NEW SUBJECTS MAY MEAN ADDITION TO HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Miller Procter, Chaiman of the High School Board, speaking at the Commencement Exercises on Thurs­ day night, told the audience of the changes that are taking place in the school curriculum in High Schools and Collegiales throughout the pro­ vince. The Department of Education have added music, manual training, and household economics. Music is now being taught in our school since the opening of the fall term, but before manual training and household econ­ omics can be added it will be neces­ sary to make changes to our present school as it is already being used to capacity. This may mean the build­ ing of an addition. If this is neces­ sary the Board, no doubt, would fav­ or the building of a gymnasium at the same time. The department will pay part of the cost, 60% up to $20,000, for any addition that is required to accommo­ date the teaching of the new subjects. They also pay 50% of the cost of. equipment up to $4,000. Goderich Collegiate Institute are making the necessary changes to teach these, new subject's. They are raising the roof of the gymnasium so as to add two rooms and are making other changes, the total cost of the building changes and equipment will be over $20,000, it is said about $22,- 000. Seaforth Collegiate Institute will add a wing to their present school* which will»have two rooms and a gymnasium. It is expected that the amount necessary for the addition and the equipment will be over $20,000. Walkerton are voting on a by-law on Feb. 21st and if it passes they will build a new high school which will cost <$90,000. The local High School Board have given the matter some consideration, and no doubt, in the near future will consider it further. In any event, to teach the new subjects some change will have to be made, most likely an addition. sp * WEEDS Speaking to the Ontario Field Crop and Seed Growers’ Association, Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, stated that the present Weed Control Act is inadequate and that there must be a more rigid en­ forcement of the act. We attended several nominations in the townships and at every one of these the matter of eradicating weeds was discussed. The weed menace ap­ parently, from what we could gather from the speeches at these meetings, is greater than ever before. The far­ mer had to depend on many things for a successful crop but when he has to fight weeds as well his job is made much more' difficult, The best method of destroying weeds along the road-sides should be used but just wdiat is the best method. There seems to be a difference of op­ inion. A great deal of thought is be­ ing given this problem by Township Councils, County Councils and appar­ ently the Minister of Agriculture is out to enforce the act and strengthen it Control of weeds is most, important and it is with pleasure we note that the Minister of Agriculture is taking a strong stand. * * * * The groundhog saw his shadow on Wednesday last. According to the old legend we will have six weeks cold weather. It may be that Saturday and Sunday are the exceptions that prove the rule. ‘ $ No way has been found to treat the ice jam in the Niagara River. Nature will attend to that in her own way one of these days. sjc * $ * Bingo Jias taken a hold in Winni­ peg, according to reports. It is said that 3,000 play this game daily. s|s The Senate is taking a month’s holiday. There are many ’who feel they should have a permanent vaca­ tion. 4? * * * Last week there were two major airplane accidents. It seems the. big­ ger they are the harder they fall. * 5|S * * Hitler has gained complete control of the Germany army. We wonder just what that will mean. When 11 Duce gobbled up that power in Italy it was not long until the conquest of Ethiopia took place. ❖ The Elgin School Trustees and Ratepayers’ Association want the On­ tario Government to assume 50%. of all educational costs. One thing is sure, property is now .taxed to the limit and any additional expense in our edcational system should be the Government’s responsibility. * * * It is now play-off time for hockey in this district. For the first time in years our team is in there. Turn out and give the club a break. Hitler has a plan to ban air raids on open cities in time of war., It is a splendid idea and one to which all nations should agree. This wholesale bombing pf the civil population Is a most terrible thing. JUNIORS SUFFER ANOTHER LOSS Loose Clearing Responsible for 11-2 Loss. The Wingham Maitlands, local W. O.H.A. Junior entry, journeyed to Ripley Wednesday night and walked into an 11-2 beating. The Redmen were far too big and fast for the loc­ al kids, who had another of those de­ fensive relapses in which they persist in clearing the puck to some oppos­ ing player near their own net. Need­ less to say, such kindness and fore­ thought on the part of the Maits was welcomed’ by the Redshirts but not reciprocated. The youthful Maitlands opened the scoring, Baker doing the trick and things looked hopeful for the black­ shirts. However, .on their first trip to the ice. the baby line of Carter, Biggs and Murray suffered a little stage fright and the locals ran in three goals on them. However, from then on the midgets played the best hoc­ key of the two lines, the first-string­ ers being inclined to bunch up too much and also failed to back-check A HYDRO LAMPS The Lon# Life Lamps ** IP IE Sgned WOT &ry?.ntcod 0 Cterta* 0/ «Wr Lampe ( Wingham HOME AFTER HOLLYWOOD The Earl of Warwick is on the high seas to-day, headed for his famous English home, Warwick Castle.

