All of the entries had been pri ze winners in preliminary fairs in the four school areas in the county. and in many instances the judges had a rough time in arriving at decisions of final winners.

You should have been at the York County Science Fair at Bayview Secondary School. Adult visitors were positively astounded at some of the things they saw. More than 100 young people hovered anxiously over their exhibits, eagerly describing and explaining‘ or demonstrating them for the benefit of judges‘ and visitors. Under direction of Sills Den- holin. head of the science de-. partment at Bayview. and chair-. man for the science fair com-3 mittee. the exhibits were welli displayed in the large school gymnasium. A wild-life display on loan from the Burlington Outdoor Resource Centre set the scene; in the main foyer. i Obviously a great deal of‘ work and time had gone into preparations for the show. and hundreds of parents and friends dropped in in the afternoon and evening to see the show. Two young bdrsewomen. Deb- bie Norwood. 12, and Audrey Dolph. 13. of Jersey Public‘ School. greeted visitors at the door. Appropriately dressed“ they dis pl a ye d English and Western saddles and headgear. There were photos and sketches of their own horses. drawings of‘ the anatomy of a horse. thei ancient skull and jawbone of a‘ gelding. a three dimensional model of a barn and paddock. and- an information book that' had takén several weeks to pre- pare. Simon Roab and Stephen Campbell of Markham District High School had worked to- gether on a physical experiment and transmission of sound by light. and won first prize in their category. Soren Nielsen of King City Secondary School had done a painstaking study of the meta- bolic rate of mice using a speedometer which won him first prize in his category. and was considered by the judges to be the best all round exhibit. Running him a close second Men Wanted Big Brothers Fill Need For Fatherless Boys Since Richmond Hill Ro- tary Club recently assumed responsibility for sponsor- ing a Big Brother move- ment in the area. the first relationship between a Big Brother and a boy has been made. The newly opened Big Brother office. donated by Ronalds Federated. 2115 Yonge Street North. oppos- ite Richmond Heights Cen- tre. has been operating on Saturday only since the beginning of February. The first Big Brother to have a "fatlierless" boy is Bill Stewart of Thornhill. an education consultant in Metro. "He will no doubt have much to learn from his "little brother". comments Social Worker Norman Opp- erman. who is in charge of the Richmond Hill office. Bill‘s 'little brother’ is David. who lives in Rich- mond Hill. and they hope to share interests such as hockey. football. swimming. camping and fishing, as well as their key interest â€"â€" auto and motorcycle rac- ing. There are many boys be- was Barry McKillop of Bayview Secondary School who had worked with several generations of guppies to complete his en- vironmental study. gradually moving the fish from water with .87 percent salt content to water containing 3.5 percent salt â€" equivalent to ocean water. Judy Palmer. 17. Reid. 16. of Bayview had also‘ used fish in their three month study of water pollution. add- ing chemicals. oil. liquid deter- gent and other materials to ob- seiye their effects on the fish. They had come away with aland observed that one of the prize from the area 4ranimals jumped frantically each‘ first. ‘ science fair. and placed second‘ in their category at the county fair. True scientists. they were not perturbed that all the fish had died. The fish in the water containing the detergent were the most repulsive. bloated and soggy. but the girls admitted they still use detergents at home. They had disected some of the fish. and had microscopes and slides to show visitors the effects on the intestines of the chemicals which had polluted the water. ierals, Don Surgeoner. 13. of Stuartlbuds.
