in Eastern Townships Area .Sibaated in the County of Mis-land, where Monsigneur of St.srsquoi, on the banks of the Yamaska Val;\u20acr £pent tw0 years in captivity.River, the town of Farnham, com-\tx ,\t,\t.\t* prising the western part of the The PreEent t'own was known ln xhe Township of Farnham, has become early days, as West Farnham, in one of the leading industrial and railway centres of the Eastern Townships.The town was included in the ecclesiastical parish of St.Romuald-de-Farnham, which was founded in 1850, and was instituted canonically in the following year.In 1854 it was established as a civic municipality, and was incorporated as a town on December 28th, 1876.Naturally endowed as an industrial centre, Farnham is favored by an abundant supply of electric power furnished by the Southern Canada Power Company.As a railroad centre, it is the divisional point of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and is also served by the Canadian National Railway.Further ideal communications are provided by the Marieville - Cowansville highway which runs through the town and is thirty-nine miles from Montreal.Farnham\u2019s history takes us back ¦to the days of 1798, when the Towrn-ship of Farnham was first opened for colonization.However, it was not until some years later that settlement was made on the present site of the town.The town was named after a little Surrey village, in Eng* customers.Frelighsburg Object Of Plunder By Sympathizers In War Of 1812 The Colonel Dies \u2014 Alone order to distinguish it from the little village of East Farnham.Modern Farnham is equipped with up-to-date hotel accommodations where tourists are assured of a fine welcome.There are also three banks, namely the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian National Bank, also a Custom Office.A Roman Catholic College for boys was erected in 1875, a convent for girls, built in 1873 and the Ecole Ste.Famille, for day pupils.It also has a Roman Catholic Church, Anglican and United Churches of Canada.A water supply system owned and operated by the municipality which also has a fine filtration plant, installed at a cost of $124,000, assures the citizens of pure water.One of the town\u2019s latest improvements, was a modern market building, comprising an area of thinty-five hundred square feet, the cellar of which is us-ed by the town as a work shop.The building was completed at a cost of $14,0t/0.Strict health inspection is carried on here before the products are sold to the Closely interwoven with tire history of Philipsburg, St.Armand and Cook\u2019s Corner, the village of Frelighsburg has witnessed one of the most two-fisted periods in the building of early Canada, figuring in the war of 1812-13-14 by being the object of plunder by the sympathizers.Six years before the grants were taken up for the parishes of St.Armand East and West, in 1790 John S.Gibson, the first settler of Frelighsburg built his log house near the site where the grist mill now stands.But Gibson, whose blood throbbed with the love of adventure, soon disposed of his holdings for a dog, to a man named Owens, and made off to seek new paths in the vast unexplored wilderness.In 1794, Owens built the first grist mill and served the people of the district in a radius of thirty miles.Two years later, Owens sold out to Conroy and Yuman, who enlarged the grist mill and built a saw mill on the opposite side of the river.Conroy and Yuman sold their property and rights, in addition to some two hundred acres of land, to Abram Freligh, of Albany, New York, for $4,000.From this man, originated the name of Frelighsburg, and his son, Richard, (one of eleven children), became a member of the Provincial Parliament, representing Mis-sisquoi District.The first Town House and Academy were erected in 1860, and although remodelled, both of these buildings today occupy their ori ginal sites.However, the Academy has been reverted in status to an intermediate school.Frelighsburg Village became in corporated in January 23, 1867, the year of Confederation, and held its first Council meeting on January 31st, whe,i J.D.Seymour was elected the first Mayor.During the Fenian Raids of 1866-67, Frelighsburg was attacked and plundered by the marauders, who f # p - I il! i i ni il *, 4;*', j ¦Hill! ^ à.-.\t., .In the dramatic photo, above, the

meet this emergency.Colonel David Westover, organized a group of volunteers into the \u201cHome Guard®\u201d and repulsed the invaders.One tragic incident in con-nectio-n with the raid was the shooting of an old lady who was deaf, Miss Vincent.Miss Vincent lived at Eccles Hill, where the \u201cHome Guards\u201d were stationed at the time, and instructions had been issued that no person was to cross the dead line after dark.Leaving her home in order to fetch a pail of water, Miss Vincent was seen by the guard and commanded to halt.Being deaf, she did not hear the command and after two warnings had been given, she was fired upon and killed, In tribute to her memory, a tablet was erected by the 7th Royal Fusiliers at the spot where the incident had occurred.This tablet has been kept in a good state of preservation.Later, in the early part of the twentieth century, a monument was erected at Eccles Hill to commemorate the \u201cRepulses of the Jfenians,\u201d by the Brome and Missisquoi Historical Society.The railroad made its appearance in Frelighsburg in the late seventies, and this village was considered by the builders as an advantageous one since it marked the nearest route to Boston from Montreal.Following the river out to the south, few hills were encountered, and trains ran along that line with little difficulty, and before long, the little village boomed with prosperity.However, after several year's of non-operation, this railway line was rebuilt in 1901 by the C.V.R.R.as a result of the ceaseless efforts of D.Meigs, M.P.and Dr.N.Smith, and the road paid good dividends to the company until it was taken over by the C.N.R.In 1931, however, passenger service ceased, and only freight trains operated at a rate of one a week.The road bed is still kept in condition by section hands.Today, Frelighsburg is a striving little community, where citizens are constantly striving for its development and progress.Insure With MISSISQUOI & ROUVILLE MUTUAL FIRE

five years of war the record of the linoleum Industry can be considered not only creditable but in some respects really remarkable, for in spite of the many difficulties confronting it and the increased public demand, it has maintained civilian output to a large degree, while at the same time making huge quantities of essential war materials, writes Archie F.Baillie, .\u2019resident and Managing Director of the Dominion Jilcloth and Linoleum Co., Ltd.Many of the main supplies are still not available while others are greatly curtailed and allotments insufficient for the industry\u2019s needs.Restrictions on the use of important materials, together with the labor shortage, have made it impossible to supply the whole country with its full requirements of the various products, which in pre-war days the industry was well able to do.ARCHIE F.BAILLIE While substitutes have been found and new processes developed, a large part of the plant and equipment has been converted to war purposes.During the past year the war departments of the industry were exceedingly active, in fact the aircraft branch, which had been doubled in size the year before, has greatly increased its production, requiring the; employment of additional numbers of skilled craftsmen and women.Parts and assemblies were turned out in large qualities for the following aircraft: the Mosquito, the Catalina, the Anson Trainer, the Helldiver and 1 the Bolingbroke.The oilcloth division of the industry, so well-equipped for the treat-1 meat of fabrics, has been busily engaged throughout the year, chiefly on the proofing of cotton duck, resulting in the production of millions of yards of tarpaulin material for army vehicles, cargo covers and other war transport.All materials of this kind, as well as camouflaged cloth ami netting, tents, rope, thread, etc., have been subjected to special processes insuring resistance to water, mildew, flame, gas, Arctic weather.Battleship linoleums and kindred products were again greatly in demand by the Government for the shipbuilding programme and, in addition, large quantities were required for military buildings of all types, hospitals, etc.Now that the time is approachi-ng when war contracts will probably be completed, industry must revert to the many problems of conversion to peace-time production.Insofar as the linoleum industry is concerned plans are well in hand and all that remains to return to a high volume of civilian production is the lifting of Government restrictions and the re-opening of trade routes and shipping facilities, since our raw materials are drawn from all over the world.The linoleum industry, like all other progressive industries, is doing some post-war planning.Quick to adapt itself to war conditions, this industry will be equally alert in preparing for the needs of a peaceful world.In post-war Canada there will be thousands of new houses to build.There will be new hotels, schools, hospitals and buildings of every kind.Some of these buildings will be entirely new in design, unlike any seen in Canada before.Others will be along standard lines, similar to those in existence today.In all of them will be a place for linoleum, the product designed and made yesterday for the world of tomorrow.While the war continues and until victory is won, construction across Canada will be limited to essential buildings.Linoleum will be used in a great many of these buildings, but it must be sold and used only where it is necessary and where it is serving some useful civilian or military purpose.Linoleum, however, the flooring that is on active service today, will be back in the houses, offices and public buildings of the future and in the post-war world linoleum and its allied products will be an integral part of the buildings of all types that will house the citizens of tomorrow.PEACE-TIME FLYING TO BE CHEAP, EASY London, Feb.24.\u2014 (S\u2019) \u2014A

Bedford, and its early settlers ministered to their sick as best they knew how, frequently making use of the ancient legendary types of remedies.It was the will of a people.the spirit and teamwork of a people, that saw these pioneers through some of the most trying times, and finally rewarded their efforts with the arrival of new settlers to this progressive community.All were intent upon building for the future.All worked with a vision of a better life before them.The first doctor of Bedford, Dr.Calvin May, came to St.Armand in , 1800 and was later succeeded in practice by his son, Dr.Horatio Nelson May.Reverend Lorenzo Dow was the first clergyman who went ! about ministering to the scattered 1 population of the district.These .were the first forerunners of the | present group of professional men, land were followed by an ever-j increasing number of newcomers, i | Abraham Lampman built a saw and grist mill about 1801 but a flood ( carried them downstream three years later, and they were not re-: built for eleven years.\ti | With the primitive factory oper- ' ating in full swing, it did not take very long before their output was much greater than that which was required to fill the needs of the district, and this surplus found its way ; to markets distant from the locality.I For many years following, arti-1 sans went about the country-side, working individually, attending to the needs of the farmers by making small farming tools.In their scattered shops, they supplied farmers with horse shoes and carried on general iron work, crudely fashioning spades, shovels, axes, hoes, scythes, forks, rakes and other vital agricultural necessaries.After being in existence for some considerable time, these conditions were finally remedied when Martin Rice came from Rhode Island and in 1812 built I what was then called a \u201ctrip hammer shop\u201d in Bedford.This was the town\u2019s first mechanical iron working | factory.\ti I Bedford\u2019s first industrial effort was put into operation in order to supply the needs of the local community, and although in many cases ^he settlers were compelled to rely \u2018upon their own resources, men were ! trained and works were established with this aim in view, Since its foundation, the Bedford community had led an almost total isolated existence, but with the growth and development of its prosperity and re-1 sources, the outsider was soon at-| traded and the establishment of wider industrial services were soon to be seen.The Boston firm of Messrs.Burke and Hobart established a large tannery some time during the early twenties, which did a considerable amount of business, and the prod-1 nets were shipped to New York and ! New England by way of Lake Cham-! plain.The sheds and vats of this plant extended several hundred feet along the river side.In the summer of 1832, the entire tannery, together with many hundreds of cords of hemlock bark, was destroyed by fire, If was never rebuilt.In 1834, a weekly newspaper was published at Bedford under the name of the \u201cMissisquoi Post,\u2019\u2019 and thus the growing community added another milestone to its progress.Forests of the district were giving way to the sturdy effort of the pioneer, and the landscape was becoming dotted with farms.Agriculture was and still is the dominant industry, A factory operated by Zeno Faber, of Southern Vermont, was primarily designed for making axes but performed any work along the line of iron working that might be offered.Periodically, other lines of farm tools were produced, such as scythes, cradles, hoes, forks and other accessories until a fairly complete line was being made.Due to the excellence of these products, they soon became known throughout the surrounding area and a wider market was established for them.About seventy years ago, a Bedford man named William Corey, left his farm and went to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he succeeded as a manufacturer of a latchknitting needle.Mr.Corey conceived the idea of establishing a needle manufacturing plant in his own home town, and some years latsr carried out his plan.This factory functioned successfully for many years, and some year» ago was bought by the Torrington Company, of Tornngton, Connecticut, who made several additions to the original plant, employing several hundred hands and marketing their output in every civilized country in the world.FIVE-MEMBER BOARD TO REDRAW BORDERS London, Feb.24.\u2014\u2014Prospects jof a \u201cfeminist\u201d controversy are j seen in the Government\u2019s announce-.ment that a five-member board will ! redraw the map of England and I Wales after studying the various (divisions of local government.The White Paper on municipal reform doesn\u2019t specifically say the five members are to be men but the official attitude seems to be: \u201cWell, after all, these problems have been studied much more by men than by women.\u201d The possibility of a woman being [among the \u201cbig five\u201d doesn\u2019t seem to have been considered.But the plan will be discussed in Parliament next month and women members are expected to raise the matter.It will be argued, presumably, that women nowadays are playing a much greater part in local government\u2014women are mayors of a number of British towns\u2014and that women live in local surround- ings much more than men.Another contention will be that the redrawing of municipal boundaries may ultimately influence things which concern every woman, such as bus and tram services, electricity and water supplies, housing, schools, hospitals and other public services.BABY HALTS MARINE ALTHOUGH MEN FAIL Somewhere in the Pacific, Feb, 24.-\u2014'CP;\u2014When Laurence E.McCann, of Indianapolis, and his buddy start- ed into a Japanese shelter, where they saw a woman with a crying infant in her arms, they were attacked by an enemy soldier.McCann\u2019s companion was cut on the hand with a saber.After the Americans ran from the shelter, McCann was about to hurl a grenade when the baby cried again.\u201cI can\u2019t do it,\u201d he said ancj an interpreter was summoned.Two Japanese soldiers, two women and the infant were persuaded to become prisoners rather than be killed.¦wæiMi SWMOT* l!F!

