Timothy was' left to do what he could with his victory, left not to dreaming inaction with the slim, hon- orable broken; poetic sword of de- feat in his hand, but with the heavy earth -stained shade of enforced effort. A formidably extensive stretch of ground was to' be turned over. His back ached at the sight of it. All to be done in the bare month left before, the. Academy opened and all to he done together, kept in the air at one time like a juggler's balls. The most familiar of these balls was the hasty orgixaziation of the new bus service for the more distant students. Timothy took Eli along on his first trips to the outlying ham. lets and isolated farms, to the farms or workshops or houses of the select- men and school directors where, note- book in hand, he jotted down the nec- essary information about young peo- ple recently out of the eighth parte. He had thouglt.that after that preli- minary survey he would also need somehow . to find the time to look up those eotentiee itudents ohe by one. But to his relief, Eli snatched most of that work filom him. By the open- ing .day of the Academy, his buses were full: one of therm bad to make two trips. There were seventy-three new freshmen at the Academy. While Eli was doing. this with daily confer- ences .with the Principal, Timothy with the three trustees and what teach- ers he could call" back, was clawing together hastily arranged curricu, lum and budget, interviewing extra teachers, supervising the cleaning and whitewashing of the long empty third. storey of the Aeadeny building. • It was in these Trustee's meetings that he began with Mr. Randall that earnest effort 'which he made with everyone wild IiaT been on the other side, to get himself by humility and friendliness, forgiven for the offense Of. having been right and having been successful.

A crowd of around 1.500 people filled the rink and bid- ding was exceptionally brisk. Peo- ple: seemed to have plenty of cash. Auctioneer -Harold Jackson made a total of 630 individual sales in ap- proximately six hours. A set of Lim- oges dishes was sold for $175, Frigid- aire for $275.00 odd dishes as high as $27--00 each, occasional antique chairs as high as $32.00. The executors of Miss Wightman's estate. Messrs Hel- mer Snell and Thos Baird, and Messrs E. P. Chesney and D. H. Wilson as clerks had a big job on their hands. The rink was a fine spacious place to hold such a sale. A number of buyers were present from London, Stratford, Goderich and other places.

In- spectors J. H. Kincaid and E. H. Mc - Kone of Goderich, were present and advised the closing owing to the low attendance. - Those pupils in grades IX and X will be transported to Gode- rich by a school bus service which is expected to be established. The school was opened about 1928. Some years ago, by what we hear Twenty-five, so it is said: You led your, bride to the alter side Andyou two there were wed. There was none of us did have the joy To view that blessed time; When bride and groom stood in their place To say theirlittle line. Of course, we just could not be :there To see or hear what was then said; When on that sixth day of July The bride and groom were wed For after all the most of us Have been to that same place, And forthe rest who have not been It's a very exciting race. We know the sun did shine upon The very • charming. bride. We know the bridegroom too did smile Upon that smiling bride. The time at last did surely come • When all the folks were still, To hear those clear, yet trembling words When both did say "I will" The bride her name was not the same When that brief time had passed; For when that fatal word was given In Silver it was cast.

In meeting for to pray, For Pastor .or for people It helps them on their way. Your hands are ever at the work Whate'er the call• may be, Whether in Sunday School or church Or at the Christmas tree. The work to which you and your bride So willingly set your hand, Among those things men strive to do Was the greatest in the land. "Go labour on, spend and be spent.'! Yon herd the word thus given: To give your whole selves to the work` You faithfully have striven. The home is poor without the child They are needed to complete it So Shirley, Albert and Stirling too, Have each one done their bit. So day by day the both of you Have worked with voice and pen, In lives of true devotion For needy women and men. Until at last you heard the call And if the call goes out for help To harvest, hay or grain, You gladly give a hand to all In sunshine or in rain. The red brick church so deer to all Now has a roof quite new, The basement floor is solid now And will not let us through. The parsonage out in the town Did need a coat of paint; You worked at it with brush in hand Nor ever made complaint. You led us to the riverside. There to fulfill the word, And hearts and lives did on that day Confess their risen Lord. As partners in the harvest field As servants of the Lord; A quarter century has passed. In sending forth His Word. A little present we have brought In silver it is laid; We trust that it may do the part For which it has been made. And so we do rejoice with you As you -journey on your way, And may you both be spared to see Your Golden Wedding Day. From Members and Adherents of the Auburn Baptist Church. • Composed by F. G.

C a E igkey keeps ,Ontario's Power Flowing e Maintenance of Hydro transmission lines presents a tremendous challenge to the men whose job it is to keep Ontario's power flowing. For, in war or peace, the factory, the farm, and the home, depend upon an unfailing supply of electricity. ' e During the winter, when deep snow blankets the province, line patrol and maintenance is particularly tough. In the north .. . when, at many times of the year, roads are impassable . • . line patrols of men and dogs, fight their way through the drifts .. battling blizzard, ice and frost. In summer too, the patrol must continue. Where economically possible this is done by car or Wank, but in many remoteplaces it must be carried out on foot or by canoe. In fair weather or foul, the year around, Ontario looks to Hydro for power ... and Hydro men see that they get it. e From one end of the province to the other from the great lakes to the wilderness of the far North ... Hydro patrol men and crews of skilled linemen are on the alert, day and night, ready to meet the onslaughts of nature in the raw.. ready to combat the havoc wrought by any storm. And , . w.hen disaster strikes ... they stay on the job until the power is flowingagain, so that Ontario's war -geared industries can keep running full -tilt, producing on round-the-clock schedules.
