Presented With Gifts Principal C. R. Wright Resigns From School Principal C. R. Wright of the Flesh- erton High School tendered his res- signation to the Board at the regular meeting on Monday night to take ef- fect at the end of the present school year in June. The Board regretted the loss of Mr. Wright as he has prov- ed to be an e.xcellent teacher and his work as principal has been outstand- ing during the four years he has been on the staff. General regret has been expressed at Mr. Wright's de- cision to resign, but he stated that his aim was to enter university this fall and specialize in French and Spanish. The best of harmony had prevailed between himself and the Board during his four years in Flesh- erton and they will always be hap- py ones in his memory. Following the acceptance of Mr. Wright's resignation, the Board of- fei'ed the position to .Mr. Howard Eu- bank, who accepted the appointment. Mr. Eubank has been the assistant in the school for the past five years and has given excellent service as teacher of science. He was also instructor for physical training in the school and coached the young people in their field sports and games. Miss Lam-a Pallett. mathematics teacher, and Miss Betty McClean, clas- sics teacher, were re-engaged by the Bnard at an advance in salary. The Board will now have to engage anoth- er teacher who will teach French and the other subject.s taken by Mr. Wright.

Tourists from the LTnited States last year purchased $2,000,000 worth of! gasoline in Ontario, according to De. puty Minister of Highways R. M. Smith. Mr. Smith estimated also that more than 2,600,000 United States cars entered the Province carrying at least 0.000.000 passengers. The volume of 1936 tourist traffic and the amount of money which it brought to the Province were argu- ments used by the Deputy Minister to support his contention that the highways of Ontario required the con- tinual attention of the Government if the tourist business from the United States was to be retained and increas- ed.

The unfortunate nart of the situation is that the smaller places are gradually losing their papers altogether, and a village or town without a local paper lacks something of real importance t<> its pi'ogress. The country weekly'-, sources of revenue have increased lit- tle if any in the past 25 years, but the cost of everything used â€" paper, ink, machinery â€" has considerably ;id- cpriced along with the general cost of- living, making it increasingly dif- icult to carry on in the smaller cen- tres.
