Point out who the clerks uniform of some kind and AU KIL TLE AE KS Mommy, I got lost! Sooner or later, every child gets lost. It may only be for a minute or two in a crowded until it happens to your child to explain what to do when it does. Otherwise he or she may panic - and accept help from the wrong person. Make a game of it. "What would you do if you got "Then what?" Explain that he or she must never, never leave the store, alone or with someone who says, "T'll help you find your mommy." that one of them can always be asked for help. The clerk can take the child to the manager if necessary, and the manager will find you. Explain similar things to do if he or she gets lost in another place - the department store, on the way home from school, or anywhere on the street. Very early teach your children to use a pay tel- ephone. Make sure they always have a quarter or a whatever it takes to use one in your locality. Stress that this is NOT spending money. It's to be used only for an emergency telephone call. See that they memo- rize their telephone number and perhaps the number of a neighbour who's apt to be home if you're not.

With Brouillard running her own business and Morissette experiencing health problems, the couple has decided their weekend venture is becoming too much for them. Especially since their children are no longer interested in working on the family business. It's not that Morissette re- ally wants to retire. Andeven with illness interfering he still can't imagine himself just sit- ting around. That's why he set up his chip wagon in Georgetown in 1994 and still works there most days. Brouillard loves cooking and baking and used to do a lot of pies, tarts and pastries for sale. Then they encoun- tered an entrepreneur ninning a fry wagon and saw poten- tial to expand their own busi- ness. Morissette says they worked the Erin Fall Fair with a Guelph woman in 1977 to get the hang of the business, then set up their own truck at the Acton fair the next year. Acton was their first and over the years their operation grew. At one point they were working 50 fairs a year around the province with up to four trucks and crews in different places each weekend. Each crew, which included three to 15 people depending on the size and duration of the event, was headed up by one mem- ber of the family. This year they cut back to eight fairs which Bouillard headng up the crews. Next year, if they are still working, Morissette predicts they'll only be doing three or four fairs. It takes about 12 people to handle the crowd at their Acton operation, Morissette says. They use 3.5 to 4 tons of potatoes and eight to 10 deep fryers to keep up with customer demand. CeO To the Editor, Well, another Acton Fall Fair has passed and it is at this point that I would like to thank all those involved in the parade. My appreciation goes out to all those who participated either directly or indirectly and gave their time and en- ergy not only this year but in past years as well. Tf only it were possible to name them all, but there are so many that I would not risk leaving anyone out. My thanks go out to one and all. Michael Arnott, Parade coordinator Oppose change...
