LAID NEW RAILS
A huge C,N.R. work crew was cen-
tred at Lucknow over the week-end
while laying heavier steel rails along
sections of this branch line in the
Lucknow, Whitechurch and Brussels
area.
The crew was comprised of 140
men, with 46 ears of various descrip-
tions making up the train. While the.
gang was centred here, there were
also men and cars at Kincardine and
Whitechurch, At the local depot the
sidings were crowded with sections .
of the train that included a power
crane and eating and sleeping ac-
commodation for the crew. The train
has its own refrigeration units, kit-
chens and cooks and is well equipped
to handle such a gang, who devour
enormous quantities of food at each
meal.--Lucknow Sentinel.

Mechanize with M ssey-Harris Machines
Manpower is not too plentiful—in fact good, experienced farm
help is downright scarce even at the present high wage rates.
Industry needs manpower for armament production and making
of civilian goods and the armed forces are recruiting to bring
their units up to strength in the new program.
Yet food production must be maintained in these busy and critical
times in spite of the shortage and high cost of farm help.
Mechanization is helping more and more farmers to get work
done when it should be done—farmers are proving easy-operat-
ing, fast-working machinery to be their most dependable help.
From the complete line of Massey-Harris equipment you can
select machines that will help you master the help problem.

Well the warm weather is finally
here and to the students of W.D.H.S,
as to most everybody, it means a
hearing down to keep one's mind on
his work when there are many attrac-
tions around such as swimming, base-
ball, fishing and many other hot
weather activities.
In the midst of a Latin sentence
one's mind may drift off to the
thoughts of the cool inviting rivers,
or a geometry problem may become
a baseball field on a sunny afternoon.
However, these pleasant illusions soon
become grim reality once more and
gradually the student regains himself
and returns to the task of translating
the sentence or solving the problem.
But whatever the weather, we must
stick together ie, the students and the
books (Wonder how that lie got in
here,)
With the approach of summer
many students will consider what they
will do during vacation time. Many
will work on farms, and in stores and
various other occupations while some
will attend Government camps such
as those at Lake Couchiching and
Bark Lake where they will learn
much concerning sports or counsel-
lors' training which will aid them and
their schools, The former camp at
Couchiching train boys and girls from
schools in Ontario in the finer points
and fundamentals of rugby, track and
field, softball, archery, .tennis, volley
ball and basket ball as well as leader-
ship training. The camp at Bark Lake
teaches much in woodcraft, canoeing
and all essential to a camp counsellor.
This and many other camps offer a
great summer for students in Ontario
High Schools.
GRADE XIII
Shirley Moffatt and Eleanor
Wightman
As another school year is quickly
drawing to a close, we think of our
graduating class, Some will be leaving
school besides those of Special Com-
mercial, whose futures we discussed
last week, and Grade XIII, but we
think chiefly of the latter at this time,
Some of these students are as yet not
certain of their next moves but we
will be watching them with interest
as each takes up his respective fur-
therment of education. We are happy
to see so many of them going on with
their educations and we following
students and their teachers will be
wishing each and everyone of these
young people success in their careers.
Mary Ann Cleland and Joe Brown
who received all their High School
educations here are not stopping with
High School but are going on to
University. Both plan to take the
course in General Arts at the Univer-
sity of Toronto next term, Stan Hise-
ler. who has received all his High
School education in Wingham is
going to the Ryerson Institute of
Technology Where he will pursue the
study of electronics. Vicki Moskowski
is hoping to attend the Ontario Vet-
erinary College, Unlike most of our
Grade XIII students who have re-
ceived their Public and High School
education in one or two places. Vicki
has received hers in three countries.
From 1940-1945 during the war years
she was in the United States where
she got as far as Grade IX. After the
war she returned to England where
she completed her High School educa-
tion. About a year she came to Can-
ada and is now taking Grade XIII
at Wingham High School to prepare
herself' for entrance into ON.C.
Raymond Bolt who has become one
of us in the past year plans to enter
Ontario Agricutral College. Raymond
took his Lower and Middle school
education in Wroxeter. On entering
0. A. C. he will take the general
course which each student takes there
for twO years and then enter special-
ized training in some field offered
there.
The teaching bug usually makes its
presence known to some students and
a good thing it is for where would we
be now without our teachers? Edith
Dinsmore, Joyce Craig, June MacDon-
ald, Francis Walker and Jean Pen-
nington are planning to enter Strat-
ford Normal School in September.
Ruth Showers, not wanting to be
separated from her friends but not !
being bitten by said "teaching bug"
intends to go to Stratford school for ,
Nursing.
Don Fortune, not satisfied with the
amount he is learning this year is
coming back to High School next year
to take some more subjects. Jean
Elliott and Jim Anderson are uncer-
tain just what they will be doing next
year, although Jim says he may go to
0.A.C.

"LET'S LAFF AWHILE"
By Gordon Lane
Ron Ste. Marie: "Why are you rac-
ing through town at this rate?"
Stew Nimmo: "My brakes are out
of order, and I want to get home
before there is an accident."
Miss McGregor: "If Shakespeare
were alive today, would he still be
regarded as a remarkable man?"
John Hanna: "I should say so; he'd
be nearly four hundred years old,"
THE GRAMMAR LESSON
You see a pretty girl walking down
the street, She is of course, feminine.
If she is singular you are nominative.
You go across to her and as a result
becorne dative. If she is net objective
you are soon plural, You walk home
with her and her Mother becomes ac-
cusative, Then you enter the house
and sit down where her little brother,
is the definite article. Next you talk
of the future and she changes to the
past. Vbti kisS her and her father be-
cOmes present. Things are tense and
you soon find yourself the past parti-
ciple,
