Hi there: A Sunday-school teacher asked her young class how Noah spent his time in the ark. When there was no response, she asked, "Do you suppose he did a lot of fishing?"

THE OLD SWITCH-A-ROO Friends of ours are constantly on a diet. While at home they have no problems sticking to it. Becuase THE OLD SWITCH-A-ROO Friends of ours are constantly on a diet. While at home they have no problems sticking to it. Because they are in a position which forces them to eat in restaurants frequently, they found it difficult to be good. When the food was placed in front of them they ate it....all of it. They have now found a great solution. They order two adult dinners and two dinners from the children's menu for their sons, ages nine and ele- ven. After the waitress has left they switch. They are happy with the children's portion and of course the boys consume every morsel on the adult plates. See you next week......Roxanne Reveler Brooklin Bakery drop off Fridays, before noon please 655-4951.

Spokesmen for the teachers say they can- not release details of the tentative settlement un- til after the ratification meetings. Education Director Ken Monroe said the s s s - I - board will hold its ratifi- cation meeting tomor- row when it learns the result of the teachers' meetings. Contentious issues in the negotiations over the past three months have been salary, staff- ing and benefit arrange- ments. Like secondary school teachers, the element- ary teachers' nego- tiations were stalled by the Ontario govern- ment's restraint legisla- tion. Secondary school teachers are still negotiating their 1982-83 contracts. Last week, a mediator was appointed to help resolve the con- tract dispute. At press time, the secondary school teach- ers had not reached a contract agreement.

Lumber) Nature walk November may be too late for fall colours but there is still plenty to see in the conservation areas. Winterbirds, such as Hair Woodpeck- ers, Northern Shrikes and.a variety of finches are arriving daily in this region. In fact, many of these birds are actually more numerous in November than in the dead of win- ter. Resident wildlife, such as squirrels and chipmunks, are now preparing for the cold weatier by accumulat- ing food supplies. -Local trees have already shut down their food produc- tion and are becoming dormant. On Sunday, Nov. 28 at 1 p.m., there will be a walk at Heber Down Conservation Area to observe the finer points of nature in autumn. This outing is hosted by the Central Lake Ont- ario Conservation Authority, and an Auth- ority naturalist will be on hand to point out items of interest. Participants may wish to bring along bino- culars. Please dress warmly and meet at the Heber Down Conserva- tion Area parking lot (off Lyndebrook Road, Whitby). Everyone is welcorne to attend. For further information, please contact the Authority at 579-0411.
