Now suck. Feel silly? But it's the same basic action so why should you? Smoking is more adult? Is it really? I mean is it normal to lay out good money to buy some- thing to stick in your mouth 6 when your thumb will do the sane job for you? Of course not, after all smoking tobacco calms your nerves and relieves your tensions. The same as a soother stuck in a baby's mouth shuts him up quickly. See the similarity? 111 Have a night cap?

Dear Puzzled: - This interesting city of some 20,000 people is in LaSalle County roughly 80 miles southwest of Chicago. Father Louis Hennipin dis- covered coal there in 1680 and it was the scene of the first Lincoln- Douglas debate. Ottawa's principal industries are the manufacture of plate glass, building tile, fire brick and agricultural implements. Auntie Maude Dear Auntie Maude - I am in Grade 9 and realize that I don't have much of a figure. However, I like boys and am willing to try anything to improve my relations with them.

X-Country Team Plays Students Explore Benmiller Area A.. d ,11_0- :13.0.10 Entertairs TI1E HURON' EXPOSITOR, By Brian Drummond On Friday, October .30 all the Grade 11 students were bussed to the Benmiller area where under the direction of Mr. Ball, and Mr. Onn, they tried to de- termine the geological origins of the area, the effects of glac- iation and if it could be con- sidered a possible Indian camp site. After the students were di- vided into different groups, they ran merrily through the driz- zling rain to their starting points where they measured the speed of the river current, determined the rate of erosion and studied the rock structures and the vege- tation. At many points we attemp- ted to dig test holes to complete the history parts of our question sheets but were baffled and thwarted at every turn by' the rocky soil. • Many rock samples were taken from the area along with one containing the lower jawbone and teeth of a saber-toothed tiger found by Leanne Melanson. An Indian spearhead was found by Jim Thompson and a hide- scraper was found' by Herb Broome. Many rocks were found containing fossilized sea shells and plants, few of which have heft identified yet. The river at this point was extremely shallow (averaged. 6 inches) preventing any possible drownings although the almost continuous rain soon gave most the appearance of drowned rats. Many of th e students were of- SOCCER by Brian Drummond Seaforth came in first in the team standings with 12 points. "Listowel second with 10 points, Clinton, third place (had 10 points but Listowel had a better 'record) and Wingham in fourth spot with 7 points. Listowel 2 - 1. Despite this -victory the team lost on total points to Listowel. Thanks to the coach and team by Stephen J. Smith The tour was conducted by a guide who drove a tractor which pulled us around in carts. We were all instructed to wear safety glasses that Ford supplied. To our left we saw the first of the three train entrances into the factory. In this section they store and unpack that which comes in on the railway cars. Various parts coming in would be such things as engines, steel parts, hoods, trunk lids and the like. Just past this is the area where the body of the car is put together. There are huge weld- ing machines which do the work in split second time. This is one of the areas in. which the safety glasses came into use as the sparks from the welding machines shot far out into the factory. Next we found row upon row of parts that would be assembled into cars. The guide told us that these parts are used only if there is an emergency such as late shipping or strikes. More large welding machin- ery puts together the fenders, roof, trunks and the other parts of the car. This welding must be done without any flaws. The car body or skeleton contains nothing inside at this point ex- cept a steering wheel and a dash board. The cars are car- ried from one point to another by large conveyor lifts. The bodies are then sanded smooth and sent to the paint shop which unfortunately was not included in the tour. When the _cars come out they are beautifully finished as far as the paint surface is concerned. The primer coats of paint are put on with electric charges which actually magnetize the paint on to the body. No car has any glass in it as yet. There are various in- spections the car must pass on the assembly line before it is permitted to go any farther on the line. There is' 'a slip of paper. on the car telling the men installing the engines and bat- teries and so forth which equip- ment is to be put into the car. This is so the wrong engine doesn't get into the wrong car for example. fended by the local cottagers habit of dumping their garbage over the embankment where -it could roll into the river and also felt that it could be a dangerous hazard but everyone was careful and no one suffered from any- more than we would from any other eyesore. After foot slogging all morn- ing, it was a relief to be hi/wed to the Benmiller Park where we ate our lunches after which we walked around the outside of the closed knitting mill and tried to peer in through the boarded up windows. After this ,highly enlightening experience, we walked through the pouring rain to the grist mill where the owner graciously took us on a personally guided tour of the building in addition to allowing us to take shelter on the premises for the duration of the downpour. When the sun finally came out we scattered to explore the new bridge, the mill pond and the bank of the river and noted the differences between this sec- tion of the river and where we were in the morning. The busses carted us to the school where we discussed the days activities and agreed that the rain, although an irritation at all times, never prevented us from attaining most of our objectives and that we really had