Angela Zufelt Miss Gibson's grade one and two class went to the sugar bush on Wed., Apr. 1. They were pretty lucky to have nice weather. The kids really enjoyed it. They went to the sugar shack where they boiled the syrup. They also got to collect the sap and see how it tastes. Then they sat around the fire and learned how the Indians boiled sap. They learned that it takes 40 litres of sap for one litre of syrup. Maybe that's why syrup costs $40.00. Robyn Dubeau Mrs. Silver's class is talking talking about their trip to Ganaraska.

They will be doing Easter Art, stories, baskets and much more. This is a story written by Pam Dus- tan. It is called Chickens on Strike! Chickens all over the world have gone on strike just before Easter! The btinny said, "what am I going to do, all the chickens are on strike and there won't be any eggs for me to deliver." Then the bunny saw a bunch of chickens marching down the street, and they were carrying signs, and one said: More pay or no lay!!! and another one said: Chickens on Strike!!! Then the bunny said to the chickens, "Stop Marching". But they didn't stop so the bunny yelled "Stop" but they kept on marching. So he went to the front of the line and told them to stop but they just walked right over him. So he yelled as loud as he could "Stop Marching". So they stopped. The bunny said, why are you going on strike? They said "because the farmer does not feed us enough food." So the bunny told the farmer to feed the silly chickens before they went on strike. So the farmer fed them enough food until they were as fat as a pillow. The chickens layed the eggs and the bunny decorated them and the silly chickens never went on strike again.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We deliver locally to: Orono, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Kirby, Kendal, Pontypool, Newcastle, Newtonville, and Port Hope, or World Wide with FTD® THE APPLE BLOSSOM SHOP Main St„ Orono 983-5291 or alter hours 983-9656 Store Hours: Mon. to Sat. 9 • 6 p.m. Thurs. and Frl. 9 - 9 p.m. Closed Good Friday ttlVvikxeti triKkwvMh FT0A. Dear Mr. Editor: This letter is about the problem concerning Ontario St. School and Central Public School. The problem is the overcrowding at Ontario St. School because of the number of students brought to Ontario St. School by bus from out of town for French Immersion Classes and with Central School there are not enough students. There have been proposals made by the Board of Education to have English and French Immersion at both Ontario and Central Schools, or to make one school all English and one school all French. I have two sons attending English classes at Ontario St. where they also have French Immersion classes. There have been meetings with members of the Board of Education and the parents of the English and French have had meetings on their own. The English parents of Ontario St. students have no objections to the way Ontario St. School is now with both English and French, but lately we have been told by a person who attended the French parents meeting, that they would like to see an all French school, and they are going to make this proposal to the Board of Education. This is a little too much to just sit back and not say anything. If the Board of Education should decide to make Ontario St. an all French school, my kids and other English students will have to walk to Central School of if they should decide to make Central an all French school the English students wil have to walk to Ontario St. for English classes. Sure we are a bilingual country but we don't need French shoved down our throats like this, especially when both these schools are situated in an English speaking community and both of these schools have been English for many years, and the French has only been at Ontario St. for twelve years. Like I said before, I don't mind the English and French Immersion classes together at Ontario St. the way it is now, but if they want an all French school and disrupt the lives of my children and the other English children of Ontario St. and Central School then they can damn well move to Quebec!
