At Turnberry the older
children always have the honor of
receiving awards for special.
events in which they participate.
We have a new awards • system
for the children in grades K to 4.
The younger children get their
pictures taken for doing
something special. The picture is
displayed in the hall with a write-
up explaining the reason for the
award,, Then they may take the
picture home. The following have
been rewarded recently:
Kindergarten -Caroline Hum-
phrey had her picture taken` for
completing all her work and
having it done neatly and with
everything correct.
Grade 1 -Angela Bishop had her
picture taken for her neat work.
Grade 2 -Chad Jones had his
picture taken for completing his
assignments and obeying all
classroom rules.

Rathbun, helped us celebrate the

Festival which was held Nov. 18-
25. We now know more about

their books.

lass is painting a Christmas
mural which will be displayed in
the main foyer for the Christmas
concert.
Grade 4 -Mr. Kerr's class is
writing Christmas cards to pen
pals in British Columbia. The
Grade 4 class is also making
Advent calendars. Each day a
door is opened and a Christmas
symbol is shown. Each day after
a door is opened they talk about a
Christmas legend.
Grade 5 -Boys and girls from
grades 4-8 have been organized
into two ukelele groups at Turn -
berry Central. The boys meet on
Tuesdays and the girls on
Thursdays. The boys' group has
about a dozen eager members
and the girls have about 30
equally eager members and are
progressing very well. The ad-
dition of a string bass and a set of
drums has done a great deal for
our ukelele performances. The
groups are under the direction of
Mr., Kerr and Mr. Sinnamon.

nsrrren plan to help with
Centenn'iai Week next summer
The Wingham Kinsmen Club will host a
beer tent and a beef barbeque as its con-
tributions to Centennial'' Week next summer,
with all proceeds from the two events going to
the centennial committee to help defray
expenses.
At a meeting of the club last week, attended
by three members of the centennial com-
mittee, the Kinsmen renewed their com-
mitment to help with the summer
celebrations. It is now up to the club to
organize the events, which will be held the

and Doug T Jutlined the committee's
plans for . and gave highlights of a
tentative
Mr. Kennedy explained the town has funded
the committee so far to the tune of about
$5,000, but it hopes that by the end of cen-
tennial year it will be able to repay the town
and break even on income and expenses. Any
money left over after all..expenses have been
paid will probably be distributed among the
various groups which have contributed, he
said.
Among the major expenses he listed were
$6,500 for the big parade, most of it going to
bring in the 10 bands organizers hope to have;
$4,800 for advertising and promotions; about
$4,000 for general costs; $2,800, for
registration and $2,000 for recreation. Other
costs will be for the home and school and
program committees.
Offsetting these expenses are an an-
ticipated revenue of about $10,000 through the
sale of souvenirs and a raffle, with additional
money raised through a registration fee
Centennial Week, but the committee is still
counting on fund-raising events run by the
service clubs to help it break even, Mr.
Kennedy told the Kinsmen.
"Let's work together and make the thing
work," he, challenged the club, pointing out
it's everybody's centennial,' not just the
centennial committee's. Club past president
Gary Watcher" promised the Kinsmen are

work with it.