V4.SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1945.Close Attention Being Given Post-War Civil Flying mm*1'\"- Concrete Planning And Agreement On Future Of Post-War Commercial Aviation Now Seen As Necessity The outstanding trend in commercial air affairs during the past year has been the consideration given to post-war civil aviation, writes H .Symington, C.M.G., K.C., President of j Trans-Canada Air Lines.The war has now advanced to a point where , concrete planning and agreement on the future' of post-war commercial aviation can be under- ; taken realistically.Indeed such activity is a present necessity because the economic founda-1 lions of a peaceful world will undoubtedly find| much of their strength or their weakness in the ! use to which mankind puts its skies, while inter-| national goodwill and the avoidance of future ; armed conflicts will likewise be dependent upon sane organization of the air.At Montreal a conference of the Common- j wealth and Empire nations was held to deal with j H.SYMINGTON Commonwealth organization and communications I and immediately thereafter at Chicago a World Conference, composed of representatives of fifty-two United Nations and Neutrals, sat for over six weeks.At these major conferences great work was done both on the organization and technical sides.A World Convention was signed giving birth to the International Civil Aviation Organization.While complete agreement on various phases was not reached, there was an international standardization of technical equipment and procedures, a meeting of minds on some of the broader problems of post-war aviation and matters of difference were referred to an interim council for further study and report.The foundations have therefore been laid.Both at the Commonwealth gathering and at the Chicago Conference Canada played a leading role out of proportion to its population but commensurate with its aviation experience aud potentialities.For nations are more aware of the transportation realities of tomorrow and none have devoted more thought and energy in its preparation.Trans-Canada Air Lines, as the.designated instrument of the Canadian Government in both international and main line domestic operations, is in the midst of this activity.Its role is not a passive one.Not only is the Company accumulating its .eventh year of experience on a far-flung transcontinental route, but it has already become a veteran of wartime North Atlantic flying and many members of its staff have participated as experts in international discussions When the time comes for aviation\u2019s full peace-time fruition, T.C.A.hopes to be ready.Its record is indicative of the skills that have been acquired by the airline since its birth in the summer of 1937.The Canadian Government Trans-Atlantic Air Service, a scheduled operation undertaken by T.C.A.quite apart from the domestic services, accelerated the carriage of passengers on urgent war business, of high priority freight and of mail bound to and from Canada\u2019s armed forces overseas.Although operating under great difficulties, the addition of more modified Lancaster-type aircraft, more flight crews and more trained maintenance personnel resulted in increased schedules.Individual mail loads of as much as three tons were commonplace.Existing non-stop flight records were bettered on several occasions.Within Canada, T.C.A.routes remained relatively constant during the year, with efforts being directed towards the maximum wartime utilization of present facilities and equipment.In July, some adjustments were made in Maritimes services in an effort to bring main line operations closer to the cities of Saint John and Fredericton, and to provide direct flights between Halifax and Sydney.Domestic routes now total 5,290 miles, including an east-west service from St.John\u2019s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, B.C., and north-south branches reaching into New York, London, Windsor, Calgary and Edmonton.During 1944, T.C.A.aircraft flew 9,144,000 revenue miles (last two months estimated), an increase of 889,181 over 1943.Traffic continued to mount as it has during each of T.C.A.\u2019s seven years of life \u2014 although not to the same extent as in the past due to near capacity utilization of available aircraft.Passengers numbered 157,800, an increase of 17,524.Mail weighed 3,818,700 pounds, an increase of 92,093.Express weighed 903,300 pounds, an increase of 81,694.(Figures for the last two months are estimated).To cope with this rising demand and to better serve the public, T.C.A.opened traffic oflices in Sydney, Saint.John, Moncton and Lethbridge.A reservations control centre, previously located at Winnipeg, was moved to Edmonton in the western area, and Maritimes reservation facilities at Halifax were enlarged and modernized.The first frequency-modulated radio-telephone circuit to be installed in Canada for commercial airline purposes commenced operation between Vancouver and Victoria in June.At the Winnipeg engineering and maintenance base the most intensive Highlights in News Continued from page 12.Continued on page 15.there will be little change in the Argentine foreign policy as the result of the recent shift in the Gov-| ernment.MARCH 1.\t\u2014Meat rationing and meatless!

men are elected to sit with the four 1 of the previous year, and after the mayor has served for one year, four other aldermen are elected to take * the place of those who are completing their two-year term.The police department is headed by Chief Roch Dandenault, who is also the head of the 17-man volunteer fire department, with Albert Sidleau, as Sub-Chief and Sergeant Alphonse Auclaire.Sub-Chief Sidleau patrols the town streets every night between eight o\u2019clock to midnight, on his fine King\u2019s Hall black mare, which is his own property.Perhaps one of the most active civic organizations in the Eastern Townships, the Coaticook Junior Chamber of Commerce, is taking great interest in the progressive improvement of the town, and the officers and members of the Chamber are now working on a plan to establish a Health Unit in Coaticook, which is something that the town has always been lacking.Heading the ninety businessmen of the Chamber is J.A.St.Pierre, President; Marius Larochelle, Vice-President, and Gerard Dionne, Secretary-Treasurer.The directors are Wilfrid Garceau, Ferrier Peloquin, Antonio Dionne, Denis Boivin and Adrien Sinotte.Roger Bouehard is the legal councillor and J.T.Gon-thier immediate past-president.In addition to the above project, the Junior Chamber of Commerce is endeavoring to promote a flower garden contest in Coaticook.Judges will tour the various gardens entered in the competition, and adjudicate the garden beds throughout the town.Entries will then he graded and prizes awarded to the most outstanding garden.Under the sponsorship of the E.S.BEERWORTH \u2022\tGREETING CARDS \u2022\tPATENT MEDICINES \u2022\tMAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS \u2022\tTOILET ARTICLES \u2022\tSMOKERS\u2019 SUPPLIES \u2022\tBOOKS FOR ALL AGES \u2022\tSTATIONERY \u2022\tCONFECTIONERY \u2022\tICE CREAM, ETC.Phone 278-r-2 11 Main St.East COATICOOK, QUE.* mm Si\t,\t.yk sps- ¦Tsms: Above is the \u2018\u2018beicre-anu-altei\u2022' 01 now r plain, garden variety jeep was .transformed into a streamlined job having post-war \u201cflivver\u201d possibilities.The transformation was done by an ordnance motor repair outfit at a U.S.Army 8th Air Force Bomber station in England.Only salvaged materials were used.Get Your Daily Share of Health From One of the Most Modern Eastern Townships Dairies COATICOOK DAIRY CO.LIMITED HOME OF PREFERRED DAIRY PRODUCTS 66 Cleveland Street \u2014 COATICOOK \u2014 Tel.79 \u2014 \u2022\tPure Pasteurized Milk from selected herds \u2022\tStill Selling the best ICE CREAM \u2014 first in flavor and in favor \u2014 \\ \u2022\tChocolate Milk \u2014 the favorite food drink CEMETERIES IN ET.OFFER MANY HISTORIC FACTS By BERTHA WESTON PRICE.\u201cAll that tread the earth are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom.\u201d The last resting places of those who lived their time and made the Sherbrooke Lions Club, a similar organization was founded in Coaticook in November 1941, with some twenty-five members.Today, the Coaticook Lions Club is carrying on excellent work especially for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and in their efforts to foster good will among the people of the town.The Lions Club, in collaboration with the Red Gross, also sponsors a Blood Ciiiiic which is held every three months in the town hall, where the Sherbrooke Mobile Unit accommodates approximately fifty | donors, at every session.Officers of the Lions Club are as follows: George Engelhardt, president; J.N.Bourassa, 1st vice-president; J.A.Boivin, 2nd vice-president; Roger Bouchard (ex-president), secretary, and E.S.Beerworth, treasurer.One of the greatest military attributes of the Eastern Townships can be found in Coaticook, in the 72nd Reserve Field Battery of the Royal Canadian Artillery, under the command of Provisional Captain Roger Bouchard.The reserve regiment is composed of a strength \"of 113 men from Coaticook and the immediate vicinity, who attend weekly Thursday night parades at the Armory.Courses for Officers and N.C.O\u2019s are given every Thursday and Friday nights.Four hundred and fifty men of the reserve regiment are now serving on Active Service in the Canadian and American Army, Navy and R.C.A-F.Two in the Canadian forces world what it is, constitute an unbreakable bond that links the past with the present, and provide a fitting memorial to those wdio \u201cslumber from their labors.\u201d In the early days of Canada\u2019s settlement\u2014and of course in other countries\u2014the remains of members of pioneer families were buried on the homesteads, or farms, usually having a fenced lot and graves marked with wooden crosses.In isolated places one may come across one of these primitive burial plots, while in other places where the original holdings of land was sold or abandoned the ground wras ploughed and no records preserved.As years passed churches were built and the burial ground was attached to the land owned by the church and in this vrcCy denominational arrangements were possible.Today we have beautiful cemeteries in city, town and village, while a decided move is being made to improve, in many years, the burial places in rural sections.It is recognized that here remains history that has never been sought for to any extent.Some years ago when browsing about in the country a motor party ! visited the Rose Burial Ground near Stanstead and found a tragic record of nioneer days.There was a dilapidated headstone on which was marked: \u201cNelson, son of John and Ruth Osgood, 3 years.Died from spotted fever.\u201d Also we saw by markings that eight of one family died from this plague, in 1811.Many pioneer \u2019 families -were practically wiped out by a disease that swept the Townships.In the same burial place was a stone on which was recorded: Elezar Allbee, born in Rockingham, Vt., in 1785, died in Stanstead in 1861.On the stone was the inscription: \u201cHe went into voluntary banishment from his beloved native country during the reign of terror in the\" three years of the misrule of Abraham Lincoln.\u201d As a .matter of history this old record should be preserved, and perhaps something learned about it.I In another almost forgotten place a headstone showed that a man and two wives had been buried in one Savage, daughter of John and Ann Savage, consort of John Allen, Sen., d:ed 1841, aged 67 years; John Allen, Sen.died 1842, aged 74 years.On the last-mentioned stone there is a six-line epitaph, which are often found in older burial grounds.Recently a memorial stone was erected by the descendants of Mr.and Mrs.Anthony Cutier, first white settler at foot of Shefford Mountain in 1797.This is on the old Cutler farm about half way between Waterloo and Granby.Among the beautiful monuments in modern cemeteries is that erected in memory of Palmer Cox.known and loved as \u201cthe Brownie Man\u201d in the Granby cemetery.The monument is a natural boulder obtained near Granby.There is a bronze tabled affixed and a brownie in bas relief.The finest words attributed to Palmer Cox was: -'In creating the Brownies he bestowed a priceless heirloom on children.He died in 1924 mourned as the children's friend.\u201d In passing through rural sections one sees at times a burial ground with one or two large elegant monuments, but the remaining parts in most^ unattractive conditions, this mostly due to the fact that residents who could, and would, see to it have gone away and with tjie exception of the immediate families the interest is lost.All these problems are due to the trend of the times.Stanstead County, settled shortly before 1800 by men and women of stability, grew from forested country to fair lands and from the first attention was paid to the last resting places of its people.There were many small portions of land set aside, but these grew to fine cemeteries in which the searchers for history could find many interesting facts.They tell us that the records on grave stones do not lie, so it is | often possible to find a date or fact ; unexpectedly.Some time back in visiting Stan-stead\u2019s beautiful \u201cLast Resting Place\u201d we found a stone with an odd inscription\u2014at the time\u2014only the word \u201cMother.\u201d Wanting to include this fact with others J wrote to the Crystal Lake Cemetery Coip-pany at Stanstead and received a kind and intensely interesting letter from the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr.A.L.Fuller, who writes: \u201cYou are partially correct about this lot, for there is a lot (174) in the cemetery which is a sort of mystery.When it was acquired, by whom, and if there are any remains actually buried there, the records do not indicate.However, this is not surprising, for in the early days of Crystal Lake Cemetery, lots were passed around easily and the records kept were surprisingly small, this to the annoyance of those who have the matter in hand at the present Highlights in News Continued from page 14.[by the Sherbrooke Rotary Club.\u2018\t6.\u2014The Russian forces have en- tered the suburbs of Odessa while the Western Allies keep up their bombardment of strategic positions in the Balkans.\u2014Governor Dewey is expected to receive the Republican namination for the Presidency as Wendell Willkie steps down after losing the Wisconsin primary.\u2014 !

