Grades 5 & crochet
Mrs. Holmes' grade 5 and 6
class found both a negative
and 'a positive side to their
crocheting.
On the negative side:
Denise - when I started
malting a square if I missed a
stitch I had to start over -
Cathy - It was difficult to
get it loose enough.
John, B. I thought it was
hard because whenever I did
dile double stitch it didn't
„work out.
Jacqueline - My squares
kept turning out round!
Vr On the positive.side:
Rodney - I liked it because
we got some time off from
school when we were learning

Una - I like crocheting
because if you make a
mistake you can take it out
and start over agaitrrP'`_'"
Sue - After I learned to
crochet I could make things
like hats for my, Barbie dolls.

third reading and signed into
law on December 2nd. Bill C-.
65 is an act to amend the
statute law relating to income
tax, reforms the policy of
deductions in respect to
mineral, oil and gas
resources in Canada. Bili C-
25 places more rigid
restrictions on the voluntary
and -or involuntary con-
tamination of the Canadian
environment. This piece of
legislation received
tremendous support • from all
sides of the House, and
rightly so. The final piece of
unfinished legislation, to
receive Royal Assent was Bill
C-23: an act which provides
for the payment of
superannuation benefits to
the Lieutenant -Governors of
the tern provinces. •
But by far. the most im-
portant piece of legislation to
come before the House this
session was Bill C-73 - the
government's anti-inflation
program, otherwise known as
"Attack on Inflation". The
opposition debates various
aspects of this bill at all

simply, the government set a
deadline on debate. Other
bills, such as C-76, the King

the Senate for approval,
Now without 'downplaying
the importance of these other
bills, I personally believe, as
did the opposition, that such a
crucial and vital issue. as
wage and price controls
demands a full debate and
greater' accountability. The
questions which " were left
unanswered and the obvious
-weak areas of the bill are
certain -to come to the public's
attention, as the government
attempts to enforce its ,own
hastily drawn up and hastily
pushed through economic
policy.
Immediately before ad-
journing on December 20th,
the House passed and Royal
Assent was given to Bili C-69,
an act to amend the 1971

Act. While this bill cleared up
certain weak points found in
the original act. it also in -
