games were played last Thursday night in the local
armouries against Goderich, the locals dropping all

An Eye to the Future
Long term planning helps you to raise more
than. the average for your area. This planning
for the future should especially be applied to
the five basic factors of farming. They are:
Land, Livestock, Labour, Capital and Size of
Farm or Farm Business. Every farm is differ-
ent and has its individual problems. So it's
up to you to make each factor work hard for
you.
'Many farmers have found it helpful to talk
with their Commerce manager. He represents
a bank that has for many years taken a keen
interest in promoting better farming and in
looking after Canadian farmers' banking needs.

THIS KIND OF TARGET PRACTICE
costs money
Yes, Junior scored a bulls-eye all right ... right on your pocketbook.
You won't be called on to replace it yourself, but as a citizen of
Ontario and one of the owners of Hydro, you pay for the damage
in the long run.
Actually, the insulators themselves are comparatively inexpensive.
But the damage that can result from a broken insulator can cause
serious power interruptions by cutting service, on that line.
Hospitals may be deprived of power at a critical moment. Machines
in factories may be stopped. Homes and farms may be affected,
too. There is the added hazard of fire and if the wire falls to the
ground, property and lives are endangered.
When an insulator is smashed, a crew of men and a truck travel miles
to locate and repair the damage . . and that costs money. Hydro
appeals to you to help to prevent the deliberate or careless destruc-
tion of Hydro property . .. your Hydro property.

"AT WINGHAM"
By The Georges, Hall and Porter
Goderich District Collegiate Insti-
tute soul-lied the knell for Wingham's
basketball aspirations on a gloomy
seventh day of, February.,
The Wingham girls went down 7-4
in a game that started slowly and
ended more slowly. Jean Bain's bas-
ket and Jean Hobden's two foul shots
gave Wingham their only score. Jean
Irwin and V. Leitch bagged five and
two points respectively for Goderich.
Although it was not the best game
the girls have played , offensively,
their defense was extremely effect-
ive.
Playing the second game of the
afternoon, the Wingham Juniors lost
a heartbreaker by one point. Pete
Campbell's 9 points and Cather's fine
guarding were not quite enough to
keep Goderich from squeezing out a
22-21 victory. Bob Dochstader, led the
Goderich attack witii 9 points and
was followed closely by Venn and
Skelton with five and four points
each.
In the first quarter of the final
game, our Seniors stood around with
their mouths open watching Goder-
ich's display of trick passing, and
scams and Wingham ripped through I I
their shoddy defence to rack up 21
points. Seaforth managed to bag only
6 more. Ken Saxton's wizardy around
the baskets gave Wingham 21 of its
points while Hanna racked up 9. Jac-
obi with 14 points and Stewart with
8 were the stars for the opposition.
The final score was 40-37 for Wing-
ham.
that Seaforth had few opportunities
to get away any shots. It looked like
Wingham's game until the final two
minutes when Watson sank a foul
shot to give Seaforth a tie. Keyes,
Watson, Lane and Stevens did all of
Seaforth's scoring while Brophy,
Hobden and Bain compiled Wing-
ham's aggregation.
The third game saw the Senior
Boys tangle in the best game of the
day. The cocky Seaforth team boast-
ed a 31-19 lead at half time but in the
second half they came apart at the

From a Scrap-book of Philosophy
as collected by Catherine Keating
Some people get old too soon trying
to act young too late. The way to get
ahead is to use the one you have.
Some are bent from toil, others are
crooked from trying to avoid it.
Remember, when you point your
finger at someone, you have three
fingers pointing at yourself.

the Literary Society. The meeting
was opened with the singing of God
Save the King, after which the sec-
retary, Sally Lou MacWilliam, read
the minutes of the last meeting.
These being adopted as read, the
student body settled down to a long
and very enoyable program.
Bill Coultes and Ken Holmes, ac-
companied by Neil Eadie on the
piano, sang "The Rose of Tralee"
very beautifully. It isn't only girls
that can sing and play as these three
proved very ably. At this point the
president, John Lancaster, excused
himself, and Sally Lou MacWilliam
took over as master of ceremonies, or
whatever it is.
Mr. Madill presented shooting bad-
ges to Neil Stainton, Ray Lott, and
Ron Murray. Teachers are advised to
think about this when marking these
marksmen's exam papers. Bill Con-
nell, our Hieland Piper, played "A
Hundred Pipers" very nicely on his
bagpipes ,He wasn't decked out in
kilts, though; the weather isn't just
right for bare knees.
Sally Lou next offered a pair of
spectacles which had been found
lying around the school. It was rum-
oured that they were Mack Camer-
on's but he was too shy to go up and
get them, Maybe he couldn't see who
it was holding them up there, being
without them.
A renowned group of Grade XIII
male actors, direct from Hollywood,
presented a stirring portrayal of a
hill-billy wedding under the direc-
tion of "Cecil DeMille" Nimmo. "Her-
man" Matheson was forced into mat-
rimonial union "until the court doth
us part" at the point of a shotgun in
the hands of "Pop" Hanna with
"Flossie' Brown who encouraged him
with a rolling pin, The "Rev." John
Lancaster officiated. "Frank Sinatra"
Lane, dressed in a most appropriate
suit of heavy winter drawers, sang
about chickens during the signing of

The following accounts were paid:
the register. After this the 2 oppon-
ents were presented with a pair of
boxing gloves each ,and Flossie be-
gan to make good use of hers, in a
battle to decide which was going to
wear the pants in that family. At this
point Director Nimmo burst upon the
scene and was absorbed into the en-
suing brawl. the dust had
cleared away the participants could
be seen gathering themselves up and
dragging themselves 'away.
Isobel Dennis entertained with a
piano solo, "Canadian Capers," after
removing a pitchfork which was ly-
ing on top of the piano. She gracious-
ly responded to an encore with
"Nola."
Grace Thompson, accompanied by
Louise Jefferson on the piano, sang
"It is No Secret" very sweetly.
Next came another gem of dramat-
ic achievement, "A Case of Suspen-
sion," presented by the Junior Dra-
matic Club under the direction of
Mr. Ferguson. Two fossilized old
educationalists regain their youth
when unwillingly forced into a frivol-
ous and forbidden party of young
folk. Those taking part were Joyce
Thomas, Barbara Allen, Donelda Mc-
Donald, Catherine Keating, Joan
Thomas, Grant Merrick, Neil Eadie,
David Webster, Bob McMurray and
Ken Holmes, The journal, a regular
and looked-forward-to feature of the
Lit meeting, was read by, the editor,
Gordon Lane. Mr. Higenell gave the
critic's remarks and the meeting
was closed with "0 Canada."
"AT SEAFORTH"
by George Porter
On Monday, February 4th., Wing-
ham District High School travelled to
play their arch-rivals, Seaforth. At
three-quarter time our Junior Boys
trailed by only 9 points then Seaforth
put on a concerted drive and finished
the game leading 44-29. Murphy and
McMillan led the way for Seaforth
while Pete Campbell paced Wing-
ham's team.
The Seaforth Girls managed to eke
out a 12-12 tie in the second game of
the afternoon, For Wingham, the
checking of the guards was so good
shooting as the visitors racked up a
score of 183, The second quarter was
a different matter, with Wingham
netting 13 points and allowing Goder-
ich only 7 more. Goderich, however,
never lost its lead, and the final
score was Goderich 37, Wingham 30.
Coach Higenell discovered that Gor-
don Lane is as good a forward as he
is guard, when Lane scored 6 points
in the last quarter. He followed the
usual stars, Hanna and Saxton.
