Jim was chosen in 1964 as one of 35 students from across Canada to attend a five weeks' summer seminar. Last year when the Science Club washost to the Midwestern Ontario Sci- ence Fair his leadership and ef- fort in the project was largely responsible for its success. Jim is now a student at the Univer- sity of Waterloo. In his opening remarks the valedictorian stated that it was an honor to be chosen for this part in the program, but when asked to do it he realized there was little he could say that had not been said on such occasions in previous years. Then he thought of a factory worker go- ing to another town. While there was perhaps nothing new that he could say, his fellow workers would feel slighted if there were no good-byes. He voiced his thanks and farewell to all connected with the school. He congratulated I the citizens, who through the board had supplied this fine school for the students. In talk- ing to people from other high schools Jim realized ,how for- tunate students in Wingham school are. He also now recog- nizes the amount of work the teaching stuff devotes to the pupils. The parents, too, de- serve credit he said, for offer- ing encouragement, even when marks are poor. His advice to the under- graduates was to get all the education they can. There is training now for all jobs and this training will help to equip people for the vocations they choose. Jim was presented with his certificate as an Ontario Schol- ar by Dr. Gillies.

"Prayerfor Today" by Family Night at Community Hall WHITECHURCH—Hydro in- terruptions last Tuesday caused concern for many of the Wo- men's Institute members who were preparing food for Family Night at the community hall. Several farmers who depend on hydro for milking machines did not get out for the supper, but attended the program later. By 7.45 about 60 people sat down to the potluck supper with tables adorned by candles. Mrs. Bill Evans, first vice- president, presided for the pro- gram and gave an opening poem, "Husbands and Wives".

Mrs. George Walker read an address to Mrs. Claude Coffin, who is leaving the community Handel was sung by the Senior Ensemble.

Mrs. Evans thanked Mr. Welwood and presented him with a gift. Mrs. Don Ross and John Gibb played piano solos. Public $chool Open House Well Attended Principal T. S. Beattie, in his report to the Wingharn Pub- lic School board on Monday evening, said that the open house held last Wednesday was very well attended, and some teachers had reported that every child had had a parent visit the class. More fathers had visited the school this year he said. Chairman William Harris said this was good and that it shows the interest which parents are taking in school affairs. The chairman welcomed Inspector J. A. Kinkead to the meeting. Mr. Kinkead explain- ed some of the problems per- taining to the purchase of text books and the amount of choice that the school has in making such purchases. Some mem- bers of the board expressed the view that the Department should stipulate what books are to be used. The inspector also outlined the problems in con- nection with the setting up of an opportunity class. In other business the board passed the minutes and accounts and heard a letter from the On- tario Trustees' Council regard- ing -resolutions placed before the Minister of Education, cov- ering audits, children with multiple handicaps and vanda- lism in school buildings. The board did not feel there was any problem in any of these areas in the Wingharn school, Principal Stewart Beattie re. ported October enrolment at 478 with an average attendance Of 96,37 per cent. Complying with a request by the teachers, the board agreed to purchase new pictures of the Queen for the classrooms. The board went over the architect's plans for the new addition, in order to settle a number of minor problems which have come up. ORDER OF FOODS IMPORTANT TO TEETH The order in which you eat your food can help keep teeth bright and attractive even though you can't brush after every meal, Some foods cling to rhe teeth and leave an uncomfort- able unclean feeling. Others have the reverse effect and cleanse as you eat, leaving teeth bright, fresh -feeling and attractive. Among the latter are fresh fruits and vegetables. Finish off a meal or a snack with a juicy fresh apple for fun eating. At the same time you'll be cleaning away films left on the teeth by clinging foods, par- ticularly by sweets and other fermentable starches and sugars.
