"Mr. Justynski's Grade 6 students from R.H. Cornish, and Mrs. VandenHoogen's Grade 6 Immaculate Conception students had a "Feed The Hungry" contest. The Catholic School students collected 146 cans of non-perishable food items, while the Cornish kids collected 140. Cornish came out the winner, as their class has a smaller number of students. These two classes have developed a co-op program this year, where they tour each others schools, and play volleyball games etc. Each student this week had a "buddy" from the other class, to learn all about one another.

"Many people think car maintenance is difficult or expen- sive, but it doesn't: have to be," says Curran. Regular preven- tative maintenance can be ac- complished in a short period of time and goes a long way toward increased reliability, better fuel economy, and avoidance of cost- ly repairs." The first step in winterizing the car is a tune up. Normally, a tune- up consists of adjustment or replacement of spark plugs, as re- quired; oil and filter change; air filter change, if necessary; ad- justment of engine timing; in- spection of heat riser value; car- buretor adjustment, if required, PCV valve change, if necessary; tightening of belts; replacement of ignition wires, if necessary. For winter maintenance, also ask the mechanic to check and change or correct anti-freeze solution, inspect water hoses and exhaust system for leaks; and check battery charge and capaci- ty. Also ask the mechanic to clean battery terminals and grease them to guard against corrosion - --amajor inhibitor to engine star- ting, especially in cold weather. If the battery is weak or old, replace it before it lets you down. When the temperature drops, the condition of your battery usually determines if your car starts. A brand-new, fully charged battery at 0 degrees centigrade is only 60 percent efficient; at -18 degrees, 46 percent. Think what happens to a battery which is handicapped by old age or poor condition!
