Last Friday as' some of you know was •the first of four concerts at the school. There Were quite a few people there, but, compared to the talent, there were very few. Some of you might think .that the artists were same students from our school or others, or some people who were in a company trying to make some .money, but they are definitely not. These artists are sponsored by the Department of Education and are some of the very best artists in Canada. Some of you may expect that I will write a long story about the Last concert, but I can't. Words fail "me to describe it. If you are interested in 'this concert and the next ones, ask someone who saw the last one, or, better still, why not come out and see the next one? It is on November 3, and tickets may 'be obtained from any- one in the school. There is usually some joful news in this column and this week there still is. This news is exams.

Comxpittees were. alippinte,d "for the comiing year.'' Fourteen auxil- iaries responded to the roll 'call with most encouraging reports 4of their activities, also there ie•splen- did work ;being carried an by. the younger groups. - The afternoon session at 1.30 was opened; by a worship service, con- ducted by Mrs. Keys and Mrs. Stephenson, al Varna. Mrs. Mills, of Walton, spoke on Christian Stewardship and introduced and gave a synopsis of the book, "Civ- ilization On Trial." Miss Bishop, !representative of the Dominion Board, led a discus- sion period. She stated that just about one-fifth of the ladies of the United Church are W.M.S. mem- bers, She urged that thin be taken seriously. Advance is our watch- word this year and we must ad- vance with real force and purpose. The speaker outlined the activities of the C.C.R.A. There is still a great need in Europe as many are without the bare necessities. Three hundred and fifty-four tons of cloth- ing has been sent through Church World Service, She also outlined the 'very worthy contribution being made through the United Church immigration port worker in Hali- fax. Rev, Reba Hern introduced the guest speaker, Miss Scrimgeur, of Trinidad, who in a very stirring address, told of her work in Trini- dad among teenage girls. The speaker said: "The missionary tries to make Christ known to these young people and many of them meet with a real Christian experience. Then some of them come to Canada for further educa- tion. What do they find? What sort of influence do they come un- der? Now what are these young people going to do? Who are they going to follow? We in Canada must take Christianity into our business if we would have the in- fluence we should have over these delightful little things that come three times a year (which is three times too often for some people). Anyway, they come this year on Nov. 24 to Dec. 1. I imagine that most of the students have already started to study, but if you haven't, why hurry — wait for another month. That will still leave you two or three days: Why that's plenty of time to learn three months' work. (If you do this, don't blame the teachers for your failure next June). There have been many odd things happening at S.H,S., but next week we are going to have one of the oddest. Since there have been a lot of plowing match- es around these last few days, we thought we would have one. There is a field next to the school that belongs to the school, which should be plowed this autumn, so we de- cided to challenge other High Schools to a plowing match. So far Palmerston and Clinton. haxe ac- cepted the challenge, and one more school is expected to challenge to make four entries. The date of the match is not known yet, but is hoped to be on a Wednesday, in the near future. Lately S.H.S. has •become more musical than in other years. Last year a bugle band was started, with eight buglers and four drum- mers. Now there is going to be an addition to this. Some more bugles have been ordered, and I expect new drums have been or- dered also. Besides the bugle band, there has been a lot of talk about start- ing an orchestra at school. (As Mr.\ Plumsteel says, it will be a 50 -piece orchestra with 45 pianos), Even though there are a lot who play the piano, there is still a lot of others who play different instru- ments, 'and if this idea is, carrie41 through, a good orchestra could be obtained from the school.

TOWN — WHISPERINGS BY LEE -NEE. • IN THE REALM OF SPORT Despite the fact that ru,gby and hockey are hitting the headlines Q'hese days, softball is still having Sts fling. This past summer, in this area, the various Legion groups formed a new softball league. The first game for the zone 'champion- ship was,played at Goderich, when that entry defeated Exeter 12-11. This series is a best -of -three affair. We hope that when next season rolls around, this new zone soft- ball organization will have a much better season. By this time the hockey season of 1945-50 is well on the way. It is expected to be another banner year. It is hard to predict what any team will do, or where it may stand, at the first part of the sche- dule, as each one will have its ups and downs until each has played a few games and the players get down to team work. It is expect- ed; since various teams have strengthened, that the race in all leagues will be close. Whisper- ings will try to keep you informed of some standings which will in- clude Wednesday night results, as far as possible. National League Standings W L T Pts.

