Perhaps no period in the life of each person is so well remembered and so often re-lived in song and story, and with such nostalgic feelings, as the good old school days. It does not matter a whit, whether the reminiseenes are about a little red school house or a palatial city school, they are just as much cherished by the graduates from one as from the other.

It is in our schools that our child. rya are taught how 'best to work and play together, discipline and punctual.. ity, orderliness and• cleanliness, proper respect for elders and constituted authority and practices. The graded courses on study gradually teach our children how to study anti understand the facts and theories of the various branches of human knowledge. Much of this basic knowledge will be retain- ed for use throughout life, but the abil- ity to think and reason' quickly and well, about any proposition as pro- blem, is the reward of a good educa- tion, However, it is seldom the important things about our school days that we reminisce and talk over with our old school pals whenever we met in litter life.

There is also a sizeable northward flow of talent across the border.

A scale drawing of the ship, designed by Captain Evans Fox, RCE (R), is on display in the special aircraft tent, west of the electrical building at the CNE. The big "moon job" will be 200 feet long and 50 feet wide at the base, Capt. Fox said " it is not the gener- ating of enough energy to get to the moon that troubles us, it's what we have to go through to get there that makes the task so olifficult. We are • hoping to use atomic energy to give US power, but our biggest problem is reit frigeration. The ship will have 'two hulls two feet apart and in between them the space must be kept refriger- ated. "And it will take a lot of refriger- • ation. The 240,000 mile jaunt to the moon takes the, ship through a 10-mile layer of heat at 170 degrees Fahren- heit, and when it gets 50 miles from 'earth it hits a 25-mile layer of atmos- phere at 212 degrees, which has been registered on a thermometer in a V-2 nicket. Thonoh there has been nothino that far away from earth to test it, scientists estimate the temperature hits 900 degrees before the moon is reach- "But when it hits the 25-mile layer, the rocket is travelling at seven and a half miles a second, so it gets thnoagh that area in 10 seconds, When it has travelled 200,000 miles from earth. the roekto will oet into the moon's gravity field and can coast the remaining 40,000 miles, When it ap- proaches for lauding it will be trav- piling only mile and a half a second and coming in backward. The jets are turned on and the ship comes in for a nice, soft landing on /its jail," The ship he has designed is capable of carrying a crew of font' and 10 oth- ers, It all sounds like quite a fantastic dream to come true in two years, said Capt: Fox, "but if we have luck in controlling atom energy and we get good co-operation throughout Canada, don't be surprised, Don't be a bit sifr- prised," • * ki‘ :TadQe7 The Glove Factory of W.

Boyle Hoeing the Beans lr We had a rainy spell just when I - should have been hoeing the beans this year. Then the harvest tame on mid I still had nu help and couldn't get down to the bean field, I walked over the other flay and the weeds in the central part of the field had taken over, almost completely. It was a shame because • the beans were very good but those weeds were certainly squeezing them out. tweed that's drying a bit soon takes the inch and three quarter inch stalk 61 a I started with the hoe, but a lialf ledge from a lit ow, I work down a row, - 'wishing Ta r ty that the bean hadn't been -worse than the one I had to coo- , i.inl with as a boy. If I pulled them . ‘,tit, the roots came along destroying !tlie bran plant and leaving it exposed 1 at Ow hatoin. By thomtime I had few beans clean- aging sight to look down the long tAl up. In fact, it was a most discour- row and realize that by dint of hard work I might get the whole patch fin- ished in three weeks. The weeds were simply impossible, Then I started with the scythe, clip- ping' the weeds at the top of the bean plan, This made them look okay, but it would mean that we will have a terrific time harvesting the beans this Pail, I was toping with the idea of plowing the bad section of the patch tinder, when an idea carne along, I got the corn sickle and started hookiog the weeds at ground level with it. It worked like a charm. The beans are finished now. I lan't blame thy father for trying to pawn the hoeing off on to me, when I Was a boy.

It was a back- breaking task, especially on the days when a fellow knew that the fish were biting in the river. When the old sun poured flown hard your back was just about breaking from the strain, it was a horrible thing to just think of lie deep hole by he river and the shade of the old willows. Hoeing with somebody to accom- pany you in the field was not too bad, but witch you had to pike down that long row all by yourself it was pretty thick. Many's a time I've taken a swipe at a hill of beans in sheer ang- er. Sure enough, my father would ap- pear and walk down the row. He would stoop and pick up a bean plant, squint at it and say, "Your eyes must be getting bad or did you think that was a thistle or something." He always seemed able to pop up just at the wrong time. If I chanced to fall a victim to the sight of a cool shadiness' of the row of elm trees lie would appear. If I skinned across to pick sonic carrots for munching, his hat would appear over the fence row. He was never very cross about my tardiness, In fact he once admitted to me that hoeing was one job on the farm that he detested, Tooth Paste Tooth Brushes Nyseptiol .......39c Baby Brush 25c Dr. Wests 25c 35c, 50c Prophylactic 50c Rubberset 49c Tek 29c Dr. West's Denture Plate Brush 50c Plane l Cleansers Polident 39c, 73c Stera-Kleen 35c, 75c Dentu Creme , . .59c Sodium Perborate 25c KERR'S DRUG STORE PICKLING and PRESERVING SUPPLIES SPICES - SACCHARIN ESSENTIAL and AROMATIC OILS Zestful Refreshing Flavor SAFE, EFFECTIVE SQUIBB DENTAL CREAM MacLean's 29c, 47c Iparra . 29c, 49c Kolynos , 29c, 47c Forhan's 29c, 49c Colgate's . . 25c, 45c Listerine , 29c, 45c Mouth Washes Listerine, 29; 49; 89c Lavoris ..27c, 49c, 93c Astringosol . . 45c 75c, $1 25 Hygeol 35c, 60c rol n n n n n n n n n n n n • n n n n See the new White Enamelled Inglis Glass-lined flat-rate WaterHeaters on display in our store Rangettes Hotplates Many styles of Lamps McGILL Radio Service J poni,..........nium.....uumm.. a • DENTAL NEEDS • a .
