"You've done a swell poo!"
Everyone in the Glee Club were
deeply interested in their practising,
when all of a sudden, Wham! Some-
one over in the corner fell, or was
kicked. Did he slide off the end of
the gym horse? Did the gym horse
kick him? 10r was he looking at the
pretty girls in'the chorus? You may
draw your own conclusions. But
next time;' "Jonsie," watch yourself!
Glee Glitters
Well, kids, two weeks from Friday
you're going to be bursting with
pride. You will be proud of your-
selves because our operetta is going
to be better than a big success. Miss
Turnbull and Miss Savauge have
done everything for us: Now all we
have to do is learn our parts, and
that takes lots of practise. Our di-
rectors are more than willing, so let's
turn out to all practises; the pres-
enee' of everyone of 'you is so im-
portant.
Well, hi Chick! Here she comes.
"Berr," that red-headed bomb -shell
from Fifth with that super zooty
"name" Sweater. I'm afraid you've
started something!' So now, if you
kids see yourown names staring'gou
in the face, you'll know it's just the
latest fad. It's really a swell idea,
"Berr," and you do look sharp'
You expect little boys to do play-
ful and childish things, but do you
expect to see teen-age boys playing
with paper aeroplanes, shooting them
about with an elastic, until he has to
have it taken away from him? No!
You wouldn't expect it, but that dark,
handsome Second Former hasn't
grown up yet. I guess . . . Oh, well,
little boys must have their fun,
Last Thursday atter everyone was
seated, comfortably ,in assembly,
moving plteture was exhibited by 1J r.
Johnston.' It proved to be very edu-
cational, . because it showed ins' what
,happened to one's mind when under
the influence of alcohol. The picture
stressed the point that 'even just one
drink is just as harmful to the brain
as half a dozen more would be, and
could cause any kind of an accident.
I'm sure it has taught us the wrong
of alcohol, and that even when we
are old enough to drink we will hesi-
tate, think about that picture, and
say "No!"
Where there's a fight, there's us-
ually a crowd, and that's where ev-
eryone was last week. They were
going right to it; the crowd was yell-
„
Red";
ins, "Come on, on, Hat.
The trouble was that no one won.
What were they fighting over? Was
it really antogonism in school? •
Friday morning we held a little: ser-
vice commemorating Armistice Day,
to praise our, ,glorious dead of both
world wars. After a two minute sil-
ence, an appropriate poem, "For the
Fallen," was read by Doris Ferguson,
and' then Lois Whitney sang, "Land
of Hope and Glory." Mr. C. M. Smith
introduced our guest speaker, Squad-
ron Leader Ian MacTavish, an ex -
grad, whose talk to us has still left
us breathless. Aside from the pri-
vations of war and the awe of the
war-torn people, he marvelled at their
courage and relationship, and he an-
swered our questions with much en-
thusiasm. His mission was tough and
it took a real 'guy' to fulfil it. That's
why we congratulate you, Sqd. Lead -

Our future is very important to us,
isn't it? Many of • us want to be
lawyers. doctors, teachers, engineers
and other professions that require
more advanced education, which costs
money. Sonie are not going to be
able 'to study further because their
parents can't. afford to send them
through. But if we started now to
save our money and invest it, we
would have almost enough because
that money is increased after seven
years. It's the finest investment in
the world and serve's in more than
one way. So let's buy those War
Savings Stamps now, for our future.
The teachers had a visit last Tues-

Gordon McGavin, president of the'

also spoke briefly.
It was announced that the Goderich

Clerk N. ' y. Miller read the fol-
lowing,correspondence, which was re-
ferred to various committees: '
A resolution from the County of
Middlesex asked concurrence in a pe-
tition to the Department of Game and
Fisheries,, to amend the Game and
Fisheries Act to permit counties to
pay a bounty on foxes.
Concurrence is asked my the Coun-
ty of Elgin in a resolution recom-

The County of Simcoe asked ap-
proval of a resolution that the Pro-
vincial Government be approached
with a view to having a welfare unit

1945, a sufficient supply of chestnut
anthracite coal from the American
Government so that the production of
poultry products can- be kept at the

