She has worked for three princi- pals since becoming secretary. Mr. Beattie hired her in 1972, just before he retired. Mr. Mann was here until 1985, and now she works for Mr. Robertson. The biggest change she has seen over the years is the initiation of the full service schpol in September of 1986. In 1973 the Ca'olden Circle School for the trainable mentally retarded moved into two rooms of Wingham Public. This means Mrs. Nicholson works for one school, one principal and two vice -principals. The thing she enjoys most about her job is the children, watching them grow and progress through school. She always has a helpful smile and works hard to help the children and teachers. We hope she will stay with us for a long time to come. —Amy Currie The Hallowe'en as4Ft , Ws a'fA huge success.

RECYCLING Have you ever wondered what happens to your pop can or soup tin once it is thrown in the garbage? Have you ever wondered where it would go, what it would become? It used to be that it would be taken to a landfill site, commonly known as the dump, where it would be put into a big hole with all the other garbage, covered with dirt, and there it would stay practi- cally forever. Nowadays, if that same pop can or soup tin is put in your blue box and set out at the curb, it will be collected and sent away to be recy- cled. That means it will be turned into another soup tin, pop can, or another useful product. The Blue Box program has been introduced to help solve the prob- lem of too much garbage. Some garbage, including pop cans, plastic pop bottles and food tins are not biodegradable, which means they will not naturally decompose. Therefore, when buried in a landfill site, they will still be there years from now, cluttering up the sites. The more non-biOdegradable garbage that is sent to the dumps, the faster they will fill up, which means more landfill sites have to be found. Paper is another item which is being recycled. The amount of trees that are being cut down in order to make paper, that eventually gets thrown out, is phenomenal. Hope- fully, recycling will help cut down on the number of trees that are being ldlled. Many municipalities have stip- ported the Blue Box, onipaigns, where each household ht the area receives a "BLUE BOX' in which all cans, plastic pop bottles and glass jars can be put in. These boxes are then collected, sorted and the items are put thmugh the recycling Pr*eits., • 9otiOolir tutve been very 9u . ive;gitUuta " Oftia the &per whilT the: oth ' , 0 cited, end they ji n, edontOthe1 This system has its flaws, howev- er. A productive systetn has not been set up for apartment build- ings, which leaves a large amount of recyclable garbage still going to the dumps. There are also a lot of people with the "I can't be both- ered", or "my little bit won't hurt" attitude. A "little bit" from every- one soon adds up. If your community has a Blue Box program, please support it. It will make a cleaner, happier envi- ronment for the future generations. Mary Feldskov Howick Central School The wind was blowing hard against the U.S. military base, but, Dr. Rays and his assistant were working on a top secret for the U.S. army. Both were puzzled when they tested a gross yellow mucus that ate every metal that was laid in front of it, plus, it grew tO almost twice its size. All of a sudden there was a rumble under their feet. The glass containing the yellow mucus crashed to the floor, it attacked any- thing in its path. Miss Flecher's eyes were bulging out, all you could see was two little dots of fear surrounded by white. Dr. Rays grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the science lab. Miss Flecher was almost out of her mind as she ran to pull the emergency leaver and then the evacuation but- ton on the wall. Immediately scien- tists began to evacuate, animals, chemicals and valuable machinery. Security came rushing to die lab which rang for security. General Barker wasshocked to see what had happened immediately he rushed outside to make sure that all of the necessary eqUipitent was out. By the time the slimili_41 gotten through the door, It watithesize of a giant.

A young lab technician sug- gestedthat they �uld uc the fot. muIa ofa new metal tliat he andiis paxtner had • i; • volunteer. A brave soldier stood up and volunteered to risk his life. There was' already a few boxes made by the metal. A few hours later the soldier with other members of the army came back. The metal had been a success- ful experiment. A lab was set up while the other Military base was under serious construction. Also a pool was made to put the metal boxes with the gaup into it. Still another fascinating discovery would probably be made to control - the substance. But that's another chapter. Lisa Shipmen Howick Central School SCIENCE FICTION STORY April sank into a chair, thankful for a few minutes of rest. It had been an uneventful summer, unless you call slugging hay bales event- ful. April was glad that the haying season was almost over, so she could spend her summer running around town just like any other normal 15 -year-old. After lunch, April's father got a phone call from the bank. It seems that there was a little trouble with his mortgage, and he and April's Morn had to go into town to have a meeting with the bank Manager.

Intense heat swept over her. She tried to get up, but a strange force held her down. As suddenly as it started, every- thing stopped. April moved her arm away from her face. Every- thing was fuzzy as her eyes began to focus. She could see something Ahead of her, but she couldn't make it out. April screamed at what she saw. Before her was the largest "thing" that she had ever seen. "This must be a dream," April said to herself. "To prove it, I'll pinch myself. OW! I must be dreaming! Everyone knows that there is no such things as UFOs." "Greetings, earthling," came a voice, startling. April. "1 am Ziamaphram, Leader of the "INkLINCS FOR ' PEACE ON MARS". Land my crew, are here on a peaceful journey to acquire sup- plies needed to keep my planet alive." "Wh-what will you need?" April asked the creature, sturnioling. "Everything, I'm afraid," the creature said. "It is essential for our planet to live, for on our planet, we have not the death and destruction of your civilization, We are far superior beings. We will go to any lengths to keep the citizens of Mars alive." April was cOnfused, scared, and viibIy upset.
