Another Teacher Added To High School Staff; Two Extra Rooms For Qasses Hail Damaged Crops In Swinton Park District Hiii-l did an immense amount jf diiniage in Proton Township Monday ''vening of this week in one of the many electrical storms which occurr- ed throughout the district. The hail storm started in Egremont Town- ship and travelled straight down th" 18th Concession of Proton Township, taking a swath about two miles in -.vidth. The grain crops were flatt- ened in the fields, most of th^m only being fit for green feed. Houses had windows demolished by the score by the large hail stones, which covered the ground in maUy places some of the stones being as large as pigeon eggs. The heavy rains again gave the raying- operations another severe setback. Some fai-m^rs have finish- ed their haying, and the wheat crop is now almost ready to cut. Due to a change in the boundaries of the Ariemesia-Flesherton school area, the high school board are tak ing steps to provide the necessar;, accomjnodation for the expected in- crease in attendance at the school. Two new class rooms are being pro- vided, the auditorium being divided to provide the necessary space, and work has already commenced on the alterations. Mew bus routes will bv. necessary for the transpoi-tatio.! of the pupils, but these have not yet been drawn up by the board. A fifth teacher for the school has been secured, Mr. C. John Armitag.' of Toronto signing the contract last week. The other teachers will be: Principal K. G, Goheen, Mrs. Gohee", Mr. Murray Juffs and Miss Eleanor Heron. Thos. Banks Left With Squadron For Korea Walkerton 3, Flesherton 1 Flesherton juniors lost their last league schedule game at Walkerton on Thursday, with the home team taking a lead in the first inning with one i-un and adding two more in the second. Flesherton counted their on'i run in the third inning. Failconer had ten strike-outs to his credit, while the Walkerton pitcher had nine. Falcon- gave two more hits than the opposi- tion, but a couple errors made the difl'erence in such a close game. It was one of the best games played FRls season. Several times runners were on second and third, but a rnn could not be scjueezed across. Both pitchers were good in the pinch. The league play-offs will start in :' short time, but what teams will be meeting each other is not known a: the present time, according to infor- mation given The .Advance, The fine Oliver trophy is on display in th--' window of the .\ndrews barber shop and many comments have been heard on its appearance.

Speaking On Floods With the disastrous Manitoba flood stiil vivid in most people's minds, a I'cw words about water control and drainage might not be amiss. The conti-ol of water has long been recog- nized as a responsibility of not only the state but the individual as well. .\lmost four hundred years before tre birth of Christ the great Greek phil- nsopher. Plato, wrote in his "Laws'' the following: "If there be a heavy rain and oiU' of those on the lower ground injures some tiller of the upper ground, or seme one who has a common wall re- fuses to give his neighbor an outle- for water; or. again, if some one liv- ing on the higher ground recklessly lets off the water on his lower neigh- bor, and they cannot come to terms with one another let him, if he will, summon the offender, if he be in the city before the warden of the city and if he be in the country before the warden of the country, and let him obtain a decision determining what '"iich of them is to do. .And he whr. will not abide by the decision shall sufl'er for his morose and malignant temper, and pay a fine equivalent to double the value of the injury, be- cause he was un-willing to submit to the magistrate.
