian tour
'has been planned accOrding to
communities boasting arenas
with a large enough ice surface
and ample seating to accom-
modate an ice show audience.
"We realize that the interest in
figure skating is very high in
Canada" said Carnival on Ice
company manager, Harry Hard-
ing, "and feel that we not only
provide an entertaining evening
for everyone, but will be bringing
a company of experts into com-
munities for close-up study by
focal students of the art."
