Principal Claude Blowes re­ ported an enrollment of 29 9 with 16 teaching days in March and an average attendance of 259. Numerous supplies were re­ quested and approval included in the requests was a picture of the King and 7 bibles for the teachers. Chairman W. E. Middleton was instructed to secure a guest book and table to be used at the opening of the school and to be maintained throughout the year. The sidewalk leading to the school is badly broken and it was decided to petition the town council to make the necessary repairs. It was also suggested that a gravel walk should be laid between public and high schools. Mrs. Sanders took exception to a service club proposal to have children from the school act in traffic patrol. In the dis­ cussion it was decided the Trus­ tees had no authority to desig­ nate any child to police the. intersection at Main Street. Tire' responsibility for accident was too great. A blocked, drain Saturday caused flooding at the school and Chairman Middleton paid tribute to C. A. Cann who spent most of Saturday in working with the men to clear the trou­ ble. The chairman reported that arrangements had been made with Comstock to lease the old school for six months for $1,500. The rest of the program in­ cludes some fine choir singing of popular and semi-classical numbers featuring solos, quartet­ tes and groups. The choir will be assisted by Miss Eileen Mor­ ley of Ailsa- Craig, a talented 12-year-old, who will sing dur­ ing intermission. , Send Donations To Local Red Cross The present Red Cross Canvas is causing some confusion in the j rural areas due to the fact that letters have been sent out from London soliciting donations for the Red Cross This was done without the knowledge of the Exeter Branch.
