BUY PROPERTY FOR SCHOOL DEPTS. Purchase Home and Land to House Agriculture and Farm Mechanics (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 23.--The Board of Education has purchased the home and property of Alex Wilson on Dunlop street, with the purpose of converting the residence into a building to house the agriculture and farm mechanics' department of the Whitby High School. It was thought advantageous to make the purchase rather than to erect a new building on the present school grounds, because the acquisition of additional land will give the high school property frontage on Dun- lop street. The deal was complet: ed yesterday by Mr. Albert Jack- son, local real estate agent. OLDEST MAN KEEPS BUSY ~ Undisturbéd by the' interest taken in him since he has been announced as the oldest person in the world, Joseph continues his duties as gar- dener of the Terra Sanda' Church in the town of Limassol, in the island of Cyprus, Although 132 years old the negro daily attends to his duties among the flowers, He was recently examined by two physicians, who de- slared that organically he was in sound health and has the prospect of living at least 10 more years. His sight is impaired by a double cata- ract, he has only three teeth and can hear only when the speaker talks diréctly into his ear. Among the interesting incidents that he can recall since his birth in 1796 are the rise, reign and ruin of Napoleon, which took: place before Joseph was 21 years old. --r---- US. AIR TOURISTS FACE QUIZ American tourists who wish to take their planes to Europe have a probs lem, according to French aeronauti- cal officials. In each country an amas teur flier from the United States would be compelled to answer many questions, take out a special license and deposit a high tariff duty on the machine while he was in each coun- try, Such arrangements would have to be made in advance with each country over which he flew. Ameri- can commercial planes, operated by American pilots for hire could not be operated in Europe, it is believed, unless special arrangements were made with interested governments, Many European countries have over~ come this situation by joining the International Aerial Navigation Con- vention, of which the United States is not a member, ITALY MAKES MANY FILMS In its campaign of education through motion pictures Italy made and distributed 5895 copies of films both at home and abroad last year, Although the traveling motion pic- ture propaganda service was not ap- proved until June, 1927, by October more than 2400 exhibitions had been given in nearly 1,000 communes.

Agricultural films on central and southern Italy will be completed this year. following the filming of rural educational films of many kinds last year, A series of 24 releases illustrating deep-sea life has been made, and 51 military, na- val and aviation films were prepared, More than 200 films covering im- portant meetings, celebrations and Fascist Party gatherings are among the "news" films, CIRCUS DAY WAS BiG EVENT FOR YOUNG AND 01D Good Programs in Afternoon and Evening With Thrills on Every Hand The eireus! The circus! The throb of the drums, And the .blare of the horns, as the Band-Wagon comes; The clash 2nd the clang of the cym- bals that beat, : As the glittering pageant winds down the long street. ~----James Whitcomb Riley. Yesterday was circus day. Hot- dogs and pink lemonade were sold to hundreds of circus patrons, who |thronzed the grounds and massive fents to do honor to the king of fun, the "Circus". Stores, shops and offices were closed to enable everyone to go to the circus, Time has taken away only a smal] part of the interest shown for .the circus. For weeks ahead, the youngsters look forward to this day of days when they will spena all morning watching the long trains unload their precious bag- gage of animals and "props", fol- low the wagons as they proceed to the exhibition grounds, and eit fas- cinated as the skilled hands erect the "big-top". It is a child's heay- en. Incidentally with the coming of the circus this year, school closed for the summer. Youngsters were free to attend the circus and con- sume as much candy and pop corn as they could hold, not caring about the after effects. as long ag they were satisfied that they do justice to the big event.
