Well, it might indeed. < ). J. Silver- tliorne, chair- man of the cen- •or board for (Jntario, has pass- ed the picture for showing in this province. The picture is lab- elled, "Adult Entertainment" and we knaw why. Last summer a friend loaned us the book. It was a tough job to get through all those pages, what with hiding it under the bed every time anyone came near and collapsing from fright the night moth«r asked me what I was reading. To make a long story short, the book is not recommended for juveniles. Not because of anything it contains presenting a new outlook for the younger generation; but mainly because so much time is wasted in the reading, and when you have waded through the some 1400 pages, you are no farther ahead than when you started. See h at the local theatre if you must â€" but forget the book; it really isn't worth the time. As a matter of fact, we know five people who quit reading before they got to page 100. TEEN-TOWN REPORTERS Colbome â€" Beverlie Wilson â€" We now have our bowling club well formed and have a g^eat deal of fun. Since the bowling alley is in Brighton, transportation is ar- ranged by older people of the town who are kind enough to drive us down. There are twenty- four regular bowlers as well as a long sub-list. Our Keen-Klub opened last Friday night. The turnout was much less than we expected, and we hope that the next dance will be better advertised. As I said before we have a very wonderful Choral Group. We also have a very wonderful quartette â€" four boys, "namely: Jim Black- hall, Duncan McGlennon, Donald Campbell and Claire Haynes. Now these boys are really some- thing! Just recently they have sung at two different churches on their anniversaries and recently at the United Church here on November 2nd. That is about all for this time. Milverton â€" Eva Loney â€" At a meeting of the "Keen-Teens" held in the High School recently, a nominating committee appoint- ed at a recent meeting brought forth the names of prospects for Vice-President and Corresponding Secretary. The following is the slate of officers for this year, in- cluding the newly elected council- Tors, Miss Isabel Macbeth and Mrs. Charles Holiderich. Presi- dent, Bruce Spencer; Vice-Presi- dent, Wilma Whitney; Recording Secretary, Bill Zimmerman; Cor- responding Secretary, Helen Bast- cndorff; Treasurer, Margaret Farr. A lengthy discussion followed, concerning the aim of the club. It was readily agreed that the aim should concern the welfare of the community, but what it is to be, was not decided upon entirely. A new location for the club is now in view. To the Correspondents We like to tease. In the not too distant future we are going to have a surprise for you. A chance for all of you to write for this column and there will be a super-prize at the end of each month for the effort that is considered th^ best by your worthy judges. That is all we are telling you at this time. Ain't we the mean one though? Swell That Chest We should have mentioned this a few weeks ago, but better late than never. When we say "help swell that chest" we mean, of course, the Community Chest. This drive for funds helps every- one and although you may give a little or a lot, some of it will come back to you through the or- ganization you are connected with. GIVE, GIVE, GIVE. Long Stockings While medical authorities gen- erally approve bare knees for children, they warn parents that the little ones sliould be drc^.sed in long stockings in damp wcatKcr. Dampness favors chill and the doc- tors point out that it is bad for the children to .sit around class- rooms with chilled legs. Also, they say, chilren shoidd be encouraged to wear rubbers in wet weather, for health's sake. Scottish Remedy Ktturning to tilasgow after a few months' absence, Sandy called at the importing office to chat with his friend, Angus. "My goodness, Angus I" he ex- claimed. "Yc hae lost your terrible stutter. Hoo did ye accomplish h?" "Necessity, Sandy, necessity 1" Angus replied. "I hae been tcle- phonin* America a lot lately." U. S.

Bees were buzzing around, gath- ering nectar from the dandelions blooming on the lawn. Tippy was lying in the sun but it evidently became too hot for comfort so she moved away to the shade of an evergreen. None of this would have been worth telling three months ago â€" but this is Novem- ber! Pretty soon we shall be thinking a magic carpet has car- ried us away to the land "down- under" where they have Christ- mas in summer. So far we haveu't had a fire in the furnace at all â€" which perhaps is just as well, since the pipes are not even up yet. What a saving of fuel this weather has been. Of course there are pessimists who say â€" "We shall pay for this un- seasonable weather later on!" Well, maybe we will â€" on the other hand, maybe we won't. Who can tell? .'\nyway, if a cold spring should lie ahead isn't that all the more reason to enjoy nice weather while we can? Especially now that we have had a little rain â€" not enough, but sufficient to make ploughing possible. So now the farmers are happy. Of course, the first of that long looked for rain had to come on the very d'ly I had arranged for a trip to the city. Can you believe it â€" I was in the city from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and never once W3s I inside a store. But I spent money all tight. My reason for going was to visit an oculist â€" and I wert !.». fear and trembling because I had not made an appointme'it. But I was lucky â€" in twenty minutes he was lucky lo see me. Then after lunching with a friend I set out to visit my in-laws. Here again I took a long chance â€" by not phoning them first. I rang the door-bell. . . no answer. I rang twice more with the .same result. Then I went round to the back but could find no sign of life there either. "Oh well," I said to myself, "there will likely be someone home soon â€" I'll wait on the porch." So I sat on the side of the steps and watch- ed the squirrels at play. Presently Postie came along, pushed open the door of the front entry â€" which I hadn't been able to do â€" and dropped his letters on the mat. "Well, if Postie can open that door, then I can too." So, in re- spon.se to my determined shove the door did openâ€" and there right op- posite to me was my brother-in- law opening ihe inside door to pick up his mail! I don't know which of us was the more sur- prised. "Oh â€" I thought there was no- body home!" 1 .stammered. "And I thought you were some woman out canvassing â€" we have so many of tlicm these days." siMirs UNIMENT Now wasn't that a great recep- tion? At S.30 I met Daughter and af- ter a restaurant meal we went to see "Quiet Week-End." We en- joyed it so much, but I am not sure it would be everyone's idea of a good picture. It was so very English. Partner and I have Just come in from our weekly road inspec- tion. There are several bridges and culverts still unfinished. We can't quite understand the why and wherefore of the bridge construc- tion. It looks as if the water must find itself a new channel before it can flow through the bridges. One man was looking things over and was heard to remark â€" "It just makes me smile to see these en- gineers come along with their tripods and instruments while the old farmers just sit back and laugh. The farmers know very well which way the water should run and they would know the right kind of bridges to build to take care of it too. And you bet they wouldn't need any instruments either. Many of these farmers know a lot more about engineer- ing and such like than white-col- lar men ever give them credit for." Could be the speaker had some- thing there! Poultry Lice Killed While Chickens Roost Soon to appear on the market is a new product manufactured to des- troy poultry lice by a completely and radically new method WILSON'S ROOST PAINT by name, it will reach the poultry raiser in the form of a paint which will be applied by brush to the chicken roos. When the chicken roost, vapors, from the roos paint will rise through the feathers of the chickens and kill poultry lice. This new approach to the problem of getting rid of poultry lice will be welcomed by poultrymen as it does away with the old and slow necessity of dusting each individual chicken with louse powder. WILSON'S ROOST PAINT will be manufactured from a war-de- veloped cliemical by Wilson Labora- tories who, by its production, further lay claim to their boast of being first- in the field of insecticides.
