TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Wingham Lions Club have ordered
four pieces of playground equipment,
a senior swing, a 24-foot slide, a teet-
er, and a horizontal ladder that will
be here inside of two weeks. -.It is
hoped to have the equipment placed
in the town park by the first of June
at the latest.
Secondary school scholars from Mt.
Forest, Arthur, Harriston, Listowel,
Drayton, Clifford and Palmerston will
all come to Wingham on Friday for
the interscholastic Field Meet. There
will be morning and afternoon ses-
sions, Children and scholars wearing
school colors free.
When a mother fox deserted six
valuable young ones, comprising her
family, the owner, Dr. R. DuVal, was
in a quandry as to how to raise the
pups. The problem was solved, how-
ever, when it was found that the black
cat becomes a willing nurse. The
youngsters give every sign of doing
well and the owner is looking about
to fortify his fox farm with more cats.
Another cold dip, with some rain
came along the end of the week, in-
terfering a little with farm work,.
Given another week or ten days of
warm sunshine, and the farmers will
have the seeding done. Considerable
concern is felt for fall wheat and grass
because of prolonged frosts.
Protests were heard from numerous
motorists when it was suggested that
the Ontario gasoline tax should be in-
creased to 5c a gallon. If they lived in
England automobile owners would
know what real taxation means. The
British budget announced this week
provides for a tax of eight cents a gal-
lon on gasoline and this on top of
the annual license fee of one pound
per horse power.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
The new fire truck had its first real
test on Thursday afternoon when a
storehouse in the rear of R. A. Cur-
rie's furniture store caught fire. The
building, when the firemen arrived,
was a blazing inferno hut was quickly
under control when two lines of hose
from the new pumper were turned on.
The storehouse was entirely destroyed
and the workshop also in the rear of
the store, was slightly damaged. The
blaze is believed to have started from
a spark from a bonfire. The wind was
very high at the time and the fire
spread rapidly, It was fortunate that
the blaze was discovered by John Cur-
rie before it had made much headway
or a larger conflagration might have
resulted.
Seeding operations in this district are
away ahead of what they were this
time last year. Last week many re-
ported that they had completed their
seeding and on the whole all +he seed-
ing in this district is well under way
if not completed, Last year it was
about May 1st that seeding commenc-
ed in this district and some of it was
later than that. This is an early year
apparently. Speaking of seeding oper-
ations one farmer who has 'been a
resident here all his life tells of a
year, 33 years ago, when he finished
his seeding on April 28th. This year
he finished up last week.
Harold Mitchell has been appointed
manager of the Girls' Softball team.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE
111611 SCHOOL
SPORTS
by Hugh Sinnamon
Since the winter months have now
passed, I am obliged to bring to the
readers of the school columns the
results of the interform basketball
games which have been played weekly
from 3:20 to 4.00 in the VVingham
armouries under the supervision of
Mr. Higenell. Much has passed in
these P. T. periods and as follows are
the results.
IXB was victorious over IXA and in
turn IXB was put out by XC.
XA beat IXC and XA was vanquish-
ed by XC, To conclude the junior bas-
ketball story, XIB will fight it out with
XC for the junior championship.
In senior basketball XIB shut out
XIA and XIIA did likewise with XIIB.
The senior championship has yet to be
contested by XIB and fifth form.
As a second item to be taken care
of here, interform softball and volley-
ball championships will be contested
after cadet inspection on May 5.
On June 1st., the school will hold its
annual track and field meet. It is to
be expected that such an event will
brighten the dark days before the
final exams start.

COMING EVENTS
by Clifford Coultes
The short remainder of this school
year appears to be,, crowded with
events of interest to the students. It
is most pleasant to have something to
look forward to besides the final ex-
ams, of which we are increasingly be-
ing reminded by revengeful grins
from the teachers. •
On May 15, grades IX and X will
go on a bus trip to the O.A.C. Guelph.
This trip was enjoyed last year by
those students who come on the buses.
Perhaps some of our town-dwelling
friends will decide to become farmers.
On May 18, another event, enjoyable
to all, will arrive in the form of a
holiday. This is in honor of Queen
Victoria, whose birthday on which we
usually have a holiday, falls the fol-
lowing week-end. The holiday is also
in honor of our present monarch,
Queen Elizabeth II.
Another annual high school event
will be held on the night of May 22,
this being the open night, when the
teachers will, as usual, display stud-
ents' work of the year. Mr. Vogan's
shop and Miss Behrn's home econo-
mics room are always highlights. We
hope the girls will make. some buns
and distribute samples. One day one of
theta gave us a bite off a bun she had
made, which we enjoyed very much.
Everyone is invited to attend.
The track and field meet, usually
held in the fall,• will also transpire
sometime this spring. As usual there
will be a local meet to be followed by
an inter-school one, three other
schools participating.
Last and most dreaded, come the
final examinations. We will reap the
fruits of our work, or else the conse-
quences of the lack of it. After this
come the holidays, when the teachers
can at least rest their aching heads
for a while, as we proceed to have a
wonderful time forgetting all we have
learned, so that in September—but
never mind that!
Next week an account 3f the current
cadet training and coming inspection
will appear in this column.
