SPECIAL PURCHASE
While vacationing this sum ,
mer in the Woodstock area, I
had the pleasure of visiting a
tobacco farm during the tobac ,
co harvest, I found this visit
very interesting and informa ,
The dry, sandy soils in the
region, combined with a slight ,-
ly longer growing season than is
found in our area, affords a
suitable environment for the
growing of this delicate but
valuable crop. Transplanted
from greenhouses in the spring,
it is ready to be harvested by
August, and this harvest often
lasts well into September.
The leaves are removed from
the tobacco plant by primers,
who take three leaves at a time,
beginning with the sand leaves.
These are the largest leaves,
found nearest the ground. Dur-
ing the next picking, 'seconds'
are taken, followed by 'thirds',
'fourths', and, on large plants,
'fifths', ending with the 'tips'.
This leaves the tobacco stalk
completely bare.
These leaves are placed, by
the primers, into a boat, which
is drawn up and down the rows
of tobacco plants by a horse,
trained to move along with the
primers.
Once filled, the boat is tak-
en to a table located near a
kiln. Here, two girls, called
handers, give the leaves, in
bundles of three, to a tier, who
securely ties thirty-two to thir-
ty-four of these bundles onto a
stick.
These slats are placed on an
elevator, which takes them up
to the kiln-hanger, who, as his
name suggests, hangs each
stick in the kiln to dry.
Each kiln holds one thousand,
two hundred and fifty sticks.
When filled, it is closed tight-
ly, and heaters and fans are
turned on inside it to promote
rapid curing. This usually is
completed in a week.
Once dried, the leaves are
removed from the kiln and tak-
en to a strip room, where they
are removed from the sticks to
be graded during the winter
months.
The majority of these leaves
are purchased by cigarette
companies, who grind them to
form tobacco as we know it.
As can be seen, the tobacco
harvest is a very complicated
procedure and depends greatly

One of the new additions in
W.D.H.S. this year is Mr.
Mountford. Mr. Mountford
was born in Fort William, Ont-
ario where he attended grade
school and high school. He at-
tended Fort William Collegiate
Institute arid moved on to the
University of Western Ontario.
Mr. Mountford is librarian and
is convinced that Wingham has
great opportunity for him in
this field.
Mr. Mountford spent six
years in London and eight
months in Toronto, but enjoys
a small town like Wingham.
He finds the students of W.D.H.
S. a lively bunch but very in-
teresting and easy to get along
with. Having lived in the
on the weather, An early frost,
severe winds or hail can com-
pletely destroy the delicate to ,-
bacco leaves, and the farmer's
crop is worthless. The risk in-
volved, however, is over-
shadowed by the profit of a suc-
cessful crop.
My visit to this tobacco farm
will always stand out as a most
informative day. I believe that
it is well worth while to in-
vestigate the origin of the num-
erous cigarettes, cigars, and
other tobacco products purchas-
ed daily by many Canadians.
Perhaps you, as I, will ap-
preciate the work taken to pro-
duce each tiny cigarette.

larger cities he finds it difficult
to get used to buses coming and
going from the school.
Some of Mr. Mountford's
hobbies are reading, tennis,
hockey, and watching football
and soccer. He also enjoys
travelling and has been from
coast to coast. lie wants to go
to Bermuda and Europe.
Mr. Mountford's main am-
bition is to have every shelf in
the library empty because the
students are eagerly reading
the books. His second and
more probable ambition is to
have every student read one
book a week.
On behalf of the students,of
Wingham District High School
I wish to welcome Mr. Mount-
ford and wish him a happy arid
prosperous future.

Last Thursday afternoon,
Wingham's Junior Girls' volley-
ball team travelled to Clinton
to play four exhibition games.
The results were quite promi-
sing as Wingham tied with God
erich for second place.
WINGHAM VS GODERICH
Game number one began in
Wingham's favour until sudden-
ly the score became 13-13.
After both teams struggled for
two points Goderich came out
on top with a score of 15-13.
Game number two was the
best game of the day, It began
in Goderich's favour but the
score was soon 14-14. Both
Goderich and Wingham worked
hard for the next few minutes
to gain the winning points.
Wingham won it 18-16.
Game three ended with a
score of 16-3 for Goderich and
Goderich won the set.
SEAFORTH VS WINGHAM
This was a quick game as
Wingham won 15-0 with Mary
Czerniawski serving the comp-
lete game. Good serving Mary!
Game number two was quite
close but Seaforth won 15-11.
Game number three ended
in Wingham's favour but not
without a good fight. The
Wingham girls had the advan-
tage of 14-12 but just couldn't
seem to gain that last point.
However, the game ended 15-
12 for Wingham.
WINGHAM VS CLINTON
In game number one Clin-
ton had first serve and gained
points quite rapidly only to
have Wingham take an equal
number, leaving the score at
7-7. Even though Clinton
showed good team effort Wing-
ham won 15-10.
Game two almost immed-
iately began in a tie and each
team began taking turns at
having the lead until Clinton
suddenly burst forth and won it
15-6.
The third game was the best
game of the set with Clinton
having first serve and gaining
five points. Wingham showed
her team spirit and tied the
game. Wingham began to
lead 6-5 only to turn it over to
Clinton with an 8-6 lead. By
the time Wingham had tied it
8-8, she had the serve. Mary
Czerniawski again showed her
serving ability for the next se-
ven points and Wingham won
the game and the set.
EXETER VS WINGHAM
Wingham was trailing at
first in game number one when
Doris Coultes gained four points
