When the stallion runs away one morning, Alex spends the whole day searching for him.

Together, Alex and the trainer whip the Black into shape, for the racing. season, and enter a -race between two of the fastest horses in the world and the Black, alias the Mystery Horse. Many times throughout the film you -.can guess and ex- pect what is going to happen next, which takes away. the feeling of suspense and excitement. You would expect a movie such as this, to be sentimentaland gushy, but a great surprise to me was that if was far from being labelled•a.tear-jerlker.

Liz Brydges,11A Beating th their own It not rare hi any sport to find disagreements over the subject of fair play. Unfor- tunately, and more often than not, discoveries of foul play are either swept under ,:the carpet or missed by an -intentional blind: - Mr. Stuckey, a phys ed. teacher and junior volleyball coach, brought such a dis- covery to the school last week and was very deter- mined to solve the problem in some way. The issue at hand concerns allowing players from city leagues who practise and • train year round to compete on school teams against other players who train only during the season. The issue has been brought in front of the league a number of times, but it ' 'fails to get response or genuine interest. Mr. Stuckey appears to be at the end of his rope and for em at game • the time being .intends to follow, the old adage, "If you can't beat them, join them." He has set up a task force' and anyone who is eligible to play junior volleyball next season is encouraged to join. They will be practising and learning skills involved in voil'eyball so that when they compete against the teams who, use city league players there will be less difference in ability and more fairness in the game. • Of course this is fine for our school, but what about those who have neither the time nor space to develop a task force? It seems to the that unless the league takes a hand in this nothing will be solved but it is encouraging to know that there are people like Mr. Stuckey who have the guts to stand up and fight the system. Lynne Nicolson Elections held for Student Council This past week -at F. E. Madill has been a busy one for the candidates for next year's student council. It may not be of major im- portance to those outside F. E. Madill: but to the students here it is more important than last month's provincial elections. During the course of the campaign we must decide who will be our leaders on next year's stu- dent council. Election Day is very important since these people will make the dif- ference between a good and bad year. The students who are seeking election are very dedicated (and brave) nem*, They have shown great school spirit by pledging their time and ef- forts to make school year '81- '82 a special year. The job ahead of them is not an easy one because it takes boors of planning, hard work, and determination to make the student council a success. The student council, how- ever, is not "all work and no play". For the successful candidates there also will be great reward and pride in the work they do. We must wait until next Tuesday to find out who will be on next year's student council. In the meantime, however, listen to their ideas and promises before you decide how to vote. If next year is to be a success we must have the best student council possible and this can only be obtained by seriously listening to the candidates. I would like to extend to all the the candidates my best wishes for a successful campaign.

Madill to reveal the superb theatrical talents that other wise go unnoticed: - Yes! You guessed it, the Drama Cli b is gearing'upfor another fine display of talent and you can be a part of it. This year the Drama Club is doing something different than most years. Instead of full length - operetta it is. planning to present three one -act plays that range from the humorous to the dramatic. Should the plays goas planned it Will prove to be an entertaining, worth- while evening. Also, anyone remotely interested in a good time, challenges, and meeting people should join right away, whether to work behind the scenes or upfront. So, if you want to join do it right away since rehearsals and coi►truction are under- way! Bernice Passchier Sandwiches for supper? No law eycists which states sandwiches are only for lunch. In these busy days, the evening meal can often be a' flurry of activity where people have little time to sit down and eat a large meal, if indeed the homemaker has had time to prepare a large meal. • One answer is to take the lunch sandwich, make it .more hearty and serve it for supper. Layer ham and swiss cheese between slices of a favorite bread. Chives and mustard add a special flavor. Dip the entire sand- wich in a beaten egg and fry until golden brown. Another favorite is bar- becued beef buns. These are quick, simple and popular. Place thin slices of leftover roast beef in a heavy, fry pan and cover with barbecue sauce. Heat slowly over low heat until it is hot and bubbly. Serve generous helpings over crusty rolls or thick slices of French bread. Combine leftover roast and- gravy for more traditional, but still delicious, hot sandwiches: chicken, turkey, beef or pork. to wgt 1 i pl ttlon: ' 11 it from -a ragged' , t iris td whi snow thud Octo e Al , NoWr as l look, there is . strange yew purple s in the of o l e e electric ion l� the darkened bran low ss d o better hear:the ening; . heartbeats of he away, a bird tob amongst the clot)! , `cath in the passion of the windand ' perhaps in its own fantasy, Even in class, the mount- ing tension in the sky as fella- restless students hosidO;itne To.si rustle their papers dis- an tractedly and watch.

Council also establish a fine of $25 for failure to licence a dog. Previously when the dog catcher ap- prehended an unlicenced pooch, the owner was sinaply required to purchase the $4.00 tag. Council agreed to publish the new bylaw and it will take effect two weeks later. 0-4-0 Council : received a letter from ole police chief pointing oin violations of liquor laws which have been occurrhig on town property. The chief mentioned the Kinsmen bar upstairs in the Armouries; .sports clubs using the Armouries without a licence, drinking in the dressing rooms at the arena and in the bathhouse at the park along Minnie Street. Councillor Tom Miller said the first two infractions are covered under the Ar- mouries agreement, and the Kinsmen are applying for a club licence. Following his police committee report, Coun- cillor Jim Currie said he feels some people have mis- understood his statements about the police department. He has always been a diligent supporter of the police and believes Wingham has one of the best depart- ments in western Ontario, he declared. However he addedlhat the police department can't be treated like a "sacred cow"; it must justify its costs just like any other department. He said he has no arguments about the quality of service; he simply is asldrig Whether there are alternatives. 0-0-0 The contract for repairs to the old post office building has been awarded to Alex MacDonald Construction-, of Mr. iiiiittonalL' " 'Udder' was the only onexecelyed on the project.

The tender was sOmewbst above the slue() cotmoil-had budgeted for the building repairs, but council decided to accept it anyway rather than call new tenders, ex- pressing confidence that Mr. MacDonald will do a gocid job. Council agreed to donate , $350 to the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Retarded to help with the cost of operating the Silver Circle Nursery School. The association has been requesting grants from area municipalities to help cover its costs, 'which amount- to about $7,000 a year. It is responsible for 13 per cent of the nursery school's operating costs, with the provincial government covering the remaining 87 per cent. Howeyer council suggested another look should be taken at the Silver Circle's transportation contract, which some councillors Said is too high.
