Our after The Exeter District War Time Committee is continuously receiv­ ing letters from district boys over­ seas in which they acknowledge the receipt of parcels sent by the com­ mittee. Many of these letters are published, but many of the letters are short and contain only the ex­ pression of thanks and appreciation Of the parcels together with their addresses. These the committee are very glad to receive and are nck- nowledged by publishing from time to time lists of those from whom letters have been received. Any changes of addresses are kept in our records, but in spite of every precaution the committee cannot keep the record of addresses com' plete unless parents or friends send in any changes that come to their knowledge. So please see that any known changes of addresses are into the Secretary. In 1945 the committee expects to send three parcels to each of the 150' boys overseas from Exeter and district (which includes Exeter, Stephen, most of Usborne and a portion of Hay), The first of these parcels will be packed and mailed in February, the second in June and the third in October. To do this work the committee will need about $2400, and we hope that individuals and organizations from every part of the district will dp their “share to help this work that is so appreciated by the boys overseas. If we cannot fight, we at least owe it to the fighting forces that they are given every cheer and encouragement that we are, capable of. Donations are acknowledged through the Times-Advocate.

Now the weatherman, his plans he changed, If those young -folks had known it they could have arranged have wended their way home at an earlier time, their joys then would have been sublime, at once the wind began to howl and blow, And it was fierce, I’ll have you know, It just drifted those roads right up to the top, All the party cars just had to stop. I’ll tell you it took a ‘lot of pluck To budge them, they were so stuck, Some of them stalled, something , burned out too, They had to be left, thefe was nothing else to do. It was a terrible time altogether ivs true, One gentleman lost his hat, poor soul, I’m sure by now It has reached the North Pole, It’s a wonder that poor than isn’t dead With that fierce wind blowing around his head. They did not get home until seven next morn, They sure were tired and very forlorn, Some of the ladies, it’s said, didn't arrive home until, the next night, They sure were in a terrible plight And stayed "with friends along the highway, Their husbands came and got them that day With a team of horses and a good 'stout sleigh, They were so weary they wanted no more to roam, Hut thought it a swell place at "Hbme, Sweet Home.”' On week, ing party at the Kirkton rink, which lunch will be served and a social time spent together.

The Mission Circle met Tuesday evening at the home of Rhea Mills. staffa farm forum, meets The Staffa Farm Foruxn nxet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Worden, with 22 present. The topic foi- the evening was’, “Making Rural Schools Effective.” In reply to the question, “How Should the money be raised to provide bettex* schools, better equipment, better paid and better trained teachers?” the gi’oup felt that taxation was the duly an­ swer. All present expressed a will- ingness to pay an increased amount ‘ in taxes for such purposed on two Conditions. These were, that the taxation must be kept within reas­ onable limits and the taxpayers ! must get value fox* their money. Since the larger unit for the ad­ ministration of school affairs has not been adopted in Hibbert town­ ship and siiice those present had had very little information on the subject this question could not be discussed. The members expressed a' desire to become bettex* informed in the matter. Many felt that the teacher of a rural School could play a consider­ able pfti’t in the life of the com­ munity apart from purely school activities. The teacher hag a con­ tribution to make to the life and work of the local church and ought to be interested in, and a part of, the social activities^ of the section in which he or she teaches, One thing vjhich makes it difficult for the community to obtain the bene­ fit of the teacher’s help is the en­ ormous turnover ip teachers. The average length of time a rural teacher stays in a school is one year. No one can become sufficient­ ly well acquainted with a commun­ ity In that time to make much con- ' tribution to its larger life Some thought that part of the fault lay ARTHUR WEBER LICENSED AUCTIONEER For Huron and Middlesex FARM SALES A SPECIALTY PRICES REASONABLE SATISFACTION GUARA NTEED Phone 57-13 Dashwood R.R.
