their second entanglement' at+ basket-

We managed to; get down to see it.
The little heroes, we are sorry to
learn ;despise the use of anything no
convenient as a score -kook, and eon-
sequetltly we' had a rather bad. time
getting the line-up. In ;the first per-
iod, even a. casual ' observer ' would
have realized ,that Second form was
rather too big, for their opponents;_
we had just settled down to a rather
dull game when something happened
to First Form. It -is inexplicable the
way these First Formers chop anis
change about. One moment they are
bad beyond belief, and the next they.
ate ..playing like professionals. "'We
noticed the same thing about the
girls. Anyway, just as we had noted
down that .Second had air the edge is
speed, passing and system; and that
the game was too one-sided to be in-
teresting, First Form snatched away
the ball and went to 'town in such a
truly amazing fashion that we could
onlystare' open-mouthed.. They
weren't content with running circles
around them; they ran figure eights.
Second had a big lead on them, but
they soon caught . up and passed
them. The score was 31.26 at the end
of the game, and if . First weren't
such nieesy'.shots it would have been
about. twice that. The game was
•
rather hard to describe as the play-
ers were generally in heaps at the
far' end of the gym, apparently tied
in good hard knots.

HURON COUNTY'S. WOODED AREA NOT AS
LARGE AS IT 'SHOULD BE
' Farmers Should Conserve Woodlots and':
• Plant Others
(From The Forestry .Branch).
Many Huron County farms have
not a woodlot and the percentage of
woodland, as shown by the 1934 as -
se ti
ss i oat is verylow in several
0
town-'
ships,
The farmers should consider care-
fully the value of a wopolot and if
the decision is, in favour of a wood -
lot, they should manage it wisely in
order that it will not disappear and
that it will give •the highest finan-
cial returns that are economically
possible. • There are thousands of
examples in Ontario of farmers who
thoughtlessly have • destroyed the
few acres of bush • 'on 'their farms.
Very few farmers will start a new
woodlot even though the 'Govern-
ment provides free treed for this
province. The woodlots could have
been preserved quite easily and
cheaply by protecting them from
stock.
The farmers who still have a few
acres of woodland remaining' on their
farms 'should take , Ineasiires to pre-
serve it as the well being of future
generations is :jeopardized if too
much land is cleared for cultivation
and pasture: The county was well,
wooded and future generations will,
blame their ancestors if a • mistake
Is made.
Has too large a, percentage' of the
county been cleared and would ag-
ricultural•district be More prosperous
if there were ten acres of woodland
on every .100 acre farm?
Woodlots
have a definitepart in
the economics of a farming district
end have , a very beneficial effect
and far-reaching influence: on the
well-being of -a country. The bene-
fits of woodland to the individual
farmer and .a district will be given
briefly:
1. Cheap and convenient fuelfor
the farmer and residents of villages
and small towns.
2. Cheap lumber for farm build -
Ings.
3. Maple syrup.
4. Windbreaks for agricultural
crops and 'faun buildings.
5. Non-agricultural soils such as
sand and swamp can be utilized to
grow .trees.`
6. Pr'events'orecion on steep hiIl-
sides.
7. Helps to control floods.
• 8. Reservoirs that help to provide
a steady supply of water for springs
olid wells.
9. Beautifies a countryside.
10. Increases the value of a farm,
11. Provides work for farm labor
ers and others in the winter.

BLYTH Taman, where a dainty repast was
t1 f T ho
It is ihdeeu very difficult to
believe that •in a , peace-
loving.place like Blyth that any per-
son would attempt an . assault•and
robbery on a poor lone lady, but this
happened here on ;Monday night when
Miss Jennie Logan, who lives alone at
the south end• of the village had her
hole entered and. the desperado
struck her in the eyes darkening it
and also inflicting other injuries ,be-
fore he secured' about $4.O0 -in cash
and a eheque.
The thief escaped by a' side door
a;hich he had smashed • in, obviously
Without fear of being heard by the
occupant of the' house, who is rather:
hard of hearing.
Miss Logan -regained consciousness
some minutes later., but did not leave
the house until two hours after the
attack,: when she notified Chief of
Police Cowan.' The chief immediately
called. Provincial Constable P. E. Mc-
Coy, of.Goderich. '
Miss Logan obtained a good ile-
scription of her assailant, and. po-
lice 'were further assisted by 'foot-
prints in snow oU.tsisie' the house.
An arrest is .expected shortly.

