Fifty Thousand Dollars Bail Is Granted to Maurice J.Bouliane Pending His Appeal to Supreme Court.MONTREAL, Que., May 9.\u2014Maurice J.Bouliane, mining broker convicted of the conversion of client\u2019s money to the uses of his firm, was yesterday released on bail of $50,000 by the Court of Appeal pending an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada from the judgment of the appellate tribunal here dismissing his original appeal from the conviction in the Court of King\u2019s Bench.Bouliane was convicted last fall by a jury in the Court of King\u2019s Bench.When his appeal from that conviction was heard here.Mr.Justice Allard dissented from the majority opinion that the appeal should be dismissed.That dissenting voice made it possible for Bouliane to go to the Supreme Court of Canada and his appeal to that court has already been inscribed.WINNIPEG MAN., May 9\u2014The weekly trade report of the Canadian Credit Men\u2019s Trust Association Limited for week ending May 9th,

REPORTED IN COLLISION Crews of British Steamer Pacific and German Steamer Hugo Stinnes Had to Take to Boats Following Collision Early This Morning.COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 9.\u2014The British steamer Pacific and the German steamer Hugo Stinnes collided in the Baltic today.The crews had to take to the boats because of the heavy list of the two vessels.The collision, said advices from Mykobing, Island of Falster, occurred at 3 a.m., both ships being badly damaged and calling for assistance.Danish and German lifeboats, puting out to aid them found some of the Pacific\u2019s crew in lifeboats.Lloyd\u2019s Register shows six vessels named Pacific.The one in collision in the Baltic is believed to have been one of two British boats bound for Danzig.One was a steel ship of 2,816 tons owned by the Sir W- H.Cocker Line, and the other a wooden' auxiliary vessel owned by Mrs.L.Tyrall of Dublin.It was believed that the ship was that of the Cocker Line, proceeding from Hull to Danzig with ballast and no passengers.The Hugo Stinnes is a 3,O0'0 ton vessel out of Hamburg, it had a collision with another ship near Greenwich three years ago.MADRID, May 9.\u2014Minister- of Public

Solution of Financing, Manufacturing and Marketing Problems of Newsprint Industry, Were Among Encouraging Developments.* \u2022 TORONTO, May 9.\u2014Irregular price fluctuations in which losses predominated! refle ^ed almost uninterrupted liquidation on Canadian stock exchanges ths week.The accompanying decline in p\u2018rices was not cheeked until the last hour of trading on Friday when, under the leadership of Canadian Pacific Railway and Brazilian, the Canadian list indulged in a sharp rally.Directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway announced that an interim dividend for the quarter period would be paid at the rate of I 1-4 per cent on the common shares, or 31 1-4 cents a share against the former rate of 62 1-2 cents.While it was felt that the cut was fully-justified by earnings of the railway and by the necessity of recent wage reductions of ten per cent, the stock market was unprepared for a dividend reduction of as much as 50 per cent.The shares of C-P-R-broke sharply with the news, and touched a new low of 27 5-8 in Toronto, subsequently recovering to 29 on Friday, where they are still 4 1-2 points net lower for the week.Liquidation of C.P.R.was extremely heavy when the dividend curtailment was announced, but selling presure relaxed on Friday and TP R.was one of the outstanding leaders of the late price recovery during that session.Consolidated Smelters, controlled by C.P.R., also reacted on i he news that the usual half yearly bonus of $5 a share would be paid currently in stock instead of cash.Smelters also recovered a part of its loss, however, and at 100 compares with 106 last week.An accelerated movement of wheat to Canadian marketing centres, signs of improvement in the automobile industry, and negotiations aimed at a solution of tbe financing, manufacturing and marketing problems of the newsprint industry, were among the encouraging developments of the week.The stock market was more concerned with technical factors, however, and such issues as steels utilities, base metal issues and industrials were all affected in greater uv lesser degree by pressure from New York.Brazilian Traction dipped sharply, but later recovered to 17, against 18 last week, but International Nickel was one of the least active trading mediums and actually shows a gain at 14\t3-4 compared with 14 1-2 a week ago Similarly Ford of Canada \u201cA,\u201d although not an active feature, advanced from 19 3-4 to 20 1-4, and Walkers shows no changes at six after a week of uneventful trading.-Massey Harris has declined from 5 to 4 3-4.Steels remained under pressure during the greater part of the week, and losses in Steel of Canada (Continued un page 9) SPAIN FACES NEW PROBLEM IN EDUCATION BOARD FAVORS STATUS RAISE FOR TEACHERS OF CANADIANS RECOMMENDED Senator Casgrain Has Scheme by Which It Is Intended to Discover All Undesirable Persons Living Within Canada\u2019s Borders.New Spanish Cabinet Reported to Have Issued Decree Abolishing Compulsory Religious Educa tion.NEW YORK, May 9.