During his speech he outlined the conimitntent of the County government in striving to preserve and enhance the agricultural .- assets • of Huron County through its planning program. He stated: "It is clear that the land is the life -blood of Huron County and that a coninmunity skilled and oriented to agriculture and the way of life it supports, is the heartbeat which keeps agriculture in a healthy and productive condition," Mr. McCu(cheon discussed the County Plan which was approved in 1973, and the need for the preparation and adoption of secondary .plans and by-laws for each individual municipality within the County. He urged all farmers to attend the planning meetings in their arca and contribute their ideas so that the final plans will meet with their approval. However, secondary plans for the townships can only be developed at the rate of 3 or 4 per year .due to the limitations of the Huron County Planning Department, although another planner will be added to the staff this year. He concluded by saying: "It is my personal conviction that the future prospects of agriculture in Huron County are bright.

Following his speech, Mr. McCutchcon was kept busy fielding many interesting questions from those present who wanted further clarifications of future plans for Huron County.

Although a budget has not yet been drawn up, he that the Federation of Agriculture immediately set up a small steering committee and later expand this to include a representative from each township in the County.

Tentative approval to a limit of about $265,000 was obtained some time ago from the Ministry of Education. The final plans now go hack to the Ministry for final approval, The addition will be to the northwest of the present school building and will be a gymnasium \vith a total floor space of close to 4,000 square feet which \vile include a stage. The present playroom has a floor space of .1,800 square feet. Exeter school principal Jim Chapman who attended the meeting said the existing play room will be converted to change rooms, storage and mechanical space. Chapman said renovations to the south wing would include updating of the lighting and ventilation to bring it up to health and. lire standards, A door will be constructed at the northwest corner of the new gyninasiunm to facilitate easy entry for community use. Exeter trustee Clareince McDonald said in reply to a question by chairman Herb Turkheim that the addition was planned to allow further addition for community use. Principal Chapman said the addition and renovations will "satisfy our needs." Chapman said. he was hopeful the necessary approval would be received to allow completion of the project in time for the September, 1976 term, PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 11, 1976.

