It's odd how the announcement of exams affects the students and teachers; the stud- ents groan inwardly, and outward - Sy too, for that matter, and settle (down for a long, hard grind. How- ever, the teachers grimly pile on the homework, which only seems to make the situation worse all. around, because a certain amount of animosity somehow appears when the students, are unable to do their homework properly be- cause of its sheer amount, and are asked) to do extra work as pundsh- ment. Then, too, the added home- work takes up class time which must, sooner or later, be given to taking up new work. Extra class- es are taken, thus cutting dower the amount of time the student has to do his homework. It seems to be a vicious circle—an endless chain,.with the student,as the link 'from which the load hangs. Every year. this near -nightmare ends in June in a frenzied race againet time. , Yee, the courses are always cemtpletedt in time somehow, hat too`, many' of the students suffer from the grind. It certainly isn't our place to suggest methods of overcoming this; we must leave that to the edaucatore,but surely to goodness there must be some way of com- prehensively covering •a course with time for review without the monotonous, time-consuming repe- titions of recent classes that are so much in vogue in today's sec- ondary school! The basketball season gave an- other dying gasp Wednesday night at the school when two teams from Stratford Normal School played the local teams. Due to pressure of homework, we were unable to attend these' games• and so have only, the scores—the local high school girls' team won 21-17, and the Normal School bays won 44-38, Any further details may be had from the players. Wednesday afternoon an assem- bly was held, at which two motion, pictures were shown. One was a travelogue of Banff, and the other 'was a physical education film deal- ing with tumbling. Tuesday morning will be remem- bered by Bert Shaw for a long time—twelve weeks at least- You see. while engaged in •a snappy game of leapfrog with F. A. Dob- son, be managed to break his right wrist in several places-, and is now sporting a large plaster cast. A simple aeeident, you may say. Well; possibly, but perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye. For knowing Bert, it seems strange that his right wrist shouid' 'be the fractured one—it ie impassible for him to write with the cast on. What a blow that must be to him! Then one must consider the fact that leapfrog is hardly a danger- ous game, and playing it with someone with whom he always was 'on the best of terms', would be indeed safe- It really is 'strange how accidents happen, .sometimes, isn't it?

The group went to the movies first, at,the school's enspenee (ah, but that would) be wonderful!) an afterwards held a party at.. the school. By all reports it wiz} a very pleasant evening, but the most interesting highlight of it is the fact that Stan Dorrance, our'0local Svengali, has a new heart throb. We don't mean to pi'y', of course, •but he did take her home from the party, and brother, for Stan that's a big step in the right di- rection! 'Keep up the good work, lad. * ,* Last week in this column we noted with foreboding that there might be trouble when . certain xyrzxyz comments contained _there- in should be read by the parties concerned. We are happy to re- port that beyond a definite chill in the air, little -happened. By devious methods, we happened to learn that we are generally considered' to be -too hard en the feminine population of S.H.S.—in this col- umn, that is. We beg to differ. Not only are girls supplied with naturally vituperative tongues, but they- also` come with built-in claws in most cases, sometimes called fingernails, and show no scruples, in using them. Drawing male blood is getting to be their fav- orite pastime. As if that weren't enough, now they're teaching these witches to handle guns—yes, tar- get practice. It's a strange coinci- dence that on one of the Bret days the girls were shooting, a large piece of plaster fell from the hall ceiling, directly under the shoot- ing gallery - but it missed me!

Until 1941, .practically no hybrid' husking corn was grown in Ontario east of. Toronto except - on an ex- perimental basis. But in that year, through experiment's, demonstra- tions emonstrations and Lectures, Dominion Ex- perimental Farm scientists and Provincial agricultural representa- tives spread the story of the hy- brid corn conquest of southwest - tern Ontario throughout that area. On the basis of enthusiasm shown and intentions expressed; one scientist in 1947 forecast that 600 acres might go into hybrid corn in the Ottawa Valley in 1948. The total turned out to be 3,500 acres. And in the area lying east of Toronto, new plantings of hy- brid corn in 1948 amounted to an- other 3,000 acres. The diversion of more than 6,000 acres in one year into an unfamil- iar crop indicated confidence on the farmer's part not only in the crop but a1,3o in the advice he got from the Experimental Farms Ser- vice. The work of the Ontario Corn Committee. a group of Dominion and provincial officials, did much to stimulate the startling success achieved br hybrid cora in Canada, Hybrid corn was first grown commercially as a husking crop in Canada in 1938. It was introduced in Ontario's leading corn counties " ti ail th+a • 'ab .i ,, • Never forget to . fTat tine �;iabpl t All -bottled ..oa: packaagod dxu.$e colli; in .Canada ,are a elpirateln labeled, as to contents) .and znasimttm dosage.

Ventilate For Health Frosty February nights offer a stir ng temptation to leave the winnows battened down and the heat on full blast during the night. But hot, stuffy bedroom may help induce colds and will almost cer- tainly make sleep difficult and un- comfortable.

There's no need for the shadow of venereal disease to threaten a child's start in life. Premarital blood tests will reveal symptoms of gonorrhea br syphilis and, pro- tect your child from infection. If there is any doubt, have your doc- tor make a check. Remember, V. D. can be prevented and it can be cured. Relaxation and Health Everyone needs some •form of recreation to refresh mind and body when the routine chores 'bf the day are finished. Recreation may mean anything from amateur wrestling to playing chess, so long as it is interesting and relaxing. There is some form of recreation to meet the needs of every Cana- dian. Where do you fit in Canada's recreation program? Daytime Dozing Dozing in the daytime may be a pleasant form of relaxation, but the boss is apt to object. Every worker needs an adequate amount of sleep to be .alert on the job. Lack of sleep is offer? the eauof indus- trial accidents. You can't work all day and play all night. Remem- ber, health is earning power, and - sleep combats fatigue. Drink • Up, Please The Ancient Mariner was in trouble because there was "water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink." But many Canadians who need only turn a tap do not get enough water to keep their bodies functioning properly. Medi- cal men say a person needs sev- eral glasses of water each day. Water is important as a lubricant to keep the bodily machine in action. —Lambton, Essex, Elgin and Kent —and in five years' time had over- run almost 95 per cent of Canada's corn acreage in this area. ,which averages 250.000 acres annually. Today less than five per cent is seeded in these counties to the old or open -pollinated varieties. Although test plots of hybrid show yields as high as 95 bushels per acre, the scientists are cau- tious and .suggest an average yield of 40 to 60 bushels is ,more like- ly. Trouble in obtaining a. good standquickly cuts down the poten- tial yield.