\u2014A special Madrid despatch to the New Yora Times today said: \u201cCompulsory religious education in Spain\u2019s public I schools was abolished in a decree issued by the cabinet last night.\u201d This new\u2019 move in the separation of the church and state was derided upon at a prolonged cabinet meeting that lasted until ntar'y midnight.Following closely upon protest to the Papal Nuncio by the Minister of Education and Justice concerning a pastoral letter by the Primate of Spain, the decree has brought the religious question into the full limelight, and both churchmen and laymen are marshalling their forces for a struggle.Already in radical elements of the new government there lias been talk of introducing the French sys tern of entirely laic education, but in view of the strength of tne church in Spain which, with its religious orders, controls one-third of the nation\u2019s wealth, more conservative leaders have realized they are facing a serious problem and must proceed carefully step by step.The new decree does not remove Catholic instruction from the schools but it authorizes non-Catholics to have their children exempted from religious studies, as for \u2019 > present the schools could carry monks as teachers, numbering only slightly fewer than the lay instructors.It is said that of the church\u2019s immense income, estimated at 460,-000,000 pesetas, from its properties and interests, including schools and large share holdings in railways and mines, almost half comes f.om parochial schools.McGill University and Protestant Commissioners to Co-operate in Effort to Raise Standard of Training and Efficiency.MONTREAL, May 9.\u2014At yesterday\u2019s monthly meeting of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners Dr.Ira McKay, dean of the Faculty of Arts, McGill University, announced that McGill University lias in contemplation a scheme of | training for the high school diploma which involves a full year of sys-| tematic work after graduation.Such ,a move was unanimously favored by the Commissioners.This proposal is ] in line with an effort which is being made to raise the standard of training and efficiency sponsored by McGill University in co-operation with the Protestant Board.At present the educational training can be taken concurrently with the work for the degree of B.A.so that the effect of the new scheme would be to increase by one year the time now required to qualify for the High School diploma.Dr.MacKay asked that candidates who took the additional year of training should be considered eligible for an extra increment of two hundred dollars to initial salary so that a sufficient number might be induced to take this longer course.By doing so, the Dean said, the Board would greatly assist the University in its effort to raise the standard of training and efficiency of High School teachers.Enrolment figures for the past month showed an enrolment of 3.439 as against 30,340 for April, 1930.Figures submitted for the pa:t six years indicated that this was the peak attendar.ee for the month.OTTAWA, May 9.\u2014 Registration every person over the age of sixteen residing in Canada, provided for in a bill introduced in the Senate by Senator J.P.B.Casgrain, is designed to assist in the preservation of law and order and promote the general good of the country.This was explained by the sponsor of the bin.Senator Casgrain said registration of all persons resident in Canada, with certain exceptions set forth in the bill, would enable the authorities to check up on undesirable persons who came in from other countries.Each person registering would be furnished with a card bearing his photograph and signature, to be carried at all times.This would serve as a means of identification under all circumstances, and would show the bearer to be a bona fide resident of this country.In the event of a person acting in such a way as to arouse the suspicions of the authorities, a demand could always be made for the card of registration.He had no intention of interfering with the movements of visitors to Canada or of any law-abiding citizen, said Mr.Casgrain.He expressed the opinion that it would probably be considered by a special committee of the Senate.QUICKACTfON REQUESTED BY YOUNG KILLER \u201cWhat\u2019s the Use of Foolin\u2019

Tourist and Summer Travel Is at Its Height.QUEBEC, May 9.\u2014The provincial Department of Roads \u201cdoes nottake a favorable view\u201d of long relay races along the provincial highways during the summer, J.L.Boulanger, deputy Minister of Highways, stated He was referring to a scheduled relay race from Montreal to Sherbrooke to Quebec and back to Montreal.A similar race was held last year.\u201cThis is the busiest time of the year for tourist traffic and I am certain that this source of racing is always a source of danger.In the winter time the dangers accompanying the races are negligible, but in summer time it\u2019s another thing,\u201d Mr.Boulanger said.LARGE DEFICIT REVEALED IN AUSTRALIA\u2019S FINANCES Report Covering Receipts and Expenditures for Past Ten Months Made Public.CANBERRA, Australia, May 9.\u2014 A treasury deficit of $96,000,000 was revealed today in a report covering receipts and expenditures for the P^si ten months.At the same time reports from Sydney showed a huge decrease in Australia\u2019s foreign trade.Merchandise.imported within the past nine months was valued at $275,000,000 less than in the corresponding nine months of the previous

