Vsbome students- enjoy visit
to Toronto .museum, planetarium
A group of students from
Usborne Central School recently
enjoyed a bus trip to Toronto
which included visits to the Royal
Ontario Museum and the
McLaughlin Planetarium.
The students from grades
seven and eight were ac-
companied by science teachers
Larry Black and. Irene Haugh.
Following are portions of
stories written by three of the
students:
our class went on a trip to outer
space. By visiting the planets we
learned about them,
We arrived back, the lights
came on and then we were
allowed to take pictures,
Although the whole trip was
enjoyable I think this show was
the best part of our excursion,

I think the most interesting
part of our trip to Toronto was
when our class visited the
McLaughlin Planetarium.
It was a new experience for all
as we sat back and relaxed in the
reclining seats, ready for the
show to begin.
In the center of the room sat the
Zeiss Planetarium instrument. In
the Instrument are many
projectors which show the pic-
tures of the universe onto the
high-domed ceiling.
The lights dimmed and the
night sky appeared high above
our heads. We were told about
constellations and where their
locations are in the sky, and then Parents are educators

between. Due to this the child in
today's society needs some solid
anchor points and this is one of
the aims of the Separate School
system.
Actual reference was made to
curriculum contents and em-
phasis was made that the pupil
is an individual with his own rate
of learning and his own abilities
and has to be accepted as such.
Questions were then invited
from the floor and this enabled
Mr. Tokar to answer any
questions that anyone may have
with reference to such a wide
topic.
The next meeting will be held
on May 7 at 8 p.m. with John
McCarroll as guest speaker.

At the Museum we were
divided into twp groups and taken
to two different places to explore.
First we had to learn more about
the background of this section
which was prehistoric life. We
compared the skeleton of a cave
age bear to a skeleton of modern
man. We saw the skeleton of a
mastodon and an animal related
to the deer but larger.
Another section dealt with
horses. It showed us an early
horse skeleton, which wasn't
much bigger then the average
dog, up to the skeleton of a
modern horse which most people
would recognize.
In one case they showed us the
tar pits in which many skeletons
have been preserved and found in
present day life.
Near the back of the exhibit is a
display of ancient fish with large
teeth.
One section of the prehistoric
life is not open yet but will be
opening on March 11,
Next we went to the Geology
section and saw hundreds of
beautiful stones including
diamonds, silver and something
we all wish we had a pound of
gold.
After the tour we went to the
dinosaur den for lunch which was
followed by a tour of the
McLaughlin Planetarium.
There we sat in the star theatre
and watched a very interesting
film about the Sun, the planets,
and the stars.
This seemed as if we were
looking out into space but it ended
all too soon, and we were on our
way home.
All good things have to end
don't they?
"The role of Catholic Schools"
was the theme of a talk given by
Joseph Tokar, acting superin-
tendent for the Huron-Perth
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board, at the Precious Blood
P.T.A. meeting, Tuesday,
He indicated parents are the
first and most important
educators of children. This was
extended into the area of
curriculum which was defined as
the total activity of schools;
which in turn is decided by
society.
Mr. Tokar explained the means
by which the individual citizen
can help guide the purpose and
functions of schools. These en-
compassed voting for political
parties and trustees who appear
to have a good educational
platform; attending P.T.A. and
advisory committee meetings.
This feedback in turn is
translated into a curriculum
guide it was at this juncture that
he stated that public and
separate schools have the same
basic curriculum and this
curriculum has three basic ob-
jectives: 1) The child has to learn
about the environment within
which he lives; The child should
learn an acceptance of society
and the school should assist the
child to use the abilities he has in
society.
The separate schools had three
further aims; The child should
learn that he has definite basic
relationships to God, fellow man,
to nature and himself; there is a
stress on Christian formation,
and finally that the child loses
nothing to his ability and the
sacredness of his personality
when he goes to school.
Mr. Tokar quoted Alvin Tof-
fler's Future Shock and pointed
out that modern day society is
progressing at a rapid rate and
the children have to learn to
make decisions due to these
changes and that no longer are
children faced with easy black or
white choices but there are
varying shades of grey in-
Geranium shoots
can supply garden
" 4.1 `C 4t,14 I. .,„,,
The longer, brighter days.: During the early growing
ahead will be drawing new period keep the sand barely
moist. A bright, but sunless
window in a cool room is an ideal
location. Grow the plants indoors
until late May, then transplant
into the garden.
Think ahead
while planting
growth from geraniums that
have spent the winter on win-
dowsills indoors.
These new shoots;can be used
to supply summer garden
geranium' needs, says Bob
Fleming, a horticultural expert
with the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Cut the shoots from the parent
plant and root them in coarse
sand. Once the cuttings have
formed roots (in three to four
weeks), remove the new plants
and place them in small clay or
peat pots. Use a good potting soil.
It is important to allow the new
cuttings to wilt in a warm room
for 24 hours before rooting them
in the sand. It is also a good idea
to dip the ends of the cuttings into
a fungicide, such as captan,
before potting.

We entered the Museum, talked
to a guide and deposited our coats
in a cloak room. Then our guide
for the morning joined us and we
headed for the mineral section.
Once we reached it the guide
described some minerals and
rocks.
After this discussion we were
*able to look around. We had been
split into groups so there weren't
too many of us in one place. The
most interesting stones I saw
were the gems, such as uncut
diamonds, garnets, sapphires
and amethysts. We also saw
jade, silver, and gold.
After touring through this
section we went into the geology
department. Here we learned
about the formation of Toroto and
glaciers. We were running out of
time so a new guide took us into
the prehistoric life section. Here
we talked about evolution,
prehiStoric man and animals,
The Theatre of Stars was really
neat, The whole ceiling was a
dome and it was also the screen.
The seats were slanted so you
were leaning back and looking
up. All around the room were
hidden projectors. As the show
began the whole screen became
the night sky. Following this we
learned about the stars and
planets. I was sorry to leave
because I really enjoyed it.

March is decision-making time
for home gardeners. And the
business of selecting small fruits
for backyard gardens should take
account of those that make first-
rate homemade jams and jellies.
"Strawberries are the easiest
to handle," sayd Burke McNeill,
horticulturist with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. "They can be grown in
beds, in hills and have even been
grown in wooden barrels with
holes in the sides."
Select a well-drained site,
provide plenty of water, and
disease and insect control during
the fruiting season, and there will
be lots of high-quality fruit to
preserve.
Raspberries are also easily
grown, but they require more
garden space. They need annual
removal of old fruiting canes and
control of suckers. If this is done,
raspberries can be confined to a
reasonably small area and will
produce plenty of fruit for
raspberry jam,
Red, black or white currants,
alsomakeexcellent jelly or jam,
They are highly susceptible to
insect damage, however, and
need a good spray program from
the time the fruit starts to
develop until harvest time, to
provide effective control. Just
two currant plants will grow
enough fruit for several jars of
jam or jelly.
