adiI welcomes
Norwegian student
joined them on the annual
trip to Niagara Falls. He has
also visited Toronto a couple
of times and has seen most of
the country around
Wingham.
Tormod finds the language
differenX, but it has not been
a barrier for him. "I under-
stand most people, and they
understand me. The sports
are different too. Canadians
play hockey, baseball and
football. In Norway, soccer
and skiing are the most
popular. Canada is also a
much larger country than
Norway. The Norwegians
are very much the same as
Canadians, but I find
Canadians friendlier. Many
have made me feel at
home."
Tormod writes to his fam ;
ily (one younger sister, one
older brother and parents)
Tormod has already joined every other week.
the Geography Club and the Tormod has had great ex -
volleyball team. He plans to periences so far in Canada
join the soccer and ski and we hope they get even
teams. The Geography Club better before- he returns
has helped Tormod with his home in July.
Canadian sightseeing. He . —Angela Petten
People are coming from
afar to attend F. E. Madill!
Tormod Haug is a student
visiting Canada for a year
from Norway. After travel-
ling 10 hours by plane,
Tormod arrived at the To-
ronto Airport. He is staying
at John Tweddle's house in
Wingham.
In September, Tormod
started school at F. E.
Madill. His first impression
was that it was a rather
strict school that had good
relationships between the
teachers and students. In
Norway, the schedules are
posted by the schools and the
students take the subjects
they are assigned. It was dif-
ferent for Tormod to be able
to choose his own subjects,
including his favorite sub-
ject, math.
Newsy nothings
It's been quite a Week,
hasn't it? And a short one at
that. I can hardly wait for
the next one.
But to get back to the week
at hand (or is that foot, as in
Fred Foote?) , what do Rob
Schistad, Michele Hooftman,
Don Grubb, Kevin McKague,
Wilma Vandervelde, and
Rob Cardiff have • in com-
mon?
You got it, Pontiac! These
six students were the con-
victed criminals of Madill's
first Kangaroo Court, Judge
O'Donahue presiding. Their
crime was to remain Nor-
mal, if you can possibly ima-
gine, on a dress -up day.
Where is the school spirit
kids?
Their punishments in-
cluded a poignant reading of
a Shakespearean love sonnet
to Michele from Rob S.:
Kevin and Don feeding each
other pudding blindfolded,
and Wilma pouring water
into Rob C's bottle while she
stood and he was prone. Me
thinks, you had to be there
for that last one!
I, hope we ,have learned
something from this and
Maude here is expecting
everyone to be Weird two
weeks from now. (Or is that
one week from now?) More
on that next week.
Before I go a very Happy
B -Day to : Tara Parker,
Craig Oatman, Gary Pipe,
Chris King, Kevin Walker
and Lori Parker.
Till whenever. . . stay
marvellous.

Junior football
JR. FOOTBALL
The Jr. Mustangs have
qualified for the playoffs for
the first time in 11 years via
a 26-0 blanking of Stratford
Northwestern Huskies.
Madill scored on its first
possession, with Troy Mc-
Dougall finishing off the
drive on a ning-yard run into
the end -zone. Rob Weber
scored Madill's second
touchdown of the half on a
six-yard TD plunge. Dan Gil-
christ and Troy added the
other TDs in the second half.
Billy "Pass Play" Cameron
had three receptions and
booted two converts.
Madill's defense held the
opposition; the third game in
a row it has not been scored
on.
We play perhaps our
toughest game all year next
Thursday against South
Huron of Exeter. The game
is at Madill and we hope for a
large fan turn -out. We would
also like to see more parents
and other football enthusi-
asts to attend.

A trick of the mind
Charlie Blogs was a Cana-
dian citizen who owned a
hotdog stand. For more than
20 years Charlie had made a
good income from the stand,
good enough to help send his
son Charles Jr. through uni-
versity. Charles Jr. gradu-
ated and received a degree
in economics. Before moving
to a different city for a job
with a large firm, he stopped
to see his father.
"Why dad," he said know-
ingly, "how can you hope to
keep the business going in
these times? Unemployment
is up; inflation is up and the
number of bankruptcies is
up. The federal deficit has
never been larger! With all
the big companies folding
under, how can you hope to
Theatre Circle
looks for stories
Have you ever had "one of
those days" at work? The
boss mistook you for the
cleaning staff; your coffee
cup leaked all over those new
clothes you just bought (on
credit); your supervisor
introduced you to a com-
puter salesman who started
asking very detailed
questions about your job and
on the way home you had two
flat tires?
And your next-door neigh-
bor had the nerve to com-
ment how nice it would be to
have a cushy job like yours
instead of having to work for
a living?
The Theatre Circle, in one
of its two plays next spring,
wants to tell your story.
Writers from the company
will be working on a new
musical comedy this winter
which will tell the story of
working people and their
problems.
As part of ,the process,
Theatre Circle is holding a
contest to find the best (or
worst) story about earning a,
living. In 100 words or less,
tell the story of your job or of
a particularly bad day you
have had on the job. Send it
to Theatre Circle and if
yours is the best story you
will win two season tickets
for Theatre Circle's
productions next spring.
All entries should be sent
to: The Theatre Circle, Box

