Who leaves the gates open is not known. Although there is a no hunting law in Hope township, there are hunters, and other vehicles go back in these fields at the north end of property away from the farm buildings. They have decided they will have to give up keeping cattle for every year it seems more difficult to round up the wandering animals.

Much to my surprise, our Stephanie managed behave behave as if the high school auditorium were the Grand Opera. We are now beyond the crawling-under-seats stage.

Even within the same country, these practices vary according according to various religious, cultural, cultural, regional and community customs and preferences. On the other hand, funeral services have one Important element in common: they ■ satisfy man's need to ceremoniously ceremoniously bid farewell to the departed. This seems to be a universal 'and innate imperative, Even prehistoric man was known to have rather sophisticated burial burial practices. The Smithsonian has displayed a 30,000-year- old "corpse" of a Paleolithic man discovered In a burial cave In Spain. In northern Iraq, archaeologists found a Neanderthal Neanderthal burial site said to be 60,000 years old.

MORRIS FUNERAL CHAPEL 4 Division St., Bowmanville Tel: 623-5480 Serving Durham Region Since 1681 face make-up and the black or purple cloaks, the initial shock was gradually overcome and we generally enjoyed enjoyed the story of a student student witch named Gitch, who insists on being friendly when witches are supposed to be mean and nasty. I believe most of the plot went over our heads. But the lights and colors colors and action were enjoyable enjoyable in themselves. . There was lots of racing racing madly about the stage and running up and down the aisles by all performers. We liked that a lot. And the hand clapping and sing- along parts were interesting interesting too. Best of all, the performers performers stood outside the auditorium after the show so that the audience audience could meet the cast. We were glad to see that the stage personalities personalities were really very kindly people dressed up for their role. This knowledge will definitely help us sleep better tonight. The audience was large (in fact, we almost didn't get a seat) and well-behaved.
