Matt Miller (at right), Jason Wein, Dave Morlock (in black shirt) and Shawn Durand built a car with a large solar panel driving the motor to the rear wheels. Although the gearing was too high for the car to move, it dem- onstrated the power of the sun's energy to fascinated ele- , mentary school visitors. It might seem like a water torture test, but it's really good science. Carrie Kapp's (left) ex- periment demonstrated how temperature affects muscle abilities. She had Kim MacLean and Marilou Hem from Usborne Central School plunge their hands into icy water and then try to write their names. The resu!ts were compared to an effort when their hands were warm. Making jewellery from recycled items was the environmental theme of the booth set up by Jenny Ellison (left) and Erin Coward. Here they demonstrate the craft of recycled art to Eliz- abeth Lutgendorff of Usborne Central School and to Kelly Atkinson of Clinton Public at Wednesday afternoon's Science West.

Granton WI news A Granton Women's Institute meeting was hosted by Muriel Lewis at the St. Thomas Anglican church on May 17. Lewis chaired the meeting and opened with a reading 'Close to God'. The program topic was Citizen- ship and Legislation and the roll call was answered by naming a characteristic of a good citizen. The motto 'Of all the things you wear the most important is your expres- sion' was illustrated by Olive Hod- gins in a reading 'Continue with a Grin'. Lewis read an article on etttiadr an Citizenship which revealed that Canada's official colours (red and white) were proclaimed by King George V in 1921; the Maple Leaf flag was officially proclaimed Feb- ruary 15, 1965. and Canada joined the United Nations in 1945.
