It looks as if Old Man Winter is trying hard to make up for ignoring us last year. Just don't get too cozy by your firesides; remember we're Canadians and have a reputation of being hardy, or is it foolhardy to maintain. So get out your longjohns, boots and caps and get out to some of the many events planned for the coming weeks. Some of you may be interested to know that our cold winter offers an unforseen bonus in that exer- cise in cold weather uses up twice the calories that the same amount does in the heat. This should prove a boon to those who plan to shed a few pounds before the Yuletide season puts them all back on again. CRAFT SHOW A show of local crafts will be held on Dec. 10 at Thunderbird Golf Club in Ashburn. It will be a great opportunity to pick up those last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers. Admission is $1 which includes coffee and doughnuts.

MEADOWCREST SCHOOL NEWS The principal, Joy Bain, would like to commend all the pupils on their exemplary behaviour Halloween night. She was very gratified to receive several calls from local citizens commenting on this. For- the first time in several years, the students collected for Unicef and they did a splendid job. A cheque for $280 has been forwarded to this worthy organization. Mrs. Bain would like to thank all those who co-operated in this project and who contributed so generously. From the enthusiastic response, I am sure many people joined me in endorsing the reinstitution of this project. It gives the youngsters a goal other than greed for their Halloween canvassing and fosters their social conscience. Last week the students were treated to a presen- tation on Switzerland by Mr. Anton Leandi on behalf of the Swiss Ambassador to Canada. He gave a talk on his country complete with films and examples of the native costumes. Report cards will be sent home on Nov. 29. Dec. 1 is a Professional Development Day set aside for Parent/Teacher interviews. LIBRARY NOTES Now that the blustery weather is upon us, those in the outlying areas will find it increasingly difficult to get out, so the library is coming to you. On Mon- days, Ashburn Community Centre will be open and on Saturdays from 1:30 to 4:30 Spencer will do the same. There will be a wide variety of paperbacks for browsing and borrowing and any special requests can be fulfilled by filling out a form or calling the library in advance. For Shutins who cannot reach these locations, the library will make housecalls. All you need to do is call 655-3191 and give them some idea of your reading preference.

This teller, in operation since yester- day, will allow customers to withdraw cash, up to a certain amount, make deposits to accounts, transfer funds between accounts, pay bill normally payable at the bank, and take cash advances from Visa. Bank Manager, Joe McMillan says it will be a great convenience to customers as it is open 24 hours a day. "It will not only eliminate a long wait in line, but will be usefull for those who can't possibly get to the bank during normal business hours." The Instant Teller was approved eight months ago, with renovations and in- stallation beginning recently. The cost of this project was estimated over a hefty $20,000. The Instant Teller will offer accessability at any of the Commerce branches throughout Canada. FR EE PRESS
