"It was quite cold, of course, but on the other hand, it was also quite beauti- ful. When the sun shone on if, it glittered like diamonds. Grand- father found a beautiful cave and lived in it. "But then" Mr. Punch went on, "grandfather began to notice the iceberg seemed to be getting, smaller and smaller," "Was it melting?" Knarf ask- ed. grandfather do?" Floating Southward Mr, Punch nodded. "Thats exactly what it was doing. It wag floating southward all the time where it grew warmer and warmer. And the warmer it got the quicker the iceberg melted. From being a mountain, it be- came a hill, and from a hill it became a cake of ice, just big enough to stand on. And all the while, grandfather was still in the middle of the ocean, with nothing around him but water". "My goodness!" Hanid ex- claimed in dismay. "What did your grandfather do when it finally melted?" Mr. Punch sighed. "I never found out. Grandfather never told me the end of the story. I dowt know what happened. I only wish I did." Knarf and Hanid wished he did too. But there was nothing they could do about it. That was all 'they could ever find out about Mn, Punch's grandfather and the iceberg. | Power Saving Ideas Mrs. Ernie St. Mars called to suggest that the Water and Light Commission indicate on each resident of Oakville's bill just how much power the user had conserved during the period. It was her thought that this could be done hy indicating on the bill what the consumption of power had been for the comparable per- iod the year before. She also sug- gested that a sticker of some kind he attached to any bills where the user had done an outstanding job, as she felt encouragement would help, Bus Schedule Leaves Kerr St. Leaves Dundas St. 7 2.0. 9.40 a.m. IB 10.40 2m. 9,10 a.m, STOP AT ~ 12.00 -- 10,10 a.m, ALL 1.10 p.m. 11.10 am, CORNERS 2.10 p.m. 12.40 p.m, ON ROUTE 3.10 p.m. 1.40 p.m. DOUGLAS Siopm. 2.40 p.m. To " i 3.40 p.m, SPRUCE 5.10 p.m. 4.40 p.m, To 6.10 p.m. 5.40 p.m REYNOLDS © 7.10 pm.

Until after the exams, anyway. Speaking of football, last week, I forgot to mention the names of those girls: who were cheerleaders and who! gave the teams so much support. These girls were Rona Grief, Pat MacCleary, Beth MacTaggart, Beth Craddock, Barb Darlington, Isabel Mercure, Lorrie Wright, Barb Campbell and Dianne Gor- don. Thanks very much girls, it was wonderful to have so much support during the games and to lead the fans in the cheers. [Er A Remembrance Day Service was held for students, Old Boys, parents, and friends on Wednes- day in Teen Town. Mr. H. C. Mer- ry was chairman, with Rev. Jack- son, Rev. Nichol, Rev. Pawson, Mr. S. W. Blake, and three old boys as guests. A large frame containing the pictures of the 32 old boys who were Killed in the Second Great War. Cadet band and two special pla- toons of cadets and girls marched in the town parade and partici- pated in the service at the Cen- otaph and at the site for the new Memorial Hospital. Fir Some 22 high school students attended a Youth Conference on Parliament at Convocation Hall on Saturday, November 13. Speakers there were Agnes Mec- Phail, John Deifenbaker, Hugh Cleaver and Jean Francois Poul- fout. Some of those students who were there were Bill Hall, Dave Pawson, Aaron = Brown, Dave Farley, Carolyn Jaffray, Mr. Blake and Bob Allan. I under- stand that the conference was en- joyed by all, and they are all looking forward to the next one. vex Several bowling teams have been formed under the leadership of John Ross, and I understand that they begin their tourna- ments on November 24. As afore mentioned, since the football sea- son is over, activities have de- creased for awhile. Well, it looks as if I've shot the works for this week, so I had better start study- ing now for the Christmas exams which begin in two weeks or so. I say this every year at this time, but I usually end up playing soli- taire. So Mother if yowll pass the cards Tl begin to study. TEEN TOWN By Bruce Squires Hi everybody! Last Friday night we had one of the biggest crowds at Teen Town of the sea- son. It seemed as if every last boy in Oakville was hooked to go to that dance. Yes, the annual Sa- die Hawkins day dance was a wonderful success, and as a special treat we had Herbie Heldman and his orchestra. Many couples attended a party before dance, held by Judy Butterworth, and had a really swell time. On Sunday, November Tth, a special meeting of the First and Temporary General Council of Teen Canteens, and Teen Towns Councils members was held in MacNeill Memorial Church in Hamilton in conjunction with the STOCK CLEARANCE VICTOR RECORDS RECORDINGS BY SUCH FAMOUS ORCHESTRA LEADERS AS Perry Como Dennis Day Freddie Martin 2 °r.89 OFFER GOOD UNTIL DEC. 2nd Tex Beneke Tommy Dorsey Phil Harris Vaughn Monroe Regular 75¢ 4 49 Records H.

Farley from Oakville was ours) are trying to unite Teen Towns so that the clubs can help one another with their special pro- blems. It was decided that the clubs would be divided into dis- tricts according to the districts set up by the Inter-scholastic Football Union, each district having a sub council made up of representatives from each Teen Club. Each sub-council will have a representative to the General Council which will be in a posit- ion to deal with important bus- iness for all Southern Ontario and which will meet once or twice a year. Right at the mom- ent the representatives from this conference are geting in touch with all Teen Clubs in their dis- trist to join the Council. This idea of uniting the Clubs is real- ly swell because now the clubs and councils will have the ad- vice of many more Teen-agers backing them and their decis- ions. Let's hope that the Coun- cil is ready to operate very soon. See you next week.
