As it Happens at Winlaw School

Parent

Winlaw Elementary

: If you didn’t have children

or religion, the holidays could
slip by unnoticed.
._2, Not at school, however.
Each holiday offers new themes
and motifs decorating the basic
lessons. The primary grades do
their geography by discussing
Easter in other lands; research,
Easter reports, sharing their
discoveries by mime.

: On the last day, there was
an Easter parade a la New York
City, singing “In Your Easter
Bonnet". They displayed bi-
zafre artistic creations on their

heids, prizes for the best hats, _

* Older ones read aloud an
.egg mystery in the haunted
hopse using similies. Younger
‘ones did Peter Rabbit songs
and finger plays. The Great
Easter Sharing Period cul-
minated with an 8g hunt in the
bubh.

: Twonew playground pieces

have sprouted in the school-

yard, an octopus and a double
slide.

.

+ Now the Baas will pick up
right in the schoolyard, so the
children need not pile up out by
the back road and RR tracks.

When students journeyed
to Crescent Valley for the Mime
Theatre last week, they found
that one of the bus drivers had
decorated his bus with flowers
and he plays their favorite
music through a stereo. They
clapped and sang along, for-
getting the usual bus games of
hair-pulling and seat shuffling.

Yes, if music can induce
cows to give more
children to sit still in the bus,
then viva la musique! Another
field trip chartered for May
features the Coad Puppets
doing “Oh Mother, a Pirate".

‘The older students embark
on three interesting plans: One,
a target date project — they've
written across Canada for a
copy of various newspapers of
the same date. Then they .
compare and analyse these
papers. What format did they
use? Who emphasized what?
Which issues are most impor-
tant in what locale?

The staff is planning a

performance will demonstrate

neighborhood band — the inter-
play of their hopes, fears,
ambitions, doubts and goof-ups,
featuring ‘a glorification of
“Chicken Soup with Rice".

We'll have dramatics, ani-

suitable morals. All fun, in good
direction. We'll finally have
occasion to.see their talents in

Slocan Pioneer Speaks
About Area's W.I. ‘Roots’

The second meeting of the
Slocan Women's Institute held
during April marked the 50th

by selling Amway products to
friends and neighbors.
A letter will be sent to the

ry of its on
April 29, 1929.

Mrs. Estrid Storgaard, who
joined the institute in October
1929, was given a corsage and
asked to cut the anniversary
cake. Mrs. Storgaard comment-
ed about the original organizing
of a W.I. in Slocan and said that
she has enjoyed the meetings
over the years and {is 100 per
cent in favor of women's in-

. stitutes,

Guests for the occasion
included.members from Fruit-
vale, New Denver and Kinnaird
Women’s Inatitutes,

The entertainment portion
of the meeting included a’ skit

* by Mrs, N. Bixler and Mrs. C.

Barclay, which poked fun at
some of the members; and a
fashion show, organized by
Mrs. M. Gustufson, in which
members modelled fashions
from the 20s on up to the 70s.
Mrs, Gustufson also set up
displays of newspaper clippings

During the business part of
the meeting, members decided
to send $100 to the children's

the Japanese dishes that are
stored in the W.I. Hall; and to

Voice of the People

Editor, Canlogar News:

People’ in the Rossland:
‘Trail riding were extremely
disappointed that “Bloodbath”
Jim Kinnaird, president of the
B.C. Federation of Labor, de-
clined to accept the challenge
hurled at him by Bill Bennett
recently,

We feel sure that it- was
Bill Bennett's intention to ex-
plain and defend Bill 46, which
was enacted to get the schools

children the fundamental rights
to’ an education: which the
unfons and the school boards
were denying thom.

It was probably the pre-
mier’s intention to bring a copy
of Bill 46 with’him to the debate

to show to Mr. Kinnaird who, +

judging from what he had been

saying athis numerous “rallies,” ’

has never seen one.

While watching these
sometimes embarrassing per-
formances, (which we discreet-
ly switched off if the kids were
around) we never saw Mr.
Kinnaird ever produce a copy of
Bill 46, ever read a line from it,
or give any indication that he
was at all familiar with the
legislation his rallies were

"called to condemn,

‘The proposed debate would
thus have provided Mr. Kin-
naird with-an opportunity to
explain in the presence’ of Mr.
Bennett and the viewing public
just how Bill 46 takes away the
right of collective bargaining.
We. know, of course, that
Kinnaird . and. “Billingsgate"
Munro told their audiences that
Bill 46 did this and they never,

Mrs.
N. Bixler will help at the baby
clinic in May. Mrs. C. Barclay
will attend a meeting with the
Lion's Club about organizing
activities for B.C. Days in
August.

It was decided the W.I.
annual supper will be held on
June 16 at the home of Mrs, V.
Lister.

Agricultural convener Mrs.
D. Anderson,’ sold plants to
members and gave. out infor-
mation ing them. Pro-

was told them.

what

The unorganized public,
however, were not so lucky as
the union audiences and had no
opportunity to hear these dis-
tinguished and urbane defen-
ders of the downtrodden at
these rallies and thus had no
chance to profit from the great
fund of knowledge in which the
organized were: privileged to
share.

ir. Barrett, who was also

challenged to appear, and Join
Mr. Kinnaird in debate,” also
declined to take part. This is
quite underatandable at the
present time, since Mr. Barrett,
basking in the smiles of certain
American governors, senators
and congressmen (for whom he
has always had a high regard)
and before whom he had ‘re-
cently delivered an address on
the adviseability of extending
our railway system into regions
where it would come under the
control of the Americans, has
probably had his mind some-
what distracted from the mun-
dane provincial affairs he is

“paid to look after.

In this state of mind, it is
likely that the former leader of
james

«the NDP Party would feel that

he could not be expected to
take part in such a confronta-
tion until he could fee! his fect
once again firmly on the
ground.

This was an unfortunate
turn of events for the Rossland-
Trail and Nelson-Creston rid-
ings because, had he done 80,
we should all have heard Mr.
Barrett expand upon his inten:
tion to repeal the Essential

* Services Act of which Bill 46 fs

an extention, if he is returned
to power.

This would have heen
heard with dismay by the
parents and school children of
the West Kootenay who would
envision the threat of struck

schools again and all the ‘un
pleasant features of - another
municipal strike. ©”

We in the West Kootenay
feel that Mr. Kinnaird-and Mr.

Barrett, by dectining to accept

the challenge of Bill Bennett to
the proposed debate, have

thrown away a great onDye. g

tunity that was offered them, in

which each could have renewed. ;
his threats and intentions; the *:

former, his promise of a “Blood:
bath” and the latter, his inten-
tion to plunge our area once

again into the chaos and dis-
order that Phil Brooks and Bill

Way to Losing Pounds

_ Ifyou're thinking of fasting
to get rid of extra ‘pounds—
think again. Experts say the fat
comes right back. -

‘A study recently conduct
ed in Los Angeles put 207
-patients .with an “average

“i weight of: 330 pounds in hospital

to fast. They skipped food for
two months and lost an‘average
of 65 pounds. Patients sticking
with the fasting longer than
two months lost an average of
-99 pounds.

i The fasters kept: down to
their reduced weight for 12 to
18 months before starting to

of the group had returned
their: original weight and

after seven years, only seven
patients were stil] at their
reduced weight.

Once again, scientists have
proven—obsse people can easily
lose weight by fasting, but once
the fasting ends the poynds
come right back.
