Grade 6- class planned an excellent assembly program on the ' Remembrance ',Day theme for Thursday, November Ill. Guest speaker was Mr. Stewart;' Collyer of Lucknow who spoke of his experience in World War II. He stressed the fact that we do not have 'R.emembrance. Day to glorify war but to remember and do honor to those who died that we might have peace. Two films were shown sinultaneously, one called "Total War" telling the main events in the last war and depicting graphically many of the horrors of war. The other was a silent film in color of "Holiday in. Canada". which; was a complete con- , ;; ,.trast to the other film. Ic i;• e;a .ast Rost was played. and the stu4ents Cobs errved-the twa n;w Utes'Uence. Repre"sentatives from each Pi the primary grades placed Wreath:6 of poppies in front of a cross on the stage. The Grade 6 class read the scripture, led in prayer and in the singing of "Onward Christian Soldiers". Winners of the candy selling contest sponsored .by the Student's Council were: first prize - Lauranne King; second prize - Steven Alton, and Paul Jerome and third prize - John Curran.

So even working people can be Block Parents. Children are taught to remember and look for the sign and not the house itself. Hooper would like to see more than one Block Parent on each block in town. In total he would like to have about 300 Block Parents or more in Goderich. There was only a small attendance at Wednesday evening's meeting but it was a start and Hooper says he is not discouraged. Everyone he has talked to abetitthe Block Parent program has thought it to be a good idea. Hooper has approached Goderich schools, -the Ministerial Association, town council and several industries in town asking for their support of the Block Parent program. All have been receptive to the idea but as of yet nothing concrete has been done except for a Dear Parent letter which will soon be sent out by the schools with a Block Parent form on it for parents to fill out. Hooper figures the Block Parent program will require between $800 and $1,000 to get started in Goderich. The money would mainly go toward printing costs for information flyers and the window signs, used in the program. Once the program is underway, it will require little or no money. Hooper hopes most of the money will come from donations. The Goderich Lions, Club has offered $100. Hooper has donated slides on the Block Parent program to the Goderich Police Department who will im- plement them in their regular, safety education classes held in the schools every year.
