Keep dog o a chain to avoid
him from chasin, cats, Colleen
Dear Advisor,
My brother is four -years -old. He always
tells Gramma what we're giving her for
Christmas and spoils it. What should we do?
Your friend,
Samantha
Dear Samantha,
Just don't tell him what you're getting
her. He can't tell what he doesn't know.
Dear Advisor,
I have a big problem. My dog is too
strong. All the time my dog is outside on the
rope. He sees a cat, he breaks the rope and
chases after the cat, and I have to buy a new
rope. Please help me.
Michael
Dear Michael, '
Use a chain instead of a rope. Don't use a
choke chain becaturse he may get tangled and
choke.
Dear Advisor,
I have a problem. My brother snores. He
keeps me awake. I've tried everything. My
brother is seven. What should I do? Can you
help?

Dear Sheilia,
It is hard to stop snoring but if you poke
him and roll him on his side he might stop.
Meanwhile put cotton batten in your ears.
P.S. Just 10 days until Christmas. Last day
of school is this Friday. Have a happy
holiday.
I you have a problem, I'd like to hear from
you. Drop your letter into the Signal -Star or
mail it to the Gerich Signal -Star, Kids

KNOX CHURCH
The sanctuary was beautifully decorated
for Christmas and Rev. Dave Snihur was in
charge of the service. Mrs. Greg Park and
Lori Million were in charge of the organ and
piano prelude.
The call to worship was read alternatively
followed by the hymn "Angels we have
heard on high". Rev. Snihur gave the
prayer of approach followed by the an-
nouncements. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
Plaetzer lit the third advent candle. The
junior choir sang a number under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Allan Webster and Mrs. Gordon
Gross as pianist.
Rev. Snihur read the scriptures followed
,by the prayer chorus. The senior, choir sang
lea tit lie& iitlillhi °Gi�eg Park tiking't$e

"Jesus is coming again." The offering was

followed by the benedictional response
"Glory to God."

Saturday evening at 8 p.m. at the church.

Londesboro United Church at 8 p.m.
Christmas luncheon enjoyed
Fifty-four hospital auxiliary members
and friends enjoyed a noon luncheon at the
Bedford Hotel on Friday rather than their
regular meeting. Good food and conversa-
tion were enjoyed by all attending.
President Jean Wheeler welcomed all and
wished each Season's Greetings. Regular
meetings will resume on the third Monday
of each month in the Auxiliary Room. New
members are always welcome.
Tugboats have appeal
Peek into the minds of tugboat buffs in
Vancouver, Halifax or Goderich and you'll
probably find the passion they share for
these little ships can be lavished on any
tug, anywhere. So tug fanciers should be
alerted to read the latest Issue of Equinox
magazine. It describes the tugs of British
Columbia and, though not the Great Lakes,
the article is interesting and well
illustrated.
For those who have never sailed on a
working tug (regrettably, this writer is
one), it may shatter a few myths we tug
buffs have about towboats. It's not all a
bed of roses on these quaint workhorses,
especially the smaller ones. It can he
noisy, uncomfortable, tedious and
dangerous. But it pays well and has an ap-
peal that true tugboatmen can't resist.

The Manitoulin Island ferry Chi-
Cheemaun on Oct. 9 reportedly was forced
by weather to return to Tobermory. It was
only the third time in her 13 -year life that
the "Big Canoe" has been unable to cross
the South Baymouth on the island.
I was on the lakes the day, though in pro-
tected waters, and while I recall strong
southwest winds there have certainly been
much worse conditions. But looking at the
ferry's route on a map, it becomes obvious
that after passing Cove Island in a
southwesterly blow she would be exposed
on her beam to the full sweep of Lake
Huron (about 180 miles) for most of the
journey. Even a ship the Chi--Cheemaun's
size might take a beating.
Actually, it's amazing that the ship has
been turned back only three times. I know
of one old-timer who had a wild late
autumn crossing in the 1950s aboard the lit-
tle Normac. He said late he truly wondered
if he'd ever see shore again.

Remember the SJuth American? She
was about the last cruise steamshin on
6"1111PWATCHERg
By Dick With
these waters until she was sold off the
lakes almost exactly 20 years ago. She and
her identical twin North American were
operated by; the Chicago, Duluth and
Georgian Bay Transit Co. of Detroit.
We may be forgiven if, like many others
in these parts, we believed both these ships
had gone to the scrappers long ago. But the
South American had not, though she is now
I'm sad to learn.
Back in October 1967, this ship was
reported sold to the Seafarers Interna-
tional Union which planned to use her as a
floating training center somewhere on the
U.S. Atlantic coast. I believe she actually
made it to Philadelphia because I recall a
newspaper clipping later showing her bat-
tered and listing in some forgotten
backwater near that city.
Lake Log Chips newsletter reports that
the South American is only now being
scrapped, along with sheds at a former
New York shipyard. "Thus," says Chips,
"20 years after she last carried passengers
what is left on the once Queen of the Lukes
will apparently meet her end."
Apparently in the last two decades many
proposals have been made to rescue and
restore the old girl, but all in vain. "May
her end be swift and merciful," Chips
concludes.
The South and North Americans were
fine looking twin -stacked steamers which
for years cruised to many American and
Canadian lake ports, large and small, with
crowds of happy holidayers. It was a facet
of lite which those communities probably
will see no more.
