BETH BATTEN, teacher at Usborne Central School Four a.m, and all is well, Your hour of hall patrol is ended. It was an interesting time, visiting 320 children sleeping in six rooms. The senior boys have gone to sleep after having had their deck of cards confiscated. Why confiscate a deck of cards? The staff needed them! There are still some giggles emanating from the senior girls' room. One does not need to flash the light to identify the girls. Who else? ti The squeak of a dozen ski-doo suits competes with the moans, groans and bumps of flailing arms in room IX. The junior boys miss the comforts of home. Carpeted and heated floors give a little more comfort to the primary children. Put wait, wasn't one of these children to have been gotten up at eleven o'clock? Oh, well, it's too late now. We are relieved that the junior girls are asleep. They had spent a sad evening because one had missed a birthday celebration. Her friends were suitably sympathetic. Now look in on the custodian. IDA ' =Mineral Oil Close.Up g oothpaste Listerine There he is in the boiler room in an easy chair surrounded by a makeshift cardboard partition. How peacefully he sleeps. We are safe in his care. (How true! Who cleans up when someone brings up, dries the children's clothes, is at everyone's beck and call, stayed up the previous night, and on Thursday magically produced a bag of candy?) We must check the staff. One is on duty at the telephone, one is askeep on a bench in the auditorium, three are 'resting' on nine chairs in the staff room, three are asleep on the floor of the kindergarten entrance, two are playing cards. There must be some more some place! We hear that all principals kept their cool and handled the situation most admirably. Our principal was most efficient and kept things running like clock work. Wednesday night he left the staff room to search for a head resting place but left behind a hidden alarm clock set for 2:45 A.M., no doubt to keep the remaining staff alert. It worked, although several seconds elapsed before one came back down. Schools have neighbors; neighbors who labor in with packs on their backs. The packs contained bread, butter, soups, jam, cookies, hot pancakes, dishes and more. The Grade Eights are likely still licking their lips over the pancakes. The jam helped to keep the peanut butter from sticking to one's palate. The rice krispie cookies presented a problem. It was felt that if we served them to one grade, the rest of the school would riot. The staff acted with great nobility. We saved the situation by eating them. May all sacrifices be so pleasant. We were sorry to leave Thursday afternoon without By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Mr . & Mrs. Clifford Abbott Lucan were Sunday guests with Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Davis. Mr. & Mrs. Dyer and Sheryl, Sarnia, were guests with Mr. & Mrs. Harry Carroll recently. The Carroils later left for Detroit to visit Mr. & Mrs. George Carroll.

Cottage Service Sunday was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Heber Davis. tasting the two pies which were brought in. Thursday afternoon a weather report indicated that we might be left in the school with 100 pupils for two more days. Consequently an order for supplies was sent to town. What topped the list? Ban and razor blades. (One staff member offered to shave the principal with a butcher knife.) There was nothing humorous about the trip made by the ski-dooers Tuesday afternoon to bring food to us. It is no exaggeration to say the men risked their lives, Nor did they stop at Tuesday, they continued through Wednesday and Thursday. To all who helped in any way we are very grateful. The children were superb! Travel talks at school The Library club at South Huron District High School has arranged a series of travel talks to be given by various members of the teaching staff.
