However. the winning o! it bears another significance, which is not so pleasant. It means that 1 have completed my four years at Newcastle High School and must leave the familiar halls and friendships which I have enjoyed for those short, eventful years. But though I must leave ail this behind I may stili take wîth me ail the happy memaries which are crowded tagether in one un- Jorgettable chapter of my if e. I wîll especiaily remember the lppy hours wbich I spent on Srugby f ield, the basebal ond and the volley bahl court. annual field day was an- ri bighlight with the excite- mient of competition and ta top it ail the banquet and party at riight in the community hall. The baseball and hockey games that we played with Orono, Millbrook and Blackstock were another in-i teresting feature. Other things of note are the trips that we made by bus and boat ta see the famous Niagara Falls, ta the Royal Winter Fair, and ta Peterborough. In Pet- erborough we toured the Quaker Oats buildings and toak a launch trip thraugh the famous Lift Locks. Another feature ini Newcastle High School is the Cadet Corps in wbîch we boys studied the Morse Code, Rifle Drill, Target Shooting, Small Arms Training and the Bren Ligbt Machine Gun. Map Reading, First Aid, Field Craf t and as a reward for aur efforts the two weeks that we spent at Cadet Camp in Ipper- wash an Lake Huron. The Farm wbich I was in was a rather large one for a school the size o! Newcastle High School and sa, we had some hilaniaus times and wcre. 1 must con!ess, a constant hcartache ta the teach- ers. As the years went by some o! my classsmates le! t and oth- ers came. H-owever, from Third Form on, the girls had the boys badly outnumbered, in fact. about six ta one, which was a grieviaus state o! affairs. Duning the years we had schoal parties and literary meetings which provided a pleasant change from the usuai routine. The hast couple o! years there have been interschaol parties with Orono and Millbrook. In a schooh the 1 To brigbten the lives o! sick and handicapped boys Vancouver bas appainted R. V.

Home Ownership Brings Many Direct Advantages Did you even enumerate the many forces which the ownership or the purchase o! a new home sets inta motion? Just what are the direct advantages ta you when the famiiy acquires its awn place ta live? Hene are a few o! them: 1. Financial Independence - More people have started on the road ta finiancial independence through home ownership than in any other way. 2. Security - In times of stress the home is always something ta fall back on.* 3. Credit - Home awnersbip gives financial and credit rating in the business world because it is everywhere recognized as a fundamental principal o! stabil- ity. 4. Social Background - The childnen o! bome-owning parents somehow seem ta have a greater stake in the community. Children Gain 5. Enviranment for Children -Your sons and daughters have the privihege of playing and spending recreation periods with- in the confines o! land which is owned by the family and in which Ithey have a persanal interest. Improvements and additions can be made with no fear that your work will be wasted as is often the case when the family moves i frorn a nented bouse. S6. Development of Responsibil- 1 t*v - The home awner always lfeels a greater sense of respon- sibil ity for tbe pxreservation o! his property; and, in any neigh- borhood whene borne awnership nredominates, building values and the appearance o! the commun- itY are always mucb better than in a rentai area. 7Expression o! Individuality L-The opportun ity ta express in !Ihe interion and exterior o! yaur home those personal ideas o! yaurs wbich individualize your *prapert.v as having been devel- aped according ta your awn taste is wontb much in personal con- tentment and satisfaction. Environment Security 8. Permanence of Environment Land it is pretty difficuit ta de- velop ife-long attacbments which make living more pleasant when wve mave !rom rented bouse ta rented house in many different communities. 9. Independence - It is cer- tainl 'v a pleasure for the home owner ta know that no one can raise bis rent, order him ta move, tell him bow many pets he can have. restnict the size of bis fam- i il, or comment in any way upon the development o! the home. 10. Peace o! Mind - We always llive botter when we knowr that Your Share cif The Take- <By Joseph Lister Rutledge) One o! the greatest taîkin points of organized labor has a] ways been that the worker is er tithed ta bis fair share o! the in creased values that result from hi efforts. We think, and have a. ways thought, that this is a verý fair and reasonable dlaim. Bu the strange thing about an argu ment in wvbich most o! us are ii general agreement is that we teni ta accep)t organized labor's stress ing o! the point as evîdence tha someone, or some great farce, i denying this right and that henc the worker is suffering somi monstraus injustice. A lot c people won't go for that injustici idea, but there are stili quitei number who, remembering thi pather that labor bas been mak ing, assume that where there ii smoke there must be fire. Just a casual investigatia. would seem ta suggest that thi fire is a pretty damp squib a! te ail. It is difficult to go into in dividual cases but, in the broac view, we do know that in 1944 aur total national incame-wha we earned by aur efforts in wage and salaries and what capita earned from its investmentý reached a total o! just short o $13 billion. That was a littie betý ter than three times as much aý we bad earned ten years before Now what a lot o! people ike tc suggest is that capital got a dis. proportionate share of the in. crease. This is a bard argument ta sup. port. Out o! ali aur incarne b 1949, wages and salàries and sup. plementary labor incarne account. ed for 60 per cent. But that didn'i include the soldiers' pay or thE returns ta independent workers- farmers, fishermen. prospectons small businessmen and the like We don't suppose that organized labor wil ike ta have thenr lumped in with the other work. ing force, but where else can wE put them? Certainly tbey don'l represent capital, and tbey art wonkers. Together these wonk. ing groups in 1949 received up- ward af 82 per cent o! al aur na- tional incarne. This seems a reas. onably genenous share. It wa: quite a bit better share, flot onhî in volume, but percentagewise, than they received in 1939. What the wonker gained, profits lost. The percentage Incarne o: capital was as much less as iab- ar's incarne was more. What ther becomes o! the argument that the worker isn't getting bis fair share o! the take? Fly's wings vibrate 330 times a second, while bee's wings vi- brate 190 times a second. As the red and green and golden ights of Christmas wink through the twilight, w. send you our greetings for a Christmas ta be long and happily remoembered. J. W. JEWELL ""Big 20" size of Newcastle High School, everyone has a part to play and a job to do in making each school activity a success. This helps to create a deeper sense of com-, radeshjp among the students, de- velopes a sense' of responsility and teaches them to co-oprt with one another. I and the rest of my classmates owe a great deal to the Newcastle High School, to its teaching staff. to its school board and to its caretaker. Although I amn going ta Bow- manville to complete my High School Education, I will stili con- sider Newcastle High School "My High School", each room, each desk, each place where I scratch- ed my initiais seern jike old friends which I have knoyn but flot forgotten. When I think of Newcastle High School, I think of it with pride. Not because it has done anything spectacular, for because it is famous for its scholars, but ibecause it has through the years equipped a steady flow of Young Canadians with a weapon far better than the newest war secret to cope wîth the affairs of our world today-Education, I thank yau.
