The Week At the Seaforth Collegiate Institute
(By Ken Keating)
,,The question of the week around
-the S.C.I. 'seems to be "Who is Char-
iie?' Charlie, is the name signed, to
many tincomlplitnentary poems which
are sent to various pupils. So far no
one has been able to diiscover which
bright student is responsible.

Last week the history period of
Fourth Form was interrupted when
"Stinky" Bec•hely (the dog) wander-
ed into the room. t'Ve know your dog
is ;'ery intelligent. Pat, but isn't he
lather young for Fourth Form?
Christmas exams started this
wee);, as you can tell by the quiet at-
mosphere aroutut the old school, and
everyone is feeling very blue indeed.
* y: *
The man about town of Fourth
Form is on the loose again. For a
while we feared he would die of heart-
break, but now we're afraid that he
is going to join the Clinton Collegiate.
*
Neville "Mugs" McMillan left school
this week to join the R.C.AF. We
are all very sorry to see .him go, as
it sure will be quieter around town.
But maybe the teachers will be able
to get a well-deserved rest.

That Sna:gproot• man of Third Form
is really 'going, to town, much to the
amazement of fellow students. He
e'. en has a special chauffeur (toot,

r. ,therings.

The sale of ;var savings stamps
took a slight drop this week, buts -this
is attributed to the examinations.
Bad Storms
(Continued from Page 1)
seat for all 'this .because I'd volun'teer-
ed for machine gun crew and used to
have to stand watch in my pill -box,
from 1 to 3 in the afternoon and 1 to
3 at night. The pill -box was' on a
level with the bridge and every time
the spray came back.I used to duck
my head behind the parapet. Some-
times the waves would be 40 to 50
teet ihigh and if you were on a lower
deck you souk)- look right up at then.
I guess, Bill, I owe it to my experi-
ence as a row -boater on the Goderich
and Bayfield rivers, because I never
once got sea sick and missed only one
meal, that one because I ,slept in. It
used to be funny eating during the,
Storm. You'd just be about to eat
something, the, boat would lurch, the
plate slide over to the railing "around
the table, and you'd be lett without a
,thing on your fork.
Anyway, Bill, to get on, with my
story, thA,trip was quite interesting
with one oi' two sub scares, a slight
snow storm, but on the whole we
had pleasant weather Some of .the
moonlight nights were grand. It was
a shame to waste them. You could
look out over the sea and see the rest
of the ships in the convoy moving like
ghosts; occasionally signalling each
other. We had a large escort most of
the time, except during the storm,
which. scattered .the whole convoy ns
well as the escort. For a while we
were all alone.
After convoying into port the.peo-
ple treatectens fine and we were ptac-

a regular garbage can.
So, Bar Harold Free and Ed. Daly
haven't answered the letters I sent
a couple of weeks ago When we
get our posting we might get leave
and I was hoping to visit them. When
they answer. I'll know their exact lo-
cation.
Well, Bill, it's about time I signed
off and gave the censor a break. Give
my regards to all the gang at the fac-
tory and tell them I wish I was there
to buy some of the hat -pool tickets
on this winter's games.
P.S.—In my rambling I forgot the
most important item of interest. Last
week the King and Queen inspected
our bunch, I tought my way into the
front ranks but at the -last moment
the 0.0 came down the line and.. or-
d,ered that all men in the front rank
be those with khaki respirators. .As
luck would have it, mine was blue so
I had to move back to the third line.
However, I had a dandy view of
Their Majesties and they looked fine.
They are a grand pair and everyone
thinks the world and all of them.
Again, so long.
ed on an express 'train that really
travelled. The trains • are small,
speedy affairs with doors on each lit-
tle compartment leading to the plat-
form. About six sit facing each other
in the cotipartmen'ts•. The- country
we passed over was beautiful, all
green with little hedges and small
toads cries -crossing in every direc-
tion. All along the way there was a
small gaaal system with tiny flat-bot-
tomed barges udriven by motors. At
one place I'm i:ositive I saw one canal
pass dver top of another. Maybe
you'd better 'till 'Ripley about it.
In the towns the thing that struck
my eye was the number of houses
looking alike and each.,with a multi-
tude of chimneys for all the firepla-
es. Those that .had a bagkyard gen-
erally had a garden and an a•ir-raid
shelter On the whole the people are
very 'hospitable and. are certainly not
starving. Naturally they haven't all
the things they'd like to have,• but;
they at least have most of the essen-
tials.
I saw •and crossed over the Thames
River, viewing St. P "u1's Cathedral on
one side and ,the Houses of Parlia-
ment on the tither. Things are not
smashed anywhere like I thought
they'd be, but maybe I wasn't in the
right placers. As yet 1 haven't experi-
enced any bombings, although I wit-
nessed one from a distance • and have
been in several "alerts." There are'
certainly lots of English planes flying
a'r'ound in this country and they go
like the devil.
Right now' I'm temporarily in a
south coastal town awaiting posting
to a school. It's a beautiful spot and
we do nothing but go to shows ani
burr around. The "cinemas" here
are grand with organs and ,Igemen-
dous setting capacities. One novel
thing about them is that people src'
allowed, •to smoke while the picture
is ,going on, so therefore each seat is
equipped with an ash tray Sp'roking
seems to be a favorite pastime over
here, especially 'with the women. I've
never seen so many old women, young
'women and girls smoking on -the
streets in all my life. You'll be walk-
ing clown the street and along comes
an elderly matron pedaling a bicycle
(I got s•o used to saying "cycle I've
forgotten how to spell bicycle) and a
cigarette drooping out of the side of
her 'fniruth Today an old bird about
80 passed by driving a car and in her
mouth she ha.d a cigarette holder with
a cigarette glowing merrily. Need-
less to say, my friend and I stared
for the simple reason we aren't used
to seeing things like that and don't
particularly care to either.
Our next course is going to he
much longer than I thought and ac-
cording to all reports it's going to be
lough. We'll wait and' see how Old
Lady Luck smiles. (T forget to men-
tion that all dances a.nd shows quit
by 9.30 or 10 o'clock).

