When the school imp. Played the part
so beautifully of the angel at tike
manger ins Bethlehem. When the tall,
gangling ,bey of solemn mein and dol-
orous voice,- who had, aever tasted or
smelled even strong, cider, recited, a
,poem of forty verses, each one of
which ended: "I've drunk my last
glass, boys! I've drunk my lase
glass."
There was the 'boy who had had to
change his costume in such a hurry
that he had no time to tie his shoe
laces, and had to shuffle threugh the
following square dance with dangling,
thirteen -inch shoe laces, while the
audience held its breath wafting for
him to trip and throw the whole af-
fair into confuse:tn.
There were hypocrites then as now.
One of the teachers organized a tem-
perance lodge that met in the school
house once a week, and, after .the
lodge had gone home he an- a: some
•cronies would meet in the bush
around a keg of 'whiskey, and carry
on until morning.
Sunday School met in the school
house in the early days, and one laf
the teachers was Dan. Stephenson,
who favorite hymn was "Dare To Be
a Daniel."
Squirrel hunting was one of the
outdoor sports of this school section.
A number of hunters mould meet at
the school, choose sides and see who
could get the most squirrels. Losers
had to provide the supper. There is
the story of the hunter who put hia
lighted pipe in hie bin pocket on tbp
of his powder flask. The resultant
boom was heard a mile, and the pow-
der flask was blown baek-wards and
made a hole in the ground. The start-
led hunter was unharmed, but was
obliged to streak for home, minus
coat-tails and the seat of his trous-
ma.
The year 1890 is the earliest min-
ute book to which the Women's In-
stitute has access at the present time:
Tbree Iiiinclaed and eightyefive dollars -
per annum was paid to James Landes -
borough in the year 189.0. On March
28th of the Same year, they paid Jas.
Laidlaw $8,00 for five cords of two -
foot wood. Mr. A. Tyndall was the
people's auditor; Mr. John Sproat
was' the trustee' auditor, and James
Sproat, William McNaughton and R.
Robinson were the trustee's. ,

James McConnell, Montgomery Davis.
, In 1906 a well was drilled on he
school property, costing $440.00.
Some of the items of expenditure
would make the shoppers of today
open their eyes. In 1893 the school
bought two brooms at '25c each. By
1919 lerooms were ,90c each, and the
school wood cost $54.00. The school
teacher, Mr. R. S. Beattie, was being
paid $780,00.
The number of high school entrance
scholarships won by pupils from this
school is rernarkabled, Mary, Laura
and Billy 'Chesney daughters of the
late Pearson Cheseey, and sisters. of
Hugh Chesney, of Tucteremith, each
won a scholarship in her year. Later
came Afinie Strong, Non3aanaleffetami
and Jessie Archibald. All- six. were
pupils of R. J. Beattie.
The little creek that flows past the•
bottom of the school yard has a his-
tory ,tif its own. We suppose that if
one dollar could be collected for every
scholar who has fallen into it since
the school section was first formed,
a new school could be erected, com-
plete with. all modern equipment.

she gives it wiWngly.
During the war thousands of farm-
ers' "sons auddaughters joined the
armed -services. Helen was one of
them. She joined the W.R.C.N,S. At
first her Standard equipment was a
mop and a bucket, to be used for the
very necessary but unglamorous jab
of being a "sloshie." The Navy used
most of its new recruits to help swab
the decks! Sooil she was commis -
atoned and spent the rest of her time
in service as a dietitian responsible
for the feeding of several thousand
Canadian'sailors „at different bases in
Canada. After the war She returned
to her work with rural youth.
In the winter of 1946, Helen and
the local Agricultural Representative
conducted a three-month short -course
in Home Economics and agriculture
at the newly opened Rural Youth and
Agricultural Centre at Cayuga, Ont.
The success of this course 'has 'open-
ed the way to similar community pro-
jects throughourthe Country. Not on-
ly did rural youth make use of the
Agricultural Centre, but their friends
and parents used the reconverted R.
C.A.F. buildings for a variety of
meetings, ranging from discussions
on soil conservation to problems of
family living on farms:, Another
Coabh has taken Helen's place at the
Community -Oentrethie-year because
Helen is back at University to find
more and better ways of 'helping
rural people in their daily living:
This wholesome farmer's daughter
will soon be back again among the
people of rural Ontario. She is com-
ing back because rural Ontario needs
People of her calibre. People who
are willing to answer the cry raised
• by a group of farm' women over fifty
years ago, "Help us to help ourselves
to a better way of life for the Sake
of Home and Country."

acters. There was the lady with
"uppity" notions who was so familiar
with the British Royal fapaily that
she called Princess May of Teck (lat-
er Queen Mary) simply "Teck," There
was the old Irishman who confided
'to a. friend that "be could forgive ev-
ery one of his inimies except the man

a group of adolescent ruffians, bad

There was the smart pioneer wo-
man, who, in a year of great potato
shortage, carefully removed the eyes
and preserved them, in sand, cooked
and "aerved the balance 'of the pota-
toes in the usual way, and yet had a
good crop from the eyes the follok-
in,g year—just another case of -eating
Your potatoes and having them, too.
But it,. was when trouble 'and sick-
ness cadre ;to a bousehold that the
people of the section really showed
the stuff 'they were made of. No fam-
ily had to find seven or eight dollars
a day for a trained nurse itatbeee was
a patient who had to be "sat up with."
The neighbors took turns at this task
and continued it for as long as it was
necessary. There wasthe terribly
obese. lady, about 300 pounds, who
had a. paralytic stroke and had. to be
turned every once in a while. One of
the neighbors, who was of a mechani-
cal turn of mind, considered erecting
a block and tack -le -to deal With the
problem, but abandoned it for the
more direct method of climbing up on
the bed with a foot on each •sidte of
the patient, locked hiS hands. under-
neath her, and heaved for all that he
was wortb:
There was the cild woodsman whe
Would leave a few crumbs: in bis
beard after eating .his lunch on a win-
ter's day, and then: sit immobile while
the chickadees approached and pick-
ed them out.
As the years pass the cost of oper-
ating tbe school steadily . mounts. In
1890 the total. expenditures, teacher's
salary -and all, 'were $462,61. By 1925
the expenditures had risen to
$1,479.27.And in 1926 the school
wood cost $93.90. In 1927 a new fence
was put around the school 'yard at a
cost of .$106,50. In 1930 a secand-
han,d piano was b -ought from David
Gemmell for $25.00. -
-
Times are getting bard—the great
.depredisian: is well on its Way—and
prices are coming down, In 1931 the
school wood cost $4.3.20: .and
were able to buy a stove from The
T. Eatob Co. for $23.00. But tly 1932
-there simp1 had id be Saffie•Pai
work done on the sebool. The ea-
