Children learn about frogs
Mrs. Scott, who teaches the Early
Years students, discovered this
week how knowledgeable about
frogs they are. They have begun a
unit on frogs and they made a list
of all they knew about them. One
child knew that frogs use their eyes
to help shove food down their
throat.
They did some frog-painting by
dipping toy frogs in paint and
placing them on paper lily pads.
They ended their week by
watching the video "Frog Goes to
Dinner Today."
The Grade Is have started 'Air
Adventures'. They explored
moving paint with air from squirt
bottles, eye droppers and straws.

Duff’s United parish
hosts guest minister
Marjory and Peggy Humphries
were greeters at Duff's United
Church on April 6. Rev. Wally
Ziegler was guest minister this
morning. He began his service by
telling a little story that he thought
went along with the trouble in the
world today.
It was a story about a doctor, an
architect and a politician. They
were asked who had the oldest
profession. The doctor figured he
did since the book of Genesis told
how God took a rib from Adam and
made a woman. Well the architect
was sure that his was the oldest
profession since God created the
world out of chaos and what a
brilliant feat that was. Well the
politician smiled and asked who
they thought created the chaos.
After the announcements Rev.
They made pin wheels and spirals
to detect the movement of air.
The Grade 2s continued with
their egg unit and tried an
experiment called, 'the shrinking
egg.' They put an egg into corn
syrup and left it for 72 hrs. Guess
what? The egg shrunk one
centimetre.
They tried another experiment
called 'the sinking and floating
egg'. They put salt into the water
with an egg in it and the egg was to
float. However, the egg didn't float
so Mrs. Vivian figured they must
not have used enough salt.
A challenge was given to see if
they could drop an egg from the top
The minister had called the little
boy into his office one day and
confronted him with this. The kid
said he was sorry and didn't know
why he did but was willing to stop
if the minister would help him. The
minister told him to go home and
find an old feather pillow and cut
the comer of it. Then on the way to
church he was to spread the
feathers all over the road. Later he
was to gather all the feathers into a
paper bag and bring them to him.
The youth went out and did what
he was told. He came back with an
empty bag. He said he tried to pick
them up, but the wind had blown
them all away.
The minister told him that lies
are like that, that they go out and
you can't get them back. That they
ruin people's reputations and can
destroy people. The last he heard,
of a ladder and not break it. They
could use any material from the
classroom to make some sort of
equipment that would protect it
from breaking. They worked in
groups and most of them came up
with some sort of basket and
parachute idea. There were no
broken eggs.
Mrs. Crocker took the Grade 4
students for a walk in the woods to
measure trees. They sketched trees,
made bark rubbings and measured
the height of trees by using a
pencil. If you want to know how
you can measure a tree with a
pencil, ask any Grade 4 student in
Walton.
UCW watches
egg decorating
The UCW met Wednesday, April
2. Marjory Humphries, Marie
Coutts, Viola Travis and Elva
Wilbee were in charge of the
service. Their theme was 'The Sign
of Spring*.
Marjory read a poem called,
'Snow Drops'. Elva Wilbee
accompanied the ladies' hymn
singing on the piano.
The art of Ukrainian egg
decorating was demonstrated by
Marjorie Teeft. Some of the women
had the opportunity to try this art.
the boy tells no more lies and
whenever he is tempted he puts his
hands in front of his mouth.
Ziegler called the children forward
and told them about a little boy
who liked to tell lies about people.

Ken Shortreed strains the latest batch of maple syrup as
the spring crop harvest draws to a close. Unfavourable
weather conditions have resulted in a smaller crop this
season than producers hoped for, though the quality is
good.
