ALLAN MacKEW Public Speaking Winners Everyone in 12C lias l een feeling ven proud these past few months. Pile reason i that tuey have an inventor in their class. The young “Edison” is none other than Allan MacKcw. Allan was recently given a week’s leave bv Mr M arshall in order to go to Toronto and arrange for the manufacture of his new product. The product in question happens to he something called a “Painter’s Aid.” Allan says that he has always hated a paint can dripping with paint at the sides. So he set out to solve the problem; and after two weeks he came up with a solution. It was a gadget which snaps on to a paint-can and holds the brush in place while it is not in use. The result has been, a spotless paint-can. It seems that Allan is not the only one who likes a clean can. For now his painter’s aid is going to he manufactured by the Commonwealth Industrial Enterprises of Toronto of which Bing Crosby is a share-holder. And now they, together with Mr Marshall and the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, have given Allan such encouragement that he has gone on to invent other useful gadgets. These are. among other things, a device which prevents paint from falling down your brush when you are paint ing a ceiling, and also a toothpaste dispenser and car washer. Allan says these last two are still secret, lie has not patented them as yet. Strange as it may seem. Allan’s ambition is not to be an inventor, lie is interested in medicine. Thus, outside of school work, he literally eats up books on this subject, lie also plays basketball and indulges in a bit of amateur boxing. They ay that the famous Thomas Edison ' s first invention also had something to do with paint. To¬ day they are celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birtn. Who knows but that sometime in the future we may be also celebrating one of Allan . 1 acKew’s birthdays ? RIFLE SHOOTING Four nights a week “after four” from October to May can be heard the crack-crack of the firing as the cadets of No. 24 swing into action. ()ver 200 boys qualified on their annual range course, and dozens received Sniper and Expert Marksmen I adges. The winners of these badges of skill were the best shots in the Corps and should have been promising material for the rifle teams. Unfortun¬ ately several excellent shots in grades l. . 12. 11. 10 did not feel it worth their while to turn out for prac¬ tice. and the rifle teams, working hard for the hon¬ our of the school, had to get along without them. Jn spite of this and of the limited range facilities the faithful members of the teams through persistent efforts week after week increased their skill, so that in the four Ontario and Dominion competitions Patterson ' s averages almost touched .V, .

PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTESTS In the public speaking contests of this year, all of the judges and main of the teachers agreed that the Senior Boys ' Contest w as the best in a long time.

Bob’s topic was “Nazi War Crimes.” and be delivered a most commendable speech. The remaining competitors were Bob Burke and Lawrence LcCapclain. who both gave praise-worthy addresses. In the Senior Curls ' Division, the deserving win¬ ner was Evelyn McNab. who gave a most interest¬ ing speech on India. Ann Fraser was runner-up. Her speech “Why I am proud to be a Canadian.” was appreciated by all of the listeners. The remaining contestant. Wan .a Buckley, was not far behind. The Junior Groups also delivered their orations well. John Howes took the boys’ crown with “In¬ teresting and Unusual Methods of Advertising. Bill Dow dell emerged in second place. Something new i:i the speaking line was given by Anne Nemick, judges choice for Junior Girls. Anne spoke on Felix Mendelssohn.” and completed her oration by singing one of the famous composer’s melodies -On Wings of Song. Cora Davis stood second in the competition.
