With school time here -- when interest is turned to boys (and girls, too) -- we offer the following in the sincere hope that thought will be given to the safety of our children on the streets on their way to and from school. Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood we find a delightful creature called a boy. Boys come in assorted sizes, weights and colours, but all boys have the same creed, to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of very day, and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boys are found everywhere -- on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, ola-er sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. Boy is Truth with dirt on its face. Beauty with a cut on its finger. Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. A boy is a composite -- he has the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower, the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyon, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a fire cracker, and when he makes something he has five thumbs on each hand. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, the boy across the street, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday School, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults or bedtime Nobody else is so early to rise, so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out oftrees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can cram into one pocket a rusty knife, a half-eaten apple, 3 feet of string, 2 gum drops, 6 cents, a sling shot, a chunk of unknown substance and a genuine supersonic code ring, with a secret compartment. A boy is a magical creature -- you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. Might as well give up -- he is vour captor, your jailer, your boss, and your master -- a freckled-face, pint-sized, cat chasing, bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams he can mend them like new with just these two magic words -- "Hi Dad!" So -- Please drive carefully on our Colborne streets. Please drive slowly past schools and at intersections. And please remember that sometimes children run from be-nind parked cars. One of the most precious rights of every boy and girl is the right to live and grow up entirely unhampered by the results of the thoughtlessness of others.

BARRY MORSE Graiton Barn Burns A barn owned by George Harnden, R.R. 1 Eddystone, burned to the ground on Friday afternoon shortly before 4.30 p.m. No cause can be found for the fire but it is believed that the blaze was caused either by the excessive heat or by lightning bolt. Damage is estimated at between $2,000 and 3,000. Cobourg Fire Department, under chief K. R. Baird, answered an alarm but by the time they had arrived at the Harnden farm the barn was beyond saving. In the barn were some farm implements, about 50 bales of hay but no stock.

My mother had told us that Colborne was a big busy place and that we must be careful in crossing the street or we might get run over. I will remember my first day in school, and what a great big school it was in my eyes. My fir$ teacher was Miss Jewell. She was a Colborne girl and lived on Church Street West. I don't think she taught very long for I remember going to a Miss McCracken in the first room also. It is to her that I owe the ability to add quickly and accurately. She used to drill us on a row of figures about a mile long, at least so we thought. The second room was taught by Miss Nichol. She was a good teacher and before I left her room we were the best of friends. We did have quite -in however before we u derstood each other. I had been i some mischief and she called me up to the front. I wouldn't so she came down after me and seizing me by the wrist she pulled but I hung onto the desk for dear life. She was stronger than I however and my hand slipped. The result, Miss Nichol the floor. The rest of the kids roared. So did I but for a different reason. Miss Nichol wielded a mighty influential strap when her temper was up. Miss Gussie Colton taught the third room. She was a fine teacher and a grand person. Her fiancee lived in Vancouver and e unknown reason, she choose me as her mail boy, for which I was designated the teacher's pet. Mr. A. A. (Abram) Gould was the principal of the Public School. He was a fine christian gentleman but even such are apt to make mistakes. He accused me of doing something that I did not do and when I would not confess to it, he had me stand in the co three days. I guess he got discouraged then and let me go to my seat. He retired shortly after and our new teacher was Mr. D. W. Massey. He was rather small and most distinguishable by his dress. Striped trousers, long cut-away coat, wing collar and red knitted tie. Mr. Massey managed to get me through the two senior grades and into the High School, which, believe me, was some accomplishment. Next week I'll tell you something about the stores in those early days. ROTARY The Colborne Rotary Club held their regular weekly meeting in the form of a corn roast on Monday.
