PONTYPOOL According to this month's Read- er's Digest, the "honour" system is usod at the University o! Vir- ginia. It works like this: If a pro- fessor goes out o! the roora, na ono choats. If a student leaves expensive text books lying amound, no one takes them. If anyone forgets a coat, it is stili hanging thero when the owner roturns. The U. of V. Board o! Governors sure didn't get their "honour" idea from these parts. Why, it's get- ting sb now when you get your clothes buttoned up you have to put a few laps o! haling wire around yourself to keep thieves fmom pinching what you havé on. Not long ago a summer cottage was burglared o! some electric things like a washing machine, etc. The only reason the thieves le! t the refrigerator was owing to the difficultY o! getting it through the door. Later the bouse next door lost its beds, etc. The O.P.P. were doing a job o! sleuthing on Nov. lst. Dr. McNeils dog was recovered in Toronto. Now, bow do you suppose he got up there? Maybe was thumbing a ride and the kind motorist forgot to lot him off before the city was reached. A new family has moved onto the old Curry farm, west o! Drum School. Bruce Fisk and family have vacated the apartment over Richardson's store and have moved into Bort Ricbardson's bouse. They couldn't move in with a nîcer guy. We hear the Ken Fallis farpily intend moving to Toronto sbortly. Now that Ray Faith's house bas been sold, they may be moving elsewhere. *We are pleased to report the wcd ding o! Doris Stinson and Percy Swain on Oct. 28. And, o! course, wo can't f ail to mention the mai:- riages o! three othcr young ladies o! our acquaintance, Misses Mari- on Jones, Marion Hayward and Yvonno Byam. We peddled bread and cakes to each of the threc girls' mothers when we used to drive the Tyrone route. Farms in light land areas seem to change hands much more quickly than those in dlay ibelts. Only recontly, tobacco farmers have purchased four farms 'in close proximity to each other, from the foilowing former own- ers. Henry Blakely, Harold Little, Steve Morton, the Wm. Kinsman Estate. Not so long ago the Pontypool area was noted for its blow sand, grasshoppers and poor crops. The people who iived bere weren't considered very bright. But with the intelligent use o! fertilizers, using the land to grow the type o! crop best suited Io it, plus ex- tensive reforestation, it will soori be considered smart to hale fromn this neck o! the woods. We woke up last Saturday to find a couple of inches o! snow on the ground and an east bliz- zard raging. We warned you about six weeks ago that there will be lots o! snow this winter, s0 get ready. One nice thing about the cool weather is that my wife bakc-s ber own bread then. Baker's bread is nice, but we like the littie wife's home-made bread and rolis too, especially when they are still warmn and a pound o! butter is nice and bandy.

Now, wc4 are told Ken Fallis is quitting and Ambrose Pollard is taking over. No sooner do wo get lised to a courier than veo have ta start studying the idiosyn- crasies o! a new one. It is the hardest job we know o! on a horse, harness, cutter, buggy or cal% And, having driv- en the route for a couple of yearz;, we believe that only a guy with a screw loose would keep on driv- ing it at the vemy low contract figure that is often paid. In fair- ness to the Postal Dept. wo wish to point out that it is the courier who sets his own salary in com- petitive bidding. Wc have known people to complain of the cour- riem's service. Yet those same people would not have been haif as good. Well, lct's hope o;ir new mail man proves to ibe a good one. In the meantime, we will keep our fingers crossed.

'What Others Say EDUCATION THROUGH ADVERTISING (Midland Free Press Herald> Acknowiedgement of the ef- fectiveness of education through newspaper advertising has been made again and again by Pro- vincial and Federal governmental authorities. Year in and year out aduit ed- ucation programs are carried through successfuily and at rela- tively low cost by this means. Yet in the f ield of excessive use of alcoholic beverages, one of the greatest social and governmentai problems in Canada today, our departments of education and our liquor control authorities have been lbath to use this or any oth- er medium of mass instruction. Why should not at least ten per cent of the net profit of provincial liquor sales go each year to the promotion of true temperance through planned advertising? Over-indulgence is costing this nation millions of dollars annu- ally in broken homes and broken bodies, a cost which is bearing di- rectly on every taxpayer. The statîstics are in large measure available. The story can be fact- ual, free of preachiness, and fully and freely told. Such an investment in aduit ed- ucation through advertising would make good sense and save good dollars. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE (Pembroke Standard) Who the Liberals choose as their leader in Ontario on November 9th, he will have a mighty poor chance of replacing Prime Mini- ister Frost, but if we have in the opposite party, the Liberal Party, a gentleman of Prime Minister Frost's level head, intelligence and popularity it will be nothing more than this big and rich prov- ince is entitled to right away. It is true, under Farquhar Oli- ver the Liberals captured in the last provincial election only 13 seats Out of 90, while in the Fed- eral election the Liberals under Premier St. Laurent captured 58 Ontario seats, but the forces that went to the aid of the latter gentleman will not be so interest- ed in the next leader of the Lib- eral Party in Ontario. However, ail Ontario will be interested in the selection the Liberal party will make on November 9th, but ail those who have signified their intention of standing for that position need not be too sanguine. Premier Frost is a mighty good and capable man and in this big and wealthy province the geîî- eral opinion will be to leave well enough alone.

Heavy Demad NOW Fo Wod orkers The demand for woodsworkers across Canada now exceeds the number registered for woods work at National Employment Service offices by more than four- teen to one. Mr. Gregg reported that the Department of Labour and the National Empioyment Service, in cooperation with the woods oper- ators, were now carrying out an extensive recruiting campaign for woods labour from one end of the country to the other. In addition to the thousands of workers which would be turned up through the general campaign, a speciai movement of workers froma Newfoundland to Ontario was being undertaken. About 500 workers would be arriving in Ontario from Newf oundiand shortiy.1 The Minister also reported that suitable workers for the bush were also being brought In from Dispiaced Persons camp s in Eur- ope and that these would arrive in November.

Jobs ini the woods are nov avallable for large numbers oS woodsworkers In most part~i 0 Canada, Hon. Milton F. Greg& Minister of Labour, stated today. The Minister pointed out that woods operators could do mucli to assist in balancing suppiy andl demand of workers for their in* dustry by reporting at the earliest possible moment, their needs to the nearest National Empioyment Service office. It was expected that, at the peak of the season, the number of men employed in the woodi would be greater than ini any oter post-war year. n) Wlle there are jobs availa1:' for xvoods workers in ail regions of Canada, the greatest demand at September 283xvas in Ontario, particularly in the Head of the Laiçes area, and in Quebec. Mr. Gregg explained that many farm wvorkers regularly take jobs in the bush during the winter. Prairie Provinces had slowed up the movement of farmers, andi the Lakehead area was feeling a shortage of workers. AND THIS is AI OMIS ýDDDDDDD"""'9) ý,-5ý5 InTEDAY PICTURE99
