MAY RE-OPEN SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER 3rd No definite action has been taken by the Exeter Board of Education with reference to the re-opening of the public and high school on the third of September but as there has been little demand for “Soldiers of the Soil" in this community and as most of the schools in the neighbor­ ing municipalities are opening as usual it seems to be the opinion of the Exeter Board that the Exeter schools will not remain closed until the 15th. MANY ACCIDENTS DURING PAST WEEK John Pym, young son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

The rain cleared for the meeting but shortly after the close rain again fell quite heavily. It was the third patriotic union sponsored by the County Council to be held in the County. A procession formed at the south end of Main Street headed by the Clinton Pipers Band, the Exeter band, the new recruits of the First Hussars, and also of the Huron Middlesex Battalion, together with the members of the Canadian Le­ gion and paraded to the Arena. Ow­ ing to the rain the Dashwood band arrived late. Two of Tuckey’s Transport trucks formed an impro­ vised platform. Warden Feagan was chairman and stated tilt further rallys are to be held at Seaforth and Goderich, the latter at opening of the new airport, stated that we have a work to per­ form in helping to win the war and that it gave the heart an extra beat to see so many young men united with the forces. Reeve B. XV. Tuckey spoke a few words of wel­ come. Rev. M. A, Hunt, of Trivitt Mem­ orial Church, gave a short address and outlined the work that is being accomplished by the XVar Time Committee. He said that patriotism is one of the greatest words in our English language, soul-stirring and uplifting. We are proud today that we belong to one of the greatest Empires the world has ever known. It has been the lot of the British to stand for right and justice, and we should be thankful to the Al­ mighty for the success that has been meted out to o'ur armies during the past weeks. At times like these every man should rise to his great­ est effort and show to the world that we are united and determined to fight and to preserve the heri­ tage that is ours. Rev. E. D. Burton, of Clinton, a chaplain in the last Great XVar, gave a stirring address, emphasizing two words he had learned in the last war, “Oriented and Consecrated.’’ First that we should know where we are going and keep our minds on the one objective—that of winding the war. He emphasized the impor­ tance of registration that we might know about the people residing in our land; what we can do in the line of service and to find out those who are enemies in our country. The front line is in Great Britain today and behind them are the men and women to back them up with everything that is necessary. The enemy has had a long preparation for destruction and Britain must hold the line until the Empire'is fully organized and equipped to take the offensive. He congratulat­ ed the boys who have joined the forces and stated that the greatest equipment for war is to keep the mind and heart clean. Major Harry S. C. Cocks, Dis­ trict Chaplain of Military District No. 1, expressed his surprise at see­ ing so many present in spite of the rain, anti congratulated the commit­ tee on its success. He stated that great preparations are being made that fort The same spirit that predominates the English today is prevalent in Canada. In spite of the great sac­ rifices being made by the young men of our land people are selfish and grumble when it effects themselves, their land or their pockets. We are fighting for holy things and against a man that hates Christianity. Canada on the Marell The next speaker was Rev. Nor­ man Rawson, of Centenary United Church, Hamilton, who in a humor­ ous and stirring address kept his audience first in laughter and next in contemplation of the difficult task that lies ahead of us. He compli­ mented Exeter on having such a fine, good-looking Reeve and paid tribute to the speakers before him. He was never more proud to be Bri­ tish than he has been since Dunkirk and the hlitzkroig of the past wook on England. Ho, spoke of being a speaker at a gathering in the Unit­ ed States and in a graphic, manner described three tableaus; one of Mussolini whose accomplishments were a blank; another of Hitler, with a Nasd seated on a pile ot skulls; and the third with the flags of England and the United States (Continued on Page Four) UPPER SCHOOL RESULTS The following are the Upper School results for the High School, Those marked with an asterisk (*) passed all papers tried.
