>.iAay, February 7, 1945 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE ,J*!- fHEASTONISHER (Official paper of the Pupils of Flesherton High School) £MMA MEAUS, Editor GKADE IX Little Eleanor laughed and laughed becau.«e Bob Turney took tht> goim shorUKc so hard, he simply had to chfw his pen. We are living in hopes of Jack Milne and Joan Turney getting to classes in time. Bob Long will soon be out of ink if Ruth Stewart doesn't buy any. Barry Thur.slon's ambition: To go into partnership with hifi father. First thing we know Don Banks and Fran Taylor will have a school rink if they keep on shovelling. Harvey Atkinson couldn't p:et aloii<i: without Irene Phillips, es.p€c- ially in French class. If Eric Campbell doesn't soon start to keep his desk tidy, his knees, are going to be bruised with books fall- ing on them. GRDADE X LOST â€" Grade X Mathematics.

Jim â€" "Yes, mother gave me some liniment and it made me smart." To the couple seen under the street light on Shady Ave. las.t night; please say good>*(ye on the side- walk and don't block traffic on tt^ road. GRADE XI Joyce Genoe has lost her glass- es again. Won't somebody please help her keep track of them. Don- McLeod is still carrying all his books to every class. He'll soon be round shouldered. Janet and Ted have a lot of class-' es together. I bet they are pleased. Verna has a habit of sticking out her tongue when asked a hard ques- tion. How can we prevent if Watch out Don! The habit of for- getting your books may develop in- to an excuse to .see a certain teacher. Born â€" On Wednesday, January 23 1929, to Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hass, a daUgfhter, Audrey Janette {-weigJht 115 elbs.) must set a good example for your juniors in studios, sports, etc., snow- ing toward them the right blending of aloofness, deference, and genial-' ity. If you push them, you do it with your little finger, not a bulldoz- er; if you pull them, use a thread, not a chain. In short vou must be tho epitome of cleverness, industry, athletics, subtey and tact. GRADE XII Marie, our little blonde from Eu- genia comes second in the class. She gets enough letters for the whole class. Jean Cox hails from Feversham. She studies and shows up the rest of us in Intensive French. Margaret Smith has the furthest to come, but seldom misses a day. Hazel Fenwick hasn't any chance with our Frankic, although she's in- terested but I mean definitely, since Margaret sits closer. Bob Avis is our Frank Sinatra. No wonder Miss Beatty has to dis- cipline Marie Phillips and our blonde in French period. Burton Russell tries to attract the weaker sex by coming in late every morning, or should it be afternoon. GRADE XIII OAiSE HISTORY We are the senior students of F. H.S. and believe us, it isn't easy. First of all you must be sufficiently intelligent to struggle that far, with- out getting discouraged and giving up half-way. You mu«t plough through all the subjects assigned, no matter how inane they may seem to you, making the best of things. You must be something of a diplo- mat to be able to handle teachers and junior students without their re- alizing they are being handled. You Shall we take a brief glance at the histories 6f form V, the wonder-class which fulfills all these requirements? We have Angus McVicar of Price- ville, our able school president, who runs things. His blue eyes and hap- py smile are beloved and seniors alike, and his speed and skill in chemistry experiments are the de- light and wonder of his class mates. Angus wants to go to University. Next in order as we sit in our form room, comes Vernon Atkinson of Rock Mills, our form representa- tive on the student council. He's the lad who makes the girls swoon when he performs on the parallel bars â€" oh that physique!! It took Vernon to explain the mechanics of the steam engine of James Watt to the rather dense females in History class. He's determined to farm. Margaret Turney is our claim to glamour, and her "harlequin" spec- tacles have us green with envy. Maggie makes her most effective entrances ten minutes afiter classes begin, but we love her. Genius crops out in Geometry, where sJie can solve problems by the most original methods â€" it's absolutely fascinating. Frances Buchanan of Vandeleur, our black-haired damsel, looks "del- ish" in a sitriped sweater she knit herself, and with a sparkling air- force pin on her shoulder. Frannie is one of our brilliant math students, and should go on to greater glory in them. That witty tongue keeps us all alert ( ? ) She'll make a good math student at college. Marjorie Brackentoury is our pe- tite-redhead, bu/t a sunnier temper- ment would be hard to find. Marj. is a responsible little lady, believing that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing weil. As one of her teachers remarked, "She has a head on her shoulders," a necessary quality to make a good nurse. Genevieve Milne, our brown-eyed blonde, is firmly convinced that chocolate sundaes are better than a figure. Genny shines (?) in anything but maths, especially composition & P.T. and has a weakness for concoct- Local and fersou<ii Mr. and Mrs. Ken Betts and Janet /isited with friends at Gait Sunday. Staif Sergt. E. Haes of Toronto >pent the week end with his family. Miss Tena Hutchinson of Corbet- ton was home over the week end. Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Morgan left â- .;is.t Wednesday for Calgary, Alta. Mrs. Wallace Hamilton is spending a couple of weeks with relatives at Guelph. Mrs. John Adams and daughter, Marjorie. of Dryden ^are visiting her mother, Mrs. McFadden. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Thomson left recently to spend the winter with friends at Angola, N.Y. \ Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Henderson aiu) son spent Sunday with relatives at Mt. Foresit.

