The delicious traditional dinner

happy people present. After dinner
the ladies were thanked by Mrs.
Bert Southern and responded to by
Marianne Colclough. The tables

Everyone returned home having

Christian School welcomes
new families to the area
This is the very first report for
the Clinton 6 District Christian
School this year. Many activities
are already underway and the
school year is shaping up to be a
very busy one. We have an
enrolment of 220 this year - the
highest ever.
New families to the school class
rooms and to the society are:
Brand, Branderhorst, Miedema,
Vandersterre, and Wynja. Preslee
Maver in Gr. 6 began classes
Monday, Oct. 15. Both staff and
students are rapidly becoming
we’l-acquainted.
G'ne of the first activities was to
conduct a fundraising campaign for
student activities. Christmas and
Everyday greeting cards were sold
by the students. Also added to the
sales campaign were assorted
spices and two-year calendars. The
campaign was successful. The ord
ers have been sent in and all
customers will soon receive their
goods.
An added feature to the CDCS
school activities is the availability
of piano instruction by two quali
fied private teachers. Mrs. Connie
Bos and Mrs. June Hardie have a
full roster of students taking less- -
ons during the school hours of
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs
day.
The Computers for Kids cam
paign is also off to a good
beginning. By collecting UPC’s
from a list of special consumer
products for the next six months,
the school hopes to add to its line of
computer equipment.
An interesting and varied
Thanksgiving assembly was con
ducted on October 5. It was led by
Miss Koresbergen, assisted by
Mrs. VanWyke. All classes partici
pated in offering poems, choral
speaking, songs, and drama. The
message was clear - we are
thankful for the many great gifts
we receive in our daily life. A
gathering of food gifts was happily
boxed and distributed to needy
families via the churches represen
ted in the school.
The soccer teams have been
practicing as much as possible
under the coaching of Mr. Mel
vanLingen and Mr. Ralph Schuur-
man. However, the games that
were long-awaited seem to have
been cancelled permanently now.
The playing fields are just too wet!
The games to be held in London for
the Woodstock District Christian
Schools were first of all postponed;
now it seems they are off altogeth
er. It is indeed disappointing for
the teams who were prepared.
The Kindergarten apple orchard
visits to the Ridder apple farm were
also postponed due to cold and
wet weather. They did however get
to go last Oct. 15 for the “A”
group and on Oct. 16 for the “B”
group.
The month of October is now
almost completed. Students receiv
ed their interim report on Wednes
day, Oct. 24. These reports give
everyone the first written indica
tion of the students’ progress.
Interviews will follow. A two-day
teachers’ convention was held Oct.
25 and 26 in Hamilton. To round
out the month, school pictures are
being taken on Oct. 30 and 31. It
has been an active, worthwhile
beginning to 1990-91 school year at
CDCS.
Maple syrup
producers say no
to container fee
Maple syrup producers will not
be paying fees on maple syrup
containers.In a vote conducted recently ^y
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food on whether producers
favored establishing fees on syrup
containers, only 20 per cent of
eligible voters cast ballots.
Recognizing that this was not a
representative sample of Ontario’s
maple syrup producers, the asso
ciation and the ministry concluded
that there would be no further
action on the proposal.
Of the 1,950 maple syrup produ
cers who received ballots, 378
voted on the Ontario Maple Syrup
Producers Association proposal to
establish a fee on syrup containers.
Fifty-seven per cent of those who
voted were in favour of the fee,
which would have been used to
provide funds for research, educa
tion and advertising for the maple
syrup industry to finance the
association.
The family gathered at 12 noon
to enjoy a delicious meal and
presented Ken and Leona with
many beautiful gifts. Jo Ann Mc
Donald composed and read an
address to the couple in honour of
the happy occasion.
An open house was then held
from 11:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon
when over one hundred people
came to congratulate Ken and
Leona. A most pleasant surprise for
them was the arrival of their son.
Neil from Vancouver and daughter
Karen and children Michael and
Kendra from Calgary. A buffet
lunch was set up and the hall was
decorated in wine, silver and white
with a lovely assortment of green
plants, giving the hall a very festive
look.
