Stevensons greet at Duff's It seems that just about everyone at Walton Public School is 'doing time'. In Mrs. Bennett's Grade 1 class they made watches and clocks to learn about time. They also kept track of the temperature and saw the great rise and fall of the thermometer last week. In Grade 2 the students made some human clocks. In their environmental studies they are studying skin. In using the 'glo- germ' kit they saw how much dirt was on their hands. They dressed up their paper doll 'Ben' and got him ready for the hot sun (when it comes) by putting on sunglasses and a hat. A Safe Child program for Kindergarten to Grade 2s has been set up and will run for the next three weeks. It teaches children how to be safe in a variety of situations. The Grade 3s are learning to tell time to the minute. They are starting a writers' workshop where they are writing stories and making books. A Home Reading Program has begun as well. The students made a contract to read a certain number of books each week and if their goal is reached they will take part in the celebration on March 6. The Grade 4s finished up their resolutions for 1996. Here are a few: 'Clean my room', 'Doing what I'm told', 'Stop chewing my nails,' "Making my bed more often.' The school once again has started the Theme Thursday program. The theme this year is Design and Technology. The Grade 1 room hosts 'the challenge of flight', Grade 2 - 'the three pigs; Grade 3, music, Pied Piper; Grade 4 - Origami - focusing on design, using paper folding techniques. Ron and Nicole Stevenson were greeters at Duffs United Church on Jan. 21. Rev. Randy Banks welcomed everyone, especially those who travelled from Bluevale to attend the special meeting after the service. After the Old Testament reading Graeme Craig played his guitar and sang Morning Has Broken. Rev. Banks called the young worshippers forward and showed them a box that held pictures of all the ministers who had served Duff's United Church in the past. He asked if there was a minister in particular who was the greatest of them all. He picked out Robert Lundy's picture and read about his life. Rev. Banks said that this man had dedicated his life to the work of God. He imagined that there were HELPING THE WORLD WRITE NOW # CODE Self-sufficiency through literacy in the developing world For information, call 1-800-661-2633 some who liked him and some who didn't. He probably made some people mad and even made a few mistakes along the way. He said that no one minister can ever please everyone. The point is that all of us are united in the fellowship of Jesus Christ. It is in his name that we love and serve and worship Almighty God. Rev. Banks's sermon was called, 'To Whom do you Belong?' "The challenge for us is to search our hearts in hopes of discovering whether or not our ultimate loyalty is to the church as an institution or to a particular minister or to Christ, the one who leads into the light of God, the people who have walked in darkness."

"It's one of the best counties and it's one to be proud of." The association hopes to name the match "'99, the year of the great one" and hopes to, have Wayne Gretzky open the match, but it is not "etched in stone", said Neil McGavin, representative for the Huron County Plowmen's Association. 1999 also marks the 75th anniversary of the Huron Plowmen's Association. McGavin said the main theme of the bid will be a "back-to-the- basics" plowing match to go back to where the plowing match got its roots. The site chosen by the Huron parents in the Brussels community. Parent mentors are experienced parents who meet regularly with the parents to talk about how things are going. They may discuss the baby's first steps, how to comfort a teething baby, meals toddlers will eat, dealing with cabin fever, ideas for indoor winter play or anything else that comes up. Just having another adult to talk with can make all the difference to a parent feeling isolated and Continued on page 18 School, Walton Public School; Feb. 21, Seaforth District High School; Feb. 22, St. Anne's Secondary School; Feb. 26, Clinton Christian School; Feb. 27, Clinton Christian School; March 1, St. Joseph's Separate School, Clinton, East Wawanosh Public School; March 4, St. Joseph's Separate, Clinton (alternate Kindergarten), F.

McGavin added that although Huron is the only county making a bid for the match, the association felt a full presentation would improve their chances of being chosen for the site. The county plowmen will be taking two buses down to Waterloo for the convention for the presentation. Thiel stated that "more numbers make a difference." The 1999 host will be announced at the convention during the banquet. "We're going to promote the best county there is," said McGavin. Area students to get vaccine 1999, marks Plowmen's 75th
