`Lungs are
for Life'
program
for schools
The Lung Association, Huron -Perth
Counties, is mounting a special appeal
beginning May 15 to meet the request for
classroom presentations of the Lungs Al -e
For Life School Program.
"This is an excellent program and it has
been enthusiastically received by school
boards and teachers," says Betty Hunter,
Executive Director.
The School Program is designed to
maintain the interest of all ages.
Youngsters from kindergarten to Grade 3
enjoys the movie, '"Octopuff In Kumquat"
where a very bad octopus ("Octopuff")
tries to get the people in the town to smoke.
The children learn how lungs function and
have a better understanding of why it is
important to maintain healthy lungs.
Format and depth of information, vary
as each program has been caefuly
tailored to age groups. At the intermediate
and senior levels, "peer pressure" is
discussed. Program leaders are still con-
cerned about the number of teenage
smokers, but are encouraged by more and
more young people expressing their desire
to quit, and a growing number of non-
smokers. At the senior level the CO-
monitor
Omonitor and other machines which
monitor the effects of smoking on the body
such as heart rate, skin temperature in the
fingertips, and hand steadiness, make an
impact on their thinking and commitment
to stop smoking.
"Your generous donation is vital," says
Hunter. "There are still too many
classrooms we have not visited. We must
reach the hundreds of children in these
classrooms if we are to prevent the ravage
of lung disease in the' years to come."
BROADCAST

group has begun a unit on measurement.
Survey
For our junior question this week, we ask-
ed "How much money do you think is a lot
and what is one thing you would do with it?"
In Mrs. Worsell's. grade 5 class, David.
DeBoer thinks $50 is a lot of money and he
says he would put it in the bank. Jenny
Brown thinks $1,000,000 is a lot and she
would buy a house.
In grade 2, Taylor Park likes the idea of
$1,000 and he would put it in the bank. San-
dra Alton thinks a lot is $1,000,000 and who
knows what she would do with it. In
us s Le
Kindergarten, Lee Cranston wouls like to
have $100 and he would buy Transformers.
Jessie Cook thinks $1,000 is a lot and she
would buy "My Little Ponies".
For the senior survey this week, we had
tow questions, one just for the grade 8's and
one for the grade 6-7.
The grade 6-7 question was "Who is your
favourite author and why?"
In grade 6, Christi Kerr's favourite author
is Kate William because the books are
realistically written. Danielle McClinchey's
favourite author is Anne M. Martin because
the books seem almost real and are
exciting.
For the grade 7's,. Joel Wright's favourite
author is Ferrol Sams because his stories
are eary to identify with. Rhonda Duckson's
favourite author is Emily Chase because
she likes romance novels.
The grade eight survey was different: The
question was "Are you looking forward to
high school?"
Thirty students said°'yes' while three said
'no'.
Grade 3, Room 4
In room 4 there are 243 books in our
bookworm. Mike Puddy is our "introducing
' person" this week. In our classroom we
have a salamander. We give him water and
liver. We have many bugs and plants in the
tank with him. He is "nocturnal". That
means he comes out at night. Before sum-
mer we will let him go in the woods. Ken
brought him in last fall. We also have a lit-
ter experiment. We have planted gum,
orange and banana peel, plastic bag, paper
and popcorn to seewhat happens to litter on
the ground.