The bitter pill to swallow is that most ot''hese buildings are as safe as the day they were built. They haven't changed, het the government's regulations have. And at the same time. while the government is closing down• the arenas, it's also cutting back on government grants that ,Would help rebuild them. This is combined with an inflation rate that has sent the cost of such buildings almost beyond the reach of most small communities. And suppose a eonununity dues spend a half million on a new building. Who's to Nay the government won't change the rules again in 10 or 15 years from now and condemn these buildings. Itrnhably before they're even paid for. There are more Questions than answers. It's another example of the nixed up situation we have between governments in Ontario, where one government can slake a decision and another is left to cope with the consequences. It seems just a matter of time. before Blyth council is going to have to do some coping. We deserve our blackeye Day by day it becomes more evident that the games that were supposed to give a great boost to the Canadian image around the world, the Olympic games of 1976, are instead going to give us a giant black eye. And no country deserves it more. Canadians in general have shown a childish and peevish attitude toward the games ever since they were awarded to Montreal. If they had been given to Toronto or Vancouver or Edmonton or any other Canadian Montreal win meant one more goodie for that city and indirectly to the province of Quebec and the churlish attitudes of most Canadians wouldn't accept that. They forgot that without the enthusiasm and energy of Jean Drapeau Canada probably wouldn't have the games at all, that if Toronto or any other city had been chosen to represent Canada its doubtful the international Olympic Committee would have been persuaded to stage the games here. But the small minds of most Canadians sat back and hoped Drapeau and Montreal and Quebec would fall on its ass, little realizing that Canada as a whole would take the blanc for the mess, not just Drapeau or Quebec. Well there are a few knowing "I,told you so" smiles going around these days. It's a hollow victory. Our nation is going to be ridiculed and laughed at around the world for the mess we've made of the games. Instead of pride we'll have humiliation. Sure most of the blame can be laid at the feet of the egotistical grandeur of Drapeau, the corruption of business and of unions in Quebec, but the smug Canadians who wanted failure of the games arc every bit as much to blame. If we'd shown pride from the start, if we hadn't been so afraid to help out Drapeau or Quebec, the rest of Canada might have had more say in the way things were run, might have been able to ensure things went smoothly. It might have made Drapeau into a hero again, but at least it would have made us a little proud of our country. not ashamed to show our faces. We need strong Conservatives It's all too easy to smile knowingly at the torment the federal Progressive Conservative party is going through in selecting a new leader. The events have borne a sickening resemblance to an old Keystone Cops movie as a cast of thousands, at least a few incompetent, seek the leadership of the party. But this is serious business. The Conservatives must come up with a strong new leader, a man (or woman) who stands a good job of knocking off Prime Minister Trudeau in the next election. We're not suggesting any holy mission to save Canada from evil socialism that some people seem to think the Prime Minister is leading the country to but we arc saying that the success of 'the country depends on competitive political parties. The Conservatives just aren't too competitive these days. - Ideally there should be a fairly regular shift from one party to another in government. Too long a stay in power by one party leads to at best complacency, and at worst, corruption. We've already seen what keeping one party in power for over 30 years can mean in Ontario. We're seeing signs of the same kind of thing in Ottawa with the Liberals. After a while, the party seems to feel it has a dcvine right to rule. The Federal Liberals have held power for all but the short Dcifenbaker period, most of the last 40 years. Mr. Trudeau alone will have been in power for more than 10 years by the next electiaji. The electorate of Canada may again decide he should stay longer, but at least they should have a reasonable alternative if they want a change. the Conservatives must conte up with that alternative. If they don't, democracy will not be in good shape in Canada, Giant pyramid of snow Eaton's catalogue decline a blessing BY BILL SMILEY For young folks and city folks, it won't mean a thing. But for small town and rural folks, especially the older ones, the end of Eaton's catalogue is the end of an era. During a couple of generations, the catalogue was the key to a storehouse of treasure that Aladdin would have envied. Fifty ,years ago. especially for farm people in isolated locations, it was as important as their television set is today. After a day of drudgery, a leaf through the pages was a form of escape for the farm wife. Even though there was no money for more than the essentials, she could dream over the illustrations of furniture, clothing, sets of dishes, curtains. At that time, it was literally one of the very few means of communication with the big world outside. Even if you never received a letter from one year's end to another, you could be sure of receiving mail. You carefully chose what you wanted from the catalogue, made sure you got the right number, sent off your order, and sooner or later there would be a parcel in the mail. Eaton's was as reliable as the Bank of England used to be. Besides its exotic allure, the bulky catalogue had a dozen utilitarian values. People didn't chuck out last year's catalogue, as they would in these careless spendthrift days. Old copies were used as doorstops, in the backhouse, and as insulation. I have personally hitt coMnlunity, paid taxes, and used them, at a tender age, as served his fellow citizens had ainpads for hockey, stuffed some right to feel a little sour inside long woolen socks, when he had to go up against a Manu a boy, in those days faceless. impersonal titan which when the only parts of a woman could operate from a hole in the exposed were her iiands and her wall called an order office, face, learned all about woolen, or contributed virtually nothing to had his first sexual experience. if the community, and could under - you prefer, by sneaking a look at cut his prices every time because the corset ads when his mother it could buy in volume. wasn't watching.

