MS Read-A-Thon a unique project The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is presently sponsoring a unique project that is keeping children in the Penetanguishene-Mid- land area quite busy. The project is called PSS News by Peter McDonald As of Friday April 28 the students Council had received five nominations for the various: executive posts on the council. Since the nominations were closed on Friday the candidates are as follows: running for president will be Lisa Robillard and Marnie Ridout, for vice-president will be Wayne Quesnelle and Bernadette Marchand and Irene Lau has been acclaimed secretary. The candidates are to be congratulated for their interest and best of luck to all of them. On Friday May 12 Disco: "Rockin Rollers Royce"' are coming to P.S.S. With the immense popularity of Disco this experiment is a first for P.S.S. All of those disco dancing lessons you've been taking for the last few months are finally going to pay off. Advance tickets will sell for seventy-five cents while those at the door will be one dollar with a Students Card and a dollar-fifty without. And as usual guest passes will be available at the door. The doors will open at 8 p.m. Last Wednesday the Rome-Sorrento group trip got together at the school for one last meal together. This was designed as an opportunity to re-tell stories of their experiences during their trip and to bring light to some of the educational experiences as well. There are only twenty-seven days left in our school year. Yes we've started the count down but who can blame us with the nice weather we experienced Friday. It is not too conducive to studying in a drab school and everybody is complaining. But that happens every year at this time so we'll probably survive...

The project is somewhat similar to a walk-a-thon, except that the children must-read books as opposed to walking a number of miles. Representatives from the MS Society visited local schools, and explained the idea to students, teachers and administration. The children have a set time to read as many books as they can, and they collect pledges for their efforts. Although sponsorships vary, an average figure might be 10 cents per book. The read-a-thon program originated in the United States where it gained "tremendous response' according to the MS society. One of the organizations backing the project is the Inter- national Reading Association. "In the MS Read-A- Thon, we have a method of motivating our elementary students to read outside of the classroom. It won't take much time for a reader to read, but it takes a lot to make a non-reader want to try it," Dr. William Fuller, president of the reading association said. On April 3, the program was initiated in Simcoe County, after both the Simcoe County Board of Education and the Simcoe County Separate School Board gave their ap- proval. The program is open to students to grades one through eight, and over Thefts keep OPP busy A string of early spring thefts continue to keep Midland OPP officers busy. On April 29 Mr. Herman Cole of Alliston reported that someone had entered his Forest Harbour cottage and had stolen a 14-foot aluminum boat. He told police that he estimates the theft oc- curred between April 27 and 29. The boat is valued at $565. Police are still in- vestigating. Shingle Theft hes VORP) 7 isy ain- vestigating the theft of 20 bundles' of roofing shingles from a new home site in the Sunnyside area, just outside Midland town limits. The theft is believed to have occurred between April 16 and 22. The shingles are valued at about $200. Theft From Boat Police are investigating a theft from a boat belonging to William Wallace of Hugel Avenue in Midland which took place sometime between March 26 and April 26. Police say that the boat was parked at the Wye River Marina when thieves forcibly entered it by prying open a hatch. A quantity of property valued at $315 was taken.