Effort Will Be Made to Sift Out Difficulties Between Various Nations.Y TÀSMJMCITOM, May 9.\u2014 W Th® United States Government ia already beginning to prepare for the disarmament conference at Geneva in February next year.Today President Hoover started out for a week-end at his camp on the Rapidan River in Virginia, with the chiefs of the land figging forces of the United States.A few days ago opening the International Chamber of Commerce convention, the President pointed out the world was more heavily armed at present than it was before hostilities started in 1914, and this week-end party is taken as indicating an assessment of the American position preparatory to formulation of a policy to be followed at Geneva.Secretary-of-State Henry L.Stim-son has been studying the questions which may oome up in February and it is intimated the Government i$ not pessimistic, an attitude of which well informed observers here do not partake.In the next few months every effort will be made to smooth out the disagreements found among the policies of the fifty nations which will sit around the Council Board at Geneva on work upon the draft treaty drawn Hon.H.H.Stevens Intimates that a General Redistribution Bill May Be Introduced at Next Session.OTTAWA, ONT., May 9.\u2014A general redistribution bill will be introduced in Parliament next session or the session following.This intimation was made in the House of Commons last night by Hon.H.H.Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce.Political observers foresee the possibility of Toronto obtaining two more seats in the House, Montreal, two; Ottawa, one; Winnipeg, one or two, and Vancouver, one or two.The last general redistribution bill was passed in Parliament in 1924.Changes in boundary lines of various constituencies

Time Repealed by New Act.LONDON, May 9.\u2014Sunday observance has gained a point.Hard on the heels of its decision to legalize Sunday moving picture shows, the House of Comomns yesterday gave second reading to a bill to close shops on Sundays.The bill repeals old Sunday Observance Acts which run back to the days when merry Charles was King.Under these old statutes\u2014still technically law but not enforced\u2014 an offending storekeeper may ie put in the stocks; the goods of a lawbreaker may be sold and the proceeds, or perhaps the goods themselves, given to the poor.Even the Sunday traveller on the broad highv/ay is left to the mercy of light-fingered gentlemen of the road.The new Act imposes no such penalties.It provides fines for the opening of shops on the Sabbath Day contrary to its provisions.But, while its general provision is that slurps must close on Sundays, it has its exceptions.One Sabbatarian NEW YORK, May 9.\u2014 Francis (two gun) Crowley, nineteen, held

dancer, Billie Dunne, in whose west 90th street apartment Crowley and Rudolph \u201cFat\u201d, Durin-ger were captured, was responsible for her former sweetheart's arrest, police said.Crowley telephoned her at the apartment \u201cto get out and make 1 room for a regular girl\u201d.Police got the information from the dance hall where the Dunne girl works as a hostess.Crowley\u2019s comment to his guards as he was being taken to jail was: \u201cYou ought to give a badge to Billie Dunne.She\u2019s a cop now.\u201d Helen Walsh, sixteen years of age, who was with him in the bullet and gas spattered building when two hundred police surrounded it on Thursday, will be the main witness at his tidal for the murder of Frederick Hirsch, Nassau County policeman.Miss Walsh was in an automobile with Crowley when Hirsch was shot.The Walsh girl is being held as a witness.She was the star witness in the grand jury chambers yesterday when a murder indictment was returned against Crowley.She revealed that Crowley forced her to write notes during the police siege.Most of the notes told of her | love for Crowley.District Attorney ; Edwards, of Nassau County, said the girl had expressed fear and hate of Crowley since her arrest.Duringer, taken to the Bronx, \u2019«-as indicted for the murder of Virginia Brannen, Bangor, Maine, girl who worked here as a dance hall hostess.Police say Crowley and Duringer took the girl for an automobile ride, but Duringer confessed that he alone killed her with Crowley\u2019s revolver.Jealousy was his motive.JUDGMENT RESERVED BY COURT ON RIGHT OF

