planted early were washed out or rot-
ted with heavy rains,
A new kind of worin something like
a snail in nature, is causing trouble
with the garden stuff. The leaves of
beans and lettuce are badly affected.
Clover and alfalfa are in blossom

the closing afterno0 the pupils held
an informal farewell to their teacher,
Pte. -Leslie S. Winch, of the 161st
Batt„ who enlisted serveral weeks ago
but secured permission to remain on
duty till the end of the term. During
the year which he has spent in Blue -
vale school, Pte. Winch bas been very
popular with the children, although
Use management of one of the largest
schools in the Inspectorate required
the exercise of atria discipline and
the training of an extra large En-
trance class, the opening of School
Gardening and the many improve-
ments to thesiounde which demand-
ed his oversight, made him an un-
usually busy teacher. On the closing
afternoon a considerable number of
adults gathered at the school to join
the children in giving him a hearty
Send Off. Tennis, croquet, and font
ball displayed the resources of the
spacious grounds for recreation pur-
poses and the new "giant stride" was
a centre of interest. At 5 o'clock the
school bell called those present indoors
where the program opened with the
echoed yell given by the pupils and
after a solo by blargaret Gamma and
a recitation by Beatrice Dobie, the
presentation to the teacher of a suede
leather money telt was made by
Hai vey blesser, Ella Dobie reeding.
the following farewell address :-
PTE. LESLIE S. WINCH, 161st Batt.
DEAR TEACHER -We have known
for several weeks that you were going
to leave us at the end of this term, the
time has now come to part, and we
say Good-bye ..with sorrow, for we
shall miss you. During the past year
you have been our kind friend and
companion as well as teacher. You
have made us all feel attached to you
by your hearty interest in our plans
end projeets, your warm-hearted and
friendly disposition, by your intetest
in the welfare of. our school and be-
cause you played with its as well as
worked with us. Although knowing
that yon were soon to leave us it did
not make you take any less interest
in improving one mahout surroundings
but you have worked hard to make
the .school and grounds a place of
beanty and a place foe good times and
jelly sports. When you have gone
Sway there will be much to remember
you by, the trees and sin ubs that have
started to grow under your care, the
flowers you have platited, the gardens
you have helped us make, the play-
geound equipment you have helped to
prepare and put in place for our
pleateuro and after this the war and
its history will mean more to us than
it ever did before when we think of
one soldier teacher who has gone to
represent Bluevale school in helping
to make the world a better place to
live in for the boys and girls of coun-
tiles which are now torn and bleed-
ing flout the wrongs inflicted
upon them by their oppressors. The
boys and girls want to give yon a
little gift all their own just to reinind
you of our affection and regard. We
will be very glad if i b proves to be a
convenience and aid to you on active
service brit what we want you to un-
ileestand most of all is that it was
prompted by true set row in parting
from you. We would like to change
our School yell a little and say
"Rah for the teacher, he's all right,
Teaching school or golegito fight,
Constantinople and Timbuttoo,
Teacher, teacher, bully for you."
Signed on behalf of the pupils of
Bluevale school,

A companion in arms: says :-"We
hurried bis body in a little cemetery
behind the lines and a cross now
stands above his, grave. Homer was
one of the best chaps in the Company,
always cheerful and willing and was
to have been promoted on the first
vacancy. It was a great pleasure to
have him in the platoon. Everybody
liked him and it was a sad blow to us
when he died the noblest of deaths in
the world. Be has gone to his re-
watd a few years before the rest of Os.
Excuse the liberty I take in writing
you but I thought it the least I could
do to let you know how highly we
thought of him and how peacefully he
passed away." Mrs.; Russell has 6
nephews wearing the King's colors
and Homer was the fleet to fall.
