Hullett Happenings
Senior students exhibit scientific abilities
FROM LONDESBORO
Transition Times was the theme of
the service at Londesboro United
Church on Sunday, March 25
Churchgoers were greeted by Jack
and Helen Lee and ushered by
Murray and Joan Howatt. The
anthem offered by the senior choir
was Dust and Ashes Touch Our
Faces.
In the storybag was a kaleidoscope
which the children enjoyed looking
into and watching the changing
colour patterns. Rev. Paul Ross
pointed out to the young folk that
similarly their lives are constantly
changing - growth, friends,
activities, teachers. He assured them
that God is always with them
through the changes.
The scripture passage from Joshua
5: 9-21 finds the Israelites at Gilgal
celebrating the Passover Feast for
the first time in Canaan. They
recognize their situation as a nation
in transition, newly escaped from
Egypt.
Paul tells the Corinthians in II
Corinthians 5: 16-2] that when
Transition time seems to be what
we are experiencing weatherwise as
well. A few days of blue skies and
warmer temperatures has us thinking
spring is on the doorstep. Then a
blast of snow reminds us it is not
time yet to get out the shorts and
sandals.
As I write this column a
The children at Hullett Central are
busy rehearsing and recording
selections for their cassettes/CDs.
The recordings are expected to be
ready for early May - just in time for
Mother's Day. Cassettes will sell for
$11 and CDs for $15. Advance
sales/orders are being taken now.
Quite a variety of scientific
matters were questioned by the
pupils of Grades 7 and 8 during their
recent science fair. The students
chose a topic and phrased their study
as a question. They also formed a
hypothesis about the results of their
experiments. Results of their study
sometimes surprised the young
scientists.
Some projects were individual
efforts while others were worked on
by pairs of pupils. Dave Medd and
Christa McAsh accepted the
challenge of choosing three winners.
people come to believe in Christ,
their life changes. This right
relationship with God allows them
to become the person God meant
them to be, that what is old has
passed away.
The parable of the prodigal son
from Luke 15: 1-3 and 11-32 as
interpreted by Ralph Milton was the
third Bible selection. The lives of all
the males in that story underwent
transition as their situations
changed.
Change/transition is a constant in
life stated Rev. Ross, as people
move from the way it was to the way
it will be. Transition times can be
full of sorrow or joy but they are
necessary for growth as a society, as
a church or as an individual. One can
resist or deny change but the wiser
path is to acknowledge change and
move into the future in God's hands.
Coffee, juice and muffins will be
served prior to the service next
Sunday, April 1.

Songfest in Londesboro on April 8
snowsquall warning has again been
issued for Huron County. So, it's
likely those snowbirds returning
from their winter vacations will be
hunting out warm coats and boots.
Paul Ross commented that
perhaps the long winter has had a
negative impact on our
temperments. I admit to being just a
little testy upon discovering I could
not get my car out of the garage
yesterday until the snowblower had
once again been put into service.
I've been watching flocks of geese
in the skies for several weeks now -
a sign in rural areas of winter's
demise. However, I think some of
their honking was amazement at the
snow they are still seeing.
But, good news! Last Wednesday

Whether their future careers will
reflect the questions of today
remains to be seen. Perhaps
tomorrow's engineers were the
young folk who studied types of
bridges, automation and friction.
Future lab technicians may be those
who tested stain removal substances,
toothpastes, and the effects of
various liquids, toothpastes and the
effects of various liquids on eggs
(practical application - teeth) and
plant growth. Reaction time, zodiac
signs, volcanoes and fruit properties
were studied by others.
Winging It was the title of the
first-place project. Using two
standard versions and two self-
created airplane wing shapes, Steve
Dougherty set out to prove which
style had the most lift. Steven's
project reflected his interest in air
cadets.
or the annual Roast Beef Country
Supper in Auburn on Wednesday,
April 4.
On the first full day of Spring,
March 21 and under sunny skies, the
ladies of the Cheerio Club enjoyed
an afternoon of fellowship.
Following a dinner at Tom's
Restaurant and Variety the ladies
were welcomed at Phyllis Potter's
home.
The roll call response which
elicited the most laughter and a good
deal of reminiscing was a poem
about that little old outhouse with the
moon carving on the door.
Audrey Thompson received the
lucky draw gift presented by
Margaret Good.
The ladies ended their afternoon
playing some rather competitive card
games.
A closely related project by Brett
Bean, titled Aerodynamics was the
judges' choice for second. Three
differently folded paper airplanes
were tested by Brett for flight
performance.
Shawn Drost, the third place
winner proved that, at least when it
comes to smoke detectors, you only
get what you pay for. Testing four
smoke detectors of various costs, he
determined that the most costly was
of higher quality, the most sensitive
and most reliable.
