Twelve-year-old Julie Hodder, a grade six student at the St. John's S.D.A. Elementary School won the silver medal for diving in her age category at the New- foundland Provincial Diving Competition which was held on Sunday, March 19, 1989. Julie was originally scheduled to com- pete on Sabbath, the 18th, but her day of rest was more important to her than the competition, and so she withdrew. However, Julie's diving coach arranged for her to dive on Sunday, and the Lord Photos below—The Christ is the Answer blessed her.

The purpose of this annual event is to provide food for the Calgary Food Bank in a unique and enjoyable manner. During the school day after- noon, the students collected bottles, cans of food, and cash donations. Two days later they paired off to carry out the se- cond phase of the program. Using the donations and bottle refunds totalling $300.00, the students and staff went shopping at the local Safeway store. Cor- relating math with the activity, the students were required to keep accurate record of the cost of each item and the weight of their purchases; their goal was to collect a ton of food. Later on that after- noon, 301 kg. of food stuffs were delivered to the Calgary Food Bank— approximately one-third of their goal. They look forward to reaching and ex- ceeding this figure during their next T.O.N. Day. Correspondent Blake Wile
