AWE TRANSPORT
Workers suitable for farm work, re-
siding in urban areas of Ontario, will
be provided with transportation to
farm jobs anywhere within the prp,-
vince, it was announced today by
Hon. Milton F. Gregg, Minister of
Labour,
Earlier this week, Mr. Gregg an-
nounced free transportation for farm
workers to farms within the borders
of Alberta and Saskatchewan. As in
the case of the two Western provinces,
the east of the free transportation will
be shared equally by the Federal
Government and the Province of Ont-
ario, the arrangement being made
under the Federal-Provincial Farm
Labour Agreement.
The offer, of course, is mainly de-
signed to encourage job, applicants in
urban areas to farm work,
The Minister reported that there
were jobs available in every agricul-
tural area throughout Ontario and
full details of the jobs were in the
hands of the National Employment
Service. He urged anyone residing in
Ontario presently looking for work,
who liked farm work, to get in touch
with the local Employment Office.

THE O.A.U. VISIT
by Eleanor Wightman
On Friday, May 16th., all the school
buses of W. D. H, S. journeyed to
Guelph to the O.A.C. It was open
house for High schools and a great
number of schools were represented
there besides Wingham. The place was
literally swarming with high school
students; which serves to remind me
that the first place we visited after
registering at the gymnasium was
the Agriculture Building. Here we saw
honey extracting equipment and
learned how it is used.
Before going any further I think I
should explain that the boys and girls
were separated. The tour I describe
will be that which we girls, guided by
Mrs. Williams (and our own ideas),
took.
After dinner (compliments of the
Ontario Department of Agriculture)
all the students gathered in the Mem-
orial Hall where we were welcomed
by Dr. 3. D. McLachlan, president of
0. A. C. He introduced to us other
campus personalities, including the
presidents of O. A. C. and MacDonald
Institute.
The rest of the afternoon was spent
trying to see as much as we could as
quickly as possible. We visited Mac-
Donald Institute; went through Mac-
Kay Hall, went through the barns
watched a livestock show, and saw
how the spectrograph is used in deter-
mining trace elements in plants Ad
soils, Later we went through the
green houses, marvelling not only at
the beauty of the flowers, but also the
variey of cacti and unfamiliar plants
in the tropical jungle,
The last place we visited was O.A.0
We were running short of time so we
only saw through the main building
We saw most of the rooms and had
a glimpse of an operation on a dog
Our guide didn't want to take us into
the post-mortem room because on the
previous day two girls had fainted
We assured him that we wouldn't do
such a silly thing, Reluctantly he
agreed to take us, only to find when
we got there that there was nothing
doing. Already it was 4 p.m. and we
scrambled back to the buses wishing
we could stay and see more. We rea-
ched home in record time . • . tired
but happy? Oh yes, but awfully hun-
gry too!
AROUND SCHOOL
by Catherine Keating
In a recent election, held at Wing-
ham District High School, the Liter-
ary Executive was chosen for the
1952-53 term. Don Dickinson will be
our president replacing John Lancas-
ter. First and second vice-presidents
are Mary 'Totting and Bill Connell.
Ruth Webb was elected secretary and
George Porter, treasurer, The tradi-
tional prophet's address will be writ-
ten by Clifford Coultes. Ray Lott was
chosen president of the Boys' Athletic
Society and Eleanor Browne will be
president of the Girls' Athletic Soc-
iety,
John Hanna and Eleanor Wightman
were chosen by middle and upper
school for general proficiency. They
are both credited with high marks in
School work and were co-editora of
the High School column this past
year. Eleanor has played in the school
bugle band for more than a year and
has sung in the Glee Club and Music-
al Festival under the guidance of Mrs,
McDougal. She has also worked on the
Literary Executive of the school. John
Hanna, one of the school's best ath-
letes, played on our basketball and
football teams. John has always been
interested in all kinds of sports and
has been on the school's athletic exe-
cutive. He was chosen to attend the
Leaders' Club meeting sponsored by
the London Free Press and Western
University. John and Eleanor will re-
ceive awards next year at the com-
mencement,
The term, 1951-52, has proved a very
successful one for Wingham District
High School and with this new and
very able executive, 1952-53 will be
just as good and better.

JOKES
by Clifford Coultes
Bob Westlake: I'm afraid I have a
terrible inferiority complex.
Mr. Maynard: Don't worry about
that my boy. You have a perfect right
to it.
The monkey suits and sore arches
that the organization of the cadet
corps has forced on us reminds us of
the old, old story about the two pri-
vates who were returning to the camp
on foot one evening.
"Hey!" shouted one to his compan-
ion, "here's a dead animal on the road.
It's got two white stripes."
"Don't touch it!" said the other. "It's
either a skunk or a sergeant."

car a front t

c`. , saved me days,
perhaps weeks, of work"
After returning from his first trip to
the West, a business man wrote his bank:
"I arrived having no idea where to start
in to make the connections I required.
The thought occurred to me that perhaps
the bank, which has been. very helpful
to me on numerous occasions, would
give one some guidance. Mr. W.
proved to be of tremendous help. He
introduced me to the people I should
have met and saved me days, perhaps
weeks, of work."
Every chartered bank works this way.
Whether you walk into your neighbor-
hood branch or one a thousand miles
away, you will find the same full range
of banking service—and the same
readiness to help.
More Truck for Your Money
Check the comparative value of Chevrolet trucks, and
you'll see for yourself how Chevrolet gives you far
more for your money. In design, in craftsmanship, and
in every last detail of their construction, Chevrolet
trucks are engineered and built to unsurpassed
standards of value.
Rock-Bottom Operating Costs
Many thousands of truck users have proved to their
own satisfaction that Chevrolet costs the least of all
to own and maintain! Valve-in-head economy, in the

Chevrolet's special 4-way engine lubrication system

Lower, Slower Depredation
Records show that Chevrolet trucks consistently bring
more money at re-sale or trade-in than any other make
of trucks which cost about the same when new. Chev-
rolet's market value stays up because the value stays in,
Here is further evidence that Chevrolet is the best truck
buy — and that's why more truck users buy them!

Engineered and Built for Your Loads
Chevrolet trucks are engineered to your payload re-
quirements. You don't waste money by buying "too
much truck" — you don't risk work interruption or
slow downs by buying "too little truck." Frame, axles,
springs, body, brakes, and power are part of a well-
balanced team that does the job at lowest cost.
