On Friday about 30 of highs ardent skiers left for a weekend of skiing in Collingwood. Crowded conditions ard lack of lockers are causing the loss of many articles belonging to pu- pils. On Friday afternoon, at both junior and senior assemblies, our headmaster urged students to be more careful of their belong- ings; to place their names prom- inently on all items belonging to them; and to report losses to the office promptly, Of particular importance was Mr. Blake's' plea that the pupils refrain from the age-old excuse "of blaming others for their own carelessness, Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? | TEEN TOWN | By Bruce Squires Hi, everybody. These| last cou- ple of weeks of warm weather, melting snow and plenty of water seem to have put an end to skiing down here at Glen 11 and Cedar Springs, but it didn't falter the most ardent lovers of the sport, because over the week- end there was a_endless line of Oakvilleites making their way up to Collingwood, where there is still some snow, but hills that many decided were a little. too steep and long. Last week I was talking to Mary Lou Shipley, our second form Teen-Town representative, about (naturally) what she thought of Teen-Town, Mary Lou said that she thought Teen-Town was swell and 'tthe club is like a beehive, but at present there are too many drones and not enough workers. I think if every mem- ber pitched in and did his share Teen-Town would be . the. « best club in Oakville" Mary Lou is Tight. There are too many kids in Teen-Town yet that leave everything else to the other guy and too few that are working terrifically hard to keep our town going, Don't forget the contest spon- sored by Teen-Town tales. Chair- man Mike Dyer says that up to date he has received very few entries. Remember, all you have to do is write down in 10 lines or less all about your most em: barrassing, or funniest moment. Then mail you letter to Mike Dyer, Oakville. The most log- ical and original letter will. be chosen, and there is a swell prize for the winner. By the way, the judges are Betty McFaul, Bill Hall, Mike Dyer and yours truly. Better hurry, kids, "0.

SLATER The word "charity" is begin- ning to leave a nasty taste in our mouths; it denotes condescencion and poverty, it smacks of forced kindness and high pressure cam- paigns foisted on unsuspecting unwealthy people at certain times throughout the year. Charity in the world today seems to have lost its link with faith and hope, and to have joined with tipping, a necessary but unpleasant duty. So when your support is asked for the Canadian Appeal for Chil dren you are perfectly right in asking "Why?" Why another charity? Why can't these people look after themselves? Why should we Canadians dig deep to put Europe and Asia back on their feet? The answer is simple, We must help, not because they have asked for it, not because it would increase our national stature, not because we cannot feel complete. ly comfortable while others are dying of starvation. No, the rea- son we must help is because, bas- ically, all of us are idealists. Peace, never yet achieved, was thought of by idealists, and every step toward it is being taken by men whose whole being is pos- sessed by a vision larger than themselves. It is our job in this 20th century to take long, force. ful steps towards that goal, The tools of understanding and friend- ship among nations have been placed in our hands; we cannot let them rust in idleness. While half the world is dying of physical and' mental starvation, when oys and girls of 12 are il- literate because their schools were destroyed, when infants die be- cause their mothers are too starved. to feed them, we are not using those tools. If we want co-operation, the citizens of the world must be in- telligent; if we want friendship, our friends cannot be half-dead from starvation, These boys and girls, whoo are tomorrow's lead- ers, need food, clothing and med- ical supplies as well as books and scientific equipment. The Cana- dian Appeal for Children believes) in them and in their future. With yourr help it can give them food for their hungry mrinds as well'as their starved bodies. With your help it can make peace possible by showing these children that we are their friends, that we have not forgotten them. That is why the Canadian Ap- peal for Children is not "charity."

The druggists' business paper thinks the drug industry has been too modest about telling of its accomplishments in keeping the prices in line. Recalling its own price survey, made before Christ- mas, the paper points out that the average increase of over 300 main, counter-sold medicinals and toiletries then amounted to only a little over 10 per cent since 1939. Drug merchandising " cites a classic example of 'price redtic- tion in penicillin, It cost $10 per 100,000 'units in 1943, and sells to- day for $1 or less for the same amount. And with all their fancy. hair-dos, Canadian women can be thankful that they can buy for $3.50 today a better hairbrush than they could get for $10, a dozen years ago--in spite of Mr. Abbott's 25 per cent excise tax. Radio Makers Argue Against Embargo Canadian radio manufacturers are reported by Hardware and Metal to be taking the line that Ottawa's embargo on importa- tion of complete U.S.-made re- ceiving sets alone saves at least half of all the dollars spent by the radio in dollars earned by export of Canadian-made sets, and they believe they have a strong case against embargoes on radio parts and materials, S-T-O-P spells stop--but it may spell accident to the motor- ist who disregards its meaning. The Ontario Highways Depart- ment warns that the. unlawful practice of merely slowing up and driving on past a stop sign is all too common, OPERATION POOCH A frolicking, but foolhardy, small white dog, which had gone for a romp on ice-choked Gravesend bay, N.Y., was finally rescued after one of the most involved sea-land rescue operations ever in local waters. Before the shivering pup was removed from an ice floe on which it had been marooned for hours a short distance off shore, the services of the state police de- partment, fire department, ASPCA, coast guard and volunteer civilians nad been failed to reach clvilians set out in a small sailboat and finally managed to paddle their way to the trapped cinine. But before they got the dog Into the boat, one of the trio, who had ven- tured on to tl ice floe, slipped into the Icy wa and after selz- ing the pup was pulled back Into the boat.

Knarf and Hanid, the shadow- children with the turned-about names, heard Ting-a-Ling calling up to them late at night, after everyone in the house was fast asleep. They made themselves as small as pins (which is the proper size for visiting anyone who lives at the bottom of a blue china plate). Then they slid down the sides of the plate, and came to rest a few moments later in a bush near the back door of Ting-a-Ling's house. Ting-a-Ling said "How-do-you- @0?" Then he said: "Have you seen anything of She-Who-Sits- -in-the-Field-and-Chews 2" Puzzled Look Knarf looked puzzled. But Hanid smiled andsanswered: "No, Ting-a-Ling, we haven't seen any- thing of your cow. Is she lost?" Ting-a-Ling shrugged. "I took her out "early this morning with the One-Who-Wears - Wool - On- His-Back and, the old One-With- A-Beard-And-Horns,! Again Knarf looked puzzled, while Hanid said promptly, "Oh, you took the cow out with the sheep and the goat." "Exactly so," said Ting-a-Ling. "All was well for a long while. Then suddenly I heard Him-Who- Watches-And-Calls--" "The dog?" said Knarf, inter- rupting. Ting-a-Ling nodded, heard him barking, down to the field, But she was gone. I searched all over for her. I searched in the Hill-Of-Grass- That-Is-Dry. But she wasn't there." "Where? "Yes, T So I ran asked Knarf, In the Haystack 'Ting.a-Ling just said he searched for the cow in the hay- stack," Hanid told her brother.
