We think we are getting asking well. None of us need to use hhe chairs anymore. Soon we will be able to play the games on the ice with Grade 1 and 2. We of the Grade 1 and 2 are enjoying our Wednesday after- noon skating. We have pro- gressed from the chairs and are playing games on the ice. Stopp ng isn't the falling problem it once was and many of us are able to skate like flamingoes - on one foot. Grade 3 and 4 are now working on bird projects. Each person has chosen a different bird. We have done research to- find out where the bird lives, what it eats and any special habits it has. We will soon be ready to present our work to the class. Grade 5 and 6 have been doing projects in Social Studies on Asia. This week Mrs. John Day judged them. The first prize wa s awarded to Pauline Schmidt, Cathy • Ortlieb and Jerry DesRoches. Their project was on India. Second price was a tie between Lizanne Morrison, Mary Beth Foxton and Sheila Bennin- ger in the group doing the P1 Jli p - pines, Taiwan and Japan and Michelle Campeau, Attie Ke ret and Mike Doerr doing their pro- ject on Pakistan There was also a tie for third prize: David Nes- bitt, Kelly O'Hagan and Vmcent De Bruyn did Saudi Arabia and Interested winner Earl and Martha Heyw ood generously donated a prize for the annual meeting of the Ont; ario Weekly Newspapers Associa tion in Toronto two weeks ago - - at our request. At these convent ions it is customary for publis hers from all over the provinc e to bring along a wide range of pro- ducts from their home coma ami- ties to be given,away as door prizes, and incidentally, to publi- cize their home towns. Earl and Martha provide ed us with their recording "Tales .3f the Donnelly Feud", songs about the z _ famed Donnelly family of Lucan, _r ... were _., the, , victims of, a if \ Opsspcenturyy,aloonng wwitheof a t he book con- taining taining the sheet music for the songs and other information about the music and its cotm- poser, Earl Heywood. The prize was wort by Grant Walker of the Don ?hills Mirror. Asked whether he wanted an alternative prize, in. case he was nota country music: buff, he said, "No way." Seems he was raised in the Lucan area and was really tickled with his a ward. • Sacred Heart Mailbox Susan 1Nilhelm, Grace Schmidt and L.e,verne Steffler did Indo- Chines►e Peninsula.

I was one of them. My friend and I had been.waiting two days for a lift, on our way from Alaska to California, when this man in a green Datsun pickup stopped for us. He drove us more than - 800 miles, and went out of his way to let us out at Prince George, B.C. We'd promised to pay him $10 for '-kas, but ran into money trouble and had to tell him we'd mail the money to him. We lost the address, and all I remember is that his name is Art Benedict and he lives somewhere near Toronto, working for a rural school. We want to send him the - $10 so he won't pass us off a a cou- ple of ingrates. Can you locate him? Alison`Gdlieen, Concord, Cal. 4-0-0 It was only $10, but the prin- ciple was worth more than money. So when Action Line, our counterpart at the Oakland (Cal.) Tribune, relayed this plea to Star Probe, we dug- through several telephone books. With the aid of the provincial Vehicle driver branch, we found our Man at Formosa, 'near Wingham. Martin E. Benedict, .30, a teacher's aide at Madill Secon- dary, School, was pleasantly sur- prised. "I don't usually pick up more than . one hitchhiker, but this couple seemed down on their luck, and at that time of year there weren't that many cars on the road," he told Star Probe. "It's nice to know there are people who remember these little things, although I Mn't really expect to hear from them after all this time." . Benedict, single, was touring British Columbia and the Yukon, and was Good Samaritan that same month to a serviceman whose car had broken down. He towed it 138 miles to Whitehorse, . but never received even a note of thanks from him. • Why does he do these good turns? "I figure if I help someone today, someone may help me one day when I'm• in trouble."

Consider the Toronto Dominion Retirement Savings Deposit. The TD RSD is a bank deposit. That's the big differ- ence. Its attractive interest rate is adjusted twice yearly to match that of the TD five-year Certificate of Deposit. And you never have to worry about fluctuations in the market value of stocks and bonds as you would with some other R.R.S.P.'s. Finally, there's no interest penalty for deregistering'your TD RSD at any time. As with all R.R.S.P.'s, eligible annual contributions are deductible from your current taxable income — up to $4,001, in some cases. So depending on your circumstances, the 1974 income tax you defer can be substantial. For example, if ypu're an Ontario resident earning. $15,000 per year, have a spouse without art earned income, two children under 16, and no company pension plan, you're allowed to contribute $3,000 to a TD RSD. A $3,000 reduction-. in your taxable income will result in a current year tax deferral of $1,024! That same person contributing 5% of their earned income to a company pension plan can contribute up to $1,750 and make a 1974 tax savings of- $600. . Your TD Manager is the person to ask about a TD Retire- ment Savings Deposit.