McfTavish for everal days last week. Miss Laura Pedlar is spending a iouple of weeks' with her sisiter, Mrs. -iC«-ne Fawcett, at Aldershot. Mr. and Mrs. Lome Fawcett of Al- Jershot spent the week end with the •atter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Pedlar. Mrs. Norman Stoddaat visited' in Toronto over the week end with her hu'slband of the R.C.A.F., Camp Borden. Messrs. Ken Betts, Reg. Boyd, C. r. Kennedy and H. Milligan were in Jrangeville on Monday attending a url'ng bon&piel. Congratulations are extended to Mr. D. McTavish who observed- hi.' 82nd' birthday on Tuesday. Mrs. C. S. McTavish entertained members of the family to dinner in his honor. Mrs. C. Hindle has returned to her home at Saugeen ct. from Mark- ing 'bright coloured, poisonous gases '•'^'e hospital after an operation in the laboratory. Music is import anit. She is almost convinced there is a place for her in- journalism. Art Proctor, from Eugenia, is the Lothario behind the mustache. Art excels in P.T. and bad puns. Satur- day finds him out with a gun and sometimes he even brings home a rabbiit. But what does he dreaim about in those sipare periods? Own- ing a big farm? Jane Karstedt, of Priceville, our curly-head, is las/t in this file, but certainlv not the least. Peaches i? our brain-child in mathsâ€" the marks the girl gets!! And she explained il all in an essay entitled "Getting Homework Done". Thanks pal. She oxnresses a wish to become a chem- ist. There you have us Grade XIII, with our faults, (though they he few) and or virtues (though they bf inevident); weighed down under at least seven pounds of homework ev- orv nio-ht, hagirard with our respon- sibilities, hounded by teachers and iuninrs. (but we love them all), yet valiant and unafraid, our faces bravely turned toward the June ex- ams and the future beyond. â€" â- r.iUiirL of Genevieve Milne vhich we hope, will improve her lealth. Mr. Dick Stewart of Toronto spent ihe week end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart. Dick receiv- ed his discharge last week, after •our years with .he R.C.A.F. He also received' hiS' rejection froan the Army.

Haphazard feeding and carelessness in mwrketing at proper weights 'are the direct causes- of many hogs grading too low ti qualify for the quality premium. This weakness in hog production is explained by A. W. Peterson, Chief, Live Stock and Poultry Pro- duction Services, Dominion Depart- metn of Agirteulturo. Contrasting this too prevalent carelessness in Canadian hog production with the constant vigilance of Canada's graxt- est competitor, Denmark, Mr. Peter- son says that a hog breeder in Den- mark, or Sweden pays strict atten- tion to the records of his breeding Bitock. Thesie reoordls are usually hung over each pen. On them are the particulars of results obtained by the progeny. The breeder will discuss these results with all the animation of a Canadian dairyman describing the quantity and test of his milk production. The Danish hog producer considers marketing at pr^iper weights as a matter of course, but he gives great concern to economy of feed consump- tion and high grade carcass output. "Too many hog producers in Canada fail to cash in on the benefits of a properly balanced feed mixture," â- ays Mr. Peterson, "even though formulas for recommended mixtures may be obtained from the Dominion of Provincial Departments of Agri- culture." OX STAGES COME-BACK Ontario is being invaded, quietly and unoibtrusively, by an animal known as the gray fox. Before the coming of the white man, the gray fox was a common a'nimal in south- ern Ontario. This we know from the bones found in pre-historic Indian vil- lage sit6.s. Then it disappeared from our area. Its range shrank south- ward, for i<easons unknown. It h^^s ..en absent from early historic times intil rt-cently. Twenty years ago the g^^ay fox lopulation began spread northward igain. The Royal Ontario Museum received its fii-st specimen in 1942. Subsequently others were secured and the front of the invasion is now 'mown to be from the St, Lawrence to Lake-of-the-Woods. Only time will tell how successful this animal will be in re-establishing itself in Ontario. The coat of the gray fox has a "salt and pepper" colour effect and the tip of its. tail is black. These feature* will distinguish it from the red fox in any of its phases. The Museum will appreciate iwfomnatian which will all to our knowledge of the gray fox in Ontario. Look at the brighter side o(f life, brother â€" « jammed street car is warmer. It is clear now why so many old timers lived to such a ripe old age. They didnt have 34 inches at snow to ahoTel off in Jsmuaiy. 55.24 1.65 4.75 Most People Honest In spite of the fact that there arc scores of that ilk who would not trust their neigh-bor or their employees with any sum of money, an episode which occurred during the Christmas rush proves that this mistrust <and misgiving is without foundation and that for the most part man is an honest creature. It appears that a farmer's wife in an outlying section gave the rural mail courier an envelope containing a ten dollar bill and addressed to a Toronto department store with in- structions to purchase a money order at the pst office to cover a list of goods enclosed in the envelope . In the rush of business the missive be- came mixed with other out-going mail and when advised of the cir- cumstance the farm woman gave up her tenspot as lost. However, S'he was pleasantly surprised a few days later on receiving, not only the ar- ticles contained in the order, but her proper change as well. Whether those who handled the un- soaled envelope with the cash in plain view, were imbued with the Christ- mas spirit and failed to fall to the temptation with the usual 'get thee behind me, Satan,' or not cannot be . . • v i. ascertained but the episode illustrates I to England on only, two engines, but that Dicgenes with his lighted lant- I had to crash land in southern Eng- orn would not have to continue long land.

