Cheers were given both clubs.A special meeting of the Exeter Board of Education was held in the basement of the Library Tuesday evening the principal business being to consider the date for re-opening the public and high school. A let­ ter was read from the Minister of Education, Toronto, advising that schools remain closed until the mid­ dle of .September in order that the students might be enrolled as “sol­ diers of the soil.” Principal E. J. We.they, who has the registration forms for the students willing to work on farms stated that there had been no demand for such forms. It was estimated that about twenty- five per cent, of the students at­ tending the Exeter H. S. were boys from the farm and now engaged in farm work. In view of the fact that most schools will re-open Sep­ tember 3rd it was decided to re­ open the Exeter schools on that date. In order to cooperate with the action of the Department of Ed­ ucation special consideration will be given to those pupils detained thro’ farm work. A framed picture of Miss Vosper, for many years a beloved teacher of the Entrance class in the public school, was presented to the Board by Mr. J. Senior. The secretary was instructed to voice the appreciation of the Board to Mr. Senior. The picture will be hung in the room in which Miss Vosper taught. The mittee several ed and Accounts lows: R. G.

Wethey, Jr., of don, who since the beginning of the year has been in England with her husband returned home last week and is at present visiting her father- in-law, Mr. E. J. Wethey, Sr. For six months Mrs. Wethey was en­ gaged as an inspector in a para­ chute factory and before leaving for home the girls of the factory pre­ sented her with a miniature para­ chute.. Mrs. Wethey heard and saw only a little of the bombing of Eng­ land as she left there a few days after the present bombing began. The trip across the Atlantic was made in little over a week and the weather was quite cool. Her hus­ band as a member of the Canadian Ordnance Corps has been very busy, working overtime to keep up with his duties. The War Time Committee is about to take up new duties by embark­ ing on a program of promoting the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Certificates, seeking to make it a regular habit for people to invest their savings in this way. Many people are already doing this and they find it surprising what a reg­ ular purchase of stamps will amount to in a few weeks. Representa­ tives who had volunteered to help this work wqre here from Kit­ chener last week and talked the matter over with a number of the War Board. The board is now considering the personal of a com­ mittee to push the sale of these certificates. The treasurer acknowledges the receipt of $46.80 from the Exeter Branch the net of ten boys of effort but for others as well where they have assisted ' in the varied program to make money for this work. of the Canadian Legion, proceeds of a bingo game days ago.