There is an advisory coun- cil representing all organizations; also a community council. The building is open to all service clubs, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, in- stitutes and societies. Kincardine Hockey Club are al- ready getting financially set for thecoming co ng season. Recently they received $100.00 as a result of a fowl bingo. This little item gives us an idea and would like to pass it on to sport fans of Seaforth. It costs money to prepare for any season, :before gate receipts start coming in, and we believe it would help to offset this expense by hold- ing a few entertainments, such as bingo, or .perhaps stag euchres. If other towns are far-sighted en- ough to gain financial aid by these means before the season, we can't see any reason why Seaforth couldn't do this too. What about this, hockey organizers? . . . and so we would advise everyone using firearms, etc., while on their 'hunting expeditions, to follow the following Ten Command- ments for Hunting Safety: 1.

Congreve, the poet, in 4; letter to a Mead. •so neo4° hat; said that the monkey is a caries- ture of man, and. that, it 4s eat,- dense that the Creator had. a amiss of humor. Congreve,- however,.' didn't see the joke, for he =was mortified at the resemblance in form and actions between himself and the monkey. Darwin, on the other hand, was not in the least mortified at the likeness; he re- garded it as evidence of man's simian ancestry in the evplution of species. Scientists have gone to a lot of trouble to prove that theory. They have dug up skulls and jaw -bones' which they believe belonged to semi -human creatures that existed a million or 'more years ago. They trace the ancestry of :the horse back to a three -toed little animal, the hipporodent, a fossil of which is in the Museum of Natural His- tory in New York. But the weak- ness of the theory, so far as the horse is concerned, is in the fact that the horse -rat has not surviv- ed its supposed offspring. The monkey, however, from which we are supposed to have evolved, is still in existence And flourishing as widely as ever and produces noth- ing but monkeys. The question of the origin or emergence of man in this planet is still a profound mystery, despite all the theories and researches of biologists. Whether he evolved from some lower animal or ap- peared suddenly in full stature, as the Scripture tells us, man was from the beginning a new creation, distinct and separate from the rest of the animal kingdom, Scientists themselves are puzzled as to how the infinitely complex mechanism of the human brain and the human hand could be developed by physi- cs' processes. Despite the physi- cal similarity, there is a tremen- dous mental gap between the high- est type of monkey and the lowest type of man. Congreve was doubt- less impressed by the human -like actions of the monkey, but those were only natural since the forms are similar. The beaver, which is far removed in physical form from that of man, is far more intelligent than the ape. While watching some beavers in a zoo recently, I was impressed not only with their mechanical and architectural abil- ity, but also with their actions, one toward another, which struck me as very human. The difference between the in- telligence of man and the lower animals is the unbridgable gulf be- tween a limited and fixed instinct and an unlimited capacity for adaptation and invention. But there is a still greater difference in the spiritual consciousness of mankind. Man is not only conscious of him- self and of the present, he "looks behind and before." He surveys the world about him with a sense of beauty and wonder. He looks up at the starry firmament and hit mind penetrates beyond it in- to infinity. He looks into 'himself; emotions with a sense of right and w examines his on thoughts and emotions with a sense of right and wrong,' of will -power and responsi- bility. He can aspire to the heights of spiritual excellence or descend to the depths of moral and physical degradation. Above all, man from bis very be- ginning on this planet had a con- sciousness sof an intelligence and power higher and greater than his own, to which he owed reverence and obedience. He realized that he was but a sojourner in this reg- ion of time and that his little life was rounded with eternity. This consciousness of his divine rela- tionship and immortal destiny has been the source of man's highest aspirations and development. And wherever men or nations have cast aside or become indifferent to re- ligion they have cut themselves off from the very source of all real intelligence and power. They may for a time improve themselves physically and socially, but in gaining the world they lose their own souls. They become entirely a .'mal and a cleverer type of mon- key. It may well be that God made the monkey in order to rouse us to "mortifying reflections."
