Rev. J. Ure Stewart of Moore- field. Ontario, an old Goderich boy, writes, in part, "For many years we looked to the day when Goderich's population' would reach 5,000. Now that goal has been achieved and. with the new out- standing factories being establish- ed there, I have a vision of the town's rapid growth and develop- ment in the near future." Editor's note=-Goderich's last official pop- ulation figure was 5252 but we believe it is more than this at the .present time and will most assur- edly be quite a bit over this figure, come Spring. - Fall is just around the corner and `so" are the -weather prophets. The Wiarton Echo states its old;_ infallible weather prophet at Oli- phant says there is a heavy winter ahead. Reason -"high weeds and berries on the cedars." • AppareAt- ly the high weeds stick un through the snowbanks to provide food for the birds and the red berries on the cedars give the squirrels' something to eat after their normal storage depot is cleaned out. In case anyone thinks there is ample housing accommodation in Goderich we might 'mention that a man who placed an advertisement in the Signal -Star last week for an apartment tlrrent on Church Street had 25 phone calls about The apartment. He rented it last Friday, the day after the Signal - Star appeared. Belonging to the- "Believe it or not" group, a man employed in a business establishment on the Square last week broke his ankle - in bed. Just about this time of the year when you have to get coal in and there are other extraordinary ex- penses, you start wishing you had some little sideline to make a bit of extra money. We are happy to be of assistance to you in this respect and ' submit the following suggestion which has been going the rounds of lata! GET RICH QUICK! We are start- ing a cat ranch with 100,000 cats. Each cat will average 12 kittens a year. The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each. One.. hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day. We figure a daily net profit of over $1,000.00. Now what shall we feed the cats? We will start a rat ranch next door, with one million rats. The rats will breed 12 times faster than the cats, so we .will have four rats to feed each day to each cat. ow what shall we feed the rats? ' will feed the rats the carcasses the cats after they have been s inned. Now get this! We feed the rats to the' cats and the cats to the rats and get cat skins for nothing.

Milne, stu- dent supply, gave an encouraging report on the progress being made in the Auburn and Blyth vacancy. The Rev. J. R. MacDonald outlined the scheme whereby congregations are asked to underwrite the, cost of mailing the Presbyterian Record magazine to every home. This was enthusiastically accepted. The Rev. D. G. Campbell gave the re- port .on the Budget and described how 'the target for the budget of $1,000.00 was catching the imag- ination of the, whole church. OOOUNCILLOR SUGGESTS FORMAL RECOGNITION A suggestion that formal recog- nition be given the Goderich Girls' Trumpet Band was put forward by Councillor Ken Pennington at last Friday night's meeting of town council, '.hut council took no action.

Principal Reports Fine Exam Results To Board One hundred per cent results were obtained in six of the 14 papers written and over 50 per cent of all papers written were in the honor list as the result of Upper School examinations, A. 11. Scott, principal, reported at a meeting of the Goderich District Collegiate institute Board last Friday night. The results, Mr. Scott stated, were well above those of last year• The Board expressed satisfac- tion with the results and cc(ngrat- ulated the staff and students on their efforts and success.

The total is about the same as last year with 400 at Goderich District Collegiate Institute, ap- proximately 740 at the Public School and about 116 •. at St. Joseph's Convent.

Bert Labor Day falling on September 7, the time for return to school was held off to the very limit. For many of j.hem the return to books and classes and the end of vacation was a sad experience. But for others, the return was met with a mixture of joy and resignation_ At Goderich District Collegiate Institute, students filled the audi- torium where they were welcomed by Principal A. R.

"Comparatively few, schools in the .province offer the number of scholarships that are offered here at the Goderich Dis- trict Collegiate Institute," he said. A university career can prat,- . tically be financed through scholar ships, he added. New Teacher? Five new teachers were wel- comed to the staff of the collegiate. They are Mr. Donald Ewing, new Music teacher, who comes here from Ottawa; Miss E. Roberts, Latin and Ancient History teachea, a graduate of the Ontario Colleg- iate of Education; Miss S.

But the close relationship with God in our work every •-day is inevitable, -he said. There is a relationship established with God working with us and through' us. "All that we have•has been given to us by God," Mr. McMillan said, "and we ,are responsible for an honest day's toil." He -referred to the work of Nus :pis a laboring person when He wo k- ed as 'a carpenter. God gave us mind. and body, the minister said, and if we do not use what God , has given us by working, we are not. worthy- of Him. Special music was rendered by the choir with W. H. Bishop as organist. Mrs. Clayton Edward was soloist. . FORMER LOCAL WOMAN LEAVES FOR INDIA Mrs. ,lames L.
