Lunch a disaster
By Lana Reed
School Lunch a Disaster At Heppner,
Oregon October 23, the disaster started in the
cafeteria. It always gets a bigger disaster.
The teachers are trying to find a way to
stop the kids making the disaster. Everytime
they get in the cafeteria they start throwing
the food around and it gets to be a big
disaster. Why do they do this? They want to
make the teachers get mad and they dont like
to sit around and wait to go outside.
The janitor was getting tired of cleaning
up the disasters the children are making, so
she suggested that every teacher watched
and whoever they saw throwing the food and
making the disasters have to help clean it up
and write ditties. The janitor couldnt think of
anything else, so they all agreed on this.

Milk out, pop in
By Keith Kenison
Portland Oreg. (U.P.)
The government decided to ban milk
because of it's good taste and also is good for
your teeth and bones. They made this decision
Wed. Oct 11, 1978. Across the country there
will be 100 cows layed off.
Because there is nothing to put on your
cereal they decided that they wouldn't ban
saccharine so you could put diet pop on your
cereal.

TV's Sonny Bono. Cher and Sonny were in

drove her to it from bad breath from eating
too much Italian food. Reporters rushed to
see Cher but when they got to her all she said
was Italian words. Doctors say that Chers
mind has been infected with Italian customs
and words. Some sceptics say its Sonny
Bono's spirit. She even uses the wrong
rest room. Reporters rushed to see Cher but
when they got there two Italian guard's with
mustaches were guarding the door.
Chers mind is a vegetable said Dr. Barns
than he jumped out the window. This is Bart
Cole signing off from Mexico.