For the Ripley crew Bill Jewitt, a Lucknow boy, was outstanding, with McLean, H. Harris and Iiodgins be­ ing very effective. Jervitt scored four goals himself and passed for one.

In our opinion this anti­ interference rule is not enforced near enough, No player.has the right to touch an opponent- with his stick or' body unless the latter has the puck and violation of this rule generally causes tempers to rise higher as a game .goes one.

GODERICH JUNIORS BLANKMAITLANDS The local Juniors filled in a date at Goderich Friday night and as expect­ ed dropped another game, this time 8-0. On heavy ice the local light­ weights never had a chance against, the heavy home team. Most of the goals were scored by batting in roll­ ing pucks. Two Brussels boys, Low­ ery and King, helped fill in for the Maitlands, who were short-handed due to the High School Commence­ ment. Both boys did well and despite the score most of the kids played not too bad hockey. Bill Lepard played a fine game in goal and surprised the Dodgers who had beaten him twelve times rather easily here. Another player who turned in his best per­ formance of the year Was Stewart Forsyth. For Goderich the West­ brooks and Art Doak Were, outstand­ ing. • Wingham!

And that’s what we think, too. “Jugt look at the thrilling streamline of the new all-steel body. And notice how, by rounding the radiator grille and add­ ing those horizontal hood louvres, Chevrolet has modernized the whole effect. “Then take the interior. It’s so neat and ‘tailored’ it makes me think of our own living room ... fine upholstery ... lovely appointments . . . everything in taste. And remember, Chevrolet reinforces all this beauty with roof, walls and floor of steel;. . with all windows of safety glass! “I don’t know much about mechanical details but, I drive our Chevrolet and from a woman’s point of view, nothing could be easier to handle or safer. Fin­ ally, (I look after the family budget), I’m sure nothing could be easier on the pocketbook!” You, too, will be proud to own this new Chevrolet. Come to our showrooms to­ day—see it, drive it, and compare prices before you buy. THE SYMBOL OF SAVINGS Penalties—Lowery, W. Westbrook, Bill Westbrook. DEACHMAN SAYS FARMERSHAVE LITTLE REVENUE Says Girls Are Leaving Farms Farmers, said R. J. Deachman, loc­ al Federal Member, aren’t getting enough money. He said it loud and long, last week, in the House of Commons, and be-’ fore he finished he suggested, in a non-partisan wray, that the Govern­ ment should select a group of farm­ ers, provide them with a simple cost- accounting system, and find out ex­ actly what an average farmer did make in a year. That is, the Government might find out, barring wind, drought, hail, wet weather and a few other little Items that made of farming a series of lit­ tle surprises. Farmers, pointed oiit Mr. •Deach­ man, today have such, interesting work. Like potato bugs. They never knew what was going to hit them. Is Serious Situation In any event, he emphasized, the position of Canadian agriculture ’Was the most serious factor in Canada’s economic position. It must be. For didn’t the 1931 census report show that there was a decrease in the num­ ber of girls of marriageable age . liv­ ing on the farm? "And I want to tell you,” he said, “when the female population declines on the farm, it is a serious factor in the social life of the community. Our women make the social life.” Out of that came his conclusion that the ’ girls of marriageable age were going to the- cities, following the higher standard of living that the ur­ ban communities afforded. The point was, he said, there was no accurate, information of the depth to which the farmer’s standard of liv­ ing had fallen. The nearest he could get to it was by taking the total in­ come from agriculture, as reported by the Bureau of Statistics, dividing it by the number of farmers, and de­ ducting the more or less theoretical cost of their living. By.this involved reckoning, he figured the average far- jner in a year had a net return of slightly under a dollar a day. Should Know Income “Oh, I know,” he said, “when you .discuss it, they say the farmer has his house and his barn and all that kind of thing. They say down here, ‘Oh, he’s got all that.’ But that isn’t the point.,. The circumstances demand Easier, tiptoe-pressure clutch operation. Wear it greatly reduced. No lu­ brication required. that we should know exactly what the farmer’s income amounts to.” He figured the cost of the econ­ omic survey • would be trifling. He suggested the cost-accounting system might be applied to 100 or 1,000 far­ mers—in any event a representative number. He believed, it should be ap­ plied over a period of two or three years in the interest of accuracy. There were, he believed, branches in the Ontario Department of Agri­ culture that in association with the Federal branch, could supervise such an investigation, without the setting up of additional Governmental mach­ inery. Man: “Do you believe in luck?” Friend: “Well, I should say I do. See that fat woman in the big hat and the red dress? Well, I once asked her to be my wife.” FASCISTS JUBILANT AS CHARGES AGAINST LEADER ARE DISMISSED ; Kh w J' r KSJjV Sa Bp cHaww. frrz/TzAa ____Mwm Utilities Commission Phone 156, ** Lampe power Dr, J, G.
