Holiday
Cleaning
Now . . .
Saturday afternoon found
about fifty students .in the Elm
wood Theatre, London, to wit
ness a superb performance of
“Hamlet”. The performance of
Sir Laurence Oliver, impressed
everyone. Scenery, too, was rea
listic and it was not uncommon
to see somebody shiver during
the awful visions of the ghost
of Hamlet’s father. The appari
tions took place on the top
high rampart and as the
and storm descended on
guards, it was a struggle to

Grade 13 had an. advantage
over most of us since it had
studied the play more intensely
in class. In spite of this,

ranged for our transportation on
Guenther buses and obtained our
seats in the theatre.*

Former Exeter Boy
Wins New Car
Winning of a new ear
contest brought two Exeter Old
Boys together
about the old home town.
Ralph M. Hawkins,
Drayton Ave., Toronto,
winner of a new 1949
in a contest sponsored by Miles
Laboratories Limited for telling
in fifty words or less “Why he
liked Alka-Seltzer.”
Frank Strange, now
Cockfield, Brown & Co.,
handled the advertising for the
contest, after taking a number
of pictures of the presentation,
asked Hawkins if he had always
lived in Toronto, to which Haw
kins replied: “No, I originally
came from a town that you
probably never heard of.—Exe
ter, about 3 0 miles north of
London.” Imagine the surprise
to learn that they
from the same place.
Mr. Hawkins was

of Exeter and is now

Giver and Gifts

every description prove

to bestow in regard to its value
or utility to the receiver.
Everybody

there are many
gifts at Yuletide,

giving is the prime considera
tion and the woman who buys
pretty things because they ap
peal to herself, and bestows
them upon all her friends
without any particular regard to
their needs or individual fan
cies makes a^ great mistake.
The charm of ornaments al
ways appeals to the shopper but
should consider whether the
folk for which she is buying
really wants ornaments, howev
er beautiful, whether they are
suitable for the house to which
she intends to 'Send them and
also whether some strictly util

worthwhile. /
