But nevertheless there is considerable dancing in the schools and nobody worries about ft. These facts were brought out by a discussion before the committee when Mrs. Richard Davidson, for the home and school clubs asked for a little more latitude in the grant- ing of permits for the use of the schools. She suggested that it bad been found impossible to use the schools for small gatherings and refreshments after skatipg parties," "and the parents feel they would like to bg on hand to chaperone the dancing." "Each a yeary" high school has two dances says the supervising prin- cipal. "One for the pupils and one for the ex-pupils. But we call them 'at homes'." "We might call ours 'at homes'," laughed Mrs. Davidson. it was finally decided to suggest to the property committee that the rules be amended. CHARGED WITH THEFT Edmonton, Ailta., Feb. 22.

SOUTH China Store OSHAWA, ONTARIO ASK COAST GUARD T0 D0 MANY TASKS ie Tin (By Canadian Press) [ New York, Feb, 22 --Already the United States Coast Guard has its | quota of folk tales which the sail- ors spin when their long tricks are over, There is for instance the story of an officer who ran a captured rum boat to port on Scotch whisky after his gasoline run out, on the heach at Block Island. The residents, annoyed, . immediately raised a hue and cry for the Coast Guard, The Cutter Red Wing, in| command of Chief Boatswain Oscar Vinge, towed the whale out to sea, inserted a mine in it and blew it up. Again an oil tanker went ashore near Newport, R, I, and its cargo polluted the fashionable swimming heaches. In this case the Coast Guard was forced to notify the com- plaining residents that the remedy was out of its province, The other day a 40-ton locomotive fell overboard in New York har- hor when two car floats crashed. Immediately an 8.0.8, was sent to the Coast Guard, A crank in New Jersey wrote the Coast Guard headquarters telling of a "rum" hound which he possessed that could smell and point a rum hoat several miles at sea. He in- sisted that the United States Coast Guard should equip all its life sav- ing stations with these 'rum' hounds, The height of drolleries was reached when a British rum smug- ging ship, at anchor outside the ter- ritorial waters, broke a trans-At- lantic cable owned by a British firm. The English cable company com- plained to the Coast Guard. Judge: "Why did you assault this man?" Organ Grinder; monk, your honor." Judge: "What did he do?" Organ Grinder: 'He talka rough to da monk; he tella heem he looka like me."
