SCHOOL NEWS The cry Carry On was given, its echo resounded through the halls of P. C. V. S., and immediately that call was heeded. You are expected to do your duty was in the air-and who ever heard of a P. C. I.'r shirking his duty! No sooner had the halls been aired to rid them of that final examination odour when the students hurried back to begin summer war work under the fine leadership of Miss Mclntosh and Miss Gerrard. For those girls well acquainted with the ins and outs of sewing there was plenty to sew, for those girls who looked doubtfully at the needle, Wondering which end should be stuck in first-there were plenty of band- Thumbs Up ln P.C.V.S. ages to wind. Everyone was very busy. The summer soon passed with the domestic students doing their cut- ting. sewing, and winding, while the industrial students were plugging along in munition factories, on farms, or in training camps. VVhen school started the time- tables were arranged to give the boys from 3:30 to 4:00 three nights a week, in which to take outdoor ex- ercises and the girls to indulge in knitting and sewing. Again everyone was busy. Boys' chests expanded with that one, two, three stretch g knit- ting and sewing piles climbed higher with that click, click of needles and the buzz of sewing machines. Soon the school became War Savings Stamp conscious. The weekly objective was decided upon and the big drive commenced. Again every one was busy. So far the efforts have been generously rewarded. In fact, the original objective was put to shame and a higher mark has been named. Throughout the term various com- mittees have been planning and carrying out their plans to make money in aid of war work. Papers have been stacked high and carted away, homemade candy has been colorfully packaged and retailed, Christmas decorations have been artistically designed and sold. P.C.V.S. students believe in pulling their own weight. Everyone has been very busy -and shall be to the end. -M. E. BTCCARRELL. Stamps And Certificates Daily the public is reminded from bill boards on every street and radios in every home to buy War Saving Stamps and Certificates re- gularly. But often reminders are not enoughg many times a persuasive salesman is needed to effect the actual sale. According to our success- ful agents there are definitely two ways to go about this business. A clear illustration was given in morn- ing assembly by two short skits. Bob Smith, a so-called stamp salesman, enters the home of Mrs. Jones, a neighbour. Bob slumps into a comfortable chair while Mrs. Jones inquires about the price and number of War Saving Stamps required to receive a Certincate. Salesman Bob mumhles that he isn't quite sure of the price, but he believes about twenty stamps are needed to get a Certificate. The money is returned in fifteen or twenty years. Now don't take his word for it because he's not certain about these details. Yes, if he has time he may call back and get Mrs. Jones' money for some stamps. Of' course, the second skit clearly showed the successful salesman, a dapper, well-spoken boy explaining to Mrs. Van Snort just why she should buy stamps, not forgetting the handsome returns at the end of seven and one-half years. Obliging- ly he offered to call for her money and deliver the stamps. Mrs. Van Snort becomes the regular purchaser.

For some time Miss hlontgomery appeared to be in the midst of a re- forestation project.
