The grade 9 class will be holding a White Elephant Sale in the spring. If you find any treasures during your fall cleaning, please bring them into the schoolNews from the Milo l's and 2's I don't want to panic anyone, but did you know that in just six short weeks we'll be into the Christmas school break?!! With Christmas just around the corner, we have already decided that December 9th will be the day we present our Christmas production so be sure to mark that date on your calendar. While I am on the topic of Christmas, this year the Milo School Staff and students will be participating in Operation Christmas Child. We will be packing shoeboxes with items suitable for children and then sending them to destinations in Central and South America where the hurricanes have been so devastating this fall. A sincere thank you to all who supported or are supporting us in this cause. Last Christmas item, I promise, the grade 1 and 2 class have been invited to sing at the Country Christmas Dinner on November 30th, so hopefully we will see you there! On Thursday, October 21st, all of the Milo staff and students boarded four buses and enjoyed the day touring several important sites on the Siksika First Nation Reserve. Our first stop was the Siksika Resource Development Limited where we had a 30-minute tour. This building houses the offices of the oil, gas and environmental industries all of which are growing on the reserve. Next we met at the Band Office and enjoyed a tour of the Business Council Chambers. Third stop was the Arbour, a very interesting wooden structure where Pow Wows and other important ceremonial functions are housed. Then it was off to the Sports Plex for another tour. This is where we lunched also, and after lunch we were treated to stories from two elders who shared with us what it was like when they were children attending school. Last stop was the Okan ranch where in the past the Blackfoot people held their sun dances. We learned that "oki" means hello and that "Siksika*' means Blackfoot. We learned a little bit about the four colours on the Siksika logo. Blue represents the river (sometimes the sky), yellow the sun and green is the land. A sincere thank you to James Red Crow for organizing this event with the help of our tour guide Eulalia. A very big thank you to our bus drivers: Penny, Arvid, Wendy and Roxanne for getting us safely to our destinations and home again. Mrs. Patti Nicol-Pharo, our school counselor, was able to accompany us on our trip and she commented on what well behaved students we have at Milo School. She has been on many field trips and was very impressed with our well-mannered students. Now on to the holiday that is second only to Christmas (from a child's perspective)—Halloween! On the afternoon of Thursday, October 28th, the Milo students and staff held their Halloween and costume parties in their respective classrooms. (Someone recently reminded me that it was this week last year that we had a “snow day" at Milo School courtesy of Mother Nature and the Halloween activities were all cancelled.) This year our afternoon activities included a costume parade, a tour through the haunted house, a craft activity and juice and snacks. We also had each grade vote for their favourite costume from among their peers. The grade 1 winner was Desperado Chett, and the grade 2 winner was the “homemade big can of Adrienne Raid'. A big thank you to Mealane for preparing and serving the food. The Dracula dip was a favourite! Thank you to the parents (Singer, Donna, 6-Nel and Neal) who came in to assist with make-up and costumes. Thanks also to 6-Nel for supplying the paper cups, napkins and plates with the Halloween motifs. Oh yes, and thank you Cynthia, Adrienne and Miriam who surprised and treated the 142 and the 344 rooms to giant cookies! Despite the full moon, I think the students managed to exercise enough self-control to contain their excitement to a “slow boil" so the afternoon was manageable and enjoyed by everyone. We will begin to practice the first week of November for our part in the Remembrance Day Service on the 10th at the cenotaph. Hope to see you there. -Written and submitted by Mrs. Phair±)'L =S3£ Chinook rppniT union un Lomond Savings Box 242, Lomond, Alberta, TQL 1G0 Phone (403) 792-3763 Fax (403) J-f t w * Looks Like Winter is Here!

