Students author books WE ARE AUTHORS by Stefan Nichol and Ryan McLaughlin Grades 6, 7 and 8 are teamed up in partners to work on printing pri­ mary books. Here are a few of the titles: “Charlie the Cat”, “The Bat­ tling Bulldozer”, and “The Sput­ niks Visit the Zoo”. These books will be on display at the Brussels Public School Library as a part of our primary book collection. PUBLIC SPEAKING To help us in preparing our speeches we had the pleasure of Margaret Jarvis coming into our school. Margaret visited the grade 5 class room on Friday, February 7 and visited the grade 6 class room on February 4. She also visited grade 7 on the 7th and grade 8 on the same day. She told us how to walk on and off the stage, where to stand, how to present your speech, what to wear and what not to wear, and the usage of cue cards. Margaret also told us how far you can go with competitive speaking and about her adventures in public speaking and where she went. Margaret described her trip to the United Nations in New York City. She outlined for us the many occupa­ tions and vocations in which effec­ tive speaking is an asset. Mrs. Raymond thought she made an excellent presentation. Mr. Barring­ ton said the same thing. And Mrs. Cousins was “SPEECH” less with admiration. LUNG ASSOCIATION VISITOR On February 10 grades 6-8 were visited by Mrs. Sanio-Parlee a representative of the Canadian Lung Association to talk about the dangers of smoking. Mrs. Sanio- Parlee talked about the parts of cigarette smoke which are tar, nico­ tine, and carbon monoxide. She passed around tested items that were used in an experiment to see what your lungs look like after smoking a package of cigarettes. She also passed around a jar of tar and showed us a real lung of a per­ son who smoked. We talked about the high cost of smoking. Those who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day for a year would spent $2,000.50. Then she showed a filmstrip about your lungs and what smoking does to your lungs. The filmstrip had shown people that smoked and what it had done to them. One per­ son had to carry an oxygen tank around with him so he could breathe. Another man had cancer of the larynx and doctors had to con­ struct an alternate windpipe in his throat. The film showed that preg­ nant women who smoke can be damaging their unborn babies because the smoke passes through them. Being informed can help us make good choices when we need to decide whether we should begin to smoke. Pharmicist speaks at W7 meeting Twenty-nine ladies attended the meeting for the Majestic Women's Institute on Feb. 12 in the Brussels Library. Visitors came from Wal­ ton, Ethel, Bluevale and Brussels. President Leona Armstrong opened the meeting with the story of the Valentine. Convenor Jean Fraser spoke on the construction of the body and how these parts work together to meet everyday demands. Jean Fraser then introduced phar­ macist John Brown from Listowel. He informed the ladies of the distri­ bution of drugs, especially the over-the-counter drugs. There was an explanation on how the drug card works and how the fees for drugs are set. Certain drugs can be sold without a prescription, but are kept behind the counter. A warning to be aware of what is in a drug product that you are using in cases of reactions to it. Comparison in drug equivalents can vary the cost as to whether it's a brand name or a generic brand. If there is any prob­ lems or questions your pharmacist will help you. Convenor Edna Pletch thanked Mr. Brown. Angie Yoon played two compli­ cated pieces very skillfully on the piano. Doris McCall gave the minutes of the last meeting and the treasur­ er's report.
