Students received help from their Grade 8 buddies in cre- ating spring windsocks out of a variety of materials. They also made paper plate fish to be friends for ''Swimmy," a little fish in a film they watched, and made paper loop robins and sang "Robin in the Rain." Future plans include the making of a book, "Spring is Here," and going for a walk to find signs of spring. Last week Sara Elliott's mother brought in her pet snake - a young boa constric- tor. Most of the E.Y. children enjoyed holding thc snake, and everyone learned a great deal and was fascinated while watching the .snake. The snake, and Mrs. Elliott, also visited other classrooms at the school. In other news, Grade 7/8 students Erin Beucrman, Katie Thomas, Scott McDonald and Tim Hopper were at the Seaforth Manor last Tuesday for the weekly bowling activity. All Grade 7/8 students witnessed the presentation on the Titanic, given at Seaforth District High School on Thursday.

Registration has to be in by April 18. Roar tato sprue with a ti ne op Spring and fall are the best times to give your car_the once over. Here's a list of what to do: • Inspect and -replace iters. The air filter ensures that clean air enters your engine. It keeps dust and airborne impurities from getting into internal components, and prevents damage. Clogged air filters restrict airflow. which increases gas consumption and polluting emissions. • Change the oil. Oil is your engine's lifeblood. It reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts, and removes acids, sludge and other harmful substances. Oil also helps cool the engine and serves as a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons. It also prevents the engine from rusting. With use, oil gets contaminated and must be changed. Neglecting to do this can result in severe damage to your engine. Some types of oil offer both increased protection against engine friction, and superior fuel economy. These products are marked "Energy Conserving 1I." Re -refined oil certified with the Ecologo • performs as well as motor oil from original sources. Each time you change your oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. • Rotate your tires. Because the front and rear tires on your car perform different functions, they wear -differently. To ensure that your tires last as long as possible, maintain proper fire pressure, rotate them regularly, check wheel alignment for uneven tire wear (eg. worn on one side only). If you need new tires, be sure to ask your garage about . environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old ones. • Have your engine 'scission controls checked. Healthy engine emission controls and electronics are crucial if your car is to run efficiently. Unfortunately it's hard to tell if you drive a big pollution emitter, unless of course smoke is billowing out "of the tailpipes. Because carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are both colourless and odourless, it's difficult to know how badly your vehicle is treating the environment. As a result, it's very important to ensure that your emission control system is checked every time you get your car tuned up. Spring Maintenance important for you and your car Spring maintenance helps your car and the environment Maintaining your car is a win-win situation. Besides helping the environment, a properly maintained and operated vehicle runs more efficiently and has a longer road life. Here are some money and environment saving Spring car care tips: • Keep your engine tuned - up - a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 per cent. Follow the service schedules listed in the owner's manual and replace filters and fluids as recommended - you'll save fuel and help cut down on air pollution too. • Check tires for proper inflation. Under inflation wastes fuel - because the engine has to work harder .to overcome the increased rolling resistance of the softer tire. Wheels that are out -of - alignment (as evidenced by uneven tread or vehicle pulling) also burn energy. Properly maintained tires last longer, which means fewer tires on the. scrap heatp. • Attention Do-it- yourselfc.rs: dispose of used motor oil, anti-freeze/coolant, tires, and old batteries properly. Many repair facilities accept these items, orcall your local government for information on recycling sites. Never dump used oil or anti -freeze on the ground or in streams. • If you are not a do-it- yourselfer, find a good technician. Ask friends and associates ' for recommendations and check the shop's reputation with your local consumer group. • When your air conditioner needs servicing, go to a competent technician who is certified to handle and recycle refrigerants. Air conditioners contain CFC's - gases that have been implicated in the depletion of the ozone layer. These gases can escape during improper service and repair, so it's important to choose .a qualified technician. • Good driving habits are also important. By driving well you can get the moat out of your vehicle while minimizing environmental damage. Money Saving Tips Avoiding the money drain Cars can be a real drain on the pocketbook. Here are some Auto$mart pointers on how to stem the flow: • Don't top your tank up to the brim when buying gasoline. The excess fuel will -likely spill out due to natural expansion. • Change your oil and oil filter as scheduled. Oil breaks down under use and loses its capacity to lubricate, cool and protect your engine. Check your car owners' manual for the recommended maintenance schedule, follow it, and your car will perform better. • Don't rev the engine .after • starting up, or before shutting off, your car. It causes excessive wear, consumes fuel and increases the degradation of your engine oil. • Keep your tires properly inflated for maximum fuel efficiency. Check them at home with a pressure gauge while the tires are still cold. Warm tires give an inaccurate reading because inflation pressure increases during use. • Look for oil products marked "Energy Conserving Ii." They contain additives that increase fuel economy by as much as three percent. VEHICLE SALES & SERVICE APPLY NOW FOR YOUR INTEREST FREE CREDIT CARD AND RECEIVE..