The next skit was a presentation
of a model Ford car. There - were
four girls for wheels, Peanut Harris

Jack Johnson,' we . are 'informed
from a reliable' source, is 'reducing.
Or rather he is trying to reduce—at
any rate he is on a diet. The proof
of this startling statement lies in
the fact that Hack was sten to open-
ly and quite unshameface,dly refuse
to join a young lady in a bag : of
peanuts , . , we don't mean he sable -
ed to get in the, bag . . . we meati

Surprising isn't it (This last item
published on request, ,so you needn't
start ragging me 'abdut it.).
Just because Dint Bartliff is door-
man at the theatre, he thinks we
should call him Janus. • You're • no•
double-header; Bartliff. You had
better be careful about being called
Jantis, or people will think it means
that you're two-faced. Haha, we,
think that's kind of smart.
The girls had a gym party at the
school Wednesday night, for_the pur-
pose of raising funds for the athletic
society, ,Admission was five cents
per person, and the only other re-
quirement was that you wear shorts
and bring four safety pins. But why
four safety pins? And so about six-
ty of our number traipsed up and
sang songs and danced square dances
and marched marches. Then the
girls were divided into groups ao
oording to their birthdays, group
leaders were appointed and each
bnitch put on a skit. The teachers"

n't.,
as-n't., That was. Miss Depew. Then
there was Lucinda their daughter, a
sweet young thing in a long white
cheese cloth dress and running shoes.
Lucinda had a romantic mind. She
was terribly in love with a penniless
young knight of whom her ?tither
disapproved. Oh how Lucinda wept

"The Corner Grocery." Mae Smith
was the proprietor, sheseemed to,
suffer from lumbago or some similar
affliction. She was continually dis-
turbed by people coming in and de-
manding ten centsworth of b.b.
shots. The b.b. shots were kept on
the very top shelf of the store, and
poor Hiram had to climb up. on a
very rickety edifice of old chairs and
stools to get them. After about ten
people had obliged Hiram to climb up
after b.b.'s he decided to stay there.
The next client came in and was ask-
ed unhospitably if they wanted ten
cents worth of b.b. shots? No of

the combatants had the shield they
fought anyway, Finally Gingie, hid-
den underneath a coat,' and perched
precariously on a chair, managed to
get het picture, and a rather stren-
uous moment was over. Margaret
Middleton's,,group • presented Major
Bowes amateurs. Marg. . was the
major, and her,emateurs were unbe-
lievably' amateurish. First a large
group' attempted -to sing Alouette but
they made a' terrible botch of it.
They were'. followed by Mildred Py -
bins, who sang;"Polly-WollyDoollle"
(or something) with a charming dis-
regard fel" : the tune. She waved a i
red 'hat at, the audience from time
to time with an air , of delightful'
abandon. The last item was a Glance
by two • girls, but as they couldn't
keep time to the music, they were
not awfully good either. ' Major
Howes concluded the programme by
apologizing -'for them. He wore a
rather hunted look: -
The last was a teacher's meeting,
in which the At -Home was being dis-
cussed. Pat McGoun was Mr. Fines
and Norma` Andrews was `Mr. Franks.
Gertrude Holmes;' was Miss Beattie,
Faye Lindsaye `Miss Bsydone and
Roberta • ,Laidlaw andMary Fear por-
trayed iss' Depew'and Miss' Nixon.
They put on 'the teacher's coats and
hats for the occasion, except Pat and
Norma who couldn't very well, this
being a strictly' feminine assemblage. -
No definite decision as to the At -
Home was • reached: And then we
sang a few songs and did the proper
"rah-rahs" for the teachers and for
the pianist, Ellen Charlesworth, af-
ter which,we sang God Save the King
and, went home. They made about
three dollars, which wasn't bad.
And here is Fishie• to take us for
a walk, and as you must admit that
that is a very innocent form of pass -
time, we shall go. And so, Cheerio!
(We have- sworn off saying S'long
and lousy for Lent. Didn't you not-
