It'seenfs that luring the last el ea of the day the Fifth Form studs is on'ie1t something that certainly ha a, powerful smell. We wondered, at drat, what it was, and then "Sherry" spotted the little, or .should I sag 'big, article of "Twinkletoes.",. He picked it up and passed it to •"Spike," who passed it to "Red Shoes,;' and she hurried'ly jumped to the window and put it out on the window -sill in the • blustering snow, so that it would cool off. "Twinkletpes" objected heartily ' and when the four o'clock bell rang, no one moved from their seats, part- ly because they were laughing so hard, and partly because they want- ed to see what would happen next. But, finally "Jo" took pity on her, opened the window and reached- for the big article and threw it back to "Twinkletoes," who received it just like a baby clamoring for a new toy.

Playing with or in water is liaual ly associated with the summertime, but 1 suppose it can happen inhe wintertime too, even "in school,, in the chemistry room. - Fourth Form 'were having their game of water -tag one period last week and if anyone miss- ed -out on getting wet it wasn't hie fault. If they didn't put their hand into a pocketful of water, they sat in some, and if they didn't sit in some they w 1u' squirted in the face with it. Some fun! I wisli I had been in on it, but I hope the "Judge" and "Pelton" didn't catch cold from. their episode, at least not until after Fri- day night. 3 3 Glee Glitters • Getting nervous, , kids? Well, I don't blame you! The surest way to get over our nervousness though, is to know our parts well, and I'm sure everyone does. Remember the show must go on (don't ask me why, either), no matter what, and it's go- ing to be a booming success! How could it help but be, with such fine .supporters behinds us? Good luck, kids; be seeing you on stage Friday night.. * 3 3 This is an explanation why every- one has been walking around lost in deep reverie, for the first part of this week. Yes, if they had seen the show the night before, the next morn- ing they were still not actually out of the theatre; it was all they could think about, and what's more, all they could talk about. I guess that's why "Sherry" and his luscious blonde have been walking around in a si1i- lar dream lately. 3 ~F 3 Well! Well! Well! I didn't think anyone was so pleased the exams were coming on that she would run up and kiss the exam timetable. That's the way it seems to have hap- pened. Now if we want to look at the timetable, we have to look through •a layer 'of lipstick! Yes, sir —and exams start a week from Fri= day. If you haven't already started to study, you'd better start now, be- fore it's too late. "Let it snow! Let, it snow!" seems to be the expression everyone has been saying during the past week. When it first started to snow every- one whispered to each other: "Look! It's snowin! Oh boy!" Now I guess there's a lot to look forward to—skat- ing, skiing, etc., and oh, I mustn'•t forget the snowball fights. The boys really take great pleasure in trying almost to assassinate the girls with their hard -packed snowballs. There goes the stronger sex acting superior again! Yau boys know we can't throw them back as hard as you do; you're jest ,taking advantage of us! Speaking of dreams: I don't know what's getting into everybody. Some imaginations! "Lemon -squeezer" put his mental faculty to work when he imagined he saw a toast chicken on his desk before him, and sail licking his chops the whole Aerictd. You'd better watch yourself, young man; that kind of an imagination could '"•send you some place you wouldn't care to go!

There are those who aren't home yet, but maybe. could ,he house in time for Christmas—we want them home, don't we? „Wel, the same way as. always by.. buying War Savings Stamps and Certificates, will bripg. them home sooner, We know it will be a little hard around the Christmas season when there are so many gifts to be bought, but I'm sure if we tried hard enough we could help out a lit- tle, and every little bit counts. 3 3 3 We always pamper crying children when they fall and hurt themselves, by telling them to look at the great big c ack they left where they fell. "Pelto " did the pampering to herself when s fell on the way upstairs to P.T. rom the girls' lockers. After cutting and bruising her leg, she turned to the cement floor 'and ts,1k- ed crossly to it. Silly girl! Control your temper! We all know that there is a big First Form and it is troublesome sometimes for enough desks, but we hadn't even suspected that was the case in Fourth Form one day when one of the teachers turned around to see that all blonde Fourth Former seated, legs outstretched, on the floor. It seems that someone pulled that blonde Fourth Former's leg, and he fell flat on the floor. Poor boy! I'll bet that's the last time you'll. let somebody pull your leg! 3 3 3 Say, how are those Commencement tickets coming along? Do you kids really think you've done your best in selling them? No, I should say not. You could all sell more than you have if you tried harder. Come on, now; this is your chance to do some- thing big. Tell the people about our guest speaker, E. J. Davies, inspector of Vocational Schools of Ontario; our operetta, and the presentation of awards. You want to -show the peo- ple how proud you are of your school and the work you do, don't you? Well, O.K. then, sell those tickets and get the people to come. Question of the Weex., Who put what in "Hoeg's" shoe:? Song of the Week: "Embraceable You." That's the song that seems to suit that cut dark First Former. Isn't it nice to have so many girls haunting you all the time, "Jacy?" BRUCEFIELD Mrs. A. Rohner Hohner and Douglas end in Exeter.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Johnston The community was shocked on learning .of the death of Mrs. George `Johnston, one of the most respected citizens, who passed away at her home Sunday morning. The funeral was held Tuesday from the United Church, of which she was a valued member. Rev.