Several hundred lads from the Townships were with the regiments that were captured when Hong Kong fell, some to die, others to become prisoners of war; boys from the Townships fought in Sicily and Italy and Africa and then on June 6, 1944, an Eastern Townships contingent, the first to be identified as such in this war, the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment, led the spearhead of the attack in one of the greatest invasions ever attempted in the history of the world.It was only a few days after D-Day that word that the Sherbrooke Fusiliers had gone in with the invaders reached here, and soon stories were being told of the exploits of these lads who knew neither fear nor danger.Yes, we can well be proud of the men in the tank corps, the infantry, the boys in the navy and the fighters in the Air Force \u2014 for they are men and boys of valor, all of them.Eastern Townships women, too, have been playing a valiant role.Appreciative of the arduous responsibilities that have been placed upon the shoulders of the servicemen they have entered the fight, too, in order to supplement manpower in the army, navy and air force, and 'fo care for the wounded.They have taken on a wide variety of jobs ir.the Armed Services \u2014 some working as mechanics, motor transport drivers, radio operators, stenographers, cooks, lab assistants, etc.Their deeds have become widely known and their comrades-in-arms saluto their courage in the face of the enemy.Let us honor the men of the Eastern Townships who have fought and who are fighting that we may have for ever that cherished liberty so nearly lost to the Fascist powers.Honor the men of the Eastern Townships for they were among those whose devotion to the cause and unselfishness put the United Nations upon the threshold of victory, Honor the young women of the Eastern Townships who have given up voluntarily the comforts of their home in order that they might stand alongside the men in their gallant fight and do their share in thQ forging of a lasting peace.We salute them all.We bow in reverent tribute to the memory of those who shall not return.CANADA PAPER COMPANY SPENDS OVER $3,000,000.00 YEARLY IN THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS FOR SALARIES and WAGES, PULPWOOD, TRANSPORTATION and SUPPLIES Canada Paper Company is proud of its long and happy association with the Eastern Townships.Both have grown enormously since that day in 1859 when the old firm, Angus and Logan, was founded at Sherbrooke, and both have prospered and suffered at times together.When the present site of the plant was chosen, Windsor Mills was a small village of only a few hundred people whose only industries apart from farming were a small powder mill, a grist mill and a saw mill.Today, the population is approximately 3,600 incorporated as a town which is one of the most prosperous and picturesque in the Townships.At least three quarters of the population of Windsor Mills are directly dependent on Canada Paper Company for their livelihood and most of the remainder obtain their living by performing services for those paid directly by the Company.In addition to the salaries and wages paid out in the mills the Company operates fifty square miles of timber limits which are gradually becoming a model for large future operations.Under the old way of cutting pulpwood all the trees in certain areas were taken off but our limits are now on a sustained yield basis and only the mature trees are harvested, giving the younger ones a better chance for growth.So long as disease or other disaster does not strike, the limits will never be depleted.These timber operations plus the pulpwood purchased from local farmers have been of great help to the rural district by providing an opportunity for the farmer to earn money during the slack periods.At the same time the local farmer is gradually being taught the value of his wood stands and how to preserve them in perpetuity by modern cutting methods.Yes, Canada Paper Company is proud of its association with the Eastern Townships and we hope that our progress in both paper making and pulpwood cutting makes the Townships proud of us.CANADA PAPER COMPANY WINDSOR MILLS, QUEBEC OFFICES IN

Early last fall, a total stranger arrived in town, and commenced to meet people and make friends- at once.It did not take long to discover that this gentleman was Larry Tromlay, district representative of Kiwanis International, and its organizer.It was his duty to see if a club could be organized in Waterloo, and if so, be was going to see if he could perform this job.A meeting of businessmen was called to discuss this question of a Kiwanis Club, and it was at this meeting that it was discovered that the Granby Club would act as rponsor for such an organization, »nd their President, George Du-reault, and Past President, T.Y.O\u2019Neil, were on hand.A good turn- out was evident, and many questions were asked by the group and answered by the Kiwanians present.'However, the enthusiasm for such a 'club was sadly lacking, and it was \u2019realized that unless it was pushed jfurther and at once, the idea would 'evaporate into the thin air of indifference.To combat this feeling, the Granby Club played host to a .luncheon held at the Waterloo I Hotel, and issued invitations to all 'eligible and interested men in .Waterloo.Again a good turn-out jwas witnessed, and Mr.Tromlay was again in charge, with the leaders and members of Granby taking part.Detailed reports of the work accomplished in Granby, the enjoyment derived from these undertak- Picturesque Town Has

room to admit the sunlight, that they were part of Kiwanis, and they also realized that they were proud to be so.There was work to be done in Waterloo, and the Kiwanians were the one to do it.Their already overworked minds made room for more thoughts on how they could help, and they were already willing to offer.The election of officers followed and the board selected for this job was chosen.For President, they selected Mr.Pete Gunter, who had been sitting quietly all evening attentively listening to all procedures.When he enquired and found out that he could not refuse, he immediately took over this job as President, and has proven beyond doubt that this selection was the best possible choice.Mr.Fred St.Denis was put in as his Vice-President, and also has shown that he intends to do all in his power to make this club a success.Mr.George Delaire was elected Treasurer, and likewise has shown his creditable powers of organization and his desire to render service to others.The selection of Secretary was one of keen interest.Every one knew what a tremendous job this would be, and who was there that could do it.Mr.Herbert Boyle was chosen, and he accepted.There is much to be spent on this office each week, and Mr.Boyle is a busy man, but he has found time amid his other duties to do his Kiwanis labor excellently, and on many occasions the President has paid high tribute to the aid Mr.Boyle has given him, and how much he has done to make the Waterloo Club such a success to date.From this beginning, the newly organized Kiwanis Club has spread out to include forty-four regular members, all of whom attend meetings, possibly not all, but all they can.The regular attendance runs around the thirty mark, and interest is at its peak, and suggestions are swirling in from all directions of how the Club can aid someone or something.The true spirit of Kiwanis is prevalent in the hearts of the Waterloo group.The meetings held so far each week have all been interesting and instructive.The club has addresses on post-war reconstruction, rehabilitation, history of the telephone, by the Consul-General of the French Consulate in Canada, by clergymen, by returned men from the battle fronts, by the Lieutenant-Governor of the District and by outstanding speakers of the country and local businessmen.Each meeting takes on a different trend and guests are invited who are particularly interested in the subject at hand.Everything is being done to make the good work of Kiwanians known, and the residents are requested to bring everything to the attention of the club that needs action.This is what such a service club is for\u2014to do anything that will benefit others.The big meeting of this club so far, however, was the Charter Night celebration, which took the form of a chicken-pie dinner in the Community Hall of St.Paul's United Church.Almost two hundred people were there from the clubs of Gran- is now a manufacturing center, and that now has so many valuable

miles from the county seat at Richmond and three miles from one of the largest asbestos mines in the world, at Asbestos, the town of Danville, which was named after its pioneer settlers who came from Danville, Vt., in the New England States, is known as one of the most energetic ami war-conscious communities in the Eastern Townships, Packed fuH of trade and social activity, this little lively centre with a population of approximately 1,500 is contributing markedly to the war effort of the United Nations with some fifty of its citizens on active service with the Canadian Armed Forces, Considering its size, Danville\u2019s war record Is one to be proud of.In addition to this splendid showing in connection with active service men, some two hundred men are in the local reserve unit, where they receive vital training and participate in military schemes.One of the outstanding features in the history of Danville, is its unique reputation for being the scene of the winning of the only Victoria Cross ever to be awarded a Canadian citizen, other than on the field of battle on the scattered fighting fronts of the world.The incident took place in 1865.While a military train was passing through Danville at the time of the Fenian Raids, one of the cars which contained a quantity of powder caught fire.Without thought of personal danger Private Timothy O\u2019Hea dashed into the car and extinguished the threatening flames which had begun to lick at the boxes of stored ammunition.For this outstanding performance.Her Majesty Queen Victoria was graciously pleased to award Private, O\u2019Hca the most coveted military decoration in the world, namely, the Victoria Cross, \u201cFor Valor.\u201d During the last World War more than two hundred soldiers enlisted from Danville and many of these paid lho supreme sacrifice on the flield of the European battle area, while fighting for those ideals which ail freedom-loving people hold dear.With the men away in the Armed Forces, the women of Danville arc faced with the many arduous tasks of keeping the home front going as well as attending to the needs of their loved one* who are fighting.Hitler\u2019s

