Announcement was made this week of the award of a University of Western Ontario Scholarship to Miss Jean Mills, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Mills, McKillop Township. The scholarship is one of two awarded to Huron County pupils. An ' outstanding student, Miss Mills was successful in obtaining first-class honors in ten subjects at the recent Upper School ex- ams. This record was attained despite the fact she resides eleven miles from the school and travels by bus. On a number of occa- sions she found it necessary to walk nearly two miles to the high- way to meet the bus when side - roads closed, Despite this, she missed but one day from school during the past year. Two weeks ago it was announc- ed that'Miss Mills had been award- ed the S.C.I.. Alunini Memorial Scb,elarship for 1948. • Remember Former Brodhagen Teacher Joseph Laudenbach, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Laudenbach, has received' word that he ..has been accepted as a candidate for Can- ada's Joint Services Cadet College, H.M.C.S.

According to County Engineer T. R. Patterson, decision to "remove the logs resulted from difficulty in properly maintaining the road at that point. It was found the pres- ence of the logs beneath the penile. anent road surface tended to.ag- gravate frost conditions, which in turn resulted in heaving. This raised a costly maintenance prob lam every spring. Moving pictures of activities at Seaforth Public Library were tak- en Thursday evening by a crew engaged. in preparing a film of On- tario Libraries.

May be we can't find any•humorous situations worth writing about. We might mention about the Seaforth bowler who split the seat out of bis trousers at a mixed tournament. Not at all embarrassed by the predicament, he very calmly took it in his stride and nonchalantly remarked: "It doesn't bother me, and it up- sets' my opponents!" Last Thursday evening twelve bowlers were in Goderich for a mixed' tourney, but failed to carry off any prizes. Those competing were Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Close, Mr. and Mr'4'. H. O. Free, M. A.

Faced with transporting at least 122 students to High School when the fall term opens Tuesday, Sear forth High School District Board, meeting in the Town Hail Monday evening, approved the placing of a fourth bus in service. The board• confirmed the arrangement with bus contractor, Scott Habkirk. Last year -a total of 98 pupils were transported with three bus- es. However, a preliminary survey of potential • students throughout the area indicated that this figure would be substantially increased, and a final pre-school visit around the proposed' routes this week led the board to the conclusion that a fourth bus would be necessary. One of the factors' contributing to the increase is the regulation of the Department which provides that students resident in a school area must attend. the school in that area, unless permission in writing has been obtained from the board. This resulted in an increase in» Hibbert and South Tuckersmith. Provisional routes of the four busses are contained in 'nu adver- tisement of the School Board on Page 3 of this issue. Operation of the busses during the first few days of school may indicate a change in routes which would' bet- ter serve th'e students, and should this be the case,' such changes as may be madie will be advised the students concerned. by J.
