Thellsaist' hoinehohl is all decorated
for Christmas. In fact the cheery
wreaths, pine cones and evergreen
boughs were all in place by the first of
December, but little can save the
Christmas tree this year.
The little old plastic tree just isn't up
to parand it may never see the light cf
day in 1902. The $9.9 tree has served
me well, it's given me lots of joy and
happiness over the years, but this
season the tree has caused more trials
than pleasure
A college roommate and I bought the
little tree, complete with decoratioHns
and lights more than seven years ago at
a Yonge Street Kresge's store. We did
most of our Christ' mas shopping there
and the merchandise and prices just ht
the tall for two poor college lkids.
The tree has seen a lot of travelling
and shoving around. In the summer it
was packed away vvith all the rest (*my
school things in mum and dads
basement In thefall and winter months
it was toted back to 'Demote and
jammed under the bed or stuffed m a
closet with a ton of other needy items,
including my tennis rackets pool cue,
empty wine bottles, Robert Redford
posters and a long red wig from an old
Hallowe'en costume.
it survived the years well and always
brought us great joy at Christmas. It
helped to keep us in big' h spirits Unough
the December exams and brought some
life to our dreary little apartment. My
roommate and I were so proud of our
tree. When even toothpaste and
hamburg seemed too expenshe to buy,
the tree was a real luxury item for
college stadents Those twinadift lights
and tinsel really got to us„ they kinked
Ilk1;1111011.111milr
stuck in
the middle
so pretty and bright They gave the
place a homey look and we could never
bear to stuff it under the bed again until
themidelle of January.
This year the tree doesn't look so
goat My tastes are a little more
sophistic' ated now I guess and that 12 -
inch creation of green plastic just
doesn't thrill me hke did seven years
ago.
Mod el its branches are broken off
now and all those years of being
squashed in a box has definitely
duinged the all-round shape of the tree.
Most of the tiny ornaments and balls
are long gone and a few larger
decorations are gigerly sitting on
those weak branches My newly
acquired white ceramic angels can't
even hang Mthe tree this' year because
the whole outfit topples over when
anything heavier than a feather is pit
on.
This year pine owes and tissue paper
have been jammed in around the base
of thkree to give it some extra support
and Iieit hours striegmg popcorn to
fill in all those bare spots. The tree has
been placed in the farthest corner of the
room_ In daylight it still looks pretty
bad„ but by night, with the little lights
shining, itstill has a eke look.
I have ambitions to buy a big Six -
foster flocked tree next year and
decorate it with white satin bows and
handmade ornameds, just hie in the
magazines
But who knows,, Fm still pretty at-
tached to that little Charlie Brown
styled tree_ Ifs been with me a king
time„ brings back lots of good
memorks and will probably have some
special place in the Hant house for a
few more years to come_

dies more than just selfrdefense
Students learn much at 10 -week Holmesville Hall course
By Shelley McPhee
The lad five minutes of .the two-hour
class followed a routine 3onmet1ing like this
ruanitog on the spot; 200 stride jump; 50
push is; 20 leg raises; body rolls; five
push ups; five sit ups; five body rolls; 10
push ups; stand up, sit dewn; stand up, sit
down- take a breather.
A breather, you woukt think that such
physical exertion would leave some
permanently withott breath, but the en-
durance and the strength of each heart-
poen/ding activities comes from the con-
centration and control of Marshall Arts
Ron Tyndall's Shurin-Ruy Marshall Arts
class of more than 20 students meets tvrice
a week at the Holmesville Community
Centre. For two hours, on Mondays and
Wednesdays for the past 10 weeks they
have been studying to increase tholr
physical endirance„ self-control and a self-
confidence.
It looks tough to an outsider, but ac-
cording to Ron, a first degree black belt
intruder, anyone can learn Marshall
Arts, male or female„ yoimg or old_ Re
uses himself as an example. A quiet,
monstunine man, Ron began studying
Marshall Arts nine years ago. He says that
he lacked any self-confidence, bid after
studying under John Pierson of London, he
passed the varioustelts and now weals the
< Mask belt. Only one in 2,000 reach that
kvelt. There are eight more levels of black
belt training that Ron can drive for, and
more than 50 different styles of Marshall
Ads, inducting the well-known Karate and
Kung Foos that he could study_

Many apply for job
More than 40 people have applied for the
full-time secretarial position at the Clinics
Town Hall.
Ccemcillor Cooke said she had been
asked if a full-time employee was needed
when other businesses were cutting back.
Councillor Wayne Lester noted that he had
investigated the situation and found, "the
job requires a lot of paperwork. Same of
Ws ridiculous and some of it's worthwhile,
butt all has to be done"
"They (the clerk's office) are respon-
Mile to the provincial _government,"
Mayor Arehibakl added.
Council will hire theperson and make an
announcement later this month.
Donations granted
Council approved a donation request to
the Chaim Early Childhood Education
Centre. As last year, the council again
- donated $200 to the graup.
To help finance the Clinton ffinsmen
Club's Centennial pace horse race, Clinton
agreed todonate $750. Clerk Proctor acted
that the town had budgeted for this and
since 1973 the town has supported it.
Very few people every reach the highest
levels in Marshall Arts, but Ron says that
for the beginner, the person who wants to
tonenp, team some sell -defence and gain
some confidence, his twice weekly classes
at Holmesville can offer that.
Marshall Arts styles are bestknown asa
hands and feet method of fighting. The
actual numb% of the word Karate is
"empty hands," but according to Ron, the
ancient Far Eastern art is not primarily
used today to provoke or teach violence.
Ron explained that anyone in his club who
is caught fighting outside the confuses of
the classroom is immediately suspended
from the club.
"Sell defence," he explained, "is
knowing whenand when not to fight."
The primary purpose in Marshall Arts
Shurin-Ruy is to teach sell -confidence,
perseveranceand self -vitro/
"Students are learning and doing things
that they never thought they could do
before. Some couldn't even do a push up
and now they can do a hundred a night,"
Ron explained and added, "You only do as
much as you can though. Some can do 10
push ups and some can do 100."
Watching Ron instruct the club is
amazing. He follows through the routines
with the students but at the end, after the
push ups, the kicks, the pmchs, the sit ups,
the stride jumps and the running, he's not
visibly tired, his breathing is slow and
relaxed, aid there doesn't appear to be one
drop of moisture on his forehead.
"This is my night to loosen up and
relax," be modestly explained. "I'll go
house and really work out."
He trains a least two hours a night for
five nights a week, but noted that such a
schedule is too tough on beginners, "Two
nights a week is enough for them"
More than 20 students, chldren and
adults just completed the first filunrin-Ruy
classes at Holmesville and Ron noted,
"Some of the parents of the younger ones
Can't believe some of the changes in their
diildren. They can't pinpoint it, but they
know the demge is forthe good."
Sburin-Ruy is physically demand* and
e*bllerating, it teaches the body Mel the
mind, and it's an electing way to spent 10
weeks. Ron will begiming a new 10 -week
program on the evening of Monday,
January 4th at the Holmesville COM-
munity Centre. For more details call Ron
at 402-3634.
