ALWAYS LOOK AND ASK FOR . . d O MEATS BURNS 8a CO. tEasternJ LTD. Pioneer Meat Packers of Canada - - Kitchener, Ontario During its years of operation the committee has also sent packages of 1,000 cigarettes each to our nine prisoners of war. These parcels were sent four times during each year. A summary of work of the Parcels' Committee would not be complete without mentioning the fact that copies of the Grumbler were also sent out to all the boys and girls on active service both at home and abroad. With the dawning of peace and the return of our boys from over- seas, the work of the committee has been greatly reduced, although boxes are still being sent, whenever the address is available, to our former students in hospital or in Occupational Forces.

These girls have made a splendid contribution to the success of our Grumbler. They have helped to up- hold the contention that the more students we have engaged in con- structive effort on behalf of the Grumbler, the higher becomes the excellence of our annual publica- tion. -QL- Referees JANE MCGANITY. A XIII B According to a rough estimate there are from fifty to sixty extra- curricular activities in K.C.I. Of these, more than half are pro- grammes requiring a referee or official. This well indicates the great number of officials and authorities that are required. To successfully complete a planned programme such as the extra-curricular one, every event must in itself be a success. To this end and that of declaring a cham- pion, authorities on the rules of the game must be present. It is highly improbable that anyone will refute the decision of the officials. The task of making a satisfac- tory and unbiased decision is in- deed very difficult. But the referees of K.C.I. settle arguments, prevent fights and soothe rumpled tempers with their calm countenances and courteous co-operation. To the referees and officials, who have such a hopeless task, we would like to say thank you and compliment you on a difficult task well done. LQ, The ilverseas Parcels Committee CHARLES CREB. A XII C For almost six years the Over- seas Parcels Committee has been functioning in K.C.I. During that time, thousands of chocolate and toffee bars have been sent to our former students serving overseas or at sea. The replies received have been very gratifying indeed. It seems that nothing means quite as much to the boys as knowing that their old home school hasn't forgotten them. Through the years the Overseas Parcels Committees mail- ing list has grown from practically no names in 1939-40 to over 232 names in 1944.

Vocational Guidance HUGH Cowie. A XIII A One day last fall I dropped in for a chat with our Vice-Principal and Vocational Guidance instructor, Mr. Philp. His office isn't very large and is rather difficult to find, but I'm certainly glad I reached it, for in it was a man who helps and in- spires the students of our school. In the life of every student there comes the time when he or she must choose a vocation. If one is going right to work, or going on to college, the time to decide is very important. To be happy one must be in such work as appeals to him, and, to be at a maximum efliciency, all talents must be utilized. This then is the problem facing the Vo- cational Guidance Counsellor. lVIr. Philp is our Counsellor and has made a distinct contribution to many of us. Of the many problems that face him, there are none which he declines. From straightening out troubled students' worries and getting them started on the right road, to helping me get this article. The wise, generous spirit of Mr. Philp is more and mo1'e an influ- ence in our school, and all who have reason to consult him come away with a new confidence in them- selves, with a profound respect for his judgment and with real grati- tude for his willing manner. WVar Savings ANXE Coxmo. .X XII ti For six years the students of Ii. C. I. have been supporting the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certi- iicates. Since 1940 when the first stamp went on sale the students of this school have been buying many dollars worth each year. Ever since the first sponsor, Mr. Downes, inaugurated the sale of this war-winning commodity, there has been keen interest and firm support. Mr. Fisher, the present sponsor, has been very pleased with the sales during his term of office. Although the war has ended, the sale of stamps goes on, because the financial debt incurred by the war must be taken care of. The story of the power and use of this money has often been told and need not be repeated. The be- nefits of the purchase will be seen in the future. This 1'eport deals with the purchase of this worth- while commodity by a small section of Young Canada. The war has been won. but the peace is not yet secured. The young people of Canada, who during the war, purchased these War Savings Stamps, will now have those war- saved dollars to invest in peacetime development. The winning of the peace will therefore be of concern to all of them. KLEINSCHIVIIDTS LIMITED PLYMOUTH AND CHRYSLER MoToR CARS FARGO TRUCKS 20.3 - 2221 Rim: ST. lixsr llul. T-T317 lllh THE GRUMBLEF2