learned a lot. Many hoped we could do something similar in the late spring, so I guess I'll have to buy a raincoat. The glass is now put In. They get these articies from the piles on the floor. The car is now given a water test to seek out any leaks there might be. A black light is used to detect these leaks if any. Wheels and tires are put together in the plant. They are then installed on the car. The- upholstery for the car is made right in the plant. The guide told us that it is cheaper and faster for them to do it themselves than to have it "specially made and shipped in. Styrofoam forms are used as molds over whith a vinyl ma- terial is put. The material is heated and stretched. Heating the material allows you to stretch it farther, thus when it cools it is firmer and tighter. There are many designs of interiors such as bucket seats or plain, black or brown. The guide told us that every combination, (en- gine, colour, interior) are all ready, individually ordered from either the dealer or the customer. In this plant both two and four door cars are made. They make only Pintos and Mavericks in this plant. Approximately fifty-six cars are produced an hour. This means that almost eleven hundred cars are manufa- ctured a day. These cars are stored in, a selective tower by a computer. The car now has the seats and upholstery in. The head- lights are added. A gigantic wheel balancing machine is used to align the front end and it does so in fifteen seconds. The car Is now taken off of the assembly line and stored until the completing inspections can be made. They keep tabs on various de- partments on how they are stri- ving to keep defects down. What- ever department has the lowest amount of defects at the end of a three month period gets a free dinner paid for by Ford. This tour lasted approxim- ately forty-five minutes and was extremely t teresting. I was more than fascinated by the swift- ness and skill the workers possess. I would strongly urge anyone whe had a chance to visit Ford to do so. By Donna Malkus On Thursday morning, Oct. 22 , the students pf the S.D.H.S. had the privilege of hearing the A. T. C. Band (Air Transport Com- mand) from Kingston as they were on a tour. It was well conducted by Kenneth More. Some BySylvia Smith CINE CLUB The Cine Club, under the direction of Mr. Onn, presented its first movie of the season. "The Magnificant Men in Their Flying Machines" was shown October 28 and 29 (Wednesday and Thursday nights) at 8 o'- clock. Admission was fifty cents. A season's ticket will be sold for $2.50. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is progres- sing quite smoothly. Under the direction of Mr. Burgess the girls have been learning how to take clear pictures and to develop them properly. The main con- cern of this club will be taking photos for the year book. Good luck in picture hunting. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club has got off songs included were from the Broadway Musical "Hair", "Promises, Promises" and the "Graduate." They also played one of 'Handel's classical se- lections "Melodious Black- smith". We all enjoyed, the band and thought' It was an honour indeed to hear these.. FREE ALLEN New Staff Member By Donna Malkus Mr. Allen is the new senior math teacher at the high school this year. He was born and lived in Durham, Ontario. He then attended the University of Guelph and has earned his B.S.C. and his '41M.S.C. in Physics. He likes Seaforth and is living here right now. He likes the school and the students. When -asked what he thought of the skirt lengths, he replied that the midi was not - his favourite. We all hope that Mr. Allen will enjoy teaching at our high school and have the best of luck. • The Fifty Commandments of High School Behavior (Stolen from the Students' Handhook ) Edited for General Audiences by Brian Drummond (Continued from last week) 11. Thou shalt not waste time in class; just sign out for the entire period. 12. Thou shalt not call the staff by nicknames such as "Wild Bill, the Green Lizard or Major Milk"; it does no good - they don't know who you mean. 13. Thou shalt not deface or mutilate thy books; five bucks is extremely useful on Friday Night. 14. Thou shalt not fall asleep in class; it has been proven that snoring has adverse effects on teachers' tempers. 15. Thou shalt not clean thy feet before entering the school; give the janitors something to do. 16. Thou shalt not loiter in the front hall; this scares the Dean, he thinks you're plotting a sit-in or something. 17. Thou shalt not loiter on thy way to class; hurry, then if you beat the teacher there you can lock her out. 18. Thou shalt not leave thy pop bottles sitting on the tables in the' cafeteria; throw them underneath the tables with the rest of your garbage. 19. Thou shalt not talk during the announcements; snore yes, talk no. 20. Thou shalt not ask Mrs. T. how to spell her name five days in a row; it only leads to trouble. A permailent menumerit has been suggested for Charles de Gaulle: rename the Rock of Gibraltar, De Gaulle Stone. One youngster defined memory as "that thing I forget with."

Under the direction of Mrs. Tymchyshyn, the club consists of about 30 girls. The only thing lacking is some manly tenors and bass. It seems that the boys are either shy of girls or consider singing a pastime only fit for sissies. It's neither, so come on some of you guys and join the Glee Club. The music is great and enjoyable too. JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB The Junior French Club al- _ though it has received no extra help , is rolling along quite smoothly. It is now oc- cupied learning French songs and a play to be presented sometime this year to the student body. We hope that though many of the students are not bilingual, this- will be an enjoyable event.
