(If you can' bend over that far.) 44/0(117 pagnaliattion The Canadian movement for perSonal fitness Inside Howick Central Homework — Mr. Robertson has called this week "Do Your Homework Week". We have decided to enter this composition written by Mary 13elth Sanderson on the topic, "ifo\mework". I think about the only thing that every school in the world has in common with one another is that much hated rascal, "Homework"! It is something that every student, despite race, creed, or colour despises. There is no set method of doing homework because it is up to the individual to devise his/her own Technique. This is mine. When I get home from school I take my books down to the recreation room, switch on the T.V.,-then go to my desk to begin doing my homework. Now at four o'clock . nothing much is on the television except the Flintstones but when I'm desperate I'd watch anything. If I've seen the show before I will do my homework during the whole program but if 'I haven't seen it, I will watch the show and do my work when the commercials are on. As you may have noticed this isn't the most effective way to do homework and there are ways that I could improve my technique. The main improvement to be made would be to shut off the television and in this way I would save time and promote accuracy. I,do use this improved method sometimes when I have a lot of homework. In winding up debate on the 'urrent session of the Legislature Mr. Davis expressed the view oiat inflation is still the number •:ne concern in .the Province and :',..straint must be shown in both \\ ages and prices. "Inflation is still our number lie concern in both a short term and long term sense" he ontinued. Three bills received third and la 1 reading on the last day of the 'urth session of the 29th Legis- :lure. Acts to amend the Mining ax Act, the Condominium Act lid the Crown Employees Collec- '"ve Bargaining Act now await oval Assent.

Pallbearers wet: Peter Ralston, Jas. McCall, Fred Sawyer, Gordon Elliott, Wm. Dalrymple But all in all, I like my own method because it gives me some entertainment while doing something I don't enjoy. Public Speaking Results In the last edition of news there was a write-up on the Public Speaking contest and it said that the results would be in the next copy of your newspaper so we have them. In the junior division ; which was grades 5 and 6, Rosemary-Oakley took first place and Regan Dettman took second place. In the intermediate division which is grades 7 and 8 Sandra Carson holds first place and Patsy Faulkner took second place. There were twelve speakers in all. We would all like to congratulate these four students. We would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Douglas and Mr. Hugh Sinnamon for the judging job they did, for it was very difficult to decide. Tammy Brown Winners of the Picture Contest The picture contest is now closed. Miss McKinnon has the pictures posted in the library with the teachers' names under their picture. The first place winner was Patsy Faulkner who had thirteen correct. There were five seconds. Besides that, one girl did it twice thus making six seconds. The second prize winners were: Melody Brewer, Cindy Hunyady, Michael Sebastion, Donna Harding,Mary The Crown Employees Collec- ivc Bargaining Act Amendment :provides for a board of arbitration in settle disputes composed of a Member appointed by each of the ladies, and a Chairman :npointed by the two Members ether than the GovernMent. The Government has indicated new session will begin some- me around mid March. Limits are to be placed on the mount'of money political parties, ding associations, and candi- ates will be allowed to spend on ampaign advertising in future ;'rovincial elections in Ontario. The long promised bill requires disclosure of all donations of more than $10 and the stating of the Beth Sanderson, Each of these had eleven correct. Because so 'many 'came in second no third prize was awarded. I believe this contest made many students take a good look at their teachers. Marlin Good, Room 13 Wins Ice Cream Bars The Grade 8's from Mr. Doubleday's room won the Attendance Award for January. They did this by having a better attendance record than the rest of the classes in the school. As a result'they got chocolate-covered malted ice cream bars. Boy, were they good! Mrs. her is very jealous because her class has not yet won the attendance award. I hope Mrs. Kirkby's room will win one of the attendance awards in the future. Donna Forler Room 15 Ballet On February 14th, Miss Amos' grade 7 and 8's will be putting on a play called "The Nut Who Cracked His Sweet". This play tells , the true meaning of Valentine's Day. The play was written and produced by Miss Amos herself. The assembly will start at 9:00 a.m. and any persons wishing to attend may do so. At this assembly the two winners in the Howick Legion Public Speaking Contest will say their prize winning speeches . Gary Douglas name and address of the donor of every amount of more than $100. It also establishes a formula for the public financing of candidate expenses paying about $6,000 to each candidate in an average sized riding. Candidates in northern ridings will get a further $2,500. Advertising was the only area which absolute spending limits were imposed on parties, and candidates. Restrictions in the bill also limit donations by individuals, Corporations, and trade unions to $4,000 to any one party and its riding organizations each year, or a total of $20,000 in a four year period including an election.
