Mounted on a trailer, it can he assembled in a few min- utes into a 20' x 27' stage and moved to any part of the hos- pital grounds. Light, easy -to -handle alumi- num- was the Legion members' obvious choice of material. And in case of sudden thunderstorms, it would be a simple matter to roll the performers, stage and all, under the nearest shelter. A typical example of how alu- minum often provides not just one hut several advantages on a single job. ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.

Children on bicycles frequently present an accident hazard, although no serious accident has occurred among bicycling students here in recent years. Motorists should take every precaution now on streets where students are bicycling to and from schools. On the other hand, bicycling students should take care not to wander all over the road. Above all, parents should warn their children of the posssible dangers of an accident. A lot of credit is due the School Safety Patrol for their work throughout the year in guiding pupils across busy intersections. In recognition of their faithful services, members of the patrol were taken for an airplane ride at Sky Harbor, courtesy of the Jaycees,' last Thursday.

House of Horrors The Hous of Horrors apparently proved -'hig'ly entertaining to the carnival goers, even if the con- tents did provoke some rather jarr- ing screams now and then. "Spill the Milk," the candle shoot and bingo drew good crowds, and, of course, there was the "kissing" booth. Several persons were seen to go into this particular booth with expectant expressions. Later, each one was seen to trudge out holding a candy kiss in his hand.
