Bannockburn Con- servation Area - On Tues- day, October 13th, Mrs. Charter's grade 6 class went to the Bannockburn Con- servation Area. We left at 1 in the afternoon. At first we just talked and sang songs. Finally we arrived and a nice man named Dan greeted us. Dan handed outer, papers . which were calleW tree keys and explained how to use them. He told us what to do and what not to do. We started out. There was a walkway made of boards. Dan said that it must be like that because water would be up to our ankles if we took one step. He would ask us questions about the trees which we had to look up in our tree keys. Dan showed us a tree which had fallen over and then grew straight. We had to walk over this bridge one at a time. He told us which trees were coniferous and which were deciduous. Con- iferous trees are the ones with cones. Time flew and we had to go back. I enjoyed it and think that you should visit Ban- nockburn. by Jacquie Draper BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Clinton Electric"' White:Restinghouse I 447 -i fat xtrint Appliances Sales and Service APPLIANCE REPAIRS ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE 90 ALBERT ST. 482-3646 APPLIANCE and REFRIGERATION REPAIR SERVICE Jim Broadfoot 482-7032 Lloyd Garland FURNITURE REFINISHING AND UPHOLSTERY Corner Sth Avenue and Halifax St., Vanastrd Phone 4829576 TRAVEL THE COACH HOUSE TRAVEL SERVICE 59 HAMILTON ST.
