Pupil Attacks Teacher Miss Bernice Allen, aged 23, teach- er in Fever&ham public school, is in the CoUingwood Hosipital in a sei'ious condition, due to a beating she r^- oeived at the hands of a 14-year-oId boy, one of her pupils. Miss Allen suffered a fractured lower jaw, a broken nose, two large gashes on her face and a gash on the back of her head. It is expected she will be a patient in the hospital for at least six weeks. Her condition has not allowed police to question her as to her version of the assault. The boy has been taken to Owen Sound jail and is charged with assault occasion- ing bodily hai'm. The assault is stated to have occur- red at 4.30 p.m. on Friday as Miss .Allen, whose home is near Glen Huron, left the school. The other pupils had gone home and there were no eye-witnesses. Police do not know what weapon was used in the assault, but it is surmiseti that it was a stone. Apparently he became strick- en by remorse at what he had done, for he assisted her to a nearby store to receive aid. Police have been un- able to And out the reason for the boy's action. Mrs. Roszell Conn has assumed the teaching duties in the Feversham school. Card of Thanks The family of the late Mrs. Chris- tena Rndley wish to express their sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their visits, flowers and kind inquiries, also for the thoughtfulness shown at the time of the death of their dear mother. ;\ /_ > J Angermunde IN these decisive months all Canada's effort is ooncentrated on one great objective â€" the attack that is to destroy the Nazi menace and all that it represents. Years of work have gone into its preparation. The beat of our youug men are staking their lives on its success. ^ ^ 4^ We in Canada must support and strengthefi this attack with all our effort. This one pur- pose must command our work, our miud^ and our hearts. # ^ ^ We must not permit any scramble for private gain or iudirldual aelfiah ends, to distract us from our main ta«k. If we concentrate on seeking, individually or jomtly, higher priceii. higher pay or higher profits, we shall be divert- ing our attention from the main task at this critical time. We shall also endanger the sta- bility of prices which we in Canada have achieved after great difficultiesâ€" a stability that is essential to efficiencv and fairness in war, and to peacetime prosperity afterward. ^ ^ ^ Our young men are fighting for a Canada and a world in which all men can hare faith, hope and security. Each of them wants to come back to a job â€" or a farmâ€" with a future. W« at home must keep secure for them a strong and stable foundation on which alone a post- war period of promise and achievement can be built.

Society Makes Plans To Beautify Village I A joint meeting of the directors, the Premium and I*roject Committees was held Monday evening, at tjlie home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Keys. The main pui-pose of the meeting was to plan for the expenditure of $25 granted by the Village Council, together with $15 already set aside, for the beautifying of the town. A report was given by Mr. F. Thurston who, with Mr. Keys, had been ap- pointed to approach the Council re- garding co-operation. Two memibers of the village Council, Messrs. John Brackenbury and Alex. Henderson, were present and expressed tiheir approval of the donation and their readiness to co-operate in the work contemplated. The consensus of op- inion of the Society members present was that trees s-hould be planted along some of the treeless streets, particularly those in the North quar- ter of the village. The "oval" too, was mentioned and in all probability that unique spot in the centre of the town, so conspicuous to tourists and others passing through, will receive some appropriate horticultural rr- novation. In view of the plans for futurs work, particularly the holding of regular public meetings, it was nec- essary to secure a hall which woul 1 not entail too great an expense, a.s the finances of the Society are some- what straitened at the present time. It was decided to approach the High School Board to see whether the auditorium could be engaged. An interesting report by the presi- dent. Mr. F. B. Keys, delegate to the annual meeting of the Ontario Horti- cultural Association, was subrrit*-"--'. The general work, aims and varied nature of the work done by tli-i Pro- vincial body, with specific aids to local societies, was .reviewed. This report, which should prove of con- siderable general interest, will be more fully dealt with in -oui' next issue-.
