Teacher No. 2 didn't neod. advice from anyone when it came to putting a school in order. He knew how to wield the "cat. '0 nine tails," and he wielded it with vengeance. But beforehe was teaching a. week he gave me the soundest whipping I ever received. but later discovered that I was not the guilty party ,

”Ncver mind." he soothed. ”I will place this to your credit for future misconduct, and I reckon it won't be long before the ac- count will be balanced."

His prophecy came true. The next day I put sneezing powder .. on the big-bollled stove.

p . . 0 5 when teacher went to his place of boarding for dinner our gang rolled hugr snowballs often weigh- ing a hundred pounds or more. With those we barricaded the door .and kept tho master outside and 'thc girls lusldc. while wr ehrieked with laughter from the shelter of . the wrll-trimmed hedge that stood

br-tween the south side of the School grounds and the nearest house.

By working togethrr. the touch-

Not one of us opened our mouths. We had no comxnsrits to make. The next move was up

to the master. silently we waited for him to open up and crack down on us.

Suddenly his hand went to the drawer of his desk and as sud- denly- it came out--no. not with the cat 0' nine tsll.s- but with thte whittled down broomstlck which was used to point out places on the maps. We pupils looked at each other in amazement. Then we looked at the teacher.

Sllraly he didn't mean to flail us with such :1 weapon. That was his idea. in xi nutshell. Each

of us received five whscks on each hand-there were no gentl-2

strokes either. and there hci ng fourteen of us involved in the snoxvmound episode the t at :11

number of strokes added up to to 1403 Teacher's arm must have XlChPfl from all that whacking. I know that 14 boys went home uurslng swollen hands and began to believe that after all teacher was the real boss of our school. 0 I O

Noon hour was always a gala time in the old country school at Cornwall. In summer we fished in tho nearby mill dam. or walked on top of the thick hedge to the soutlrof the school, or played a sort of baseball game with rules of our own making.

In the winter we skated. fought fierce snowball battles. and tor-

tured thc mull boys as we but been tortured by I generation of bullies before.

Once during the height of I snow battle. Big Hugh Wslkor whamed me smack on the cheek with a. snowball into which he'd placed a tiny stone to give it morn carrying power.

our school literally flovved- or should I say it swarmed with mice of all sizes. There won: little mice no Jonger than the first Joint of a small boy's little finger. We couldn't see them but we could hear them squealing or whatever klnd of A noise they h1ake- in

Scott was their sworn enemy and it was he who look upon hizmself the duty of killing and roasting them when h-is luck ran higlh. Every noon hour Scott would stand in the corner. poker in mud. and whale the dayllghts out of rvery mouse that poked its nose out of a hole. These he'd roast on the top of the big-bellied stove. and threaten to feed them to the screaming girls if they didn't behave themselves and quit interfering with his job of executioner of the mice clans. When not going up and down the aisles on cntlike feet. teacher occupied a large chair in front of R large desk. The desk and chair stood on an elevated platform. so that from his place of vantszc. the master was able to cast on eye down on every pupil and thus nip in the bud most of the schemes forming in the minds of the scholars. I recall one of the boys who had a mania. for put- ting his large head through the frame of broken slates and anath- er whose chief pastime was racing ants up and down his slate, Then there was the girl who always (aimed at the sight of blood. some of the older boys would prick their finger tips with 5. pin and squeezo out Just nnough blood to make the young lady faint. - Not, all the pranks were plsycd during school hours. however.

But the big day - it was after school hours in the late Fall nnd the ice was none too good-- was when Hyde came roaring after us and plummeted right into the water up to his chin. It took him some time to get out of his predicament and he had to man- age it under his own power. Not one of us as much moved I. mus- cle to help him.

Igor Gouzenlio Has No Spy Data For U. S. Senate

OTTAWA. (CF) - Canada has rsglccted the request of a United States Senate investigating com- 1mittee for permission to interview Igor Gouzenko, the Russian em- bassy clerk who exposed his coun. try's wartime espionage in Canada. An External Affairs Department spokesman said Thursday Gout 7.-enko has told Canadian authori- ties he gave all his spy informs- llon to them years ago and thc U. S. has been informed there is no reason for the government- gusrded Russian to talk to Ameri- can investigators.

The Canadian turn-down came on a request, through the U. S. State Department. for an inter- view with Gouzenko in Canada by of the Senate internal security sub-committee, investigating subversive activities.

McCarthy Complains

Senator Joseph McCarthy. who heads another Senate investigat- ing committee. complained of the

action in New York. "It is inconceivable that any friendly government would turn

Alleged Scalp Of Strange Snowman Shown lrlemple

BOMBAY, tR9uters)- Buddhist priests in a. I-limalayan temple have shown Indian mountaineers a scalp claimed to be that of an "abomin- able snowman," the mysterious creature said to inhabit. the region.

An expedition. now rrturned to Bombay after an unsuccessful as- kault on 23,190-foot Mt. Pumori. described the scalp as ”vnry thick." and covered all over with ”red- dlsh-brown . hair."

The "snowman" has been vari- ously deocribed as it giant. mon- ster. halfway bctwcrn man anal lipc. a mountain bear-and purely legend. But the Sherpas. who in- habit the region. regard the "snow-