Mrs.Guy Kezar, First Vice-President; Mrs.Orner Richard, Second Vice-President; Mrs.Anne McKay, Secretary, and Nelson Pike, Treasurer.The North Hatley Christmas Cheer Fund, which is operated under the guidance and sponsorship of the Canadian Red Cross, has also been doing an excellent job of work in bringing a touch of home to the men and women who are fighting and destroying the enemy on land, sea and in the air.Appointed as joint-conveners of the Christmas Cheer Fund, Mrs.(diaries Daintrey and Mrs.A.N.Dutton supervised the sending of some forty-eight Yuletide boxes to men and women Overseas, with an additional twenty-six small gifts to those serving in the Armed Forces in this country.Total expenditures for last year amounted to ?8!18.(15, which sum was accumulated through public contributions.Judging from the work being carried out by the Indies of North Hatley, it is evident that the community situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Massawippi is progressive and war-consrlous.Hubby Stunned By House Wife Built Edmonton, Feb.21.(b He cou d lun e \u201cfainted on the .-pot,\u201d «null WO 1 Roland Poulette, R.C.A.F., when ,.c saw the smartly-finished four-room bungalow built by his wife, Sarah, during his three-year absence with the air force overseas.\u201cYou're kidding of course,\u201d the veteran airman said when his wife pointed out the ewly-cmiatrucled home and proudly announced, \u201cThis is'ours.\u201d But when she took the from her purse and led him inside, he discovered! *- yihing wa* on the level,\u201d The hou[r a furnished and ready 1° i'vc i*1- \u201cWowie!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, IV45.27, Richmond Gives Example Of Harmony And Co-operation Excellent Factory Sites Available In Progressive Townships Centre electric energy is practically unlimited for all ordinary requirements Noted as one of the most progressive towns in the Eastern Townships Richmond has also become prominent as a town where the citizens of all nationalities, regardless of creed or religion, work side by side in perfect understanding and co-operating with one another for the continual betterment of the community.The people of Richmond have realized that it is only through a brotherhood of man that great civic, national and international reforms and advancement can be brought about, The community spirit and good neighborliness, characteristics of the people of Richmond, are the safest foundation - upon which to build, prosper and develop a municipality along more progressive measures.Richmond residents, always conscious of their obligations to others, have always held their own in a crisis.During the hardships and depression of 1929, they fought hard for survival, but with keen deter minatkm and each and every man.woman and child pulling together, a successful drive for industries was inaugurated in those dark, treacherous days, which lifted the town from the throes of the depression era.A sound and capable municipal government comprising both French and English elements, and working in close unity with the Richmond Board of Trade, has been responsible for many of the town\u2019s improvements.The citizens have at all times shown their willingness to cooperate with those whom they have chosen as their civic leaders.One of the largest railroad centres in the Eastern Townships, Richmond is the divisional point on the Canadian National Railways -between St.Hyacinthe and Island Pond, Vermont, and is also the junction-point on the railroad\u2019s main une from Montreal to the Atlantic port of Portland, Maine.Although not considered as an industry in the strict sense of the word, the Canadian National Railways have contributed greatly to the progress of the town, its shops and terminus giving employment to more than two hundred and fifty persons.A considerable quantity of farm products and manufactured goods are shipped tb\tthe local freight facilities.In addition to its excellent railroad communications, Richmond is situated in the heart of the Provincial network of good highways, with two international routes, Numbers 22 and 5, joining right in the town, and connecting with Montreal and various New England States centres.Thus Richmond can offer the prospective and present industrialists, an advantage seldom equalled in other localities.Excellent factory sites are available, and these are readily accessible from residential parts of the town as well as from the main railway line, from which sidings can easily be installed.In normal times, all contractors\u2019 and labor materials for factory construction could be furnished locally with the exception of structural steel which could be had in Sherbrooke.Supply of hydro- and is Canada With ploying provided by the Southern Power Company, eight major industries em-almost 1,000 persons, the town of Richmond is looking forward to the day when it will lie able to increase still further its industrial ad\\.ages and ad to the number of plants presently established there.The Board of Trade is seriously considering the advisability of securing contemporary industries to make available to the present plants the products which they have to seek outside the community and often still further afield in other parts of the Dominion.It is hoped to be able to establish industries which can fill every need of the shoe manufacturing business, among others, as these firms now have to purchase soles, heels, and other vital parts of their production outside of Richmond.Other similar plants are in the process of preparation, all of which deal with a considerable increase in the industrial life of this enterprising railroad centre in which the hope and ambition of the Board of Trade is to make it one of the leading commercial mcccas of the Province.One of vhe most important dairy districts in the Province of Quebec, Richmond is the largest dairy feed distributing centre in the Dominion.It is also an important livestock shipping centre to Montreal and dairy cattle to the United States.Besides supplying milk to various large local creameries, an important volume of this product is shipped to Montreal, Quebec and Sherbrooke.The maple sugar and syrup industry is also an important one and the product is often prized at local and Richmond-Melbourne Trade Group One Of E.T.\u2019s Most Active Bodies Continued on page 28.One of the most active organizations of its kind in the Eastern i Townships, the Richmond and Melbourne Board of Trade, in line with 'other similar groups affiliated with the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade, is already hard at work mapping plans for the post-Avar period, which will develop the towns of Richmond and Melbourne both from an industrial and munici-i pal point of view.Headed by Fred-jerick J.Newell, President, and ( Gerard Desmarais, Vice-President, with W.Roy Whitehead, Secretary-Treasurer, the Board of Trade is : working hand in hand with the Town j Councils of Richmond and Mel-! bourne, and is being assisted by the Junior Board of Trade, j The Richmond Board of Trade was organized in 1894 by the citizens who were well aware of the lvalue of such an organization for 'the improvement of local conditions, lit was incorporated under a federal | charter on November 17,\t1894, |when W.L.Ball was elected the ! first President of the Board.In 1941, its name was changed to the Richmond and Melbourne Senior Board of Trade, in the interests of the two municipalities which are linked together closely, and whose citizens united in order to serve the joint communities better as a whole.Although prior to 1940, the Board of Trade has appeared to the outsider, to be rather inactive, numerous meetings were called at different | times for the discussion of urgent questions requiring the co-operatior.I from men interested in public life.\\ This was particularly true during the period of 1931 to 1938, During these years, a series of non-official meetings were held and a good measure of success was achieved in bringing four new industries to Richmond.Since 1940, regular monthly meetings were inaugurated from October to June, and the increasing membership has now passed the hundred mark.These monthly sessions take on the form of dinner-meetings during the course of which the members are addressed by guest-speakers on various topics of general interest.For a number of years the officers were elected by ballot, but since 1920, a nominating committee has been appointed to draw up a slate of officers for the year as well as for the various committees of the Board, Permanent committees are designed, but others can be organized as the need arises.Representatives of the Richmond and Melbourne Senior Board of Trade have always been present at meetings of the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade, since 1912, when the Board became affiliated with the Association.On two occasions, the local Board has played host for the Association\u2019s semiannual business meeting.In 1920, P, C.Duboyce, one of the Board\u2019s members, was elected President of the Association, The Board is also a member of the Province of Quebec Federation of Boards of Trade.Co-operating with other associations and public bodies, the Richmond-Melbourne Board have often held joint meetings with the town councils, and have on several occasions given substantial financial support to worthy suggestions brought forward by others.It seeks the expression of public opinion in everything undertaken, and its work is not only suggestive but also of

The necessary electrical energy is supplied by the municipal power plants, and the cost of maintenance is paid by the service revenue accrued from the residential, commercial and industrial customers.If the streets of this city were illuminated by a private company, the electrical power and cost of maintenance would cost the city in the vicinity of $60,000 per year\u2014which would necessitate an increase in taxation of almost three mills! Moreover, the entire street-lighting system, lamp standards, console-series, transmission lines, underground conduits, etc., were all paid for out of the service revenue of our own municipalized department.5\u2014\tABUNDANCE OF ELECTRICAL POWER The electrical energy for the lighting of the many civic buildings, supplying the power to the numerous motors of the various municipal services, costs absolutely nothing to the city! \u2014 Here again is another huge economy for the citizens.6\u2014\tABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH PUBLIC WORKS BIG ASSET TO CITY Due to the municipalization of the electrical service, the City of Sherbrooke was enabled to so well survive the last depression without any indebtedness, and this municipalization has also been responsible for the accomplishment of numerous public works of a permanent nature which thus provide a splendid asset for the city.The Story In Brief WHAT MAKES UP OUR MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC SYSTEM TODAY Six Generating Plants:\tDevelopment: Frontenac Plant.2,500\tH.P, Rock Forest Plant.2,700\tH.P.Weedon Plant.5,200\tH.P, Drummond Plant.1,100\tH.P.Westbury Plant .6,700\tH.P.Eustis Plant .400\tH.P, Total.18,500 HP.Unharnessed Falls: Two Miles Falls.10,000 H.P, Two Distributing Stations: Galt St.Sub-Station \u2014 Automatic Sub-Station (near the gas works) \u2014 ÿ ¥\t¥ 63'/2 miles of high-tension transmission lines 57 miles of service lines in the city itself 56 miles of rural distribution lines 743 lamp standards 1,875 street-lighting consoles 785 transformers 1 1,585 meters 9,772 domestic clients (of which 693 are outside the city limits) 500 commercial clients 77 industrial clients ¥ ¥ ¥ Due to the City's interconnection with the Provincial-wide system of the Shawinigan Water & Power Co., the municipal system is enabled to provide for the necessary power, in any quantity, that would be required by the installation of one or of several new industries.7\u2014CLEAN, WELL-KEPT CITY STREETS Again due to the excellent financial situation of the city and the municipalization of the electrical service, the citizens have been enabled to have such a splendid system of street maintenance, clean, well-kept in both winter and summer, a fact in which every resident of Sherbrooke takes just pride.Due also to this exceptional financial situation, the City of Sherbrooke has been able to provide the numerous parks which dot the city, foremost among which is the splendid Jacques Cartier Park, where the children of Sherbrooke are provided with every possible form of recreation in the summer months.The provision of millions upon millions of flowevs and plants to beautify these parks and public places has also been made possible by the City\u2019s remarkable financial situation.It is quite often beard said that the municipalization of a city\u2019s electrical system would bold back the development and prosperity of the city.But a city is not necessarily prosperous and progressive because of a rapid growth of its population, the installation of many industries and a considerable expansion of its limits \u2014 conditions which often result in serious disadvantages such as the building of numerous cheap dwellings and hovels, a more or less floating population ready to leave the city at the slightest economic depression, a large number of necessitous people, and industries of more or less stable nature.Revenue And Expenditures of the Departments of Electricity and Gas for 1943 Revenue .$892,236.56 Expenditures: Operating and Purchase of Power $302,1 1 1.42 Fixed Charges.\t63,673.37 Miscellaneous Appropriations : Sinking Funds.\t64,500.00 Depreciation .14,000.00 Reserve Funds\t.\t500.00 Transfer to Tax Department 350,000.00 $794,784.79 Is it not better to consider as the real factors of a prosperous and progressive city the stability of its people and industries, an excellent administration, a splendid financial situation, a slow and steady development, a rising percentage of property-owners, a restrained number of indigents, an increasing beauty and general appearance of the city, the feeling of harmony and understanding among the citizens, and the satisfaction of the citizens to live in and be a part of such a city.Net Profits $ 97,451.77 The industrial clients have contributed 56% of the total revenue while the clients outside the city have contributed 2%.Assets of the Departments of Electricity and Gas as of December 31, 1943 .$4,492,271.63 THIS IS PROGRESS-THIS IS PROSPERITY! jt Wood And Coal Are Scarce \u2014 Hard To Get \u2014 Use Gas And Electricity For Cooking!

