COOKING ELECTIVE
One day, sitting in my desk, I
something just mouth-
Watteraingt so I followed my nose
ended .up in the stuff room.
1(, saw the cooking elective.
'There are eight boys and seven
girls in this group. Every day six,
from 10.35 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. this
etive heads dawn to the staff
Mom and makes something. So
far they have made pancakes,
macaroni and cheese, cheese
dogs which are really only hot
dogs with cheese, sloppy joes,
milk shakes, and candy apples.
Doesn't that sound good?

CANDLE JMAKING
--IN--ROOM 15
Recently, Miss Amos' grade 7
and 8 class, supervised by Mr.
Fisher, made candles. The
our upcoming trip to Ottawa.
Many shapes and sizes of bottles
were brought in for forms.
Everyone put a good effort
forward in making them, so that
they could be sold. I think every-
one -enjoyed making them.
Andther„ possible method of
.making money in our classroom
is to sell tickets for a lottery. This
idea struck Mr. Fisher over the
weekend. Mr. Fisher is.not sure
about it yet, but we hope to find
out the defitie decision soon.

SOMETHING NEW
In Mrs. Kirkby's Room 14, the
class has started a debating team
to present issues to the class. It
will teach the students to respect
the opinion of others and also let
them have a change of lesson
with a lot of participation of the
class. On Tuesday, they debated
on "Who Won the War of 1812". It
was fairly well presented,
considering it was the first time
for most of them. Only those who
are willing to get up and have
their say are picked by the
Captain and assistants. The
Captain and assistants pick the
topic, pick two students for the
affirmative, two for the negative,
and then leave them on their own.
It has proved interesting, so they
plan to have another one on the
U.F.O. matter or else on our
school spirit.

Assistant editor
THE SPOOKS
On Thursday, October 31st, the
goblins and ghosts from
Kindergarten to Grade 4, de-
lighted the older students with
many colorful and humorous
disguises as they paraded
through the Grade , 5 to 8
classrooms. This bewitching
tradition has been carried on for
many years.
The fun of dressing up in
spooky costumes was a chance to
display what our trick or treaters
look like as they prowl from
house to house in the foggy full
moon. Hopefully, everyone had
an enjoyable spooky shell -out
time on Hallowe'en night.

THE VINCENTS'
PRESENTATION
Mr. Vincent came to our school
to give a presentation on South
America in the auditorium. The
presentation lasted for 45
minutes and was followed by a
ten-minute question period, The
slides which he brought were
very enjoyable and interesting
for all who were present. The
iictures had: been taken by him
or hi w.if:,o.
. Vincent told the school that
he had driven in buses without
brakes and flown in World War 1I
planes to get across the contin-
ent. The people on the bus would
ask if they could see the
wonderful things which the
Vincents' children had and it
would just be -a diaper or
something very common to us in
North America. When heeft the
school he told Mr. Robertson that
this school had been one of the
best behaved schools he have
visited.