USED OIL is used in the production of asphalt. OIL FILTERS are shredded and heated to a molten state. Then reused as material for other metal products such as rebar, nails, and wire. ALUMINUM CANS are compressed into bales. Shredders chop the bales into pieces, magnetic separators remove steel and iron scrap. Paint and coatings are removed by hot air, then the cans are turned into molten aluminum. From an empty can to a full new one in your hand takes six to eight weeks. GLASS is used three ways. Glass beads are added to paint for marking highways. Only clear glass can be used for this product. "GlassSand", the name for the processed mixture used for fibreglass insulation. This product uses all colors of glass. The third is new containers, which require all colors of glass. MILK JUGS are the most versatile and valuable for plastic recycling. Some of the many products made from milk jugs are plastic pipe, drainage tile, flower pots, plastic lumber for decking and picnic tables, new detergent bottles, lubricating oil pails, toys, cases, and other formed plastic products. OIL JUGS are made into new containers, plastic flower pots, plastic pipe, guardrails, fence posts, and plastic patio furniture. PAINT is separated between latex and oil base in large drums, and used as industrial primer. 750 kilograms (1650 lbs.) of waste per person per year goes into Alberta's Landfills YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! USED TIRES are actually quite versatile and more research is being done in regard to tractor and heavy equipment tires. Some of the products being made now are roofing tile, rubber stucco, interlocking bricks and flooring tile, rubber matting, crumb for playgrounds and athletic fields. NEWSPAPERS become new newsprint, and molded food packaging such as egg trays and fruit packaging. OFFICE PAPER is the most valuable. It's used in the manufacture of recycled printing and writing papers, and tissue products. MIXED PAPER is an assortment of all paper found In households and offices. It is used In the production of molded egg and food trays, and also used in the production of some building materials.“No, Grandpa,” our 6 year old replied, “It was a bass.” *********************** I over heard some preschoolers discussing their heritage. One with roots in Italy said he was Italian. Another said his Mother was French. A third noted, “My family is from the country. So I must be Ranch.” ************************** Our great niece was describing her kindergarten ‘boyfriend’. When I asked if he was tall, dark and handsome, she replied, “No, Sam’s hair is vanilla.” *************************** As my shoeless daughter was running across the gravel ,1 asked why she was walking so slowly. “Because,” she sighed, “I’m wearing my bald feet.” ************************** “Mom’s putting her masks on to scare us,” my nephew,4, informed me as my sister applied her mascara. **************************** As Compiled by M.

Lest We Forget In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. W° are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. Ifye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. - John McCrae Facts on Remembrance Day • Remembrance Day commemorates Canadians who died in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It is held every November 11. • The first Remembrance Day was conducted in 1919 throughout the Commonwealth. Originally called Armistice Day, it commemorated the end of the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918 at 11 a.m.: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. • From 1923 to 1931, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. Thanksgiving was also celebrated on this day. • In 1931, M.P. Allan Neill introduced a bill to hold Armistice Day on a fixed day - November 11. During the bill's introduction, it was decided the word "Remembrance" would be used instead of "Armistice". The bill passed and Remembrance Day was conducted on November 11, 1931. Thanksgiving Day was moved to October 12 that year. • The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to raise money for needy veterans.

Others are listening. Do you realize when we speak, others are listening? Of course, we all know that. We all know too that is how our children learn the art of talking; and once they have established the use of words in conversation, it is very difficult to change. So when time come to use correct grammar, they may feel very inadequate. Good speech is a necessity, even if you just push buttons at work. I seen, We seen, They seen. All incorrect not seen SA W is the word to use. Please remember watch your words. It could make a world of difference to those who are listening and learning.

It is absurd to go on seeking it. Knife and pain are two words in surgery that must forever be associated in the consciousness of the patient. - Dr. Alfred Velpeau (1839) French surgeon Men might as well project a voyage to the Moon as attempt to employ steam navigation against the stormy North Atlantic Ocean. - Dr. Dionysus Lardner (1838) Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, University College, London The foolish idea of shooting at the moon is an example of the absurd length to which vicious specialization will carry scientists working in thought-tight compartments. - A.W. Bickerton (1926) Professor of Physics and Chemistry, Canterbury College, New Zealand When the Paris Exhibition closes, electric light will close with it and no more be heard of. - Erasmus Wilson (1878) Professor at Oxford University Well informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that were it possible to do so* the thing would be of no practical value. - Editorial in the Boston Post (1865) That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced. - Scientific American, Jan. 2,1909 Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, ca. 1895, British mathematician and physicist Radio has no future - Lord Kelvin, ca. 1897. While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially I consider it an impossibility, a development of which we need waste little time dreaming. - Lee DeForest, 1926 (American radio pioneer) There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear energy] will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will. - Albert Einstein, 1932 Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 19,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1.5 tons. - Popular Mechanics, March 1949. There is no need for any individual to have a computer in their home. e>\ s »ri j icj~r'7 ) “Pre 4 iC^rp.Get Well Wishes Thank You Get well wishes go out to Lynda Cyr who is having hip surgery this month in Calgary at the Rocky View Hospital.
