Western the regular 10 th were Councillors Wingham, Ont., October 20th, 1945, The Chairman, Public School Board, Exeter, Ontario* Dear Sir.: As President of, the Western On­ tario Athletic Association, I would like to point out a few details of what we are endeavouring to do for the younger generation in throughout Western Ontario. When this Association was ed it was our main object to gor sport for the youth of Western Ontario. Last winter you will recall we sponsored midget hockey which took in boys from 14 to 16 years of age. This summer our organiza­ tion sponsored juvenile hardball, ladies’ softball and men’s softball, But the our we : for lowing is our idea—that each school ip every town and village within- sport form- spoil- as yet yve have done nothing for younger boys and as this was intended idea from the start, feel that we must do something the public school boys. The fol- our coverage form hockey groups in their respective schools which, wijj include all public school boys. We feel if groups could be arranged in each school, with the winner de­ clared about the first week in Feb­ ruary, at that time the teacher in charge would Pick the best team available from the whole public school in each town and we, in turn, would arrange groups with nearby schools and a playoff could be ar­ ranged, We would be willing to present a trophy to the winner as well as a banquet at which we would en­ deavour to have several of the Na­ tional hockey league stars present, I might say that girl's teams can be arranged in much the same way and we would be willing to present a trophy to the winner in their series as well. We feel that possibly you could have one of your teachers or principal take charge of these boys and girls throughout the win­ ter months. If you see eye to eye with us on this promotion we would ap­ preciate an early reply and then I feel the proper thing to do is to call a meeting with a member of each school board within our present. Awaiting I remain Yours in Western Ontario coverage an early reply, sport, Athletic lAss’n, Tory Gregg, President. •1 I it V x j tax roll, passed on motion by Tuck­ farm sales active IN STANLEY TOWNSHIP Property transactions in Stanley Township have been numerous of late.

A few drops of Vicks Va-tro-nol in each nostril is usually enough to bring this comforting relief. 3-Purpose Medicine.. .Va-tro-nol is so successful because it does three important things: (1) shrinks swol­ len membranes of the nose; (2) helps clear out pain-causing congestion and (3) soothes irritation. Many sinus sufferers say it’s, best relief they’ve found. Try it I VA-TRO-NOL An Irish priest had been transfer­ red from one parish to another.

You used to be stocky and now you’re thin, I’m surprised, Mr. Canning.” “But I’m not Mr. Can­ ning.” “Look, You’ve even changed your name.” A lady who had engaged a new cook made a tour of inspection after she had kept her for a week. She found a policeman locked in the pantry, “How did this man get here?” she asked* severely. “I’m sure I don’t know,” was the cool reply, “he must have been left over by the last copk,” H. H. Hannam is President and Managing Director of the Canadian Federation of Agri­ culture. In a message addressed to farmers, Mr. Hannam says: "The farmer who is wise will look ahead and plan carefully. "And in these years when prices and returns $are more satisfactory than they have been, when labor is scarce, when farm machinery is restricted, when building materials are not readily available, a good course to follow would be that of putting a substantial share of the year’s earnings into sound securities such as Victory Bonds. These reserves will not only provide a measure of insurance against dif­ ficulties in less favorable years, but at such time when supplies are favorable and costs will probably be lower, their purchasing power will « be greater and return from them correspond­ ingly increased. "We believe this is good planning from the farmer’s standpoint. At the same time, it is the very best of planning from the standpoint of the Nation.’* FARMERS SAN BUY HISTORY BONUS on convenient deferred payments THROUGH ANY BANK 4^ PARKHILL HOME DAMAGED BY FIRE The Parkhill firemen were called to the home of Mrs. G.
