We had a wind storm this week that ruined our whlo'le crop, 340 acres of wheat and 50 of oats. It was terrible. It lasted two days and a night. The dirt is piled around the yard just like snow drifts. The garden is ,gone 'too, We haven't lettuce, rad- ial -les, ni'at even an anon to use. The. weather has been awfully dry, only about two hours rain since last July 271th. We have no 'hired .help now- ha'd one for seven weeks in spring. .This whole community is sure hard hit, Ole Myhre hasn't even a straw to feed his st'o'ck, and we have about two more loads. You could 'hardly believe it; it is desolate looking coun- try to when you saw it; I nit.ts't clean up some dirt -you can't see the pattern our the linoleum. Arnold is a nice bay now, is grow- ing tall and says everything. He has two kittens that he mauls around a lot.. Cal Carey was bit hard 'by the wind too. 'Toon Myhsa has .gone away up north to homestead. (Butter is 15c and eggs 8c at title store here, and we pay 85c for 20 lbs, of rolled oats. Cod'3rre's store was burnt to the ground two weeks ago, nothing saved.

No. 12, M'dlCillop.' • The following address was read by Elizabeth MacFarlane, .one of her pupils, and ';Margaret Hallkirk and Agnes Case presented a beautiful O- ver Tea Service as a token of good- will towards their teacher. Dear Miss Strong—It was with deep regret that we learned you were severing your connection as teacher, with us. As we recall the happy re- iattonahips which have existed at all times between 'teacher and pupil, the untiring energy with whith each duty e pertaining to your profession has been performed, the kindly and af- fectionate attitude maintained on ev- ery occasion, the sincere interest and sympathetic co-operation in every o'hase of the school and community life, the high standard of ,moral and intellectual influence making its indel- ible impression upon the daily life of the children under your care, the un- selfish use of your multoal ab'ili'ty gi- ven so courteously and u nsiti'ntingly, we fepl that our community is suffer - Mg a distinct loss at your departure. Your loving and cheerful disposition, together with qualities of leadership in e'duca'tional reli'gi'ous and musical circles -leadership which was dis- played in such a 'kindly, efficient man- ner-ha•ve endeared you to the hearts of pupil and parent alike. lAs a alight expression of our love and appreciation, we beg you to ac- cept this token of our esteem, which is accom'p'anied by ourkindest regard and 'best wishes for your future wel- fare and' happiness. We hope that the golden chain of. love which has bound us together in the past, will not be b'a'ker by your renaaval f'o'm our midst;• but, that glowing memories will forever keep fresh and unfadling the fragrant flow- ers'' of friendship. Signed on behalf of the Ratepayers and, Pupils- of S.S. No. 12, MdKi.11loAp. Miss 'Strong, although taken com- pletely jny surprise, ,made a very able reply, in which she expressed her sin- cerest appreciation of the many kired- nesses, support and co-operation which had been shown to her. She also stated the value of the combined interests of the Horne and School i'tt the welfare of the ,pupil, and the nec- essity more than ever before of the careful education of the child.

