j| HIGHLIGHTS
M > from theW HIGH SCHOOL
Noon Hour Activities .
Up until recently the students have
been able to have very little- recre
ation during the noon hour. In the
fall, some took part in the volley-ball
.games at noon, but since winter, all
the recreation there has been is danc
ing or playing cards at noon. While
the weatlief permitted, many students
enjoyed a walk’ down street at noon,
but since the weather is not so pleas
ant most students remain in the
school.
fA short while ago the students’
Council purchased four sheets of ply
wood to make two tennis tables. In
the shop some of the boys hinged two
sheets of plywood together for each
table, and painted them pale green
with white lines. Most students* and
teachers are becoming very interested
in table-tennis as a noon hour recrea
tion, The schedule for table-tennis is
posted on the bulletin board of the
recreation room. There is a tourna
ment beginning with one -table for
girls and one for boys.
East Thursday, because of the
stormy weather, the regular school
Classes were cancelled. Only a few
students were at school and most of
these students remained at school to
dance and play tennis. Table-tennis is
getting off to a good start and it is
hoped it will always be as successful
and as well-enjoyed.

Representative from R.C.A.F.
Visits W.D.H.S.
On Wednesday of the past week
the boys Of grades twelve and thir
teen had the privilege of hearing a
talk from a representative of the
R.C.A.F., who outlined to the students
a plan by which they could receive
a college education through enlist
ment in one of the armed forces.
The plan is briefly as follows. Ap
plicants to the plan are selected ac
cording to their marks on comple
tion of high school. If chosen a stud
ent fnay enter any one of the three
armed forces, and is given a four year
course at any * Canadian University
with all expenses paid, though during
the summer he must spend his time
at a camp of the army, navy, or air
force, depending on which service he
has entered. Jle is paid wages during
this time. While at college the student
is entirely independent of the armed
forces except for the money he regu
larly receives" for board and clothing.
A student may choose any course he
wishes through the. plan but technical
subjects are preferred. When the
student, completes his four year
course he must serve three years in
the armed service of his selection,
after which he is free to pursue the
trade or profession he studied for in
college.
A few of the students were impress
ed by the plan; however, as ■ our
principal has warned, success under
any method cannot be had without
work
32 calibre army rifles provided,
targets are marked for grouping
accurateness. When a hoy shoots
a certain number of times and
Dr. Schaus told of the varied and
interesting courses pf study offered
by WaterJoo College. As well as the
three-ycar General Arts course, there
are four-ycar Honour courses which
Include languages, sciences,, business
administration and secretarial science
courses. A pre-theology course is also
available for students wishing to enter
the ministry.
The secretarial science course was
especially stressed by Dr, Schaus as
being an excellent course of study
for girls who have completed either
Grade XII or Grade XIII. This is a
three-year commercial course which
includes typing, shorthand, and office
practice plus general subjects.
Dr. Schaus reminded us that fin-'
ancial problems at college aren’t so
bad after a student once gets started.
He stated that it only costs about
$800 each year to attend college and
summer jobs usually bring a worker
more than that , during the four
months a college student is out of
school each summer. Scholarships and
similar financial aids also help a stud
ent to pay his way through college.
By pointing put the advantages of a
college education, Dr. Schaus awaken
ed in many students a genuine desire
to better their present store of know
ledge,

Over 80 Diseases
Come from Animals ’
The Health League' of Canada, a
National Citizens’ Committee for tfli
World Health Organization, calls at
tention to a recently published WHO
monograph listing over 80 diseases
that can be transmitted to man by
animals. These diseases are called
zoonoses.
Most of these diseases are transmit
ted to man by livestock, such ft*
cows, oxen, horses and pigs# though
domestic pets such as dogs and cat*
are responsible for some diseases, th*
most serious being rabies.
The four best-known of these dis
eases, after rabies, are undulant fever
brucellosis) bovine tuberculosis,
leptospirosis and Q-fever, All four of
these diseases affect livestock. Bovine
tuberculosis and undulant fever can
be transmitted to the general non
farming public in raw milk or fresh
cheese; hence their spread can be
checked generally by pasteurization of
milk. However, stockmen and slaugh
terers who work in contact with these
animals cannot be protected by pas
teurization as contamination may also
be brought about through the respira
tory tract. In some countries bovine
tuberculosis is responsible for as much
as 10 per cent of human tuberclusosis.
Efforts at eradication of the disease
include continuous checks of herds
and destruction of infected animals.
Undulant fever, which is usually not
fatal, calls for long invalidation and
unpleasant treatment, Great strides in
treatment have been made since dis
covery of antibiotics.
INSURANCE
After having talked with a number
Of people who suffered property dam- ,
age by the recent wind and sleet
storm that swept this country, I am
of the opinion that the majority of
folks, rural and urban, just DO NOT
know where they stand with regards
to insurance coverage. , , If you were
to be asked "What coverage have
you on your buildings, and ypur
belongings, in case of fire, wind, or
other such event?" what would you
answer? The Chances are you wouldn’t
be able to answer, off hand, and the
chances are you haven’t the foggiest
notion where you stand with the
insurance company. It is amazing the
number of people who just don’t know
what coverage they have. Some are of
the opinion that they have complete
coverage against the damage of fire
and wind, but then awaken some
morning to find that their roof has
been lifted by a mischievous wind.
When they call their insurance man,
they find that he is very sorry, but
that was not the kind of policy chat
the farmer, or the urban person took
out in the first place,
Speaking from personal experience,
and I might add that I found myself m
the same boat as anyone else, it is
time for every householder and pro
perty owner to take stock of their
insurance coverage. Many of the old
policies have been out-dated and out
moded. Many have been unchanged
since hydro has been installed, or im
provements have been made. Some of
the coverage is estimated on depress
ion day values, and would’nt begin to
cover the loss today. I am not at
tempting to sell insurance, but I am
appealing to every property owner,
tenant or householder to dig into the
bureau drawer and pull out that
musty old fire or wind insurance pol
icy. If you can’t fathom the legal
terminology, call up your district rep
resentative and have him drop around
and review the insurance for you.
Make sure that your buildings and
your household goods are adequately
covered in the event of any . emergen
cy. In most cases these are the ac
cumulation of a life’s work. While the
sentimental value can never be restor
ed, still they can be replaced if you
have proper insurance. Time spent re
viewing these policies will be time .veil
invested.

