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.

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.
WIFE BATTERING:
IT'S TIME TO BREAK THE SILENCE.