New area residen REPRINTED FROM VILLAGE SQUIRE MAGAZINE The snow is piling ever higher outside their East Wawanosh township farm house near Blyth but sitting snuggly in their kitchen Bev Katzin is saying that she and her husband Ron Walker don't think they'll ever go back to the city, The husband and wife team of artists moved into the old farmhouse on a one-year experi- mental basis. The experiment is likely to become a fixture; Bev says though the moment of truth may not have arrived yet with the .ever -tightening grip of winter, The couple has found so much to' fall in love with in the rolling farmland of Huron county that they find it hard to visualize going back to the city. "If 1 moved back to the city I'd have to move to someplace with a lot of space," she says. Going back to her olds studio in Toronto in a 15 -foot wide row house makes her feel very cramped, she says, after being used to the spaciousness of the Huron landscape and the ramb- ling brick farmhouse. ' Thc couple bought the house and small acreage four years ago as a weekend retreat but decided on the year-long experiment last summer„ They moved in and spent most of their time putting the old house, which had been abandoned for years, back into shape. There were conveniences like indoor plumbing and a furnace to be installed and they have scraped down every piece of wood -work in the building to the bare wood for refinishing. It's kept them so busy that they've found little time for their art until recently, But they've found powerful changes develop- ing in their work, they say, as they settle in to the rural environment. Both are natives of a prairie environment, Ron from Saskatoon and Bev from Calgary and they find they have feeling for landscape. The prairie land- scape gives an artist a feeling of great potential Ron says. "Both of us have a sensitivity to landscape." Yet each has a different style than the other. The differences in style are particularly noticeable in one work done by each of them of the same scene, a scene in Spain that they sketched while on a tour some time ago through Europe. Ron'slino-cut print version of the scene is realistic to the average viewer, stressing old, oil drums in the foreground of a scene that festures a railway track and a long, slopping mountain crowned by a medieval castle. Bev's work, THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 11, 1976. PG. 5. s say they like country life Ron Walker works on a drawing at his drawing board in his farm house in East Wawanosh township about three miles west of Blyth. however, though still a, landscape is startlingly different, Her eye reduces the scene to the rythm of the lines of the Iandscapc, to a pattern of flowing lines and colours. Both are effective, though totally different. Most of the work that Ron has done in the past centred around city scenes, particularly, the Queen Street arca of Toronto where he had his studio. His drawings arc sold through the Gadatsy Gallery in Yorkville, the fashionable shopping arca of Toronto. Bev's work is handled through the Merton Gallery in Torontd, Shc recently took part in an Ontario Arts Council sponsored tour called Artist -5 -Tour Ontario, an International Women's Year project that also featured Irene Blogg, May Marx, Anne fvierc- dith Barry and Ruth Tidying. She works primarily with silk screen- ing, turning out limited -edition prints. Her work, which began she said with very hard -edged features, has softened now into subtle hues and line's -that create a feeling of depth. This change is continuing in her new environment. She says she can't .wait to .really have the time to start putting the local landscapes down on paper. "I stop every day and just look at the sky changing, she says.. "I'm sure people around here think we're crackers," Actually they've found the neighbours very warm and interested in their rejuvenation of the old house. They've developed good relationships with the farm families that inhabit most of the other farm homes in the arca. While both enjoy country life, it can have its problems for artists. Slow" mail delivery, for instance, recently meant they missed a chance to take part in two important exhibitions because the notices didn't arrive until too late. Getting materials can also be a challenge but one Bcv is looking forward to. Artists, she says, tend to work with what they have at hand •and so lack of ready access to the usual materials may Continued on Page 5 Ron and wife Bev have a growing reputation for their work Toronto and other cities but chose to live in the Blyth area. Dear Mom DEAR MOM AND DAD, hope that you won't get mad at me for writing this letter, but you always told me never to keep anything back that ought to be brought out into the open. So here goes. Renumber the other morning when my team was playing and both of you were sitting and watching. Well, I went after the puck in front of the net trying to score and fell. I could hear you, yelling at the goalie for getting in my way and tripping me. It wasn't his fault, that is what he is supposed to do. Then do you remember yelling at me to get on t1tc other side of the blue line. The coach told me to cover my pian, and 1 couldn't if I listened to you, and while I tried to decide they scored against us. Then you yelled at me for being in the wrong place. You shouldn't have jumped all over the coach for pulling me off the ice. He is a pretty good coach, and a good guy, and he knows what he is doing. Besides he is just a volunteer coming down at all hours of the day helping us kids, and Dad in just because he loves the sport. And then neither of you spoke to me the whole way home, I guess you were pretty sore at me for not getting a goal. I tried awfully hard, but 1 guess 1 am a crummy hockey player. But 1 love the game, it is lots of fun being with the other kids and learning to compete, it is a good sport, but how can 1 learn if you don't show me a good example, and anyhow 1 thought I was playing hockey for fun, to have a good time, and to learn good sportsmanship. I didn't know that you •vere going to get so upset, because 1 couldn't become a star. LOVE, YOUR SON.