automobiles and rubber tires.Much of the new agricultural area developed since 1890 has been better adapted to grain-growing than to mixed farming, with the result that as the population has increased the production of the older mixed farming districts has been to a large extent consumed within the country.The rising importance during the last two decades of the mining and metallurgical industries is illustrated in the increased importance since 1910 of exports of copper, nickel, zinc, lead, aluminum and platinum.Furthermore, expansion in gold mining has kept pace with other metals, so that exports of non-ferrous metals in 1943 constituted the fourth largest group in Canada\u2019s export trade.Exports have been necessary to offset the country\u2019s imports of capital and goods, but until the outbreak of World War I they were sufficient to pay only part of the bill for Canada\u2019s development.From 1868 to 1893, imports into Canada exceeded exports in every year except 1880 and 1881.For the next ten years, there were more exports than imports, but during the period of great expansion from 1904 to 1914 imports always exceeded exports.This was the period during which foreign capital was being brought into the country\u2019 on a considerable scale to build up productive equipment.Since that time there has been an annual excess of exports, except in the years 1920, 1929, 1930 and 1931.The imports needed to keep Canada\u2019s population going, and the capital to set Canada on its feet industrially came from two sources\u2014the United Kingdom and the United States.These two friendly nations watched their investments and drew off the results in the form of such merchandise as they could use.Thus the Canada of today was established by means of a steady three-way trade, which ran in favor of either the United Kingdom or the United States according to their current requirements.Ever since Confederation in 1867 the records of Canadian trade have emphasized the importance of these trade relationships with these two countries.In the early years of the Dominion, when the United Kingdom was lending capital freely, it supplied more than half of Canadian imports, even though as purchaser of Canadian goods it ranked second.Sometimes it provided the best market for Canadian exports, and sometimes the United States did.Since 1932 it has been the United Kingdom, with the exception of 1939, 1942 and 1943.In 1942 the Unitea States became Canada\u2019s best customer\u2014wartime demands in the United States for foodstuffs, wood products, military vehicles and munitions accounted for an increase in 1942 of nearly 13% over 1941.Together the two countries took 80% of Canada\u2019s exports in 1940.To appreciate fully the value to Canada of this three-way trade, one must turn to another page in \u2022the ledger and examine Canadian trade with other foreign countries and with the rest of the British Commonwealth and Empire.In 1886 they amounted to only 44.2% of the tota'l value.In the boom year of 1928 they amounted to 23%, but soon declined again.In 1940 they were only 6.8%.In 1942 wartime exports to Egypt, Iraq and Russia, three allies, caue- b .: ¦,\t.Willi.ymuMi I\t.J.W.BLAKE First Aid Graduate AMBULANCE With Three Stretcher# GRAPPLING IRONS OXYGEN TANK FUNERAL SERVICE HEARSE WITH THREE-WAY TABLE 86 Queen Street Tel.404 Day or Night j ed the percentage to rise to 13.7%.Nor has the trade with the rest of j the Commonwealth and Empire ever ! assumed large proportions.Exports | have generally exceeded imports, and I the percentage of both has increased ! steadily since 1886.As Canada\u2019s in-! dustrial organization has progres-j sed, Canada has drawn more raw ma-i terials from other Commonwealth : and Empire countries.They in their ' turn have provided an expanding ¦ market for Canadian manufactured \u2019 and specialized products.Canada\u2019s period of great expansion, 1904 to 1914, had already terminated at the outbreak of World War I.The country\u2019s economy was in the throes of readjustment and depression, and the time had arrived to utilize the productive facilities built up and financed by foreign borrowing.Canada needed a surplus of merchandise exports over imports that would be sufficient to meet external interest and dividend payments on borrowed capital.This change from capital expansion to production of export staples implied a transfer of labour, with employment in construction replaced by employment in production.Pending the transition there were considerable dislocations in Canada, which were intensified by the outbreak of war.Canada entered on an era of war prosperity.Its productive resources were primarily employed to supply exports of wheat, flour and other foodstuffs, explosives, shells and other munitions, and to build ships to transport them.During the war period its main exports more than doubled in volume and increased more than four times in value.Canada\u2019s military record in World War I is well known, but on the production front the story was less glorious.Whereas war expenditures at the present time are running close to 50% of national income, war expenditures both at home and abroad reached only 10% of national income in the last year of the war.Even when British expenditures in Canada through the Imperial Munitions Board are added in, war outlays in Canada never reached 20% of national income.While reliable figures of total production are not available, it would appear that it did not increase more than 10% during the war period.In this war industrial production has already increased bv 160%.Manufacturing acquired a new and important position during World War I.Before that probably less than 7% of the total net value of all manufactured goods produced in Canada was sold abroad, whereas during the 1914-18 period the percentage exceeded 40%.The significance of this change was all the greater because exports from 1916-18 did not appreciably reduce the volume of manufactured commodities available for domestic consumption.The chief increase in manufacturing , were iron and steel, pulp and paper ; and shipbuilding.; Canada emerged from Wrorld War I with a more closely integrated and more mature economy, experience, and a long-established unfavorable merchandise trade balance converted to a favorable excess of exports over imports.Canada's role in World War I was a worthy predecessor, and perhaps an ominous indication of the still more powerful role it would be able to assume in the present conflict.World War I was followed by a boom during which Canadian exports and imports both expanded in value.Imports showed a marked advance as a result of the inflated purchasing power of the population.Imports at $1,240,100,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1921, had the highest value in the country\u2019s history to that time.After this brief boom the external trade of Canada, in common with that of every other country in the world, suffered a severe decline in both volume and value.Canada\u2019s total foreign trade reached the high point of $2,450,600,000 in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1921, largely because of the continuation of excessive imports which tipped the balance $29,700,000 on the deficit side.Consequently when the total trade figure fell to $1,501,700,000 in the following year the effect was very marked, although actually a favorable balance of $6,100,000 is recorded for the fiscal year 1922.From then on the value of Canadian trade gradually recovered and headed into a decade of prosperity.From 1925 to 1929 Canadian exports were predominantly agricultural.In that period it was largely because bountiful harvests coincided with an active world demand at good prices that prosperity was so widespread.Canada was making remarkable progress during this period in the expansion of its export trade to the world\u2019s markets.In 1913 the value of the_ total imports into 37 leading countries of the world had amounted to $18,199,509,000.By 1929, the peak year of the prosperous period, these imports had increased to $28,546,-670,000, a gain of $10,347,161,000.During this_ same period Canada\u2019s share of this trade increased from $356,762,000 to $1,103,375,000, by $746,613,000.In other words, the increase in the total trade of the 37 countries was about 57%, but Can-ade\u2019s share of it rose by 209%.In 1913 Canada was responsible for 2% of their imports, but in 1927 its share was 474 or just double.For the fiscal year 1929 Canada\u2019s tota trade reached $2,654,575,000, the largest {or any 12-month period up to that time.The largest previous annual record was for the 12 months ended December 31, 1917, when the total trade was valued at $2,639,726,-000.Total imports for the fiscal vear .1929 ($1,265,679,000) exceeded \"imports for any previous fiscal year.Exports for 1929\t($1,388,896,000) were larger than for any previous f\u2018^al year except 1918 ($1,686,170,-000).Allowing for price changes, the physical volume of Canada\u2019s imports and exports was greater for the fiscal year 1920 than for any previous year.This was the highest point reached during the period of prosperity.By the next year the depression had begun to set in and was apparent in Canada largely as a result of reduced exports of grains.Canada-» total foreign trade during the year ended March 31.1930, showed a de- : crease compared with 1929 of 9.8% but compared with 1923 an increase of 1.4%.Imports were still flowing in freely, as was the case in 1920.: They declined only 1.4%^ although exports fell by 17.6%.During the next two years the depression was being experienced.The world-wide depression, which had commenced in the autumn of 1929, was responsible for a very great reduction in values, but less in volume of international trade.The : total value of Canada\u2019s external trade fell steadily from $2,655.000,- j 000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1929, to the low point of $887,-000,000 in 1933.The year 1934 saw the turn of the tide, however, with ! a total trade of $1,019,000.000 further ; increased to $1,173,000,000 in the cor- ; responding year.Canada\u2019s total trade during the fiscal year 1934 increased 14.9% over 1933, but still showed a decrease of 12.6% compared with 1932.There was a further increase in 1935 over 1934 in both imports and exports\u2014the former increased in value by 20.473 and the latter by 13.9%.The decline in Canada\u2019s trade was not so marked as that of the United States and certain other competing British and foreign countries.Canadian imports for 1930, compared with 1929, declined 22.4%' as against 27.7% for the United States, while its domestic exports declined 25.1%\u2019 compfrt'ed with a decline in United States exports of 26.7%.The trade of both Canada and the United States suffered more from the general trade depression of the world than did the trade of the chief commercial countries of Europe, with exception of Hungary and Spain.The present war has altered the entire course of world trade, and Canada, being a leading trading nation, has been seriously affected.Hon.C.D.Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply and of Reconstruction has thus described the industrial changes in Canada and the adjustments of the war years.\u201cThe first year of war, 1940, was one of planning and small beginnings, with the first trickle of war supplies from a few sources only in j evidence towards the end of that year.The next year, 1941, was one of i construction, conversion and expan-1 ' sion\u2014of vastly broadened plans and j ! quickened output.Then followed a, year of steadily rising problems and ' confusion.The year 1943 passed in j the face of perils, production, of ob-1 jectives reached and recorded an output so heavy that industrial capacity and manpower were strained to the limit, employment reached an all-time high even though, under the altered tide of war, shifts and changes had to be made in the production world.\u201d These changes are reflected in the trade returns.In 1943 Canada\u2019s total foreign trade almost reached the unprecedented figure of $5,000,000,000.This brought it to the rank of the third largest trading nation in the world, although its population is only half of 173 of the world\u2019s total.In the year immediately preceding the ! present war, Canada had ranked second in the value of its exports per capital, with New Zealand first.| In 1943, Canada\u2019s export trade mounted to $3,001,352,279.This was more than double the figure for any other year in its history, two and one-half times greater than any year in World War I and three times greater than in 1939.The curve is still rising; trade for 1941 already has made an impressive showing.For the first nine months of 1944 exports (includinglgold) stood at $2,677,026,702 as against $,2,137,101,\u2022 880 for the same period in 1943.Canada has alwrays depended vit» ally on its export trade, for it normally derives one-third of its national income from it.In 1943 Canada\u2019s national income was estimated at $8,724,000,000, of which its external trade made up $3,000,000,000 of more than 34%.No other major trading nation depends so much on exports for its prosperity as does Continued on page S'O.Hall

Caused Difficulties In Operations Since War Outbreak all d«mand for lumber continued to Canada\u2019s forests have proved to be one of the most important material assets of the United Nations in the prosecution of the present war.At the same time the abnormal demands of war have served to focus attention on the essential place of wood in the Dominion\u2019s modern industrial life.It is now' evident that without adequate supplies of the raw material, wood, the waging of modern >var is quite impossible.The total area of forested .lands in Canada is close to 114 million square miles, but part of this vast area bears forests which are not suitable for commercial exploitation.Still other forests are believed to be of commercial quality but are not yet accessible to commercial operations.Nevertheless the so-called accessible productive forests cover an area of about 430,000 square miles, or 275 million acres.It is on this latter area that Canadians must depend, for the present, for all their supplies of wood and for the new growth which \\idll provide most of the supplies for the future.During the war years Canadian forest industries have been under great handicaps.Shortages of labour caused by enlistments in the armed services and by shifts to war industries, particularly shipbuilding, have caused difficulties both in the woods and in the mills.At times essential supplies have been difficult to procure and, for a considerable period, the pulp and paper industry had to surrender large blocks of hydro-electric power to new industries directly engaged in the production of munitions.In spite of these and other difficulties the performance of the forest industries has been magnificent.During the five full years of war the average annual output of sawn lumber has increased over the 1935-1939 average by 31%.In the same period the average output of pulpwood has increased by 33%.In addition to these increases Canada has been called upon to supply substantial quantities of pit-props for use in British mines, yellow birch veneer logs for the aircraft industry, ties for the railroads, poles for the communication companies and between 8 and 9 million cords of fuelwood each year.The output of wood pulp rose from 4.1 million tons in 1939 to nearly 5.3 million tons in 1943.In 1939 the output of paper of all kinds was 3.6 million tons.Paper production in 1941 reached a peak of 4.5 million tons and in 1943 was approximately 4.0 million tons.These figures reflect the magnitude of the accomplishment of the wood-using industries, but they do not give an adequate idea of the great efforts which were made both by management and labour, to keep production up.Under the stimulus of wartime economy the apparent consumption of lumber in Canada increased from 1,800 million board feet in 1939 to about 2,900 million feet in 1943.During the earlier war years vast quantities of lumber were needed for the construction of military camps, naval establishments, and scores of new schools for the Royal Canadian Air Force.Many millions of board feet of high quality Douglas fir timbers were used to frame-aircraft hangars and other large structures, thus saving hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel urgently needed elsewhere.As the war progressed the over- long lusting Quality Luggage For years Eastern Townships shoppers have put their faith and trust in luggage from Pigeon\u2019s.This year, more than ever, long lasting quality luggage means better service and extra savings.J.A.PIGEON Krg'ii LEATHER GOODS \u2014 SHOE REPAIRING 68 Wellington St.North increase, although there have been significant changes in its use.Huge quantities are now required for the manufacture of boxes and crates, most of which are used to protect overseas shipments of war supplies : and food.Shifts of population -have ' necessitated the erection of many new homes; the demand for lumber j and timber by the transportation | systems, essential mines, shipbuild-! ing, and manufacturing industries | continues unabated; supplies of wood ; of the highest quality must be fur-i nished to the aircraft industries of ! Canada and Britain; and increased | agricultural production has resulted 1 in increased need for lumber on the farms.The pressure of war demands on available lumber supplies has inevitably resulted in some restriction in ordinary civil consumption of lumber, yet compared with other countries, Canadians are faring well in this respect.Canada\u2019s great forest industries\u2014 the sawmilling and pulp and paper industries\u2014have always depended on external markets for the> disposal of large proportions of their products, their principal markets Ijeing in the 'United Kingdom and the United I States.During the war Canadian lumber and wood pulp have been absolutely essential to Britain and Canadian newsprint paper has been equally essential to the United States.The United Kingdom is normally the largest importer of sawn lumber in the world and in peace time she secured a large part of her requirements from Northern Europe.After the fall of France European lumber was no longer available and Canada became the source of about 70% of all British imports of softwood lumber.Canada supplies between 70 and 75% of all the newsprint paper used in the United States and also ships newsprint to about | forty other countries.Here again the supplies formerly obtained from Northern Europe arc unavailable and in many countries publication of the daily news depends solely on Canadian newsprint.In the middle of 1940 the Canadian Government recognized that the abnormal demand for lumber, both at home and abroad, necessitated control of distribution.Consequently, the Office of the Timber Controller was established in the Department of Munitions and Supply.At first concerned chiefly with the distribution of sawn lumber, the Timber Controller now exercises authority also over the output of pulpwood and fuelwood.Two Grown companies were established, one in Montreal to control the supply of hardwood veneer logs and one on the West Coast to produce Sitka spruce for the aircraft industry.Control of distribution of wood pulps and papers was undertaken by administrators of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.To all these controls, whose object has been to ensure the most effective use of Canadian forest products in the war effort of the United Nations, the various branches of industry have given loyal co-operation.Source of all the raw material fox this great industrial effort is the j Canadian forest itself, and it is rea-' sonable to ask what effects wartime cutting is likely to have on its future productivity.Broadly speaking, the forest lands of Canada are capable of growing new wood at the rate at which it is being consumed, or at an even higher rate, provided the cuttings are well distributed and the forests are not being used at all, and everywhere the losses from fires and insect pests and tree disease are far too high.Correction of these unsatisfactory conditions constitutes a major problem which will face the Canadian people after our enemies abroad are defeated.% S*\t-V '\t1 '¦1 : :\t¦ 1' ' * IF- !\t\u2018 \"%3w\u2014 P'-V\t.-\t-\t1\tV %di Food for Freedom\u2019s Lifeline Harnessing Old Reliable Horsepower!

