My speech was a roaring sue- cess. You know, the speech on Good Reading Habits, to our honor students, I mentioned it last week, Yes, it went well! Does anyone know anyone who wants a slightly used ex-school teacher? I haven't received an official communication from the school board yet, but I understand they had an emergency meeting right after my speech and drew up the appropriate charges of mop- ery, gawk and intellectual man- nutrition, When I began to write the speech, I couldn't think of a Si ngl e Good Reading Habit. Then, dimly, from my old health class in public school, they began to filter back. Rule: When reading, the light should come over your left shoulder. It's very awkward if your left shoulder happens to be higher than your right. Unless, of course, you are an Arab and read from right to left, then I presume it should come over your right shoulder. Rule No. 2: Always read in the bathtub, when possible. Somebody once said that the ideal education would be a boy sitting on one end of a log, and Mark Van Doren, a great American educator, sitting on the other. My notion of a great educa- tional advance would be a class- room with 35 bathtubs, and up on the platform a super-tub, in pink mother-of-pearl, for Mr. Smiley.

Burt The Belleville all stars ar- rived on schedule and took Lu- can to the tune of 11-3. The Cen- tralia pee wees, who were sup- posed to be very poor players, beat one of the Lions House league teams 11-0. Next time, if there is one, the Lucan Shamrock pee wees are going to try their luck at it and I've got a hunch that things will be a little different.

For your birthday and Valentine gift, select an AMETHYST—the stone of this month $2,00 and up_.......7/ .,, Watch for the Red Light! 1 "'I lk Commencing Sat. Feb. 8, LET '-• 401,-' on Open Bowling Saturdays t60)01 — and Sundays, the Lucan Lanes 44.7, will offer prizes to those who get a strike on a flashing red light. * Lucan Lanes Norm & Myrna Schell 227-4236 Lucan At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer may look very much like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference. Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form. As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can com- pare it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers. Every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaran- teed plant food elements in the right proportion. When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any broadcast-type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to the largest) of free-running SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fer- tilizer is nutritionally balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in another with SHUR-GAIN. Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN —the finest fertilizer for your good earth!
