and alt that thiti thing needed was
one such suggestion to bring quick
action from the farm organiatizons. Al-
ready the foruzns are diseussing the
idea, the federation Units are making

about the idea.
Farmers base their protests upon

On FridaY night of last week a pros,
sentation wee held in the 4000 at:
$. S. No. 4, Grey, in honor of Mr. -7114
Mrs, .John Fraser, who moved from
the 2nd. con, of grey a short time ago,,
Daring the evening a programme
was given consisting of .readings,
singing and instrumentals, after which
an address was read by Robert Mc-
Donald, followed by the presentation
of a lovely writing desk, end table, a
fernery, a 140 table eloth and a tabie-
mirror.
The addrets read as follows:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fraser:
It was with a deep feeling of regret
that we, your friends and nieghbours
learned of your decision to leave the
second line of Grey.
You were always willing to help
whenever the occasion arose, and
have offered your home many times
for social evenings such as this.
There are so many pleasant memor-
ies to recall during the years we have
known you both, and no words of
thanks can express our gratitude for
the part you have taken in the activi-
ties of our community.
We know you are still interested in
the neighbourhood, and always will be.
We will always feel you are part of
us, and will be pleased to have you
come back amongst us at any time.
We felt we could not let you leave
without taking with you a remem-
brance of your friends here, and now
ask you to accent these gifts.
We hope you will be spared many
years of health and happiness, and
will be comfortable in your new home
to enjoy the comfort it affords you.
Signed on behalf of your friends
and neighbours.
Mr, and Mrs. Fraser made a very
suitable reply thanking all those, who
had remembered them and for their
kindness, after which all joined in
singing "For they are jolly good
fellows."
Lunch was served by the ladies and
the remainder of the evening was
-spent in dancing.

The man whose picture belongs here
is not necessarily a Celebrity or a
leading citizen, Indeed, he might be
any one of millions of Canadians.
How did so many people benefit
their communities so greatly? Simply
by insuring their lives! In this way,
they set in motion a series of events
which have far-reaching effects on
themselves and their fellow-citizens.
Take for instance the new high-
ways, schools, bridges, power plants,
homes, hotels, hospitals and other
important works now being built
from West toreoast. Many of these
projects have been financed with
money which life insurance cone-
panics have invested for their policy-
holders,
Or look at the workers streaming
out from some new industrial plant.
They may owe their jobs to life
insurance policyholders who provide
the money needed for investment in
that plant's expansion.
Good health, too, is promoted by
life insurance policyholders. Several
important medical research projects,
Supported by life insurance company
funds, are waging war against polio,
heart ailments, cancer and other
dread diseases.
But perhaps the life insurance
Owner's most important service is hot
any of these things. It is the way he
provides lot his family so that they
will not be a financial burden to his
relatives or the community.
So, if you own life insurailee, be
proud that in all these ways you're
helping to make Canada a better land

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE
HIM SCHOOL
Around School
It seems that the faithful and belov-
ed pupils of Wingham District High
School are not out making news any
more. The fact is: they have gone into
hibernation once more. You guessed
it. Exams; If there is one word in
this world besides "homework" that
students hate, it's "exams." The old
business of staying in at night and
writing out experiments never did ap-
peal to many kids, and I don't think
times have changed any. Why, er how,
would anyone ever get any kick out
of studying? If you ever find anyone
who likes to study, please put him in
a box marked "Fragile" and 'send him
to Wingham District High School.
We'll put him in alcohol and keep him
for future generations to marvel at,
We could name him "Teacher's Pet" or
something silly like that.
Now if we were able to procure, in
some hidden antique shop, a cracked
and finger-marked gazing ball, we
might possible be able to see into the
future, past exams that is. We would
see a successful and crowd attract-
ing commencement, a big dance after-
wards, a gala formal Christmas dance,
and then —wonder of wonders—
Christmas holidays. (If anyone wishes•
to buy a good, used gold fish-bowl
cheap, stick around. Even inverted, it
doesn't show anything more than
Chemistry,, Latin and French.)

Volley-ball Jamboree
Last Tuesday our senior anti junior
girl's volley-ball teams journeyed to
Goderich to the jamboree held in the
gymnasium of Goderich District High
School, There were four senior and
four junior teams from Goderich, Clin-
ton, Seaforth and Wingham. Wing-
ham seniors played with Goderich
seniors first. This was a very close
same. At half time score read 13-13,
arid at the end of regulation time the
score was still tied 25-25. After five
minutes overtime the score read Gode-
rich 35, Wingham 28. In the game
between Clinton seniors and Seaforth
seniors, Clinton was victorious, Goder-
ich and Clinton then met for the sen-
ior championship which went to Clin-
ton after a close, hard fought game.
The juniors played with Seaforth
first. At half time score was Seaforth,
4, Wingham 3, and at the end of the
game the score read Seaforth 15,
farm power plant, In the preduetkin
of farm crops, and as such does not
have to come under the Departtneat
of Highways ruling. They say that
aptually the farmers. are using the
tractors today in the same Way as
their fathers, used horses, Homes do
not need a license, although in many
eases they are a greater risk on the
roads than tractors. They eay seconds
ly that farmers do not• use the roads
enough to warrant the licensing and
further, that when they do use them,
they are usually hauling home mach-
inery or farm produce, One farm fors
um adds that it was farmers who
originally built the roads. Yet another
reason put forth is the fact that farm
incomes are dropping and farmers al-
ready have too many licenses to buy,
It is common knowledge that the
farmers have to cross the road, and
go along the roads to get from one
of their farms to another, or to the
neighboure to help with his work, or
to the mill with a wagon load of grain*
The only difference then, it would
appear, is that this is a motorized age.
When farmers used to do the same
thing with horses, there was not as
many fast cars to offer competition
for the right of way. There is no deny-
ing the farmer's right and privelege
to use the roads for his business, and
now-a-days zou can't carry on your
business completely inside the gate-
way of your farm, If a farmer is
using his tractor as a commercial
vehicle to haul goods for profit, as a
business, then, it is a horse of a cll.&
ferent colour. He should be just as
liable to licensing as a trucker. But
this is not the case with a farmer.
Actually, according to my interpreta-
tion of the Jaw, a small businessman
can use his car as a commercial ve-
hicle, and in some cases have it class-
ed as such with a lower license rate
than that of a passenger car. Actually,
I think there is much furor over
nothing for the Department of High-
ways has made no definite statement
on this idea. But the farm organiza-
tions are doing the right thing in
moving now to protest.
Farmers are also very indignant,
and with a very good reason, over the
