that you want to, but Zoom tries. Zoom, zoom, zoom, do a zoom, do Do a zoom, do, do a zoom, do To make a peg, though, you need a peg some scraps of material, pipe cleaners, cotton wool or ordinary wool for hair, glue and scissors. I got the idea from a magazine. It had a picture of a doll made out of a peg and I just got some pegs and I made a doll out of it. You start with a peg and you cut out the skirt and you put that on, fix that onto the peg. Then cut out the bodice, put the bodice on. and take the pipe cleaners for arms and then stick them on and you know so they can bend in any

position you like. It doesn't cost a lot to make them. The pegs don't cost much because you get a A lot in, you know, a lot in a bundle. And paint the face with whatever face you want, you know. To paint the face I use crayons and belt pens or pencils, anything. And then put the hair on. For the hair, I use either cotton wool, if I want a wig or something like that, or wool, different colours, like brown, black, blonde colour, you know, something like that. Now I have to put some lace and frills and different trimmings on to make it look better than it was.

and finished it off nicely. If you want to learn how to make your own pig dolls, the instructions are on a Zoom card. We'll send you one. Just write to Zoom and enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. Hi, Chris. How's business?

It's moving along. Welcome to Zoom Views and Weather, where your point of view is important. Today our reporters have letters from many different places. Come in, Jennifer. Well, Chris, Ray Tanner wrote, Dear Zoom, I was born and raised in Juneau, Alaska. I have also lived in what we fondly call the Lower 48, where I have met up with a lot of ignorance concerning Alaska. For instance, I get asked questions such as, do you live in an igloo? Well, not everyone in Alaska lives in an igloo, especially in a big city like Juneau. I don't feel there's room for such ignorance in a time when men are going to the moon. Ron? Thanks, Jennifer. Robin Ogata from Hilo, Hawaii, sent us some social phrases in Hawaiian. Haoli Makahiki Ho means Happy New Year.

Haoli Lahanao is Happy Birthday. And last but not least, Mele Kalikimaka means Merry Christmas. Thanks, Robin. I hope I pronounced them correctly. No? Thanks, Ron. And in Denver, Colorado, Anna Quintana knows how to count from 1 to 10 in Korean. She learned how in her karate class. Hanna, du'u, set, net, tosat, yosat, ilgap, yadol, ahop, yol. Thanks, Anna. Back to you, Chris. Thanks, Nell. And now the weather, Karen. Today's report came from all over the world. So we asked Zoom viewers whether they could guess how long it would take to walk around the world. A very long time, because you'd have to get boats and things.

A couple of hundred days. Two years. Five years or ten. Maybe about 25 years. 45 years. 50 years. For me, probably more than a century. Years, maybe. Years, millions of years. Probably the rest of your life. This is a story found in a bottle on the beach in a hole. Although it might seem fantasy-like, it is actually quite true. The strange and incredible planet. To whom this may concern. On a mission that my crew and I were sent on, we discovered a strange and incredible planet. It was unlike most planets that we've ever encountered, and it was unlike even ours. To begin with, and maybe the most incredible thing, was the inhabitants.

They were not educated and knew practically nothing. All they seemed to do was to hunt, eat, sleep, and draw pictures of us on the walls of the strange dwellings. These dwellings were nothing compared to our modern accessories. They had no sunken bathtubs, no colored TVs, and no modern toilet facilities. They had no modern travel systems either. All they did was walk, jog, skip, or run. They also had hardly any language or communication systems, except for drawing and grunting. Their food was terrible. They had no seasoning. Yuck! Who could eat this junk? To make things worse, there was no silverware. We had to eat with our hands. My crew was always complaining on how the inhabitants were always quarreling. We could never agree with them.

On our way home, my crew and I could not fit everything that we brought with us into the rocket. Some of the things that we left behind include gold carvings, quartz, crystal beads ever so small, parts of our old computer, and our most precious item, a crystal skull. I'm sure you have guessed where I went by now. This mission was to the planet Earth 80,000 years ago. Yours sincerely, M.M. Martian, 2001 West Jupiter Street, planet Mars. Hi, Ron. How's business? It's shocking. Start getting into the mood. First, by being still and quiet with yourself. think about what the black spiritual dance means to you my name is Yvette Brooks I live

in New York and I'm part of a very special dance company I belong to the Marie Brooks Children's Dance Theater, and Marie Brooks is my mother. The kind of dances we do are modern, Caribbean, and traditional African dance. Our company travels to different countries. We research the dances there and then we come back and perform them here. The Caribbean dances are very flirtatious.

