Men dash madly to the dining hall where mail is distributed to eager hands Long hours are spent poring over a letter from Mom, or Mary, or perhaps just from a friend back in the old home -town. But there are a few who do not receive any mail and who haven't received any for many months. Have the folks back home forgotten them, forgotten that a letter written in ten minutes • of their spare time would encourage and give these boys, who left their homes in a sane and just world, to enter a bedlam of mur- der'and ruthlessness, courage and re- assurance that the folks back home are still thinking of them? Soldiers want letters, letters that remind them pleasantly of home, letters. which inspire then;, cheer thein, and make then forget, So let's not forget the boys who are giving their lives for us, but write to them often, enclosing snapshots and clippings from the home -town newspaper, which will remind them of home, . The high school dance held en Feb. 9th to the music •of the Clinton Radio School orchestra was a com- plete success with a large crowd and a wonderful time for everyone. The epidemic of mumps which hit the C. C. I. is gradually waning. We are all grateful to Mrs. Meanwell who has been substituting for Miss Barbara Brown. Two fbi riser students of the C. C. I. P. O. Cameron Proctor and F. 0. Fraser Thompson visited the school during the past week. We were very glad to see them and to see that they haven't forgotten the old C. C, L The boys and girls basketball teams visited Seaforth on Feb. 2nd. By some stroke of hick Seafo,•th won both games, by close scores, though everyone played well. More such games are anticipated by all, George Mustard kindly contributed. this description of himself. ' • When God was giving out brains, I thought he said trains, And I missed mine, When he was giving out looks I' thought he said books, And 1 didn't want any. When' he was giving our ears, I thought he said beers, And I ordered two long ones. IAnd when he was giving out legs iI thought he said kegs And I ordered two fat ones. When . he; ;•vas giving out noses, I thought he said roses, And I asked for a big red one. Am I a mess! Miss Corp —"Can anyone tell me where Pittsburg is?" Don Haddy—"I think they're play- ing in Chicago this week." An Englishman heard an owl for the first tine, "What was that?" he asked, "An owl," he was told. "I know that" he cried, "but who did the "owling?" Watson —"My uncle plays the piano by ear." Tamblyn —"That's nothing, my grandfather fiddles with his beard." That will be all for now folks, I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as we did writing it. ' Thanks a million for your co-oper- ation sub -editors. v ONTARIO ST.
