This week tickets for the dance came out and "the students are asked to buy and -ell as many as they can. Come on, kids! This dance has to he. a sueeess . . . or else! It is rumoured 'that many of the first and second form boys are not going to the dance. Is this true er just a. rumour? Much has been said about this dance, but if you boys don't ask your girls to go, or go yourself, ev- eryone will be in a fine mess. What do you say, boys? Dig deep for that 65 cents. It may seem like a lot of' money, but you must remember the cause is a worthy one, so we hope to see you at :the dance. For the next two weeks an editorial will appear in this column, written by one of the fourth form students. Per- haps these editorials should -"be given careful consideration, at least we hope they will. Movies—And How Muoh? 'Why has this town no student rate to the theatre? With taxes placed on all tickets, how is the average stud- ent to see the show he would like to? It may seem selfish and unpatriotic of him to attend shows, but the morale of the student must be kept up. You can -not• take• all his pleasures away, even in wartime.. The theatre owner is in business to make. money—or is she? Does she never think of the number of students who do not attend the show because Ire has not the required price? If -she were to ?give a' student rate of 25 or .30 cents, would there not be more students attend than at the present price of 42 cents? The theatre owner . does •not realize that the student has not the money ;the boy or girl who is working has. He can not be put on •an eil,ual basis as these boys and girls, • but at the ticket office the same price is asked of him. T:he average stu- dent has to make his weekly allow- ance of fifty cents last the week. Can he• go to movies and still buy the Ith'ings.,}expected of him? He is ex- petted at school to buy War Savings Stamps. •If -he does this his show has to be put off for another week.' He cannot buy a War Savings Stamp and see a show on fitfy cents a week. A don't seem to find time to see 'him, show to him is not all pleasure. He but hope to - Ohri'stmas day. When I learns history, geography and other subjects from the pictures. He learns "what' war means and is given a pic- ture of life in 'toe war-torn countries, of Europe. Do you want the students lot your town to become like those in Germany? No.! You want them to be wise and realize what :1$ happening in` the world. You: do not"w"ant your boys just as good. Miss Allan and' the Third Form students are to be con- gratulated for their splendid work and co-operation in making the program' a success. The following poem is dedicated to First and Second Forms and to the boys especially: To First and Second Forms, Come on, kids, we're having a dance, Can't you see? This is our chance To show the Board we appreciate A really good dance in our Collegiate. We must patronize the good old jig And make the 'affair go off big; When we're dancing on the floor We're really helping in the war. For every sixty-five cents that's made Is helping Russia with 'a new barr•a- cade; • Tip Tipping's orchestra's really hot, We hope you',11 all be oh the spot. Dancing starts sharp at nine, And by the way 1 hear we dine; If you don't waltz or even jive, Don't stick at home but make a strive. There'll be games and loads of fun For you, for me, for everyone! Come on, kids, we're having a dance; Can't yen see? This is our chance . To show we "ALL" appreciate 4. really good dance in our Collegiate. —By Jean 'Hurford Questions of the Week What certain third. form student has changed to a canary?. Well,' at least he didn't turn into a "pidgeon." -What certain fourth form girl lost her sense of direction coming out of the Latin room and ran right into the wall?

The School News has been full. of the news about the Arts Club dance, but' no mention, has been made about the town people. The residents of Seaforth are cordial- ly invited to attend the Seaforth Col- legiate Arts Club dance on March 4, 1943, in the Collegiate.

Christmas parcel •arrived on Dec. 2d, • and words cannot express. just how much I ;appreciated ,a little remembrance from my ".old home town." Our boys had a very, nice Christmas and fortunately ' the sur- roundings were very, seasonable. Sus- sex is a 1odely spot and the towns- people ':have made the soldiers feel very much at home. Best regards to all and may the splendid work df your society have continued ,success, It is very much appreciated by all of•' us who are in the armed forces.—"Bob" Hamilton." "I must offer my apology for being so long in writing to you to thank the Unit for the gift I receiver( at Christ- mas. I assure you that I appreciate it very much and the kindness of the Walton people in sending it. I delay- ed writing until the future appeared more certain, At the end of the year I was warned for overseas, but no time was mentioned. I have enjoyed my etrk here, but look forward to overseas. I consider .myself fortunate in being assigned to the unit I am go- ing with. I know the commanding of- ficer and a number of the officers add men. Mrs. Gilbert and the children are fine.

