It is that first plunge into organized and disciplined society which irre- vocably shatters the dream that Bobby is S6/l a baby, Somehow., these first school days are prophetic of all that is to follow in an individual's life, The'necessity to work with other people, to assert one's own personality in the big race for success—and the ever-present demand for keen intelligence if one is to survive. The same basic principles which confront a youngster in the kindergarten class are those which exist throughout a lifetime. Heart-rending as it may he to send the wee one oft to school for the first time, we have much to be thankful for in Wingham. Our schools are good ones and we:know that our children will receive much more personal atten- tion than would be the case in a large city school, where mere force of numbers necessitates a sort of mass treat- ment. Children in these large schools undoubtedly receive good educations, but their training lacks that spirit of intimate friendliness which is peculiar to the smaller places. In this town most of the teachers are known to the parents personally and that makes a big difference when the day of parting arrives. So cheer up Mother. The baby is off to school and it won't be too long until he's telling Father how little he knows about the ways of the world. Perhaps that is something you've never had the nerve to do—so there's reason for encouragement in this school business after all. * • I iiiiii ... iiii 1000111 ii 0 i 11114111111010 lllllll 4 llllll 440* lll l REMINISCING 1 llllll 404010144400 0100100000141111114114414141410 Mr. W.

Haselgrove and Wally have GOLF IS WONDERFUL Our new golf course has been open long enough for most of the local fans' to slice and hook around its nine hole layout. This is a fine new addition to our community and is another sign that we are growing. It was with some surprise we learned that Toronto boasts the grand total of 26 golf courses. This is indeed a large number but they can have them all. The line-up at the first tee often resembles a street car queue and it isn't long before tempers are frayed and manners for- gotten. One of the challenges of the 'game of golf is the ob- S-61griCeof rules and, the adherence to golf etiquette. We must confess that etiquette has suffered considerably in this game and yet a good game at all possible unless all players on the course consider and help the other fellow. After all there is hardly a finer game than golf. Players can be anywhere between the ages of 12 to 70 with exceptions both below and above thse marks. Co- ordination, patience, intelligence are all qualities that are developed by good golfers. There isn't .a friendlier place than a golf course or clubhouse. Just playing the game makes you a brother to golfers whether you are in Canada, United States or Europe, Golfers belong to a common fraternity joined by a bond of sportsmanship. When the game originated in Scotland at St. Andrews some of the most devout Scots were hypnotized by the little white "pill" and have been ever J. Campbell and with Mr. Hutton s since.
