NEW CREDIT NEWS The following poem was written by Kathy LaForme last year When she was in Grade 4. MONEY Money doesn't grow on trees Nor does it grow on the ground Don't let money go free And don't throw it around. Save all your money today Always save your money Maybe you can go away And then buy something funny - Kathy LaForme Summer Athletic Program The summer athletic program was a great success at New Credit this summer. Supervisor was Charlie Thomas, with Debbie Staats and Dave General assisting him. A variety of activities were carried out, such as games of all kinds, crafts and watching films. New Credit Boys even won their lacrosse game against the No. 11 playground on the last day, and most of them had never played lacrosse until this summer. New Credits' Factory The Rumpus Hall is bustling with activity these days as the ladies turn out burlap contours for auto seats. Ward LaForme reports that the VanDresser Novelty Co. officials are now convinced that the local people can turn out good work. They were a little leery at first. The ladies are now making good wages doing piece work and they will probably work all year round if the Rumpus Hall remains available. At present the New Credit Council are allowing temporary free use of the hall. New Credit School The New Credit School opened this year with 84 pupils enrolled from Grade 1-6. The teachers are Mrs. Evelyn Gowan, Mr. George Beaver and Mrs. Roma LaForme, principal. Mrs. LaForme took another summer course for teachers at Brantford this summer. She says the Language Arts course is not as hard on the muscles as the physical Education Course. Mr. Beaver is the news correspondent for the Hamilton Spectator and would appreciate hearing anything news worthy from New Credit or Six Nations. He also has a camera which occasionally takes good pictures - if its set right. The Spectator has only accepted one picture so far but things are about to improve. The Ohsweken Mohawks The Ohsweken Mohawks finished the season in 2nd place in the Niagara District Ladies Softball league an improvement over last year. First place went to Tonawanda Shamrocks as usual. The Mohawks will now play around robin series against the top finishers - Tonawanda, Port Colborne, Hamilton West End, and Thorold to decide the A championship. Cayuga "Yorkettes" Hamilton Murray Ford, Burlington and Lockport will play for the 'B' title. The girls wish to thank all those who purchased tickets on the $50.00 draw. It helped a lot toward the purchase of new uniforms. Wesley Sault & George King are progressing nicely with new addition on their homes. Mrs. Bessie Brant added a very nice addition to her home where she now resides. Mrs. Gerry Sardine (nee Gloria LaForme) wishes to express her sincere thanks for all the lovely gifts received at a miscellaneous shower held Sept. 8, 1968 given by and held at the home of Joan LaForme. Mrs. Sylvester (Pat) LaForme is progressing very well in the Hagersville General Hospital.