Hemphill, ^^oj^^ been overseas since October^ 1943. hlsbeen flyin« Halifax bombers since June. , He was piloting one of t^e"*'" * thousand-plane raid over Dusseldorf on November 2, when one of the en- gines caught fire, while there was still 100 miles to go to the target. With one. engine knocked out the plane dropped from its specified bombing height of 21,000 feet to 13,000 feet. "That meant all the bomibs from the other 909 planes were falling around us," said Lieut. Hemphill. They continued on to Dusseldorf, dropped their load of bonubs, and on the way back, another engine was knocked out. The crippled plane made it back Voice of Ibe i'eople Mr. Editor:- I noticed a letter in u recent issue of The Advance from Uie Durham Chronicle which I do not like. It was headed "I^iblic sr.ould watch post-war planners." The writer appears to be very much against planning of any kind. We all know that the best though-out ,)lans may go wr-ng, but just think ./hat would happen if there had not .jeen any planning by government poljticijans. If labor and indnstry .iad gone ahead and manufactured all the ships, guns and ammunition [hey could, without any planning as to size or quantity of the thousand different articles needed, it is easy to see there would h'ave been a ter- rible muddle. Sd I contend that everything has to be planned if it is to be successful. The writer thinks we cannot go back to peace time condition without a jolt. I do not think the people of Can- ada want peace time conditions as they were from 1930 until the war started. These were the years when the haphazard hit-and-miss system, which The Chroncile writer loves -o well, was in full swing. If we can- not make a better Canada than we had before the wav, then the men who have died have made the su- preme safrifice in vail, and the ones who come back have risked their lives for no purpose; also we who have worked to supply them have worked in vain. The Chronicle writer does not seem to have any faith in politics or politicians. One would almost be led to believe that all his political friends had been promoted by an ul- terior or selfish motive, such as seeking a position in a Cabinet or placing; themselves in line for a judgeship, rather than looking after the interests of the common people. I think there are plenty of honest politicians, but most of them are trying to do the impossible â€" make capitalism work. He also makes theTash statement that the average government could not run a wheelbarrow factory Does he know that before the war Russia had the largest tractor fac tory in the world? What about our great Hydro System? It was start- ed and run. mere or less, by gov ernment ever since. Many cities run their own lighting and transpoi-ta- tion systems. I know that it is bu- nature to be sceptical a%at ything new. Two thousond years „„o when something new was brought into the world, the great majority would have nothing to do with it, and twelve years ago when Mr. Woodsworth suggested a plan whereby humanity could be better served than by the present capital- istic system, the reactionary fo are still for no change. â€" W. A. WEBBR. Dominion-Provincial Conference Possible National health insuSrance and old age pensions to be paid on a mors liberal scale and at a younger a^ than at present, are two propoeals the government will bring before the dominion-provincial conference. It is understood that plans now are to hold the conference as soon as possible after the federal general election. This may mean that the dominion and provinces will get to- gether about Easter. Though all provinces favor such a meeting, it proved di^wult; to arrange a date satisfact^y to them all. Provincial elections and holding sessions of var- ious legislatures at different times proved obstacles. Premier King has made it plain that, in view of the conference not having been possible to date, he feels the federal govern- ments elected for the rconstruction period should participate in it. For that reason, it will not be held until after the federal election. The fed- eral government in office then will be in a position to carry out any commitments or arrangements it agrees to. at the conference. Small Ads.