During the period 1813 to 1830 more than 168,000 immigrants arrived at the port of Quebec.(9) I Lord Durham, in his report on conditions in Canada (1839) stated 'that during the preceding nine ! years, 263,000 persons had arrived to swell the population of this new jland, and had they been aware of the conditions of lai .1 monopoly they would never have left their homes.GO Leaving behind them the memory of centuries of exploitation by the ruling classes, they had set forth in search of free land, only to discover that greed had already implanted itself and they were to become the pawns of a new world, ns they had been in the old.By this time the so-called Family Compact was beginning to flourish.Of the conditions of Government, Lord Durham says in his report.\u201cFor a long time this body of men .possessed almost nil the highest public offices, by means of which\u2014 and of its influ.:e in the Executive j Council\u2014it wielded all the powers of Government, .The bench, the magistracy, the high offices of the Episcopal Church, and a great part (of the legal profession, are filled by the adherents of this party.By grant or purchase, they have ae-quired nearly the whole of the waste lands.they are all-powerful in the chartered banks, and till lately shared among themselves almost exclusively all offices of trust and profit.\u201d GU In Lower Canada approximately 4,000,000 acres or two-thirds of the surveyed townships, had been granted or sold.No less than 3.000.000 acres had been set aside in the two Felton had caused to be fraudulently granted to himself and members of his family much of a total of 31,-475 acres.\u201d 02) Charles Durand, a Toronto barrister, stated in his Reminiscences that Dr.James Strachan, Episcopal Bishop, and one of the three members of the Upper Canada executive council, was a land-jobber and member of the Family Compact.\u201cThey wanted to get as much land as they ! could, keep it for a rise, let others! 1'3 settle around it, and increase the | \u201c.value of the vacant land (thus) \u2022 17 monopolized.\u201d Further on Durand ! 144 relates the particulars of an edi- i 30 torial criticism (1827) by Francis 1 45; Collins, publisher of the Freeman 894 at York (Toronto).12 !

Frederick Halimand, Captain General and Governor-in-Chief ot the Province of Quebec and Territories thereon depending, etc.General and Commander aid Chief of His Majesty\u2019s forces in said Province and the frontiers thereof .(copied) In this elaborate order Captain Savage and his brother, Edward, were allowed to bring families and effects to their chosen homes.John Savage was appointed \u201cCaptain in the Militia of the Circle of St.John\u2019\u2019 by commission signed by Lord Dorchester, in 1788; later Captain in the Township of Shefford of the 2nd Batt.of Militia; this in 1805, anfi as the first Justice of the Peace, in 1804, for the Townships of Potton.Bolton, Granby, Shefford and Stukely.At the age of eighty-four years this courageous pioneer and loyal citizen of Shefford was granted release from his long service with special commendation.All of these orders and documents, carefully treasured by Miss Vaudry for some years, are now in the archives at Ottawa, where they have their part in the military and civic records of pioneer days.It is of interest to note that in the settlement of Shefford Township sixty-four thousand six hundred acres of land was granted Captain Savage and his associates.They surely had something to begin upon in development.The Oath of Allegiance In the early days of pioneering all new settlers were required to take oath and subscribe to the declaration required; \u201cI \u2014, \u2014, do sincerely promise and swear that I will be faithful and bear time allegiance to His Majesty King George, and him will defend to the utmost of my power, against all traitorous conspiracies and attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against his person, Crown and : v* ï' SIR JOHN COAPE SHERBROOKE dignity.And I will do my utmost endeavour to disclose and make known to His Majesty, his heirs and successors, all treasons and traitorous conspiracies and attempts which I shall know to be against him or any of them.And all this I do swear without any equivocation, mental evasion, or secret reservation, and renouncing all pardons and dispensations from any power or person whomsoever to the contrary.So help me God.\u2019\u2019 * * * Of the early history of St.John\u2019s Church in West Shefford Miss Vau-Iry gives many interesting facts.While the church was in construction the builders stayed four months with I Captain and Mrs.Savage.Also that the Captain contributed generously to various expenses in building.Not only he, but the residents of Shef-\"ord built the church with heart and hand.(In giving these facts I have been careful not to deviate from the author's recordings, in any detail).One of the first pioneers in the Eastern Townships was Captain John Bishop, who settled in Dudswell with his family and associates.He had been taken prisoner during the American Revolution and held at Quebec for some time.Upon his release he returned to his home then decided to go to Canada.This he did like many other men \u201cwith a compass in one hand and an axe in the other,\u201d and began pioneer work in Dudswell Township in 1800.He mtse JÈfer&tcc .PRINTERS.0 * .LITHOGRAPHERS .STATIONERS .PAPER BOXES .PAGE-SAN6S f£R PRINTING COMPANY, LIMITED ALBERT STREET -\t- SHERBROOKE, QUE.Days of Marcus Continued from page 38 was to find himself deeply involved in heated debate along his route of travel as he quoted the Colonist and solicited subscriptions for which payment was to be made in grain or hard money, the latter medium of e x c h a nge preferred.Writing editorials in the back room of the printing shop located next door to Wilder Pierce\u2019s store, Silas Dickerson enlisted the cooperation of that \u201cready scribe\u201d the village apothecary.The latter\u2019s contributions were run under the caption \u201cLetters to the Editor\u201d and were usually signed Friend of the People.Dickerson soon championed ; the cause of those settlers who were j either unable or unwilling to pay the was one who served his God and his country faithfully.From that date there was steady influx into the new forested lands and militarism was of secondary nature until the Riel Rebellions, first and second.The Eastern Townships were truly disturbed and Sherbrooke soon took on a military tone.Military bodies were organized, and work commenced on the Drill Hall, which stood for many years ,a link between the past and present.Today it has entirely disappeared, that part of the city having the beautiful Y.W.C.A.MacKinnon Memorial Building, facing on Montreal Street.But the building of the old Drill Hall recalls facts of interest especially when a former military officer tells us about them.The 53rd Batt.was \u201con the spot\u201d and soon the men were garrisoned where now is all peace and order.Along William Street to the east was a large grassy field where now 'stands the noble structure of Trinity United Church.On the western side of the Drill Hall there was at that time a large well-built building with wall of brick eight or ten feet high.This was used for some time as a jail, then served, later, as the Armoury of the 53rd Batt.downstairs, and the upstairs as a \u201cpoor house.\u201d There arc no records as to how largo the upstairs population was.In the building operations was the making of \u201cbunks,\u201d but sanitation did not take a leading part.The carpenters did their best and the military was willing to sleep on the straw filled bunks.One of the residences in this locality is that of Col.Dr.W.E.Hume, and throughout the city are homes where military men and their families resided.The name of Capt.Wm.A.Hale, Col.Bowen, and hundreds of others in this city anfi throughout the Townships faring remembrances of the days when Sherbrooke was a military centre.An incident of 1837 connected with the sale of horses may be referred to as \u201cjust something that happened.\u2019\u2019 At that time there was little outside market for live stock and the farmers felt the depression.A slight break occurred when the Government sent two men to the Townships to buy Artillery horses.These had to be of a certain height, no matter what the quality was.The price was to he one hundred and ten dollars; no more no less.If they came up to the stick the owners got tneir money \u2014 no haggling about price.This particular brand of horses was called the Page Colt, and they were not considered anything of which to be proud.A man by the name of Orvil Page brought a large stock of horses to town and nearly all colts were of standard height A few that fell a little short in height were taken to the shop for heavier shoes to bring them up to desired height Alas for the owner \u2014when the horses were brought to Sherbrooke for final measurement \u2014they found that the measurement went only to the shoe! There wore about thirty horses sold and .of course, the sum realized in those days was much appreciated.(The notes of this incident are included in a History of Eaton by Lebourveau).Many Canadians who were absent in the United States came back to do their part.Allan Hodge, of the Cookshire Cavalry, who was in mili-,ary action in Maine, returned to Caanda and helped to recruit the 10th Co.58th Batt.Voluntary Militia of Canada.The Village Common in Hatley, Stanstead County, has a mark of distinction relative to old days.The piece of land donated to the village for a public square by two pioneers \"to be free and clear at all times\u201d is a lasting memorial to worthy men of the past.In a desirable location on the Common is the War Memorial to the fallen heroes of the last war, and in St.James' Church at the edge, of the Common hangs the flag of the Invincibles whose martial tread was heard as they took their drills on the Common.No matter which way we turn we find memorials and marks of remembrance for the days of old.And they seem closer now that there are new wars, and new remembrances.During the rapid growth of' Sherbrooke and the Townships many families came to make their home:-and take active interest in the progress of the city and its environs.Of these families no name stands higher in the annals of this Province than that of Dr.Edward D.Worthington, and fais two sons Col.E.B.Worthington and Dr.A.Norreys Worthington, whose lives were spent mostly in Sherbrooke.Dr.E.D.Worthington, A.M.M.D.F.R.C.S., and the doyen of the medical profession in the Townships was l»orn in Ireland and came to Canada as a child.After years spent in study he settled in Sherbrooke and .spent his life in helping others.Dr.Worthington was the first surgeon in this part of Canada to use ether md chloroform in amputation cases.Te won distinction for himself and is profession and was called an out-.unding physician and surgeon.Those who knew him best knew of h1 kindness to the poor and his love «I humanity.sums demanded by the Shore-Milnes or Phillips agents, but he was over-zealous io criticising decisions handed down by Judge Fletcher, and in consequence was to feel the full force of the Jurist\u2019s ire.Hubbard says, \u201chis comments, though just, perhaps, in the main were ill-timed and brought him into direct collision with the Judge who was arbitrary and unyielding.\u201d At that time freedom of the press was a relative term and during a period of four years, the publisher of the Colonist was fined for contempt of court on no less than ten occasions.Here is Dickerson in the Colonist for April 12, 1827: \u201cA second communication has been received from our Correspondent An Impartial Observer, premised (as would be expected, in coming from that source) with many grave remarks and high assurances of personnel esteem; and manifesting great regret that our press should have been the herald of disaffection among the peaceful inhabitants of our happy district, governed as we arc by wise and wholesome laws, ably administered by officers distinguished alike for candor, temperance and just decision; impartially watching over our dearest rights, and whose very presence seems to awe and banish guilt from our land; and then closes his premise in so mild and conciliatory a manner that, one would almost imagine himself in the presence of some august personage, listening to his wise admonitions.We feel warranted in the belief that if those terrible explosions (in his first letter) did emanate from his breast, they must have been accompanied by convulsive groans and a fearful quaking of his feeble frame.Had, sir, your former or your latter communication any other purpose than to flatter Judge Fletcher by frothy panegyric and unfounded eulogy on the one hand, and scurrility and bombastic invective\u2014 vomited forth without direction against the Editor\u2014on the other, and that, too, under an assumed name, giving of itself the lie to your (impartial) assertions\u2014you might have been entitled to a second notice, but as your shafts arc directed, they pass unheeded, and forever after shall pass unnoticed until you appear in your own dress and in your own language.And until then, Mr.Impartial Observer, keep out and bark as much as you please, but remember\u2014the loudest bark effects the least bite.\u201d Here Dickerson had ascended to the heights of sheer drollery combined with satire, that compels us to recognize in him something apart \u2018Tom a Don Quixote of the Press MARCUS CHILD, \u201cFRIEND OF THE PEOPLE\u201d Another letter in that same issue was contributed by Friend of the People.\u201cThe time never existed in which our political horizon was so overcast with clouds of gloom and darkness as at the present moment.These clouds have been gathering for many years with increasing portent, and have at length arrived to a degree of dangerous tendencies which readers longer silence a crime;

