Yes, we actually walked down the corridor of the new wing of the future Exeter Public School. Rapid progress has been made the last three weeks; the roofers are working on top and _as soon as the heating pipes under the floors are welded and tested, concrete floors can then be poured in the classrooms. We understand a terazzo type floor is being laid over the concrete— a far cry from splinters and cracks. Dp you remember this poem? “When I was at the party,” Said Betty, aged just four; A little girl fell off her chair, Right down upon the floor.” This same incident came to life last week at school when one of the over-sized chairs in Mrs. Jamieson’s room swallowed up Roxanne Beavers. Only her flail­ ing arms and blonde hair were visible, but Roxanne wasn’t like Betty.—she laughed with the crowd! The anti-gum war has taken a new twist. This past week the staff has been literally and fig- uVatively “knocking the tar” out of a few culprits. Large barrels of delicious chewy black tar are being need in the roofing process and the temptation to chew a bit Is just too much for some of the boys. It hasn’t gummed up Bob Kirk’s voice .box however-— he still enjoys a friendly chat with his neighbour in class, If a passing motorist happens to see a sprightly lad rhythmi­ cally waving his arms on Mr. Wilson’s fire escape it's Floyd Blanchard. He believe in the power of music and cleaning the brushes is just play when you do it to the tune of "Goodnight Irene”. Speaking of fire escapes—we had a fire drill at the school this week and 330 pupils cleared the school, .in 45 seconds—a commendable record. Each week brings a change in enrolment but few seats get a chance to stay vacant for long. Clive Ruggles has moved to the Bend; Wendy and Peter Hill have ljjft for Texas. There’s a new arrival in the Kindergarten —Joan Dettmer. US I-Ied- liere their Hed- i A good mulch to hold new terrace is made by cutting waste grasses or hay with a field forage harvester. The chopped material can be distributed with a manure spreader or run again through blower or .chopper at terrace site.

BENNETT Agricultural Representative Most cattle are still on pasture which is holding up exceedingly well due to the fact that there have not been any real hard frosts as yet and there still seems to be considerable nutrition in the grass. Sugai; beet and turnip harvest­ ing are still the order of the day and a number of silos were filled this week although the corn is rather dried up. Husking corn has matured better .than had first been expected in some local­ ities but little if any has been picked to date as farmers are letting it dry as much as pos­ sible.
