Grey donates to recreation
Teamwork was the key to an
activity set up by Mrs. Buffinga
(Kindergarten) and Miss Morgan
(Grade 7). On Wednesday, April 11
the Grade 7’s paid a visit to the
kindergarten to help them with
their stories. The children illustrat
ed a picture for the story books and
then told the Grade 7’s about the
pictures. The Grade 7’s then wrote
abouf the picture as the children
dictated. When everyone was fin
ished, the books were read aloud to
everyone in the room. The books
are being displayed outside the
Grade 7 room for everyone to see.

over 90 different countries will
join together to promote ecological
survival and peace, which really
means people, all over the world
will start thinking seriously about
this fragile world we all share.
We, here at Blyth P.S., will be
taking part in this important
activity by picking up garbage
around our village, participating in
fitness activities, and making pos
ters about how we can help save
our environment. These posters
will be placed in stores and
businesses around the village.
Watch for them. Several white pine
trees will be distributed to the
students who may plant them in
their own yards. Other activities
will include watching videos about
saving our planet, Earth, cleaning
up around the school, packing
litterless lunches and planting
seeds.
This may seem like a rejuvena
tion of Arbor Day which will
develop a better knowledge and
concern of our delicate world,
which we must protect and keep for
future generations.

But what possible use could we
have for some super gun that can
hit targets hundreds of miles away?
Julia wondered.
“I don’t know,” Hank said,
“I’ve been looking to see if there
was enough room to build one in
my back pasture. That would just
about hit Ottawa from here
wouldn’t.it?”
WEDNESDAY: Tim O’Grady said
that everybody’s talking about this
or that part of Canada joining the
U.S. if Quebec decides to separate
over the Meech Lake mess but who
knows if the Americans even want
us. “I mean if you’re recruiting a
new employee you don’t want one
that’s been a troublemaker every
where else so why would you want
to invite people into your country
who have been fighting among
themselves so much they broke up
the country?”
Billie Bean says that if the
Americans did invite the Maritimes
to join as Nova Scotia Premier John
Buchanan said, it might end all this
talk about Brian Mulroney being
such a good friend of the U.S. “If
they get a glimpse of the unem
