They don‘t participate in the mad dashes to the guns or in the excitement of the decks. Inâ€" stead, they are away below shovâ€" elling coal for all they are worth. If there is a chase, the stokers have to extend their efforts in the mad endeavor to get steam and more steam. Without their work the ships would. loose headway and wallow in the trough of the waves. And, as they shovel, the stokers know they are caught like rats in a trap. If a torpedo hits they have little chance to get out on deck and away in the boats: They have to keep at their posts until the last moment, and then it is often too late to escape. We are looking forward to seeâ€" ing a record attendance at these gamesâ€"so be on hand early. Teams for the opening games are: Fair Groundsâ€"C.C.M. vs. Millers; Rennies vs. Wes t o n Dairy. â€"Memorial Schoolâ€"Weston Music vs. Weldrest.

Nixon went to Runnymede for a badminton tournament. The girls won a few games but the hostesses were the final winners. ___ ' The moral to our little tale: That is the true beginning of our end. The Metcalfe regiment (the orâ€" chestra) has been forced to disâ€" band due to the heartâ€"chilling nearâ€" ness of examinations and the effect of Spring weather upon its memâ€" bers. But be not disappointed, friends, for they will continue to produce stirring strains in the Aud three times a week, as usual, even though the weekly rehearsals have stopped.. _‘ > & C The plans for the Mother and Daughter Tea have been started and it is to be held sometime at the beginning of June. This year there is to be a dress parade and physical demonstration by t‘l_'le girls. x cousts oo e * ae _ Last Friday afternoon the staff of W.C.1I. clashed with fourth form in a baseball game. The staff seemed to have a slight edge on the Fourth form even on the decisions. Among the teachers are, some fine batters, Mr. Thompson managed to hit a few and Mr. Scott brought in some runs. The teachers‘ team was very good in the infield particularâ€" 1y Mr. Christie on third. On the fourth form team Bruce Lawrence played a good game as catcher. The student team did not seem able to get a hit but the whole game was a fine exhibition of sport. The final score was teachers 12; studâ€" "Say, wasn‘t that simple," hailed one of his pals. "What?" "Oh well," sighed a teacher who had overheard them, "there‘s & gude time coming for those who worked." e oi oe t ents 2 "Devise, wit! Write pen! Alas, my brain won‘t work! Once more, who would not be a boy to learn this stuff all over again? I was not always a man of wige but now my fate is carved out gr‘rpe". "Before I hand this in I‘ll drown this book," thought he, "however, what is writ, is writ, though I would it were worthier". _ __â€"____. At the end of the period he was practically in a state of frenzy. Out of ten questions he had only manâ€" aged to write less than a page. Meanwhile, the inaudible and noiseless foot of Time crept stealthâ€" ily on until at last the fateful day arrived. Blithely the boy entered the classroom but there sat his felâ€" low students staring with foreâ€" heads villainous low at the paper. He, too, gazed at the jumbled maze of questions. Like a pale martyr in a shirt of fire he grimly set to his task but nary a word dripped: from his pen. â€"Very soon he discovered he knew practically nothing. _ _ _ _ Picking up his examination book he handed it to the teacher in charge and ambled dejectedly into the corridor. xn n L ‘"Who led his elephants over the Alps", leered question number one. "I cannot tell what the dickens his name is," he bemoaned and so moved on to the next puzzler.: Perchance you are acquainted with the sad boy who went unpreâ€" pared to try an examination. Well, once upon a time there was a lad who thought that he was quite brilliant enough to pass without having to study. Of his schoolâ€"work he said, "Oh let it serve for tableâ€" talk. It‘s not important, although they do work us dreadfully hard at school. However, of course, we bear it for sufferance is the badge of all our tribe." Next week there will be no Camâ€" pus Comment because of exams but the week after we promise three columns and an editorial. One of the. most remarkable baseball games in the annals of our sporting history was played on Friday afternoon after school. If Jim Blayney who usually hides in a locker on Tuesday mornings can be found, full details will be pubâ€" lished. In preparation for the field day next Saturday, our athletes are straining every â€"muscle and burning up thousands of calories ‘to obtain that peak of perfection which breaks records, furniture and ankles. A â€" houseâ€"toâ€"ho use campaign should show if anyone ever reads this column, or are we just wasting our time and talent on unresponâ€" sive ears.. Most of our reporters plead that the proximity of exams curb their literary efforts to an alarming degree. In fact don‘t be alarmed if recipes, hit parades and personals are published to fill up space.

