St. Regis Mohawk School 5th Graders Send $32.49 To Send Food to India In the April 6 editior. of the \Massena Observer\ an ar- ticle about India's famine vic- tims and the need for CARE donations was noted by Miss Phyllis Yaddow, fifth grade teacher at St. Regis Mohawk School in Hogansburg. Since Miss Yaddow teaches sixth grade social studies and India is one of the unit covers ed, she clipped out the nticle tc read to her students. Her fifth grade group was interest- ed in the article because they had read about India's prob- lem in their \Weekly Reader\. Several pictures of starving and emaciated adults and chil- dren, were brought into . the classes and viewed. As a result of these discus- sions, the children decided to collect money to help CARE feed at least one meal a day to as many people as possible. To^create a more competitive project, a contest between the boys and girls was decided upon to_see who could raise the \most -moneys Thei-boys an \ won, by a narrow margin, contributing $17.70. The girls were not far behind with their contribution of $10.82. Several fifth graders from another group and fourth graders who became enthused with partici- pating in this activity con- tributed $4.17. * total of $32.49 was earned. What was so remarkable about this activity was that the students worked for most of the money they contributed rather than ask their parents for it. For example, two sixth grade boys, Ronnie Cree and Kenneth Arquette, obtained a job after school one afternoon cleaning a yard and earned $5 to contribute to the fund. Other money-making employment in- cluded babysitting and doing odd chores for neighbors and family. Maraena, N. Y. Observer 8 Thursday, May 11, Ut7 Encampment Will Note 65th Year Norwood - Robert N.
