Walton teachers happy to be back Now that Walton Public School is in full swing, I wanted to know how things went for the teachers on the first week. For Principal Helen Crocker it was great to be back on track. She was still smiling at the end of the week so that was a good sign. Paul Carroll happened to drop in at the time of my news gathering and he said it had been a great week with everything running smoothly. He was still smiling also. Mrs. Bennett, who is the grade one teacher, remarked how interesting it is getting to know the personalities of the children. They spent the week getting to know each other, learning that each child is an individual with special talents and gifts and that they need to respect each other's differences. Mrs. Vandendool, who teaches French, introduced the French-speaking puppet, Dimoitou. He's fuzzy and green. Mrs. Vivian who teaches grade two said that it was a busy week. They did 'all about me' exercises and had a great time geuing acquainted. She said that she is settling in quite well. Mrs. Scott said it was a little difficult getting back into the Agriculture minister to speak in Stratford Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will be in Stratford Friday night hosting the fourth in a series of "table talks" this week. Noble Villeneuve is talking with ministry clients at seven locations in the province, to hear their views of what its "priorities should be to help the agriculture and food industry and rural communities prepare for the future", according to an OMFRA press release. He will meet separately with leaders from rural communities and the food and agriculture industries, the release states, as well as consult with ministry staff. Villeneuve told corn producers at Woodstock Thursday his ministry is part of the Premier Mike Harris's team and won't be spared from the new government's deficit - control initiatives. He says he wants public input to help decide what goes on the block. Friday's Stratford talk will be at the Festival Inn at 7 p.m. The sessions will include round -table discussions and a question and answer period with the minister. The public can pre -register by calling their local OMFRA office, or 1- 800-567-8898. Clients who can't attend consultations can get an infor- mation package and submit comments by writing to OMFRA's head office by Sept. 26, at 11th Floor, 801 Bay St., Toronto, M7A 2B2. Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 old routine but she had a great week. The pupils have been eager to team and they have been busy making maps and marking on them where they went this past summer on holidays. What really surprised her this week was that some of her grade threes asked for homework. Mrs. Vandendool's grade four's worked • hard this week getting reaquainted with friends and routines. Yes, the first week went well and all teachers were still smiling. The school welcomed five new students --Joshua Baker, grade 1; Mark Elliot, Kyle Clarke, grade 2; Whitney Kramers, Blake Griffiths, grade 3. Eileen and John Michels of Kitchener spent Labour Day holiday with Campbell and Edith Wey. Orville and Wilma Stewart of Ft. St. John, B.C., and Doris and Ervin Sillery of Exeter spent Sunday with their aunt and uncle, Margaret and Harvey Craig. The Women's Institute will hold its meeting at the Walton Hall on Friday, Sept. 15 at 8:00. It will be an open meeting with everyone invited to come and hear guest speaker Steve Ryan talk about his trip to Guyanna that he took last year. After a busy summer of catering to wedding suppers and Blyth Theatre suppers, the United Church Women (UCW) met on Wed. Aug. 6. Viola Kirkby and Marjory Fraser lead the group of women in worship. Marjory read an article called, 'Listen to the Lord's Prayer'. It suggested that people are so overexposed to the prayer that they say it without giving it any real thought. That's why Arthur Boers, minister of Bloomingdale Mennonite Church, wrote a book about the prayer called, 'Lord, Teach Us to Pray'. In his book he pointed out some interesting history about the prayer. Helen Craig was in charge of the program and she challenged the group with her delivery on positive attitudes. She had the ladies break into three groups and discuss these questions: Earnings are shrinking 1. What opportunity has UCW given me?; 2. What has the UCW done for the community?; 3. What have we done this year? When all three questions were discussed the group realized how important the UCW was to them, their community and their church. Viola Traviss and Dorothy Sholdice were greeters at Duff's United Church on Sept. 10. Rev. Randy Banks opened the service with the call to worship, which was followed by the singing of the hymn, 'All People on Earth do Dwell'. Rev. Banks pointed out to the congregation the insert 'Glimpses' which told about St.. Jerome, a 4th century scholar and bible translator. Rev. Banks then proceeded to read the Lord's Prayer in Latin from a Bible which had been translated by Jerome. He then called the Sunday School teachers forward to take part in the Celebration of Recovenanting. Gloria Wilbee, Heidi McClure, Linda McDonald, Patty Banks, Angie Marcuccio, Barb Durrell, Shannon Gibbons and Brad Finlayson came to the front to take part in the service. Rev. Banks sermon was called, `It ain't easy'. Stay in school if money is important to you. That about sums up a Statis- tics Canada report released last week, which notes the job market for high school graduates continues ' to deteriorate severely and is particularly brutal for young men. The average earnings for them shrunk 27 per cern from 1979 to 1993, and even those with full-time jobs were ear- ning 18 per cent less now than they would have a decade and a half ago, in 1979. Young women with only a high school diploma didn't suffer as severely, the report adds, in pan because their rates and earnings were much lower to begin with. It used to be that experience improved the financial prospects of high-school only grads but statisucs indicate this may no longer be the case. The earning potential of university graduates isn't as rosy as it once was either, again particularly for . young men the report states. In 1993 they were earning about what a high school grad would have 16 years ago. Get $300 Of Free Clothing And Accessories When You Buy A New Polaris Before September 30th.
