Contestants will be disqualified if one pair of knees touches the floor, contestants are deemed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or if they do not comply with the general rules.

Why tele-a-thon The Huronia Association for the Mentally Retarded is currently serving approximately 100 handicapped per- sons. Current programmes include a nursery school, a day care centre for children up to age 18, the Adult Rehabilitation Centre for adults, and residential services for adults. The Ministry of Community and Social Services is the source of much of the money needed to run the programs, But income from work done by the adults at the rehabilitation centre and public donations also play an important part in the association's budget. Donations over the last few years have not been enough to cover operational costs and allow for new programs the association is anxious to start. The dance-a-thon is part of a weekend tele-a-thon that will be hosted by the likes of CBC-TV talk show host Bob McLean. be meeting here tonight for an meeting. prior to regular business at 8 p.m. RC board meets tonight in Barrie BARRIE: Members of the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will However the board will first meet at 7:30 p.m. with its religious education committee tries in the toddlers' The annual Baby Show held in con- junction with the Fall Fair here was a huge success this year with approximately 30 en- 8 p.m. event.