School board finally agrees on increased mileage payments Five field trips were approved at Wednesdays meeting of the Huron County Board of Education. Four were for students of South Huron District High School in Exeter and the fifth concerned F. E. Madill secondary school in Wingham. The Winghani :students will be spending two days on a weekend late in February at Moonstone Ski Resort at Coldwater. The 35 students Will be accompanied by two teachers. Each student will pay about $20 for the trip and the student council will be contributing $150, There is not cost to the board. Superintendent W; D. Kenwcll said the annual trip 4s an extension of the regular physical education program in the school. The first of the four South Huron trips will be for 25 to 30 members of the Senior Outers club to,the Jewitt farm, west of Varna on Febrary 12 with return the next day. Thc students will be accompanied by' vice-principal Herb Murphy and teachers Carl Mills 'and Ken Ottewell. The only charge for gas used in the bus will be taken. care of by the students. Mr. Mills is licensed to drive the bus. Teacher John Holmes will accompany 25 Junior Outers on a' three-day winter camping trip to the Pinery Provincial Park leaving the school on Friday, February 20 and returning Sunday. About 20 Grade 12 " and" 13 French students will be spending five days on an exchange trip to Quebec leaving February 17. Superintendent Bob Allan said the exchange would be to a high school in Quebec where Rae Wild of the 1nresent South Huron staff spent a year on exchange. ,About 38 South Huron history students will be travelling to Washington on April 8 to acquire a greater understanding and appreciation of the American system. Students of the History 550 have studied the American Constitution in detail and have completed seminar work on the Presidency, They will be accompanied by teachers Joe"•Fulop, Joe Hogan and Pat Rowe. The matter of increasing the travelling allowance' for . members of the Huron County Board of Education and employees of the board was finally settled Wednesday after three months of discussion and recommendations. The motion to increase the mileage rate for non -board member appointees to board committees and all employees to 19 cents per mile was- made by Ken Cooke of Clinton and Clarence McDonald of Exeter. In the same motion which was recommended by the managment commit- tee the mileage rate for board 'members will remain at 15 cents per mile travelled on board business. At the board meeting on November 3, 1975, the Chairman's Advisory Committee presented a recommendation to increase the board's mileage rate from 15 cents per mile to 18 cents per mile. This was rejected and referred to the Management Commit- tee for its recommendation, On December 1, the Management Committee recommended to the Board that it adopt the mileage allowance plan used by Huron County Council whereby elected members and employees who are relatively high mileage drivers be paid 19 cents per mile and relatively low mileage drivers be paid $60 per'month and 14 cents per mile. This was also rejected and due to the lack of time the 1976 management committee was asked to study the question at its meeting on January 16 and the recommendation which was finally approv- ed was suggested. The rate of 15 cents per mile came into effect on October 1, 1973 for all board members, appointees and employees. • PAY TRIBUTE TO STAFF On the subject of Professional Develop- ment Days, Director of Education a PD day, set for January 26. Cochrane said he has already received requests from some schools to have a PD day scheduled for February 25 changed to an instructional day. The board agreed the matter of PD days would be left to each individual principal and staff, Each school principal in consultation with his staff will be asked to develop a school year calendar for the balance of the 1975-76 school where which reflects the best interests of the students and submit it to the Director of Education.