Cana- dian farmers would do well 'to con- sider an observation made, recently by a country Vet who said, "Many farm- ers make certain that their animals are fed. a Balanced ration, and then forget that a thirsty co* gives less milk.' Tests -show that dairy 'ca.ttle which are watered twice a day,produce more milk than cattle which get water on- ly once a day. As pork is needed in ever increas- i, g quantities for shipment to Great Uiitain, as well as for home consump- tion, it is also well to remember that hogs grow faster.,when '.they are giv- en plenty to drink. Specialists in an- 'mal-•• nutrition say that tp gain one pound in weight a hog must not only eat. approximately six pounds of food but also drink five .pounds of water. Poultry, similarly requires ample supplies of water and when insuffici- ent water is given egg proc]irction de- clines. • The water required by live stock costs little or nothing on most farms, but the lack of it may mean consider- able loss of production. Personalities- of Britain at War (By Sidney Horniblow in "Parade") Admiral Cunningham built up such a remarkable reputation in the• Medi- terranean that the task of a:siilccessor in this commatnd, one of the most ins - portant in the sea war, is heavy in- deed. The Axis, however, cannot ex- pect any relief when they think of the newcomer, Sir Henry Harwood, who, on replacing Sir Andrew there, took the acting rank of admiral. There is no solace for Mussolini's fleet, or for the Germans in that area of action either, in knowing thatop- posing them now is the man who gained one of the most brilliant naval victories of this war, and whose re - co -rd is one. in which daring has aon- t iilally colored astute judgment. Whatever else Harwood is rem m- bered for, and he has ,had a long and distinguished career, his name will al- ways' be associated with the historic battle of the River Plate when the much -vaunted' German battleship, Ad- miral Graf Spee, scuttled herself af- ter being strapped and damaged .by three small British ships which, if she had been clever -enough, she, could have shot out of the water. • The battle took place within a few months of beginning.. hostilities, and it brought to Commodore Harwood, as. :he was then, the first krnighthood of the war'plus promotion to the rank of rear -admiral. Harwood tells .a story about that knighthood. -In the River Plate action an eleven-incb shell from the Graf Spee went into a port cabin in his, ship, wrecked the Captain's bathroom and also Harwood's bathroom, and ended up in his bunk. When the news was wirelessed to him that he had been made a Knight Commander of the Bath, and the captain a Com- panion of the Bath, a sailor standing nearby was heard to say: "Blimey— and they ain't got a bath between their-!" "Hey, Bill!" yelled the electrician to his helper, "grab hold,of one of those wires." "O.K.," said Bili. "I've got one." "Feel anything?" "Nope." "flood! I wasn't sure which was 'rh!ch. Don't touch the other!" • "What do you want with a new hat?" "Oh, a new frock, •some stockings and a new pair of shoes. Thank you, dear!" • ' "Is It true, Miss Lollop, •that you are going' to be,married se i?" "No, it land..

"My three ships," he said, "just slid into action and maintained their positions in spite of their damage. They fought like tigers." He declared that it was one of the proudest .moments of his life waren the aircraft 'from his ship reported' that the Graf Spee had blown herself up. And when it was all over—when he received the news by wireless from London that he had been knighted in honor of?.the victory, he signalled to the other ships ofhis squadron: "Thank you, boys!" - He is a Londoner, who has been in the Navyr since he was a boy. And hes has two sons also eager to follow, their father. The eldest, Cyprian Hen- ry, aged fourteen, has already enter- ed the famous Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. The younger boy,• Steph- en, aged seven, is alsodestined for the Navy. It's typical of Harwood to tell a like that about himself, for be' is just one, of the most jovial men you could wish to meet. Rosy-cheeked, plump and fifty-four years of age, he's one of the most warm-hearted and popu- lar men in the British Navy -- and a brilliant leader. Listen to some of the tributes other officers paid him for his conduct of the Graf Spee bat- tle. Captain Parry of the cruiser,Achil- les, which took part in the action, said that the whole credit for the de- feat of the Graf Spee must go to Har- wooc.. Sir Henry, he said;' was par- ticularly clever in .three things:- •he concentrated his three cruisers, Ajax, Exeter .and Achilles exactly at the right time and the right place, and the move was completed only the day before the action. Instead of running Away, as the Germans thought our ships would, Harwood made , up bin mind that at whatever time and place, day or, night, he encountered the Graf Stec, he would attack. "And finally," said Captain Parry, "although my ship had only just join- ed the squadron, Harwood gave orders so unmistakable that I knew re,tactly what I had •to do if we ,met the Graf Spee.'{ a Another naval authority declared that Harwood's victory proved that weight of metal was not necessarily the most decisive factor in a naval battle—that mere material superior ity could not always prevail against courage, skill and determination:'• Har - wood's strategy was in the direct line of descent from that skill in man- oetiver which oharacterized ' those 4rea.t British sea oommanders in the old dais of sail- - Harwood began •his naval •career in the training ship Britannia. He was a midshipman in 1904, a lieutenant in 1908, and in 1912 he began specializ- ing in torpedoes. During the last war he was torpedo officer of the cruiser Sutlej, and the, battleship Royal Sov- ereign. - Immediately after the War he join- ed the flagship of 'the South ,Ameaican station, and then, qualifying in 'Staff duties after his promotion to the rank of commander in 1921, he was employ- ed in the Plans Division at the Ad- miralty, later ,being given command of the Cumberland on the China station. There followed then years of steady promotion. In 1931 he attended tete Imperial Defence, College. For two years he ,was flag captain of the II.o -- don; First. Cruiser Squadron, Mediter- ranean, for two years on the _Staff of the Wax College at Greenwich. Now began 'his long term of office as commodore commanding the •South American division, which was thepost he held when. his three cruisers met j" the German battleship Graf Spee. During his term in command i South America he earned the respect and friendship of countless admirers! • whenever die went ashore. The Uru- guayans came to regard the Alas as "their" ship. .In Montevideo, Harwood was idolized. They declared tL t'ishfs' "big, red-faced, jovial, hearty': • r - man". was a first-class diplomat who' thoroughly understood' the Latin. tem- perament. He talked Spanish so welit that he could joke in it, which wn8 much aippreciatedsby .the lrruguayans. Everyone who has.. met Harwood,.ev_ ery sailor who has served under him, will tell you that he is a Britisher of the good old fighting type. This, is the man then who, his recent term of office as a Commissioner of the Admiralty and- an ndan Assistant Chief of Naval Staff, took - dfiarge in the Mediterranean. A fitting postscript is the coml:amit from a man who stood. beside Bl'ar- wood on the bridge 'thron.ghout the Graf Spee battle. "You cannot .teach him anything about fighting," .'Said this, man, "be knows all there t to know." • Dead and Disabled Animals REMOVED PROMPTLY PHONE COLLECT: -SEAFORTH 15 EXETER 235 DARLING AND CO.
