Home And 'School Social

ladies had to use a yellow card
in place of blue. In fact it was
a lady, Mrs. Wes. Atkinson, who
won the gentlemen’s prize.
After the Euchre there was a

Children Have 'Swell'
Time With Mumps
By Miss Lina Abbott
Though the sky be dark and
dreary,
With snow and rain and cold,
A “swell” time some Lucan
children
Are having, I am told.
But’s it’s not at show’s or parties
Or dressed up as a clown
That these children have the
“swell” time,
—The mumps have hit the
town.
Two Smart Boys
Holy Trinity Sunday School
like most Sunday schools uses a
screen for the hymns and for
recording the attendance for the
day and for the previous Sunday.
When the flu hit the village
the attendance of Holy Trinity
dropped one Sunday from 53 to
35. The numbers were scarcely
flashed on the screen till one
smart boy was waving his hand
frantically and said, " Mr. Har
rison 35 it 53 turned backwards.
This reminds us of the in
spector who visited a country
school and among other "things
was lamenting the lack of notice
of the average teen-agers. To
prove his point he asked the
children to give him any num
ber between 1 and 10'0. As the
children gave their numbers the
inspector wrote them backwards
on the board.
At last it came Joe’s turn but
Joe was slouched down in his
seat busily trying to corner a
fly with his ruler and apparently
not paying the slightest atten
tion to what was going on in
the room.
“Well my boy what is your
number?” repeated the inspec
tor.
Joe parked his gum, put down
his ruler, untwined his feet,
slowly arose and m u 11 e r e d,
"Seventy-seven. Now turn that
one backwards if you can.”
The Inspector looked at his
watch—decided he had over
stayed his visit and made a hasty
exit.
short business meeting, an ad
dress of welcome from the prin
cipal, Mr. Morgenroth, and an
impromptu speech from the chair
man of the board, Mr. White.
This was followed by a sing
song and a dance.
As the crowd was smallei’
than expected there was an
abundance of lunch left over.
All those who attended had a
very pleasant evening and hope
the Home and School Club will
hold many more such pleasant,
“get-to-gether” meetings.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO ?
At times most of us have looked at purse, wallet or
bank-book, and wondered: “Where does the money
go?”
You may have wondered, too, where does our money-
go—the money we receive for gasoline, fuel oil,
lubricants and other products we sell. Well, last year
each dollar we received went this way:
CRUDE OIL and the other raw materials we bought
took half of each dollar.
OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses took
more than 25 cents. This was the cost of searching for and-
producing crude oil, and of manufacturing and market
ing the hundreds of products we supplied for thousands
of uses. Throughout the year high quality products were
made available where and when you needed them.
7.64 cents
»
TAXES to provincial and federal governments took
7.64 cents. And this did not include gasoline tax,which—
depending on where you liver-took from 22 to 33 ceats
out of every dollar you spent for standard grade
gasoline.
TO REPLACE worn out equipment and to make sure
that we can supply your needs in the future took
3.59 cent§.
DIVIDENDS paid to shareholders for use of plants and
equipment amounted to 3-45 cents.
/
' | 50.47 cents
TRANSPORTATION of products from our refineries to
marketing points took the next big bite of the dollar.
Products moved over wide areas to serve every com
munity in Canada.