survive?" Two months later
Charlie Blogs declared
personal_bankruptcy and. be-
came just another statistic.
How, after all those years
of a thriving business, did
Charlie Blogs' hotdog stand
go bankrupt in . two short
months? The answer is quite
simple. For 20 years Charlie
Blogs had led a simple life.
His only interest in the news
was . whether or not the
Orioles would take the World
Series and who would win the
Super Bowl. Oh, of course he
watched TV and the news,
but none of it held any inter-
est for him and therefore he
paid it no attention. He
hardly knew about the many
recessions that had passed
Afternoon ACW unit
meeting at the manse
FORDWICH—The af-
ternoon unit of the United
Church met recently at the
manse with. Mrs. Cy Marzec
the hostess for the meeting.
The president, Minnie
McElwain, was in charge of
the opening of the meeting.
The ladies sang "For the
Beauty of the Earth",
followed by a prayer.
The roll call, a Thanks-
giving thought, was an-
swered by 21 members.
After the business had been
dealt with, the meeting was
turned over to Mrs. Leo
Ruttan and Mrs,Jack
Wilson.
The scripture lesson from
Psalms was followed a
hymn, "Come Ye Faithful
People, Come". A prayer
was said and Mrs. Pit-
tendreigh read from Psalms.
Mrs. George Richards and
Miss McElwain sang "How
Great Thou Art! "•.
This was followed by a
litany and another hymn, led
by Mrs. Ruttan. She said it is
too bad that so many people
give thanks to God only one
day of the year. Several
ladies in the group read
Bible passages containing
the word "thankful".
Mrs. Wilson said people
forget to be thankful for
everday things like homes,
friends and'.a land of plenty.
She also said people should
give the best of what they
have, even their abilities.
Rev. Marzec closed with a
prayer.
Lunch was served by Mrs.
Marzec, Mrs. Scott
Clarkson, Mrs. Harold Doig
and Mrs. Lorne Kelly.
Hold fall Thankoffering
The Thankoffering service
for Fordwich United Church
Women was held on Sunday
evening. The church was
decorated with flowers and
vegetables.
The meeting opened with a
call to worship which was
conducted by Mrs. W.
Cooper and Mrs. Ben Gibson.
"Come Ye Thankful Peo-
ple Come" was sung, follow-
ed by a poem, and the 100th
Psalm.
Mrs. Cooper gave a medi-
tation on "Make Thanks-
giving an Everyda,Py Habit".
Remember many blessings
God has given to us, she said. '
Mrs. Bruce Kennedy and
Mrs. H. Winkel took up the
Thankoffering.
Mrs. Ben Gibson intro-
duced the guest speaker
Miss Elsie Williams who
spoke and showed pictures
On a mission on the west
coast of Africa where she
spent three months as a lab
technician.
She told of many hardships
of the people. They cut down
trees to help their meagre
existence, but the cutting
down trees is bad for their
country as without trees the
land goes back to desert.
Miss Williams was thank-
ed by Mrs. E. Harding,
4
president, who reminded
members of the fowl supper
to be held on Oct. 24.
An hour of fellowship was
enjoyed.

Duplicate
bridge results
by. He worked hard and sold
his wares and sent his son, of
whom he was so proud,
through school.
Then junior, a man of the
world, graduated. Junior
meant his father no harm,
but he felt he had to warn
him, that, sooner or later, his
business would fail. And so
junior told his father and
humble Charles Sr. believed
him faithfully.
Now, when you tell a per-
son that sooner or Ater they
are going to fail, it should be
obvious that their efforts will
begin to dwindle. After all,
there's no point in
tinuing, is there?
That's the way it is world-
wide. How can a nation even
hope to succeed economic-
ally when at least once a
month some economic coun-
cil somewhere comes out
and says, "The economic re-
coveryshown thus far is
short-lived and we predict
that another small recession
will occur".
There can be nothing that
destroys a person's will to
try more than somebody of a
prestigious status telling
them their efforts will come
to nothing. If somebody of
relatively high rank in
society came out weekly and
said, "Things are getting
better, Country X, keep
trying,' the people would
work harder, believing their
efforts were developing con-
crete results. If you tell a
person he is successful, he
will be successful. The same
would certainly apply to a
country. A country whose
people believe they are suc-
cessful will be able to
weather any economic storm
far better than a country
whose people feel their ef-
forts are coming to nothing:
We as Canadians need
somebody to tell us we're
succeeding, not to tell us to
get ready for another reces-
sion.
A trick of the mind; if you
believe you're succeeding,
you will.
