TIMELY TIPS If you had your soil tested this winter are you going to follow the fertilizer recommendations? You might Iose money if you don't, says Tom Lane, O.A.C. soils specialist. Last year, farmers who fertilized oats according to a soil test got a return of $1.45 for every $1.00 in- vested in fertilizer. Where farm- ers used double the soil test re- commendation, their return from each dollar invested was only $1.00; they just got their invest- ment back. Farmers who used rates different from the soil test recommendation got only 90 cents back; the increased yields weren't high enough to return the dollar invested in fertilizer.

GESTETNER (Canada) LTD. in LONDON at 465 Richmond Street GE 2-6368 '38 School Building Program First Change in 50 Years During recent years the building housing the Seaforth District High School has undergone several changes. Increasing demands for accommodation and new approach- es to education have accustomed the public to continuing changes in requirements. But twenty-five years ago this was not the case. For the preced- ing nearly 50 years the school building had served the commun- ity without alteration. In 1936, in- troduction of household economics and manual training led to a de- mand for more space, and con- struction got under way in 1938. The Seaforth Collegiate Institute Alumni Year Book for 1938 tells the story under this heading: "The S.C.I, Expands ; New Addition, Providing Auditorium, Gymnasium and Two Classrooms,ssrooms , is Completed." Visualized by students of the school for many years, a larger and more fully equipped S.C.I. has now become a reality with the completion this year of an addi- tion accommodating auditorium, gymnasium and classrooms. When late in 1936 new courses of study, including shop practice and household economics were an- nounced, the Board immediately took steps to arrange accommoda- tion. The appointment of William G. Murray, London architect, was made early the next year, and fol- lowing some delay in obtaining approval from the Department of Education, the contract for the addition was awarded to Mr. H. Edge, of Seaforth, Work com- menced early in July of this year, and the addition will be ready for occupancy in January 1939. . Care was taken in designing and planning the addition that it con- form closely to the 60 -year-old par- ent building. In this the architect had been particularly successful. Of white brick, the new wing extends 39 feet to the .north of the old school. projecting to the Royal Black Knights Iistall New Officers The Royal Black Knights of Huron County held their annual meeting -in Blyth LOL Hall recent- ly with a good attendance from all Preceptories within the County Chapter.

The property was purchased from Earl Yungblut, the present owner. According to Reeve V. L. Becker, the front part of the building will be made into a clerk's office and also accommodation will be allowed for council chambers. The back part of the building, which is now living quarters, will be left as it is. Previously the council had made plans for the erection of a new building on the Blind Line, east of Zurich, beside their truck and telephone shed. When they began investigating the cost of a new building, they came up with the fact that it would be much cheaper to buy a building and remodel it.—Zurich Citizens News.

Hensall Parks Board, meeting last week, deferred final decision on renting of the auditorium or curlers' lounge to groups or indi- viduals who plan to have liquor on the premises, under permit. Mem- bers present at the meeting de- cided that a full board should be present before a final policy was sit. Two members were absent from the meeting.
