Ye'fo, e Howick Grapevine WOODWORKING ELECTIVE Out in the: portable, on day 6, I journeyed out looking for some- thing to report on. As I stood in the pouring rain I tossed about in my head many questions. Soon 1 was in and scrounging, disturb- ing everyone with my shouted questions. In a fit Of frustration, Mr Carter said, "Here put some of this in your report". And plop! My entire right hand, book, and pen were buried in a pile of saw- dust! Unfortunately, I can't let you have a sample of their labors so I will tell you about it. They make an assortment of items like a six foot by three foot bookshelf, gunrack, keyholder, cassette holder, stool, and many other items. For those people who for- get their wood they can work on a large quilt. Unfortunately, they all have to clean up their own mess! —Michael Disley 0-0-0 THE UPCOMING FILM On the weekend of April 7-11, the pupils of Howick Central are to be seeing another movie. This movie will be a Walt Disney Pro- duction and will be one and one- half hours long. As of yet, we are not sure of the title. These movies are paid for out of the money that - the school makes in Music Nights, Spring Concerts, Christ- mas Concerts and other concerts put on by the pupils. After the pupils see the film, they go back to the classrooms and some write stories about it, while some draw or paint pictures of it. —Tammy Brown 0-0-0 \REPORT CARDS Lately' the pupils - of Howick Central have noticed a lot of tests. There is a good explanation for the tests which is "Report Cards". On March 7th all the pupils will receive their own 2nd tel, report. I hope that your son or 'daughter, or yourself are pleased with their report. Some of the pupils will be well pleased while others will not. For those who are not, let's study a little more and see if we can be pleased the 3rd and final term this year. —Tammy Brown 0-0-0 HEY! THE ROOF'S LEAKING! Yesterday, March the sixth, in the midst of the Room 15 Guid- ance class, Mr. Cober nearly missed being- plummeted on the head by a large wave of water. Luckily, he was warned in time to rush over and place his green plastic pail in a strategic position to stop the oncoming diaster. The hole sprung near one of the rafters in the ceiling of the room. Mr. Cober was thankful to his rescuers because his shirt, hair, and glasses might have been soaked. The vast amount of water accumulated proved to be one- eighth of an inch deep! —Michael Disley 0-0-0 SPORTSATHON These past few weeks we have been practising to get in shape for the coming Sportsathon.

Too often, people who are allergic to the "freezing" needle avoid regular dental treatment due to their fear of reaction from the anesthetic. Just the thought of dental treatment keeps others away.' The neglect eventually takes its toll and the patient may have to undergo extensive restorative treatment or face the complete Toss of teeth. Specially trained dentists have used hypnosis to kill pain. Also in some cases. where the source of a particular allergy was found to be emotional rather than physical, the hypncsis has helped the patients tolerate local anesthetics and dental treat- ment. Some emotionally and physically handicapped people have also benefited in the den- tist's chair through mind relax- ing and suggestions brought about by hypnosis. The patient under hypnosis in the chair is not asleep.

This is what Ontario is doing to maks sure people know it and wear them! In 1973, 2000 people were killed and nearly 100,000 injured in car accidents here in Ontario! Tragic? Sure. But even more tragic when you consider that many of these people could have been saved by one simple action. Buckling a seat belt. Scientific evidence proves that seat belts reduce the chance of death or injury in a car accident by 50%! So your Ontario Government is spon- soring an intensive educational program to persuade drivers and passengers—and children, too—to wear a seat belt even on short drives. • The symbol of this program is the sign shown. It's a reminder to ',:Buckle up ,for safety." You'll be seeing it - often along Ontario streets and highways. It's part of a plan to help protect you, your family, and everyone in the province—to help Ontario residents live better, longer. And to make doubly -sure of it, the govern- ment has prepared interesting, informative booklets, a film, and a special school pro- gram on the importance of wearing a seat belt.
