 A SCIENTIFIC HOLIDAY
was a scientist during the .holidays. My cousins and I were working on chemistry,
^^ide a chemical for salt. We used the chemicals sodium and chlorine. We made another
Chemical for Mercuric Oxide. Me also made Silicon Dioxide which is composed *1 Silicon
and 2 atoms of Oxygen. Me made the chemical for cane sugar which is composed of 12 atoms
of carbon and 22 atoms of hydrogen and 11 atoms of oxygen. We made Carbon Monoxide which
has only 1 atom of Oxygen for each atom uf Carbon. We made Carbon dioxide which is comp¬
osed of 2 atoms of °arbon Monoxide. After wre made Mercuric Oxide, we got some lens and
made pure oxygen. - Michael.
Michael Gruninger is in my Grade 2 Class, seven years old. He is very interested in
Math and Science and does a lot of interesting work on his own. This essay was written
in responsei to an assignment I made which was to tell the class what they did during tthe
holiday of teachers' Convention.
I think this is worthy of publication. He had no text book. No one told him how
to spell a word* He did it all in class. Rather wonderful for a seven year old.

The following letter will be mailed to all Chambers, of Commerce in the. Province of
Iberta just as-soon as we receive a list of same from the.Provincial Office who has
received our Brief in connection with the possible abandonment of Grain Elevators and
5528 miles of rail line in the three prairie Provinces: ....Newspaper and magazine art¬
icles have reported that the "Grains Group1.'.is, proposing the abandonment of many grain
elevators;,and the two Canadian Hallways have in the past- applied for abandonment of 5,528
niles of rail line, mostly in the Prairie Provinces. :
because of this we believe that the small communities and the many farmers who will
bo effected, if these plans are re-submitted at the end of the deferment period at the
end of 1974, should be banding together now to make a strong case against any such prop¬
osals c ,
Any such abandonment programs, I'm sure you will.agree, will spell the death knoll of
many small communities throughout the Prairies and add untold dollars to the fanners
expenses. . »• - .. ;
We also believe that in opposing any such abandonment that you should enlist the
support of any or all groups in your area or across the Prairies whose support would lend
some weight to the cause.
The purpose -of this letter, then is to solicit your support and action on these
concerns that could have a far reaching effect on your community (the members of your
- f-nization), Magrath and District Chamber of Commerce.
