STORMS AND CLOUDS Hurricanes it Florida or Cuba are a 'long way from Seafor,th, and yet an amateur weather observer .here con- tends that on two occasions in recent weeks he noticed the clouds coming up from "the east over Seaforth, on the same day that hurricanes visited the 'Atlantic coast.

The total amount on de- posit at end of June, 1933, in Onbario schools was $1',2129,SI9I5.04 from 4150 schools. The comparative figures of a year ago are $11,1326,008.'4I5, number of schools 41716. In a statement to the teachers, J. IR. Littieproud, Ontario Penny Bank Inspector, says: "Many are the schemes advocated for effecting a re- turn to normalcy in the economic world. Some of them are designed to improve commerce, others to help agriculture, others to aid govern- ments. But none of them reach the masses of men and tvo'nten as directly as does the practice of personal thrift. Thrift :means good management of one's etecdme,=wise spending, and rer gular saving. Penny Bank depositlq and withdrawals, giving as they do a cross-section of a large .number of Ontario homes, indicate that the people are resolutely seeking both practices. 01 necessity, the number of withdrawals throughout the province has been great; the money is needed) for the purchase 'of essentials. But, the amounts of the withdrawals have decreased, showing greater care .iii the spending of money even for es- sentials. It is gratifying to see the large number of deposits maitftained throughout the past, difficult months, -an undeniable evidence that the people are determined to save even small sums where such saving is pos- sible. In the appended List of/schools, 80% or over of the pupils made de- posits each banking day during May and June," COMMUNICATION Editor, 1Sealforth News, (Sir, --1t is some little time since I have ventured to set down my cogi- tations on paper ogi-tationsonpaper but if this be not out of place, I shall be glad to see it in print. "Remember the Sabbath -day to keep it holy." Do these words hold meaning still? I was a guest last Sab- bath in a town in our County of Hur- on and all through the day an aero- plane roared in the sky, and I was in- formed it was taking up sightseers for a fee. What a backsliding we are witness- ing since the days of our forefathers' custom of laying aside even the scis- sors an the Sa'bbath so none might forgetfully use them and commit a desecration. And that is not long ago. Again, iI have known those "in the (Spirit on the Lord's day," who in 'har- vest refrained from fixing a broken reaper on the Sabbath; indeed, they rose shortly after midnight to com- plete the task. )Old (fashioned I am, perhaps,. be- cause 3'believe if we would have our temporal and spiritual concerns pros- per, we must- make conscience of keeping the Sabbath day holy; yet who will deny that the modern "en- lightened" Sundays (and they have their good points) with baseball, golf, motor cars, and.; everyone vying to turn a,penny, who can deny that this s responsible fol- the :state itt which the world finds itself?

I attended the foot ball game between !Walton and Winthrop. The game was going on when we ar- rived and some of the keener minds were lustily telling the boys where to brush up on their technique. At that moment George had the limelight but soon he improved, or others might have needed the insltru•ctions more. Then followed some interesting 'ballooning. Nearly every player was generously given an opportunity to show his foot- and head -work before an appreciative audience. Luck then seemed to favour Winthrop for they gat a few kicks at Walton's goal, but the ball had such seraphic ideas, that many loyal supporters of the Black wondered if their team had forgotten to soak it in the pond, (But, oh, a corner! And several more! What lovely maidens voiced "Wilson" in encouraging voices( But Walton's goalie had tricks and wolfed a couple ,over the bars. A very satisfactory game, too, from a spe'ctator's viewpoint for Winthrop, alter scoring themselves, kindly al- lowed Walton to even up the score. A great .game, so don't forget to help The" boys at the next. BEECHWOOD Our school opened on Tuesday with full attendance. Mr. and Mrs, Thos.
