message on his short-wave radio
He a'sked me to come overto his
house and see what I could' make of
it. I ardrived and sat down near
' him. The 'distress was if) the

Snapping it on .we zeroed in on
the frequency. It was coming frord
the South West. •
He said, -Something has to be
done!''
I replied. And we are going to
do it!"
We stepped out of his cottage
and felt the breeze freshening to a

Grade 8.
It was a quarter to seven, June
9, of this year. Many of my
classmates and I were sitting,
standing, talking and laughing
while waitinglor the
1'4
e sights of Toronto
- later we were on our way .to
Toronto. We sang.on the way' and I
think we yelled a bit, but just a bit.
When vtrye arrived at the Royal
Ontavto Museup the first thought
that came into our heads was to.
eat. so we each bought a candy'
-apple or some popcorn and ate,
At _keveit o'clock our When we ,were led into the
, chauffered, turquoige limousine Museum we were taken down a
'(bus) pulled up. Five niinutes corridor into. a rather large
theatre. There one of the Museum
directors showed us slides of the
highlight's of the Museum. We
were appointed a guide who was -to
lead us through the building.
.The first section we were Led
into was the Paleontology section.
The exhibits ranged 4tOrp

concerned
BY WILMA °ICE
The Hthron-Perth Separate
school board expressed concern
about the safety of school buses at
'their meeting 'Monday.
They tossed three motions
asking the provincial Ministry. of
Education .and the Ministry of
Transportation
and
Communications to look intothe
matter.
The board asked for tinifor'm
safety standards across ,the
province for,,school buses, that
there be mandatory Uniform
safety standards and basic qesign
criteria for, all manufactures of
schoial buses, -and thatthere bel
high-backed seats on all buses and
redesigned front and rear
bumpers to prevent under -riding
or over-riding if there is a
collision .with another Vehicl.

minerals. There were replicas of
the largest diamond but the rest
were acttial stones,.
The next section included many
Indian artifacts. Included in this
exhibit was a fifty -foot tall Totem -
Pole and many Indian handicrafts.
There i.fere'rnany other
sections of the Museum, but
'through lack of time we were
unable tosee them.
All thegroups wetesent back to
the buses to eat lunch. After lunch
we were herded to the McLaughlin
Planetarium which is a section of
the Museum -that was donated by
Sam McLaughlin, who was one of
the originators of the McLaughlin
Buick and a inalor stock holder In
General Motois of Canada. 4
Inside was a replica of our
Solar Syslem. There were
bubbles displayed about on the
second floor, showing 'certain
sights which could be seen
through a telescope.
We were taken up ,a flight of
stairs to the main feature of the
McLaughlin Planetarium, the
circular Star Theatre containing
three hundred and sixty ,p,,ne •
special reclining seats. High
above the audience is the
immense dom.e. The inner
surface of the dotnG is seventy
fivefeet in diameter: and is like a
huge movie screen.. On it were
projected all the wonders of the
universe: Allthese attractions Of
the night sky are created with
projectors. Mostof the
projectors (approx. 150 of them)
are in the Zeiss Planetarium
•Instrument which stands like a
robot in the centre .of the theatre.
Other projectors are located in
the-lroove running around. the
base" of the dome, With suck ,
equipment, the star filled sky .can .
be shown as it appears from any
place on earth and from out in
space, for any time in the past,
pre'sent or future.
Qn our journey to our last stop,
we travelled around the
Parliament Buildings. When we
finally arrived at the City Hall the
same thought Came to our minds,
LETS EATI,. Which we did most
,heartily. After we had filled
ourselves we went over to see the
policemen on horseback. From
there we went up all twenty-eight .
floors to the top of City Hall in the Si
observation deck. We came down
in the elevator, grabbed
something to drink and mounted
our trusty bus.
There were many half-hearted
attempts to sing and a lot of talk of
how much fun it was going to
Toronto and finally the last things
I wanted to hear, somebody from
the back yelled "Want 'a peanut
, butter .sandwich?"
..,•
Upon arrival in Goderich
, everyone managed to drag
themselves o.ut of the bus and
delioslt,their garbage.
I thinkit was a fun trip and well
worth going on.

Lake Huron
If you are planning on diving in
the Great Lakes, the Lake Survey

Ca_riiine..rce Department's
'National Oceanic and

SCUBA divers will find that
charts are invaluable. They will
aid in safe navigation to selected
areas and then.they may be used to
mark the locations of spots that -
may be easily relocated on future
expeditions. A Catalog showing all
Lake Survey Center charts and a

available free on request to Lake
Survey Center, 630 Federal Bldg.
and U.S. Courthouse, DetrOit,

The precise locations of only
those wrecks considered to be
hazards to lnavigation are shown
