Nutrition Workshop at St.
Joseph's led by Cathy
Thomson from the Huron
County Health Unit in
Goderich:
hear stories of kings and
queens, of beautiful
princesses and handsome
princes. The young child
quickly assimilates these
ageless moral lessons of
basic goodress which
conquers evil.
Our Canadian folk tales
are rather unique
because they have as
their central focus, the
animal and Canada's
native peoples.
In How Summer Came
to Canada by William
Toye, the seasons are
made to happen in a
beaitiful sequence of
pictures featuring scenes
of icy desolation and
sunny flowering
greenness.
The Loon's Necklace by
the same author recounts
the heroic attempts of the
loon in his efforts to spare
an aging father from
blindness and an ugly
witch.
The chipmunk saves a
tribe of Indians and
changes his whole ap-
pearance in How the
Chipmunk Got Its Stripes
by Nancy Cleaver.
A clever princess tricks
the king's son in The
Princess of Tombaso by
Frank Newfeld.
Mary Alice Downie also
adapts folk tales from
French Canada in The
Witch of the North. '
The Indians told stories
to explain how their
world was made; they
told stories to preserve
their 'history for them-
selves and their children;
they told stories because
there were always those
who wanted to listen.
Eleven stories 'retold in
Song of the Forest by
Isabel Barclay are all
about birds and animals
and best enjoyed heard
aloud.
The Day Tu•k•Boca.me a,
Hunter by Ronald Melzac
features witches, wild
beasts arid courageous
deeds of Eskimos.
James Houston tells of
Kiviok's long, dangerous
search for'his lost family
that takes hia far to the
south and across a
mighty ocean, there to
confront the raven in a
life -and -death struggle.
Kiviok's Magic Journey
will provide all readers
and listeners with a
memorable experience.

The Yankees won that
game 8 - 2. Thursday's
game attracted a lot of
spectators who saw the
Blue Jays win a close
game with a final score of
5 - 4. Because we play 3
pitch, the girls all had a
chance at bat.
