For instance, it there is -a school.:dance, you can rec- kon ori rain, snow or, sleet, and niud udder any conditions. We always think that in time .of 'great drought, the crops would be saved by a night's downpour if the school were to put on .a dance. For it never fails. And that is 'why we venture. to predict that the' weather on ,Friday will be extremely unpleasant, because that is the night of the annual At Horne. Funny sabout tlie. •At Home.

BRUCEFIELD There passed away in ClintonHos pital, on Thursday, April 9th, ope o tate pioneers of Huron County, in' th person of John McKenzie, in'' itis 84th year. • Mr. McKenzie had resided in Bruce - field end vicinity practically all his lifetime, having come to the London. Road with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McKenzie, from St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, at a very early age. One of the family of five .broth- ers and two sisters, only one sister, Mrs, Fanny Walker, 'of.Pomona, .Cali- fornia, now survive. In 1880 Mr. McKenzie married Catherine Walker, who predeceased him eleven years ago.They resided' for some years on the old homestead. on the London Road, moving to Brucefield some 38 'years ago. He was a member and' faithful attendant of Brucefield Unitech Church. The funeral service, conducted, by Rev. W. A. Bremner, was held front Brucefield United Church on April 11th. Interment was, made in Balyd's cemetery. •Il;e will be very much missed' ;,y his old friends and neighbors. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Wheeler, Douglas, 'Henry, .' Moodie, Murdoch and Snider. The Easter Thankoffering of the Women's Missionary Society will be held next Sunday, April 6th, at the morning, service, When Miss Martin, a returned missionary from Central India,' will give the address. She is a most interesting' speaker and it is hoped the congregation , will be' well represented and that the Easter tering will be a most liberal one, as the need is so great. It is sad to think that on account of lack . of funds so• many of our missionaries will not be able to return to their be- loved Work. f e Please; what is a giff-wiff? We should greatly appreciate it`. if some well-informed person would . come forward and give ns a precise and reliable definition of this creature. In the meantime, we object to being called Giff-wiff. Strenuously. We have already made some cautious in, uiries -on the subject, andi q b the ans- wers have been vetied. Pilot Hovey said that he thought it was a small animal, found in the ocean, which, when suspended in mid-air, gives, vent to the peculiar cry of Giff-wiff, Which is clearly nonsense. That isn't a bit like what we would say if we were suspended in mid-air. Gordis Veinier said that, it was worth a great deal of money.• And if we had five cents we should be rich ... com- pared with our present circumstances. Rip Muter cheerfully announces that a giff-wiff is a person who puts things in the paper about other peo- ple. Dear Editor, he is calling you a giff-wiff! _ Every one is springing out in new Easter outfits. Marge Heard 'shone forth in a new blue coat, grey gloves and a grey hat. Dorothy Peck wears a navy coat, with a plaid skirt. Jack Nott has a new permanent ... curls in the front, and curls in the back very smart. Ellen. Charlesworth has cut all her. blonde locks off short and taken unto herself a boyish bob. It looks very cool and summery. Ran- dall Pepper decided on yellow, and appeared in a very lovely sweat -shirt of a bright canary colour. Most ev- eryone has put off their winter things and are wearing short coats. They have to keep them on in the chemis- try lab which must be near below zero, and the students have to be continually opening the windows to let some warns air in. Everyone feels frustrated about the weather in the holidays. We caught a cold the very first day, which lasted throughout the holidays, but ceased abruptly on Monday. Car- ol Taylor was even more unfortunate . she underwent an operation 3'or appendicitis. The school extends its sympathy, Y, to her. Also they e xtent their thanks to Mrs. Plumsteel, for the timely lend of her scissors to the decoration committee, who needed them badly. Bythe way, we thin': that Biggart should have gone in for a vaudeville act acrobatics of course . you should see his per- formances' on a step-faclder. Positive- ly inspiring. Well, time flies. We should like to say this in Latin, only we can't re- member if it is tempus or tenpes and it isn't worth while to look it up, although it would sound much more learned than it does in English. AI - ready the, teachers have countedthe number of clays until the final exams start, which, we tliitik is morbid .of them. And in 'clo'sintg, we just want to re- mark that anyone . who goes about calling people Giff-wiff 'is. ditsy- witsy in the head, and need never be afraid', of ,catching' brain -fever, be- cause you can't Have brain -fever without a brain. Well, there doesn't seem to be any- thing' more to say, therefore we shall close in the usual _manner ... Cheerio , until next.week.,: . .(Dear Correspondent — During a long and varied newspaper experi- ence, we've been called much worse >,anes than 'Giff-wiff at least we think we •have. What is a Giff-wiff? ,Our operator, who hag always been a funny strip hound, says its a small imaginary animal which used to fig- ure in 'funny strips long ago when he was young. Ed.)