Couple likes Continued from Page 5 force them into experimentatipn with things around them. Bev is already familiar with . experimentation. Upset by the high cost of framing works of art, she experimented with silk screened prints on pexi-glass that could be hung in front of a light source, The prints were built up in layers of glass, each one printed with a different portion of the picture. The result was a three-dimensional effect. The result was also expensive. The cost of pexi-glass skyrocketed and shot down the plan to produce works several feet square. 'Still remaining, however, arc small works four inches by four inches with tiny scenes in dream-like atmosphere. Experimentation comes natur- ally to Bev. Her training actually isn't in art, but in medical research. She came from a family, she recalls, where everyone was expected to take a course in a field that would provide a good living. So she took a lab technology course and only later began to drift more toward art. She took night courses and other short -courses but!1'ctually has no formal art training. She began to take art seriously in 1970 when she worked late at night on art and kept up with the lab job during the daytime. About 1972 she reduced her lab work to part-time and spending the rest of the time on art. She got lucky, she recalls, and landed a job at Centennial College in Scarboro teaching art. She had taken courses there and happened to be there when they needed a teacher and was recommended for the job by a former teacher. "You have to learn a lot' more when you teach a subject," she says of that teaching experience. Always knowing that students would . come up with tough questions, she delved much deeper into all aspects of the subject and improved her own knowledge. country life By contrast, Ron has a much more formal art background. He studied under Roy Kiyooka at Regina College School of art at the Unversity of Saskatchewan where he received a graduate scholarship. He wept on to study at the Vancouver School of Fine -.Art, the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, graduating with degrees in English, Art, and art educ- ation. He was an art head for the North York Board of Education and exhibited in various print- making competitions and travel• ling shows including the' Can- adian Society of Painter -Etchers and Engravers, Canadian Print- makers Showcase and Graphics Canada. Though both have established reputations in the art world, life is not ease for an artist in Canada. About 99 per cent of Canadian artists have another job, Bcv says. Competition is fierce and many young artists don't know what they're ,getting into when they decide to be•artists. Besides the competion there arc the costs involved. Of a $60 price for a work in a gallery, Bev points out, 50 per cent oft' the top goes to the gallery as commission on the sale. The rest can easily be eaten up in the cost of materials, including framing which can cost $60.70 for some works. These costs, and the costs of renovating the old house have sent the pair looking for jobs since they moved to the country. Both now teach courses for Conestoga College at the Vanastra Centre.

PG. 7. Government to withdraw advertising from violent television program s Ontario viewers won't be seeing government advertising in violence -centred television pro- grams, according to information given to the Royal Commission on Violence in the Communications Industry by Claude Bennett, Ontario Minister of Industry and Tourism, Mr. Bennett advised the commission he acted at the request of Premier William Davis in formally issuing instructions that Ontario government adverti- sing not be purchased in such TV shows but be placed elsewhere in the broadcast schedule. The Ministry of Industry and Tourism has acted on behalf of all ministries, boards, agencies and commissions, Mr, Bennett ex- plained, because his ministry - through its Agency -of -Record - is assigned responsibility for pur- chasing all Ontario government advertising in Canada. This centralized nurchasing Trinity church holds annual meeting Members of Trinity Anglican Church, Blyth held their annual meeting on January 28 at the Rectory, Rev, Fred Carson was chair- man for the meeting and Mrs. Anne McNichol was appointed Vestry Clerk, The meeting opened with a Scripture reading and prayer by the Rector. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approved, followed by a moment of Remembrance and prayer for deceased members since the last annual meeting. The financial report - January 1975 was examined and approv- ed. The proposed budget for 1976 was discussed and accepted. The following officers were appointed: Rector's Warden, Edward Quinn; People's Warden, Edward Wat- son; Lay Delegate Synod, Mrs. Anne McNichol; alternate, Mrs. Lottie McLellan. Mrs. Anne Nesbit was appoint- ed Tr( : surer. George Powell was returned as Auditor for 1976. Rcv, Fred Carson gave his report of the work in parish in the past year and thanked every one for the help and support that had been given him. He was thanked for his service and dedicated work to the parish in the year 1975. The meeting closed with the Rev. Carson leading in prayer. Lunch was served by the ladies and very worthwhile fellowship hour vas spent together. SUNDAY, FEB. 15 RAIN OR SNOW THE SERVICE WILL GO REPOR FROM H ITI CHAPE LITE 8 PM HURON MEN'S CHAPEL AUBURN COMING NEXT SUNDAY—FILM "THE GOSPEL ROAD" with JOHNNY CASH "EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING", procedure was introduced by the Ontario government in 1975, qualifying it for reduced rates and volume discounts from the media for placing all orders for time and space in newspapers, radio and television through one agency. Mr. Bennett said that Foster Advertising Company Limited, the agency which operates the Agency -of -Record purchasing unit for the provincial govern- ment was instructed by his Ministry officials last week to refrain from buying time in regularly scheduled TV programs where the central theme is developed by the use of violence either through guns or brute physical force. He said his communication of this policy to the LaMarsh Commission confirmed what in fact the Foster Agency -of - Record's time -buyers had been doing officially, "as a matter of judgment and good taste." Ontario tourism advertising on U.S. border television stations also comes under this policy, Mr. Bennett added. HOW WE DEFINE VIOLENCE... The Nature of Violence: Violence is action which in- trudes painfully or harmfully into the physical, psychological or social well-being of persons or groups. Violence or its effect may range from trivial to catastrophic. Violence may be obvious or subtle. It may arise naturally or by human design. Violence may take place against person or against property. It may be justified or unjusti- fied, by some standards and, not by others. It may be real oic symbolic. Violence may be sudden or gradual., The Nature of Media Violence Violence depicted in film, television, sound, print or live performance, is not necessarily the same as violence in real life. Things not violent in reality may be violent in their portrayal. Violence presented in the media may reach large numbers of people, whereas real violence may not. The media may use many artificial devices to lessen or to amplify its emotional and social effects. Violence depicted may do hamr the original violence may not have done - or it may have no impact at all.

