The girls also added to this picture (shall we say put the fem- ine touch to it?) with navy skirts, spotless white ,'blouses and the old favorite, the former wedge khaki cap. The 'Cadets marched past the platform several times and' then WANT SOMETHING GOOD?

Carson, e,ccompanied 'by Cadet Maj,p But Ziegler. The cu2'ton}ary procedure was carried out and this was, fol- lowed by a- display of the Bugle Band. Different demonstrations of cadet training were shown under the leadership of the cadet officers. One of interest was the Breul gun, which' was laid out piece .by piece and reassembled' — we hope — in working order. Besides this were groups in which snap reading, sig- nalling and grenades were discuss- ed. The precision squad demonstra- tion was a new experience for the boys, and it has replaced the old method of exercises. The girls' rhythm display de- serves extra special praise—every- one in step or at least in time with the music. Yes, all are to be con- gratulated for making the afternoon a success. The best girl and boy Cadet offi- cers were. Marion Laudenbach, Bud Zeigler; best girl and boy Cadets were Sheila, McFadden and C.S.M. Gond. Rowland. The number of spectators was rather surprising and pleasing. We like to see that school activities are enjoyed by the townfolks as well! The rain, funny as. it seems, drew a big crowd to the Cadet dance Wednesday evening. The turnout was amazing; the gym was packed and everyone was enjoying himself immensely—if one can judge by looks. Since the occasion was somewhat a special one, the Wil - bee orchestra was hired and' the music was quite good indeed. Square dances were in great de- mand and the floor swayed with such rapid movement. There was one novelty dance, a spot dance; the 'winners, Elaine Dale and Gord. Pullman, carried off the prizes. Now it's time to "buckle down" and get busy studying those final— and we mean final. Exams are Pushing upon us! It won't be long now. Sorry, folks, no question this week. ST.

Instead of oiling, Dr. 'McMaster suggested gravel and salt. Even with the purchase of a. truck for about $2,000, this procedure would be cheaper, said the Mayor. Counr cillor Daly said that it takes four to five years to get salt out of oil, and that salt will draw moisture. With a salt mixture it would take longer for the roads to dry in the spring.
