Regt., R.C.A., held their re­ gular Monday night training on the 17th May and this time we cannot say attendance was worth shouting about. It must be the spring or something, but whatever it is this unit is look­ ing for a better turnout next week, which, by the way, will be on Tues­ day, due to Monday being a holiday. 0-0-0 The main subject taken was gun drill. A command post exercise took place out in the training area with all hands taking part. There was' a fly in the ointment however for there were two guns but only one gun trac­ tor to pull said field pieces, due to the fact that one truck broke down at the last moment. Nevertheless our leader carried on somehow. If this sort of thing continues we expect to see the return of horse-drawn artil­ lery. • The signallers were in full swing, except for the fact that Bdr. “Mighty" Stapleton was absent due to an acci­ dent at work. We understand he had a finger amputated. Sorry to hear that “Mighty". Now as for the signals, it was very good, as for the equipment I the inspection team was here the following day and they commented that the wireless equipment in this unit was the best in this area. Watch out for swelling chests signallers. You look like a flock of pigeons, 0-0-0 The latest flash from the men’s canteen is that Gnrs. John Sinnamon and Grant Merrick will not be at­ tending Niagara-on-the-Lake Camp this summer. It seems that the boys folks gave them a lesson on dish­ washing at home and4' they changed their minds about the whole business. 0-0-0 , The Battery baseball team will be starting practice this week and we will see how things shape up for the season. If all turns out as planned it should be quite a team and bring a lot of credit to the Battery and community. 0-0-0 Well, fellows, the Meaford shoot will be coming off the week-end after next, so all hands better be there. Af­ ter all, the guns don’t load and fire by themselves. The day they do we will be among the ranks of the un­ employed. It should prove to be a good week-end’s fun and good train­ ing. Be seeing you then. i i 8 i ■ ■ Streets and Sewers Discussed as Council H. S, Board Meet (Continued from Page Opp) both streets were at present dead ends, and there was little traffic on them to necessitate paving. It was suggested that if the High School board would pave the streets themselves, the town would maintain them. It was decided that the Utilities Commission should go ahead with and lay in water to the new school, and that the question of roads should be taken up at a later meeting. Account Presented An account for $18,895,57, represent­ ing 60% of architectural fees in con* nection with the new building, was received from the architects, Kyles & Kyles. The board agreed to pay same as boon as money is forthcoming from the debentures issued at the present time, The resignation of H. C. Anderson from the staff was read by the sec­ retary, W. A, Galbraith. After some discussion on the matter it was de­ cided to ask Mr. Anderson to with­ draw his ■ resignation in-view of the fact that he has one more year of teaching to complete before retiring on. superannuation pension. A request from the Turnberry school area board was read, asking that it be, allowed to purchase desks after the new school is built, The school area board also asked permis­ sion to hold shopwork classes Jor grade 8 students at the high school. The high school board was agreeable to selling desks, but deferred action on the shopwork classes until the sit­ uation in the new school is clarified. Approve School Reports Charles Coultes, representative from Morris, asked if school reports from the high school could be published in the local press. He said that it used to be a practice in the past to publish such reports, and asked if the prac­ tice could be continued. Principal W. S. Hall stated that the high school was at liberty to publish school reports,, but that the Depart­ ment frowned upon the idea. Upon1 discussion of the* question, other board members expressed their approval of the idea, and it was de­ cided to publish such reports in fut­ ure, listing the names of those pupils who passed in alphabetical order, and omitting the names of those who fail­ ed. Consider Names for School The question of a new name for the high school^ more representative to the district than its present name, was discussed by the board and names suggested by the students were pre­ sented by Principal W. S. Hall. Among the names suggested were: Hillcrest, Maitland, Queen Elizabeth, North Huron/Nbrth East Huron, Un­ ity, North Huron and South Bruce and Huron-Bruce. Secretary W. A. Galbraith pointed out that approval of the Department would be needed before a new name is finally chosen. Board' members decided to think the matter over and make a decision at their next meeting.

SEND in your STORY, PICTURE Prospective brides are invited to submit wedding photographs for publication in the columns of the Advance-Times, along with an ac­ count of their wedding. However, due to the fact that the paper’s budget for photographs is used entirely on news pictures, we are forced to make a charge of $2.50 for each wedding photograph published, to cover the cost of en­ graving. This charge is made for the photograph only; there is no charge for publishing the wedding Story. Brides who are interested in having either a photograph or a story of their wedding published are invited to contact the Advance- Times office to make arrange­ ments at any time prior to the wedding. Such action will insure that ..the story or picture is pub­ lished as soon after the wedding as possible. Three-burner range.
