Radio ;School Holds Field Day On Thursday, August. 27th, , the nearby Radio Sehooi held its sports day and despite the weather, which nearly stopped it and which remained ,threatening all the afternoon, the oc castor:, may be judged a success. The meeting was well attended by friends and the Dahlia despite the weather. Bad weather caused' a delay of only. half -an -hour at the start, and though four novelty races had to be scratch- ed the programme was completed by 6.45• p.m. The sports opened inauspiciously with a misfire: from a Starter's gun, e. cueing the 100 yards to be run twice, apart from that. there were rio other mishaps, and the spectators were giv- en a good show by all those who ,com- peted. Both the sprints, 100 and 200 yards, were won by Harpur, (B. Squadron) who did very well to ach- ieve a time of 10.8 sees in well, 100 yards on a rough grass trach against a wind, . Sgt. Samardiczh of the U.S. Army; Air Force won the• shot putt with 34 ft. 1 in., being two feet clear of Yates (A. Squadron). The competitors in the shot putt were rather unnecessar- ily hedged in by spectators,' but to their credit they succeeded, in avoid- ing over -curious heads. The half -mile and mile were won by Cpl. Foxcroft (SHQ). Thomas's (THQ) time of '58.2 secs. in the quarter mile was perhaps the. most creditable time of the day. His competitor was Harpur. The event which gave most excite- ment to the spectators was the high jump, won by Worley (A. Squadron) with 5 ft. 4% inches, Worley was run very close by .Nicholas of (A. Squadron) who cleared 5 ft 4 inches. This event enabled a little clowning to- take otake place, the competitors removing successive layers of garments on their failure to clear the bar at the first or second try, Grim%bley (A. Squadron) and O'Grady (B. Squad- ron) tied' for third place at 5 feet. O'Grady seemed to be the most pop- ular failure •of the afternoon, for his hard try delighted the crowd. Wor- ley later won the long jump. Martin (B. Squadron) made certain of the 120 yards low hurdles, being followed closely by Ulm of the ILS. Army. Harvey (SIIQ) Hon third in this event, Morrow (13 Squadron) won the Hop, Skip and. Jump, O'Grady and Arnett (B. Squadron) being second and third respectively, B. Squadron went, on to clean up the team 'prize in decided fashion by defeating Technical H.Q. hi the Tug O'War in two straight pulls•, . The ,°highest individual total went to Lead - ng Aireraftman Harpof 13. Squad - Fon. Prizes were presented to the win- ners by Mrs. W. J. Metcalfe. Libtle Miss B.

Because buildings are next to impossible to replace. Because farm fires destroy food along with the power to produce it., Pires are the Nation's loss now! Get everybody on your farm to be a fire warden. Crack down on smoking in or around your barns. Insist that no matches be carried unless in tight tin boxes—and not at all while threshing. See that the lamps and lanterns are filled before dark. Always hang the lantern well up—snapped on with a good strong snap. Don't takes chances with 'kerosene oil or gasoline. Don't tamper with electric wiring. Keep your lightning rods and cables in good repair—always.

In Canada the temperature went up to 85, and that may be why there was a noticable decline in the purchase of War Savings certificates and stamps But whatever the cause of tine de- cline, the need is great and any sacri- fices this, country has made thus far are insignificant when compared with what our men and women at the front The deductions from •cream cheques have not reached the proportions they doubtless will. In the meantime, it should be understood there is no com- pulsion about the deductions. Faint- ers are at liberty to refuse to accept. War Savings stamps as' part payment, but if they can arrange to accept only one or two a week the total across Canada would be tremendous: Shoppers are asked to take War Stamps from their merchants when- ever possible, Every stamp bought will help and they bear interest.
