Why? The whole school was having S.S.R.—short for Sus- tained Silent Reading. It is held once a week and students, teachers and secretaries take a book of their choice and read for about an hour. The Journalism Club took a survey of what some of the students and teachers were reading, with the following re- sults: Mr. Waddell was busy reading “Trinity”, Mrs. Rainier was reading “Above Suspl- cion". Not a sound was heard from Mrs. Hill, who was reading “Hungry Hills". Penny Schrieber decided to read “Earthquake”, while Loreen Tamelin was reading “The Red Pony". Meanwhile, Kathy Osa- choff was reading “The Room”. The most startling news was that Mr. Matthews was reading “Developing Science Concepts in the Laboratory". * 8 4 ‘Now that the snow has all melted and spring is gloriously here, you may have noticed garbage littering your front lawn, It doesn't take long to clean that up, but what about the alleys and streets of Castle- That is what Mr. Sang’s Grade 9 Social Studies class is telling the Kindergarten to Grade 7 school kids. To make Castlegar a truly clean town, alleys, streets and parking lots should be given a good clean- up. % On May 2 and 3, Social Studies students went down to Kinnaird Elementary, .Valley Vista and Woodland Park schools. Besides talking about the evils of litter, they also introduced a poster . contest with the theme “Street and Garden Clean-up”. The contest will be judged by the Grade 9 Social Studies class. The City of Castlegar has donated $20 for the contest. There are two divisions for contest entries: Kindergarten to Grade 3 and Grade 4 to Grade 7. In each group, prizes are $5 for first, $3 for second and $2 for third. Was the trip a success? Mr. Sang said, “The children really enjoyed the students talking to them. Hopefully we can do more of this in the future.” Winners of the poster contest will be announced next week, Classified Ads Can Sweeten Your Shopping The butterfly has such a taste for sweets that it can detect sugar ina solution made up of one part sugar to 300,000 parts water.

This fixation seems to occur more and more fre- quently in the summer than the winter, as I'm sure you have all noticed. * Due to severe cutbacks from the editor, 1 am not at liberty to go into great detail on this controversial sub- ject. However I am able to be more or less discreet in saying that they are ob- viously reverting back to their childhood, when they were all suckling infants. , Have you noticed on the beach how they all strain to see over the masses of children’s heads to watch a volumptuous teeny-bopper fascination strikes the males from age 14 to 94. There are always the men who pat their cringing wives on the shoulder and proclaim that they really stroll. by? This form of : because his wife is. richly endowed, although it doesn't refrain them from peering at other women's bulbous fronts, You are probably won- dering what the point is that I am trying to make. To be perfectly honest I'm not quite sure; but it is rather amusing to watch members . of the male species when they are on the beach, An older gentlemen was escorting his wife along Penticton's sandy beach, and was paying close attention as she pointed. out the various spots of interest when along came a shocking- ly huge bosom. The man's eyes lit up as he watched her strut along. He became so en- grossed in this scene that he tripped in a man-made—or child-made—hole and sprawled pathetically at his irate wife’s feet. He began stammering and stuttering’ to explain + eye, “It’s not the real thing.” became. As a result he a left where he fell and his wife snorted at him dis- dainfully and marched off in a huff. There seems to be no end to the predicamenta a man will get himself into for the sake of a mere peek. There was the case of the wife .who was tired of listening to her husbands obsession and therefore set about making him a huge female frame for Father's Day. After building the ap- paratus she set it under the covers for him. . ‘hen the man came home from work she said his present was in the bedroom and he dashed in to see what it was, There was‘a ruckus in the bedroom and a few minuted later the man came out with a crazed glint in his The wife asked if he liked the present and the husband said in a sulky tone: Optimism An Important Part Of Prolonging Your Future The wheel of good fortune keeps spinning around and around—but whether or not it stops at, your lucky number is largely up to you. As a result of several recent experiments and studies, some leading American scientists and psychologists claim that your attitude toward life, toward others and toward yourself, to a great extent determines how much luck or . bad luck the fortune distributor will shower upon you. It seems that Lady Luck is partial to those people with an optimistic outlook on life. By the same token, it shrinks away from those who ‘ery the blues’ all the time and display an unhealthy and pes- simistic side to their personal- ity. Luck apparently also runs in cycles. For instance, if one is lucky in the gambling casinos or playing the. horses—they may show winnings for a long time, then they are hit with a streak of bad luck and the tables slowly begin to turn. What the experts are dis- covering basically is that chance has very little todo with determining how lucky or un- lucky we are. ° If luck can be labelled as a ‘sixth sense’ or intuition, it's operation can only be successful if your conscious mind is not ‘clogged up with worries and high tensions, These mental states literally ‘paralyze’ intui- tion. On the other side of the coin, when your mind is as clear - as a ringing bell and your out- look is sunny, then this ‘sixth sense’ can function at top-notch efficiency. In other words, if you are certain you won't succeed in any given task or goal, chances are you won't. However, if. you're con- vinced you're going to pass that examination or land that good- paying job tomorrow—you like- ly will do just that. To demonstrate this belief, researchers at Harvard Uni- versity assigned specific jobs to a number of volunteers. They told a portion of the group that the odds were against them that they would not be able to finish the jobs successfully. The other students were ‘informed that they'd have plenty of time to finish. Those with-a negative at- titude definitely had slower’re- flexes and clouded minds, while the other half came through with flying colors. ‘Psychologists also claim that people who complain about. ‘unlucky’ incidents always hap- pening to them—actually bring them on by plain bad luck. These, Men- ninger’ calls ‘purposive acci- dents’, Luck is also linked with plain ‘hard work' and prepara- tion coupled ‘with ‘being at the right place at the right time’. For instance, statistics show that 9.5 million adult American women won over $100 billion in shares of publicly held corporations, They actually outnumber male investors 50 to 49 per cent. Are they lucky? No, the reason they come out of the stock market with more successes is because they - study the market more than their male counterparts, 20 years because of a deal made ~ with the North Yorks Moors National Parks.committee. Fawbert planned to plant three acres of land with po- tatoes but wild daffodils al- ready grew there. The committee will pay him 80 pounds ($54) a year if he lets the Mowers ‘stay. Electric Bikes May Replace Gas Transport An inventor and manu- . facturer of electric bikes and trikes says 10 million of the vehicles may be on American streets in the years ahead as an alternative to gasoline-fuelled transport, Joe O'Neill, who rigged his . first electric motor to a bike when he was 12, holds a patent on an electric power pack that can be installed on any bicycle.’ He's assistant to the president of a New. Jersey firm that markets its own: electric bi- cycles ‘and tricycles, He predicted that within five years, the young electric bike industry will have about 10 percent of the bicycle market as people search for energy- saving methods of close-in transportation. . ° O'Neill is among 100 ex- hibitors at the Electric Vehicle Expo in Chicago, which fea- tures exhibits ranging from a battery-powered ambulance to a city hus, The bicycle rides about 20 miles without needing a re- charge and costs about $295. The power pack alone sells for $160 and weighs 28 pounds. Top speed without pedalling is 15 miles per hour. Pedalling with the unit engaged allows a top speed of 25 miles’ per hour, O'Neill said. “These .aren't a kid's _ thing,” he said. “Actually, it's the middle-aged and the elderly that buy most of our units.” | Everyday goodness.
