KING RETIRES AS
PRIME MINISTER
Mr. King, 73, now and heading for
the political shadows, told the Com-
mons he would not be sidelined if war
broke out in the near future.
He said so indirectly. But there was
no mistaking his meaning.
His retirement as prime minister,
he said, will depend partly on "cir-
cumstances in other parts of the world
and . great matters of state which
no prime minister can shirk ip times
like the present."
That, as was interpreted immed-
iately, referred to the trouble-packed
international situation.

In reviewing sortie the insurance
policies the board felt that came of
the school buildings were not insured
for enough in -case of less by tire. Re-
cent e.timates on 1 raien scheole
would at present hieli prices i,t bui1,1-
•ing cost as high as $22,000 to build
today. As a result some of the insur-
ance policies are to -be increased.
A petition to keep No. S 11 open
and a delegation requesting the m-
ooning S 10 was received. The
Board carefully considering the views
put forward in respect to each school.
After exploring all points and angles
the Board decided not to open above
schools in Sept. and arrange for trans-
portation of the pupils to other schools.
The average cost in 1047 to operate
-one school was $2300. The prospects
are that 1048 cost will be $2500 per
School, based on new increase in sal-
aries,
The average cost per pupil in the
area in 1947 was 8115 each, but a
school with only seven on the roll the
average cost per pupil would be $857.
The Board -does not like the idea
of having to close any school, but it
is felt a better all rated trainite; can
lac given in a school WW1 a larger at-
tendance, as Well as making a saving
to the ratepayers.
A new revised -set of books of
Keowledge with a set of Lends an d
peonies have been ordered for each
school for Sept.
CONVICTED FOR
RECKLESS-DRIVING
George Habkirk Fined $100 and
License Suspended .
A fine of $100 was imposed on
George S, Habkirk of Seaforth, by
Judge T. M, Costello, after convicting
him of a charge of reckless driving,
after a two day trial in county judges
:criminal court at Goderich, on Wed-
nesday. His car license was suspended

elance hall north of Wingham, driving
at a speed of 30 to 35 miles per hour.
Bright lights of an approaching car
hindered him front seeing anything
until' lie struck a bridge. He thought
the approaching car would hit his, and
he turned his car.
He climbed out of the back of the
car after the accident, He said he had
drunk two bottles of beer at his home
and four during the afternoon.
According to the evidence of Chief
of Police- T. W. Platt, the car, after
allegedly hitting Barnes, who was on
the sidewalk, struck the east side of
the McKenzie bridge, on Highway
No. 4, climbing 21 feet up elle slanting
steel girder, and turned over on the
sidewalk, The accused, the chief tes-
tified, had" been drinking.
Seven bottles of liquor were put in
as exhibits. Arthur Simmons, Wing-
ham youth, testified lie dived into 12
feet of water to recover these bottles.
He did not know what to do with
them, lie said, and later gave them to
the chief,

ican Falls. After a fine dinner, the
party took off on the bus for Queen-
ston. Through courtesy of Mr. Don

the Hydro plant where guides explain-
ed all details. The control room was
particularly impressive with the many
control desks and illuminated signals.

operation during the visit and the
party were escorted right down onto
:the operating floor and later were
shown the huge transformers where
the voltage was stepped up to 110,000
volts. Souvenir books were given to
each member.
Ater leaving- the Power plant, a
visit' was made to Brock's Monument
and most of the students climbed to
the top to view the country. On the
way back to the Falls an opportunity
was given to look over the Whirlpool
rapids. The afternoon view of the Falls

Rainbow bridge and Italian sunken
gardens were fine sights, At 5.80 all
were back in the bus and the run was
back by way of the Burlington cut-off,
At Clappison's Corners a stop was
made for lunch.
After lunch, and before the bus

trip and a presentation was made to
hint by Mitts Jean Hobden, Mr. Gal-
