What they saw surprised therm. They were amazed at the versatil- ity displayed in the various pro- jects carried out by the pupils over and above the basic three R's. It was like a miniature world- wide tour to go the rounds of the various classrooms, since many of them featured . drawilgs, objects and information about numerous foreign 'countries. Mrs. McKee's grade five class, for example, fea- tured Africa with pictures and maps. In Miss Mason's junior ac- celeration class the emphasis was on (Mexico. Weird facial masks scowled down from on high at the visitors coming into Mrs. Bax- ter's grade five room to let them know that New Zealand and Aus- tralia was the theme there. An- other interesting exhibit was a miniature of an Australian sheep ranch. It was unmistakably Hol- land in Mrs. Schaefer's grade three room. Lots of Variety The whole school • provided plenty of variety, right from Miss Hume's kindergarten class to Mr. Stephens grade eight class. The kindergarten class had an exhibit of drawings. If the linemen of the Goderich Public Utilities Com- mission would like to know what they look like when they are at work, they shouldn't fail to see this exhibit. Apparently the PUC men were at work just outside the Public School when the kinder- garten pupils decided to draw a sketch of them at work. The in- dividual ideas of the little tots on whet the PUC men looked like are portrayed in these drawings. At the other end of the line - in Mr, Stephens grade eight room -.we have not the high tension wire drawings but rather high ideals, as recorded in philosophic Modern Building BRICK or FRAME HOMES MODERNIZING KITCHENS ALSO DUPLEXING.

In this room .also, there are attractive scrap books on cur- rent events with clippings and pic- tures from newspapers. Puppet's representing all nation- alities are the work of pupils in Miss Bowra's grade seven room. There were also replicas of various animal's to be seen, including pre- historic creatures. Colored draw- ings by pupils emphasized the im- portance of preventing soil erosion on the farms. Attractive art and displays of current events were to be seen in the grade seven -eight room of Mr. Moore. "How the Wren Family Moved" was graphically told in a display in the grade -two room, of Mrs. Stephens. In the same room was a "corner store" with packages of well-known brands of goods. "We use toy money and it helps the children learn how to make the right change when they go to a grocery store," explained Mrs. Stephens. The story of- how bread is made -right from the beginning in the grain field -was shown in pictures in the grade two room of Mrs. :Fisher. Drawings on safety were featured. in the grade one room of Miss Videan. New Canadians In Mrs. Alexander's grade four room, maps were shown and other ineoranation given to acquaint the pupils with the countries from which foreigners are conning to be Canadian citizen& Birds and their colors were fea- tured along the front of the black- board in the grade four room of Mrs. Wilkinson. Some striking art work was to be seen in the grade six room of Mr. Darlow with one scene, con- nected with King Richard, par- ticularly good. Suspended from the ceiling by means of strings, realistic birds, made by the pupils, were to be found in. the grade three room of Mrs. Morris. - There was a Spring hat show in Mrs. Cory's senior accelerated class with lovely paper models of hats made by the girls. The boys devoted their talents to a. "Potato Parade" in which potatoes were used as the base for making many odd-looking heads, including bunny heads, cat heads, etc. The 'Signal -Star failed to get around to all the rooms. It would have takein at least three hours to properly look over the many ex- hibits. There were other rooms with equally interesting displays not mentioned here. Maybe, next year we'll get time to include them in on a thumbnail sketch review. The teachers and pupils are to be commendedfor their splendid work and can be justifiably proud of the exhibits, Those people who have never attended an "Open House" at the Public School 'will find it a surprisingly enjoyable experience for them in the future.

Gold Mine In Huron But Good Farming Practices Must Be Used Says Speaker ,-"You're sitting on a gold mine, here in Huron County," C. H. Kingsbury told farmers gathered at the Huron County Seed Fair at Clinton, "and if you don't recog- nize it as such, then you've got nobody to blam-e-.but yourselves." Mr.Kingsbury,_ who is the field-. man for the Field Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, warned his hearers that if they did not carry out good practises of farming they wodld be eased out into other industries. "This," he said, he "did not want to see happen." These remarks were ' made in conclusion to. an address abased, on the results of seed drill surveys made in the county which showed a -marked improvement in the past eight years, but which still indi- cated a remarkable indifference in farmers ,about the -'brand, grade, and cleanliness of the seed they, were sowing.

Not a bushel of seed combined with weedseeds, and seeds that will not .grow." Eight years ago, the speaker recalled one out of every three samples in the -Huron -County- seed drill survey .had been rejected. Last year, one out of - lve samples was rejected. This shows some improvement. He warned that small seeds cannot be cleaned pro - perly in a farm cleaning plant. Chuckling, Mr. Kingsbury said, "You're" a hopeful bunch in Huron County." Out of five cereal grain samples, four farmers did not know what grade of Seed they had been sowing. And in the small seed samples, two out of three farmers were not aware of what grade the seed.- was-. By sowing good grade seed, and the varieties of grain recommend- ed for a particular area, said Mr. Kingsbury, as much as $100 extra on ten acres could be realized. friLURSDAY# MARCO 14th I&57 itness, 4Too Young For Dance Ha!iCadj "1 don't 'vrtow what parents are thinking when they allow ea girl, 14 years of age, to go to a dance!" declared Magistrate ,,e,. E. ,Ilolaries in police court here last week. His comments came during the airing of a fighting charge laid as a result of an incident et the Dungannon dance hall on March 2. The magistrate was surprised to learn that a girl, who had witness- ed the scuffle, was just 14. Indicat- ing his disapproval, he stated that these dances have become "notor- ious" for rowdyism, and are hardly. suitable places for .girls of that age to be found. A fighting •charge laid against Raymond Mitchell, of Goderich, was dismissed. A sirnilar charge again- st Richard Littlechild, of Goderich, was adjourned until today. Provincial Constable ,Ilton Du - brick testified that fie saw Mitchell and Littlechild tussling against the wall, and he had escorted them to the cruiser. Littlechild had been drinking, but Mitchell had not, said the officer. According to witnesses, Little- child had spilled beer on a girl's dress. Mitchell apparently decided that the chivalrous thing was to go to the rescue and prevent any more damage. In dismissing theecharge against Mitchell, Magistrate Holmes warn- ed him it is risky to interfere with persons who have had too much to drink. The youth asked the magistrate if he would give the same advice --that is, to not interfere -if he saw a murder being committed. Fred R. Vi cent and Eldon Lan- non, both -off Goderielt, wore each sentenced to three weeks in Jai! for fighting at the Dungas.non dance hall on February 14. After their terms expire, they will re- main on probation for six months. Evidence in their cases had been heard at a previous court session. O 0 p MARCH MEETING OF NORTH STREET W.M.S. IS HELD The March meeting of North Street W.M.S. was held in the church parlor with a good attend- ance. In the absence of Mrs. E. 3'. "Pridham, the meeting was con- ducted by Mrs. Tockstader. ' Miss Stranggave the secretary's report and Mrs. H. Turner the treasurer's report. The roll call was answered by giving6c the num- ber of calls made on the sick and shut-ins. Mrs. Atkey led in prayer. Miss Strang read a letter from the Cancer Society asking for a repre- sentative from North Street W.M.S. Miss Gertrude Sturdy was appoint- ed and also ,five canvassers to help in the coming canvass. After a passage of Scripture read by Miss Sturdy, Mrs. Durnin gave an interesting review of part of the study book, dealing with In- donesia. It is estimated that four pericent of the entire population of Indonesia are Christians. Many more missionaries are- urgently needed. • There is a great shortage of doctors as there is only one doctor for every 50,000 people.
