The Goderich Signal-Star, 1957-11-07, Page 7Tf1USiSUAST, NOV. 701. 7967 Hallowe'enparty Is Held Despite. Last Minute Cornplications Arising lovely moonlit evening (for in the auditorium of the public this time of 'the year) "eared the school. But '.by Thursday morning days" last Thursday when the an- the boar=d reversed this decision, taual Uoe Hallowe'en party for children was held. Originally scheduled to be held at the Goderich Arena, the Lions Club was informed Wednesday evening that the cost and work of clearing the boor in preparation for the Ealiews'en party the fel-- II/wing 1'lowing evening 'would be fteo:mwch: in addition, there was a danger of children falling into;thet deep, ditch ?u v u ding ithe floor p fthe arena e was being /treed, feeling that the crowd of children would mess up the auditoria floor to mush. On Thursday morning, plans were finally made to hold the party outside on the paved portion ee the playground, close to the public school. The Public Utilities Com- mission hastily ran a wire exten- sion • from a street line to the top of ,the School where spotlights were installed :to illuminate the grounds. This move, coupled with the fact that it was a moonlit night and net Net result was looking :elaevl+'.here ltoe'eoid, prevented what might for a place to hold the party. A I have 'been a, cancellation of the survey of the;_ public school board party* resulted in pa ission to hold it Despite the difficulties faced, eerMe children attended the ..: event. Headed by the Blue. Water Band.• in comic costumes, the par- ade marched from :the Square in frit of the Bedford Hotel to the school grounds. 'Ston after the arrival of the parade at the public school, the costumes were judged by members of the Home and School Associa- tion. ,Rafter this, hot dogs and chocolate, milk were given to each child. Numerous games such as were staged et the penny fair at the playgrotiods last simmer were held . and prizes given to winners. Donny MoCarth won the bean .guessing contest.

K. Fitch, Manager 35A Was* Stroot " ' Telephone 1501 GODERICH 01 ii, I iIlo iaIIt° I til,„‘; OUT ON A LIMB WITH BILL SMILEY Every fall about this time, 1' start galling myself names. Mild- east of them are such terms as "lazy, procrastinating idiot." That snakes it'ato orf Aus. My wife starts calling fine worse than that about two weeks earlier. Why? . Because the colli weather is here, and I haven't stirred a sttt.mrp to get ready for it, • w ,Sunday morning t teok a look out the front window. There was small daughter, bundled to the ears, rolling herself a snowman. 1 looked out the back window. There was small abn breaking the ice on the rubber swimmingpool, which has been sitting there, full of water, siiJtse June. b • * y, It happens every year, and every year as I climb the ladder with a vast, unwieldy storm window clut- ched in my purple little hands, ;4 swear a solemn oath, along with a number of profane ones, that next year I'll do the necessaries in August, and greet the first cold wave with airy disdain. • * ': * It isn't that 1 simply ignore the whole situation. No indeed. As 1 stride out the door on a warm afternoon: in iptember, with my golf clubs, 1 realize that the cellar is half full of ashes, the pipes are pregnant with soot, and the storm windows are buried under a baby - carriage, assorted bedsprings, a roll of siding and various boxes and baskets full of various things, in the back shed. ' m =s * For a moment, it casts a pall over my sunny countenance. But, dike a man who has a bad tooth and knows he's got to visit, the dentist soon, .I cheer up and think: "Oh, well, life is short. Maybe I'll be hit by a .truck before I have to do •something about it." That's what is known as a mature phil- osophy, and it takes years to ,acquire it. 1 did make one honest effort this. year. Back about October 1st, 1 determined to hurl myself into the breach, regardless of cost, and get things squared around. In other words, my wife said: "When are .you going to get a fire on?" 1 went down and took a locket the furnace. it was full of ashes and unburned coal. a * • I gave it a shake, and grates, coal and ashes fell into the bottom. The grates had rusted right through in the dripping, dungeon - like atmosphere of my "recreation room." :I gave the whole mess one dirty look, called it one dirty name, went straight uptown and purchas- ed a second-hand space heater, and haven't been back down there since. * * * In the weeks since that day, my family has sat huddled in the diningroom, the only place the oil heater would go, with the rest of, the house closed off, while 1 re- mark jovially that it's certainly nice to have some heat to take the chili off, and talk about how cold and damp it was in England during the war. *: What I do each year, of course, is sit around waiting for a miracle to happen. When it doesn't, and everybody's nose is at the right shade of ,blue, I go berserk for a day, wrestle with 'dirty pipes, totter precariously with storm windows, hammer on weather-stripping in a blizzard, and' emerge bleeding, swearing, ,filthy, but triumphant, the furnace on. and the Old Girl silenced. This year, I haven't succumbed yet. The leaves, half -raked, lay under the first snowfall. Tatters of last winter's weather-stripping, wave from the windows. The fur- nace sits, cold and choked with damp ashes, like an almost extinct monster lurking in the depths of a bog. With lots of extra blankets at night, and going visiting as -often as possible, we've pulled through this far. But I'm at the end of my rope. Monday morning, Kim, who gets up at daylight, and lies around on the floor coloring with crayons, in her bare feet,, came and jumped into bed with us about 7.30. She put one icy little foot in the small of my back. I jumped so far I slipped a disc. " * : 0 0 This week -end, the Boss is going to be away. When she gets home, I'm going to have a dandy firp going in the furnace, every stor°hi window snugly in place, and the winter's fuel in. That is, of ..course, unless somebody drops . around Saturday -afternoon --end- wants me to go partridge hunting. - Ca Lada • is a great forest country.

Thursday. Mr. Darling vigorously denoun- ced the suggestion that the small fall fairs were outdated. "I am going to shout from the high heavens that the small fairs are doing a great fob," he said. Some of the smaller fairs, said Mr. Darling, have problems of scanty attendance and small gate receipts which need to he solved by finding ways of attracting people to their local fairs. "They can sit on their " haunches and watch TV," he said, "and some of the people are too lazy to get out to see their local fair."