Valedictory Gradtra:ting Class,Scott'Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, une 24, 1931. Isobel l'IcLaughlin. "It matters not how long. we lives FIow soon the sands run in the glass: It natters only what we give Of service as we pass." It is with deep and varied emotions that we stand before you on this our Graduation Day. 'For three years we have looked forward to this day as the consummation of our hopes. .Now we realize that it but marks the threshold of a life consecrated to ser- vice! Though gratified beyond measure to see our hopes of years realized at last, yet oar pleasure is dantpene'd by a pang of sincere regret on this•Gra- duation Day. Three years ago we entered training -hopeful, expectant, determined to meet and surmount all difficulties with that courage which is essential in any undertaking, borne up with bright hopes for the future. For three „years we have belonged to this happy family of nurses, under the protection'o'f our beloved Alma Mater, of whom we are all so proud. We have worked together, planned together, share'd the same pleasures (and these were not a few). We have been privileged to work in. a beautiful environment. Not one of us but will look back with longing to the grand old trees, the wide green lawns, the flowers, and hest of all the "home atmosphere", surrounding tine Scott Memorial Hospital. Each year I the grounds have been beautified still more by interested citizens. ,Neither isthis pleasant s p Basan atmosphere lacking throughout the interior of our hospi- tal. We have 'been proud .of our train- ing school, and S repeat it has been a privilege and .a pleasure to spend our three years of training in each sur- roun dings. !Greatest of all, we have enjoyed our work among the patients. MIs have grown to know and understand our patients to an extent which, in a lar- ger hospital, is impossible. We have enjoyed ,meeting so many of them, and front our personal contact with them, we have gleaned a broad understand ing of human nature, which is one of the nurse's greatest assets. Have we been happy? Indeed we have been happy, nor have we by any means been thrust upon our own re- sources for our pleasures. The citi- zens of Seaforth, in their kindness and generosity, have opened their hearts and their homes to the nurses, and. have done rat a little to make aur training a happy one. But it has not all been easy, She who enters the nursing profession up- held by visions o'f flowery paths and sunny skies is doomed to bitter dis- appointment/ Every day calls for sacriliice, and we who love it would not have it othertisel Those very sacrifices form a most essential part of the nurse's training. We learn to put others first, to eat the bread of hum'ble'ness, to realize that duty to our fellow -than is the onething that counts. We learnt that: "It's doing your job the' best you can, And being just to your fellow -man, It's figuring how, and learning why, And looking forward, and thinking high. Dreaming little, and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch, \With what is finest in word and deed; I't's being clean, and playing fair; Tt's laughing lightly at Dante Despair, Sharing sorrows, and work, and mirth, And earmatth,ing better this good old It's striving and serving through strain and stress; It's 'being your noblest-tirat'.e suc- cess: ' Now, at last, we are nearing the end of the training we have )grown to love. Looking back, how short the years have been! How fraught with mem- ories. Memories we will cherish throughout the years) Of disappoint- ment? Yes, but oft timesour disap- paintntent ntexile another's s joy, _And now, it is with a pang of sincere re- geet that we see our years of trafnib,g drawing to a close. As we stand on the threshold and view the opportun- ities ahead, vee cannot help but cast a lingering look backward, LADY BOWLERS. ,The Lady Bowlers held a very en joyalhle tea and bridge at the home o'f their president,dors, J,antes Dever- eaux, on Friday, June 19th. The amount cleared was $40. We take this eeeortuitity to thank all who •con- tri'buted so kindly and generously to its success. AN•NIOUNCEM'ENT iivlrs.

The world :grows better year by year, Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her uniform, grins and siings. And keeps on doing the same old things.

Longing for home, and all the while Wearing that old professional smile. Blessing 'the new born baby's first bre'at'h, Closing the eyes that are stilled in 'Death. Taking the blame for the Doctor's mistakes; Oh, dear! what a lot of .patience it takes, Going off duty at Seven o'clock, Tired, discouraged and ready to drop.

Scott, at Sunny Crest Farm, which occurred on Thursday afternoon, June 1811), af- ter a few- hours' illness, was a shack to all, rendered' mare particularly so by the fact that until Thursday morn- ing Mrs. Scott had been in her cus- tomary health. In December of last year the deceased suffered a severe • illness but had since been recoGered. For the greater part of her life Mrs.. Scott, formerly M:ar'ion Muldrewv, liv- ed in the vicinity of Seaforth and her - passiag is deely felt.

In 11898 she was married to her now ,. bereft husband, going to live at Rox- boro, and in Seaforth for eight year's, and since 1915 at Sunny Crest Farm, at the edge of the town. As web as being a life -member of the \V:\I.;S. of her church, Mrs. Scott had a deep interest in all work of the - church, where, as by all who knew her kind and admirable nature, she was held in high regard.
