"Tory" Gregg read a letter from
Frank Feaver, seeretary Of the O.A.
congratulating the boys OM their
championship. 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

ing was free from officers .or better
known as "The Brass", reason being
Capt. "sway- Jackson was lecturing

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,

replied.
Mrs. H. Pollock, of Fordwlch, the
Presbyterial C.G.I.T. secretary, called

her report she stressed the fact that
it is the duty of W.M.S. workers to
encourage the girls to' do missionary

chevron and what it means to a
group to be allowed to wear it.

Cracken called the roll of Baby Bands.

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.
