Mr. Dye was warm in his praise of the valedictory given, and emphasized the excerpt: "The thing to do is to do a good job on the work before you toâ€" day." This applies to situdents as well as war workers. In relating an epiâ€" sode of his own past he quoted words of wisdom.

"The world is going to need educated | men and women and the only way to build victory toemorrow is upon a foundâ€" ation of ssuccess today. "As our leader,. Winston Churchili, said: "If we waste our yvesterday we "This is our farewell to a school which has been a home for five years, a home that drew as together in work and play; showed us happiness;; avoidâ€" ed sorrow helped us on when all seemed lost: taught us the rules that must carâ€" ry us through life â€" the rules of good citizenwaip ,.and the traditions of the British and the Empire Commonwealth have lost tomorrow." This idea of serâ€" vice is paramount with our school staff we cannot thank them enough for the kind, patient, and encouraging way in which they have conducted us through our irresponsible schoolâ€"days, to the more serious aspect of manhood and womanhood. "The Service of a teacher goes on the same in war and peace. Theirs is a li‘e of service and devotion at all times. "Mr. Lemay, one of our former teachâ€" ers, is now serving as; a radio technician in â€"the A. F.

Fire Chief at south Porcupine Issues Warning Asks Coâ€"operation of Public Regarding Christmas Deâ€" corations. South Porcupine, Dec. 9th. Special to The Advance. The Fire Chief wishes to call special attention to the following warning just issued from the Fire Marshall‘s office. As a result of the recent disastrous fire in Bosion where 490 persons lost their lives due to highly inflammable decorations catching fire; fire chieis are requested to warn the public and to make inspection of all public buildâ€" ings, stores, etc.; to prohibit the extenâ€" sive use of paper, cotton wool, or other flammable material usually used at Christmas time for decorating purposes. Christmas trees catch fire very easily i and auickly; in fact they go up like a | powder fuse after being indoors a few | daysâ€"it is recommended not to use trees any more than necessary, and in | any case they should be fire-proofed.l Small electric light bulbs for Christmas trees are prohibited now because sufâ€" ficient care has not been taken to keep ‘he hesated bulb away f‘rom the pine! or balsam boughs, and in no case will lighted candles be allowed on trees or | near any type of decorations. It is realized that such restriction may interféere with Christmas festivâ€" ities but it is best to play safe, and not have to suffer burns and possible loss of lifs and property, when a few wellâ€" meant words of warning may prevent any such accident. The Fire Chief asks for your coâ€" operation in this matter and any adâ€" his assistant M. H. Pyfe operation i vice will be doubt. InspEéction will be made in the schools, churches, and all places of public entertainment to check on the above, and to prevent any crowded conâ€" ditions which could arise.
