SATURDAYo IS
APPLE DAY
•
- To -ring-the 'changes an lire an-
elent adage—aAn apple a day keeps
the boys. at play”, the boys being
the members of the 'Wingham Wolf
Cubs and BO Scouts and their
"play", ranging from campfire
siegsongs to doing good deeds, is
a vital part of their training,
Scouts and Cabs are taught that
money should be ' earned rather
than begged, so all over the world
Scouts set aside a certain amount
of time daring the year to go out
and earn some money for Scouting.
The Apple Day idea was started
in Canada more than 25 years ago.
ft began originally as• means of
giving value for money received
instead of receiving donations.
On Saturday the Scouts and Cubs
of our town will be on the streets
and around to the homes selling
apples. The boys are once again
working for a cause, and one they
believe in—a cause that threugh
the years has- encircled the world
and has done a tremendous amount
of good.
You can help the boys by giving
generously, so take a leaf out of
the Scouts' book arid be prepared, !
Help the boys to help othemselves.
Incidentally you'll enjoy the apples!

On 25th Anniversar
The regular meeting, of the Wing-
ham District High School board
was held on Tuesday eveniag.
A. D, chairman of
the finance committee, stated that
school expenses would have to be
kept as low as possible for the
next three months,. Be told the
board that the fitting of one pane
of glass, replacing a broken win-
I dow at the school, 'had cost more
than $28. In fact, said Mr. Mac-
William, the total .cost of repair-
!
ing broken windows had reached
the sum of $435. It was stated,
however, that future repairs would
be less costly since -the sehool now
has a supply of glass and would
be, able to do the repairs much
more cheaply because of this, Con-
struction machinery, which had
been lying at the bottom •iif the
school field for a considerable
time and which nobody seemed to
want, should be sold as junh, de-
eidecl members of the board. _They
had asked some time ago that
whoever owned the machinery re-,
move it, and at the time had given
a period of ten days ip order that
this Might he done. No One 'had
come ferward and it seemed that
no one would.
Board, member j. S, Armstrong 'of
Brussels, announced to the board-
that one of the members,. W. P.
Todd, who is also a member of tas
finance committee, was leaving'
Brussels in the near future and
would therefore not be attending
any further meetings of the Bbard.
School Principal, W, S. Hall,
read the school enrolment report
and said that the total enrolment
was 469 pupils. During September
the attendance was 94.5 per cent.
Mr. Hall said that it is hoped
to obtain jim Coulter, an ex-pupil
of Wingham High, who is at pre-
sent on the staff of the Stratford
Teachers' College, .to give an ad-
dress at the High School Com-
mencement. Mr, Hall informed the
Board that the Athletic Society had
been formed with Dr, W, A. MC-
Kibbon as honorary president of
the boys and Jean Thomson hona
orary president of the girls. -
A heating system for the school
barn was' discussed and it was de,
cided to wait until the matter of
costs and types of systems could
be gone into in greater detail,
