St patel Students hold real Thanksgiving Students at St. John's School in Waubaushene reaily know' what Thanksgiving is all about. A film, '"The Shopping Bag Lady" prompted a visit to Elm Home, a senior citizen haven in Waubaushene _ several weeks ago by the grade 7 and 8 students. The students asked for the visit themselves but that's not where their idea ended. They next decided upon their own accord that they should hold a Thanksgiving dinner for the elderly folks there! They prepared the total dinner themselves and served it Friday at the school. Afterwards, they sang songs for the 13 ladies who attended the func- tion. Grades four, five and six students also held their own special lun- cheon for their grand- parents with 16 elders attending. It was truly an in- spiring sight to behold, the youngsters freely giving of their time to make their elders feel wanted. If this action had been compelled upon the students by the teachers, it would not have been the same. Yet, all the plans were made by the students because they wanted to. Such unselfishness has to be applauded, especially in these times of generation gaps, prejudice and just plain thoughlessness. Thanksgiving lives at St. John's School in Waubaushene as it does in very few other places, Thanksgiving celebration It was a special day Friday for 13 ladies from Elm Home in Waubaushene when the grade seven and eight students at St. John's School of Waubaushene planned a Thanksgiving dinner in their honor.

Late last year, Statistics Canada forecast the Choral music competition could be worth $7,000 to winning conductor Ontario Arts Council today announced the seventh Leslie Bell Scholarship competition, established by the Leslie Bell Singers Alumnae in 1973 to com- memorate the outstanding contribution to choral music by the late Dr. Leslie Bell.

His concerts at the Canadian National Exhibition, Maple Leaf"Gardens and shows on radio and television made him one of Canada's most popular musical personalities.

The board is talking about the matter, but not within earshot of public or press. The only information gathered at last week's board meeting was that the board resolution requesting the _ in- tervention of the provincial government has been passed to the minister. of education, as well as a copy of the report to the board on the matter from the board's lawyer. Board ~members acknowledged that a working committee agreed with the lawyer's opinion. But Director of Education Irving Harris declined to tell a reporter during question period what the conclusion is that both the board's lawyer and a working committee have agreed on. The board the same evening also voted to inform the teachers' negotiating committees that the board wishes to sever with Hay and Associates. NOTICE T&G Remnant Shop NOW T&G FABRICS Edward F.

Wall said he also feared that several bad years would drive away the present generation of young farmers. Canadians have one of the most inexpensive supplies of quality food in the world. The percentage of disposable income spent on food has declined from 25 percent 30 years ago, to only 14 percent today. "Perhaps now that decline will have to stop and the percentage remain relatively fixed." Wall said. He concluded, far- 'mers either will have to receive better incomes from the marketplace or be protected from inflation by the government. He said the OFA is preparing a detailed set of proposals which will be released later this year. ovens in pioneer homes.