Joseph Feeney and Mrs. Tom Morris, on the Silver Jubilee Convention • holdin Windsor in October. The delegates said many of the speakers stressed the need of the women in the home, and the"value of good Catholic litera- ture for our boys and girls. Rev. V. J. Guinan, of Assumption College, said in part: "Women must not model their lives after Eve, . who failed, but after Mary, the model mother. I believe that there are no delinquent boys and girls; rather there are delinquent parents. There are some exceptions, of course, but most women, now in industry, should be back in their own homes, doing their jobs as wives and mothers," Another speaker, Rev. G. E. Blondie, said: "You should teach obedience in the home, and the proper respect for authority, with enough independ- ence to enable your children to stand on their own feet." Mrs. J. McIver and Mrs. V. Lane moved and second- ed a vote of thanks to the two dele- gates for their splendid reports. The meeting closed with prayer for the armed forces. LOGAN Logan Farm Forums again report having a large, attendance on Mon- day evening with several reporting an increase over the previous week, so that over 200 took part in the dis- cussions of the very interesting top- ics as outlined in the Farm Forum Guide. A now Forum was started east of Bornholm when 23 of the neighbgers gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tully. Arthur Drummond was appointed secretary of this unit with Thomas Tully to act next week as he will be attending the Junior Farmers' convention in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. McLagan assisted this group with their organizing on Mon- day evening. If we would all adopt the Forum slogan, "Every Forum Starts a For- um," we would be well on our way to establish a record. At one of the Forums a ,very good answer was given on the question. "How to improve the soil?" it was "Keep the barnyard cleaned out." It surely would be fine if all ,the secre- taries would send in the; highlights • of the discussion in their forums as the editor of this paper has suggest- ed. Logan will have twelve Forum meetings next week. ' They will be held at the following homes: Dan Eickmeier, Richard Rose, Mervyn Linton, Douglas Leary, 'Henry Tully, Henry Rose, Norman Bennewies, Roy Gummow, Alvin Davey, Fred Her- bert, M. M. Hagerty and Mrs. Stan- ley Campbell. • BAYFIELD Mrs. Mullen and Miss Ann Drouin, of Detroit, spent the week -end in, the village. Mr. Harry Baker, of London. spent last week with his parents.

A home -welcome and presentation was made on Friday evening last by the finance committee of the Red Cross to the forty-four young men and young ladies who signed up for war service, many having been over-' seas. Rev. Mr, Stotesberry, of the United Church, was chairman, and a short program of community singing was held, also solos by Miss Lucy Woods and Mrs. Brown Higgins, which were well received. The ad- dress was read by the president, Mrs. James Ferguson. while Mrs. Mabel Prentice and Mrs. Pearl Westlake made the presentation of billfolds, containing a five -dollar bill, to all who were present. John Howard, on behalf of the villa.ge, read an ad- dress and presented those of the vil- lage with a gold ring. Dr. Thompson, of Clinton, gave a short talk on., "Re- habilitation," which was well receiv- ed. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, with %•upper. Mr. John McLeod went to Port Dover last week to work my the fish- ing industry. Mr. George Stephenson moved last week from the village to the home of Mr. Thomas Reid, Goshen Line, in Stanley. Mrs. June Pepper and daughter, of North Bay, spent last week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. W.

