T.W. Sforch The days are getting noticeably longer which means that Spring is not too far away. Spring is a time that my thoughts start to focus on next year. Pre-registration of this years grade nines in CCHS, Milo and Champion will be coming up. As it has been done in previous years, parents will be very much informed and involved in the process. No dates have been set as of yet, but marks from the midterm are very much in evidence from the last report card. 1 have found that the grade nine marks are a very accurate predictor of sucess in high school. Students will have programs recommended to them based on their mid-term marks. This will be done prior to the April report cards, so that students have the opportunity to improve their marks in time for the next reporting period. Hopefully students will make every effort in the last half of the year so that their marks going into high shcool are as good as possible. I was pleased to see the number of names on both Jr. and Sr. High Honor Roles. As parents you have every right to be proud of your students accomplishments and so are we as the staff of CCHS. The second semester is now underway. I hope the results of the first semester returned to the students are in keeping with the amount of work and effort that they put into their courses. The claims that oats bring vibrant health Have me puzzled plenty, For horses eat them all their lives And they are old at tv/enty. A Love Poem He wanted to be a farmer to take his father’s place. And when the time was right We packed our bags, left the lights of the city behind and headed for his dream. But i didn’t promise forever. “Five years," l said. “Just five year's. if I don’t like it, then we’ll leave." He smiled at me, and a deal was made. The years flew by in a flurry of changes. And on the fifth year we sat on the deck. / could see the old red barn and the calves. I could smell the wet hay and dirt still damp from the snow. “We’d better stay 'til the kids are grown. How could l make them leave the cats and the old dog, the hayloft and the treehouse? Or the dirt road out back so perfect for biking?" But when they grew up and left here, then we’d move into town. He smiled at me and a deal was made. The years flew by In a flurry of changes. And one, then the other packed their bags And headed for the city lights left behind so long ago. So one spring morning we went into town. And / found the perfect house It was even blue. We decided to go home and sleep on it. In the morning, l phoned Sears and ordered a carpet for the deck. Then t looked out the window and saw him coming up the walk with a fuzzy brown pup wiggling in his arms. He smiled at me and a deal was made. Linda Proctor Letter To The Editor This request is to all those who have parked their vehicles for the day or the greater portion there of, in front of the businesses on main street Milo during business hours. Please have some consideration for the seniors in the community, who have to pack groceries, mail or get to appointments on the icy streets much further than need be because they cannot park any closer. There is plenty of parking space in other places on main street. Please think of this next time before you park.

IN THE MILO COMMUNITY HALL I: FORMERLY OF MILO PIONEER AGENTSeed Cleaning Plant Completed and Operating I ay, February 2, Blahne Sukut of Milo, hauled a truck load of wheat to the New Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant In Milo, to be the first wheat cleaned in the new plant. Some of those who were in attendance were plant manager - Ed Posien, president of plant - Ian Godkin, head of the building committee - Keith Godkin and building committee member - James Will. Blahne had helping him that day his son, Matthew, who enjoyed being with his dad when the first load was dumped into the holding area. A few other Interested farmers dropped in to see how everything was going. Due to some small problems the wheat was not able to be cleaned that day. Afer a few days most of the bugs were out of the equipment and the cleaning was underway. The plant Is now almost completely finished except for a little cement work to be done on the driveway extension pads and some painting. This will be done in the spring when the weather warms up. The cleaning capacity of the plant has Increased from 250 busheHs per hour in the old plant to approximately 400 bushetls per hour in the new one. This is approximately 2500 to 3000 bushells per day. If you get a chance drop in and take a tour of the plant. Hopefully there will be someone who will be available to show you around. You will be very Impressed on how large and open the building is. For those of us wno never have seen how our grain is cleaned, this will be very interesting to see. Watch for the grand opening sometime In June.

We have set up an adult - children reading program with the Grade 1/2 class and adults of the community. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 2:50 - 3:20 p.m. an adult comes in and reads a story to the children, usually referring to a subject, a theme, or a holiday that is coming up. This shows the students that reading is a life-long skill, and not just done because you are a teacher or a student in school. Our very first participant in this program was Ruth Hermann. She.was a very enthusiastic volunteer and instantly loved by the children. For all of her efforts, we want to recognize her as our Volunteer of the Month. If there is anyone interested in participating in this program, please call Joanne Monner at the school (599-3817) or at home (599- 3771). We welcome all volunteers. We are also interested in starting a program with the Jr. High students incorporating math skills with everyday life skills. We are looking for volunteers who would come in and play games that require math skills, such as Crib, Bridge, Backgammon, Yahtzee, etc. (not Poker). Anyone interested in this, please contact the school.CONGRATULATIONS to Robbie Thomson who recently retired from his engineering job with the Federal Government.

As only a few people do this it was decided that our present policy wasn't fair. The result is now you have to pay about $50.00 for the first half hour or less and goes up from there.This also applys to 'having the snow plowed off of your driveway. However, if there is some type of emergency such as needing an ambulance or fire truck come in there is NO charge. You still need an entry agreement signed except for an emergency. Also, our lawyers now tell us we need an entry agreement for the school bus to come onto your property to pick up students. For those of you who are in this category I will be around for your signature. I think the world would stop if the lawyers ever went on strike. A good many of our farmers have taken the pesticide training course that the Ag. Dep't. is running- In this course safety is a big thing. So if you hav en' t taken it yet I believe there is another one in March. If you can't go yourself you might send the little woman on your farm as the information is very useful to the farm woman as well. One of the things that is stressed is the wearing of a hard hat instead of the ever present cloth, cap. A monogramed hard hat for Mother's Day might be something to get for your farming partner. The School Board retfeat recently held was a fairly stressful 2 days. Some of: the cost-cutting ideas did not go over very well. I can't comment on any results yet as some of the better ideas are being looked at to see if there really would be a saving if they were, implemented. Our board is hoping for better results with the new Educational Minister. But I feel the real power in this department is with the Deputy Minister and a few other top officials. Until they change things may stay the same. There has been some comments about having a Principal in every school. In almost every situation where there is more than one person working, someone has to be the boss. This is necessary in our schools too. Someone has to make the decisions ‘ and also be responsible for them. This carries some risk and consequently people in these positions are paid more. About $10,000.00 worth of property was stolen from our schools recently. Some was recovered in Shaunesy, near Lethbridge. The School Board has offered a $1,000.00 reward for information leading to an arrest. The R.C.M.P. believe stolen goods from' this area are being shipped to Vancouver.

