It looked up at its benefactor in such an appealing manner that the lady knew it wanted something. The water 'dish was empty so she filled it with water. The bird immed- iately "dunked" the dry toast in the water, and when it was sufficiently soft enjoyed the tasty morsel.• After Vacation TUNE - A TUNE-UP AFTER YOUR VACATION IS.

It wasrung by the principal, Mrs. LeRoy Poth. When the writer was very young it had a joyful sound and she was always there on time the first day. Sometimes it took her all her time to -make the line-up to march into school on other days—yes, pupils were taught to march in order in those days, the junior pupils first and' then the seniors. The girls on one side and the boys on the other. It was a good training. But to go back to the bell, it has served its • purpose well for over half a century and the writ- er feels that it should be pre- served and used perhaps, on the town hall, as a curfew—if pupils had to be in off the streets at a certain time, more homework Mrs. E.

Kerslake and family, Hensall, were also holidaying in. Deer Lodge Park. He, had rented. a row boat at the river to which he attached his own outboard:; nater. ' During the supper hour, Kerslake had left the boat drawn up on the beach. The two young men, Simpson and. Campbell, took the boat and• went out on the lake. Spectators said that they were between '50` and - 75 feet from shore, having great fun, standing up rocking' the boat, She shipped too much water and tipped over throwing• them into the .;water. Campbell made shore easily. Simpson was following, pushing the boat, when his companion, heard him say "Oh, Bill", and he disappeared. Local Constable George Little- was called, and he -in turn notified. the Bayfield .Fire Department,. Reg, Francis took the pneolator- to the scene and Merton Merner- and Grant Turner carried down:' the extra tank of oxygen in readl-- ness for rescue operations. George Little and Reg. Francis got the former's boat and drag - line and Mr. Lemon, Bayfield: Highlands, who was out on the lake when the soldier went down, and Tommy Castle, Jr., also as- sisted in dragging operations, which were kept up until 10.30. The bright- moonlight was a help - and those in the boats used flash- lights, while spectators kept bon- fires burning on the beach. Con- stables Parkinson and Hardy of the Goderich detachment OPP, in- vestigated and directed opera- tions. Next morning at 6 a.m., Cpl. Sayeau, Constables Parkinson and( Hardy were again on the scene., Constable Parkinson was in the, boat with George Little and; Grant Turner; Cpl. Sayeau and'. Hardy were with Tom Castle. The two boats continued dragging op- erations until 9.30 when Grant Turner brought up the body about 50 feet from shore, opposite the northern part of the Jowett cot- tage area, not far from the scene of the tragedy. The body was lifted into the boat and taken into Siddell's boat house in the harbour, until an ambulance arrived from Goderieh.. The body was kept at Stiles fun- eral parlour until identified by - the father, Russel Simpson, Wal-• lace Township, near Listowel. The body was removed to the latter place. Pte. Neil Simpson had recently returned from a tour of duty in Korea and was on 30 days leave. He had signed up for six more years' service in the Canadian. Army. (By 'our Bayfield correspondent) Also on Saturday night there was a search for Phillip Gemein- hardt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Doug-, las Gemeinhardt, who had left home about three o'clock in the afternoon. It seems that the 13 - year -old lad had been reprimand- ed by his parents for some mis- demeanor. He threatened to leave home and suited his words to action. When he didn't return for sup- per, his parents and sister Anne became anxious. At ten o'clock his disappearance was reported to P.C. Lloyd Westlake. Friends joined in the search until., mid- night when it was called off. About nine o'clock Sunday morning, P.C. Lloyd Westlake ascertained from his parents that he was still absent, and was on his way to start, a more extensive search, when he met "Tiny", as he is known by his pals, north of the -bridge. 'He picked him up and returned him to -his parents, wlio had spent an anxious night. Obviously glad to be home again, Phillip repented of his rash action and the worry he had caused members of his family. Spending the night in Brown Lindsay's barn and eating apples for supper, hadn't been so much fun. (Brown Lindsay was one of those who joined in the search.). Sometimes it takes such an in- cident to make boys really ap- preciate home and all that their parents do for them; and also that when they are corrected it is for their own good, and not be- cause their parents enjoy doing it. Kids' Stunt would -be rime. In its time the school bell has been rung for weddings, for fires and also by pranksters. If it rang other than at the usual time, the villagers were immediately alerted and investigated the cause. So let's preserve it. When the new school which, is being built at the south 'sidof the old building is finished, an electric bell will summon the pupils fo studies. It is due to be completed Oc- tober 30 by the contractor, Gerry Lumber Co., London.

Their special stunt was for a lad to stretch himself across the road in the' path of an oncoming car on Bayfield Terrace. One car swervedonto a Lawn to miss the body on the road, and another went into the ditch at the corner of Terrace and Main. Had any of the drivers been blinded by a car coming in the other direction, it might have been a different story.
