letter to the editor
Kindergarteners
:Perhaps some readers of .this
weekly paper .have seen the
kindergarten classes from our
.school, out walking. Perhaps you
wondered where they were
going.
We would like you to know
that each time we go out, we
have a definite pre -arranged
destination, We would like to
share with you some of our
learning experiences, One of
these was to the barn of William
Hough, because 14 Children out
of a class of 40 had never been
in a barn
The cows were in the
barnyard when we arrived, but
they a1I came in when they were
called, and, when we entered,
they were all tied up in their
stalls.
game of the things we
learned about cows are as
follows:
1. Cows don't bite people.
2. Cows have big soft eyes.
3. Cows can stick their
tongues up their noses.
4, Cows don't hit at you with
their tails when you walk behind
them.
5. Cows give lots of milk.
6. Cows do not have a toilet
like we do. They just go in a
long hole in the floor if they
stand in the right place.
7. Cows are really big —
almost as big as our teacher.
8. The milk comes from a
little hole, if you squeeze hard
enough.
9. Cows look like they are
praying when they get down on
their knees to lie down.
10. You don't cut the cow
open to get a baby calf out of
her stomach.
Mr. Hough and the teacher
were busy answering such
questions as:`
1. Why are the tags in the
cows ears?
2. Does the cow carry her calf
in that thing hanging down
under her?
go sightseeing
3, 'Hpw does the .ealf get out.
pf the cow?
4, How -many bottles of milk
would be in one cow?
5, Where ;are the horns? Why
did you cut them off?
6. If you have black and
white cow, do the barn cats
have to be black and white too?
Another trip of great interest
to everyone was to the former
Tom Darling variety store, now
owned by Mr. and Mrs, James
McCarthy. There, we learned all
about budgie -raising.
What we learned was:
1. A place where birds are
hatched and raised is .called .an.
aviary.
2. Budgies lay,their eggs on a
hollow board instead of a nest.
3. Baby budgies have no
feathers. They are bare — just
like our mice.
4. Mother budgies lay 'one egg
every other day and start to sit,
on the first egg. Some nests had
babies one day old — right up to
10 days old, all in the same nest.
5. When you hold a baby
bird, it tickles your hand.
6. Mother birds eat the food
and swallow it, and then bring it
up and feed it to the little ones.
7. Baby birds have no eyes
for almost a week.
8. The eggs feel like
"nothing" sitting in your hand.
That's how little they are.
We would like to thank these
two gentlemen for taking their
time to show us around their
buildings. We tried to be quiet so
we wouldn't scare their creatures
and on returning to our classes,
we made a booklet of our visit.
We also thank Mr. East for
letting us visit his camp, while he
was making maple syrup.
Maybe the next time you see
the class, you will join them and
maybe you might learn
something too. D. Williams

Farm federation cites work
The Huron County
Federation of Agriculture
suggests that a tax rebate on
gasoline used on farms is an
example of work done by the
federation on behalf of farmers
here.
In a press release this week,
the federation recalls that the
following resolution was passed
by the directors last March:
Whereas, agriculture is becoming
more specialized and
Whereas, more farmers are
doing custom work with specific
agricultural implements and
hiring custom operators for their
own farms (e.g. hiring spraying,
custom combining, etc,) and
Whereas, a farmer doing
custom work can claim only 13
cents per gallon of gas used
instead of 18 cents'per gallon on
the custom work he does,
Therefore be it resolved that
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture request that all gas

CHECK YOUR CAR
All moving parts wear with
time — even on YOUR car. If
you are driving at 60 m.p.h. and
your steering gives way, or your
master cylinder breaks, or a
wheel comes off — your chances
of injury or death are high.
CHECK YOUR CAR — CHECK
ACCIDENTS! asks the Ontario
Safety League.

Mr. McVean must first obtain his
release from duties with the
defence department.
Three names for each of the
positions had been presented to
the Board by R. B. Dunlop,
business administrator for final
consideration by the board.