He'll get a thorough training, and can even receive university instruction

Wednesday Session
Huron County Council on Wednes-
day afternoon endorsed the recom-
mendation of the property committee
that steps be taken to proceed with
the erection of a new court house and
that L. Bridgman, of London, be en-
gaged as the architect. The motion
adopting the report was carried on a
division of 27-1.
After some discussion, a motion by
Reeves Attridge and Baker that the
location of the proposed new court
house be on the present site, was re-
ferred to the property committee for
consideration.
PIans submitted by Mr. Bridgman
were discussed. Two showed a re-
modelling of the present building,
making three storeys, at an estimat-
ed cost of $155,000.' Another' showed
a remodelling and an addition of two
wings at $175,000. The' fourth was.
for an entirely new building at $275,-
000.
P1 ns secured at a session in 1941
gay" estimated cost of refurnish-
ing
It
court room alone was between
$12,000 or $14,000.
The county is paying rent for some
of the offices and it was the general
opinion that these should be housed
in one building with a central heat-
ing plant: Reeve Bowman stated
that % of a mill on the tax rate for
three years would pay .for the new
building.
Reeve Tuckey passed on a sugges-
tion that the jail property might be
used for the new building, which
could include a block of cel]s.,,Some
reeves favored this idea, and the dis-
cussion ended by referring the loca-
tion to the property committee.
Mr. McGill, secretary -treasurer
Cub Aircraft Corporation, of H 11 -
ton, addressed the council regarding
leasing land and buildings st Sky
Harbor airy°ort. His company manu-
factures aeroplanes and seaplanes
and the site would be ideal for his
business owing to the vicinity of the
lake. Flying clubs would be wel-
comed and his company would assist
them in every way possible.
The proposition won the approval
of Warden Alexander, who thought it
would be a fine thing for the county.
"There is no use letting the land be-
come a pasture," he added.
Communications from the Depart-
ment of Transport, the Department
of National Defence for Air, and the
War Assets Corporation had been re-
ceived regarding the disposition 'of
Sky Harbor airport, but no definite
statement 'las, as yet, been received
as to when this property will be turn-
ed over to the county.
Warden Alexander stated at the
'Wednesday morning' session ofcoun-
cil that the executive of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association had decided
that the Port Albert airport would be
an ideal location for the International
Plowing Match to be held in Huron
County next year. He pointed ,out
that the building would be available
for exhibits of machinery, and for
other purposes. It was felt the site
would be a drawing card. Some stub-
ble land adjoining would have to be
secured.
No definite answer has been given
by the Department of National De-
fence for Air to the association's re-
quest for the use of the airport, and
the Warden's suggestion that the,
county support them by sending a
telegram from the council to the de-
partment
opartment was approved.
The council endorsed the motion of
Reeves R. J. "Bowman and B. W.
Tuckey that the council recommend
to the 1946 council that $2,000 be giv-
en to the Ontario Plowmen's Associa-
tion to assist them with the plowing
match.
The warden's committee reported
an expenditure of $26,449.50 from the
war effort fund, leaving a balance of
$5,180.50. The school Victory Loan
contest was sponsored and financed
at a cost of approximately $60.

' A' report of the Ontario municipal
convention was given by Reeves
Berry, of Usborne, and Brown Smyth,
of West Wawanosh. Difference of
opinion, they reported; was shown on
the present registration of births, and
approval of a county ruling on the
bounty for foxes.
It was pointed out during a discus-
sion on the latter that the pelts have
t� be turned in and destroyeu in or-
der to be eligible for the bounty.
Reeve Brown Smyth asked who is
responsible if livestock is shot by
deer -hunters. It was the opinion that
the latter- should be. It was pointed
out that there is no restriction as to
type of firearms used for deer hunt-
ing.
'I think after this season the'e will
be no deer left," Reeve Smyth de-
clared.
Reeve G. Frayne, ,Ashfield,was of
the opinion that "if the county as-
sumes responsibility for deer hunting
it should do the same for the loss of
livestock.

CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES
Canadian children may well stand
in round -eyed wonder at the display
of Christmas toys this year. Accord-
ing to the supply division of the War-
time Prices and Trade Board the sup-
ply picture of toys this Christmas
time seems a bright one. True, many
of them are made of wood including
everything from rocking horses to

wooden• bulldozers, that operate by a
simple twist, of the wrist. Makers of
stuffed animals have produced many
sizes and kinds. There are pamba
bears, dogs, cats and many animals'
which would be difficult to name. Of
course there are some metal toys,
too. more than there have been for
some time. The selection includes
trains, automobiles and' many other
mechanical toys. From a nation
which a few years ago imported al-
most all of her toys. Canada in two
years has become fairly self-suffici-
ent in providing toys for her three
million children.
Christmas decorations will be avail-
able this Christmas. There are plen-"
ty of plain red and green candles,
and many kinds of Christmas holders
for them. There are glass balls,
Christmas crackers, and other types
of Christmas tree decorations to be
had. Christmas cards are no longer
restricted as to sizes and subjects,
.but are still under the maximum
prices of 25 cents except in cases
where an extra charge is allowed for
printing the names and addresses on
the "personal" type of card. Ribbons
and seals for gay Christmas parcels
will be quite plentiful, and although
fancy papers will be rather scarce,
greens. reds, and whites will be in
plentiful supply.
In checking what was available in
foods for Christmas the'regional foods
office of the Prices Board said that
such delicacies as raisins, some nuts
including -filberts, walnuts, almonds
and peanuts„ would be in the store*
for Christmas. There are some cran-
berries and a plentiful supply of ,cit-
rus fruits. Turkeys are expected to
be in as good supply as last year,
with the prices the same. Other fowl
is ,Iso expected to be plentiful.
