All students had great costumes. After we had the costume contest we had a costume parade. Bobbing for apples was hard but people got ap- ples. Most people went for apples on the string. Everybody got that! Many people entered the pumpkin contest. The jack -o -lanterns were all very greatly decorated. We had a good par- ty in our classroom. It is great to have a special day that is Hallowe'en. We thank Student Council for supporting this. Tammy Durward Student of the Week — Each week a student from Room five is chosen to be student of the week. They bring in their special collectables so that the class can learn more about the stu- dent. This week Richie Dobson is stu- dent of the week. He has brought in quite a few articles that are important to him. We also know that his favourite food is pizza and that he like to watch Alf. It is interesting to learn about our classmates. Elizabeth Russell, Erin O'Rourke Mrs. Graham Comes to Stephen — October 6, Mrs. Graham, from the Education Centre in Clinton, came to our school to teach grade five how to blend oil pastels.

She chose student's art work to decorate the hall in Brussels for the Women's Teachers meeting. We were pleased with our results and enjoyed working with her. Lisa Robertson, Carla Taylor Dog Unit — In the month of October Room five started a dog unit because we got into dogs in English and we ex- panded it into centres. There were many activities in our dog unit. For example Dog Vocabulary and Dog Discovery. The Dog Vocabulary was spelling words that we learned through the unit. The Dog Discovery was a word find.

The newspaper that the enrichment groups made is entitled The Universal Press.' Everybody had fun. Jenny Robertson Weaving — The Room six students weaved in art. Ms. Thomson drew a line at each end of a piece of card- board and a few lines at each end and we cut along those lines. We used corn husks, tassels, dry skinny grasses, weeds and bullrushes. These things came from corn fields and backyards and behind barns. They took two cardboard pieces and with one string in one piece of cardboard they stapl- ed it. The weavings were hung in the main office and in Mrs lfesslinger's office and the class. The students thought this activity was exciting and wonderful. Cathy Wagner Draw Box — Everytime Room six has a test Ms. Thomson marks a spot for the parents' signature. If the test is brought back in two days the ballot gets cut off and put in a draw box. The winner gets to pick a present that Ms. Thomson has tacked up an the chalk board. The winner in September was Jeni Mae Pfaff. She won a Return to Oz story book. Jeni also got to draw the one for October. I won. I got a Voltron figure. Blake thinks this system is ter- rific. Julie thinks it's cool. The next draw is November 28.

Times -Advocate, November 19, 1986 �ach d OLLfingi Share windfall By MPP Jock Riddell A healthy provincial economy will mean an increase in the transfer payments that will go to municipalities, hospitals, colleges, universities and school boards. Treasurer Robert Nixon told members of the Legislature that these major transfer announcements will permit this Government to strengthen its partnership with local govern- ments and with those who deliver ma- jor services on behalf of the province. In the 1985 Budget, Mr. Nixon had indicated the Ontario Government's intention to announce transfer payments to the major recipients ear- ly in their budgetary cycle, so that they could plan effectively for the coming year. He had also announced that these transfer payments would increase be four percent in 1987-88. This week, Mr. Nixon confirmed that the government is honouring these commitments. In fact, because provincial revenues a.re expected to increase by $405 million over the budget estimate, many transfer payments will be able to increase at a higher rate. This revenue increase is mainly because personal income tax revenues, collected by the federal government on behalf of the province, will be greater than originally estimated. Receive 7.4 percent Ontario hospitals will receive a 7.4 percent or $345 million increase in 1987-88 to purchase needed teaching equipment and library materials and to hire new faculty. The remaining $51.7 million of the increase will fulfill the commitment to base funding for universities announced in October 1985. As well, tuition increases will be kept to 4 percent. Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology will get an operating in- crease of 4.3 percent next year. With the inclusion of the Colleges Ex- cellence Fund in the base grants, the over-all increase in the two years of Liberal Government in Ontario will average 10.9 percent. School boards will receive increas- ed operating grants of 5.5 percent. Education Minister Sean Conway said an additional $147.2 million has been allocated for capital projects next year. This money will be used to pro- vide new facilities in high-growth regions, make much-needed renova- tions and additions to existing facilities and provide for the exten- sion of the separate school system. Municipalities will receive an in- crease of 5 percent in their budgets for a total of $3.6 million in transfer payments, As well, Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grandmaitre said nearly $40 million in new funds will go to municipalities under the uncondi- tional grants program, for a total of $821.3 million in 1987-88. Transportation and Communica- tions Minister Ed Fulton said his ministry will continue the $30 million Ontario Municipal Improvement Fund, which will provide funding for roads and much needed municipal transporation improvements in 1987-88. This is in addition to a 4.6 per- cent increase in base funding for municipal roads construction and maintenance for a total allocation of $568.9 million. About 500 thousand people across Ontario will receive more help from the provincial government, as a result of improvements to,Ontario's social assistance program. This week, Com- munity and Social Services Minister, John Sweeney announced more than $72 million dollars in benefit improvements. Effective January 1, 1987, the basic allowance for those receiving Fami- ly Benefits and General Welfare Assistance will increase by five percent. Mr. Sweeney also announced that the $80 winter clothing allowance for children will be extended to families receiving general welfare. As well, recognizing that children who are 16 years of age or older require more food, an additional $16 will be added to the monthly basic allowance. A 24-hour telephone hotline to help farm families with stressful financial problems is gaining wide acceptance after a year in operation.

Helpline has logged 1,400 calls since it started, so'I feel this response has more than justified its existence in such a short time. The service provides around-the- clock information to farmers, and their families on how to deal with stress and how to locate professional assistance in dealings with creditors. It also helps callers understand their rights and obligations and provides referrals for farm management advice. Re-establishment financial assistance for farmers getting out of agriculture is no longer part of FIT. The helpline refers callers to a federal program with a similiar mandate the Canadian Rural Transition Pro- gram. It gives details on eligibility and who to contact at local Canada Employment and Immigration offices.
