The mext meeting will be in charge of the Christian Culture g under Miss Marion Nelson. The hymn) "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,' was then sung. An excellent topic entitled "What is Peace, and Why do We Hate War?'r was given by Mrs. C. Dudley. Rev, Mr. Armstrong, who was an army Chaplain overseas during the war and therefore an authority on matters pertaining to war, gave an interesting talk inspired by the topic. Adele and Lloyd Chapman favoured with an autoharp and mouthorgan selection, and Miss Mae Mutton and Miss Helen Trottman with a duet. A contest wa* then conducted by Miss Mae Mutton. The hymn, "There's a Green Hill Far Away," and the Mizpah Benediction closed the meeting. GET READY TO COMBAT THE COMING PEST No insect pests that trouble kind are more universally annoying than the houseflies. They are present from early spring until late fall, even remaining far into the winter. They are most intolerable in kitchens and dining rooms because of the albundance, their proneness to into foodstuffs, and their generally filthy habits. Each foot of the housefly is nished with two pads covered with hairs which secrete minute drops of sticky liquid that holds the fly to the surface on which it walks. The sticky foot pads and the hairs or body of the fly entangle and gather up myriads of germs from all sorts of foul places and distribute these wherever it goes, for it is canstantly wiping its feet on everything that it touches. It has been proven definitely that the common housefly carries the germs of such diseases that c untold destruction to human life. Cholrea bacilli have been found great numbers, as well as the deadly germ of tuberculosis, both of which are deposited on food and milk. THE NEWSPAPER WINS After experimenting with ever known medium of advertising, and spending hundreds of thousands <jf, dollars in doing so, the Colgate- Palmolive-Peet Company,___IAk manufacturers of soap and toilet articles, has reached the definite c< elusion that newspaper advertising the best of all. Radio, billboards, magazines and everything else have been tried, but this year the company will concentrate its advertising tireily in ^he newspapers. The reason for this policy is given by S. Bayard Colgate, president of company, in the following words: "We have found in distributing a product of general use that the newspapers reach the greatest number of customers and therefore of greatest value to our company as an advertising medium. Experience has been expensive to this company, but it has brought about a policy which it believes will be a great business builder. Anyone who has any benefit, however, from that experience, can build business by following the same policy, that of concentrating advertising efforts the newspapers. EASTER REPORT, 1935 S. S.

Clean-up Time Spring may not be here yet. but is not too early to think of gath- ing up the old rubbish that has accumulated during the winter months and taking it to the dump. The winter season is a handy one for hiding a lot of things, but here is one place where the law of average prevails. It looks different in the spring when the snow goes away. Pick up the refuse, gather "p the bottles and the old tins, and get that ash pile removed is good advice. The town will look better and you'll feel better, too. in the satisfaction of a •ork well done. It has COLBORNE H. S. NOTES Congratulations are in order for the following pupils who headed their spective forms in the Easter exami tions:-- In Form 1, Arthur Winter; in Form 2, Doris Heckbert; in Form 3, Evelyn Mutton, and in Upper School, Elva Denny. In keeping with the general spirit of Spring, the school lawns have received the annual "facial" at the hands of the male portion of the school enrolment. It's surprising what a roller and a rake, plus a little muscular effort, can contribute towards preserving the neat appearance of our institutions. In case you aren't aware of it, we beg to inform you that it's Easter holidays at C. H. S., and the staff (and probably most of the pupils) are vacationing at their various homes. Miss Tape is at Highgate, Miss Mitchell at Oshawa, Mr. McCutcheon at Toronto, and Mr. Beecroft at Belgrave. Incidentally we were rather curious regarding the location of Belgrave and we took the trouble to hunt it up (< the map of course). Belgrave, as it happens, is a small village just south of Wingham, which is aproximately 80 miles due north of London. Ont. The interior of the school is undergoing a beauty treatment at the present time. According to the workmen (Messrs. H. Carter and G. Hay: the hallways and cloak-rooms are to come in for their full share of paint and repairs. If your interests run along the lines of interior decorating, you'd probably like to know that the new colour scheme is white and light brown. MRS.
