Literary Society The High School Literary held last Thursday at four o'clock was of a very high calibre. The program presented by Form 2, together with the "Astonishcr" was undoubtedly the best so far this year. A French chorus by the second form girls was followed by an amusing dialogue by Evelyn Brown and Mer- vin McFadden, also in the French dialect. Bessie Cairns then sang u delightful solo accompanied by Isobei McMullen. A humorous reading from of Bessborough, on' Stephen Leacock's Literary Lapses, Aasoc. Editor Editor A NEEDED TKECEDENT , , her journey to her home in England, I wa " given by Gordon Patterson. Tho for her first over-sea holiday since ' program was here varied by the Form Canada as' - Orchestra, composed of Jean her husband came to Governor-General, sails from Halifax on Saturday next. In preferring the Canadian route the vice-regal folk sat a good example to some of Canada's : public men who almost invariably j ver X humorous, prefer to use United States steam- ships when they go abroad. Note- worthy instances of this slighting of Canad' - n ships and routes are given Ly an Ottawa correspondent, who points out that when the recent trade conference between New Zealand anc Canada was held our commissioners not only chose a United States island for the meeting place, but travelled home by way of San Fran- cisco on a U. S. boat, paying, 01 course, a heavy discount on the fare. Not to be outdone in their "liberality," points out the correspondent, the Canadian delegation to the Geneva Peace Conference spurned the Can- adian steamshipjs regularly sailing from our ocean ports and took a Clerman boat from New York. A nice example to set to ordinary travellers, and scarcely a proper ex- penditure of good Canadian money in these days of shortage of national revenue. These public beneficiaries might well be made to follow the example of their Excellencies, whose patriotism and pride in our instutions are indeed admirable. EDITORIAL NOTES Will Henry Ford send a peace ship to Japan. stencroft, Bessie Cairns and Milford Piper and who were enthusiastically encored. Another dialogue by Richard Stewart and James McCormack was very humorous. Following a chorus by the girls, the Astonisher was ably read by Iren Martin. The principal, Mr. Thibaudeau, con- cluded the program with a short ad- dress, in which he showed the folly of wit and humor, which had to in- clude the names of students. He BOND SELLING CAMPAIGN SUCCESS IN SOUTH GREY The Bond Selling Campaign to raise funds for the work of the Ontario Boys' Work Board was an unqualified success, as iar as South Grey is concerned. With an obiectivn of $110 to aim at the groups comprising this district rai;ed ?262.75, almost two and a half times the objective Hanover led the field with $121.50 Durham followed next wi?h $91.75 Holstein and Dromore raised $31.51, and Flesherton had $18 as their total. Eve-;v 'boy selling $5.00 of bond? is awarded a brmze medal by the Ontario Board. Those selling $14.00 worth receive a silver medal and those who reach the $50.00 mark ge; a gold medal. These awards are not then complimented the editorial staff vet announced from Toronto, but It ' * 'is expected they will be in the nox- of (!hc paper which had just been read and which was entirely free of personalities. The principal conclud- ed by admonishing the students to cultivate a more serious attitude in view of present world conditions Tho meeting closed with the Nation?. Anthem. Letter From John Boyd Dear Sir I trust you and your estimable wife are enjoying good h-:alth and at least your share of prosperity which circumstances arc applicable to myself for which we are extremely thankful. These are strenuous times although locally here we arc giving out very little relief to our citizens and while it is costing our city a lot of money for relief the major portion is being fow Fire caused by the explosion of a lantern in the haymow, destroyed the bank barn, with live stock, implements and grain, on the farm of Thomas Mc- Kerr, in Equesing Township, north ol Milton. The South Grey Boys' Work Board has four special awards for the boys selling the highest amount in each of the four centres. The results to date as received by the secretary shoWthe standing as follows: Clyde McCallum, Durham |53.bO Wesley Wright, Hanover 36.50 Fred Mather, Holstein 15.00 Tom Banks, Flesherton , 5.0d Burton Bellamy, Flesherton .... 5.0C The boy selling the highest amount is entitled to a week at the summer camp at Holstein free, and the other four are each entitled to the week at camp at half the regular fee. These awards must naturally wait on a meeting of the Grey Boys' Work Board, when they will be satisfied and awarded. The local Board is naturally elated Shat the campaign should be such a success the first year of organization and is looking forward to a year ol real achievement. distant we shall often meet with you j at oice the impression that she war a person of more experience than her years would indicate. But it was when she began to speak that we were amazed by her maturity of thought Unassuming in manner, charming, even, her voice hnd a ring of author- ity, which showed beyond a doubt that her views were her own, not because she happened to belong to a politically minded family for three generations, as sue told us, or because she was :. member of the British Labor Party, but because she had thought out what she believed and was ready to stand We earnestly wish that you may en- ' joy many happy and prosperous years in your new home.

PRESENTATIONS A social evening was recently held in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Plantt who were leaving for their farm pur- "hasecl from Mr. Thus. Taylor, near Portlaw. Mrs. John 'TcKee read the address and Messrs. Aibert Blackburn e Fisher presented them some chair and book rack address was as follow?,: dresses. Clearly and concisely she outlined the British political situation as she saw it. The labor party in parliament had been torn between two courses cif action. The one section, headed by Ramsay MacDonald, had held that as the labor government was a min- ority government, it was powerless to pass legislation without the assistance of one of the two old parties. Hence A crate of eggs was offered at auction in Hamilton one day recently, but there were no bidders. The 'hen fruit' had come from China, packed 1 1 clay), and were believed to be 30 years old. Along with other Chinese goods they had been seized by excise officials in a search for narcotics. Mr. I. B. Lucas jr., of Markdale. who has been unwell recently, under- went an operation in Toronto and is making a satisfactory recovery. Then again, some of us might be better able to chase the wolf from the door if we could just keep the entrance to the garage closed so thai the kids couldn't get the car out. Why worry? asks the Listowel Banner. And now we can sit down and worry why so many people worry when there is really nothing to worry about. Small Advts. For Sale FOR SALE Young pigs.