eterinary director-general
clears s ntario bull semen
Recent reports concerning the
alleged contamination of bull
semen sold to cattle breeders, are
completely unfounded, Glynn
Coghlin of RR 1, Atwood, a
director of United Breeders Inc.
of Guelph says.
Mr. Coghlin said he spent the
weekend talking to provincial
and federal officials regarding
the matter. Although a statement
has been issued by Dr. K. F.
Wells, veterinary director-
general, that Ontario bull semen
tested by the federal department
of agriculture -before export has
never been found, to contain dis-
e-111110116411Eu :flgentisk .Mr.. _
Coghlin says this might not be
sufficient to allay the fears
caused by the initial stories.
"We know a lot of cattle
breeders saw that first,story and
were concerned. We're wonder-
ing though how many saw the fol-
low-up statement by Dr. Wells,"
he said.
Mr. Coghlin said besides Dr.
Wells' findings, another study,
performed - by. Dr. Norman A.
Fish, associate professor in the
microbiology and immunology
department of the Ontario Veter-
inary College, shows similar
results.
Dr. Fish who has studied more
than 400 samples of bull semen
during the past two years said
"none contained pathogenic (dis-
ease -causing) bacteria."
The matter of alleged con-
tamination of bull semen was
raised in the legislature last week
by MPP Murray Gaunt (Huron -
Bruce -L) after tie was ap-
proach0 by a group sponsored
by the Church of Scientology with
charges made by John Purvis, a
former laboratory technician for
the United Breeders Inc.
In a subsequent interview Ag-
riculture Minister William
Stewart backed up Mr. Gaunt's
statement in the house, saying
that although he had no proof to
pinpoint any of several
companies that market the
semen, "It's happening alright."
Mr. Coghlin said he was com-.
pletely mystified by the
minister's actions.
"Why he would make such a
statement without any proof, —
even admitting he had no proof is
incomprehensible," Mr. Coghlin
said, adding that the minister had
.refused to meet with companyrc f-
ficials during . the weekend.
- "We had a very good meeting
with Murray Gaunt and in order
to correct the story, he even sug-
gested he might go on television
to discuss it," said Mr. Coghlin.
The former employee, John
Purvis, who made the charges
regarding the contamination of
the semen ° was fired by United
Breeders, Mr. Coghlin said and
had been charged with theft over
$200. "His trial Is pending right
now.,,
A second man, Kitchener -area
veterinarian Dr. Lloyd Banbury,
who said straw -type semen
packages were linked to in-
fertility in cows by -a Tanzanian
report,• had also been fired by
United Breeders sometime ago,
Mr. Coghlin said.
The straw -type semen pack-
ages referred to by Dr. Banbury
were also tested by Dr. Fish, who
said he had studied a number of
them and found "members of the
bacillus group, but these in no
way effect the quality of the
semen."
Dr. Fish said .pseudomonas
bacteria, cited in the Ontario
legislature this week as a semen
contaminant, is found every-
where and only one species is
pathogenic.
"You can find species of
pseudomonas in soil, itt -water,
and just about anywhere else you
go," Dr. Fish said. "Most of these
are harmless."
Dr. Fish said he was com-
pletely "surprised" by Ag-
riculture Minister William Stew-
art's allegations after MPP
Murray Gaunt ° (L, Huron -Bruce)
told the legislature of alleged bull
semen contamination.
*He (Stewart)° is saying things
that completely contradict the
results of my studies," Dr. Fish
said. "To say the least, I was
very surprised."
Dr. Wells says the word "Con-
tamination" has been used fre-
quently this week in referring to
bull semen, but noted "nobody
has defined the word."
"Has John Purvis decided to
write the definition of that
word? Dr. Wells said. "Sterile
semen cannot be produced so
every sample is going to have
some bacteria.
."All of the bacteria found in
samples we test has been routine
livestock (variety) found in the
livestock industry. If you use con-
taminated on that standard, then
I guess it is."
Dr. Wells noted, however, that
milk too could be considered con-
taminated using that same stan-
dard.
Dr. Wells said legislation pre-
pared to go before the House of
Commons would tighten existing
regulations concerning bull
semen "in spite of Canada having
the best -controlled artificial in-
ore/
if t
r
SMOKE BILLOWING from a fire that razed a garage belonging to Arnold Steckley on
Monday, could be seen miles from the scene. Winghdm's fire department answered the
call but could not save the building. An estimated $10,000 to $15,000 loss was attributed to
the fire which started when sparks froma welding torch ignited a truck's gas tank. There
were no injuries reported as a result of the blaze. (Staff Photo)
semination units (companies) in
the world."
He said when the legislation is
approved, he will meet with vari-
ous semen -producing companies
to set down new guidelines and to
learn if there are any problem
areas.
Ontario has no laws controlling
quality of bull semen. The federal
department of agriculture tests
samples of all semen to be ex-
ported to countries that have
standards but the product can be
sold in Canada or the United
States without controls.
