councd funds volunteers slood on the auction block on thursday afternoon offering a days undying devotion to the highest bidder some went for as high as a dollar others went into servitude in groups of two or three at economy rates grade 13 gave visible evidence of the cooperative spirit that results from five years of mutual suffering by pooling funds to buy a number of slaves including mrs

something yourcountry or your school for example the proper thing to do is to criticize its an obvious cue of too many chiefs most people making statements these days have simply no idea what they are

according to a recent survey 52 per cent of the students contacted in acton district high school are in favor of a smoking lounge within the building however it appears doubtful that anything wdl be done about it in the near future to meet fire regulations such a room must be specially budt with tile floors and proper ventilation there is no jrea suitable within the school at the present time viceprincipal joe buy commented were sympathetic to the students neids but i cant really see anything until the tune for new building plan comes along results of the survey distributed among students showed that the majority ot smokers in the high school were in the fouryear program the girls are mostly in the four year business and commerce courses the boys are more widely spread out oddly enough the highest percentage of smokers are at the grade 10 level there appears to be no definite reason tor this trend unless the novelty simply wears oft by the upper grades while s- per tent ot the students voted in lavor ol the lounge only 10 per ient said they would be willing to clean up alter school a total of 10 per tent stated that their parents approved of the lounge ot those who tilled out the survey per cent were smokers another 1 1 per cent said they telt they might start smoking if they had the lounge with the survey completed and the administrations attention caught most

first i was a onetrack reader within a matter of weeks i had consumed every horse novel on the shelves of our local library then it was jungle boy and tarzan of the apes after i discovered i was a girl i advanced into nancy drew mystery books and the anne of green gables series i remember that i liked to read late at night when the house was quiet i used to put a sweater over the top of my bedlamp so my mother couldnt see that the light was still on once in the middle ol stephen leacocks sunshine sketches the sweater ought fire i had to change reading habits from then on prescribed school books automatically became dull even before i started reading them somehow knowing that they were doomed to analyiation and dissection took away the glamor and excitement the reading habit seems to be like progressive alcoholism once you begin to get a taste for it it becomes a need that must be satisfied or it results in a nervous irritable sickly condition the hooked reader will stop at nothing to absorb the printed word he reads the paper the cereal box and the label on his silverware for breakfast he absorbs billboards gum wrappers licence plates and even painted sweatshirts anything to tide him over until he can once more sink into the seclusion of a good book a good book can take the place of a lost love treat you to a trip around the world when youre broke add adventure and intrigue to a dull existence or enable you to let on to the world youve been around even if youve never ventured outside the town limits a wise man named erasmus once said when i get a
