'When doing things for yourself let your head be your guide., -When doing things for others let your heart be your guide. - And its also good advice - never let your left hand know what your right hand gives. Two weeks ago I asked my friends to give me their news. But you couldn't guess how: few friends I've got. T. . guess I have some but they were busy, a Firm recommends sewer guide lines Canadian - Mitchell Associates Ltd, the engineering firm that designed the sewer system for Port Perry has recom- mend to Council that certain guide lines be followed for * the installation of private sanitary drain connections. A letter dated November 1, "and signed by Mr. C.J.H. Kretch, Director, recom- mends that a homeowner engage a licensed drain layer or plumber to, do the installations,and that the" location and the depth of the service connection be ob- tained from the Village Clerk. It is also suggested i in the letter that excavation be made of the existing service connection to determine the available fall {from house to service connection) and that "Struction the private drain be placed to suit this fall. If the existing fall is found not to be suf; ficient, ~ Clairson- Con- representative Scott Kenny, and OWRC Plant Operator Lorne Rourke should be advised. If it is determined that existing service can and should be lowered, then it should be done on in- structions from OWRC. If it is- found. that the existing service cannot be lowered, then the private drain is to be . installed to accommodate first floor drainage only. Reeve Robert Kenny said _that in "his "opinion the recommendations are really nothing new, and added that he would like to see homeowners adhere to the suggestions. - Several from our midst attended the Faith Festival on Sunday in Oshawa.

Huntley of Whtiby Local students to participate in Science Day Five Grade 13 math students from _ Cartwright High School will take part in a Computer Science Day at 'the University of Waterloo on November 20. The Cartwright. students, accompanied ~ by math teacher Ray Ashton, will be part of nearly 300 students and teachers from schools across Ontario who will visit the university. . Each week, a different group of secondary school students takes part in the programme sponsored by the University's Faculty of Mathematics, and Department of Computer Science. It is hope that by the end of this year, more than 7,000 teachers and students will have taken part in the Computer Day On Saturday, the students § will be given a series of lectures on computer programming, vocational guidance, and the actual use of a. computer. The university says that mapy of the students who attend already have a working knowledge of computer language, and these students will be given the allowed to policies (continued) legally drink and vote." They feel that the no- smoking policy is + hypocritical, since students who smoke light up as soon as they get off school property anyway. They also ..claim that other schools in. the area like Uxbridge, have smoking rooms in the school Mr. MacDonald admits that he would like "to get the smokers off the streets," but says that the no smoking policy comes from the Board of Education, and applies to all school property. Schools that now have smoking rooms, have had them since prior to the formation of the new board in 1969. . One of the students added . that the threat of suspension for breaking the rules 'hangs like a: big hammer." The students themselves admit that last year the rules in some cases were too lax. But this year, they say the whole thing has gone full circle, with the strict rules creating a prison-like at- mosphere. Because some abused the privileges last year, they say, all the students are forced to pay this year. i Mr. MacDonald says there can be 'no half-way measures in this case. They (students) are either in or they're out." called on a few of her farmer neighbours recently. Mrs. G. Plaunt, Lindsay and sister Mrs. A. Harper, Port Perry visited another sister Mrs. H.

ART PETROZZI "The Lure And Lilt of the Homeland" By the Happy Wanderer On a perfectly lovely day we sailed from Kyle of Lochalsh for Stornoway in Lewis. The skirling of the: pipes 'proved an effective background as the ship nudged away from the harbour. It takes more than four hours to make the trip which at certain scasons of year can be very dangerous. We watched the Coolins etched against a 'cloudless sky, while squaking sea" §} gulls followed us right to the end of the journey. All were sophisticated and none left trade marks on the upward glancing passengers. The Provost of Stornoway was down to greet us complete with his golden chain and full highland dress to afford us a truly civic welcome. In a well worded speech he gave all the guests the freedom of the island, and some thought a dangerous thing to do with so many Macleod's and 'would be's footlose at the same time. They discharged their honour with the dignity one expects from such a noble clan. We were directed to our overnight accomodation and it was clear our hostess was a bit puzzled by some of the 'interlopers' who had 'gatecrashed.' It looked as if - Macleod's were coming out of the clothes cupboards. No, you must not think we were forcibly ejected for that would be unthinkable by Lewis standards. A better word is 'persuasion'and a taxi whisked us to another part of the town in what turned out to be a very happy mistake. In the home of Mrs. Kinnaird in Kenneth" Street we were to make a fascinating discovery. A few yards from where we spent the night a lad by the name of Alexander Mackenzie was born that was to become world renowned. Alexander Mackenzie was the first white man to cross the Canadian Rockies and explore the Pacific. The river that bears his name in British Columbia is calculated to keep that name very much alive. Much should be said about the cultural influence of Lewis and the part the Nicolson Institute has played in producing some truly talented people that have enriched the world. ee We found Stornoway to be a fascinating town with great stores bright tartans and an endless variety of Harris tweeds. i . : Some of the tweeds and assorted materials were to make a very real impression on us physically on a bus trip to Tarbert. As it happened, we had the worst bus on the road. The springs had long since given up or given in. We made our way over tortuous roads on the tops of the mountains. This is where the fun really started. On racks overhead resting precariously, were parcels' of all shapes and sizes and weights. At some of the hairpin bends they decided they had enough of straphanging and wanted a change of location. Bald heads ahead of us came in for the brunt of it. Those that had balmorals were lucky. But you couldn't predict whether it would be a kilt length that would smack you on the cranium and scatter the sawdust in the brain, or a sporran that would tickle your ears. One lady from New Jersey was surprised that we should have so much fun in the Highlands and that it was all free. We stopped by the wayside to see the remains of a whale's jawbone washed up by the tide many years ago. It was the archway for a gate and the harpoom) that finished the fish was in the centre as proof. An American friend nearby said 'Golly I can believe now that Jonah was gobbled up by a mighty big fish".. The height was bettér than twenty feet. Our day finished as. we joined the ship at Tarbert Harris and the drizzling rain could not damp our spirits. It leaked out that Dame Flora Macleod was to be piped ahoard and it meet her informally in the dining saloon was a tremendous joy. She is the soul of' graciousness and little wonder that she has endeared herself to not only Macleod's but to people:all around the world. Our trip to Lewis was momentous and happy.