week-end land forces is concerned, it does not appear probable the United States would have any difficulty in agreeing to any reasonable limitation of this branch of the war machine, but when it comes to the navy and the insistence by American experts on large cruisers that is another matter.President Hoover\u2019s disarmament speech to the Chamber of Commerce was interpreted in some quarters as side-stepping the questions of revision of war debts and tariffs, but it is the concensus on second thought the President had been waiting an opportunity to reiterate before the world an idea continually in the forefront of his policy since he took office.DENSE FOG IN HARBOR CAUSE OF COLLISION Shipping Generally Was Paralyz ed Today in New York Harbor \u2014Ferry Schedules Disrupted.NEW YORK, May 9.\u2014A heavy fog over New York harbor today paralyzed shipping and caused a minor collision between two liners in Ambrose Channel.The Lloyd Sabaudo liner Conte Biancamano and the Eastern Prince of the Prince Line, both outbound, collided in the channel during the heavy mist.The Eastern Prince radioed that its bridge and superstructure had been damaged, but that it would proceed to its South American port.The Italian liner, bound for that country, was undamaged.The White Star liner Majestic, with 639 passengers, ready to sail midnight, was held at her North River pier.Coast guard cutters and police launches were searching off Mirton\u2019s Point for a vessel blowing distress signals.When boats reached the spot the siren had stopped and no vessel was found.Ferry schedules were disrupted.COLLEGE MERGER MAY BE SETTLED BY CHURCH GROUP OTTAWA, May 9.\u2014After listening to arguments for three I days, the Supreme Court of ! Canada reserved judgment as to | whether the Provincial Legislatures or the Dominion Parliament are to control the radio broadcasting in the Dominion.The argument, which closed yesterday, was featured by brief statements by the counsel for Ontario and New Brunswick, and a brief reply to the arguments advanced by Quebec by W.N.Tilley, counsel for the Dominion.Stressing the many uses to which radio was put, Charles Lanctôt, K.-C., and Aime Geoffrion, K.C., counsel for Quebec, presented the case for the provinces.They contended advertising and commercial uses were only a small part of the benefits to be derived from radio The more important part of broadcasting was for educational, religious, and musical and artistic purposes.It was a dispute in connection with the Quebec Hour, a feature sponsored by the Government of Quebec, which was the immediate cause of the case coming before the court, said Mr.Geoffrion.The Dominion Government refused to grant a broadcasting license to a man who was to put the Quebec Hour on the air.The argument traversed a wide range of subjects.It involved primarily an interpretation of those sections of the British North America Act which define the respective powers of fhe Dominion Parliament and the provincial legislatures.But to apply these sections to radio involved a discussion of the technical side of the subject.Then the international conventions and treaties governing the allotment to wave lengths had to be EDISON DOES NOT BELIEVE BOAST MADE BY RUSSIANS FORT MYERS, Fla., May 9.-Thomas A.Edison took time oft from his rubber experiments here to brand a report of successful extraction of rubber from crude oil in Russia as a \u201cfake.\u201d The aged inventor had just read on account of Soviet experiments with oil.\u201cI don\u2019t think the .Moscow report is true,\u201d Mr.Edison said.\u201c1 don\u2019t believe one can get good rubber from oil.I would even ;,o so far as to say oil rubber is a fake.\u201cThe Russians, to my knowledge, are working on extraction of rubber from the guayule plant, which is now being grown successfully in the United States.I think they also are working on other plants but they had better stick to the guayul î because it is the best rubber producer outside the tropics.\u201d ,\t, ,,\u2014\t.-,\t, I Mr.Edison was emphatic in say- considered and the obligations of ing he beiieved the Soviet five- Canada as a party to these agree ments outlined.Sharp cleavage of opinion as to the nature of radio appeared between the opposing counsel.For the Dominion it was argued that by its very nature radio could not piember indeed opposed it on the grounds that it had one clause to close shops, and fourteen clauses to say how they should be opened again.Another critic called the bill \u201cgrandmotherly.\u201d Under its provisions, he said, beer could be bought\u2014but no ginger ale.A meal could be purchased in a restaurant, but a bun could not be bought in a park.The bill is not expected to become law at the present session.OTTAWA, May 9.\u2014The question of amalgamation of the Presbyterian College of McGill, Montreal, with Knox College of Toronto, will prob-: b® a local matter.Waves were ably be presented before the Gen- 0\u201cî \"V*11 directions for thou-eral Assembly of the Presb>rierian fraf/ns-°^\u201c!le®.f\"d y®re capabte of Church, which meets in Toronto on ^\thei' br°ad the first Wednesday in June, ac- ^ ^ L t\"8 l m ^h'C1 cording to Hoc.Dr.Eobor, J.hnot.n, !

