Education is bein- changed where it is becoming of some use to those who wish to remain on the farms. She did not think ail the best brains should go to university, but they should be trained to huild up the rural commun- ities. Miss Macphail mentioned the folk schools in the Scandinavian coun- tries, where the young people are trained and go back to their o^^'n community to make it a better place in which to live. She thought the community should support the school and the school the community.

The best wa> ^to find youi^Wif^ I CUT ELECTRIC PAD TO STOP RADIO STATIC Many of us have at various times had a strong desire to do something when the static becomes too great on our radios, but it remained for a young Flesherton man to attempt to solve the problem his own way, and therefore made himself liable for con- siderable grief. This young man had trouble with certain programs coming in at certain times and placed the blame on a heating pad sometimes used by a neighbor in illness. Last Friday night when the neighbor fam- ily went to 'bed they found their hot pad cut and hacked into about two dozen pieces. After considerable dis- cussion as to who the guilty party would be, it was remembered about this young fellow coming to their home and complaining about the nuis- ance, suggesting it came from their pad. Constable McClean of Flesher- ton and Provincial Constable Black apprehended the chap at the concert in the high school and took him in for questioning. At first he denied all connection with the affair, but finally came clean and related how he had known where the key was placed when the people left the house and how he had gone upstairs and committed the hostile deed. The neighbor wanted it to be a lesson to the guilty party and did no press cha^-^es of house- breaking and damage to property. It should be a lesson to any person to refrain from taking the law into their own hands, especially to enter another person's residence illegally. You're in a quandary: year wife has left the baby with you and you've forgotten the exact time she told you to give him his next "bottle". How to get in touch witli her imme- diately? Vhy, by tele- phone of course! The telephone is a great time and trouble saver in any home, and the cost is jxiat a few cents a day. In New York state fishermen over 70 years of age can have all the fish they need without having to purchase a fishing licence â€" that is if they can catch them. A merchant in London refused to sell a customer potatoes unless he also placed an order for groceries. He was fined £5. the customer having happened to be a food inspector. df i^d or ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stephens of Singhampton- wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Nellie Mildred, to Mr. George Coram, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hustler of Grand Valley, the marriage to take pla^e the latter part of March.
