Mary Cashmore Terrace Bay, Ont. 825-9152 by JOE KUTCHER This time prior to the Christmas season, is full of reminders of the holi- days to come. News- papers, magazines, street and house decor- ations and the shopping malls all give testimony to the return of gift giving, Santa Claus and special times. But his is also the season of wait- ing in a different sense. The students and staff of Holy Angels School all shared in a day of waiting during this Ad- vent season on Friday, December 2nd. Advent is a special time set aside for Christians to prepare for the glorious reappearance of Jesus the Light of the World. In the Bible, many peo- ple of the Old Testa- " ment waited for the pro- mise of a saviour to be fulfilled. Christians to- day wait again for the coming of the Lord. The Day of Waiting at Holy Angels School, in- volved groups of child- ren gathering together to share in a waiting ex- perience and a prayer Location: Art Koom ADVENT: A time of waiting reflection about the coming of Jesus. Child- ren in grades kinder- garten to three talked about the many things they were waiting for and decorated five point stars with pictures of the things for which they wait. Each child was able to hang their own star on a waiting tree during a short prayer service. This tree stands in the school hall as a reminder of Advent and of how these children wait. The students in grades four to six did some research into peo- ple in the Old Testament who waited for the com- ing of Jesus. The child- ren then designed a symbol representing these Old Testament fig- ures and decorated an- other waiting tree which also stands in the school hallway. Finally, the stud- ents in grades seven and eight had the opportun- ity to discuss the idea of things and events they wait for in their lives.

This will add an- other dimension to their preparations for Christ- mas. Season for poinsettias Poinsettias are one of the most decorative of all plants for the Christ- mas season. A native to Mexico and Central America, the poinsettia has be- come very popular be- cause of its unique abil- ity to "hold flower' for so long. The poinsettia flow- er is actually a group of bracts or reduced leaves surrounding a flower cluster, a characterist- ic common to the Eu- phorbiacea plant family. The coloured bracts, which are available in red, pink or white, should remain attract- ive for at least three to four weeks if kept in a cool, bright place. To keep a plant after the bracts have fallen, keep the plant in a cool bright room and water sparingly to induce dor- mancy. Cut the plant back severely, 15 cm to 25 cm (6-10") from the base in late spring or early sum- mer. Then begin to wat- er often and fertilize well with a household fertilizer. Cuttings of new growth can also be taken and rooted in mid- summer. Protect your poinset- tia from frost in the fall and place the plant in a sunny window. After October ist, keep the poinsettia from artifi- cial light at night and it should be brightly coloured by Christmas. 1982 300 lives 3 1983 ?
