The lucky teachers who made the final selections were Miss Lyle, Mr. Hendren, Mr. Dies and Mr. Broadbent, The Inter - School Christian Fellowship Club has had several meetings and is confident of a successful year. Registration for the French Club has been so large that it had to be divided into. two clubs. The junior club will cover Grade 11 and the senior club will handle grades 12 and 13.

KHRUSHCHEV OF THE UK: RAINE, a biography, by Vie- tor Alexandrov. The author is a journalist of some note, and considered to be la specialist on the Eastern bloc.

But the province Friday dropped its similar action against the attorney - general of Canada,| Justice Minister Fulton. Some doubt was cast during prelimi- nary moves before the Ex- chequer Court last April that Mr. Fulton could be sued. The Newfoundland government Friday withdrew its original ac- tion and filed another statement| of claim against the federal gov- ernment only. The new statement, virtually| the same as the original except| for its omission of the claim] against the minister, said that on| or about March 8 and again| March 15 the Newfoundland at- torney-general decided, on advice supplied by the commanding of- ficer of the RCMP Newfoundland | division, than an "emergency| then existed within the province| requiring additignal members of | the force to assist in dealing with| such emergency." | Under an agreement between] the Newfoundland and federal governments, the RCMP acts as a provincial force in the prov-| ince. The Newfoundland govern-| ment contends that it had a right| to ask for additional police under| the circumstances and that the| federal government was obliged] to supply it. | The statement says that both| requests were refused by the fed-| eral government and that this constituted a breach of the agree-| ment. It claims the province suf-| fered damages by having to hire men to provide a police service] to deal with the emergency. UNIQUE TREE PETERBOROUGH, Ont.

Not only that, he likes what he sees. During those golden days you can hear the sheik's shriek from John O'Groats to Land's End. The brilliant days and nights did it. Britain had grown ac- customed to decades of soggy summers when it either rained every day or threatened to. Men forgot what the female figure looked like in daylight. Years of wet weather had kept the British female shrouded in rain - coats, or hidden beneath umbrellas, On the rare occasions when the sun did shine, it was so chilly that the girls seldom went outside their drafty homes in anything less than bulky tweeds. ' But all that went with this It caught the men off stride. Back last May when the per- fect weather began, they shook their heads and muttered: "We'll pay for this. June will be horrible." When June turned out to be better than May,. they grumb- "Just walt till July. We'll be ooded." But as July proved better than June, a young man was heard whistling at a shapely girl toddling down Piccadilly in -a thin cotton dress. The revolution had come. So many wolves appeared in Trafalgar Square one sapphire- like evening in August that it sounded like a hungry night on the Siberian Steppes. It was too much. A man wrote a letter to The Times, expressing surprise in "the transformation in our wo- manhood, both young and not so young." Another man joined the cor- respondence and said: "Never in history have the woman of this country turned out in such elegantly cut clothes." Still another penned the same thoughts and sense and logic of the British male asked: "Is it the sun?" Brother, it was and it is. The girls came out in chic hair styles, colorful cotton dresses with billowing skirts and the hemline hovering at the knees. y with the good | TORONTO (CP)--Official fore-[today.