I'm beginning to get used to walk-
ing around in total darkness and
haven't run into anybody for a long
time. The other day we went sight-
seeing 'and, visited an old church built
in 1093. Near it were the ruins of
an old church built in the 800's. The
old church built in 1093 is still in use
and has many interesting spots in it.
When I get to a permanent station
I'm going to try and get around more
to see the country, beoa.uae I always
did like history and there is plenty
of that over here.
i One thing I've found out about the
ILI
(Prepared by the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture)
The Federation has now over 1,001)
members in Huron County. ,.Also, the
following organizatione have affiliated
with the Federation: Huron County
Fruit "Growers, Dalton Branch (U.F.
W.O.), Huron County Holstein Breed-
ers, the Agricultural Comzrlittee of
the County Council, and the Huron
County, -
Through the efforts of the mem-
bers and member organizations the
Huron County Federatimt of Agricul-
ture has been able to forward the"
Ontario Federation $100-00, or, one-
third of the annual fee.
The ,Goderioh Tow'ns'hip Unit of the
Federation will meet at Holmesv'ille,
Thursday, December 4th, at 8 p.m.
Mr. V. S. Milburn, Ontario Secretary
of 'thee •Federation, will be the speak-
er.
The Hullett Township Unit of the
Federation will meet in Londesboro
Community Hall on Friday, December
5th, at 8 p.m. Mr. Milburn will speak
at this meeting also. Following this
there will be an election of officers,
for 1942, The remnaiuder p1 the eve-
ning will he spent dancing. No ad-
mission.
"The most Critioal problem faced
by 'the farmer today is getting hired
help—and paying for it."
In the planning of the national war
effort, little attention' has been 'given
to the question of the farm labor sup-
ply. But it is a vital one to farmers
who want to stay in +production.
The young men and women who
used to work on farms, both as •perrm-
anent and seasonal 'help, have been
drawn away from .the farms in great
numbers since the .beginning of the
war. Industrial employment took a-
way many; voluntary enlistment hook
away many others, and compulsory
training and conscription for home de-
fence
efence absorbed still more.
The number of wage -paid male
workers on Canadian farms declined
16 per cent in 1941. The only thing.
farmers could do was to offer higher
wages in the hope of attracting labor
back. In 1941 farm wages went up
14.1 per cent for the whole of Can-
ada. As the labor shortage is felt
more acutely in some provinces than
others, farm. wages went up more in
these areas; in Nova Scotia by 20 per
cent, in New Brunswick) by 24 per
cent, and in Ontario by 25 per •cent.
The average increase in monthly
farm wages for the whole of Canada
was only $2.80, although in Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and
Ontario it was. somewhat higher.
'Co-operation alone will make low
cost farm machinery possible. It is
not sufficient to just wish for lower-
priced machinery. Farmers who de-
sire this must work bard for it
through group action. A! united or-
ganization of farmers will get results.
Every one w'il'l admit that in rela-
tion to the income of the farmer,
farm machinery prices are consider-
ably out of line. In 1913, it required
261 bushels of wheat to buy a binder
at Regina. In 1940 it took 637 bushels
to buy the same binder.
Somewhere along the line this sit-
uation needs correcting, and, since the
farmer's Irery existence depends
greatly on these im'piements, the
proper steps must be taken toward a
fair and equitable solution." 4'
