Motorists, if you must drive on Halloween night, the Ontario Association of Optometrists reminds you to keep a sharp eye out for trick-or-treaters walking in the dark. Soon children across the country will undergo a mysterious and magical change from child to ghost, goblin or any number of other beings from the imagination in observance of a special holiday just for Kids -- Halloween night. Young trick-or-treaters sharing the streets with motorists and ghosts walking through unlit streets and yards, wearing masks that may obscure their vision makes for a potentially dangerous night. Their safety depends, in part, on vision and visibility. Optometrists as members of the vision care profession urge ,3. to help make halloween safe. LSHS HOSTS JR. VOLLEYBALL INVITATIONAL - Total participations with a touch of confusion; what better words to describe the scene when twelve volleyball teams, their coaches and managers; linesmen, score keepers, umpires; refer- ges; cheerleaders; and screaming fans all congregated at the LSHS and St. Martin gyms on Saturday, October 14th to partici- pate in the second annual junior volleyball invitational? The success of the day was marred only by the losing of the two trophies that were made up especially for the tourna- ment. Finishing fourth in the round robin play our junior girls were defeated in the finals. The junior boys however made the semi finals before they were defeated. The results of the tournament were as follows: Junior Girls 1st, Manitouwadge; 2nd Nip=Rock; Junior Boys 1st, Nip-Rock; 2nd Wawa. : The SLHS junior teams should be congratulated for their fine effort on Saturday. Not on!y did they have many volley- ball games to play, but they also helped in the running of the tournament. Thanks also to the students, teachers and com= ini munity members who helped with the tournament. DRIVE SAFEL DONT CUT SHORT A CHILD'S LEARNING...
