Seaforth girls have a very good team and they showed good sports­ manship throughout the game. The Wingham girls have a good group of players but they were lacking the practice that was necessary to win the first game. At the end of the first half the score read Seaforth 13 and Whigham HIGH SCHOOL 9.

Catherine Keating We were always intrigued by the classified ads in the mechanics maga­ zine offering, for a small sum, to put your name on a couple of hundred mailing lists, Receive Gigantic Mails, these ads used to say, for only 25c. We could never quite figure out what the big attraction was in receiv­ ing gigantic mails, but presumably there is an attraction, or no one would be sending along the two bits. Per­ haps gigantic mails have an attrac­ tion for lonely souls, or those who have no friends who know how to write. Or perhaps the self-important typos think it adds to their prestige to receive gigantic mails, even though the said mails consist entirely of cir­ cular letters and illustrated pamph­ lets. Sometimes we wonder if some kind soul sent in our name with a quarter and there by put us in line for the mail bonanza. For if anyone ever re­ ceived gigantic mails, it’s us. Every­ body and his aunt; seems to have us On their mailing list, including a, whole regiment of people we’ve never even heard about. If a few more people in the country received as much mail as we do, they wouldn’t have to raise the postage rates.

There are several accepted methods of thawing out frozen water pipes, and using an open flame is not one of these, except in cases where there are no inflammable materials to be found. Hot water is the easiest meth­ od of thawing out frozen pipes, and especially when applied in hot com­ presses or when poured directly on the frozen pipe, if that is possible, There are folks who prefer to use an infra-red or heat bulb to thaw out pipes, but this can be slow and tedious, There are folks who swear by an electric heating pad for this same purpose, but likewise, there arc those who swear AT this system. A blowtorch can be a great help but hero again you run into tile danger of the open flame igniting all inflam­ mable materials in the immediate vic­ inity. However, this can speed up the job considerably, if it is a safe place. The pleasure of thawing out frozen pipes is usually to be found in tear­ ing up the floor to get at hidden pipes that were inadvertently located where even the termites couldn’t ’find them. However, Jack Frost did, and so up comes the floor and the home becomes a mess. lem, and ngahi may wo ask your co­ operation in preventing fires when thawing out frozen water pipes and plumbing. With a little bit of perser- verence you, too, can survive till warm weather and come out of hibernation^ none the worse for the temperature.

The meeting open*, cd with "O, Canada’’, The minutes of the last meeting were read by the sec-, rotary, Jean Irwin, and declared ad­ opted as read by Catherine. The program then got under way, Many of the performers were on stage for the first time, proof, of the talent hidden among our numbers. Madeline McKinnon did justice to her good Scotch name by dancing the Highland Fling. To complete the ef­ fect Bill Connell accompanied her on the bagpipes. Next came a vocal solo by Margaret Perry, *Tm in Love with Vienna.’’ She was accompanied by Helen Haines and also sang "Bonny Doon.” Joyce Hoffman and Eleanor Smith played a beautiful piano duet. This was followed by Jean Rintoul singing the popular "Heart of My Heart” ac­ companied by Winona Reidt. Their encore was "It’s Been So Long”. Bruce Robertson and his guitar drew enthusiastic applause with "Mansion on a Hill”, "Wanderin’ On”, and "There Stands the Glass”. Louise Jef­ ferson entertained with a vocal solo, "Winter Wonderland” assisted by Grace Thompson. Another solo, "I Be­ lieve” was rendered by Noreen Weiss, assisted by Muriel Harkness and was much enjoyed as was their encore. "Molly Darling”. A vocal duet, "My Happiness”, was well done by Vera and Ruth Sharp, accompanied by Marilyn Widdis. They also gave an encore. Miss McGregor and her senior dra­ ma club rated another hand for their presentation of a scene from "Julius Caesar". Those taking part were Roger West as Brutus, Ken Holmes -as the dead Caesar, George Hall as Mark Antony and several others. All de­ serve great credit, especially Ken. The Journal was read by the editor, Mark Antony—I mean -George Hall— still in his toga. He presented .4 very interesting report besides the enlight­ ening gossip column. Critic’s remarks were made by Mr, Madill, who was much pleased with the meeting. The meeting was closed with the [National Anthem, with Neil Eadie -at: i the piano.

Street Winglum just to find out what But so far we’ve never it. Take the pile on. the of us. Here’s a little paper from a Canadian f riend of Senator McCarthy, suggesting in several places that Hon. Lester Pearson (and everyone else who doesn’t agree with its editor) is a fellow-traveller, or a least a tool of the Reds. On the masthead it says "subscription rate $2.00 a year”. They never got $2.00 from us, but they send the thing anyway. Here’s a release from the Holstein- Friesian Association of Canada tell­ ing us all about the AU-Canadian Get of Sire by A.B.C. Reflection Sovereign. There’s other bits about Spring Farm Juliette and Woodyglen Queen Maizie and. Spruceleigh Fond Hope Minor, undoubtedly very celebrated person­ ages in the Holstein world. With im­ pressive names like that we can’t help feeling that it must be a lot of bull. Next comes two full foolscap pages from the Consumer Section Marketing Service, of the Canadian Department of Agriculture,, which is anxious to tell us about soups. On reading down the page we find that the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agri­ culture feels that chowders are serv­ ed all too rarely in Canadian homes, and that they are concerned about this because chowders are so rich and nourishing As a chowder lover our­ selves, we must take a bit home, to the wife. It might convince her of the foils* of not serving chowders of­ ten enough. Then there’s a script from a well- known encyclopaedia' publisher stat­ ing boldly that school children can­ not hope to achieve “A” grades with­ out at least, an average of one hour of parent-supervised study at home every school night of the academic year. Not so boldly stated but inferr­ ed nevertheless, is the idea that an encyclopaedia, is necessary for "A” grades, too. This one would make a good ad at the usual rates, but it says "for immediate release.” Next come some figures on traffic fatalities in Ontario fluring the year 1953. We find that there were 1,079 people killed in the province in motor accidents during 1953, .an increase of 6.8% over the 1952 figure. Farther down it says that mileage driven in­ creased 10%, which might mean that we’re holding down our own, depend- ; ing on how you look at it. Accident ; figures are depressing at the best of ; times. Here’s news from the Canadian Red i Cross that the Russian Red Gross will help in tracing any of our friends" '■ who are missing in Russia.

This past week we have had some very cold weather and on any number of occasions the mercury dropped to zero or below, as most householders and motorists will agree. But, when when the mercury starts to drop, the tempers start to rise as the problems associated with cold weather start to pile up. This is the time of the year that water pipes freeze up, batteries give up the ghost, and toes, fingers and cheeks freeze if you aren’t care­ ful. It can be a hazardous time, too, for many people become careless when thawing o*ut frozen plumbing systems. And when the temperature The moral of the story then, should be to use a little foresight when you instal your plumbing so that you can get at the pipes in case of freezing. There have been cases where weld­ ing equipment has been brought in to thaw out pipes, and this entails hooking the electric equipment onto the pipes and turning on the power generator. So much for frozen household plumbing. How about your car? It always pays to have your car stored indoors, but in any case always be sure that it has been equipped with light oil and grease and that the radiator has been filled with anti­ freeze that is frequently checked for it’s ability to withstand severe temp- erature drops. The battery can cause a lot of trouble, and this season of the year is usually the severe test. If your car won’t start in zero weath­ er, look first at the battery. It some­ times pays to take the battery in­ doors in the evening in cold weather, in order to prolong its life and give your car an extra boost in the morn- sheets blankets pillow slips made right here in Canada Long-wearing luxury is the big feature this winter!
