- cleaning fluid, and a pinch of salt, produces an excellent hair lotion, to be taken internallyjf' Flipping over to the Sports Page, we cast a sorrowful eye over College Sports . Graham Stevens is still trying to get enough men out to play six-man rugby for '47. And Beryl Nurse has at last had to give up her cheer leading as applause for her cartwheels had diminished to only ten minutes for each rotation. And Pansy Buchanan is attempting to get permission to enter her team in the VVomen's Rugby Playoffs. Local Stadium officers picked up Dan Thompson, '47 Minister of Publications, for gaining entrance to the Stadium with his '47 Athletic Card. ln defense, graying Mr. Thompson pleaded that he had done it every year since grad- uation. We turn over the Theatre Page and note that jerry Campbell, veteran of twenty years' stage experience, is playing in Mary Markham's latest production, The Celery Leaf . Mr. Campbell Cwho endorses Aqua Velva and is a man of distinctionjenters once on the stage, crunches a fresh celery leaf, and in a burst of fiery passion says, Nurtz , before stamping off the other side. jerce Kitchen is business manager for the production, which we hear goes from Lobo to Komoka next week. joe Kallio has now sent over some clouds to hide the bright sun, and we dig ourselves out from the grandstand and push our way over toward the Achievement Building where the Looton quadruplets are on display. At the door we meet proud Papa Looton who had been given a day off from the University by the head janitor. Toodles spends most of his time selling diamond socks to the students since George has left for a nation- wide tour with his band. VVe ask the local constable, Bill Glover, if that is Looton's Brown Hudson parked over on the other side of the building. ls it in the No Parking Area? asks Constable Glover. Yep , we answer. That's his, allright , replies Constable Bill. Once inside we edge up to the Domestic Science booth, where we find Marg Hahn busily beating up a mixture of dried peanut shells and mayon- naise, which she whips into a luscious cake by the use of a new powder ingredient discovered after years of research by Miss Hahn. Tests have been made in sub-Arctic climates, and Gwen Carlson reports that the new mixture has never frozen as far north as Emo. In the Poultry Building, Dick Ivey proudly displays his pair of White Leghorns who hold the egg-laying record for Middlesex, three triple yokes daily for two weeks then two twelve pound clay bricks. And just as we turn to walk out of the building we see Mary McCormick, of McCormick-Bessent Publications. Mary has just come from the steer- roping contest and is dragging a bedraggled Shorthorn along behind. The cars are starting to leave now, and Dave VVeldon is leading his prize-winning cow home, Dick Ivey is carrying out his pair of white leg- hornsg Alf Mitton has his pepper-sorting diploma under his armg and Frank Bessent tries just once more to balance Oxy's books with Beechie's Brake. We hear some squawks in the Achievement Building as Mr. and Mrs. Looton gather up their brood. One last glance now over the fair grounds. VVhat a wonderful day it has been. to meet again all those people of the Class of '47. Who would ever have guessed that Russ Nightingale would still have been at it, that Al Scorgie would be selling hotdogs and Bill Glover directing traffic. Fair day is over, and we pass on, retaining always the memories of a happy day's reunion with the past, a dream of future hopes, a hope for future dreams. ALLAN J, BARKER JIM W.

Tl1e local bugle Calso owned by Dollarj is reported as saying that a VVestern reunion was held in the VVCTU rooms after the unveiling of the tablet to George Drew, one-time Premier of Ontario, by John A. I am the Law McNee, Federal Minister of Justice. The former Bonnie Lindsay, wife of the author of Bogue's Short History of Middlesex County in Relation to the Cultural Patterns of the Oneidas CComplete and Unabridged in 5 volumes, boxedj was present, and tea was poured by Jean Campbell. Dainty bird-seed rolls were served by Jessie Freeman. I Here's a short note by our Bluevale correspondent: George Thomson, manager of the Bluevale Creamery, gave an interesting talk last night to the Bluevale Board of Trade on the use of dactyllic decameter in the ex- pansion of poetical expression. Mr. Thomson also pointed out that this was the first creamery in VVestern Ontario to employ a psychoanalyist, Professor Donald Huyck, M.A., D.Bov.Sc., who concentrates his efforts on ridding Jerseys of their inhibitions, in an attempt to produce contented cows. Refreshments were enjoyed after the meeting. Another Item: HA. J. Barker, still sending his bills to the USC, was recently elected M.P. for 'Le Bloc Populaire' from Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. He has already threatened to fortify his town unless Ottawa gives in and takes the tax off cheese. It's rumoured that he may be next Prime Minister of Quebec, and he has the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop P. J. Whealen, of Montreal. On the financial page we notice that Bim MacDonald, local broker and industrial typhoon, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Moojuice Milk Bottle Company, producers of a new type of artificial ice milk bottle which keeps the milk cool, and saves washing bottles. Ex- cellent for Picnics , is their slogan. All the milk is supplied by the VVeldon Farms, of which D. B., Jr., is manager, operator, curator, chore-boy and milk-maid. Mr. Weldon's herd, surrounded by swarms of warble flies, beetles, bugs of all descriptions, is famous throughout the township. Fraser L. Thompson, local counsellor of the London Cigar Manufac- turing Company, like its president P. A. Pensa, is apparently a very busy man. In a half-page advertisement, illustrated with photographs of butts in various stages of consumption the Company is trying to prove that the cigars are actually made of tobacco and not from discarded floor mats as claimed by Dr. Herbert Blades and Professor James Longheld of the De- partment of Research of Phoney Merchandise, recently established at the Lucan High School. Norma Sybil McCreery, Ph.D., Ll.D., F.R.E.S., F.R.S.C., was ap- pointed head of the Department of Economics at Western University, the first woman professor to occupy such a post. She attributes her success to a thorough knowledge of Logan and Inman, 'A Social Approach to Economics' and R. G. D. Allen's 'Mathematics for Economists'. Her most recent accomplishment has been a lecture to the local VVomen's Institute. on 'A Demonstration of the Tableau Economique to show the Flow of In- come Through Caradoc Township' . J. W. Johnston, Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary to Eastern Bechuanaland, has returned to Ottawa for a ten-year leave of absence. Said Mr. Johnston, running his fingers through his thick, black curly hair, before a press conference attended by six dictaphones, three television transmitters and the Ottawa correspondent of the Bessent- McCormick Publications, 'I feel that our policy in the present situation is adequate'. tlt seems that Mr. Johnston has found a rare African beetle which, when the left ventricle of its heart is removed, and dried in three tubs of French champagne, two tubs of aviation gasoline, six quarts of 18 ' ' -' '- Mwnvm.s-:wusruiQ1cmvvwuunmnm f-wwf
