the whole school asssembles in our
gym to sing carols.
On Wednesday afternoon, the whole
school assembled again, only this time
not to sing carols, but to watch an
extremely exciting game of basket
ball between the men teachers and
the school’s senior boys. As the stud
ents waited the entrance of the teams,
cheerleaders dressed in white skirts
and sweaters with red scarfs did their
antics. Then, to every one’s surprise,,
in bounced Santa Claus—and he was
bouncing, too—a basketball. If I didn’t
know that it really was Santa, I’d
swear it was Mr. Jackson, our agri
culture teacher, dressed up. Anyway,
the teachers proved too fast, or too
tricky or too tall or something—they
beat us to the tune of approximately

you going to the dance? With whom?”

o-o-oAttraction of Things Old and New
In the last fifty years people’s at
tractions have been greatly altered.
In these fast-moving days the old
proverb, “Early to bed, early to rise,
makes a man healthy, wealthy and
wise,’’ has nearly become extinct. It
seems now that the later we stay up
the more wealthy we become, the
more we are in school the wiser we
are and few seem to be healthy under
any circumstances. We are now at
tracted to midnight shows and dances
which last well on into the morning
and instead of sleeping soundly when
we do go to bed we eat sleeping pills
like grandfather ate peppermints.
When morning comes, instead of
getting . into the high-buckled boots
or a hoop skirt, we jump’quickly into
loose-fitting skirts and baggy pants
and shirts. Why don’t we still wear
the garments of our ancestors? Simply
because they no longer hold any attraction for us. It shouldn’t take us
as long to comb our hair this morning
(for those who have any), because
no one is wearing long, flowing hair
but in its place, hair cut similar to
the bristles on a shoe brush.
On arriving for breakfast, instead
of eating a large bowl of coarse cereal
we ‘find ourselves with some finely
divided mush probably covered with
sugar. The food that grandmother served grandfather no longer appeals
to us, besides, we would never have ,
time to chew it or we would be late (
for work.
We hurry out of our long, rambling
house, much different from the fancy 1
two-storey houses of the past, to our
offices where we shall probably work
in co-operation with some huge ma
chine which probably does most of the

Stops Mastitis or your money back! g
“NEW" GARGETEX contains combined antibiotics with the anti- ■
bacterial chemical “Hexylresorcinol” to give the Canadian farmer the g
most effective medication yet developed for the treatment of Mastitis. =
An important feature of '‘NEW" GARGETEX is “Nixine Base”, a g
penetrating water soluble vehicle that carries the medication into g
ithe smallest Crevices of the udder. This action assures- complete
internal udder medication that will not leave the pockets of mastitis

thinking, and all we have to do is
feed it the necessary materials. To
day we won't work until the work is
finished, but will only work the seven
or eight hours required by the union,
Grandfather used to work because he
liked it, but now we just work towards
the big, fat pay cheque at the end of
the week.
When the long, eight-hour day finally comes to an end, we madly rush
out of our place of employment so
we shall be home in time for a tele
vision program which we feel it would
be disastrous to miss. We don’t walk
home either, for invention has made
it possible for us to drive sixty miles
an hour in a beautiful automobile
with bent fenders.
At home in the evening, we draw
the chairs around the television set
until it is time to go (bleary-eyed)
to bed. Garden parties and parties in
the home no longer hold any attrac
tion for us. Even the great sports
such as baseball and hockey cannot
arouse us out of the house, because
we can see all these things on the
television screen. As midnight draws
near, we are again ready to start the
same routine as the day before and
the day before that. Perhaps these
new attractions hold'more in store for
us than the things our ancestors did
which We call ‘‘old’’, but somehow
I believe we are missing something.
