However, he will, be ready for it—with plenty of storage space." The meeting was most representa- tive of the county. The district con- veners, Hugh Hill, W. L. Whyte, Herb.

Meanwhile each municipality is set- ting up local organizations and plan- ning events designed to make the peo- ple campaign conscious.

First boy pinches the lett 't*ar of serond boy; second boy re-tall- ates by pinching left ear of first boy; first boy pinches ear or boy No. 2 more severely; second 'boy comes back with greater zeal than before and so the private little contest gains in, tempo and energy. Teacher then asks them to desist. There is an im- mediate cessation of hostilities, the boys relinquish their hold, look over at theiro teacher, then shamefacedly leave the room. For, whilp. they were exemplifying ''how the quarrel be- gan," the teacher had eaten the ap- ple! , On another occasion, a large pile r,f wood had keen knocked over by two senior boys at "No. 4." As soon as •this° ungentlemanly act became known to the parents, the young of- fenders were commissioned• to ap- proach their' teacher and make ample apology for their thoughtless act. At a certain time With Mr. Mac- Gregor as our football coach, ,we were playing as usual in the large meadow across from the school and adjoining Duff's churchyard. • Possibly t h'e' teacher's watch, was, slightly out or had run down, but at any rate when school was assembled for the after- noon we found the school inspector comfortably ensconced in our teach- er's, each- er' chair, slightly'to Mr. MacGregor's discomfiture. However, no harm ap- pears to have followed the discovery that the pupils had been playing a few minutes overtime, and our inspec- tor. I imagine, was secretly pleased to know the pupils were playing the game that for so many years made Huron County so famous (Hebe Mor- rison, Sam Dickson, Dubby' Elliott, John Jackson, et alia). The most impressive incident con- nected with old "7o. 4" and Mr. Mac- Gregor took place .in 1887, the occa- sion being the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. It was held in Seaforth and. I believe. embraced the whole County of Huron. Since a prize was offered for the rural school whose registered pttpiis showed top proficiency in .marching. the master of ceremonies was Dr. Coleman, father of Thoma..=, Edward and Theodore.
