Dear Dick:
I received the invitation to the
Morris Centennial along time ago
and I have been a very long time
saying Thank You for it and ac-
cording to your schedule you are
putting on a real chow, three
whole days of entertainment,
only hope' it is my good fortune to
be able to hake it in,
'In this' letter I am going to tell
you of some of the epitiodea that
went on in my time at ,old No, 5.
At' the finish of the school year
in 190). Christina Halliday .finished,
her teaching career. That would
,he In late June, 1901. That was
the saddest day that old school
ever . saw. There were more people
crying than I had, ever seen in one
group before, The kids sure did
like Christina.
In those days there was a e'er-
tain kind of lantern -globe that had-
a very thick glass at one side of it.
It would show light 'a long way if
that part of the globe was used.
And when the glass was broken
the kids found out the rays of the
sun shining through that thick
glass we're very hot, so hot, in fact,
they would start a fire. So a
bunch of us, such as Harry oarrip-
hell, Bob Campbell, Billie Watson,
Garner Procter, and Billie Corbett,
found out how easy it Woulld. be, to
start a fire and we would prop it
up in such a way the 'sun would
shine through on • hot' summer
days, We set the fence on fire,on
Adam Halliaay's farm.across the
road from the school. Then Miss
Halliday would send us out to put
the fire out. We got many a holi-
day like . that and Miss Halliday
Develop Retrieving
,Gadget for Animals
The pussycat stranded on a tree-
top or telephone ,pole is a familiar
sight guaranteed to stop traffic in
most urban centres. ' It is also
guaranteed to flood the police, fire
or first aid departments with calls
for help.
Sometimes, mingled with reliel'at
the safe return of the cat to terra
firma,, there is criticism 'of neces-
sary rough treatment of the .animal
during its reacue. When 'word-geta
.around of a new' development by
the Humane Society of Grand Ra-
pids, Mich., much of this criticism
should be stilled,
Tina ?rganization has developed
an elongated aluminum gadget that
resembles a fishing pole. At the

noose which retrieves the animal
