He practised dentistry at La-Moure, N.D., and •Portland, Ore., and in Salem, Ore., retiring four years ago. He was the youngest of a family of thirteen, and his sister, Mrs. Mary Brown, Hensall, is the oldest living member. There are the only two members living of this family.

Hensall Whitewashes Lucan J. Sangster registered the first no -hit game on the Hensail diam- ond as the Hensall team defeated the strong Lucan Irish Nine team by the score of 4-0 Monday night. This was quite a grudge game as the Lucan team had their ace pit- cher, Bill Ball. on the mound, who was declared ineligible in the play- offs last year, after having defeat- ed Hensall .on the first two games of the playoffs. Hensall only se- cured three hits off Ball's offer- ings, but they bunched them all to- gether in the first inning to score three runs. The other run came in the third inning on a walk, stolen base and two wild pitches. Sum- mary: Hensall, 4 runs, 3 hits, 1 er- ror; Lucan, 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 er- rors. Batteries: Hensall, Sangster and Horton; Lucan, Ball and Elion. ST. COLUMBAN The monthly meeting of the C. W. L. was held with the president presiding.

Bolton, Secretary) The Students' .Council is an or- ganization of elected representaf tives of the student body which, leads the activities of the students. During the school year we receiv- ed a great deal of assistance and encouragement from the staff wibo with experience are able to guide the council through rough spots, Early in the fall term at Sea. forth District High Sohool, while the rugby team was going strong, the cheer leaders participated in a contest held in Radio Station CJCS, Stratford. The entry to the contest was made through the. Students' Council and we are glad. to report that the girls won for themselves some valuable prizes. Thus with a noisy beginning, President Ron Sills led the coun- cil through the targe amount of work which the students complet- ed during the year. We failed, however, to complete one very worthwhile project, mainly 'be- cause we did not receive 'co-opera- tion from all the towns concerned. A students' rate at the local theatre is something every stu- dent should be willing to work for. With an increased number of pupils coming to school by bus and staying at noon, it was decided that there should be more games in the .school. The students' coun- cil purchased two sets of table ten- nis equipment and several parlor games for the students to use. At Christmas, cards were sold to the pupils who wanted them. A small profit gained on these helped to meet the expense of the equip- ment purchased for the use of the students. • Early in the winter term plans were made for the big event of the year, our At -Home dance. The suc- cess of the dance depends mainly upon the efforts of the individual pupils under the careful direction epo :ih School. of the staff and the council, Although ..the At -Home dance is the main event of the achool year, we have many other parties at which we tried- to give the students good entetktainment at cost. To pro - Vide a variety we have different types of parties, This year we rented films and put on a show and dance with the school equip- ment on two different occasions. To ,add to the value of the show wel obtained one or two education- al films to show between the comedies. The second most import- ant student event was the skating party held at the new Memorial Community Centre on the artificial ice. After skating and a. broom +ball game, we moved to the school for lunch and a short dance. In the spring term the students went on the war path selling Readers' Digest subscriptions to raise money for the students' coun- cil. For every new seven-month subscription sold the school receiv- ed 50 cents- The money raised from this campaign was soon put to good use helping to purchase a new public address system for the school. We decided on a compact portable system with an adapter for power from a 6 -volt storage battery. With this arrangement it is possible to move away frgm any source of hydro hnd•'ise the P.A. system. A non -directional micro- phone for stage use was purchas- ed to go with the new set. Al- though it is a portable system, it has been modified as a built-in system in the auditorium. With the increased use made of such systems today, we believe every student should face a microphone and learn to use one properly. Al- though the original cost was high, it will be a valuable asset to the school and to the students seeking a practical education.

Greig) The eighth annual Field Day of Huron County Federation is now history. Once again we have been privileged to 'be host to the farm people and urban residents of Hur- on County in a day of sports and fellowship. Though the crowd was not as large as 'anticipated, it nev- ertheless made up for what it lack- ed in numbers by its willingness to enter into the spirit of the day. Dr. E. C. Hope gave a very time- ly talk on the margarine question and its wide -reaching effect on the dairy industry. The children and young people entered into the, sports events with a will to win, and they provided lively competi- tion in all track and 'field events, The softball games grew better as the day progressed, with the Clif- ford Imperial girls' team giving a classy performance to shut out the W.O.A.A. All -Stars by a score of 8 to 0. The Clinton Junior Farm- ers took home the new Federation trophy, as they defeated Belgrave Junior Farmers in the final game, to wind up the Junior Farmers' softball tournament. There was a good display of farm machinery and motor cars, as well as other farm equipment. This always attracts a lot of at- tention. The old-time fiddlere' con- test and square dance competition held the attention of the crowd for its entire performance. The grand climax of the day came with the running horse races by both boys and girls. They pro- vided thrilling races -in all four heats. The old-time dance at the Gode- rich Pavilion was well attended and provided •a suitable finale to a successful day. Huron County • Federation of Ag- riculture extends congratulations to Mr. W. V. Roy, our former sec- retary, who during a life insurance sales campaign in the month of May, sold more Co-operative Lite Insurance than any other Co-op ag- ent, in Canada. * s - The Dairy Farmers of Canada campaign to raise funds for adver- tising dairy products is progress- ing favorably.

If everyone had paid up without a kick we would think something was wrong. It has al- ways been a farmers' privilege to disagree with any commodity group if he so desires. That is democ- racy at its best. While on the subject of dairy products, we hear a lot about a non-dairy product being used by farmers who sell their cream to the creamery and take •home a conglomleration of vegetable oils to be used by their own family in place of butter. The cream produc- ers' •wbrganizati.on in Huron County is making a canvass of the entire farm area to try and get accurate figures on how many farm people are actually •using a substitute for butter. This is a general canvass and no personal record is being kept, so when the canvasser calls at your home, give him an accur- ate statement - SOFTBALL TUY BRO and his N.H.L. All - versus R.C.A.F.
