IT’S THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND This ferocious, strange looking creature aroused the curiosity of the Mexi­ can City police department when its Japanese owner ap­ peared before them to denounce “unknown parties” for steal­ ing the bird, The owner informed police that this was no ordinary rooster—but a horned rooster considered to be the only one of its kind in the world and valued at more than 22,000 pesos (approximately $2,500). Police soon dis­ covered that the valuable fowl had not been stolen but had jumped over a fence into the patio of neighbours. —C.P.C.

Although writing the ex­ ams is a serious business for the students, there’s the triple task for the teachers of setting and marking the papers and then entering the marks in the report cards. More dificult than ever is the tricky task for Junior and Jenny of explaining to Dad the prevalence of “P”s and the lack of “E”s on the report card. Don’t be too hard on them Dad — instead of applying the hair­ brush, try a generous portion of interest and real help in Junior’s “Poor” subject. If Easter does doesn’t show an improvement there’s something to be said for the hairbrush or possibly Dad needs a refresher course in coaching. There’s a lovely aroma from two bowls of paper white Nar­ cissus blooming in the Kinder­ garten at present, and the bulbs were money earned in Exeter Fair Day. The first day the blossoms opened the teacher passed the bowl to each child in turn to smell their fragrance. After a dozen or more children had a turn, one little lad called out, Mrs. Jermyn will, there be any smell left for me?” It’s one of the wonders of nature we grownups never think about. Splendid progress has been made these last few Weeks at the new Public School. On Mon­ day plastering was started and the heat was turned on—with no gas fumes. This past week i I The bowls bought with the parade has been much better at the old School however, and we hope the old furnace continues have until the new one over.
