the war zone, stayed for two days with 1st Commonwealth Division put-

south of Utrecht on a tributary of the
Rhine.
Nicolaus biked 4i,, miles to school
but he likes our bus transportation
much better. He didn't mind the bik-
ing, however, because he says there
were no hills to climb. Nicolaus stud-
ied English for about two years and
he speaks French fairly well. (He
certainly outshines his 9A friends in
"Coors Primaire do Francais)
He left Rotterdam, Holland on
on October 24th, wish his father, bro-
thers and sisters, and travelled by
boat to Halifax. From there he travel-
led inland by train and arrived at
Blyth on November 5th.
Nicolaus likes Canadian snow and
says that we get. more snow here in
.one day than Holland does in a year.
He finds Canadian boys more friend-
ly than those in Holland. Among his
favourite sports are biking and skat-
ing. Nicolaus says he has never play-
ed ice hockey but he enjoys ground
ohnoeck.)ey very much. (Notice the bulge
of the eyes of Wingham boys at that
Nicolaus speaks English well and
is improving steadily with assistance
from Miss McGregor. but he seems to
have a bit of trouble keeping up to
some of the teachers. In spite of a
relatively strange language and new
customs to become acquainted with,
Nicolaus is getting along very well
and likes our beloved old school and
its students and staff.
Our welcome may not be very easy
to understand but it is certainly felt,
if not expressed. We want Nicolaus
to like his new home and to feel at
home in our school so we extend
every welcome to him,

People that have to earn a living
by minding someone else's children
ought to be pitied. A baby-sitter these
days needs to have the patience of
Job, the strength of a war-horse, and
a bottle of nerve pills handy at all
times.
A few weeks ago, a highly respect-
ed citizen of our fair city asked me
to stay with her children for the day
as she wanted to go to see her
mother, (Now, I can well understand
why the poor soul wanted to get
away.) Due to the fact that my fin-
ances were low I obliged.
Little did I know what I was let-
ting myself in for. To begin with the
list of orders I received from Mrs.
Green, the lady of the house, was
enough to daunt the bravest war
hero. The baby was to have pablum
and strained baby food. Jimmy al-
ways has a sleep right after dinner.
("That's a break," I thought).
While Mrs. Green was getting
ready to leave, I had a chance to put
the children under observation. The
baby was asleep in her cradle. How
sweet she looked. Jimmy was quietly
leafing through a picture hook.
"What an easy way to make some
spending money," I thought.
However, fifteen minutes after Mrs.
Green left, the scene on the home
front had taken a drastic change for
the worse. Jimmy had invited a play-
mate in to play with him, And what
did they have to play with? Natural-
ly, drums, Then the baby woke up

could have howled myself.)
I thought I could get the baby back
to sleep by rocking her in the cradle,
However, by this time the boys had
tired of playing with their drums and
were seeking some new form of en-
tertainment. "Let's play Roy Rogers"
I heard Jimmy say. "That's a good
idea," replied his playmate, "and
Donna can be Trigeeer, when the baby
cries we can pretend it is the war-

TIME TO SMILE
A ,kind old gentleman was strolling
down the street when he saw a small
boy standing on the front steps of
a house, trying to reach the doorbell.
The small boy stood on tip-toe, and
even jumped up as high as he could,
but he was unable to reach the bell.
The kind old gentleman went up
the steps, rang the bell, and said:
"Well my little man, now what?"
"I don't know what you're going
to do, " said the little man, "but I'm
going to run like the devil."
