"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, March 10, 1992 - 13 The Canadian Food Grain Bank is waiting word from its partner churches overseas on when the organization can send food grain supplies to third world nations. In the past six years 15 area churches have worked together during the month of March bag- ging corn to be shipped to Third World nations. In total, 31,000 bags of corn, each weighing 110 pounds, have been sent to the developing na- tions as a result of local volun- teer efforts. These efforts have been com- bined with similar ones nation- wide.

Six calcium clubbers are having the time of our lives. We're studying 'milk makes it better." On Wednesday we made a vegetable pizza. It was great! The people who added some extra fun in their lives are Michelle Stanton, Amy and Victoria Campbell, Rhon- da Prohaska, Monique Balmforth and Holly Beattie. We join every Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. We all have our own respon- sibilities to carry out like president Amy Campbell, vice-president Vic- toria Campbell, treasurer Monique Balmforth and press girl Holly Beattie. Feb. 29, 1992 Hi! I'm back from the Calcium Club - remember. Michelle Stanton, Amiee and Victoria Campbell, Rhonda Prohaska, Monique Balmforth and me, Holly Beattie. On Wednesday, Feb. 26 we made creamy pasta with milk and we learned what calcium does for your bones and how much calcium you need. For instance a 10-12 year old needs 1100 mg.

"We are not planning a bag- ging operation at this time as it is and always has been the poli- cy of the CFGB to only supply food grain when it is requested by our partner churches over: seas," said Don Asling, secre- tary of the Uxbridge unit of CFGB. "We do not know when or if we will be bagging corn later on as the new executive for the CFGB have set up mills in the Chat- ham area to receive corn for storage to be shipped when re- quested." Mr. Asling said the CFGB ex- pects the request for corn will likely be in the late summer or early fall. ou Cawker Science Fair winners After six weeks of school and home studies, S. A.
