Last year alone 12,123 sets of lost keys were sent back to their owners 'and in the years since they have been in operation the' number has exceeded 100,000. The keys that are returned in this way, are, of course, those which a finder takes the truble to drop into a nearby mailbox. They are routed by the post office to the War Amputations headquarters where the address of the car owners is on file. This very worthy service provides work for a number of people who have lost a limb or complete eyesight in the fighting services. Naturally it costs something to operate, but the amazing thing is that the War Amps keep it to 60 cents per set of two tags. tae MA plipialiily Fe ' i's ' That is value with a capital "V", and we would R F M E M R F R W H 5 N > commend it to every vehicle owner.

' * 3 through RED CROSS Your nel does so much AF for so many : SUGAR and SPICE Kl IT'S TEACHER'S' CHOICE Rather an interesting time to be a teacher, the spring. Even before the snow has completely: gone, school boards and principals are flipping over logs and stones, in the forlorn hope of finding a teacher under one of them. There are three reasons for the frantic spring scramble. ' The first two are deaths and retirements. The third, and major cause for the panic is the population explosion. Classrooms are multiplying with the rapidity of rabbits. Every one of these classrooms is full of kids. 'And the kids, like baby robins, expect to have some- thing stuffed into them. Therefore, according to tradition, there must be a body, however little it resembles a Momma Robin, standing up there in front of the class, stuffing something--pebbles, or pearl, or even worms--into the gaping maws, "It is the time of year that has principals grinning 'wildly at old teachers, pouring on the charm with potential new ones, snapping at their own wives and biffing their own children about the ears, be-. cause they've heard by the snake-vine--that's the vine that runs from the staffroom to the bridge-club to the Saturday night party to the after-church cof- fee--that they're losing half their staff. It is the time of year that has school board mem- RTT bers deciding to take a holiday in Jamaica, or if they can't afford it, going to bed with the flu. On the one hand are the taxpayers, shouting that school taxes are away out of hand. And on the other hand are other tax-payers, declaring that the board must hire the best possible teachers.

She'd seen Last weekend I was in the city, I out of sheer curiosity it says here, dropped in at the hotel which is the centre of teacher-hiring for the coming year. It was interesting. My first impression was that the whole thing was being run by one of the metropolitan newspapers. This enterprising sheet, in an effort to crack the monopoly on the fat, luscious acreage of teacher- advertising held by another newspaper, had hired half the ground floor, and was passing out free papers, free coffee, free interview - arranging (whatever that is). The only thing missing was free teachers, } Picture an old-fashioned slave-market. New Orleans, 1866. 0.K.?

City schools sang culture: museum, art galleries, theatres, opera. Rural schools heralded hunting, fishing, leisurely living. And both signed people up, on these grounds. : ? : The birds who signed for the city schools will spend all their weekends, and most of their money, going to the country for swimming, fishing, skiing. And the types who head for the country will spend most of their weekends, and money, tearing to town for the shows, the ballet, the bright lights.
