(Amy Neilands photo) Walton Public School news Class gets new toys Pastor talks of temptation Compiled by Patty Banks Phone 887-680 Staff, students and parents made their sympathies known to Helen Crocker, VP of the school, upon the death of her mother this past week. In the Kindergarten class they have some new riding toys. There have also been some birthdays and the birthday button was worn for the day. In Grade 1 there has been some book publishing going on. The kids have to have five sentences done before they can be typed up and put into book form. The class has also been experi- menting with producing sound, using a tuning fork, elastic bands and strings. They have learned so far that sound is a vibration. When the tuning fork was struck and put into water it agitated the water. Mrs. Howe-Lobb's Grade 2 class has been reading Robert Munsch books and have even written him a letter. So far some of the favourite books are Pigs, I Have To Go and David's Father. Last week's UCW turkey lunch- eon went over very well with 130 people being served. There were 12 tables of cards. Winners were: high lady, Helen Dobson; men's high, Ross Grey Twp. Council held its regular meeting on Feb. 27 and adopted the budgets of both the Brussels, Morris and Grey Recrea- tion Board and the Walton Landfill Committee. Grey Township's share of the 1995 BMG budget of $261,547 is $23,190 an increase of $6,636 or 40 per cent from 1994. The increase in the Grey Twp. levy is due to increased capital expenditures and the township being responsible for a higher percentage of the municipal levies based on the usage of the facilities by the residents of the township. Grey's share of the 1995 budget of $45,300 for the Walton Landfill Reporters for Grade 3 were Mandy Mitchell and Melissa Beuerman. They said that for art the class has been doing some weaving and has been working on either lion or lamb pictures, having to do with whether March came in like a lion or lamb. Last year's predictions didn't turn out so they are hoping that this year they will get it right. They also sang Happy Birthday to Melissa Beuerman. Mrs. Vandendool teaches French and in Grade 1 they have finished learning the rooms of a house. Grade 2s finished up a unit on Inuits and this week they are working with a computer program about tasting salty and sweet foods. Grade 3s worked on an under- water unit and they had a choice whether to make a mural or pictures or a diorama. In Grade 4 French they have been learning all the zoo, circus, forest and farm animals. Brighton; low lady, Maxine Marks; men's low, Laura Fischer; lone hands, Jean Keys and Bill Craig. What a great way to spend a carefree afternoon. The next lunch and card day will be March 28.

Grants were authorized to the Walton Area Sports Club in the amount of $500, to the Huron County Historical Society for $25 and $400 to the Walton Women's Institute to assist with the maintenance of the Walton Community Hall. Did you know that 90 per cent of all eye injuries are preventable? UCW meets With the church basement decorated in St. Patrick's Day fashion the March UCW meeting was held. Edith Wey and Leona McDonald prepared the women spiritually by leading them in a short worship service. Marion Godkin played the piano for all the hymns that were sung. Marie McGavin was in charge of the topic this month and she chose to talk about 'Fellowship', which is part of the UCW purpose. Fellow- ship is communion; the sharing of common interests. She asked the women to recall their happiest memories within the church community. Then she asked if there were ever times when they had felt excluded. How do they help people feel friendship and how do they take down any barriers that may be there? She also asked whether they saw themselves as a Mary or a Martha. What makes a church community a welcome place? Fellowship, she ended up saying, is a communion within our families and our faith community. Phyllis Mitchell, president and Doreen Hackwell, secretary, took over the business part of the meeting. Patty Banks, Audrey Hackwell and Helen Craig prepared the lunch. Scott, Kelly and JoAnn McDonald were greeters at Duff's United Church on March 5, the first Sunday in Lent. The collection jar for the Lenten Project was passed around and money was put in for every time the water tap was turned on. This next week will be 10 cents for each capital city of a province or territory that can be named without looking it up! Geoffrey and Rev. Randy Banks read the Lenten Tencbrae Liturgy and Geoffrey snuffed out a purple candle. In the announcements Rev. Banks expressed his wish that more people would come out and be challenged in the Lenten Bible Study, "Wrestling with Angels" — 'How can I question and still believe?' The study will be held in Walton, March 8 at 10 a.m. at the church. At children's time Rev. Banks asked for volunteers to help attach dirt (felt) and a trellis (felt) to the Garden of Lent banner. Geoff Banks and Adam McClure were the chosen ones. Each week another part of the garden will be added to the banner. Rev. Banks then talked about the temptations that faced Jesus when He went out into the dessert. As he did at the first Sunday in Advent he let the children pick from a bag which held an assortment of Lenten calendars, booklets, crosses and such to help them learn about Lent. His sermon was called, 'Making our Response.'
