Welj, bere we are .egailll, and how are things? ?lF 8F The boys have been.. 1f'actiaing fopt- ball after four for a long time, So last Monday theygave the school en exhibition, of their work. After the girls had arr'anged themselves along the caw n s, the teams tiled out. Man, oh man What physiques! Those pad- ded shoulders sure gave you flays e. real he-man shape.! And did Yon -see that gay, "live wire" from First Form kicking up his heels as he pranced out on the field, yelling like a hyena? The two teams, under the leadership of Davy Wilson and Butch Beattie, lined up for the kick-off, The whistle blew and they were off! Some one grabs the ball, and immediately a dozen players are after him; he kicks the ball and someone else makes a tackle for it, and then the others rush up. What a brush heap! But the boys didn't seem to worry. Butch Beattie got the first touchdown 4 and his team came out on top, 8-6. Fine playing, boys! We hope you will play again soon. Did you see the young First Form- er who was gazing starry-eyed at his lovely heroine in Fourth? He was so enchanted while looking at her that he dropped his books and trip- ped going up the steps. From now on, young man, keep your eyes off the pretty girls! We had two more boys start school this week. One is new to our school; we welcome you, "Max," and hope you will soon get to know us all. The. other is an ex -student; you already know us, but we're glad to have you back, "Johnny." Good luck to you both.

People go barefooted; they are dressed in rags which have been patched over and over again. ' You've seen their bombed homes, and the shacks and shelters in which they' now reside. Yes, we feel pity for them. We thank God that we live in 'Oanada, a coun- try' which has not suffered. Maybe that's why we don't realize just how bad conditions are in foreign coun- tries. But even if we don't really understand, we can buy War Savings Stamps, which gives our money to men who use it -tri advantage. So, kids, think about these unfortunate people; pity them, and ,buy War Sav- ings Stamps on Wednesday. 3 3 3 There are really some daring ways to advertise someone's occupation, such is that of "Maizie's" occupation. Just take a look at the back of her green cardigan. • -3 3 We had a sing -song in assembly last Friday morning, led by our love- ly "Shorty" Bechely. I guess we'll have to spruce up on our old songs. We were pretty slack, but we do like sing -songs once in a while. 3 3 3 Glee Glitters Well, kids, our operetta is well on its way and we won't have much more than a month to have it all pre- pared, but your co-operation is en- couraging. Let's see all you boys out next time. How about it, fellows? * 3 3 On behalf of the whole school, I wish to congratulate you, Mr. Fox. We hope "she" and .her mother are coming along fine and will soon be home with you. May she grow up to be lovely and. intelligent and be a credit to you and Mrs. Fox, for never could she have a finer father and mother. P.S.—Would • you like to know if "Shorty's" ration coupons have run out yet? Well she didn't wait for them to run out; she discarded the book and the one who gave it to her, last week.

When joining the army they came from all walks of life—the city, town, village, farm, logging camp, mines and transients and rod -riders. After being in the army for a short time they soon became welded into one community where they are hap- py in •the fellowship of camp life. Now the day has" come when they are being discharged and left feeling almost alone in a world where no one seems to care what becomes of them. The speaker stressed the fact that we owe these men a great debt of gratitude for what they.have done for us, and it is up to us to go to them and make them feel at home and not wait for them to come and fit into our community life. Let us not forget that they were -not too busy to go for our sakes; then let us do our part for them. The Warden was then called upon to say a few words. On behalf of the County Council he welcomed all who were there and pledged continued support from the ' county council to the association. In closing, he moved a vote of thanks to the speaker of the evening. Mr. Robert Bowman, reeve of Brus- sels and. representative of the county council to the executive of the H.C. L.A., then spoke of the growth of the association since its inception in 1941 and gave a resume of its work for the benefit of those who were just comfsg in. He took great pleasure in seconding the motion of thanks ten- dered by the Warden, to which all responded heartily. Mr. Harry Sturdy, of Auburn, presi- dent of the Huron Federation of Ag- riculture, spoke of the willingness of the Federation to co-operate with the Library Association in their work and received information on how farm forums and schools could join and receive the benefits of library ser- vice. • Fordwich and Wroxeter public lib- raries and the Ethel public school joined the association. The Ethel school is the first school to join the association. These members will re- ceive their quota of books at the next exchange in December. After the general meeting was ad- journed the executive held, a short session when Mrs. Eckmier""was auth- orized to purchase office 'equipment for the new H.C.L,A office to be set up temporarily at 59 Newgate Street, Goderich. The Blyth public library board served a dainty lunch. The Huron County Library Associa- tion belongs to the people of Huron, and all libraries, school areas, farm forums and responsible organizations are welcome to join and make use of this worth while service. >F a A c , I9iavo OO:i10 tp r,f!Or 'meld ali'tpr 4004.4; her parents, 'Mr ,4 Mr, 14oy41'lrl�ni from oversoae, Ilia wigs ext tali:!:` • Dead of Tr 0, Hemphill Following a heart attack, whheii he suffered about four o'clock Monday' morning, Thomas Ceorge.femphill, of Wroxeter, ,'passed allddd'flly away in his 73rd year. Mr. Hempl!ii11 had suf- fered a weak spell -while returning from his mill to the. 1Jquse Sunday afternoon, but it was not thought that his condition was serious: He was a native of Wroxeter, his parents be- ing the late Mr. ' and Mrs. Thomas Hemphill. For a time he was en- gaged i nthe hardware business with his father, but for the past 40 years had conducted a milling business. His wife was the former Lottie Brawn, of Wroxeter, to whom be was married forty-seven years ago. He leaves to mourn his sudden passing his wife, two sisters and a brother; Mrs. Corn- elius Cook, Hensell; Mrs. Lulu Smyth of Nelson, B.C., and- Alvin Hemphill, druggist, Hensen.

