MacRAE'S CLASS visited some patients at the Wingham and District Hospital last Wednesday. They Baptismcelebrated at Knox United Church BELGRAVE — A very large congregation wit- nessed the sacrament of baptism celebrated at Knox United Church on Sunday. Rev. John G. Roberts con- ducted the service. Mrs. George Procter, organist, presided for the prelude and service. The minister chose scripture readings from Romans and Corinthians related to baptism. He stated that baptism is a practice celebrated since the beginning of the church. Baptism is never a private thing. Baptism is always joining the church. As a Christian you must stand up for your principles, but not to the extent of destroying another's faith. Each is a part of Christ's people. Following the message, the order of baptism as presented in the Service Book was used to receive the infants: Cole Albert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Vincent; Candace Lenore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Procter; Travis John, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hopper; Kenneth John, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- Cracken; Elissa Lindsay Rose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Nixon and Paul Douglas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Walker into the church. The large choir of mixed voices sang a baptism hymn with organ accompaniment. sang songs and inspected the patients' costumes.

JOE WALKER Bluevale Well the Hallowe'en spirit has slowly faded away and I'm sure all the candy will gO or has gone just as fast. I think it's also safe to say that' all the trees are bare and the days and nights are colder than in October. The drama club had two excellent presentations last Tuesday: "The Littlest Witch" and "Hagshead". All the little people in our school enjoyed these two plays. While we're on the topic of Hallowe'en, the great pumpkin (Clyde) had 483 seeds inside of -him. All the pupils guessed different numbers ranging from six to 2,000 andthen placed their guesses in a box. After the seeds were counted, it was discovered that Michelle MacDonald hit it on the nose. Michelle gets a new book as her prize. Once again our school nurses are coming around with that yucky pink stuff on little white cardboard' pieces. Each year the nurses come and offer free flouride brushings from the health unit. I'm sure all the students are very thankful for this benefit, but when it comes to brushing, everyone wants to change their minds. —Ria Linardatos The Kindergartens have been very busy working on Hallowe'en activities. Some of their crafts can be seen down at the Bank of Com- merce. Last Wednesday there were no children, but there were a lot of scary little witches, ghosts and goblins. The children of the afternoon class wore their costumes and shared their party with the residents at the Brookhaven nursing home. —Bill Grant Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perry of Cape Croker visited for a few days last week with Mr. and Mit. Mel Craig and other Bluevale and area friends.

Mrs. Szarek's Grade 4 class had a safe and happy Hallowe'en, getting lots of candy. The pupils helped to put on a scary Hallowe'en play. They read spooky stories and poems, which they wrote themselves. They had a lot of special Hallowe'en treats that many parents helped to make. —John MacDonald The Hallowe'en party was a great success for Mrs. Martin's Grade 3s. Parent helpers were the audience for the program and helped serve the snacks. The parents were very original in the food and the preparations. All the kids read their stories or poems and they sang three short songs. They all were par- ticipants in some way, whether in costume or with the program. —Kira Stuckey Last Wednesday, Hallo- we'en Day, Mrs. Schedler's and Mrs. Kings class went to the Wingham Day Centre for the Homebound. They danced, had treats and then came back for their own party and paraded in cos- tume from room to room. —Joe Walker Everyone enjoyed bobbing for apples and playing games during the Hallowe'en party in Miss Buist's room. The children also went for a parade around the school and made cookies. The class had the school's computer for a while too. —Mike Cullen Meet the author!

Cathy Thompson, nutri- tionist with the Huron Health Unit, said Marilyn Chedu of Brantford, an anorexia ner- vosa victim, will tell her story at the Achievement nights. Ms'. Thompson describes Ms. Chedu as a "powerful speaker". While the nutritionist says there are no statistics, there are definitely cases of anorexia nervosa in Huron County.