Two weeks ago I thought 1 might be pregnant so 1 went to my gynecologist (same one I'd been going to for three years). He gave me a urine test and it was positive. He then asked me if I wanted the pregnancy "interrup- ted." 1 was scare.d and upset and Get second medical opinion, said "yes," We made an appointment for an abortion to be performed the following week, Three days later 1 began AO think perhaps 1 wasn't pregnant, l went to a neighborhood clinic and took another test, It came out negative. I was thrilled, The next day 1 decided to go back to my regular doctor and tell him about the second test. He examined me again and said, "Weld From now on we're going to call you the 'Mystery Girl!' You have a cyst, Nothing to worry about." Can you imagine a doctor scheduling an abortion for a woman who wasn't even preg- nant? And what about a doctor who doesn't know the difference between a cyst and a pregnancy? The moral of my story is "get a second opinion, Isn't this shocking? -- Relieved But Upset DEAR R BUT U: Nothing shocks me anymore. But it is frightening when one considers what might have happened to you. I always suggest a second opinion before undergoing any kind of surgery. Doctors arc not infallible. Unfortunately, their mistakes can result in far more serious consequences than a plumber's mistake -- or a sales clerk's. The Blyth Library has new books THE HOMECOMING by NORAH LOFTS.

When Sir Godfrey Tallboys returned to his Suffolk home he had brought Tana, the Moorish slave - girl, with him. The arrival of Tana influenced the course of the Tallboys family fortune radically. His true heir Henry, who inherited the family estates, presents a picture of life in England at that time, while Tana's daughter presents a different side of living. THE SEAWAY STORY by CARLETON MABEE For sixty years the Seaway has been one of the most controver- sial questions in North America. In 1954 Mabee immersed himself in the project. obtaining informa- tion from promoters, town plan- ners, and people forced out of their homes. The result is the vivid account of the conception, promotion anil operation of one of the key arteries of world commerce, As the author lives with family in the St. Lawrence Valley, he gives this book a first • hand knowledge of the topic.

THE TWENTY-ONE BALLOONS by WILLIAM PENE DU BOIS. This is a story of the most . incredibly fabulous voyage around the world in the history of travel. More than half of this book is based on scientific truths, the rest is absolute nonsense.

