thought to those

homeless in, the, southern
regions of Italy for whom
the dream of Christmas

Strange Noises???
Have you ever been left alone at home? If you have, you
know that sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's not.
Often it's not fun because it's scarey. Everyone gets
scared when they hear strange noises. Houses make quite
a din in November.
Believe it or not, the .spooky creaks and groans you
hear in November can be explained. A strange noise isn't
frightening if you know what it is. Not many people are
afraid of a familiar noise.
In the fall the' weather changes. It becomes cold and
wind begins to blow. When weather changes from hot to
cold everything has to adjust to the new temperature.
This adjustment is noisy. When summer breezes become
fall gusts, houses make quite a racket.
When water gets cold it takes up more space. You can .
test this by comparing the water level of warm water in
an icecube tray with the water level .of frozen water.
Water expands when it becomes cold,
Many things contain water; cement, bricks, wood and
even the ground your house is on. When these things
become cold, the water in them expands. Some things
don't like to expand, so they creak, groan, crackle, boom
and moan.
That big boom in the basement is not necessarily a
monster. It may be the cement floor shifting. The water
in the ground expands and pushes the floor up so far that
it cracks. That creak from upstairs is probably not a
robber. The water in floorboards expands and makes the
wood groan.
When winter aproaches there is a lot more wind. That
noise you hear isn't someone crawling up the walls of
your house --• it's the wind making a tree scratch the
bricks. Gusts can also make windows rattle if they're not
in their frames tightly. Many noises are 'just the wind.'
If you are alone in your house and hear very strange
noises, don't be scared. It's just your place settling in for
the winter.

Mr. Addison's Grade 8
class is in the process of
painting a mural on the
wall outside their
classroom. The scene is
going to depict different
animals throughout the
ages.
We have been very

techniques in painting a
mural. The first time he
was at the school, he gave
us a few pointers on the
scenery we would need to
create and how we would
go about it.
We then • drew the.
scenery and started
putting in pxAistoric
animals through the
years working up to man.
Mr. Simpson was then
asked to come in again.
He told us that the class
did a good job but a few
minor changes were
needed. -
The class then finished
the drawing and started
painting. Mr. Simpson
was needed again to show
us how to paint the mural.
We thank Mr. Simpson
