As well, the addition to the school, which was opened last Wednesday, includes classrooms, a principal's of- fice, a staff room, an addition to the library and new facilities. By September 1984, negotiations had begun bet- ween a_ newly-formed parents' committee, school board trustee Roy Edwards, and the board of education, to build a general purpose room for the school. After inspection by the school board, the addition was approved January, 1985. But because of the age of the school, it couldn't pass pre- sent fire hazard regulations. At a cost of $300,000 paid by the school board, con- struction of the addition began last October. It was completed this month. Classes and facilities were disrupted during that time because of the construction "and many were inconve- nienced,"' says Principal Glenn Macklin, "but the students' classes did not suf- fer." The school board paid for the construction of the addi- tion, while the parents' association raised money and donations came from surrounding industries. During the hour-long christening ceremony, which included a slide-show by Grade 2 and 3 students who re-enacted how "the building came to be, Bill Donald, chair of the Waubaushene Parent's Com- mittee, thanked businesses and parents for donations of time and money. "Whenever a community gets together to do something like this, you have to have support from enter- prises," Donald said. He presented Colin and Cathy Freer, owners of the IGA, with a plaque in thanks for their $1,800 donation. "We tried all sorts of things,"' he said, "'our Valen- tine's Day dance raised bet- ween $5,000 and $6,000. I think we have most of the money we raised already spent and now we're waiting for everything to be install- ed."

Good luck to you Buzz Brown, Midland Councilman, bids farewell to the Newfoundland exchange students last Thursday after- Need for order described to Vasey Vasey United Church's congregation attending 76th anniversary services last Sunday heard about the need to find order in world of pigsty ethics and bar- nyard morals. The guest preacher was former television station an- chorman, and member of Parliament, Jack Burghardt. Burghardt is London, On- tario's deputy mayor. For many reasons he was an- chorman for London's CFPL Television. Vasey United Church Minister Wesley Oake described his . friend as known throughout Canada for his committment to church work, and for his working with other denominations as well as his own. Burkhardt described as tragic a recent report of a poll which found that one- fifth of Canadians have no hope for their life. He sug- gested this is a result of the Nuclear Age in which we live. Burkhardt also told the congregation at the morning service that, to many levels of government and business, he is not a person, but a number. "I don't like being a bookkeeping tran- saction or a digit." People at time prefer to be dealt with as person, he said. At other times, being anonymous is preferres. "'If we are not known as an in- dividual, we can't be blam- ed for what we do or what we don't do. People in big cities who refuse to react when another person is be- ing mugged in effect say, "My name is anonymous and I refuse to get involved,' Burghardt said. Gossips want to be anonymous, too. Life with Jesus Christ is an authentic kind of life, daring and vital, the con- gregation was told. Jesus Christ is equal to all of the needs that people can have. Many people live only half of their potential. To accept anything less than the fullest life is foolish, Burghardt said.