"It is very much in the national Jul., terest that woods' .operators shgald" secure all the workers they require," - says Mr. Mitchell, "Home building in Canada will be helped or hindered. nextyear, to a large extent, by the cut of saw logs in the woods during this winter. The pulp and paper in- dustry is very important to our ex- port xport trade. The reconstruction of Britain and Continental Europe will call for huge quantities of lumber and Canada must be prepared to meet a large part of this demand." So, if you can be spared from the farm, or whatever other job you are doing this- winter, here's your chance to work in a very essential job. Ration hooks which will be issued to immigrants or new born babies will not contain the full year's quota of extra coupons for sugar for can- ning, according to the regional ration office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. October the 31st was the last day that new applicants could obtain the extra sugar for canuing coupons. The exception to this Is in the case of discharged service personnel. .Ration books for these men or women will contain 1.0 extra coupons which will be good for five pounds or sugar. Restrictions Lifted' Trappers Fur played a decisive role in the early history of our country. Trap. ping is sti11 an important occupation in Canada, as an exhibit in the Royal Ontario Museum reminds urban dwel- lers. Right now the trappers are preparing for their active season and in the backwoods stores are ordering traps and ammunition, and flour, salt, tea and other staples. Some trappers will return from their trap lines for a Christmas visit, but others will not come back to the settlement with their catch until af- ter the spring break-up. Bales of furs will be sent from the local post to the large centres. Much of it, along with pelts from the .fur farms, will help to swell our export trade. Smith was sitting down to break- fast one morning when he veaas astounded to see in the paper an an- nouncement of his own death. He rang up his friend Jones at once. "Hello, Jones," he shouted ex- citedly, "have you seen the announce- ment of my death in the paper?" "Yes," replied Jones. "Where are you speaking from?" The feminine half of the world may now indulge their fancies for long dresses, if they wish, because the Wartime Prices and Trade Board have lifted restrictions on the manu- facture of wedding gowns, dinner and evening dresses, and evening skirts, according to W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario. In 1942 the Board prohibited the manufacture of any long dresses. Now the cancellation of these regu- lations brings the Canadiar, regula- tions in line with the United States. Mr. McPhillips warned, however. that the lifting of the restrictions did not mean that long dresses would be immediately availablea, This will de- pend on the amount of 'Materials that will be available for this purpose. Record Snake 1 Visiting a bombed area for the first time, the woman from the country was much impressed by the work of the A.R.P. "How does it happen that there's always-, a warden on the spot right after the bomb falls?", she asked a policeman. "Haven't you heard, madam" he re- plied solemnly, "the warden comes down with . the bomb." The Royal Ontario Museum has- en exhibit a living garter snake, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest example of the species ever to have been captured 'tad measur- ed. It is approximately fifty inches long. ' The largest previously known record size for the species was an Ohio specimen which measured 44 inches in length. From what little is known about the rate of ,growth of garter snakes under wild Conditions, it *did appear 0 Jimson: "Captain, what shall I do if I get seasickness?" Captain: "Don't worry about that.

During the sante period the total cheese production was 851,000,000 pounds. HOG MARKETING SCHEME UNDER ,,CONSIDERATION \ ! ;ly proposed Hog -01 , 1 Marketing Scheme for Ontario, -under the Farm Products Control Act, has been submitted to the Farm Products Control Board by the Ontario Hog Producers Association. Before the Board will consider recom- mending the scheme, it must be satisfied that a fair representation of the Hog Producers are in favour of its adoption.
