School Newsy Notes Novemlber is here, and we may re- mind you that there are just forty- six days before Christmas. The cold winds and little snow flurries make us chi-fainly prepare for winter. Our mothers have been busy preserving fruit and pickles, andI our fathers see that there is a good full smpply. The animals and birds prepare f0r the long winter days too. The litltle black squirrels around the school have had a busy nutting‘ season. Many of the animals which do no: hibernate have been given extra warm coats of fur and are ready to withstand the stormy winds. For the birds that stay with us all winâ€" ter we should throw out ‘bits of food, because all their food will soon be covered with snow. In the spring we will be rewarded with their grate~ ful songs!

Well, there were over 600 fed, the largest number we have ever had. Were there enough eatalbles? Yes, enough to feed‘ another table or so. The concert which was rather long after the supper, was much enjoyed by mdst of those who stayed to see it through. It would be funny if you ever had a concert that suited! everybody. How tiresome this old world would be if our likes and disâ€" likes were all alike. Many thanks to those from outside dfistricts who were present and helped to make this annual supper such a success; We are working every day at our school magazine. We know that you all will want a copy when you hear about it. We have decided to call it a magazine instead of a news- paper because it resembles a maga- zine with coloured illustrations. Ev- ery pupil from grade one to seven has a part in it, and we are even including cooking hints for the busy housewife. We have received‘ 18 adâ€" vertisements to date, and can ac- commodate a few more. If you have anything to sell or advertise see one of the pupils and you will be de- lighted with the work we will do for you.

YORK COUNTY SOIL TESTING Early last summer, the Agricul- tural Committee of County (Journal in coâ€"operation with the County Ag- ricultural Representative, asked the Chemistry Dept. of the 0.A.C. to conduct a soil fertility survey in York County this year to give farm- ers desirous of improving their crops, any information possible for the building up of our soils. While this type of survey is quite differâ€" ent from the ordinary “soil type" survey, the Dept. of Agriculture reâ€" alized its immediate value to the farmers particularly in the middle of a whole milk producing area. The service was offered to the County on condition that the farmâ€" ers interested would take the soil samples from the fields desired. The Chemistry Dept. undertook to sup- ply bhe soil sample containers and do the testing while the Township Councils with the co-operation of the schools, agreed to collect the samples by townships. In this way farmers had only to leave their parcel of samples at their local school house. Over 500 farmers secured the ne- cessary soil boxes and report forms at the School Fairs in September and 100 more farmers have secured them since. In order to allow for any who failed to get their samples earlier, Mr. Cookburn has arranged for another collection of samples from the schools on Dec. lst as the frost by that time will pernaps have made sampling impossible. This is a wonderful service to the farmers and York is fortunate in being the first to benefit from it. More than fifty members and friends of the Richmond Hill Red Cross Society were guests at the home of Mrs. A. E. Plewman on Friday afternoon at a delightful tea and- demonstration by the hostess in the making of bread and rolls. A short business meeting was held and a silver collection taken in aid of the Red Cross, which with the sale of rolls, added $9.40 to the treasury. The sincere appreciation of the SOâ€" ciety is hereby expressed to Mrs. Plewmaan who made possible this enâ€" joyiable and profitable afternoon. From 3 to 4.30 pm. on Friday, November 10th, the new Sewing anu~ Supply Room in the Post Office building will be open to all those In~ terested; in inspecting the room, and the comipieted Red Cross supplies. A short business meeting will be held between 3.30 and 4 pm. Service was held> from the Funâ€" eral Chapel of Morley S.
