Wor ds froi WestLrd by Norm Mealing Let's start *This wee k with a tip of the chapeau to the people of West Lynde. On Friday, October 24th, over three hundred of them moved on down to the Heydenshore Pavifllon for the Hallowe'en Dance. It was biled as a costume or casual affair, and most of those that attended came in costumne. The costumes themselves were really a lot of fun, and showed that cqual amounts of time, effort and imagination went into their desing, and making. With so many costumes, the overail effect was a festive one, and contributed greatly to everyone 's enjoymnent of the evening. The Executive of the West Lynde Community Associa- tion is to be congratulated for putting on the dance. A great deal of work was evident in the way in which the hall was decorated, the catering was the best it has ever been, and D.K. the D.J. was his usual fine self. You know this Executive has worked very hard for us ail, and the turnout for the dances show that the work is appreciated. Now, if we would only turnout in the same numbers for meetings, we would really show that we appreciate their efforts on our behaif. Mr. and Mrs. Des N4ewman headed the V.I.P. guest fist, and joined in the fun. Ex-mayor Des consented to:*be one of the judges in the best costume competition, and showed his political shrewdness by allowirug, the crowd to pick the winners from amnong three finalists. Watching Des, as he moved arnong the people, showed this writer that he is a veïy popular politician. We would be sonry to see him leave the political aren2- forever. Maybe a shot at t.he Liberal leadership is in order, eh, Des? Also on the V.I.P. list, and in attendance were Coundil- lors Gartshore and Emmn. They were to juin Des as judges, but, were apparently held up because Jim couldn't locate his invisible dog. He flinally found him, and had hlmr well on the leash at the dance. With Gerry officially out of the race for Mayor, ail eyes are turned to Mr. Gartshor.e. By the tinie this column appears wc will know whether or flot he decided to give it a try. On the way to the dance, one of our neighbours renia rk- ed that the new playground equipment at Central Park seemed very dangerous for the younger children. 1 havcn't seen it, so, 1 can't say yea or nay. L-owever, it might be something that the rec boys can have a look at. The role of the new school as a community resouircc is starting to take shape. Both the men and the womnen of the community have sport nights set up for them. The men's program got underway on Monday, October 2th, and will run for 8 weeks.
