GRAHAM: We have studied about dinogaura the Bible. If the world was created in six days, where did the dinosaurs come from? -DM.: DEAR D.M.: The Bible does not mention dinosaurs, but this does not mean the Bible's account of creation is necessarily inaccurate or wrong. Many Bible scholars point? out that the word we translate “day” actually has several meanings in the Bible. In Genesis 2:4, for example, the creation of the heavens and the earth are said to have taken place in a “day.” Clearly the writer is using the word we translate “day” to mean “a period of time” instead of a literal 24-hour day. It may well be, therefore, that the “days” of creations in Genesis were actually longer periods of time. Although such questions are interesting, they should not divert you from the real lessons of the first chapters ‘in Genesis. Those chapters were not written just, to satisfy our scientific curiosity. They have a much more important Baptists hold A 18-18 tie was the outcome of the youth versus adults softball game held at the Calvary Baptist Church picnic at the Birchbank picnic cream prepared by cooks, Mike Sawchenko, John Meson and Ed Barbin. . 8 « Lloyd Oppel who lived in a while di grounds last ev- ening.

If there was dust we would warn people, es- pecially those with heart of lung conditions, to stay in- doors and avoid air condi- tioning systems which pull in air from outside,” he said. Long-term climate re- actions appear minimal as well, according to the federal environment ministry. “The volcanic eruptions have only minimal impact on Canada's long-term weather pattern and climate and in the final analysis the effect may not even be noticed,” Environment Minister John Roberts said in a news re- Boaters lease last week. However, the final as- sessment of. the volcano’s long term effect cannot be made until the volcano has been inactive a few more weeks, Roberts said. It is believed all of the ash spewed into the lower atmosphere will settle within several weeks. But the debris which entered the upper at- mosphere will possibly circle the globe for a few more months, environment mini- stry scientists said. Possible long-term ef- fects include warming of the stratosphere 15 to 20 miles above the earth by a few degrees Celsius or a minor cooling of the earth's surface by several tenths of a degree.

Chart 3050 is produced as a 14 by 20 inch booklet designed for' easy use on small boats and includes in- formation on camp and picnic sites, marinas, route mile- ages and bottom conditions, as well as warnings of navigational hazards, The nautical chart is an essential part of the small craft boaters equipment, for safe navigation. Its useful- ness can best be compared with the topographic map which hikers use to find their way in unfamiliar territory — except that on water there are no direction or distance signs and most of the hazards are hidden from view.

Hundreds of our local students will soon be involved with gradua- tions. Many teachers will re- tire, some will go back to summer schoo] to learn more. Maybe it’s a good oppor- tunity to ask, What have I learned? Or, What is learning and teaching? Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what your children have learned in school this past year? What was being taught? Or better yet — have you ever stopped ,and asked yourself what learning is or what education is? ‘We assume much — and sometimes too much. For ex- ample we assume the church will teach our children and we assume the school will teach our children — but what will the church and schools teach our children? And what will we learn and what will our children learn? Many years ago a friend- ly and helpful lady by the name of Ellen White, who had only three years of forma! education speaking to a meeting of educators said: “Our ideas of education take too narrow and toolow a range. There is need of a broader scope, and a higher power of thinking and doing, to train the youth to be thinkers and not mere re- flectors of other men’s thoughts.” What a challenge that sends through us! Have we been taught to be thinkers and have I learned to be a thinker? As parents, how do you consider your role as a teacher or a thinker? Edu-, cation, learning and teaching is not the sole responsibility of the hired teacher. The basis of education begins in the home with mother and father being the teachers — both in words, consistent example, developing, creat- ing and providing not only the right atmosphere, but also the right attitude to instill concepts of true edu- cation into the minds and lives of their children. WE must never assume or take it for granted that someone else will properly teach and educate our chil- dren if as parents we don't provide a good foundation. I would like to challenge parents, teachers, employ- Recalled ers, and all those involved in teaching — what are you teaching and how are you teaching it? Are those under you being taught to think and reason and develop their God-given abilities to make the right decisions at the right time and in the right way? In your capacity as a teacher are you aiming high Selkirk College returned with his wife Darlene and new baby to present a slide presentation on the work he did last summer at regugee camps in Thailand.

St. Helens erup- tion last month. . Jerry Floeting of Se-- attle, Washington was camp- ing 35 air-miles from the base of the volcano when it er- | upted. With him were his wife, sister and two-year old daughter. : “At first we thought there was a thunderstorm. We didn't know the volcano was erupting,” Floeting said. “We packed everything into the car because we thought it would rain.” i “We were cooking when it started. A lot of people: were still sleeping in their tents,” he added. “The air went really cold then very warm. We didn't know what to think. After all it’s a warm area of the country.” i The eruption occurred at 8:45 a.m. “But it was so black you couldn't see. That’s when the ash started coming.” ‘The Floetings drove al- ong in their car while Jerry's * sister travelled beside them in hers. “It took four-and-one- half hours to go three miles” Floeting said. “All around us people were driving off cliffs. Light- ning bolts were flashing everywhere. The sky turned orange. We thought it was the end of the world.” Visibility was nil,” Floet- ing said. When the ash first started to blanket the car he turned on the windshield sprayers which turned the ash to mud. “We finally had to stop and Wipe the mud off with a rag. After that we just used the wipers to push the dust away.” 7 “My wife took off her blouse to make face masks for my daughters,” he added. The Floetings finally made it to Takima where ‘they stopped at the disaster centre. Although they were told the roads were closed, they decided to make the trip home. € Damage to the Floet- ing’s vehicle was extensive. Mt.

Rain high, sun low A mild, moist flow of Pacific air over the south- eastern Interior resulted in precipitation totals almost twice the average for May. As would be expected under these conditions, sun- shine hours were well below normal. Cloud blankets at night , kept the mean temperatures on the warm side. The lowest temperature recorded during the month was 3.6 degrees on May 11. This is warmest minimum on record for May, breaking the old record of 1.7 degrees set on May 15, 1971.

Last year Castlegar was one of a limited number of communities in the province who were chosen by the pro- vincial government to host such an event. Castlegar, in its initial attempt, combined spectator events with active community participation events and this proved pop- ular both. for the spectator and the participant.
