I lust love throwing kid's 'books and 'shoes around, But let them do It to m'e and I'd-4-4—well! The kid's just did It for "Nlrldie"; you didn't want your books anyway, did you? I didn't know there were so .many Scotch people in our school. Mon- day must 'havebeen one of theirdm- portant festivals, becauseeverywhere you looked, on girl or boy, you saw , a plaid shirt. Bright blues, flashing reds, gaudy greens, and even a super brown one, worn by that daring Fourth Former. Maybe this doesn't sound' too bad, but the worst was that they weren't tucked in neatly under their skirt§ or trousers — no, 4 they were hanging out long and big! S . econds to lumberjacks I've ever .een! Last Friday we had as our talent Peggy Willis, who played "On Wings of Song." And I'll bet many of us didn't know we had such an elegant player. Chopin and Cavallaro will have nothing on you, Peggy. Keep en with your music, and good luck. We know that our timid little Fourth Former isn't as shy as she has led us to believe. She was so excited when she saw all the boys coming out of the gym that while gasping she fell and dropped her books all over the steps. You've spilt the beans that time, "Princess”— .you're not so shy! Glee Glitters We have a fine cast for our oper- etta, but we still have chorus also. Even it it .seems a minor part, it is still very important in our operetta. So everyone come out to the practis- es; we've only got three weeks left. Nobody, is surprised at anything that happens on Hallowe'en and we aren't surprised that Qur sprightly witty "Jo" was born on such a day. What a Hallowe'en joke! Poor thing, , after we got tbropgh with. you, I'll bet your back was pretty sore. Do you wonder what's been amus- ing Fifth Form lately? Well, I know, and here's what happens: Ev- eryone will all be sitting bent over his books working hard at their stu- Chesterfields and Occasional' Cliairs REPAIRED AND RECOVERED Ale° Auto Seats and Backe, Verandah "Swinge and Steamer Chairs Repaired.

YOU guessed it: It was a cat. put thein a couple of days after that everyone was again bent over their books and all of a sudden, "Moo-oo," and everyone looks up to smile, and the animal "Moo-oo-oo'd" again, and everyone. laughed—yes, it was Daisy herself! The sound came from the direction of the home of 'a cute Fourth Form- er. Has she got a cow? Bumping into a door is the excuse someone gives when he has a black eye, but "Dimple's" excuse for a big Up is that she was shoved into the wall. Do you believe it? Yes it sounds fishy! The Ninth." Victory Loan is still in full force. Remember, folks, you aren't buying bonds and certificates for guns and ammunition any more; you're buying them for rehabilitation and to bring our boys home. ' Yes, you've bought bonds and certificates as much as you thought you could af- ford. You will be able to tell the boys, when they get home, that you bought bonds for them. But in your heart, culd you tell the boys that didn't come back and who won't come back, that you bought every possible bond you could? And. we school kids, have we bought all the stamps we could? If everyone of us bought a certificate it would add up to the amount of a bond, and that would mean 'our contribution to the boys who enlisted right from our school and help bring them all home. So we will keep on buying more War Sav- ings Stamps, won't we? Don't tell me the Ford strike has escaped to the S.H.S. Some kind of conspiracy is lurking in Second Form. What goes, kids? There must be some solution, Think it over. This is just a word of warning to a certain Fifth Former. It's getting very monotonous for us, every noon and after four, to have to look for our coats. Just because you leave it till the last dog's hung to come to school, doesn't say that you have the right to throw your coat on some one else's, so that at noon and after four you can always 'hear someone say- ing, ""Where's my coat?" There are enough hooks for everyone! Now, "Shorty," you've hada your warning. Next time• it will be turn -about play! No, the Christmas exams haven't started yet. But it sure looked like it one morning when the Upper School Latin students were so en- thused in their studying that they walked right into assembly, book in hand, still meditating over their work: I wonder if it was true medi- tation? .

Serious Fire Averted Destruction of the Looby block was narrowly averted Tuesday morning when fire, which destroyed a shed at- tached to the west side of the build- ing, was noticed. by Mrs. Cecil Van Horne, Union St., at 10.30 o'clock. At the time Mrs. Van Horne saw the fire from the window of•• her neighboring house the flames had a good grip 'On the shed and were beginning to burn their way through a heavy wooden door leading into f'he main part of the ,two-storey bj-ick structure, Farm- ers in town at the time answered a hasty call for volunteers and 'formed a bucket brigade from a pump at the Van Horne house. Unable to control the fire in the shed they pulled the shed away from the building and then attacked the burning door with wa- ter. The fire was, stopped when only charred remnants of the door were stopping the spread of the fire to the interior of the building. The .building is occupied by Gerald Holland's but- cher shop, Daniel Costello's poolroom and Wm. J. Cleary's undertaking par- lors. Looby's dance hall occupies the second floor. The fire is believed to have been started by small boys play- ing with matches Monday afternoon. A small fire was discovered Monday and it was believed put out then. It is now thought that it smouldered overnight and broke out Again. Dam- age is estimated At $400. The owner is Mrs. A. M.

The organization of Poppy' Oay, the sales of wreaths and poppies, the handling of monies collected, the in- vestigation n vestigation and relief ,of roll appli- cants, are done by voluntary workers. No man or woman connected in any, way with this receives one cent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allowance for expenses. All monies collected are placed in a special ac- count which is controlled, by a Board of Trustees of this Branch. Every expenditure made is approved and ev- ery account checked by,the Board. Every applicant for relief is investi- gated carefully but sympathetically. Relief may take the form of food, clothing, fuel, rent or medical assist- ance. It is practically never issued in cash. Over a million • and a half citizens of Ontario wore a Poppy in Remem- brance last November. Five'thou- sand wreaths were placed in Church- es and at Memorials in honor of the dead. Every man, woman ---'and child in. Ontario is expected to wear a Poppy on Remembrance Day. Should any of our friends desire further information on any ,Point in connection with Poppy Fund activi- ties, our Branch Secretary will be glad to supply it. The Canadian Leg- ion is grateful for the hearty support they have always received from the general public to make the lot of the distressed ex -service man easier, and it is our hope that there will be no partial or permanent blackout for them.

An announce- ment has been made by W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply repres- entative for Western Ontario, that all restrictions on the manufacture of men's, youths' and, boys' woollen out- wear have been revoked. Mr. McPhillips explained the lifting of restrictions would mean that dou- ble-breasted suits, formal wear, and various types of sport jackets could now be made. Although the production of men's suits this year is expected to be five per teat higher than in 1944. one- third of the production is being re- served' for demobolized servicemen. Ration Coupon Due Dates Coupons now valid are sugar 46 to 65, butter 115 to 128, preserves 33.'ta 57 and P1 to P19, meat Mi to M10. CORN PRICES" Maximum prices of all types of domestic white and yellow corn are now established by moisture contest' only, according to an announcement of the regional office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Previous Ur this maximum prices were establish- ed according to grade and moisture content. This action was necessitated by this year's light crop and on requests from growers and corn dealers. Distributors Allowed To Increase Amount of Cream Milk distributors are now allowed- to llowedto sell 10 per cent more butterfat in the form of cream, according to W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario on the Wartime Prices and Trade 'Board. This increase will provide for the greater population owing to returned service personnel, but will keep the per capita consumption at about last year's level. However, Mr. McPhillops pointed out that the increased allowance is no indication of a better supply con- dition, but is granted because of the problems of distribution arising from the increasesd population.