Farm Forum Meets
The Farm Forum was held on Mon
day evening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Alva McDowell with 21 present,
The topic for discussion was “Safety
on the Farm." The tractor is the great
est cause of accidents on the farm
because it is the most used machine
on the farm. It was decided farmers
Should not be too confident of’ their
ability to drive a tractor but should
read and observe the rules of safety,
especially those in the tractor manual
and those printed on the tractor. They
should use more common sense and
not drive in road gear when they
should be in land gear. Also tractors
should be shut down when filling with
gas or making adjustments on tractor
| or any machine attached to it. ,
It was suggested that a first aid
course might be- ‘beneficial to our
community also an electrician might
be asked to give "a talk on the care
of electricial equipment and the study
of electrical installations as a project
to prevent accidents and improve
farm safety. It was also suggested
that fire extinguishers be kept handy,
that steps be kept in repair, and stove 1 pipes and chimneys be kept clean, etc.
i The meeting next Monday night
i will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs,
■ Jack Buchanan. The social activities
. were in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
l gar Howatt. Lunch was served.

. The same goes for life insurance,
and automotive insurance as well as
public liability and property damage
coverage. These days the $1000 life in
surance policy and( the old type auto
motive insurance . are inadequate. It
costs more to live, more to support
your dependants. Every day we see
new, larger civil actions and without
proper insurance protection a motor
ist is taking an awful chance. So, be
fore it’s too late, before you are tried
and found wanting, take a look at
your insurance policies and see if they
are what you had hoped and expected
them to' be.

Newspaper Ads Sell
Real Estate, Realtors
Told at Convention
A “brains trust" of realtors credited
newspaper advertising with selling up
to 280 per cent of residential real
estate.
The question "what percentage of-
sales can be attributed to advertis
ing?” was put during a panel discus
sion on residential sales at the Ont
ario Association of Real Estate
Boards’ annual conference which
opened in London recently,
London Realtor Bert Weir reckoned
newspaper ads accounted for*at least
80 per cent of his firm’s sales.
J. A. Muir, of Toronto, estimated
that between 60 and 65 per cent of their
sales came from newspaper ads. Ho
placed great importance on signs
which worked “24 hours a day, seven
days a week.”
B. E. Willoughby, of Toronto, gave
a similar estimate to that of Mr. Muir.
Canada produces 4,200,000,000 add
ing machine and cash register rolls
each year.* * *

Everyone has a vital interest
in science’s efforts to help us
live longer. But life insurance
policyholders have a special
stake in this work.
You see, certain important
medical research projects are
supported wholly or in part
by funds from all the life
insurance companies in
Canada with their millions of
policyholders. As a result,
skilled scientists in many
Canadian medical research
centres can carry on their task
of attacking some of man
kind’s deadliest enemies. Their
names: cancer, heart ailments,
tuberculosis and poliomyelitis.
Other vital studies are sup
ported in a similar way. These
focus on processes of ageing,
cellular growth, dental
hygiene, pregnancy complica
tions, thyroid hormones,
blood clotting and asthma, to
mention but a few.
Will all these efforts help
you and your family to live
longer, healthier lives ?
Yes I Thanks chiefly to the
advance of modern medicine,
babies born today can expect
to -live about 20 years longer
than those of 50 years ago.
Many dread diseases have
been banished or controlled.
Ahead lies further progress
that will surely benefit you
and yours.
And, if you are a life insur
ance policyholder, you also
have the satisfaction of know
ing you have participated in
this program designed to bring
the blessings of good health
to all!
