The hymn, “Birds are Singing’’ Author speaks to EWPS students On Thursday, April 30 in the afternoon, Canadianchildren’s author Bill Freeman visited East Wawanosn Public School. Bill Freeman has a special view and vision for adventure. He gives children an idea of historical events and lets them think they were actually there with the characters of the Bains family. Mr. Freeman has six books in the same series. Meg, John and Jamie are children of the Baines family. They are the main characters. His first book, “Shantymen of Cache Lake” was published in 1975. Other books in the series are “The Last Voyage of the Scotian”, “First Spring on the Grand Bank”, “Trouble at Lachine Mill” and “Harbour Thieves”. His latest in the series is “Danger on the Tracks”, an adventure story invol­ West Wawanosh council turns down severence Although the major business of the May 5 meeting of West Wawanosh Township council was the adoption of the 1987 budget and mill rates, a motion made by Deputy Reeve Bruce Raynard and seconded by councillor Gordon Brindley was passed recommend­ ing that a severance application submitted by R. G.

At the same meeting, clerk-trea­ surer Joan Armstrong was author­ ized to advertise again for applica­ tions for the position of supervisor of the township landfill site; and to advertise for tenders for the application of 25,000 yards of pit run gravel for construction of Concession 2.

Although children’s adventures are his favourites, he also writes plays, poems and adult fiction. When Freeman visited the school, he opened the children’s and teachers’ eyes to his adventure stories. After the meeting, he autographed his books. Everyone was eager to buy a keepsake copy. His stay was sponsored by the school and the Ontario Arts Council. To me, Bill Freeman represents historical events and not the political history we often learn about in school. He represents the people that made this country. Written by Jenny Chettleburgh Grade 7 student Pentland and B. Raynard, all for sheds.

Family Sunday held On May 17 the “Family Sun­ day” service in Knox United Church commenced with a short “hymn-sing” directed by Mr. George Cull and piano accompan­ ist, Mrs. George Procter. Rev. John G. Roberts used 2 Kings; 6 as the basis for his remarks. This passage relates the history of the Syrian Israelite wars and involved Elisha the prophet. The minister described the army manoeuvres in two story forms; the first told of the engagements as set forth in Bible verses; the second gave less detail with a peaceful solution and a different point of view. To further clarify his message, Mr. Roberts included perspective psychology or relation in two drawings. At first glance picture No. 1 depicted a duck with a long open bill; but from another angle it was clearly the likeness of a rabbit with long ears. No. 2 showed a beautiful young woman, who from a second view, appeared as an elderly lady. There are two points of view to everything. A scientist would see plain facts, nothing further. People of faith and prayer would see facts, hope and miracles. The junior choir sang, “How GreatisOurGod” accompanied by Mrs. George Procter at the organ.
