Taught hy Mr. Wooden^ this instruction is pres­ ented as part of (Cadet training. „ .Last >tiday night, the Paper Staff sponsored one of the most successful parties in recent school history. This was a combined skatiijig party find dance. The all- inclusive price of fifty cents also (provided a bottle of pop and a doughnut to‘ each student. The school., orchestra played many favourite dance selections, A new project edited‘by Jim Crocker^ head of the paper staff, was. introduced to the students just prior to the Christmas holi­ days. .This project took the form of a student newspaper appropri­ ately ' named “The Little Ink Spot’?. The issue carried not only an interesting editorial but also a column on plans for the Christ­ mas party, This event, now a tradition at the school,. included a turkey dinner to which at least two board members came, and a showing of “Pride and Preju­ dice”. The rest of the paper con­ sisted of literary and humorous sections, The paper staff believes that the issuing of these papers will provide a larger number of stud­ ents with the opportunity to write articles for student publi­ cation as well as give other mem­ bers of the paper staff the chan­ ce to edit an issue. Sportsmanship One of last year’s students, Elizabeth Hunter, wrote the fol­ lowing article on Sportsmanship which appeared in The Ink Spot: -‘What is true sportsmanship?' Is it cheering excessively for your home team? Is it praising the efforts of' your team, while disregarding the hard work of the opposition? Does it exist only in sports or does it apply to all phases of life? . To me, sportsmanship is the’ ^ability to co-operate With other" tpeople .in sports, in classroom [■activities an at social functions. The person- who admires, the ability of his opponents, who will do his part to help his class­ mates and who is willing to sac­ rifice a little of his own fun for .the enjoyment of others is the perfect sport. Spectators criticize players for being poor sports, yet often their constant nagging helps the play­ er to lose his temper. Teams 7 often have a poor reputation (in regard to sportsmanship) be­ cause only one of the players is a poor sport. Unless there is full co-opera-. tion among the students- of a classroom, classes are tedious for both the teacher and the pupils. The student who refuses to participate in the discussions in class often antagonizes his fellow classmates and provides more worry for the teacher. Lastly, the wallflower at the party who refuses to join in the games adds more trouble to the frustrated hostess. At school dances, unless everyone will co­ operate in the popular mixing games, the dance will not be a Success and no one will enjoy himself. I believe that to enjoy life, fully one must be ready to co­operate and be a goo'd sport at all times,” Colt's Revenge A SHORT STORY By HELEN TAYLOR Rippling muscles suddenly contracted to hardened steel under a tawny coat, and a hurt­ ling form was violently ejected from- the tree to land squarely on the back of the unsuspecting col|. One lightning-swift slap of that raking paw on the colt’s heck, one wild scream of pain from the terrified animal and it was all over—so the mountain thought. •But he did not reckon on the justified wrath of the herd leader. Thundering into the clearing, he charged straight at the hissing cat. The magnificent black stallion missed his mark as the lion leaped nimbly aside and crouched-, to spring, his yel­ low eyes glowing with a fierce lust for blood. If he had landed on the en­ raged stallion’s back, the out­ come of the fight would have been dear. But Fate did not will this. The cat’s foot slipped on a rotten branch and he missed his goal, only to become the target for a pair of murderous hooves. Tramping, stamping hooves pummeled the tawny, screeching mass of claws and fangs until it was a lifeless thing. Then, sniffing contempuously at the cat, compassionately at the unfortunate colt, he raised his. clarion voice in a trumpet­ like challenge and returned to his herd triumphantly. THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, IMS New ARA Regulations Govern Pond Grants Two new regulations have been added to those governing the subsidizing of farm ponds by the Ausable River 'Conservation Authority. Farmers wishing grants on ponds must make application through the authority member in their municipality and they must agree to spread and level the earth from the pond.

Brydon Taylor and Marwood Prest were returned as chairman and vice-chairman for the com­ ing year, The other trustees are iCalvert Nichol, Frank Dickens and Elmer Shepherd. Neil Mc- Rapn is secretary-treasurer. The 'board decided to cancel the accident policy on the child­ ren which pays up to $50.00 medical expenses for any one ac­ cident which happened at school.

The board will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 8:30 p.m. in the town­ ship hall at West McGillivray. Night Depository Eliminates Risks To help merchants and other businessmen avoid the risk♦ of keeping cash overnight or over long weekends the Bank of Montreal’s Exeter branch has in­ stalled an “after-hours” deposit­ ory . unit. This night-depository system enables customers to de­ posit their business receipts at any hour (of the day or night and has already proven a_ boon at ’■ other' 'important B of M branches throughout Canada. ■Operation of the unit is very Simple. ‘Each night - depository customer ds given a key to the depository and a small canvas wallet fitted with a lock. Upon unlocking ‘ the depository, the customer places the wallet in the opening. The Wallet then slides down ia chute and comes to rest in the safekeeping unit inside the bank. In the morning, bank officials collect the wallets and record them. The customer can then call at any time to make hds deposit in the usual way. Al­ ternately, a customer- can in­ struct the ibank to open his wallet and make the relative deposit entry in his name. / - “The 'installation of a night depository at ,this branch,” states manager C. EJ1:’ Shaw, “is part of the B of M’s plan to provide many of its offices from coast to coast with the new system.” will be forwarded by the auth­ ority member to the engineer. .The pond site must be approved by the engineer prioi- to construc­ tion of 'the pond. “Requirements for grant: “1.

Price Supports Topic > For Forum Discussions The farm forum topic for this Monday evening “Wiho benefits from Price Supports?” caused considerable discussion b amongst the forum members. ■ Fairfield Fann Forum ■Opinions varied at the Fair- field forum held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilson. Some thought when prices were changed the middle man .got the profit. Others thought the con­ sumer paid more foi’ the goods he buys. Price supports were all right for the taxpayer but floor and ceiling prices should be adjusted oftener according to manufact­ urer's prices; others thought the taxpayer paid more to help pay for .price support. ; The wageearner is affected Wihen there is a surplus and- prices are lower but if there is no sup­ port the producer will not <be able to buy from the manufact­ urer and as a result the laborer is out of a job. Some thought the supply and demand ruled, rather than price supports but the latter keep prices more or less stable and therefore keeps production on an even keel. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mel King. Elimville North Forum The concenses of the Elimville North Farm forum meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Johns Sr. was that everyone (has benefitted from price supports because there is not the price fluctuation that there used to be; the wage earners are benefitting because they get their butter and other products cheaper than if there were no supports. They felt that farmers have benefitted from price supports in Canada as they have been used to keep farm prices from drop­ ping to distress levels although Parr Line Forum The Parr Line Forum members were agreed that price supports helped everyone—the. consumer, the taxpayer and the wage-earner and the overall cost* of price sup- :ports 4s very little in comparison to the benefits they give. As for tihe farmers it .prevents ■them from going all out for one crop of product which may be at a high price thus preventing surpluses. Price supports have al­ so been stabilized.
