Team 1, now twice a loser, lost a third time, ,even r after a spectacular attempt in the last quarter. This untimely rally, however, put -the winning team on their toes, .as threating rush after threatening rush was led into Team 5's one by Franklyn Bry- ans. To the relief of winning Team 5, time still "ticked on" and the menace of • increasing points was thrust behind them as someone shout "60 seconds left!" Thus with one last attempted rush, Team 1 was defeated 39-19 by Team 5. The 39-19 win for Team 5 was their first victory. This may prove to be a turning point for them. The scoring for Team 5 was led by Howard James, at 24 points. - The volleyball` season is rapidly drawing to a close for the junior boys. The volleyball series has been. very close, with no specific teams taking the lead, but the next few games will "tell the tale." Also in the "house league" classi- fication of volleyball the competi- tion has been keen in both the jun- ior and senior divisions. Their games are, played regularly on Mondays and Thursdays and on al- ternate Wednesdays. The sche- dule will soonbe exhausted and playoffs will be started to deter- mine who has the best team. Practices h;4ve begun for all phases" of inter -collegiate basket- ball and are running smoothly, with the expert coaching of Mrs. Skelton, Mr. Medigas and Mr. Dobson. Each team will be—re- gretably—losing members as a re- sult of the Christmas exams, but it's to be hoped that basketball competitors are more successful than was the rugby team. Dismissal At 3:30! Students present at last week's assembly refused to believe their ears when Mr. Plumsteel quietly said school would' be officially dis- missed at 3:30 for the remainder of the term. He went on to ex- plain that facilities being what they are, there were too few rooms not in use to allow any extra curricular activities, and by dismissing' school at 3:30 and hold- ing the extra activities from 3:30 to 4, there would be more rooms open to use: He inentioned that Cadet activities would be carried on' as. usual. Two of the extra cur- ricular activities named were: a drama club and a dancing class. Mr. Plumsteel emphasized also that' those students leaving the school must be out by 3:35, or else . and students remain- ing must either be in a "study room", at Cadet class, or in some activity and NOT in the halls. Kinsmen Plan Broom Drive Here Seaforth Kinsmen plan a broom drive in Seaforth on Friday and Saturday evenings.

In the list of those who donated prizes in connection with the Kins- men Charter Night program, the names of Crich's Restaurant, Shin - en's Dry Goods and Sunoco Service Station were omitted from the list prepared by the committee. In commenting on the generosity of Seaforth merchants, the commit- tee expressed regret at the omis- sion.

Although the Sunday parade question was not publicly declar- ed an issue in Monday's election at Grand Bend, ratepayers at the resort left no% doubt about how they felt' on the matter. Voters ousted two strong opponents of Sunday processions and elected men who have supported weekend attractions for summer crowds. Reeve J. H. Dalton, facing his second test at the polls in five 'years, defeated Councillor Norman Turnbull, who served two years and ledcouncil in banning par- ades this summer, was making his first bid for the chief magistrate's chair. Both members of this year's council who were' returned —Reeve Dalton and Councillor Cochrane—voted against banning civic processions on the Sabbath. The issue arose this summer when the promotion commtttee propos- ed a parade of convertibles carry- ing contestants in the Miss Grand Bend beauty contest. Eric Mc- Ilroy, chairman of the promotion committee, which sponsored the contest, appealed to council to re- scind its ban but be was not suc- cessful. Mcllroy, owner of Lake- view Casino, was. elected president of the Chamber of Commerce Which was reorganized at the end of the summer. — Exeter Times - Advocate.

THE CHRISTMAS STORE FOR MEN THE WREATH HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS Most popular of Christmas decor - By J. CARL HEMINGWAY) Last Tuesday evening Huron County Federation of Agriculture arranged a • meeting of township representatives and the Commun- ity Programs Department of Edu- cation. Under the leadership of Miss Eleanor Syracuse, a panel of Rev. Bert Daynard, of Staffa, Rev. Doug Brydon of Ripley, Mrs. Boyce of Grey County, Mrs. William Arn- oold of Ripley, and Bob Secord of Hanover, supplied information on the different educational and so- cial activities available. The Community Programs Branch will supply extensive as- sistance in the organization and financing of Folk Schools, Night Schools, Community Workshops, Leadership Training or Recrea- tional Leadership courses. I have been wondering if a few of the townships might sponsor a community workshop on the his- tory and development of farm or- ganizations. It seems to me that farm or- ganizations are facing a testing period and knowledge of the past might help us to avoid the pitfalls of the future. Never before has there -been such concerted opposi- tion to farm organizations from those outside the industry. Stephen Township held their an- nual meeting and banquet Decem- ber 4, with about two hundred attending. Reports were given by the different groups, as well as from the county organizations. Doug Miles, the genial agricultur- al representative, expressed the appreciation of the Department fol. the support given to the 4-H pro- jects by the Federation. Elfner Bell, of Exeter, pointed out the legal problems facing farmers •and also the advanta es of estabiisl'iilhg a basic herd income tax purposes .iY..-.!,�y�,r�' �,�.li♦7.11V...L��F ations is the wreath.
