weekly newspaper association and che ontarioquebec division of the cwna the editors corner anything missing being editor of a weekly newspaper involves a lot more than the title would imply one of the things we get a kick out of is our function as a sort of central lostandfound department during the past year a strange assortment of articles has appeared in one corner of the herald window reaching such proportions at times that strangers might think we were planning a rummage sale perhaps the most common articles turned in are keys skeleton keys yale keys post office keys a steady procession of them pass in and out of our of fice it was not hard to tell when the winter season ap proached if we had been shut in a windowless office for months the collection of mitts and gloves would have soon told us that winter was here one day a mans plaid scarf was on view in the window an other time a purse cotnaining a substantial sum of money was turned in and never claimed no we didnt keep it but returned it to the honest finder best of all we think was a neatly wrapped christmas present which when opened revealed a wee pair of bedroom slippers with a gift card to billy yes we get quite a kick out of our lost and found role in georgetown our present stock consists of 1 yale key no 12144 i red and black wool mitt right hand i brown leather mitt right hand 1 ball of 4 ply brown wool i gold locket manning pool when we first heard of manning pool we were puzzled as to the meanmg of the title we surmized that some mr manning had donated the air training base to the country or that it was named after some historical figure as a tribute to his memory then we learned that the explanation was much simpler than that manning pool means just what it saya a reser voir or depot from which aircraft men are drawn to man our planes j v mcaree globe and mail columnist says it should be manning pool without any capitals but weve got in the habit of using the capitals and dont see anything wrong in continuing to use them maybe one of our local lads who has passed through torontos manning pool will write sometime and describe his experiences as we understand it when a man joins the air force his initiation consists of a preliminary period in the pool here he- might re main for two or three days or two or three weeks until it is decided where he will best fit into the scheme of things it might be to st thomas where gilbert hunt is with technical training school no 1 dunnville where ken mackenzie is stationed to patricia bay in british columbia to join jim evans and ian macken zie to regina saskatchewan with dave crichton some of the men apparently have some choice as to their location a friend who entered manning pool a few months ago and is now at st thomas slid that he had a choice between kings on and st thomas choosing the latter because it was closer to home introducing j a strang we are pleased to present a new feature this week by j a strang who for seven years was a popu lar writer for the harriston review mr and mrs strang moved to georgetown last spring and are living on a small farm near hunters inn mr strang is a baker by trade and his former column in the harriston paper was called behind the wheel it contained anecdotes and bits of philosophy acquired as he drove his bread wagon on the daily trip around town the bread wagon days are no more but the ideas collected through the years are still fresh in mr strangs mind and we hope that in the future he will co many more conamns for herald readers the transcanada air lines in

govern ment asks milk it city people don t even know which side of the cow to sit on in fact a controversy has been started and if more than the usual number of men are seen brawling on the street corners now- adajs it may all be due to the which- idecow dispute in a downtown to- lonto office the score to date is as fol lows sit on cows left 38 sit on cows right 22 sit on either side l evaded 3

a botfly that to a man who didnt even know which side to stand on when shooing a hen but the cow question has given rise to others prom which side to mount a horse most of the city question ed seemed to know uaat answer but they were not so sure about where to stand when putting on the harness the man out at the riding stable al ways does that all said however that in this country a motor car is driven from the left side they ig- nored the fact that it is sometimes driven from the right front or even the back too often one city chap not long absent from the farm perhaps had all sorts of stray bits of knowledge to impart said that a cow or horse will eat all around a birds nest in the field with out disturbing the nest itself and then he put in a question of his own are a cows horns behind his ears or in front of them one lass promptly replied that a cow has no horns at all shed seen dozens wltiiout them this set the group to looking up pic tures of cows cows with and with out but the investigators are still wrangling as to what the pictures show are a cows horns in front of its ears or behind them how scare are hens teeth what grows on whiffle trees its a good thlna there are no

honour of serv ing as a bo scout tn the georg- towii cout troop a few jears ago i v ish to express mv sad regret in the nassing of lord baedn powell who was our trrei scout chief whom we looked up to as a hero and a man in ills ouch ngs we found something that was honest and good which was worth while for in voung fellow to live up to hls works were known worldwide nd bv his deeds he set himself as an example to both the young and old to o b which seemed to inspire them on to a better way of living and richer and fuller life i can well remember the big boy scout and girl guide rallv that held in toronto may 10th 1935 the scout chief and his wife which will never be forgotten by we scouts who wore there in the coliseum to see the unforcet table demonstration that was g v en them as i look around me i see most of the lads of the old scout trooo now serving in his majestys for- ws here and abroad what they hav learned with the boy scouts a few vears ago is sure to help them in this big task that lies before us they a fighting for uie same ideals that the wout law stands for and i know they will come througn witti flying colours i see there ls a great need of a scout iroop in town these days and i would like to see the lions or some other organization that stands for good get down to work and start ai know there are many people la town who would like to see this tak place and who would give the soon movement their full support tn are many scouts as well as myself would like to see the young lads ound town given a chance to something that will help them and later on tn life t must bid farewell now so til off by saying good hick sad best wishes to the next gmortetown troop a yours
