Students pay the bills
In 1990 Korea was chosen to
write the World Day of Prayer
service for 1997.
When World War II ended, the
leaders of the Allied powers, at the
Yalta Conference, divided Korea at
the 38th parallel. This gave the
U.S. the power to oversee the
government of the south and Russia
had the power to oversee the
government of the North.
Therefore, the political and military
struggle and dispute has continued
in Korea for the last 50 years.
The World Day of Prayer
committee of S. Korea had hopes
that the countries would be united
by the time this service was
prepared and they had taken up the
theme: 'Like A Seed Which Grows
into a Tree.'
During the Korean War (1950 -
1953) brothers killed brothers and
more bombs were dropped than in
World War II. Six million people
were killed.
While World War II raged across
Asia, from 100,000 to 200,000
Korean women of all ages were
conscripted by the Japanese
government to provide sexual
services to the Japanese military.
Today the elderly and ill survivors
have begun to speak out about their
ordeal and seek an official apology
and compensation from the Japanese
government. Many conscientious
women in Japan work to help them
and now pressure their government
to provide restitution to these

The Walton kindergarten
children had fun this week talking
about the weather and looking at
the saying, Tn like a lion and out
like a lamb'.
Mrs. Scott has made up a chart
showing for the past four years the
predictions that the students have
made and the saying has only
worked once. This year they
predicted that since March came in
like a lion it will go out like a lamb.
In keeping with the lion and lamb
idea they made fluffy lambs and lion
cookies with chow mein noodles
for the mane. They also worked on
the sense of taste and tasted salty
potato chips, bitter orange rinds,
sweet raisins and sour limes.
The class congratulated Dallas
Pennington on the birth of her new
baby brother bom on March 5.
The painting is completed now
and when the students come back
to school the Grade Is will be back
in their bird's egg and quarry
coloured room. It is believed that
the classrooms have not been
painted in at least 16 years. It looks
great and really adds brightness and
light to the rooms.
Theme Thursday was completed
this week. In Mrs. Bennett's cross
graded group they talked about

Rec. Murray discusses
Promised Land journey
Howard and Audrey Hackwell
were greeters at Duff's United
Church on March 9.
Rev. James Murray led the
people in the Call to Worship. The
Introit was sung.
The choir sang As the Sun with
Longer Journey.
Nathan Murray was the gospel
reader for the day.
After Rev. Murray called the
young worshippers forward, he
showed them a picture of a snake
wrapped around a stick and asked
them if they had ever seen such a
symbol. He told them that it is on
some of the causes.
Mrs. Vivian's Grade 2/3s had fun
reading the book, Frog and Toad
are Friends. Then they made frog
and toad paper puppets and did
plays for the kindergarten class.
Pay day was held on Friday with
the students all getting their bills

doctor's diplomas as it is a symbol
of healing.
On their journey to the Promised
Land, Moses and the people were
camped one night and poisonous
snakes came into the camp and
people began to die. They turned to
Moses for help. God told him to
make a metal snake and put it on
his walking stick and the people
were to ask God for healing. TTiis
they did and they were healed.
Rev. Murray said that it is the
same today; that if people get sick
they can turn to God and ask for
healing as it is always possible.
