Thousands of kids are leaping into the soft piles and getting bits of bright colored leaves in their hair and pockets. Did you ever wonder why leaves fall in the autumn, or why they change colors? Many people think that leaves fall because of the first frost of autumn. Guess what? This isn't true! In fact, frost temperatures have little to do with leaves falling at" all, But why do they fall? Every autumn a layer of cells forms at the base of leaf stems. This layer becomes soft — a wind comes along — and to dah! — the leaf blows away. This layer of cells form for several reasons. Frost isn't one of them, but lower temperatures is. So is a lack of water. Scientists think that the main reason is the change in the length of day. Leaves seem to be sensitive to the sun going down earlier in the autumn. Not all leaves "Change" color in the autumn, they just look as if they have. Yellow, orange, and brown colors have always been present in the leaves, its just that the bright green color of summer masks them. In the summer the green color fades because trees stop making it. Scientists don't know why, but they do know that the other colors shine through. Leaves that become red or purple in the fall have changed color. Trees start to make these two colors in the crisp, clear days of autumn. Now you know why leaves turn different colors and why they fall. Have fun playing in them!

EY STEPHANIE I,EVF$QUE ..The Hixon -Perth Separate School Board will wait for a pronouncement by John Michael Sherlock, Bishop of the London Diocese in regards to UNICEF boxes. Brought before the board at its September 14 meeting in the form of a bulletin from the Ontario Separate School Teacher's Association, the board decided to wait for the pronouncement Director of Education William Eckert said the mat- ter of stowing the children to carry UNICEF boxes on Hallowe'en. has come up every year for the past three years. He said at present the board leaves it up to the discretion of the individual principals. The complaint against UNICEF is that it is reported to support planned paren- thood in Third World Coun- tries, claims UNICEF has denied in the past. Mr. Eckert said the "quandry" for the separate schools is whether the school children should becomed involved. Trustee Arthur Haid said he thought the separate schools should support the Catholic missions. "Here in Canada, and throughout the world, especially . Cana: Cada," said Bishop Marcel A. Gervais, dhxiliary bishop' of the Lon- don Diocese. (of Windsor) said in the .past (and reported to the board) that some. kind of "public awareness" of what UNICEF does should be done. He said Bishop Sherlock would make a pro- nouncement this fall. Mr. Eckert said that when the doubts surrounding UNICEF first came up, the separate schools were almost. 100 per cent actively involved. Chairman of the board Ronald Murray said he has 1. C.H.S.S. NIGHT CLASSES Watch for the full listing of classes in today's paper and in our September 30th edition. never been called on by anyone with a UNICEIF box - He suggested that instead of the children getting the boxes from the schools, they be obtained elsewhere. "I don't like the controver- sy," said Chairman Murray, One trustee, Ernest Vanderschot said he thought it was good for the children to learn '.,o give. He said the boxes should be available to each child and he disagreed with the opinion UNICEF is wrong. "UNICEF is good," said Trustee Vanderschot. The board will wait until its Sentpmhpr 911 meeting. allowing ,trustees time to think the matter over and to wait for Bishop Sherlock's pronoucement. In other business, the board appointed three trustees, Ron Marcy, Lor- raine Devereaux and chair- man Murray, to sit on an ad- visory committee. The com- mittee, formed under Bill 82 will have up to 12 members. The other members are presently being advertised for and have to be. concerned adults who are members of a local incorporated associa- tion whose primary purpose is exceptional children. 0 PART-TIME AND CONTINUING EDUCATION.
