Fire Preven- tion Week, Fire Chie! Lucius Hooper, accompanied by Ross Stutt, Chairman o! the School Board and Deputy Fire Chie! W. Hackney, made an inspection o! all schools in town and held fire drills. The results were very en- couraging as will be seen in the times shown for evacuating build- ings following the alarmns. Central Public School: Pupils 485, teachers 12. Time clearing building, 1 minute 20 seconds. High School: Pupils 280, teach- ers 10. Time 45 seconds. "The Modern Store" South Ward School: Pupils 81, teachers 2. Time 40 seconds. The committee stated great sa- tisfaction in the drills at all schools with special mention o! the Central School where there are several classes o! wee tots, but who were found well trained and taken care o! by both teach- ers and older pupils in case o! an alarm. Indeed ail pupils were well trained and marched out in an orderly manner Congratulations were extended to the principals and teachers o! all schools for their careful attention in this most important work. In connection with Fire Pre- vention Week, the Boy Scouts, numbering 60, in charge o! Scout- Bowmanville master A. H. Sturrock, paraded to the Fire Hall and were given a talk by the Fire Chie! and Dep- uty Fire Chie! on fire prevention and instructed in turning in alarms. They were shown the use o! the different fire extin- guishers and a demonstration o! the new respirator equipment and life saving in drowning cases. These were explained by Fred Standard, first aid instructor for the Fire Department. Great in- terest was shown by the boys. Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mmnd, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. -Robert Louis Stevenson. Orono News Public School teachers of Orono and vicinity attended a Teachers' Institute of Inspectorate No. 1, Northumberland and Durham, in Cobourg on October 16th. A pro- fitable time was spent by the tea- chers, and the pupils appreciated a holiday. The passing of John J. Cornish in Oshawa Hospital after an un- fortunate accident on Highway No. 2, two weeks previously, cast a gloom over Orono and ail the surrounding county last week. Friends from many distant points together with neighbors and life- long friends of Orono, filled Park Street United Church to express their sympathy to the bereaved and respects to the departed. Rev. S. Littlewood conducted the ser- vice and the Orono Lodge A.F. & A.M. held a service at the grave.

Cry- derman, Secretary, read the min- utes of the spring closing meeting in April; of the picnic held at Kiwanis Club in June; and of the executive meeting held in Sep- tember. There was also much correspondence, mainly thank-you cards for fruit or flowers sent to sick members. Guest speaker was Dr. C. W. Slemon, Bowmanville, who was introduced by Mr. W. R. West- lake. Dr. Slemon taught at Brad- ley's school for two and one-half years before commencing the study of medicine. He compared the school and sehool customs of the present with those of the past; named over many of bis former pupils and told o! thç excellent work done by the Public School Leaving Classes o! those days. For teaching ten grades he re- ceived the munificent salary of $300 a year but received excellent board for $1.75 per week. He told the boys and girls listening to do their studies faithfully from day to day; as the daily work well-done, often brings greater success than that obtained some- times by more brilliant students. The music for the evening was provided by Master Ross Met- caîf, accompanied at thQ piano by his mother of Base Line. He ex- hibits great talent in the musical field and delighted all with a fine piano solo, two mouth organ sel- ections, and three vocal solos, "This is My Task" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" beautifully rendered; and a comic number "MacNamara's Band"' accompan- ied by actions. A hearty vote of thanks was extended to our three guests by Mrs. W. Leask. After the singing of God Save the King, a poetic contest was en- gaged in before lunch and the us- ual social hour. Attendance 60. Two of the poetic efforts fol- low: At Bradley's Club we met again, And though we had a little rain A goodly crowd turned out to hear A former teacher and a seer. His reputation is well known For many goodly deeds he's done. His deed tonight was rather punk For on his way he killed a skunk But things turned out so very well We don't know how he killed the smell. But doctors have their secrets rare, And that is alI we need to care. Bradleys, Bradleys, one, two, three, Is the Community Club for me. The best o! people, the best of fun.

At times it seemed we might flot see the day, S But now at Iast the rising Sun Is ours And wîth it cornes new challenge to our powers. Was war naught but a game to win by score And, having won, to cheer, and strive no more? If that be ail for which our men have died Then we have lied. 0 Canada, most favoured of the lands, Review wherean our right to victory stands; Our vow ta free and succour those oppressed- Provide for those who fought and are distressed, Who risked without reserve ail they could give To break our foes that we might freely live. If we now stop to haggle at the cost Then we'Il have lost. If we play square with those who fought our fight, And work with them ta shape our world arights Postpone our buying things we littie need- Prevent inflation growing through our greedi Co-operte in peace as well as war Byloai? to our cause a little more If we keep faith until the job is done Then we'iI have won.