DEAR ANN LANDER& 1 have been going to this beauty shop for ten years. The woman who always did my hair left in December. She turned me over to Mr, Bruce who was new. Mr. Bruce gave me a perman- ent two weeks ago. He became rattled and put the.wrong solution on my hair. Then he tried to rinse it out but it was too lat9. The damage was done, When he finished with ,me I looked like 1 had a green Afro. 1 went to the owner in tears. She said, "Sorry, dear, mistakes do happen. Come back next week and we'll see what we can do," (The perm cost me $25.) ' I looked so awful I stayed in the house for four days and then went out and bought a wig. The following week 1 went back to Mr. Bruce. He decided to cut my hair and give me a more expensive permanent and a color job. I was desperate and willing to try anything. Well, the results were horrible. Now I look like a red-headed, kinky -haired rat. I'm taking conditioning treat - !Bents which are costly and time-consuming. Friends thought I should have sued, bbt I didn't want to. What is your opinion of all this? -- Frizzled arrd Frazzled DEAR FRIZZ: When Mr. Bruce goofed, the owner of the shop should have offered to put your hair back in condition for free, Mistakes Do happen, but the responsible party lin this case the shop own r) has an obligation to do everything possible to rectify the situation.

TIIE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 11, 1976, Students advise on cosm v'fkks CAVEAT EMPTOR • COSMETICS Women have always wanted to be able to improve or beautify themselves. Cosmetics have been the answer, They arc substances which will not cause any physical change but will promote attract- iveness, There arc somethings you should remember and look for' when you purchase cosmetics, just as you do when buying food or clothes. You should make sure when buying mascara, that you're getting the eye lash covering and _ not the lash extenders. Mascara which covers the lashes is just a colouring but lash 'extenders contain fuzz which makes the lashes thicker. This could be harmful to people who wear contact lenses. In applying mascara, be sure not to get it in your eves, be sure you have nothing on your hands and especially careful not to poke the mascara applicator in your eye, since it could damage your cyc. You can get lipstick which arc arc indelible or just lip colouring. The lip colouring is preferable since the indelible lipstick may cause irritation to your lips. Your best buy would be the non -aller- genic lipstick. Eye shadows can sometimes be harmful if they contain abrasives, which could get in your eye and cause damage. The only thing, therefore, to remember when Yvonne Youngblut scores well in bowling Yvonne Youngblut hao_a big night at last week's competition in the Clinton•Blvth Ladies' Bowling league. She has the second highest single. a 275 behind Nellie Burkholder; the second highest triple, a 743 and the third hest average, 201. Other top bowlers there Mary Davey with the top avcra);c of 218 and Rena Kolkman with the second best average, 205: Nellie Burkholder with the top single Of' 206 and Sue McFadden with the third best single of 273 and Edna Atkinson with the hest triple of 747 and Nellie Burkholder with the third hest triple ()I' h86.

When you•are shopping for face creams you should be aware that hormone creams can be danger- ous if they contain too Targe an amount of the Hormone, Also they haven't been proven to ntoisturing skin any more tban any other face creams. Most kinds of toothpaste 'are alike, They all clean but they do not brighten as much as the commercials say they do. A further guard against tooth decay is to use dental 'floos. This removes any food particles from between your teeth so it doesn't decay. Hair colours may cause skin irritation so a patch test should be done before you do the complete colouring. Never use a bit of leftover colouring on eyelashes or eve brows. This could cause blindness. If you are about to buy a cosmetic which you've never used, but the small sine, in case you aren't satisfied with it. If you aren't familiar with the brand name of a product, buy a product under a brand name you like and know to be good. Therefore when buying cosine- tics be just as selective as wheel, doing other shopping. Know the facts rind shop accordingly. BACKWARDS DAY If any visitors had come to Madill and viewed the student's dress on Friday, I'ni sure he would have left quickly—feeling very confused. It was ''Back• wards Day' at Madill and many enthusiastic students participated in this particular part of our Winter Carnival. There were kids with their shirts, jumpers and skirts on backwards, socks and necklaces turned around. and even lvith jeans on back-to•front (these students found getting up staircases extremely challeng- ing). sometimes you were left in genuine wonder—did she really mean to put that on wrong? Some kids just dressed in their usual manner and still qualified. To say the least, ,it was a confused and hilarious day for teachers and sttt'dents. Thanks to all who took part.