for a minute.Yes, sir, be did so.! When I first saw him I almost \\ mistook him for Yellow Wing the Flicker.I saw him fly up there and the under sides of his wings and tail are yellow.Just notice, however, that he has a red mustache instead of a black one such as Y\u2019el-low Wing hack home wears.Then, too, there isn\u2019t any red on the back of his head.So he must be one of Yellow Wing\u2019s cousins.How, under the sun, did he alight \u2019JP there and avoid those spines, and what is he going to do there?Certainly he cannot drum, tor that cactus isn\u2019t hard like wood.\u201d Farmer Brown's B057, in speaking of the bird's mustache, had nor meant a real mustache.He had meant the two marks, one on each side of the face, which looked like a mustache.And he was quite right in thinking that this was a cousin of Yellow Wing.It was Cactus Bill the Gilded Flicker.He is found only in warm regions of the Southwest, especially in the dry regions, where the giant cactus grows.Farmer Brown\u2019s Boy didn\u2019t hava \u201cWhen I first saw him I almost took him for Y\u2019ellow Wing the Flicker\u201d to wait long to find out what Cactus Bill intended to do.He went to work exactly as Yellow Wing goes to work on a tree in which he intends to make a nest.He paid no attention to Farmer Brown\u2019s Boy and Flip.He just went about his job of cutting a hole in that spine-covered cactus.Presently he was joined by Mrs.Cuclu:, Bill, who relieved him while ho tried to clean himself up a»little.Instead of Having a bard job, such as Mr.ami Mrs.Yellow Wing have when they undertake to cut out a home chip by chip those two wore hat ing a messy job.Y'eis, sir, they were having a mtssy job.Y\u2019ou see, instead of boring into hard wood they were cutting into soft, fleshy tissue filled with sap or juice somewhat sticky.They just couldn\u2019t hejip getting more or less smeared with it, and Farmer Brown\u2019s Boy suspected that \u2019 alf the work of home-building ir such a place must be in getting cleaned up afterward.\u201cThat two-legged creature reams to be taking a\terest in us and what we are doing,\u201d said Cactus Bill to his mate.\u201cWhat of it?\u201d retorted she \u201cHe can\u2019t bother us up here.I would like to see him try to climb up here.I would so.\u201d Mrs.Cactus Bill chuckled.So did Cactus Bill himself.They were thinking of those sharp spines that, covered that plant, \u201cCutting out a home here is rather a messy job,\u201d continued Cactus Bill, \u201cbut once done we have the safest place I know of.My dear, you are getting that juris all over your neck and breast.\u201d \u201cCan\u2019t help it,\u201d mumbled Mrs.Cactus Bill, fCopyright, 1931, T.W.Burgess) The next Home.\u2019 story: \u201cThe Perfect \tTroubled with \tS,\tber Kidneys \t11 years IptiXs\tYj Mrs.J.BeaoHea, Chatham, M N.B., writes! \u201cI was anal ole to g dr JiJkfi&iM jjtVrvnfrOQT01*\tC^v-\tM do my work.Spent a.Jot of money for medicines.Tried tyî|[ many doctors.A beat aC Gin klpL Pills gave me ranch lettitf.I am thanking yon and am tell-¦rM ing my neighbors hair they yff did me good.\u201d \tÆ\tGive vonr hard-working kid- \t~\tneys the soothing bHp of Gin Pills.50c a hox at-year.R.KKNNKDY.General Ajrent, Ml St.Tame* Street Writ, Montreal.Pay only $10 down for an ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR Enjoy this modern refrigeration.It will make plenty of ice cubes.Also new desserts and salads that you may not have served before.Reliable temperature (electrically controlled) is perfect health protection-dependable and safe.Milk, cream, butter, vegetables, meat\u2014 all perishable foods\u2014are kept fresh, wholesome and healthful electrically.Many left overs may be served again at considerable saving in food costs.Two years to pay.MANY MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM Kelvinators for as little as $215.00 G*E.Refrigerators for as little as $282.00 Southern Canada Power Company Limited \"Owned by those it serves\u201d l PAGE FOUR SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD.SATURDAY.MAY 9.193T.Service!

