_ This is the story of a man who got _ holid of an idea and didn‘t let lose. / But .oine of the time it looked as if . he had a bear by the tail and that, ~any minute, the bear would turn and 3ifig.ve him. a swipe. Our hero is Gorâ€" ._don L ,and h‘.s address is Medâ€" itra fine fridit‘ should be that: As gflflbfikb@ewsend ; mdl Aâ€"sgimple seernitig that could : ; pu ifi' :H.tt it is amazing ow much over: even . simple féeas will de m‘ "Meqgiord is the cenuer of a ‘truit ‘growing ‘business, and it is proud of the soâ€"called Du Comtce pears. So Mr. Green selected and shipped the first year 50 packages of this fine fruit. . * "How to Win Frient In one year he sent out half a milâ€" lion pieces of adverttsing literature and did over ‘a million dcllars‘ worth of â€"business. People in Californ‘a wrote to Oregon to send gift packages to New York; people in New England ordered them from Medford to be sent to Louisiana. Yes, one should cling to an idea he be)ieve! in. Faith, that‘s the bedrock of acc’omplishment Get an idea you believp in, keep at it until you put it murar C black, a very lovely business color. To evacuate an ancient â€" village, archeologists in the Near : EBast â€" dug through seven debris. Let this be â€"a . warning ‘to . the :â€"sloppy useholder. who . sweeps the . dust undéer a rug. ; This Monday, activitie at ‘the school reached a very swift rate of flow!‘as students girded themselves to do battle with the impcrtant Christâ€" mas exams, ‘A good mark on these m‘dâ€"year exams often means the difâ€" f{ererice between sweating in a hotlyâ€" unbearable classroom and spending the June days* wallowing in â€" leisure with the school exams successfully passed.: In the past, the very wise system of the schocls has been to allow stuâ€" dents with a 60% average on the total marks for an exam at Christmas and Easter to pass in these subjects withâ€" the June exams. It is far easier to make a good mark at Christmas than at Easter as the vclume of work is less and the brittle, stimulating days of December are mere conducive to studying than the lethargic, dreamy ‘atmosphere of the spring months. | Christmas Not The Same Every Christmats someâ€" patriarch is bound to grouchily. claim that" "Christmas is not the same as in my days", in a tcne that would seem to say that the grayâ€"beard had had no fun since the Riel Rebellion. But perhaps the elders are right in some cases. They say that when they were young gettmg the tree was an exquisite ceremony in which the whole family shared.. Now, they conâ€" tinue, thousands of trees are killed every year by the impersonal axe of the Christmas tree dealer, Many famâ€" ilies never see their tree growing in the wcods. Some families even skip the trouble of a tree. Another battleâ€"ground of these sages of departed spirit is the matter of gifts. They â€" deplore the giv‘ng _ of useless trinkets and the high prices of all gift materials. â€"In the old days, gifts were â€" useful items mostly hand made. On the cther hand, in the old days we did _ not have Crosby singing "White Christmas"â€" or Dear Old Santa‘s broadceasts®© from the . North Pole. Christnmias decorations were not so beautiful: or so lavish a long time ago. Then, too, we can hear such joy pro« voking ; Christmas â€" stories . as "The Christmas Carol" by Dickens over ‘the rad‘o. f dear as a useless trinket? After all, think the little folk with enlightening clarity, the useful things would have been bought anyway. But the little extravagances of modern Christmases lend the celebrations a peculiar glamâ€" our to the freckleâ€"faces and pugâ€"noses arounnd your block. Christmas is heaven‘s gift to mankind cn December 20 every year. * O# Feverish preparation is being made for the choir concert.. Mr. Bartlett, is drilling his groups unm@cifully and tickets have already been distributed for sale. The Hiâ€"Y clubs areâ€" rapidly gaining popularity around the school. Cerâ€"â€" tainly Timmins has long stcod in need of such a nondiscriminating group as the YM.C.A. Mr. Birkenshaw, â€" who took charge of the interform rugby: last fall, is also in charge of this club. As this is his first year at the school, we are astcunded at the volume of the extracurricular work he is accomâ€" plishing.. In view of this statement we would like to say a few words. a,, bout the teaching staff in â€"general â€" _ and particular. For.the past few years, we who are students have seen several teachers enter our school. These teachers have stepped.right into their work and certainly have bettered our schobl considerably. But that is exâ€" pected of teachers at any schocl. What. we would like to bring to the attenâ€" tion . of. the taxâ€"payers, the â€"school board and the town in general (if th do not appreciate it already) is t e, things the teachers have dcne after four o‘clock.=> Witness the advent of. ‘Do:’)“CIarke Mr. Birkenshaw, Ed Bartlett, ‘ Mr. Hilts Miss, Anderson and Mr. Jury. With their efforts we have the choir and orchestra, that rugby team that fought down to Sudbury, and various clubs dcing worthwhile jobs. ~Then of course thereâ€"are those teachers who have wourked for years at the school. ‘ ‘ BOMETHING NEW ; , .