They're not complicated, but they're festive. There is really a kind of family feeling in our company because everybody works together, united. Everybody chips in. I started dancing three years ago. My schedule's very busy because I take ballet every day,

so I'm always on the go. When I'm in the city walking around, I'm always aware of how I move, and I'm also always looking at how other people move, too. When I see other people slouching, I always look at myself first and see if I'm doing that, and then I straighten up. I used to be really shy when I was younger, but now dance really helped me overcome it a lot. I really feel different about myself since I've started dancing because I've learned how well I I learned how to help people more. Now we are going to do basic simple movements by saying yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Once a week I teach three to six

in body awareness. Yes, yes, and then we say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And up, down. I really think it's very good for little kids to learn dance very early. Up, out, and in. Give to your neighbor. Out, and in. Step, step. It's a nice feeling teaching the three to six-year-olds, because later on they might want to join the company, or even if they don't, they would know something about dance that would always stay with them through life. Together, left, left, together, right, step, right, together. Ow, here, I got abs.

Okay, all right. Don't go easy. We're getting ready to do the Pentecostal of Jamaica, West Indies. It's about a spiritual feeling, a feeling that belongs to your own heritage. It comes from inside out, a message of peacefulness. La la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la.

La la la la la, la la la la la la. What a wonderful day, a very wonderful day, To be free from sin, and a Christ within. Just to be a volunteer with Jesus, my Lord, what a wonderful, wonderful day. We'll be right back.

Let's go. We're going to roll out the barrel

And to find out what's inside today Try this barrel sent in by Michael Brown of Gratom, North Carolina. Take a spoon and put a penny on the end of the handle. Then lightly hit the other end of the spoon with a closed fist. And try to catch the penny on your fist. That's too good. That was good. Wait a second. Wait. No, wait. One more time. Okay, perfect. Cut it. Hey. Here, you go. Oh, yeah, I almost got it. I have one more try, one more. Do you have to catch it in your fist, like, you go like that? No, like this, right there. Yeah. Oh, my God. Damn, impossible. Okay, my turn, just a second. Listen. That's the end, kiddo, that's the end. I was at the end, it was. Okay. Very end. Fine. You just listen to me again. Good boy. I'll try again.

Ah! You should watch one. Here's another penny. Here we go. Ready? Oh, you're getting here. How come you're so good at it? Come on, I cut it. All right, ready? Okay, go. Oh, almost. Oh, you're so good at it. Is that the penny comes? My turn. Can I share a spoon to someone? Yeah, me. Okay. I get the spoon back. I like my spoon. Get off my... Oh! Oh! My turn. Hey, I want this to go. I'll take one. Let me just try. Look at it. Jesus. Oh, no. You grab it. Oh, hey, listen. It's supposed to fall, not grab it. I'll grab it. I got it. Eight. Eight. Uh-huh. Do you want more time? Aren't you staying for the second act of the play? No. The program says second act two years later. I can't wait around that long. Pouring the milk out of this coconut so I can make a coconut cup.

Coconut cups are usually made in the Caribbean islands and you find the coconuts in the Caribbean islands too. But here you can find them in your supermarket. Now, usually you think that the milk will be white, but this one's clear since it's a mature coconut. Make sure it's all out. There. Now, when you finish that, you look at your coconut. and see if it has a crack. Some coconut comes with a crack. If it doesn't, you'll need very sharp tools to crack it. Be very careful and have a person with you. Now, after you cut it, you grab your butter knife and you do the smaller end first. And you just scrape. Dig in.

Oh, see, that's how you got to do it. Dig in so it can all come out in one part. Then you take your larger end, and you do the same. After you finish scraping all the meat out, this is what it's going to look like. Now, you take your sandpaper and sand it all in one if you're going to drink out of it. Now, you can sand it outside, but I like the natural look. You can even shellac it. After that, you take your platform, and... this is the way it fits best on this one you take your glue and you put it on your base put it all around so you can get a good glue there so it won't tilt to one side or something there a lot dry up nice and waterproof then put it on just the way you had it and you put the glue inside.

All around inside. There. Then you take it off to a side. And you let it dry. There. Now, after it dries, this is what it'll look like. Take your milk, pour it in, and you drink it. Salud! If you want to know how to make a coconut cup, the instructions are on a Zoom card. So write to Zoom. Time, there isn't time. There isn't time to do the things we want to do. With all the mountain tops to climb And all the words to wander through There isn't time With all the swinging songs to sing And all the groovy games to play

And all the quiet thoughts to think The kooky, quirky things to say There's only time, there's only time To sing and play and say a few And then sit down and make a rhyme About the rest I want to do There isn't time With all the funky folks to meet The puns and funny jokes to hear And all the fancy foods to eat The rings and sparkle things to wear There's only time, there's only time To meet and eat and wear a few And then sit down and make a rhyme All about the rest I want to do There isn't time, there isn't time There isn't time

For all the world's a many-sided ball Yes, all the world's a multi-colored ball And on in you can have yourself a ball Singing all styles of life and living All kinds of minds imagining All sorts of sports this morning All shapes of happy happenings But there's only time, there's only time To know a few and do a few To sing and play and stay a few To meet and eat and wear a few And then sit down and make a rhyme About the rest I want to do Time, there is a time There is a time, there is a time

There is a time, there is a time There is a time I'm gonna give it a try We're gonna reach for the sky You can help us to fly high Morning Zoom, Morning Zoom Major funding for Zoom is provided by a grant
