PEER TUTORING
by M. Marchittoand D. Uhler
The grade 8’s have started a peer
tutoring program for the grades 2
and 3. It takes place in the schools
library. For grade 4 the days are
Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Thursdays. For the grade 2 class it
is every day of the week.
The grade 8’s listen to their
primary partners read a story, after
the story is read the older ones ask
questions about the story.
This program is to help the
pupils improve their reading skills,
learn more vocabulary and learn
the meanings of more words. We
think that all the students involved
are enjoying the peer tutoring.

Agri bition ribbons come to area
The Clayton Salter family of RR
1, Listowel, has just returned from
showing their prize-winning Gallo-
way cattle at the Regina Agribi
tion, where they took an impres
sive number of ribbons with both
bulls and females.
As well, one of Canada’s
best-known heavy horsemen,
Aubrey Toll of RR 3, Blyth, has
returned homefromthe Saskat
chewan show, which ran from
November 25 to December 4, to
make ready for four champion
Clydesdale mares he purchased
while at the show “just looking.’’
The mares are expected to arrive at
the Toll farm later this week.
The Salter family placed fourth
in both the Breeder’s Herd and the
Get of Sire competitions at Regina;
they also took one third place
ribbon and two fourth-place rib
bons with their young Galloway
bulls; aswell as winning afifth,
sixth, and an eighth-place ribbon
with Galloway females.
One of their senior yearling
bulls, Suncrest Useless, who plac
ed fourth in his class, had been
purchased prior to the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair in Tor
onto by John Maxwell, a buyer
from Glasgow, Scotland, who was
atthe Agribition to see “Useless’’
shown. The silver dun Galloway is
now in quarantine at the Salter
farm, and will be shipped to
Glasgow by air in February.
“Useless’’ is the first animal that
the Salters have exported to
Scotland, the native home of the
Galloway breed.
Clayton and Katherine Salter’s
son and daughter, Mike and
Marie, are members of the Brus
sels 4-H Beef Calf Club; along with
neighbour Marie Hill, who showed
an Agribition prize-winner, Sun
crest Vita, as her club project calf
last fall.
All the Salter cattle are groomed
and exhibited by members of the
family. This is the second year they
have shown at the Agribition.
Overseas visits up
Visits to Ontario by overseas
travellers have jumped by 30 per
cent, as the province’s internation
al tourist trade continues to grow,
Ontario Minister of Tourism and
Recreation, Hugh P. O’Neil an
nounced recently.
Approximately 839,000 over
seas tourists visited Ontario be
tween January and July of this
year, up from 646,000 over the
same period last year. This
increase comes on the heels of a 24
per cent rise in overseas visitors to
Ontario in 1986 compared with
1985.
“This is a sure sign Ontario is
considered tobe a great place to
visit, with many first-class attrac
tions,’’ O’Neil said. “This means
more tourist dollars are being
spent in the province, which
produces tremendous spinoff
benefits for the economy.’’
More tourists from the United
States are coming to Ontario as
well. Approximately 14,353,000
Americans visited Ontario in the
first seven months of this year,
compared with 13,862,000 in 1986,
a jump of 3.5 per cent.
