AUTHORS OF BLYTH PUBLIC SCHOOL by Tina Burkholder and Kimberley Ferguson In the past few months, grade 3, 5 and 6 have been writing their own books. Mrs. Webster, our teacher­ librarian, helped us. The first step is to choose a topic, write the rough copy and have it checked. Then the good copy is written, pictures are drawn and an author’s page is written. To make the cover, you cut cardboard a little bigger than the shape of the book and then cover the carboard with a material the author has chosen. The pages are then sewn to a piece of wallpaper and glued to the cardboard. Theobjectof thisactivity is to produce a book which may partici­ pate in the regional Author’s Day. MESSAGE RECEIVED by Stephanie Lentz and John Ramirez About two weeks ago, B.P.S. released balloons to celebrate Education Week at approximately 1:15 p.m. The same day at 3:30 p.m., Lois Walkling of R.R. 5, Belleville, Ontario found “a very shredded balloon” in her flower­ ing crab bush. She wrote a return message to the school that same day. In her letter she asked, “I wonder how long it took your message to fly to the Belleville area.” Little did she know that it had left our school just two hours earlier. The students are looking for­ ward to other return messages.

But not many people know how much it takes to be a soldier in the Salvation Army. The inhuman hours. The incredible patience. The brutal situations. Taking responsibility for those whom society is unable to take responsibility for. Providing help, and then hope, for the people who need it most. But they know. Anyone whose life the Salvation Army has touched knows. And we ask for them, that you give. As much as you can. For the love of God.
