Living at high tension, always in a hurry, may cause strain resulting in high blood pressure, a clot in the arteries of the heart muscle, dyspepsia or general fatigue, if the stress is unduly prolonged. Fatigue may be avoided by living normally, eating wisely, taking time to relax and getting sufficient rest. COLBORNE COUNCIL A special meeting of Colborne Village Council was held in the Council Chambers Thursday. October 31st, 1957. Members present: Reeve F. W. Harding and Councillors Cotter, Post, Spence and Armstrong. Reeve Harding explained that he had called the meeting in response to a request from a delegation of citizens who desired to discuss a certain' matter with the Council. Mr. Al. Cammack stated that the Recreational Director had received a letter from Mr. Ben C. Thompson, M. P., mentioning the fact that there was a possibility of several buildings at Deseronto being sold in the near future and suggesting htat if he were still interested in procuring a building he should write Mr. J. D. Gardner, 88 Metcalf Street, Ottawa, who would advise if and when any of these buildings were for sale. A number of citizens had gone to Deseronto and they reported that among the buildings in the area was a drill hall 165 ft. x 115 ft. Mr. Cammack asked Council If they would supply a site for a building if it should happen that this build-ins could be procured. The matter was thoroughly discussed and it was agreed that Council would supply a site and on motion of Post and Cotter it was decided that the Clerk should write to Otawa offering a firm bid of $50.00 for the drill hall and that a copy of the letter should be sent to Mr. Thompson. On motion Council did then ad- On the advice of the Recreational Director the above letter was not written as the correspondence was of a private nature and he wished to consult Mr. Thompson before any action was taken. 35th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Welton, Castleton, quietly celebrated their 35th Wedding Anniversary Friday, November 8th. They were entertained at a dinner party held at the Chateau Hotel, Cobourg, given by their son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs. Bruce Griffith, other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Victor Miller, Cobourg. The evening was pleasantly spent at the Miller home. Exam, time is aimost here again and al eady the High School's duplicating machine is rolling out some of the mimeographed question-papers that will be an important feature of the pre-Christmas examinations. The work of reviewing the term's work has commenced in most subjects, and everybody wants the students to do well despite the many absences caused by the epidemic of 'flu. Wise parents will help their children achieve good results by ensuring that homework is done at a regular hour every evening. A quiet room is essential for homework, since no student can compete with the radio or T.V. set. Parents should make sure that there is adequate time left for their children to do their homework after the chores and other necessary tasks have been performed. Homework should be allotted definite time in the afmily budget, and should not be squeezed in between less important leisure activities. Parents have a major responsibility for seeing that their child is well rested and free from extra chores and anxieties while the exams, are in progress. The hardest manual labour is less strenuous than writing an examination, and the over-tired or fretful student cannot concentrate properly and fails to come up to standard. By observing these elementary rules parents can assist their children to achieve the best possible results in their school work. A high school student deserves and needs the encouragement and aid of his parents in this connection; it is frequently not realized that learning at high school level is a full-time occupation.
