conservation area. Very
few realized this was
such a huge area and so
great an undertaking. So
much has been done to
feed and protect our
ducks, geese and
whistling swans.
The next attraction was
a movie with music - "So
Little Time". 'It con-
cerned our future, too -
Will the flocks we are
enjoying now, still be
here? The whistling
swans are growing in
numbers - over 200 have
been seen in our area,
resting for a few days.
Without care they would
have been extinct. These
swans have learned to
enjoy corn, so now their
diet is easier to supply for
them.
The hunters are not a
serious problem to
Hullett, because they
donate most of the money
needed for the water fowl
foundation.
A beautiful sunset was
seen on the screen - a
promise of kinder days
ahead for the birds.

No gym for
Christian school
CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL ,1979—PAGE 15
By Clarence Bos
In a move apparently
designed to make
Christian education more
accessible to a broader
popular base, the Clinton
and District Christian
School last Monday night
halted the proceedings
which would have led to
the construction of a
gymnasium onto the
existing structure of the
school.
The society almost
unanimously voiced its
approval of the building
addition proposed by the
School Board, but a small
majority of the mem-
bership did not approve
of the School Board's
plans to finance the new
addition.
The new `structure,
which would have added
to the Christian School
hot only a gymnasium but
a foyer, kitchen and new
dressing rooms would
have cost the school
society $141,000 and
operating expenses.
The membership of the
society, which refused to
accept a grant from
Wintario (because it
• principially disagrees
with the concept of
gambling), was adamant
in its refusal to accept the
financial arrangements
made by the School
Board as long as there
was any possibility that
some of the financial
burden of this con-
struction might be passed
onto the tuition costs of
those who might not be
able to afford them.
It was generally felt
that nothing should stand
in the way of a sincere
Christian and his wish to
provide for his children a
Christian education
under a dedicated team
of Christian teachers and
in a Christian en-
vironment.
It was suggested to the
School Board that it find
an alternate method of
financing the gymnasium
and that it concentrate in
the near future on all
possible methods of
lowering the general
tuition rate, especially by
broadening the local
supporting base of the
school.
Chairman of the School
Board, Mr. Jack Roorda,
reported that there were
some encouraging signs
of interest in school
membership by parents
in some local churches
other than the Christian
Reformed Church. and
that all such interest
would be welcomed.
The meeting, which
had been opened in praise
to God for his many
blessings and in prayer
for a responsible
decision, was closed in
thanksgiving and in
prayer that children
everywhere whether in
the Christian School or in
the Public Schools might
be made aware of the
love of Christ for them.
