The efforts o! ail of those who feel the writers' urge wiii bc collected by the Literature staff, and with the heip o! some of the teachers the best will be published. to- gether with the general reports on school events. Advertising Saie's Talk to Merchants The question of a printed or mimeographed magazine is sf111 being weighed. If local merchantsi agree to advertise, together with the large Toronto concernis who generally support school maga- zines, the resuit would naturaliy incline to the former alternative. It would be extrernely appreciat- ed by The Screech Owl staff if the merchants would take the fol- lowing points into consideration: 1. A school magazine is a per- manent journal in the hnomes of those who buy it, so that adver- tising space wiil sf111 be viewed 25 vears from now. We have a 1923 issue at hand whichi verifies this. 2. Since the merchants benefit frorn the business the school and its students bring themn through- out the year, they may feel that now is their chance to do B.H.S. a favour in return. 3. It should not be forgotten that B.H.S. is a great advertiser for the town, and hence attracts outside interest, o! no littie value to local business. In 1948 the girls' basketbail teams both advanced f0 the COSSA piaydowns in To- ronto; three pupils frorn B.H.S. won scholarships as a resuit of the June exams; the school swept ail track and field tifles in com- petition vrifh Uxbridge, Port Perry and Whitby: the rugby team became Senior B champions of Ontario; the operetta staged by the school at Commencement was commended by Major McOool, Assistant Director of Music of the Department of EdUcation, as one o! the finest he had witnessed in Ontario in a school the size of B.1 H.S. And the tale continues. 4. The magazine bas a new kind of advertising f0 offer, if it bas appeai. Instead o! coming around for the usuel type, B.H.S. studeýnts will interview the mer- chants and publish, if they so0 TEURSAY, TEB. srd, 1040 desire, any facts, data on stock, anecdotes, history, etc., which they might want their customers to know, some details which gen- eral advertising neyer bringi out.' Students wilI approach the merchants in the next few weeks to poil their opinions on the mat- ter of advertising and if accepted, plans could go ahead for a printed issue. OBITU ARIES MRS.

For Europeans "Reconstruction and rehabilita- tion o! the cultural forces of Eur- ope are Just as important as the cantinent's physical rehabilita- tion," 'Henry G. Birks, president of The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said this week in en- dorsing the March of Books, be- ing conducted joîntly by the Can- adian Library Association and the r Canadian Cauncil for Reconstruc- tion through UNESCO. Purpose of the March o! Books is to collect books and other pub- lications of educational value for distribution ta libraries destroyed or damaged during the war. Lists of books available will be distrib- uted to libraries in Europe and authorities in those countries will make application for any works for which they have a special need. These will -be dispatched from a Canadian book centre in Halifax as applications are receiv- ed. A direct appeal is being made to Canadian libraries and pro- fessional organizations, and local March of Books Committees wili be establlshed in most Canadian centres. Mr. Birks promised support of the carnpaign by Canada's nation- al business organization and urg- ed business generaliy to assist in supplying needed books. "Here is an opportunity to assist in the in- tellectual reconstruction of Eur- ope," Mr. Birks said. "There is a desperate need for books in the universities and other centres o! learning which have been blight- ed by war. Here is a very direct way to help Europe get back on its feet. On behal! o! the 580 member Boards of Trade and Chambers o! Commerce affiliated in our national organization, I most heartily commend this cam- paign."

Drum School Section Sixty Years Ago Told by Sulbscriber (By Norton D. Chambers) From where it derived its name I know not. Standing at the cross roads, two miles west o! Panty- pool, the sehool section extends one mile in each direction. Look- ing each way if is surrounded by hilîs with a railroad cutting, through, dividing if in equal parts. There as a boy, ovor sixty years ega I attended school along with rny young sîsters and broth- ers, the pupils nurnbering eraund twenty-five to thirt. Sundey School (as held there for a number o! years and it is o! some o! the grand aid men who gave o! their fime as superin- tendents thet I w-ish to speak. One oufstandîng namé, cornes before me more than others, Thomas Glenny. Although he %-as neyer rich in money he xvas a devouf Christian gentleman. I cen see hlm now as he walked erly two mies stooped over ivith his, hands behind his back, to lead the Sunde v School. Offon it was x-ery warm and in the latter years o! his life it xves a very weary walk, but be seldom feiied. Often times I guess he thought it w-as for nought, but I fqr one can say his humble teach- ing had a great deal ta do with forming the lives o! saine o! the younger ]ives around Drum School. His home bas noxv passed frorn the name and has become an acreage o! reforestation. Eech year hundreds o! Christmas trees are pientod and cut from its soil but his neme stili liveth.

Many a time he drove him home and when he grew too old to proceed he often took 11im a Sunday School paper. My father was one of the early settiers in this part having corne here from a place called Lachute in Québec. He purchased Our old home which remained in the Chambers nàme for one hundred years, eventually been sold. One of his life long friends was Robert Corbet who lived near Pontypool. I would like, if permitted. at some future time to speak of some of the struggies of these early settiers to obtain a living. In those days hogs sold at $2.75 a cwt. cord of wood, best of Maple dciivered in Bowrnanvi]le $2.50 per cord; No. 1 pine lumber was sold $5.00 per thousand, eggs 8c Per dozen. Men worked for 60e per day and a good hired farm hand $12.00 per month. Despite these smali prices the settiers bought and paid for their farms and raised large familles. Some of thé settlers were the McCul- io'ùighs. Argues, Coulters. Scotts, Byers. My mother*s maiden name was Ann Jane Byers.
