Boomerang ......

'Boomerang' is the hunting weapon of the Australian aborigine. It is a curved piece of hard wood, about 2ft. 6 inches long. It is flat on one side and rounded on the other. A slight twist in the angle of one of the 'wings' makes it return to the owner when thrown. But when it hits something on the way, it cannot return. Special nonreturning types are made for use in warfare.

Coral Reef___

An animal called 'polyp' builds itself a skeleton from the lime it collects from the sea. A polyp looks like a plant and lives in warm salt water. The skeleton it builds is a hard as rock. It protects the polyp during its life time. When the polyp dies, the skeleton remains. A Coral Reef is formed when so many polyps join together over the thousands of years and left the skeletons behind._____

Fire Works

Fire works have been used by man for thousands of years. They had their beginning in China and gradually spread through the East. It is believed that the crusaders brought fireworks to Europe in the thirteenth century. The colours in fireworks are produced by the metal salts used in the explosive. Copper makes blue; barium green, sodium green and strontium red.

Black Forest___

Black Forest is a mountain range in West Germany. It is situated where the border meets those of France and Switzerland. Germany has many fine forests. The mountain slopes are covered with dark-leaved fir trees, which gave the firest its name. Many German folk tales come from the region and many wooden toys, instruments and clocks are made there. The Black Forest region is a favourite holiday resort too.

Circus___

The term 'Circus' comes from the Latin word for a ring or circle. In ancient Rome it was the circular arena built for holding chariot and horse racing, gladiatorial combats and fight between wild beasts. From these beginnings has come our circus of today, still with a ring, but with pleasant and happy things going on inside it.

Smile Please____

A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the family, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give...........
