Noon hours and times after regular sehool hours were set aside for events such as students and staff volleyball games, multi-legged races, toboggan races and a "sock- hop." On Friday afternoon, the school assembled at the Bow- manville arena for a Cupid Carnival where snake races, a MILK FEVER SKIMS, PROFITS Ontario dairymen could in- crease profits if they paid more attention to their dry cows. Dennis McKnight, lecturer at the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology, says proper management of dry cows can prevent outbreaks of milk fever. The disease causes heavy milk losses in many herds, so he offers suggestions to help dairymen prevent the disease. "Feed dry cows a ration of grass hay or limited amounts of corn silage. This improves the chances that cows will receive nearly equal quanti- ties of calcium and phospho- rus in their ration." Mr. McKnight stresses that the cows should be fed no more than 75 g of calcium and 30 g of phosphorus each day. Recent studies indicate that when dry cows receive the proper balance of calcium and phosphorus, they are less likely to contract mîlk fever. " Only ten percent of cows that have had milk fever contract it again when fed this balance of calçium and phos- phorus during the dry period. " Mr. McKnight says dairy- men should flot feed dry cows alfalfa or legume hay, because they'll receive an incorrect balance of calcium, of phos- phorus. This just increases their chances of conlracting milk fever, he says. Another way to prevent milk f'ever is by feeding dry cows massive doses of vitamin D). VFecd each cow 20 to 3o nilîlion unils of' vitamin D2 daily, three to eight days heoeca lvi ng. This will prevent 80) percent ofnîilk lever cases."

In another Carnival Week event, the students raised over 20,000 pennies for the Red Cross. For the Bowmanville Senior Public School this was the fif th annual carnival. The only disadvantage to ail these fun and games is the fact that once the carnival is over students begin their winter exams. learned Thursday night its outdoor education progrm ýanville, February 14, 1979 il will flot be adversely affected by a new Ministry of Education restriction on school-to-school transpor- tation grants. The board learned of the Ministry's new policy last month. It states that the only school-to-school transpor- tation expenditures eligible for grants are class trips where the samne class is tran- sported to and from the saine school 15 or more times during the school year. The subjects which qualify are home economics, industrial arts and physical education. The board immediately sent a letter of protest to Minister of Education Bette Stephen- son. In a reply to that letter, Assistant Deputy Minister, H.K. Fisher said the change in respect of school-to-school transportation approvals does not exclude the outdoor education trips from grant assistance. This type of pupil transportation is included for grant purposes in the ordinary expenditures of the board, he explained. HeIp gour Heort...
