Metal sash will be used throughout the building, and the single-storey wing, containing the shop and home econ­ omics rooms will Miave a wall con­ taining only windows and dark green panelling above and below. Mr. Kyles pointed out that while the Holoplast panels, which will be used in the construction, are not any cheaper in cost than brickwork, they will effect a saving on construction costs, in that they can be assembled quickly and easily. He estimates that delays and high labor costs can be eliminated in the building by using the panels and metal sash, which be fitted together, almost in manner of a prefabricated unit.

He went into the question of super­ vision of the work, and informed the board that his men would supervise construction as it was deemed neces­ sary. He told the board that if they wished further supervision of the contractor, they would be free to engage the services of a clerk of .works, who would be on the job at all^times. Other matters in connection with the new school were discussed, in­ cluding the removal of the temporary buildings, the system of clocks to be used, and the advisability of having an intercommunication,system.

"When he went to the Coronation last year, his first purchase was a Windsor uniform, complete with knee breeches. “Now that he’s been made a racing commissioner we bet he has an order in already for an Ascot suit.

"We don’t know what the genial member from Wingham knows about racing—except from the tote window end. Or what he will contribute to the proceedings of the racing commission. But one can’t help but feel good about his appointment. “He has given generously of him­ self in the public service for more than 10 years. He has had that great quality of always being able to smile. Behind his offhand front he has done a lot of hard work. He has been a good member, and it is pleasing to see that a good pasture has been found for at least one veteran."

His chance to get even came during rifle practice one day. "To-day” said the Sergeant, “we are going to take up the fine points of tho rifle, especially the sights”. Turning to the recruit he asked "What is a fine sight, tell me?” "It is an enormous boat on fire”, began the recruit, "crammed full of sergeants, 400 miles from land In a hurricane”, 0-0-0 Former Wingham Man' Passes in Galt John Hewer, a former resident o Wingham, died at his home in Gall last week.