Although the number of agents in the field is substantially below the prewar level, the almost complete elimination of unemployment, combined with a high national income and a scarcity of consumer goods, has again made it possible for the public to purchase more life insurance than in the preceding year.This demonstrates in striking fashion how times like the present make people more than ever conscious of the need for life insurance.The final figures will reveal that new life insurance was sold in Canada to the amount of about $ 1,0tK),000.0(H) and the total insurance in force will be in the neighborhood of $9,500,OOO,000, with payments to policyholders and beneficiaries of about $140,000,000 for the year.The assets held in Canada for the benefit .\t.\t.\t\u201e the more than four million policyholders protected by this very large school by the Catholic! project of 1944, being the erccuen amount insurance arc now well in excess of $2,000,000,000, indicating lission, on 1st Avenue, of the Ste.Famille Church on King the high regard in which r.hds form of savings and protection is held by te/t to 863.000.\tstrept Past, fm- *17 66{> charged with a desire to esta- a COw.and between he îear^mî Provinces, vol.rii p.363.\tblish an elective government eom-an(1 1840 (a l He fled to the United States\texclusively of Freneh-Cana-dm™ were hanged (some of them '¦\t|mere boys) for offences that were On February 21, 1834, lapineauiin many cases of a minor nature, presented his Ninety-Two Reso- Seven were for murder while the lutions to the Quebec Assembly.On rest were for various degrees of this occasion he was quite open in!theft, with twelve executions for declaring his sentiments towards a [treason.Two hundred and thirty, future republican state.\u2018 Iberc nine others had been sentenced to ____o .exists today\u201d he said, \u201cpositive signs hang but were later reprieved.The the British penal colony in BennudaUhat before long the whole of Amer-|use of the lash was common at the her).Shore-Milncs ica 'V11 be republican.\u201d Later, he time.For the offence of petty theft stated: \u201cWhat 1 want is a govern- a woman received twenty-five lashca ment consisting of men friendly to_____________________________________ the laws;

provision for the dis-1 appearance by 1950 of note circulation by the banks; a widened field of lending, and a reduction from $100 to $10 in the statutory par value of bank shares to encourage a wider diffusion of holdings.The lending field was widened to enable the banks to extend their services to farmers by way of loans for improvements to buildings and equipment, and, as collateral legislation, parliament passed the Farm Improvement Loans Act regulating this intermediate credit, field that may prove to be of particular importance to Canadian farmers after the war.Parliament took other steps to strengthen the financial system as a whole, and to ensure as far as possible that no sound credit need is left unserved\u2014notably by passing the Industrial Development Bank Act, the National Housing Act and the Export Credits Insurance Act.Thus the whole financial system of the nation was enlarged in preparation for the demands of the postwar period.In this system the banks occupy a vitally important place, not only as custodians of the savings of the people, but as the channel through which commercial loans are fed into the production stream of the nation.The banks of Canada regard the extension of their charters in the light of a renewed responsibility.The banks see it as a fresh opporUinLy to sei.e .e Canadian people and are prepared to do their utmost in supplying the sound credit needs and the banking requirements of the nation, not only for the duration of the war but into the peace as well.Specifically, the banks are prepared to contribute \u2019 Air Ambuiance\u2014The World\u2019s Fastest More Than Ever Before \u2014 Buy Wisely!

Gould, carried off first honor, D.J.Rankin, of eggs, and a good many carloads of maple sugar and maple syrup.It might be of interest to state that our line handled almost 200 carloads of Christmas trees to various destinations, mostly in United States, last December.It will thus be seen that from stations situated exclusively on Q.C.R.lines, in the Eastern Townships and adjoining territory, that many products are mined or manufactured, and that the area is keeping pace with a more highly industralized Quebec.The Eastern Townships and its progressive people, with its natural resources and manufacturing establishments so well diversified, can, in my humble opinion, view the future and particularly the post-war period with the greatest of confidence, and attain increased importance and prestige in the mining, manufacturing and commercial world of our Dominion in the years to come.Days of Parens Continued from page iO.Your Neighborhood Store Receives Them Fresh Daily WE SUPPLY THE

of the Queen Fire Company sat around idly wondering what the coming week would have in store for them in the way of activity.A few hours later, in the nearby telegraph office, a message ticked over the wire in tv orse co.de, telling of a terrible fire which threatened to destroy the whole business section of Lennoxville.This telegram was addressed to Mayor Morkill of Sherbrooke, and some fifteen minutes after Hr receipt, the Sherbrooke Fire Department arrived to the aid of the small growing community.The fire, which started at 10,ôô a.m.and in only a few hours had reduced one-half of the town to ashes, causing some $150,00'0 to $200,-OO'O damages, destroying some fifty to sixty buildings and rendering approximately five hundred people homeless, started in the hay loft of a barn owned by Charles Brooke, a little back of Belvidere Street, and was discovered by .he young daughter of J.P.Cushing, who was playing with several of her schoolmates at the schoolhouse close by.Several \u2022scholboysi had - en seer, running out of the barn, and shortly afterwards the barn and one or iyvo of the outhouses were abiaac.The alarm brought large numbers of townsfolk to the scene, but they were unable to prevent the flames from spreading, as the reservoir, only a few yards away, had gone dry, and the village had not even a hand engine.The river, from which water might have been drawn, was some 2,000 feet distant.After the alarm had been telegraphed to Sherbrooke, special trains ran between the two centres carrying hundreds to the rescue.In the meantime, however, the flames kept spreading rapidly from one dry wooden building to another, and the streams of water thrown into the inferno through fire hoses from a distance of 2,000 to 3,000 feet proved inadequate in quelling the menacing blaze which threatened the whole town.Soon the fire spread to the school-house, the Methodist chapel and Hawes\u2019 building.At this point, the fire leaped across the street envel- mmmm

the war effort to the fullest possible extent, some fifteen per cent of the population of Lennoxville are now serving on Active Service with the Canadian Armed Forces, of which four men, Squadron Leader D, F.Allen, Squadron Leader W.R.Christison, Flight Lieutenant Lome A.Tapp and Warrant Officer 1st Class Eric \u201cTommy\u201d Plunkett, members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, have been decorated by His Majesty King George M, with the Distinguished Flying Cross for outstanding bravery and devotion to duty in the face of the enemy.This is indeed a record that the 2,113 citizens of Lennoxville might well be proud of.To commemorate the noble deeds of these fighting men and women, the citizens of Lennoxville and Ascot have erected a Temporary Honor Roll bearing some 301 names, which was unveiled during last year\u2019s Remembrance Day ceremonies, by Mrs.Lyman Paige, who has given five sons to the cause of freedom, of whom one was killed and another reported missing after air operations.Words spoken at that impressive ceremony by the Reverend EHon Scott, who officiated, will ever be reechoed in the thoughts and hearts of those who heard them.\u2018,\u2018The men whose

'.e oldest rinks in the di.-trict, Granby has always maintained a record hard to beat in curling circles.Only recently a Granby rink, skipped by J.Emile Isabelle, captured top honoris in Sherbrooke\u2019s annual irons bonispiel this winter.Chief trophy offered for competition in the Eastern Townships is the Southern Canada Challenge C.-p, competition for which ie open to 11 clubs in the Townships.Many keen battles have been waged for its possession since its presentation in 1926 and every club has d it displayed on the mantelp' \" r one time or another.Then too, there.the Canadian National Trouhy, 'competed for by Lennoxville and Sherbrooke rinks.Possession of the trophy is determined through a series of twelve or fifteen games), the winner being the side gaining the greatest number of points.Other cups offered for competition by the Sherbrooke Curling Club are the Record Trophy, the Mitchell Trophy and the Winter Sports Trophy, donated by the City of Sherbrooke.These cups were offered for the annual irons bonspiel and are regarded ag emblematic of curling superiority in the Townships, This year, however, the club decided to hold a granite bonspiel as well ae an annual irons play.With the donation of three new cups, the Rand Trophy, the Southwood Memorial Trophy and the Edwards M'm-orial Trophy, the three cupa formerly competed for in the irons competition were transferred to the granite bonspiel.Both bonspiels, already concluded the Q.A.H.A.or not.The purpose of the loop was to give those players who did not want to break away from the mother body a chance to play this winter.These players, however, were not motivated by any loyalty to the Q.A.H.A.but rather feared that participation in the would-be independent E.T.I.H.L.would bring on a long suspension by the Q.A.H.A., leaving them holding the hag for a few years, if the independent group did not make a go of it.At any rate, the league, the Sherbrooke and Intermediate \u201cA\u201d District Hockey League, with Pete Couture as its president, was formed.Five teams took out franchises with the circuit\u2014Richmond, East Angus, Waterloo, Magog and the Sherbrooke Canadiens.The league, while not offering as high calibre play as the E.T.loop, nevertheless progressed favorably throughout the season with little trouble.A few protests here and there cropped up but there was no garded a* an adult\u2019s game.Î This interest being taken by the ! youth of the Dominion is a harbinger of even better days ahead for curling and possibly, in the near future of the younger element into the field of the old Scottish game.were crowned with success in 1945, the largest number in the history of the club being recorded.The irons bonspiel saw Granby taking top honors with J.E.Isabelle\u2019s rink winning the Rand Trophy.Sherbrooke rinks came next in line as Jim Fuller\u2019s quartet won the Southwood Trophy and C.Guy Bishop\u2019s foursome came out on top in the Edwards Trophy competition.The first annua] Granite Bonspiel saw Sherbrooke rinks take first-place honoris with Jim Fuller winning the coveted Record Trophy, while Bruce Mel).Miller won the Mitchell Cup.The Winter Sports Trophy was the only one which eluded Sherbrooke\u2019s grasp as it fell to J.S.Hamiltont of Lennoxville.From all indications, the future of curling will attain a peak in postwar years never dreamed of a quarter of a century ago.The game today is even spreading to the younger element with city bonspiels in the West seeing hundreds of youngsters of all ages out on the rinks

weeks ago, however, a Q.A.H.A.ruling took two games away from Waterloo which they had won over Magog and East Angus.The games were awarded to Angus and Magog because of the fact that Waterloo was using a man who was not registered by rhe Q.A.H.A.A third game, which had been won from the Sherbrooke squad by an 8-1 count, was ordered replayed because the referee in the game was the official coach of the Waterloo team.Aside from these slight upheavals, however, the hockey situa, tion in the district has been com-paratdvely quiet\u2014at least to what it was in former years.MINOR LEAGUES With regards to the minor leagues, another major change was seen at the beginning of the season with Francis Kenalty, veteran Minor Leagues Convener, resigning his position after ten years association with the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association.Taking his place is Forest Keene, well-known local sportsman.From Keene comes the information that registration in the minor group is at a high peak, coming close to an all-time record.The information is volunteered that over 700 youngsters are registered with the Q.A.H.A.in the district minor leagues.Of these, Sherbrooke has over 300 youths playing on approximately twenty teams in the city, Granby, who began Q.A.H.A.affiliation only last year, is not far behind, having some 240 kids playing on sixteen squad® in the town.Days of Marcus Continued from page 59.Drummond ville has made a great deal of progress and has about 150 young hopefuls with Q.A.H.A.cards.f There are also teams in Brompton-ville, Victoriaville and Drummond-ville which will be participating in the district Juvenile playdowns some time in March.Aside from these Q.A.H.A.-regist-ered teams, there are several other leagues operating in various parts of the Townships not affiliated to the mother body.A junior league was found to be an impossibility in Sherbrooke this year due to the fact that so many youths in that age group have gone to the armed forces.However, releases from the Army, Navy and Air Force is gradually pointing to a day when a Junior league will again be able to operate here.All in all, hockey has fared well in the Eastern Townships during these troubled times and the success met with during the war gives clear indication that hockey will be that much better when the boys have all returned from the scattered war fronts.From B.F.Hubbard\u2019s History of Stanstead County we learn the following concerning Marcus Child: (p.144) \u201cCame to Stanstead in the early days of the settlement, and was employed for a few years as clerk in the business of Levi Bigelow (possibly a relative of his mother\u2019s) at Derby Line.At a later date, he engaged in partnership with Levi Hooker in the business of drugs and medicines on Stanstead Plain.Mr.Child bought the concern and continued the business for several years.He was early appointed postmaster and magistrate.He succeeded in acquiring a large property and was one of the founders of Stanstead Seminary and a liberal contributor to the interests of the Wesleyan Church.Was among the early members who represented Stanstead County in the Provincial Parliament.\u201cIn the revolution of 1837-38 was identfied with the Radical or Reform Party.For a time he was among the proscribed and was compelled to leave the country; but this party soon came again into power.Mr.Child

