John Schneiker, centre, and Wayne Doak, both of Goderich,
didn't seem to mind giving their pint of blood at the annual fall
Blood bonor Clinic of the Canadian Red Cross Society last
Wednesday evening. With so many good looking volunteers
around to take the donations, who would mind? The clinic is
reported to have been very successful, despite inclement weather
and Mrs. Frank J. Curry, clinic chairman, said this week 248
donations were received. --. staff photo

Kindergarten — All week they
have been studying—shapes, the
triangle, square and the circle.
Open Area— Everyone has
been having fun in the snow and
there was a snowman contest
but no news of who won. Tony
Corn and Pat Murphy did a play
on Apollo I2.. that was done very
well.
Grade Four — Grade 4 started •
the winter with' poems on the
first snowfall. Carol Fisher did
this one titled The First
Snowfall:
The first snowfall is gay,
All children run and play,
Sleep is what a bear likes,
But children like snow hikes,
I hope it doesn't go away.
Children stick out their tongues
Whenever the snow comes,
Now the snow is going away,
The children are not very gay,
To see the spring come.
Grade Five and Six — The
Grade 5's and 6 made puppets
and put on a puppet show for
two of the rooms. From what
I've heard, they were very good.
Grade Six and Seven - .This
week the grades six and seven's
finished their science project of
Plants and Their Relation To
Man. They all were very colorful
and well done.
Grades Seven and Eight
The senior room worked as
guides, coffee servers and also
helped the teachers at the
parent -teachers meetings
Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
. They were kept busy by parents
needing their assistance.

times.
In Mrs. Moerbeek's room,
grade 6 and 7 were making
"psychodaelic beasts.': To do
this they took a pattern they
made a few months before and
drew a picture of an animal on
it. Some "beasts" were :dogs,
cats and horses.

in industry and scientists in

understanding of each other's

Since,. its existence there has
been -a major improvement in

also between other government

BIAFRA PEACE DAY
I think you may like to know
that Thursday, November 27;
has been designated as Biafra
Peace Day, which will be
observed throughout Canada.
The purpose of the day is to
mobilize Canadians to mourn
the tragedy of the Nigeria/Biafra
war through direct and positive
action for peace. This, activity
will seek to impress upon our
own Government and other
involved foreign governments,
that concerned people in Canada
will not be silenced in their
persistent cry for diplomatic
initiatives toward a ceasefire,
and an end to foreign finance
and supply of arms which have
already cost two million lives.
The plans for this day are
being co-ordinated by Interpax,
P.O. Box 399K, Toronto. It is
hoped that organizations and
individuals throughout the
country will in some way be able
to show their concern for . this
appalling tragedy. Some of the
activities which have been
suggested to be organized by
local groups are as follows:
(1) Church vigils (2) Fasts (3)
- Meetings and rallies at city halls
around the noon hour to include
women and school children (4)
collection of . petitions (text
attached) to be sent to the
Canadian and British
governments (5) visits by large
groups of citizens to their local
M:P.'s or M.P.P.'s (6) letter
writing and telegram campaigns
to the Prime Minister (7)
peaceful demonstrations (8)
fundraising projects for the relief
operation.

agreement between government,
industry and medical agencies to
provide the most advanced
prosthesis devices for Canadians,
and the world.
Operating on established
hydraulic principles, the arm is
controlled by y electrical and/or
mechanical devices located on
the patient's body. A battery
supplies power to operate a
miniature high-speed electric
motor -hydraulic pump
combination, which sends fluid
through ' flexible plastic tubing
under high pressure to the
various hydraulic actuators.
The arms are light, with every
effort made - to give them a
life -like appearance. Modular
design helps in fitting the
prosthesis to patients of varying
physical size or degrees of
• amputation.
The obvious advantages of
these new arms to the older
models are their superior
strength, - ease of- control,
smoothness of operation, low
noise level, reliability and
resistance to damage by dirt
particles.
One measure of the
effectiveness of the IRAP can be
gauged by the projected time of
,completion of projects being
submitted, according to G. V.
Donaldson, Assistant Secretar`' ' 'ow
of the IRAP committee.
"During the early years,
companies made requests for
suppprt of projects expected to
last an average of just three years
-- hardly enough time to. launch
any major undertaking. Now,
most of the proposals received
request support for the present
maximum of five yearp, and
some will require many more
years of funding by the
company to reach fruition. This
is a significant shift and we like
to think our program is
encouraging industrial
companies to plan farther into
the future," he says.
To help you plan Farther into
the future and make good things
happen to you, join the several
other millions of' Canadians
supporting the current bond
drive. Canada Savings Bonds
continue to be a unique
investment. They are an essential
element in the, Government of
Canada's financing program.
They offer a wide range of
individual Canadians an
opportunity to contribute to our
national growth and
development, and this yearthey
give you the best return ever!
