( James Friel photo) CHSS Art Club hard at work By Lisa Watt CLINTON - The Central Huron Secondary School (CHSS) Art Club is once again hard at work for the school and the community. This year's president, once again, is Caroline,Vatt. Twenty-six students from Grade 9 to 13 are involved in the club and Mr. Walker is the club's staff advisor. After completing a mural for Mr. Part's new music room, the Art Club also has a sports mural and a mural for the.gymn plan- ned. Other future projects for the school in- clude numerous posters for various school activities. The Art Coub is also a key factor in decorating for the the school's formal. Members of the Art (`lab ripcianPd annrnx- imately 10 mediaeval folders for Clinton Public School. These folders consisted of knights, castles, mediaeval towns, dragons and Robin Hood. The club is also planning to paint Christmas scenes at Huronview this week. On Oct. 17, members of the Art Club travelled by bus to Toronto where they visited two art galleries. Many members will also be travelling with the Dramatic Arts students to New York for a four day trip in the spring. In many projects completed and more in the works, it appears that the CHSS Art Club is having one of its busiest and most produc- tive seasons in years. Watch children around Christmas tree ornaments for safe holiday The Christmas Season is upon us. In many towns and.cities, the Santa Claus parade has ushered Santa to his throne in local depart- ment stores and malls. At home, the festive hustle and bustle has begun, and children are excited as the yearly ceremony of "put- ting up the tree' is drawing near. "It is.a wonderful time for both children and adults alike," says Marybelle Ford, Program Co-ordinator of the Lung Associa- tion in Huron -Perth. "But in the midst of happiness, wewould like to warn parents that possible tragedy lurks in the form of the brightly coloured plastic ornaments dangl- ing from the tree." The dangling ornament often entice's.the toddler to grab it, put it in his month, only to realize that it isn't candy. Surprised, the youngster tries to spit it out. But it cracks, and a portion of the plastic lodges in his windpipe or as aspirated (inhaled) into his lungs. This is a possible tragedy in the midst of fun. Aspiration of foreign objects is a leading cause of death and injury among children under six years of age. How can you help to keeppreschoolers safe? The Lung Association suggests: * do not place tiny ornaments on low tree boughs where a youngster can grab them; *tell San- ta Claus to bring presents that do not have button eyes or tiny car wheels that can come loose; * keep small "finger food" such as peanuts and popcorn off low coffee tables when you entertain. Food also can be aspirated. At this joyous season, your Lung Associa- tion .wishes you and yours a happy and healthy holiday.

With a scoop. When does a journalist have to wear oven m When handling a hot tip. When is an informant like a bird? When he's a stool pigeon. When is a news report like a bright light? When it's a flash. Why is a newspaper like a river? They're both very current. Why did the newspaper article go to exercise class? It wanted to be fit to print. Where did the journalist sail her boat? Up the news channel. Why was the broadscaster fleeting? He was on the air. Giz vein lent agencies look after whole child By Stephanie Levesque There its a "new and growing" partner- ship between various government agencies that look after the whole child. So says Paul Carroll of Seaforth, superintendent of student services with the Huron County Board of Education. Mr. Car- roll was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron Family and Children's Services. He said agencies in the area of health, community and social services and educa- tion are working together for the whole child rather than separate parts of the child. And children "cannot be fragmented" said the superintendent. Mr. Carroll said the working together of various agencies will "do more for kids and their families than any single agency." He added that he regularly is in touch with representatives of these other agencies in- volved in. looking after children and their families. The superintendent concluded by giving a tribute to the Huron Family and Children'sServices. Foster parents and volunteers received awards at the annual dinner meeting. Mr. and Mrs. James Wilkinson of RR 3, Exeter, were honored for 15 years service as foster parents. Another 15 year service award was presented to Charles and Roxie Adams of Goderich. Ten-year foster parents awards were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Richard KlQss of RR 1, Brucefield and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bruinsma of RR 2, Goderich. A five-year volunteer service award was presented to Russel Alton of Goderich. Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Castle of Clinton, although absent from the meeting, were recognized for being foster parents for five years. Action kids sell 8,000 books in one week The Action Kids series of books has received over 8,000 orders since it went on the market two weeks ago. The Action Kids series is based on Kathryn MacKay's highly successful newspaper column, "A Place for Kids," which appears in this newspaper. Curtis Communications, . the Toronto- based publisher of the books, attributes The Action Kids' overwhelming success to its entertaining nature, affordable price, and the very receptive 8-12 year old age group it's written for. Kathryn MacKay, the author of the books, says, "These kids need fun, intelligent things to do and read. The Action Kids are fun books."

KEEPING HER IN LINE It's something you may have overheard but will seldom hear discussed. Yet it's a brutal reality. For every year, one woman in ten is abused by her husband. Put down verbally. Axid beaten up physi- cally -to the point.of unconsciousness, hospital- ization or death, In fact, wife assault is involved in one fifth of all Canada's homicides.' Clearly, physical abuse of any kind is against the law. Violence against wives is especially repug nant: The children in these homes may grow up conditioned to accept abuse, or renew the cycle by abusing others.