could ill afford.Gates arc small at the games in the E.T.B.A.and while a nominal admission fee is charged to witness the games, the receipts do not usually amount to very much, and certainly not enough to defray the expenses which a sixty or seventy-mile trip would entail.To review the situation at present in the Eastern Townships, it would be well to point out that there are six teams in the E.T.Basketball Association\u2014the Y\u2019s Men, the Sherbrooke High School, Stanstead College, Richmond High School, the University of Bishop\u2019s College and Highlights Of Continued from page CO.1863\t1945 82nd ANNIVERSARY SHERBROOKE\u2019S OLDEST STORE I i \" ¦ Wilson Buildings -\u2014 37 * 39 Wellington Street North Branch Store \u2014 Reck Island, Que.Furniture For Your Home STEINWAY \u2014 HEINTZMAN \u2014 WILSON PIANOS VICTOR, BLUE BIRD AND COLUMBIA RECORDS POPULAR AND TEACHING MUSIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS » GURNEY \u2014 WOOD & COAL, GAS AND ELECTRIC RANGES GENUINE FRIGIDAIRES \u2014 EASY WASHING MACHINES VICTOR RADIOS H.C.WILSON SONS LIMITED 37 - 39 Wellington St.North \u2014 Sherbrooke Next to G^ana^a Theatre dares that the British Army will maintain order in Greece until the people of that country can determine their own form of Government, ^-The Sherbrooke City Council has passed a by-law to divide the command of the local police and five departments.6.\u2014British 3rd Army troops are fighting to widen two bridgeheads over the Saar river.\u2014Riots are spreading through Athens as the British troops seize E.A.M, party headquarters.i 7.\u2014United States tanks arc closing about Saarbrucken.\u2014 The Russian offensive is closing in on Budapest from three sides._ 8.\u2014The King Government was given a 148 to 70 vote majority on a confidence motion on its conscription policies.\u2014Roger Bouchard of the Sherbrooke police force was named East Angus Chief of Police and Fire.9.\u2014The Allied armies have effected a new crossing of the Saar river.11.\t\u2014United States forces have seized the strategic port of Ormoc in the Philippines.\u2014Two masked bandits held up and robbed the C.P.R.telegraph agent at Magog of $291.12.\t\u2014Camillien Houde was reelected as Mayor of Montreal by a substantial majority.\u2014Reports state that the Japanese are evacuating the Rand, These six teams have been battling it out and have now completed half of their season\u2019s schedule.The Y\u2019s Men have maintained an unbeaten record of six straight games and seem destined for the league championship.However, stiff competition has been encountered from the Sherbrooke High School and Stanstead.The University cagers have not been doing so well so far this year but they are expected to pick up at almost any point and develop into1 a dangerous threat.To the organizations which are entering teams year after year in the district cage lo\u201ep goes credit for their spirit in doing everything to keep the game alive.It doesn\u2019t take a genius to see that they are not getting very much support and are operating at a loss for the most part, but still they hang on, perhaps with the everlasting hope that some day they may be able to popularize the sport enough to break even in their expenses.The move which the local basketball moguls are making to put the game on the map is in step with a reported plan in Montreal to make the public basketball-conscious.Metropolitan officials figure that there is no reason why the game should not \u201ctake\u201d in Canada when its popularity has been so unquestionable proven in the United States.Statistics, and you can\u2019t argue against them, show that more people in the United States attend basketball than any other sport in operation there.Canadians are now beginning to figure that we, much of the same temperament as Americans, might go overboard for the sport.The plan which Montreal bigwigs were talking of hasn\u2019t materialized as yet and it is suspected, in some circles, that the idea has been shelved.However, it is believed that the idea has been set aside only temporarily.Those who are hoping to make something out of basketball are probably waiting to see what the war\u2019s end will bring.If prospects are favorable for large-scale promotion of the sport, quite a bit of dough may be thrown into the pot for the purpose of lifting the game out of the abyss into which it has fallen.I With regards to the Eastern, Townships, basketball teams arej operating in at least six centres\u2014! .Sherbrooke, Lennoxville, Stanstead,' j Granby, Richmond and Thetford Mines.! Of these six places, only four are : represented in the E.T.Basketball i Association.However, it is expected | that when travel conditions become more satisfactory, both Thetford and Granby will be included in the,^ league.I Basketball here is definitely on the upswing.More and more people I are getting interested in the game' and attendance is expected to gradu-j ally increase until pretty fair-size' | crowds are witnessing the games.\\ I Practically the only fault to findi | with basketball in the Townships is I that the gyms are all of a size which1 would lead one to suspect that they were built to be used as badminton courts.The Y.W.C.A.gym is the only one of decent size while the rest throughout the circuit are definitely midget size.Perhaps some day some kind-hearted citizen or groups of citizens will undertake the sponsoring of the | erection of some kind of recreation jhall where courts of standard size ! would be available to the teams.This would be one step towards furthering interest in basketball for ; there is no argument against the ifact that teams, playing on a different size floor every three or four days, are thrown off their regular game somewhat.It is the opinion of those on the inside in basketball circles, however, that if sufficient interest is shown in the game in the next few years, something may be done about all jthe hindrances the game is now -facing.I The girls, too, are helping in the effort to bring basketball back to its rightful position among sports.A six-team league is operating at the present time and plenty of fun, if not actual basketball, is being derived from the games in which the girls figure.As time goes on, however, It is expected that the girls, thoroughiy coached in the finer points of the | game, will get better every year and, as a result, provide a better I type of basketball for the spectators.We Pass To You, The Praises Due (On the occasion of \u201cSherbrooke Record\u2019s 4$th Anniversary) -\t\u2022 \u2022 Just once a year is not too much To sound a note of cheer, For \u201cSherbrooke Record,\u201d which as such Has served another year.A bit of honest praise is due From readers every day;

us.\u201d i That statement was the first of war-time Churchill speeches that have rung through the world like the note of a clarion.When Hitler\u2019s successes filled the free world with gloom, the British Prime Minister raised hope when there was little basis for any and inspired confidence by personifying what was called \u201cthe spirit that will beat Hitler.\u201d His tribute to the victory of \u201cthe few\u201d in the Battle of Britain will never be forgotten nad his prompt declaration of alliance with Russia when Hitler struck suddenly eastward overcame what might have been a difficult transition of public STEADY CROWTH EXPERIENCED BY CANADA PAPER Days of Marcus Continued from page 61.A BIG JOB OR A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT \u2014 Both receive oar best We are specialists in car care \u2014 but though we are equipped and staffed to practically rebuild a car, we are equally glad to receive your confidence in correcting the least auto defect.Our chief concern at this time, is to help keep every essential car on the road\u2014to help every car weather the severe cold and sleet of this time of year \u2014 and to make it possible for wartime car owners to make their autos last until new ones can be purchased.Rely on us\u2014when it comes to your car!

' * brought him into direct collision with the Judge (who) was arbitrary and unyielding.Suffice it to say that he was repeatedly fined and imprisoned for contempt of court and followed for some three years by the Judge with unrelenting persecution and severity.His property became reduced (not the Judge\u2019s you may be certain) and he was compelled to relinquish the enterprise of his paper (when?) and leave the country.He returned to Stanstead m after years, however, and for some time sustained the office of Collector of Customs.\u201d (p.150) Silas H.Dickerson was a native of New Jersey, and b.May 12, Ii99.At the age of fourteen was apprenticed to a printer in Kingston, Ont., and afterwards was a journeyman printer with Nahum Mower in Montreal where he m.Mary Price b.at Elizabethtown, N.J., Sept.25, 1797.In 1823 they removed to Stanstead where Mr.Dickerson started the British Colonist a weekly newspaper .He was appointed Collector of Customs in 1853 and in 1857 was elected Mayor .He d Oct.23, 1857.Children were Mary, b.Mar.20, 1824\u2014m.Jacob Winn; Charlotte, b.July 21, 1826\u2014-m.John R.Wells; iWilmot H., b.Sept, 19, 1828\u2014-m.Sarah Butin; Elizabeth, b.Dec.12, 11831, was for some time Preceptress \u20224n Stanstead Seminary; Caroline, b.i Feb.22, 1830; Julia, b.July 30, 1937 d.July 23, 1858; Helen R., b.Sept.24, 1838.i The first American ancestor of Isaac Helliker is referred to in N.Y.Col.Docs.(Edited by our old friend Dr.E.B.Callaghan) vol.ii pp.480-1481.Here is presented an affidavit made in the Dutch Settlement of New Utrecht on Feb.14th, 1664, at the time the English forces landed and advised the inhabitants that \u201call America from Virginia unto Boston belongs to King Charles.\u201d In this document Jacob Hellaeckens j \u201cfurther declares .that John Scott ; (of the British forces) came to him and understanding that he (Jacob) was a Magistrate, inquired if he ; (would) submit to the King\u2019s authority.\u201d Jacob was born in Holland in 1012.| _ John Helliker of the sixth genera-j tion, was b.White Plains, N.Y., ' March 10, 1745.Perry and Burney in their History of the Town of Swanton, Vermont, pp.971 t0 1023 refer to John as the first settler there and give particulars of his life.It has been verified in New York in_the Revolution vol.i pp.136 and 205, that John was inducted into the 2nd Regt.Dutchess County militia in 1775; also served with Westchester County Regt.; he probably deserted and made his way to Canada.History of Swanton says that he joined the British and served at Lachine and Quebec City; that he was located at Swanton during the Rev.war and from p.993 we learn that a band Continued on page 63.FEBRUARY VALUES \u2022\tSTRIPED FLANNELETTE ® STRIPED FLANNELETTE \u2022\tWHITE FLANNELETTE \u2022\tDIAPER FLANNELETTE « COTTON DISH TOWELLING \u2022\tLINEN WEFT TOWELLING 36\u201c\t27c\tyd.27\u201c\t21c\tyd.36\u201c\t27c\tyd.27\u201c\t27c\tyd.\t14c\tyd.\t25c\tyd.S & ÜSSES SHOES.15% Discount From Regular Prices.Regular $2.95 \u2014 $3.95 \u2014 $4.95 F.T.C0WENS STORE.ROCK ISLAND, QUE.Phone 226 Highlights Of Continued from page 61.continuing their advance it is apparent that the main strength of their counter-offensive has been blunted.\tj 23.\u2014The German penetration on ; the French front has reached a !

filled with historic i recentiy arrived from New York.Be.happenings in the progress of the «orld War' that a catalogue of events and conditions in one industry in Canada may seem somewhat out of proportion in importance, in the opinion of D.A.President and Managing Director of Whittaker, .\t_\t_ the Sherwin-Williams Company of Canada, Ltd.He writes that, however, when one realizes that the total productive and economic effort of the Dominion in each year is made up of the sum total of many accomplishments, large and small, the value of a review of these activities of the industrial and commercial life of the country becomes more apparent.Official figures of production in the paint, varnish and lacquer industry are not available for the years 1943 and 1944.Dominion Bureau of Statistics returns for 1942 show a production D.A.WHITTAKER value of $45,252,587 as compared with $25,855,506 for 1939.When official figures are issued for succeeding years they may show a production value for 1944 of close to $55,000,000, so that in the five war years the business done by the industry has been doubled in value.All of this has been accomplished under close Governmental control both as to prices and merchandising practices.As is well known, many changes turn contributed in no small degree to our joint accomplishment in a worthwhile endeavor in the great struggle we share with all the other freedom-loving peoples throughout the world.and shifts have taken place in war production within the year and these have had an effect upon total war production within our industry.Training stations and military camps have been closed to a considerable extent, ship building emphasis has been altered, and the progress of the war has brought about changes in policy and methods which have determined the calls upon us for direct war production.However, it must be pointed out that even with these changes the contribution of our manufacturers to the total war effort is still a considerable one and is likely to continue at much the present rate until hostilities cease.The domestic market is still more active, with consumer demand at a new high.While paint and varnish makers have not been able to produce all the materials that people ¦were willing to buy during the year, the production figures quoted above give definite indication that more paint and varnish products have been made available for the Canadian public by manufacturers than ever before, and this in spite of shortages of labor and raw materials and the continued operation of other restrictions necessary for an all-out war effort.The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has recently removed restrictions on the number of colors used in the manufacture of paints and varnishes But this removal can have little effect on the range of paint colors available for several months at least.The reason for this is that raw materials in short supply will prevent the making of additional colors until the manufacturers can obtain the additional supplies needed to produce a wider range of colors.A« stated, the raw material situation shows little or no real improvement from the standpoint of supply.Vegetable oils still continue scarce and this year\u2019s crop of oil-bearing seeds, such as linseed, is much shorter than last year, particularly in North America.Supplies from South Ameirca are also slow and short, and shipments of linseed from Argentina are greatly curtailed because of political conditions there.Lithopone, zinc oxide, titanium, even metal for cans and paper for cartons, all have been scarce, and without men to manufacture what materials we did have, our burdens were not lightened.However, we are not complaining unduly as we have all been in the same boat in the Dominion.On the whole, too, the difficulties, although serious, have been met and dealt with satisfactorily.A great deal of the success in thus grappling with these problems has been due to the continued and healthy co-operation within the industry, and through the industry with Government controls and officials.All of these relations have been most harmonious and this harmony has in fore
