Things are pretty, lively these days
up at the Collegiate, as everyone 'is
preparing' for the annual Commence-
ment. Five 'thermometers are in the
hall of the school, one for each Form,
and on these thermometers is shown
the daily sale for . each Form of Com-
mendement tickets. So far Fourth
Form is leading in the sale of the
tickets. A prize will he given to the
Form sellingthe most tickets. In-
stend reetehaving .the- Commencement
is the school auditorium, it will be
"held in Cardno's Hall, as the stage at
the Collegiate is not large enoughfor
the big cast.
This year the Comtmencement
promises to be the best yet, so come
on, folks, and help the school. Re-
member the dates—Thursday and Fri-
day, Feb. 27 and 28th, at 8 p.m., and
the hall is guaranteed to be warm.
Last Thursday evening the pupils
'of Fifth Form held a toboggan party
at Walter McMillan's farm. Every-
body had an enjoyable time and some
•of the inexperienced town pupils were
taught some things in the art of farm-
ing
* " i' *
All the other activities in the
school have been. stopped as all the
time, possible is .',being put on, the

On Tuesday morning after the pig
snow storm, the school was practical-
ly isolated, ;::as just one little thin
trail led there. One Fifth Form girl
was caught away from home during
the raging blizzard con Monday night.
As she could not get home she had
to seek shelter for" the night from a
kind farmer. Sthe is now nicknamed
"Pilot."

In order to facilitate, the movement
of Weetern,feedi grain to Ontario far-
mers at reasonable prices, the Fed-
eral and Provinelal Departaaents of
Agriculture .have' agreed upon the,

er.
This policy takes effect February

The regulations have been designed,
to interfere as Little as possible with

those livestock feeders who are in
need of food grain at reasonable pric-
es.
riges. '
Huron county farmers are urged to
deal through authorized feed dealers,
farmers' clubs and co-operative as-
sociations.
In order to protect .the policy from
abuse, farmers will he required to
sign ORDER FORMS. • When a dealer
.has enough orders :for a carload', a
permit will be issued by the Agricul-
tural Representative. ' Farmers will
'take delivery Ag. the food grain when
the car arrives at the local station.
The dealer will have the freight re-
funded after he has supplied the Agri-
cultural Representative with a list of
farmers receiving grain from that
particular car.
The railway rate from, the head -of
the lakes to, most poi"rrts in Ontario
is 25 cents per cwt, .Minimum, ear
for oats, 60,000 lbs. and 80,000 lbs.
for barley..
Dealers are requested to get in
touch with Mr. Shearer, "Clinton, for
blank otter forms. Farmers desiring
feed grain are requested to get in
touch with their local feed dealer or
farmers' club.
Two workmen settled down to eat

stared in surprise,
"What's that?" the asked.
"Well, it's like this. My misses is
away, so I thought I'd make meself a
pie."
"Bit long, ain't it?"
"Oh, I dunno. It's rhubarb."

In dhis report Mr. Reid said in part:
"1940 has.. passed and left with it a
word §till torn by 'strife. or your
company it has brought a continued
improvement in your financial posi-
tion. This shows careful underwrit-
ing which naturally results. in a fav-
orable loss ratio.
"The first two months of 1940 gave
us cause to worry with the three maj-
or losses of the year, namely, two
dwellings and one barn•. Both dwel-
lings were listed as 'overheated pipes,'
and the barn as 'upset- lantern. Could
these losses have been avoided? Yes.
Losses have a, direct bearing, on each
policyholder, but to the individualthe
loss is serious and will be felt for
Many years.
"Nineteen -forty records_disclose
many small fire bosses, anone of
which might have become serious.
Lightning losses are also. above aver-
age. The Department of Insurance
maintains that livestock lightning
losses cau be reduced by proper
grounding of all wire fences.'
"We are at war and conservation
of money and material wealth is an
all-important factor in, winning this
war. Do your share by using the fol-
lowing precautions:
•
"Clean chitaneys and pipes regular-
ly; keep stovepipes ateay from all
wood; remove all rubbish; deposit
ashes cele in.metai'containers; avoid"
use of gasoline;•do not use kerosene
to start fires; watch and clean coal
oil stoves and lanterns; smokers be
careful, extinguish and break your
match before you throw it away;
practise: fire prevention methods
daily. .Your efforts, undoubtedly, sav-
ed a heavy property loss or the life
of one or more dear to you, which is.
the most dreadful disaster of all dwel-
ling fires."