Starting near the_Milton Kauffman mill, flames raced through a square mile of tinderâ€"dry. forest. before they were checked at sunset.

Using shovels and buci:ets As no changes have been made in the generous regulations perâ€" mitting the free and unhampered interchange of: tourist traffic beâ€" tween Canada and the United States, it is confidently. expected that the coming summer tourist season‘ will. be: a record one in the entry of American citizens into Canada, according to C.

"Operators of Canadian resorts, merchants and others conducting relative activities may therefore expect unprecedenâ€" ted business to come their way this summer as millions of Americans cross the international peace borâ€" der" for & vacation holiday in the Dominion.

He said that "We in England have been encouraged and cheered in these difficult days by the knowledge that Canada stands shoulder to shoulder with us." _ Literally speaking, last week we "tore" apart the Auto Shop, well, this week we are going to tear apart the Drafting Room and enâ€" deavour to discover what makes it "tick". "A peeck a week" is the motto and this week you‘ll get your eyeful. Many of the first year students get the impression that drafting, in the most advanced meaning of the word, ends at the "nail box" layout. Should they ask the drafting .specials about it they would receive a totally different answer. "Drafting" is not. just simple layout work but it involves drawing to scale, measuring with accuracy, looking up handbooks and standards and many other tasks. For instance Jlet‘s trace a job from the sketch to the blueâ€" print..Starting " off, you take a piece of rough sketch paper (which is, incidentally nothing like sandâ€" paper), and you "block out" the view of the object. While you are at this stage you also record all the information necessary for the drawing. From here you go to the drawing board and make a pencil drawing of the object from the sketch. You then follow up with the tracing which may be either pencil or ink. Following up again with a series of movements such as ripping blueprint washing, dryâ€" ing, and trimming you have what is commonly called a "blueprint". So next time you look at a blueâ€" print don‘t think, "my, _ those draftsmen get off easy". By the way if Mr. McLean should look ‘at you suspiciously, and tell you he‘s got you down in the "black book" don‘t get flustered, he means he‘s got a record of the tracing you just made. Promising you something about the brighter side of the elecâ€" t;ifc shop next week, we now sign off. i Vocational Department Here and There By E. V. P.

Word was received at Governâ€" ment House on Friday of the death people will play an important part in shaping the pattern of her futâ€" ure in the days of distress which undoubtedly lie ahead, Hon. Erig W. Cross, Ontario‘s Minister of Welfare and Municial Affairs, told the graduating class of the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, last week at Convocation Hall. "No one can venture a guess as to the effect of the present struggle on our way of living" said Mr. Cross. "We do know that if the war be lost, our way of life is gone forever. But many are. agreed that _ great changes will come in our social picture following the war. That days of social and economic disâ€" tress are ahead of us, no one can doubt." 3 Arrival of 121 additional trainees at St. Thomas on May 10 brought the number of aircraftsmen now training at the R.C.A.F. south of the city well over the 2,000 mark.

But as stated before I have obâ€" tained the council list of those who voted for and against the playâ€" groundsâ€"and will print this vote very late in Decemberâ€"this is not a threat gentlemenâ€"it‘s a promise. The playground situation now looms up more serious than first glancesâ€"with the cut in estimates forcing them to open much later and close much earlier is in itself a serious oneâ€"another : fly now sneaks into the situation in as much as a lot of outstanding sumâ€" mer playground workers are not interested in playground work this year as it means a short season of earningsâ€"and most of these workâ€" ers are students who need a full seasons earnings in order to allow them to continue with their educaâ€" tion and with a short season‘s earnâ€" ings being offered them by the playgrounds they are not the least bit interestedâ€"so now comes the trouble and extra expense of breaking in a lot of new instructors with the ultimate sufferers of all this trouble being the children who look to our playgrounds for their summer vacation. Thank you Mr. Mayor and memâ€" bers of the city council who voted for this reduction in the playâ€" ground estimatesâ€"when you and your families are enjoying themâ€" selves at summer resorts and cotâ€" tages I hope your thoughts will â€"at least allow you to give a few moâ€" ments to the children who will have to spend a few weeks on the streets and backâ€"lanes because of â€" your short sightedness.