J.,I)eachman) A few days ago at •the O.A.C., Guelph, I spoke to the second year class in economics. •Time brings strange changes. I graduated from the O.A.C. in 1905. These boys will graduate in 1948. Forty years from that date they too may look back from my vantage point. It will then be close to the end of another cen- tury. Will the view be clearer, the prospects brighter, or will they again be living in the shadow of war? His- tory alone can tell and history is al- ways ,written by the survivors. All we can do is, wish them well and give them all the help we can while we linger'along the way. What are 'these boys thinking about? Few, I imagine, have follow- ed the somewhat common cult that man will soon abolish toil, that the state will do everything, feed the cattle, milk the cows, take care of the milk, market it and guarantee prices far beyond the dreams of avar- ice. In agriculture, there'is a close re- lationship between effort and result. The cowa must be milked before the milk is sold. The young men and women entering upon careers in ag- riculture have their feet on the ground. The position of the farmer will not be improved by shortening hours. If the farmer worked thirty hours a week the price of the pro- ducts produced would rise, to the point at which demand would be re- duced—the change would mean de- pression, not prosperity. The world needs more efficient production—not higher prices. So farm boys, in studying econ- omics at the O.A.C. are cold, calm realists. The things they want to discuss in regard to the,. future bear directly upon costs of production, markets, more efficient ways of do- ing things. Here are some of the questions they brought forward for discussion: (1) What will be the major chang- es in farm machinery in the next few years? - (2) What about markets? (3) When may we expect world conditions to settle down? (4) How can we achieve more ef- ficient use of farm lands? - (5) What• of labor relations in th future? Their Merest in farm machinery is not surprising. The "changes of a century have been great. Industry seeks markets for its products- Agri- qulture contributes the first essential of industrial progress—an effective demand. During the latter half of the nine- teenth century labor 011 this contin- ent was scarbe, new farming areas were openidg up. Machines had to be provided to cultivate -an expanding area of farm lands. Capital, seeking a market for its products, provided new instruments of production. So we had a long program of changes— from the cradle to the reaper, from the reaper to the binder, from the binder to the combine ---changes,, are still taking place. We may expect new machines. new methods. In a competitive economy we scrap the old, introduce the new, no man, no group can afford to stand still. If we cease to go forward, we begin to go back. Now another factor has entered in- to the situation. There is a tendency towards larger farms. Modern ma- chinery makes this possible. The old 100 -acre farm is out -moiled; it will give way to the larger farm of two and three hundred acres end more. This does not mean that the small farm will disappear. There will al- ways be room for the man who un- derstands intensive cultivation. In- dustry will be more helpful to the man with five acres and the man with 500. Then Hydro power will be ex- tended over wider and wider rural areas and this will bring new lines of equipment for the farm and for the farm home. Refrigerators of dif- ferent types, larger, capable of stor- ing substantial •quantitiese of farm products are on the way. The farms of the future, thirty or forty years hence, will be far ahead of the farms of today in the things which add to the a.rnenities of life. The big problem before agriculture is markets and this is tied up with the present unsettled condition of the world. This is a condition which normally follows war. In the recent war the,destruetion has been greater all the wars of the past 200 National passions have been they will pass slowly. Nev- dern history bas the world kingry as it is today.

These things hamper recovery. On the other hand, if wars can be avoided recovery way be quite rapid. There are, however, obvious restric- tions. Men are unwilling to go back to their old jobs. They search for easier tasks ---more pay. 'There is �: v _ , P f 3' J ,�' ,T • X i A r g r a n (Pir ,% r i ,v i ..A° i rT tga ,Fr. 1 r less self reliance—a greater tendency to lean than there was in the days of our fathers. There is plenty of employment but this does not mean that the average man is likely to find, at once. the type of task he desires. This may hamper temporarily the prospects of recovery. We fight against progress. Science tends to reduce the amount of work necessary to accomplish a purpose. In other words it should be easier for a, man to secure a motor. -car now than it has been at any other period of ,the past, but the price of cars is likely to go higher. With modern equipment we ought to be able to build homes with less effort, that is. fess cost, than ever before, but the price of homes has risen so that peo- ple begin to doubt their ability to own one. There is a reason. For~ six years the minds of our citizens have been concentrated on war. Think of the marvels" which have been accom- plished to bring us victory. Doubt not that greater miracles in peace- time problems_ will yet be wrought. In these, agriculture will have a share —there, is the hope of life. Agriculture in Canada has fought.a. hard fight—much remains to be done. The terrain' is now more favorable for victory. Agriculture is receiving more consideration. There is a grow- ing consciousness of the fact that ag-' riculture soundly based is, in a coun- ry like Canada, the foundation of na- tional progress. Our •agricultural colleges have had a .share in estab- lihing this point of view. All honor to 'Chem. Soon the class of `48 at the O.A.C. will occupy the front line—the boys of other years will pass to the re- serves. There will be plenty of work to do. Work, hard work, is the basis of a happy life. Courage will be need- ed. Back in 1922, J, M. Barrie, that brilliant and whimsical Scot, deliv- ered an address at "St. Andrews"—it was entitled "Courage." It was print- ed rinted in book form. Pick up a copy if you can find one. Slip it in your pocket. Read it when the going gets% tough. It will give you courage,. • fresh courage for the tasks of tomor- row.
