Banks, Mr. J. C. Brown and\nMr. A. McKinnon, the three trustees\nwho rarely miss a meeting, were the\nonly members of the board present at\nTuesday's monthly meeting of Cumberland School Trustees. When the\nchairman called for order It looked\nas though the proceedings were going\nto be over In record short time as\nthere was very little business on hand\nbut Principal Apps, who arrived a\nfew minutes late, saved the situation\nby presenting his report for the month\nof November as well as a number of\nrecommendations and proposals from\nthe teaching staff.\nBefore discussing this report,\nSecretary McKinnon read a communication from the local P.T. Association\nthanking the Board for its generous\n(200.00 donation towards the school\nlibrary. Bills and accounts to the\namount of $264.78 were presented to\nthe finance committee and all were\npassed with the exception of one to\nthe amount of (100.00 from Mr. W.\nA. Owen, architect. This account was\nrather an old one but was perfectly\nIn order. Trustee McKinnon fully explaining it. It vim, he said, an account for services rendered In 1920\nwhen It was decided to add another\nstore..* to the new school and for\nwhich Mr. Owen had drawn up the\nnecessary plans. The trustees, however, felt Justified in wlth-holdlng pay\nment of this account until a meeting\nof all Board members could bc held.\nMrs. Banks tendered her report of\nthe recent Trustees Convention held\nIn Victoria but this was not read as\nthose present had already heard it at\na former P. T. meeting. Trustee 1.\nC. Brown, however, commented on\nth excellence of the report \"In fact\"\nhe said, \"It Is more than a report,\nIt Is an address.\"\nThe November school report next\ncame under consideration and was\nordered received and fyled. But attached thereto were several statements from the staff and these kept\nthe trustees busy until nearly nine\no'clock.\nOut of the (200.00 library grant,\nthe report stated, (150.00 worth of\nbooks had already been purchased\non approval from the publishers,\nRUBsel Lang, Toronto. These had\nbeen received nt the school but the\nlibrary committee had seen fit to retain only a number to the value of\n(130.00 and was preparing to return\nthe others. (60.00 of the grant will\nbe used to select books for the high\nschool and the remaining amount\nwlll go toward purchasing books for\nthe general use of all pupils. The\nshipment, Mr. Apps' report went on,\nIncluded some of the best books obtainable for a school library.\nThe senior girls and teachers requested permission to use the school\nSPECIAL MEETING\nOF BASKETBALLERS\nSUNDAY EVENING\nAn Important meeting of all connected with the Cumberland Basketball Association Is called for eight\no'clock Sunday evening In the Lecture Hall of the Cumberland Literary\nand Athletic Association.

This\npermission was given.\nThe next item in the report was\na proposal that if the Board would\npurchase thc necessary ashes and\nfurnish the labor for conditioning the\ntennis courts the teachers would\nsupply the necessary nets and wire\nnetting, although these latter would\nnot be needed until the Spring. Now\nhowever, was an opportune moment\nto put on the ashes. The trustees\nfell heartily in accord with this proposal and gave Mr. McLellan permission to use a sum of not more\nthan (100.00 tor this purpose. Mr.\nMcLellan thought this amount sufficient to secure enough ashes for\nthree courts as well as for paying\nthe necessary labor. Tenders for\nhauling fifty yards of ashes will be\nreceived by the secretary not later\nthan Monday, December 7th.\nThe report concluded with the\nstatement that there would be no\nschool concert this Christmas although one may be held later on In\nthe new year.\nBefore adjournment it waB decided to procure a car of coal for\nthe school furnaces.\nAUNT SUSAN DUE TO\nARRIVE HERE IN\nELEVEN MORE DAYS\nOnly eleven more days ere Aunt\nSusan makes her official visit to our\ncity.

People who cling to the misguided\npolicy of \"doing better\" away from home often\nlose dollars in trying to save pennies.\nThe home merchant is honest and offers you\nhonest values. He can't afford to be otherwise,\nthough he might be inclined to. He depends\nfor his living from the community which he serves and he muat give the community what it\nwants at a fair price.\nWhen you are tempted to trade outside and\nbuy something \"just as good\" at lower prices\nyou should think twice before acting. The merchant himself may have been cheated and he is\ngenerally willing to take the loss rather than\nhave a dissatisfied customer. But the out of\ntown merchant is not personally interested in\nyou. His only hope is to sell you once and he\ndoes not have to take the precautions to preserve\nyour good will.\nMore than owing it to your community to\ntrade at home, thus keeping your money in circulation at home you should give the home merchant the first opportunity to serve you, from a\nsound economic viewpoint.\nSTYLES According to the latest ap-\nHAVE CHANGED proved styles, little boys\nwear long pants and big\nboys wear short pants. We note youngsters\nAS GRAINS The death of an individual, how-\nOF SAND ever prominent, matters very little except to a few immediate relatives and friends. The few who suffer loss\nare as nothing to the millions who, not knowing\nthe deceased, feel no poignant grief at his departure. If everything else that has been written is false, this at least is true and true nuiver-\nsally. No matter who dies, \"the silent brood of\ncare plod on.\"\nViewed from inside our own hearts, some of\nus feel puffed up with importance; viewed from\nwithout we are only units in a vast crowd, each\nunit living its life and then perishing, unmourned\nand uncared for by most of the units around.\nThe only thing of interest to the survivors is the\nrecord of things done.\nThe trees we plant live after us and shelter\ngenerations that follow; the crops we grow feed\nother mouths than ours; our deeds, good or bad.\ndo live on; the good is not \"interred with our\nbones.\" Things done and not merely dreamed\nabout are the things that make us have interest\nin our fellow creatures. And these works must\nbe done without expectation of full recognition.\nAn offering of precious service to the world is\nand must be largely impersonal, for though our\ndeeds may be widespread, our own individuality\nis known to but few. The great achievements\nof history live long after the man or women who\naccomplished those things has passed on. We\nknow the great leaders as names only, impersonal\nthey will always remain, because we never saw\nthem.\nCHAMPAGNE fUPPLY\n\" SHOWS A DECREASE\nFor blessings ever wait on virtuous deeda,\nAnd though a late a sure reward succeeds.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Congrevc\nSHORTTS LAMENT\n\"By Heck\"\nThe hours I spend with thee, dear\nheart,\nAre raughl with Joy and bliss,\nalthough\nAt times I'd like to kick apart\nMy Radio, my Radio.\nEach word a shriek, each song a\nblare,\nBut still I tune and tune in vain\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nI listen in unto the end, and there\nYou screech again.\n\"II\" batteries and ampliphone,\nO tuning coll that makes me cross,\n1 wish that I could cure your static\ngroan,\nBut you're a loss, sweetheart, a\ntotal loss.\nSCHOOL REPORT FOR\nMONTH OF NOVEMBER\n(Continued from Page One)\nfeet attendance 23; number of lates,\n3.
