enough excitement in the holiday
Beason to last the year round. But
after all's said and done, the real fun

spend with our family and friends at

—the happiest Christmas ever!
It may not sound very glamorous
but the fact is that most of the last
minute Christmas shopping is done in
drug stores and hardware stores. Hon
estly, I find them about the likeliest
places in town for gifts tp fill a

Every winter Bill stores two or
three gunny sacks in the trunk of the
car. They serve him well whenever the
car gets mired in mud or slush, By the

useful gift for any motorist.

WHAT I AM NOW, COMPARED
WITH MY FUTURE
What am I now? I am “nobody.’’ If
you were to ask someone on the street
if he knew who I am, quite probably
you would receive a negative answer.
If you were to look through the names
of authors of great books, you would
not find my name. If you knew all the
members of parliament personally,
you would not know me. Certainly,
there are numerous people who see
me every day yet don't know my
name. With these statements as proof,
I think I can safely say, I am
“nobody.”
Now you must ask, "What are your
ambitions for the future; I suppose
you would like to be famous, and
have your name known throughout the
whole world?"
At one stage of my life, I would
have agreed with the statements
above. I wanted to be famous, to write
great books, to be great in govern
ment, to have my name written
across the world.
After considerable thought, however,
my attitude has changed. My ambi
tions for the future are simple. I want
to live a quiet simple life, giving assis
tance to my neighbors whenever pos
sible. In this way I hope to find hap
piness. There is no happiness in vain
glory. You can’t have friends when
you consider everyone else subordi
nate to yourself. It is impossible to
be of help to others while one is
constantly engaged in a struggle to
win fame and glory. In this struggle
everyone else would be ruthlessly
trampled under foot.
In the future, therefore, you may
still never know my name. My name
will never be written in bright lights
across any city’s dusky horizon. In
years to come I shall still be "nobody,”
yet I hope that there will be some
who, even though they don’t know my
name, are glad that I existed.

baptismal service, baptizing his grand
daughter, Jayne Ruth, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gaston, of Toronto.
Calvin Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Miss Coutts
One of the newcomers to our High
School staff, is Miss Norma Coutts.
Miss Coutts was born in Wingham
and attended high school here. She
then attended Stratford Normal
School and went on to finish her de
gree at the University of Western
Ontario.
Miss Coutts has taught public
schools in Orangeville and Wingham,
and has also taught high schools in
West Lome and Tilbury. •
At the Wingham District High
School, Miss Coutts teaches English
and social studies. Her pet peeve is
the students who kick books off the
racks beneath the desks.
Miss Coutts enjoys all sports but
her favourite sport is badminton. She
enjoys listening to both classical and
popular music but she does not like
the loud jazz music which is so pop
ular with the teen-agers.
I am sure the whole student body
will join with me in wishing -Miss
Coutts that her best teaching years
may be spent at the Wingham District
High School.

Purina Steer Fatena is a combination of proteins,
built to supplement roughage and grain feeding.
Grain alone lacks balance between carbohydrates, proteins and
minerals. Steer Fatena helps supply this balance and makes tihe
grain and roughage more palatable. Thus more gains result from
the same amount of feed, and cost goes down.
It is the cost of a pound of beef that counts.
When you feed Steer Fatena the pound of
beef costs less.