THIS DAY THIRTY YEARS AGO From the Files of the Sherbrooke Record.May 9th, 1901.A son was born today to Mr.and Mrs.L.Edward The Canadian Pulpwood Association has its head office far removed from the pulpwood centers, or it would long since have arisen to the need for a public rebuttal of the claim that Russian billets for the making of newsprint are of better or of equal quality to the Canada spruce.The Russian pulpwood has not the fine fibre of the wood grown in Canada, but the Russians blameless, where shall we find judges and juries?studied their requests for samples from the United\t* »\t* States and prepared their wood more carefully, shipping only pulpwood of uniform size and dressing it with more care, also seeing that the imbedded bark knots were cut out of the logs so that the mills could give the quality and tensile strength demanded.The officers of the pulpwood association should long since have issued clear instructions pc'ope ''ar\u2018: wd\u20acI> tke people dont?for the preparation of pulpwood for the U.S.mills.Any added cost improving quality would have been recompensed the dealers.Explicit and easily understood finishing directions could have been made a part of each contract and subcontract.To be sure the industry was handicapped for a time hy foolish freight rates whereby the importer of Russian pulpwood had a specific advantage in lower freight rates than were demanded from the Canadian exporter.The Canadian Board of Railway Commisaioners were dumb as ^ usual on this preferential, and only when it was Codere, of Sherbrooke.\" made public in the Record was it remedied.Again, the foolish talk of embargoes on Canadian pulpwood going to the United States made these paper mill owners receptive towards any other source of supply.They were welcome-minded towards the Russian product, though the quality nulls have changed their mind about it.People do not recognize that the suggestion that we make a law\u201d is detrimental and disturbing to capital and industry.There are able men in the pulpwood exporting industry in Canada, men well able to look sftcr themselves and to play the game under existing rules, but their association, if it is to he active and helpful, should be more central.Instead of begging for publicity in matters the general good of the industry, they present it as would any other industry.The Russian exporters and the Ui______ Importers took advantage of their somnolence as an institution or association.Cyrus McRae, of Cookshire, who has just returned with Mr.Sharman from a research trip through the New England paper mill district, says that the pulp mills there admit the better fiber quality of the Canada spruce, but emphasizes the fact that from Russia they get a betterlooking outside finish on their pulp logs.This is « detail which should be easily remedied.A am bouquet of flowers as a slight mark of the appreciation of the girls for the work done, by Mrs.Currie for them.Mrs.Currie thanked the donors for their kind remembrance of her and spoke , .,\t'\t-\t.-\t, r j t-, of the great pleasure that she had : highest percentage m grade III, won, taken in her work with the girls I\tbyr^r+rei1CK\tl\tW\tm\t,\tMiss Marjory Steel,\tthen presented ;\tDonated by\tMrs.Ray Waldron for\tMrs.Wesley Gilman\twith a\tgift, (.rawing, won by George Rowell | from the girls, to which Mrs.Gilman Donated by Mrs Luman Waldron responded in a most pleasing man-; for wntmg, won by Mildred Wal- ner.The singing of the national if \u201e\tt v,\tt>\t.\tanthem brought an enjoyable\teven- by Mrs\tJohn\tBam\tfor\ting to a close.x\tv\u2014r j\tGeneral Notes won by Gordon ^empsev!^ \u2019 ^ n\tRi-t\u2019b°f hK!ngst,01?\u2019 Donated by Mrs.Elmer Dempsey\t«^ther w.th her three chil- r writing, won by Mildred Glenny lu611\u2019 Ewm*b \u2022Ian\u2019es and John, are \u2022 -\t-\t- - - -\tj th6 guests for the presen*- '\u2022* +v\u201c *\t*\t\u2022\tDonated by Mrs.Ralph Cairns for r > Still, if it isn\u2019t right to judge others unless you are j k^hest Percentage in grade IV and : ^ng *\tMrS\u2018 Matthew | V, won by Verhe Waldron.\tvt,\tm r c* .v Donated by -Mrs.Jack Glenny for\tMJS\u2019 £' J' St™thers, of | highest percentage in scripture in U?nUe?v\u2019 ^eie thee\\?UeStSi °-S Su2~ grades V, VI and VII, won by Hazel L^Craighead.\u201d16 °f Mr- ^ MrS\u2019 R' Donated by Mrs.Elmer Dempsey | vÜ\t\"Y retdrncd ?for English, won by Irwin Ord \u2019 : Mondai, after spending the week-Donated by Mrs.John Bain f(>1.!
