The graduates of grade thirteen and special commercial class were honored by the students of, Wing- ham District High School at their first graduation dance in the school auditorium. This took . place on Thursday, April 19th, with dancing from 9,30 to 1,00 a. in. The music was supplied by the Esquire Orch- estra with Charlene Deyell, as voc- alist. The gymnasiuhi, decorated in pink and green „streamers, with the setting "in Paris," gave a lovely and colorful backgreund for the multi- coloured archway led to the -re- ception line composed of Mr, W.

Murray, -1'f1-. and; Mrs. Ma- dill, and Mr, and' Mrs. Woolfrey, who stood along a stone walk sur- rounded by gay, spring flowers. There were large scrolls at the foot of the orchestra -showing the list of graduates -of "56," A delicious lunch of dainty sandwichcs and punch was served. Everyone agreed that this, dance was the loveliest dance of the season, Ruth' Sharpe XII 0 - 0 - 0 Pfand-me-downzclothes Would 'you quibble if someone wanted to give you her mink coat? Well, ito, of course you would do no 'such a thing! But if that same person wanted to be- stow on you an old suit, that she had worn for at least ten years, what would your attitude•be then? Ah yes, the "hand-me-down cloth- es" system can be a blessing to the budget-conscious wife, and it can be a misery to the younger members of the household. In fact, you do not have to be .a youngster to resent these clothes. Most young people resent having, to wear sister's blue coat or cousin Jane's "last year's hat." And can you blame them?

A. terrified citizen assured the polite lieutenant he had been fell- ed in the dark outside his back door by an unknown assailant, A rookie cop was dispatehed to the scene And returned' with a big lump on his forehead, Sol'iied the ease,' he reported. 'Quick work,' complimented the lieutenant, 'How did Yen do it?' 'I stepped on the rake, 00,' belonged and some ,young friend is sure to mention the fact that she has seen that outfit before, But then too, there ate quite a number of people ,who are glad to accept and wear these clothes. These are the people who really need them and whose false pride does not' rule them. They do not feel re- seatment because they are glad to have clothes to wear. Yes, your use of your common sense should gov,- ern your attitude in this problem. Now let us look at the person who is handing down the eIothes, If it is an older sister, perhaps she is glad to get rid of them, because it means a new outfit for her, Sounds selfish doesn't it?, Or per- haps some hand-rne-downs comes from mothers who are -anxious to see their children neatly and warm- ly dressed, and yet .who are fin- ancially unable to buy new clothes for each child, Or perhaps it is someone who lives comfortably, and who wants to be charitable and give some .clothes, which are perfectly good, to someone who has need. of them. Or-if you have ever seen some of the clothes given during a .charity drive, you will know what I mean—it is. someone who ,has a lot of old clothes which are not of any use to anyone, and which cannot be got rid of in any other way, Yes, even the givers can be selfish or unselfish. Usually, . the selfish givers are the ones who resent giVing away their clothes. Those who do it in a spirit of love and charity are the ones who receive the grateful "thank-you." Of course, there are some people who will not accept charity no matter how destitute they arc, but 'these people are few. And there you have it--a few views on' "hand-me-down clothes." They can be accepted either with a grateful "Thank you," or with .'a plaintive cry: "But Mother, I just simply cannot wear that Coat, of Mary's!" Usually 'the latter reaction is the normal one for a young person.

STORES TARGET SALE 'PRICE, pair ) The federal go'Venrment'S. part in civil defence is mainly, to co- ordinate provincial plans with the over-all plan of the country in event of an enemy attack. It must provide direction, assistance, train- ing. But as Health Minister Paul Martin has said, "civil defence cannot be imposed from the top." "No government—not even the federal government—can do this job alone," he said in . a recent speech. Under Canada's constitu- tional setup, the job of organizing the civilian, population so that it can protect itself in event of a disaster such as nuclear war falls .to each level of government—fed- eral, provinicial and municipal.
