DANIEL WEBSTER
BY DAVID WENGER
Daniel Webster was born in
Kent County, near the city of
Chatham. He was educated at
the Chatham Collegiate which
had an enrolment of about 700

ours are very similar, apparent-
ly, not only in the number of
students, but in space problems.
Mr. Webster was Quarter Mas-
ter for the Cadet Corps in his
school. (Is this evident in class,
kids?)
From secondary school he
went on to. the higher halls of
learning and attended the On-
tario Agricultural College at
Guelph. He studied landscape
design and horticulture. He
was not born with a silver spoon
in his mouth, so he had to work
his way through university at
such things as gardener at a
mental health hospital, research
worker in a canning company
and in doing field tests. On
graduation he stayed on with
the college for four years, work-
ing on adult education corres-
pondence courses. He still
works for the college on a cor-
respondence course in home
gardening and finds this inter-
esting and rewarding. Mr. Web-
ster did not say that he found
secondary school teaching re-
warding, but perhaps he won't
know the answer to that himself
until the end of the term.
It is interesting to dote that
even though Mr. Webster was
educated at the O.A.C. and
teaches agricultural science at
W.D.H.S. he did not grow up
on a farm or have any rural
connections. His main interest,
indeed, is not agriculture, but
horticulture.
Mr. Webster now boards in
Wingham but plans to get a
house in Teeswater very soon.
At the moment he spends part of
his week -ends travelling to and
from Guelph. He is married
and has two children.
His spare time is -devoted to
designing sprinkler systems for
a manufacturing firm and to his
hobby, stereo photography. As
a youth he gained a keen inter-
est in politics when he worked
as an organizer during elections
Though he has been actively in-
volved in previous elections,
Mr. Webster assures us that he
has no intention of terminating
his teaching career in favor of
politics on November 8.
While interviewing Mr. Web-
ster I found him to be co-opera-
tive and friendly and I would
like to welcome him, to Wing -
ham and wish him success in
the years to come.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL
"Thou shalt not kill", with gun
or knife,
'Tis sin to take another's life
'tis also sin you will agree,
To murder with a Mercury.
I think it would offend the Lord
To !till a fellow with a Ford.
The same applies, I think you'll
say,
To slaying with a Chevrolet.
' Twould prove that love to man
you lack,
To hit him with your Pontiac,
So drive with common sense
and care,
Your Tempest, Falcon or Cor-
vair.
This instruction includes all
The foreign makes, however
small.
It's sin to murder with a car,
Fiat, Rolls-Royce or Jaguar.
Thou shalt not hot rod, drag or
peel,
While sitting at thy steering
wheel,
Excessive speeds thou shalt
avoid,
Lest thousands others be des-
troyed.
And when thou meetest in the
night
Another car, dim then thy
lights.
Whether thou drivest night or
day,
The traffic safety rules obey.
Thou shalt not pass on curve or
hill;
This is the law! "Thou shalt not
kill".
Little Increase
In H.S. Population
Windsor, a city of 150, 000
people, this year added only
142 students to its secondary
school population. The reason
is not hard to see. Wage rates
are so high in the Windsor area
that it is difficult to persuade
young people, particularly boys,
to stop earning and go back to
school. This may be an ag-
gravated condition in the Wind-
sor area, but it is not unknown
elsewhere. --Letter-Review.

Tie Listowel
BY BILL KERR
The Wingham D.H.S. Mus-
tangs settled for a tie in an ex- '
hibition football game played'
here last Wednesday against Lis-
towel. The visitors evened the
score '7 to 7 with a late last
quarter single kicked by Russ
Worth.
Spectacular plays by both
teams' defensive squads kept
the game close and low scoring.
The game was climaxed by
nurnerous pass interceptions and
an abundance of fumbles lost to
the opposition. After a score-
less first quarter, place-kicker
Murray Procter booted a 50 -
yard kick into the Listowel end -
zone for a single point to put
Wingham ahead. There was no
more scoring in the first half.
Early in the third period
Murray Fischer galloped 55
yards for the first major of the
ball game to shove Listowel in-
to the lead. An attempted pass
for the extra point was incom-
plete and the score stood Lis-
towel 6, Wingham 1.
Not long after Listowel'sTD,
Mustang quarter -back Norm
Corrin ran '25 yards, the last
few with the pursuers right on
his back and they finally pulled
him down, but not before he
had crossed the goal line to
score Wingham's lone touch-
down. The convert attempt by
Procter was blocked.
The score remained 7-6 in
