Stan Hall, principal of the Wing-ham
High School for the past ;25 yeai-s,
has decided to leave for Sithcbe. The
school will hardly be the same with-

It would be difficulty indeed, to
calculate the full extent of a veteran
teacher's influence. In 25 years
Hall has passed on to thousands '6..f

in the highly tOrmative
years of their lives, not only 'ls:no:cv-

and' curricula, but a broad segment
of his personality and his personal
philosophy. Hundreds of mothers
and' fathers are now passing to their
children the basic truths which they
learned under the principalship of
the high school.

A WISE MAN HAS
LEFT US -
Following upon the foregoing
editorial, it is strange, and sad' that
li'e should turn hi even moreSerious
vein, to pay tribute to the late John
Pollock, whose death occurred' laSt
week. He, too, has left. an indelible
mark upon-the lives of those about
him. • =
It.is perfectly true, of course,
that every sincere minister of the
faith has far-reaching influence upon
human character—but Mr. Pollock's
life and workwere more than ordin-
arily valuable.
We can very clearly recall his
address at the ordination of his
nephew, Rev. Douglas Fry in St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church a
little more than a year ago. At that
time we thought of his remarks as
perhaps the wisest we had ever heard
spoke from one human to another.
In his own beautiful phraseology Mr.
Pollock spoke not only of the young
clergyman's responsibilities, hilt he
also reminded him thit he was a
humble servant of his Master and
his fellowmen, and- he- suggested that
understanding of human beings, in
all their weakness, -would be one of
his most important tasks.
The gay and carefree life may
have its passing attractions, butth e
near-perfection of a life lived faith-
fully and well in service to God and
man, bears powerful testimony to
the lasting worth of the finer things
-which: are within man's grasp.

Thursday evening of this week
the Kinsmen-will open their second
*Mal Trade Fair and it is an enter-
prise .which deserves the solid sup-
pOrt• . of everyone.- in' Wingham and
district: judging by last year's re-
cord, that support will be given.
There-are many reasons why we
can Wholeheartedly recommend the
Trade Fair to the general public.
The first, .of course, is that it is
interesting event, all the way
through. The Kinsmen provide plen-
ty-of good-entertainment for the 25c
'.dIrtt.iaion, price; the exhibits are in-
teresting i>l the extreme, since they
olio 'fi rs t-cl ass show wind ow for

Ex;en More important is the fact
that every:cent'of the proceeds will
be used 'fo the benefit of the public.
At' the present time the Kinsmen
are 'dedicated to giving every pos-
sible dollar to the swimming pool
fiMii—and' they spare no effort to
raise ilioSe
Last:year the fair was crowded
every oneof the three evenings and

guarantee the continuity of one of
the 'very; finest public undertakings

This week. I received a letter
that' made my lip curl like a corn-
flake. It was notification that the
Class of '49 will be holding, a big,
jelly, 10-year reunion in. Toronto
next October.
It will be complete with foote
ball game, banquet, dance, and- no
doubt, class "yells" and songs,,Jult
a real swell get-together of .that
grand bunch of good guys and
great gals that made up the -best
little old class that ever graduated,
Before we go any farther, let
Me make it crystal clear that I
would not (a) touch with the pro-
verbial ten-foot pole, or (b) be
found dead at, any such gathering.
The very thought of it gives inc
the green shudders.
In the first place, I should have
graduated with the class of '44.
But a war, followed by a year In
hospital., forced ire to take my
degree with the-Class of '49, Their
wide-eyed adolescence did not en-
dear. my classmates to me.. Nor
did my greying hair and austere"
manner endear me to theme
In the second place, lavas always
a pallid imitation of a college boy.
Organized cheering always brought
me out in goose bumps of ernbarl
rassment, School "yells" made me
wish desperately to be sorneplaee
else, And when cla.ssmates sang
the good old college song, tears
of emotion practically spurting
from their eyes, I would stand
about in a state of silent: acute
uneeee, cold chills of distress cruis-
ing my spine.
I am not citing this reaction as
being athnirable or unique. It's
just. the way I respond. Lots of
people get a wonderful feeling of
togetherness when they stand,
arms around each other's simile
ders, belliiwing puerile words to a
borrowed tune., All I say is, let
they& stay logether, as long as
they include me out.
A third reason I would never ap-
pear at a class reunion is that I
wouldn't dare. One of my real
college friends, as opposed to class-
mates, might hear about it, and
laugh himself into a state of chro-
nic hysteria.
The crowd I hung around with
at college was scarcely the clean-
cut type that went to school thane-.

DON'T BE
DOWNHEARTED
Looking back to the fairly gen-
eral condition of "blues" which per-
vaded us about two years ago, with
its consequent doubts abotft the fu-
ture of business in this area, it is
cheering indeed to feel the new sense
of energy which is so common to-
day.
Business throughout this section
of the proyine is good—perhaps
never better at any previous time.
Right here in \Ingham new homes
are going up, new cars stand in most
family garages and merchants are
doing a brisk business. We do not
suggest that nobody has a problem;
of course there are lots of them. But
certainly they are not as common as
most of us have known in years
gone by.
It is, however, the general feeling
of confidence we like most, No pro-
gress can ever be made by people
who are frightened of the future.
That is the meat from which depres-
sions are made. Foolish spending in
homes and businesses can be cal-
amitouS, but foolish pessimism' and
unwarranted curtailment of spend-
ing can be just as fatal.
Wingham and its surrounding
rural community have much to look
forward to. Right at the present
time there is reasonable promise of
more industrial expansion in town.
If it hears fruit it means greater
prospoity for all of us,
