GRADE THREE’S
by Jody Button and
Rhonda Gibbons
Last Friday, Grade three’s made
an Easter egg tree. This tree was
made during an art lesson. First
the grade three's each got an egg
out of which the yolk had been
blown. They painted the eggs with
crayon and then dipped them in
dye. Mrs. Little had a pussy willow
tree branch set into a pail of gravel
and they each tied their egg to the
tree with thread. They put the tree
in the hall so we could all enjoy it.
The grade three’s also were in
charge of Hot Dog day at school on
Friday, April 6 at noon. They
served desserts, milk, juice and hot
dogs. There was a Novelty Dance
sponsored by the Students’ Council
after the hot dogs were finished.
FLOWER POWER
by Sarah Rouw and Melissa Ken-
On Friday, April 6, several grade
eight students from Blyth Public
School went around town selling
daffodils for the Cancer Society. In
each package there were ten daffo
dils, sold for $2.50.
The daffodils sold very quickly,
due to the considerate response of
the community.
A similar program was being
held in centres across the province
because this is Cancer Month.
Thank you for the co-operation
everybody. It was greatly appre
ciated.

Cardiff and Riddell support
use of ethanol in fuels
Use of ethanol in fuels was
supported by both local members
of parliament when they spoke at
the Huron Federation of Agricul
ture’s Members of Parliament din
ner in Clinton, Saturday.
Replying to a brief presented by
the Huron County Corn Producers,
Murray Cardiff, M.P. for Huron-
Bruce said he has been pushing for
use of ethanol in fuel to replace
lead and is happy to have an
ethanol plant in the riding (at the
Bruce Energy Centre) so that there
will be a plant on stream if and
when the change comes. He had
been afraid it would mean imports
of ethanol would be necessary to
meet the new demand. Ethanol is
made from grains such as corn and
wheat.
The Corn Producers brief said
ethanol could produce lead and the
additive MMT, both of which pose
undue hazards to consumers. The
objective of the federal level is to
get the same kind of support for
ethanol that has been given to
compressed natural gas and pro
pane for several years now, said
the brief, delivered by Bob Down of
Hensail. Exemption from the fed
eral excise and sales taxes as well
as the Ontario road tax would make
the mix competitive at the pumps,
Mr. Down said.
At the provincial level increasing
the allowable oxygen content allow
able in fuels would take advantage
of the superior environmental
benefits of ethanol, the brief said.
Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Huron
said he also supported the use of
ethanol in fuel.
