Spread , this mixture over the butter Trip to the farm On' Thursday November 30, I liked our trip to the Dale's Dairy Farm because it had a baby cow and the hens were big. The hens laid big eggs and some had big feet. There was a cow named Happy and another one named Fred. Also there was a bull with a ring through his nose. He weighed a 1,000 pounds. We asked Mr. Dale if we could feed the cows and he said yes. Then we went to the milking room again. Mrs. Dale gave us an apple. Then we went out to the bus and left for Mr. and Mrs. Johns' Beef Farm. We saw beef cattle and the silage that Mr. Johns feeds the cows. We went to see the goats and Mr. Johns milked one. Then we went into Mrs. Johns house and had hot chocolate and cookies. Mrs. Johns daughter, Lisa, made the cookies for us. -by John Haskett +++ On Thursday +November 30 grade 3 went to two local farms. We started our trip by going to Dale's Dairy farm. We got off the bus and we went into the barn. We saw the machines that milk the cattle. Some of my friends put their fingers into it but I did not. We saw a lot of cows then we went into another room. There were some hens and a little calf, it was soft and it was 3 days old. We saw a bull and it was bigger than the other Clearance ORGANS AND PIANOS ... Reduced 20" '040" Gulbransen, Wurilfzer, Lesage, etc. at PULS1FIER MUSIC UEAIFO*TH 52/4053 cows.

Seventeen of our pupils took part in the parade. Boy, was it cold! Last Thursday the pupils of Mrs. Pepper's Grade 3 Class visited two area farms and in this way finished up their latest social studies unit. We ,would like to thank Mr. 'and Mrs. Lloyd Dale and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Johns for their hospitality. The following are two pupil accounts of this very worthwhile trip. Smile Show me a gallbladder sufferer who won't take his medicine and I'll show you a man with un- medicated gall! mixture. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon. Refrigerate. Helpful Hints Use eight tennis balls to make a Christmas wreath. Dye the balls red or green and let them dry. Drill holes the size of a coat -hanger wire through each ball. Bend a hanger into a circle and string balls onto it. Fill in the spaces with greenery and tie a bow on top. Children will have fun making creative, inex- pensive Christmas gift tags with a box of assorted cookie cutters (bells, stars, gingerbread men, . Christmas trees, etc.), greeting cards, pencils, scissors, a hole puncher and a ball of red or green twine. Place cookie cutter • over the card, outline with pencil, cut out, punch a hole at ,one end, insert the string, and the children have finished their gift tags! Water your Christmas tree by putting ice cubes in the base of the stand. This will keep it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
