Mr. Feaver stated that the 0.A.S,A. trophy would be Preeent- ed to the team at a civic banquet to be held in their honor at a later date. Mr. Gregg paid a glowing tribute to Vie Lotiglilean, who had coached the championship team throughout its entire season. Capt. Bruce Lott, on behalf of the team, thanked Mr. Grose for his generosity in supplying the dinner. The 99th Pty and regimental head. quarters held the regular training night, Monday, Oct. e5, and the even-. ing was free from officers .or better known as "The Brass", reason being Capt.

Let's hope they learn well or there may be a feW cattle or what have you missing at Meaford range when thia unit goes up on the le and 15 November. * * * The band practiced under the direc- tion of Bdr. "Bill" Henderson and Was in good attendance, but we must tell you Bill the age limit for the Reserve Army is 16% and if that bass drummer you had was of "legal size," "We've got news for you,' or was he accompanied by a parent. * Out in the Q.M. stores Sgt, "Casey" Casemore was having quite a time 'outfitting a new recruit in a uniform. All Casey wants to know is why don't they enlist standard size men so these "made-to-measure" uniforms will fit. The M.T. Section was busy teach- ing the new men how to "drive" and was under the supervision of Bdr. "Dimly" Montgomery. We hope they make out alright as these army ve- hicles have a way of dropping into rivers and canals. If you don't be- lieve this just ask "Big Buck" Sinna- mon what happened to a ration truck overseas. * * If the townspeople saw two 25- pound'er guns aimed at them out at the back of the armouries we don't want them to think we were declar- ing war on them. It was merely the gunners doing gun drill under the direction of WO 2 "'Wilt" Seddon and Sgt. "Jack" Blackwell. Yours truly was out there watching them and amid parts and pieces found one Bdr. "Borden" Jenkins doing main- tenance. Had to look twice to make sure it was not a left over Gunner from the last war crawling out. Signal training was under the supervision of Sgt. "Young Buck" Sinnamon. He was teaching how to splice and tie ,telephone wire and before the evening was over he felt like tying a few knots in a f ew Gunners. Cheer up Buck, maybe the local telephone comparly may need you, in an emergency of course. We cannot let this opportunity go by without mentioning the junior NCO's course being held here on Tuesday and Thursday evenings under the direction of Lt. McArthur and his two insrtuctors S/Sgt. Dug- gan and Sgt. Bow-en of the I and A Cadre, Western Ontario Area, Lon- don. They are doing a good job of knocking the rough edges off the boys on course. After the all day session last Sunday the boys show good signs of potential NCO's. If you don't think so, ask Our. Wade "Mighty" Stapleton. If they don't they Will issue stripes with dome fasteners for easy removal, * Ail in all it was a very good even- ing and for a reminder the battery is still looking for new recruits, so if you young fellows or old war horses are interested, drop in to see us. FINDS TWO OLD COINS— While working, in his garden the other day, Mr, Lewis Gamble found two old coins, both One Penny Upper Canada Bank Tokens. The one is dat- ed 1852 and the other 1854 and both are very well preserved. Some years ago, Mr. Gamble found another similar coin in 'a:most the same spot which might lead one to,believe that at some time in the history of Milvertori, store or hotel must have been located there.—Milverton Sun, CHIEF PLATT ATTENDS OTTAWA CONVENTION POliee Chief Bert Platt, in ills capacity as SIC of the 21st Anti- Tank Regiment, was a delegate to to the Artillery Association Conven- tion in Ottawa on Friday and Satur- day, rePreeenting the regiment there.

LITERARY =WINO The first literary meeting of the year was held on Friday, Qctober in the Wingharn Town Hall. The entire staff and student body was present to enjoy the proceedings. The meeting was opened by the singing of "0 Canada", Following this, our new president of the student body, Roger West, expressed his appreci- ation for haying received the honour of that position, The minutes of the last literary meeting, and those at various execu- tive .meetings since, were read by the seeretary Jean Irwin. These were approved and adopted. A representative of the MacLean- Hunter' "Publishing Company was present in the person of Mr. Curtis. He spoke briefly to the assembled students regarding the coming maga- zine drive, He told that Wingham District High School has one of, the best sales records in the proVince. Mr. Curtis gave us a 'few pointers on the selling of these magazines and showed a few of the prizes available to successful salespeople, Our school will benefit greatly •by the sale of these magazines by receiving the "middleman's" profit of from 35% to 50% of all receipts. We hope that this year will be one of our best in the sale of MacLean-Hunter maga- zines. Instead of the usual student talent, the main hem on the programme was the showing of a film entitled "Henry V". This is the film version of the Shakespearian play by the same name, The leading role of King Henry was played by Sir Laurence Olivier. The opening scenes of the play were staged in the Globe Thea- tre of Old London as it would be in about 100. Later on, instead , of a stage performance, the story was played like a regular movie. It told of Henry's war with France, culmin- ating in the battle of Agincourt. After defeating the French armies, Henry marries Catherine, daughter of the king of France, and peace between England and France is once more restored. The marriage scene is shown 'Played on the stage of the Globe Theatre' once,more. This movie, in Technicolor, proved very interest- ing as it was a true picture of the wars and lives of the French and English soldiers in the 1400's. • George Hall read the journal, of which he is now editor. This journal, consisting of editorials, articles by various school reporters, jokes and gossip, always is a source of interest to the students. The pupils and teachers of W.D.H.S. go out and make the news and then sit on the edge of their chairs throughout the reading of the journal for fear they will be mentioned in the gossip column. The first literary meeting of the 1953-54 term closed with the singing of our National Anthem, Catherine Keating. Magazine Selling Programme Once again this year the Literary Society of W.D.111. , has decided to take on the job of selling MacLean- Hunter magazine subscriptions, As many of you know this is the third year that such an enterprise has been undertaken. With an in- creasing number of sales in the first two years and a greater student body in the present year our prospects for a profitable commission - for our school 'are high. For those of you who are not well acquainted with our methods of transacting • business from previous all money be forwarded by the fifth of the month of each quarter. Words of appreciation were express- ed by Mrs. G. Beecroft, of Brick Church Auxiliary. After the closing hymn, "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah," Mr, Harvey Sperling pronounced the benediction. Years, hero is, what happens: at. W401, each student WOO aasigned certain territory to canvass, In the near future, If not already, the atue dent in whose area you are situated will call and give you pamphlet listing the names and prieeS of the Varions magazines available through this plan. You will decide Which subscriptions and renewals you desire and In a few days the student will again call to fill in your order and collect the money. It's quite simple, Isn't it' It Is the hope of the students and staff of our school that the citizens will co-operate to make the drive a huge success.
