SYRUP, ANYONE?—

Of maple syrup. It seems that, with

STUDENTS TOP QUOTA
FOR CANCER FUND
The students of Wingham Dis-
trict High School have done a ter-
rific job for the Canadian Cancer
Society in the annual campaign
for funds. DeWitt Miller, chair-
man for the campaign, who has
had considerable experience in
drives of this kind for various
worthy causes, has found this
campaign to be one of\ the most
successful he has ever conducted.
The boys and girls started out
early last 'Friday evening to cover
the homes assigned to them, and in
eases where people were not at
home, they returned on Saturday.
The receipts were still being
counted on Monday evening of this
week and at that time amounted
to $2,300. This means that the
Wingham and District Branch is
over 'the quota whieh was set at
$2,000.
Mr. Miller. is grateful to the stu-
dents and feels that their conaen-
trated effort is responsible for the
success of the campaign.