All students have had an opportunity to go skiing this year and Red Cross Swimming Lessons are planned for the spring. Both of these programs are co-curricular and are part of the Health and Physical Education curriculum. Programs such as these also contribute to life-long learning skills. Students are able to practice ordering from a menu, counting money,following directions, and learning to cope in a social situation, as well as having expert instruction. Although the swimming program could be a life-saver, the ski program gives students the exposure to a healthy leisure time activity that if encouraged may become an interest in later years. Activities of this nature also tend to increase student-staff rapport, which can be built on back in the classroom. We are fortunate in Milo to have an active Parent/Teacher group that, along with the Native Education Project, provides a portion of the necessary funding to support these worthwhile programs.

Coming Soon !THE GANG by J. Tom Bateman Peewee and Squish, together with Chicken, Pudgy and Horse were the central figures in "the Gang". This was a tough outfit that controlled the school yard in 1949.Well, they didn't control the entire school yard, but they did control that part of it where nobody objected to their being in control. Come to think of it, that was a very small part of the school yard. The Gang members were in grade 5 and they were inseparable. Often one of them was being shunned by the others for having violated one of the Gang rules, like talking to a girl, or getting good marks On a test. Our Gang was not tolerant of any of this non-macho, sissy nonsense. Our gang was not encumbered by any written rules. It was the responsibility of individual members to attempt to abide by _ the wishes of the most persuasive member. There^were no memberships, nor were there any guidelines. If Peewee and Squish liked a person, they were in. If not they were out. Sometimes Peewee and Squish exercised their influence by chasing reluctant members into the Gang, or out of the Gang. It all depended on their frame of mind, and whether they were having a good day. Peewee and Squish provided us with a demonstration of teamwork. Together they . could lick any single member and they established^themselves as the dominant duo. They were the unelected president and CEO who exercised their prerogatives as far as the Gang was concerned. The standards were very flexible and any individual member may be on the "outs" as declared by the dominant pair, it was tough being a Gang member, and it was impossible not to be a member. Peewee and Squish controlled everything, and it was our responsibility to anticipate their every wish. The only way to avoid the wrath of the entire Gang was to anticipate accurately. Each of us had our turn at being ostracicized. The shunning lasted as long as Peewee or Squish remained disenchanted. Sometimes the length of a recess and occasionally for an entire day. The best shunning in my memory occurred when Peewee and Squish got into a fight. They each used their most special persuasive techniques on all the - other gang members to get them on their side. Squish was more persuasive than Peewee and he got us all by providing a bottle of Coke and half a chocolate bar, to everyone who came to his side. The next d day Peewee offered a Coke and a whole chocolate bar, so the entire gang switched their allegiance. The battle raged on. Peewee said things about Squish's parents. Squish responded by offering large ice cream cones to everybody, and all of us naturally switched sides again. The tension grew and all gang members followed the two leaders more closely than we ever had before, so we wouldn't miss any of the benefits. Peewee couldn't afford to persuade all the members to his side, so he changed his tactics. The only solution to this problem must be a permanent solution. A fight. Not just a fight like happened every day in the school yard, but a fi fight to the death. Peewee really impressed us with his eloquence. "I'm going to have to lick Squish." he announced solemnly. Squish responded with gum for everyone. We all cheered for Squish and committed ourselves to him, regardless of the out come of the fight. The time was set. The conflict would be staged outside the school grounds near the place where we had started the prairie fire. Actually, the fire wasn't as bad as all the adults in the area pretended it to be. The haystack that burned do™ was fairly small, and the two granaries were quite old. Peewee had been demonstrating his "one match" technique and the thing just kind of materialized. Horse was afraid of fire, so he hid in the weeds until the flames got to his hiding place. Pudgy appointed himself fire marshall and went for help. We didn't see him for two days. It was really exciting and seven people got the strap. That session changed the pecking order of the gang depending on how stoic each person was during the administration of the punishment. All responded with appropriate levels of fear and anguish except Chicken who giggled. I escaped punishment by telling the principal the whole story with emphasis on how hard I had worked at putting the fire out, at - continued next page - v y v y v ’v v V V V Y V V V V V V V W W ^ /^VULCAN I P^NTY 1 OLUSION Cornef ai 1st Stfee< 41st Avenue North.

She stepped upon a pedal, I cou/d not believe my eyes, A plastic plate was pressing down, rpy b____was in a vice, My skin was stretched and stretched, from way up by my chin, And my poor t_ was being squashed to Swedish Pancake thin. Excruciating pain i felt, within its vice like grip, A prisioner in this vice like thing, my poor defenceiess t__. "Take a deep breath" she said to me, who does she think she’s kidding, My chest is smashed in her machine, I can’t breath and woozy I am getting. “There!

It squeezed me from the up and down, it squeezed me from both sides I’ll bet she never had this done, to her tender little hide! If I had no problems when I came in, I surely have one now, If there had been a lump in there, it would have popped Ker-Powl! This machine was made by a man, Of this I have no doubt. I’d like to get his b --- in there!
