School kids raise I /1 or Terry Some weeks ago the students of Clinton Public School eagerly commenced a program to sttp- port the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope campaign. Their goal was to run across Canada during their free time at school such as recesses, noon hour and after school. Each class displayed their class sheet outside their door and the kilometresbegan to be totalled. A line on the wall map from St. John, Newfoundland began . moving through the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario and westward to Victoria. Within three weeks the pupils., and some staff and parents, ran 8374 km. The distance completed, the pupils then began collecting their pledges. The money came in and 1 last Friday at a special assembly the student body presented a cheque to the Cancer Society for $1,5.43.64. The school is extremely proud of the students' efforts and wi h' to thank all those who con- tributed so ge erously to such a worthwhile cause.

But I'm not as unorganized as I appear and within the 24 hour deadline, my finger easily dented the fleshy thigh of the bird. An overnight stay in the garage, in a pail of ice cold water was at it required (not for me, -but the bird or course). And then came the tricky part, preparing the turkey_ for the oven, complete with sage and onion dressing. With mom 's notes and a trusty old cook book by my side, the bird made it into the oven in one piece, not to mention the three yards of string and five metal pins stuck -here and there to ensure the evening meal stayed in one piece. I even remembered to baste the bird, every 15 minutes to be exact, not . only to ensure that the skin would be brown and crisp, but mostly for a chance to open the oven door, to stagger at the mouth watering odor of the roasting bird and just to see if by chance it was •cooked: Five hours later, the gastronomical delight was lifted from the oven. It almost looked like the roasted birds they show on TV commercials, until I 'attempted to cut into the moist meat and it fell to pieces, Yes the turkey was definitely cooked, we would not have to worry about food poisoning. Then came the the candied yams, fresh green beans and mushrooms, cranberry sauce and whipped potatoes - .sans the whipping - I couldn't find the egg beaters. Oh, and there was also some nice Rose wine and warm pumpkin tarts and the whole. feast was prepared by yours truly. Well all, except for the wine and the tarts. After a day of labor, the Thanksgiving feast was prepared and my company was impressed. We sat at the table and deliriously gazed at the taste bud torturing meal. Within seconds the serving plates and bowls were emptied. And no sooner that this been done, ' when the food was hysterically shovelled into our mouths and in a matter of minutes ' the feast devoured. How could it be, a whole week of planning and hours of preparation gone in a matter of 15 minutes. Nothing was left to show of my gourmet talents. but a bunch of shrivelled bones and cranberry stained plates. A fire, destroying the meal in a singe couldn't have been worse. If only I had known that all we'd have left to show of my Thanksgiving dinner is an added bulge.
