Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-04-27, Page 2PAGE 2—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1978 TED BITS BY JOANNE WALTERS CANADA WEEK (June 25 to July 1 is a project first initiated in 1969 by The Council for Canadian Unity. This council is an apolitical, non-profit organization of volunteers in all parts of Canada working for the promotion of Canadian unity. The Council is encouraging Canadians to get involved in celebrating our country, to get to know and understand one another and, at least, to see that Canada is a country where we can differ and still be united. The Council also suggests that a Canada Week com- mittee be formed in this community. If anyone is interested in starting such a committee, more information can be obtained by contacting Chad F. Bark, National Chairman or Barry A. Jones, Director of Communications at The Council for Canadian Unity, 2055 Peel Suite 1000, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1V4 (514) 849-5303. + + + Few people would disagree with the proposition that children should be protected from the many hazards that threaten them. Yet, the number of accidents, injuries and deaths, although decreasing, remains at an unacceptable level. Each year more than 650 children under 15 years of age die in traffic related accidents, nearly 275 drown and ap- proximately 175 die by suf- focation. Fire alone accounts for nearly 160 deaths among children.

This year, the top project chosen from the Grade 7 and 8 classes was one cn the electric light bulb by Grade 8 students Lynne McCallum (left) and Joanne Buchanan. The projects will count toward the students' science marks. The girls say it took them about a week to complete their project and they learned that it is very difficult to make a light bulb that works. They also learned that they had to use thin wire in their ex- periment.
