Nearly 150 parents and relatives came to the school Wednesday even- ing to make a tour of the wide varie- ty of science projects on display throughout the school. The quality of the work, stn such a wide variety of topics, was very impressive. At 7 p.m. the school children displayed more of their talents. The grade 7/8 pupils performed several puppet shows that they themselves had written, using puppets that they had made. On Friday the best of the puppet plays were presented by the students at Precious Blood school in Exeter. At the Wednesday evening program, the puppet shows were in- terspersed with vocal selections by the school choir and some students performed on recorders. PTA president Roberta Walker presented the prizes to the winners of the PTA fund raiser, drawn on April 21. Mr. and Mrs. Terry Morgan won two nights and three days at the Wheels Inn, Chatham; Andrew Glavin, a student, won $75.00 and Ken McCann won $50.00. Mrs. Walker thanked everyone who supported the PTA in this venture, which earned a profit of $1,300.00 toward the new playground project. She also made an appeal for addi- tional manpower, to volunteer some time and labor toward the necessary improvements. Mrs. Walker then announced a Las Vegas Fun Night, to be held at the school on Friday, May 30. There will be a fish pond, bake table, games room, penny sale, bingo, white elephant tables, relay races, and an assortment of black jack, crown and anchor type games, all available to enjoy and to try your luck.

Bruce Pierce was in charge of the morning worship and entitled his message "The Characteristics and Conduct of a Religion that works". The minister • said a religion that works, needs to contain joy and to have an unwavering faith, to be hum- ble and to have an awareness. In the children's time the Rev. Pierce asked them how many doors they had opened this week? Then told them that every time they opened a door, they were to think of Jesus and thank Him for showing them the way, and also for His love. Next Sunday May 11 Mother's Day there will be a service of baptism at Granton United Church. 4-H News The first meeting of the Granton 4-H Club"Seed to Shelf" was held, at the home of Kaylene Roloson on May 3.
