aS IT WORTHWHILE?
During the past few weeks the tea
chers of the public school must have
'had many a heart ache in their pre
paration for the annual school con
cent. The pupils also must have had
some trying moment in the many
Lours of drilling necessary for such a
performance. The teachers, after the
closing performance on Friday even
ing, no doubt breathed a sigh of re
lief, this big effort was over for an
other year. But they also must have
glowed with pride at the splendid way
the children carried out their various
parts thoughtout the entertainment.
The children, too, must have been
•very happy that the long .hours of
practice were past but they also must
have been very happy on account of
a job well done. This was amply de
monstrated by the hearty applause
they received for their efforts .and by
the comments one heard as they left
the hall. This branch of training at
the school during the past number of
years has developed to such a degree
that the performances staged by these
very young children would do credit
to folks many years their seniors.
Music and dramatics in the school are
worthwhile indeed. At least, athat is
the opinion we gather from the many
comments we have heard, and from
the performances we have been privi
leged to attend.

WE MUST WAKE UP
During the past week or so two
speeches by members of the Federal
Cabinet have impressed us very great
ly. .The first was the talk given by
Hon. Mr. Gardiner on the “Face The
Facts” broadcast. Mr. Gardiner had
recently returned from Britain and he
tipped off industry that they had a
very much bigger part to play in our
war effort than they have up to the

present, He also made it known that
it would be necessary to have trained
personnel to operate the various types’
of equipment that would and are be
ing maimfactured. His talk, in our
humble opinion, was one that said, “we
are going to get down to business.”
The other speech was in the House
of Commons, and was made by the
Finance Minister
One of the things
another war loan
next summer, but
standing news as that is what was ex
pected when so much is being spent
on war activities. The part of his
speech that was -important was his
statement that “excessive and dang
erous” optimism as to the outcome
of the war exists in Canada. “Instead
of being conscious every waking mo
ment, of the deadly peril of a power
ful enemy, many of us have a feeling
that the Battle of Britain is won, that
all is well,” This war was not won,
he declared. A far closer engagement
with the enemy would be necessary
before victory was achieved. Then he
said, “Not only must our fighting
force engage his, we must engage him
in our civilian activities —by the mak
ing of sacrifices,, the foregoing of
pleasures, the devotion of our sub
stance to the common cause,” he said.
“In these ways all of us engage the
enemy.” In other words we must be
prepared for the many sacrifices that
we must make before we win this war,

SNOW ROADS
Winter will soon be upon us and
the problem of whether roads should
be* plowed when the snow piles up
will again be a contentious question.
The master of snow ploughing is of
greatest interest in the northern coun
ties. Grey County Council in former
years has had a policy of not attempt
ing to keep roads open and are fol
lowing the same procedure this win
ter. They will, however, make an at
tempt to keep them open as long as
possible and try to clear them early
in the spring. Bruce has had for the
past few years kept county roads open
for traffic and will continue to do so
if necessary this season. They will,
not, however, 'take on any roads that
were not in the scheme last witner.
Huron,, we understand, will again
keep county roads open, as they have
equipment for same. Some were very-
pleased with' the results last year but
others complained bitterly. It is an
almost impossible task to have unity
of opinion on snow roads and, no
doubt, it will always be a debatable
question. However, it appears that
the opinion in favour of keeping roads
open has increased greatly this past
few years and less objection to -snow
plowing is noticed. Our observations-
convince us that there is- a great de--,
mand for snow fences and the town
ships in this vicinity are1 using' ai great
er amount of fence each year..

William Druckton, a middle-aged
farm worker of the Hepworth district,
was taken to, the Bruce County Hos

fractured right leg which he received
when kicked by a fractious horse.
Druckton, it appears, was engaged in
harnessing a 'team preparatory ter+
starting the day’s operations when one
of the animals launched a vicious kick
at him. The faim hand was struck
just above the knee by the flying hoof,
the bone being broken in the impact.
The injured man was taken to the
Walkerton institution, where an X-ray
examination revealed that he had sus
tained a very bad fracture, which was
reduced by the attending medicos. —
