Every day of our lives we need to remember the birth, cruci- fixion and death of Christ, con- tinued Mrs. Bolt. Two unusual specimens of marine life found at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia and shown by Mrs. Bolt do just that. The Sand Dollar or Holy Ghost shell has the outline of the Easter lily with a five -pointed star rep- resenting the Star of Bethlehem at the centre. On the reverse side one can easily recognize the out- line of the Christmas poinsettia and also the bell. When broken, one sees five little birds called the doves of peace. The "Sea Bis- cuit" shows similar markings.

Elections give insight into political process A number of students in grades 6 and 7 at Turnberry Central School are getting their first taste of public office following some recent elections there. Debbie Hoy, Nancy Henry, Dawna James, Jamie Heffer, Jeff de Boer; Loretta Steckley and Trevor Peel form the executive of the new Club 6-7, and they will be carrying out, on a smaller scale, many of the duties of any elected officials.

The election, which was timed to coincide exactly with the municipal elections was the brainchild of Allan Harrison, a teacher at Turnberry Central as well as a member of the Wingham town council. Mr. Harrison said he was concerned to see many elementary and secondary school pupils totally unfamiliar with the Canadian political process. He came up with the election idea as an interesting way to give the pupils in his homeroom some insight into politics. He patterned the student elections on the municipal ones, with nominations, a candidates' meeting, election campaigns and secret balloting. Unlike the municipal elections, however, there was only one acclamation: Jamie Heffer was unopposed for the treasurer's post. All the students in the homeroom got involved in the election, which tied together a number of aspects of education, Mr. Harrison noted. Besides the obvious lesson in civics the campaigning gave students a chance to practice writing and public speaking while the campaign posters gave them a chance to try their hands at art. lotteries. Chance takes the place of frugality and planning. Dimensions of our discipleship was the subject chosen by Mrs. Lawrence Taylor for Bible study. She said, a Christian disciple is a learner, a follower, one who is committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. There are three dimensions of discipleship: commitment, the continuing nurture of our faith and the ex- pressing of that faith in respon- " sible action.
