Literary Executive In a meeting held a short time ago the literary executive of Wingham District High School came forth with an idea to occupy the students' time during the noon hours, Although the present crowded conditions and lack of recreational facilities cannot be greatly improved until the coming of our new school, they decided that several games should be purchased for the noon hour enjoyment of the students. Terry McArdle, David pona- hue, Bernice McDonald and Kenneth Holmes have formed a committee for the purpose of tending !their use and upkeep. Dancing is to be enjoyed by the pupils at noon hours with music provided by their own talents. On December the third our school received a visit from a publishing rep- resentative who suggested that a school magazine should be organized by the pupils. The magazine would contain information of school activit- ies and achievements, school pictures and advertising space purchased by local merchants. The magazine would be sold for fifty cents to all those in- terested. The society seriously con- sidered the undertaking but decided to leave a final decision until later. The second literary meeting of the school year is to be held on Friday, December 11th. Besides the usual students talent the senior drama club will present a play entitled "For Whom the Telephone Rings." The public is welcome. J. K Holmes Following is an essay written by Clifford Coultes on the Upper school English 'composition, examination two weeks ago. The Telephone "The telephone was first invented by Alexander Graham Bell. . ." —(Al- most any history book). All of us know that. Some of us think that he should have known bet- ter, To do him justice, this beS.rded old Scottish tinker was most likely thinking of the benefit of the human race when he worked out the principle of this adorning feature of almost every home in our glay, He probably visualized with a tender smile the convenience of being able to whisper sweet nothings into a young lady friend's ear while far removed from her. But if he'd thought much about it, he'd have made some provision against party lines. No doubt he thought with sympathy of the young bride, weeping over her spouse's com- parison of her biscuits to bullets, both in their malleability and their threat to life, if devoured, calling up her mother to say she was coming home and being advised to drown her woes in a cup of tea and try again. Thus a marriage might be saved. But unfor- tunately, by this same agent of mercy, the mother-in-law can make her pres- ence felt in a home without being there, so that nobody can get even with her. Bell likely considered it wonderful that professional people might be summoned in no time at any hour, but he never threw a little, black, smug, shining instrument on the floor and kicked it for getting him up at three in the morning. He never was told either, for the sixth time, "Sorry, the line is biz-ay," by 'a stuffy- nosed, sublimely indifferent feminine voice, when he knew that Mrs. 5m1th was telling Mrs. Jones about how fat Mrs. Brown was getting, all the time. The telephone is an ever-present potential medium between yourself and people you don't want to talk to, like bill collectors. Now that television is a reality, future telephones should really be equipped with small tele- screens in the middle of the dial, showing the callers face so that one can tell whether to answer or not. But it is not to be denied that the telephone has' its advantages. On an office desk, it makes a dandy paper- weight, On party lines its use is a sure and conceivable method of spy- ing on one's neighbours. This works both ways, of course, but you don't have to tell any secrets on the tele- phone. You can talk to your mother- in-law with impunity the way you like. Of course, that works both ways too. ...However, the telephone, is, like everything else, just what ever you make of it. The best way is to be like the old mountaineer who was busily writing beside his madly ringing tele- phone when a • friend entered his shack. On being interrogated, the old man replied, "William, Ah'm busy; and Ah had thet durn thing installed fer MY convenience." Clifford Coultes FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.

Mrs. Nash gave a short report on the work done through the year and her treasurer's report showed all pledges met and a balance which was voted to the missions in India, the Columbia Coast mission and the dio- cese of the Arctic, Bales were sent to Indian missions during the year.

Miss Kathleen Pringle took as her subject for the Christmas topic, "The Story of the Other Wise Man" by Henry Van Dyke. Presented in a most interesting manner, the story of Arti- ban who found many to help but none to worship, was an inspiration and a challange. The annual reports were read by the secretaries of all departments of the auxiliary showing graitfying progress during 1953.
