POLLUTION PROBE POLLUTION PROBE The pollution probe held its 1st meeting on April 8. Under the direction of Mr. Chappell, it ran successfully for two months, with meetings held once a week regularly. The main purpose was to get others to realize that pollution has become a more hazardous problem as time has gone by. One of the ways and means of doing this was Anti-Pollution Week. Mr. Longton, Mr. Archie Pick, Mr. Mike Lysyk, Mr. Rymerand Mr. Dave Crindle were brought in to give talks on general topics of pollution concerning: 1. Pollution and the Individual 2. Industrial Pollution 3. Ecosystem 4. Air Pollution 5. Water Pollution Also, a paper, the Probe, was published daily to give information pertinent to the theme of the day. Films, posters, displays and questionnaires were also very much of this week. A poster contest concerning the pollution theme was also held with prizes going to: 1st Darryl Wiebe 9-33 2nd Brian Gordon 11-4 3rd Sydney Kirkness 12-8 This week proved successful as it did arouse the interest of others about the dangers of pollution.

UNESCO CONFERENCE At this year ' s conference the theme was Human Rights and Man ' s Environment”. One of many events was a tour of Winnipeg which included such sites as the planetarium, the Metro Sewage Treatment Plant and the Canada Cement Plant. There were Panel presentations and group discussions on Pollution and Human Values in the City of Today. During these presentations delegates used simultaneous translation transistors so that there could be English-French communication. Reports were made by representatives from schools all over Canada on what their schools had done throughout the year for Unesco and on what projects are planned for the coming year. This was very informative and efforts will be made to acquaint Churchill students with the activities of other Associated Schools were made. Suggestions for the future included a request by Mr. Stewart, Secretary of the Associated Schools project, that regional conferences be held by as many of the Associated Schools as possible within the next year. Premier Shreyer spoke to delegates and guests about the conference topics at a banquet at the Marlborough Hotel. A suming up of events was presented by two Unesco officials, Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Hobles. All enjoyed the closing meal in the Winnipeg City Hall. So many people were involved in the conference that it is impossible to thank all individually but thanks must go to Mr. Chappell; who was responsible for bringing the conference to Churchill.
