Charlottetown, P.E.I, was the guest speaker and gave a very interesting outline of his own experience as a Holstein breeder.Since that time Mr.Jones has been honored by receiving from the Holstein-Frieslan Association of Canada a Master Breeder's Shield as a testimony of his outstanding success.To avoid overcrowding and to assure that all guests will receive equal accommodation, only 175 tickets will be sold this year.The various committees are busy making the best arrangements possible for the comfort and entertainment of all guests.At the conclusion of the banquet and programme

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18th, 1931 Huntingdon Town Council The adjourned meeting of the Hun- tingdon Town Council was held on Monday evening, all members present.The accounts as presented were ordered paid: D.Faubert, $12.65; John Macrow, $34.; Mose Galipeau, $3.; Levi Kelly, $30.90; Fire Committee, $5.19; Dominion Floral Co., $15.50; Department of Roads, $185.50.Fred Laberge presented his account for the painting of the bridges.The balance due was $300.plus extras to the extent of $14.25.The account was ordered paid.Mr.C.M.Oney, collector of Customs and Excise, appeared before the council in regards to an account rendered for the sending of fire engine to Customs House on day of fire.Owing to the fact that the engine was not used and that the charges in connection with the transporting the engine was but $2.the council accepted the offer of Mr.Oney of $10.to settle the account.The council was pleased to accept the offer, for in no way does the town wish to impose upon the N.Y.C.who ordered the engine sent to Atheistan.Mr.Oney stated that the fire was started by a cigarette and that the costs entailed will fall upon the individual who was responsible.Mr.J.D.Bicknell: Before you vote on that question, how are you going to treat the resolution on the Town books saying the charge shall be $50.for the engine when sent out to ea {ire?oo Ald.Kelly: As the reels and engine were not used, and furthermore if some day Huntingdon was in a predicament on account of fire perhaps we would have to call upon the N.Y.C.to bring in tank cars of water.Their co-operation at such a time would be inestimable.The N.Y.C.is also a taxpayer of Huntingdon.Mr.Bicknell: That is all quite true, and I am in sympathy with the N.Y.C.but how are you going to overrule the resolution.The vote was taken and carried un- arymously in accepting the offer of 10.A letter was read from David Hig- ginson re charge for business tax.Mr.Higginson claimed not to be in business and being present at the meeting presented the facts.The council were unanimous in striking off the business tax charge of $4.Mr.Bicknell: 7% months ago I came here and made comments on the present water by-law which I thought needed modification.The charges for water service are not equally levied, particularly to the garages and the hotel.At that time Ald.Derochie said \u201cthat was a matter under consideration, and insinuated that new rates could not come into effect before the first of the year.I ave looked over the minutes of the various council meetings and nothing appears to be in them on this question and it is therefore believed it has never been dealt with.You will have but one more regular meeting this year.I think you should have i the by-law modified, otherwise we will all have to pay the same rate next year, which is not exactly just.For comparison purposes let me cite a few water tax rates: New York Central Railway, $400; Canadian National Railway, $400; O'Connor Bldg.$64.25; O'Connor Bros.garage, $12.50: Huntingdon Chateau, $50.Here might I cite that the Chateau has 30 bedrooms with bath, public toilets, urinals and water is used in liberal quantities in its kitchen and laundry.The Chateau also has a 3 inch connection.J.H.Demers pays $37.50, Wallace Warden, $37.50, the Brown Bldg.$37.50.1 could mention other similar cases.I am quite prepared to support the calling of a public meeting of the ratepayers to revise the water rates.It takes 20 days to introduce a new by-law.The water work department of the town is not carrying itself financially, as you all very well know.You are obliged to take money out of the general fund and when you take money from that fund it leaves you short to accomplish the needed works in the town.When the money shortage is noted, money has to be borrowed.then all the taxpayers have to contribute, and that is not altogether fair.Mayor Brown: We should work fast if we hope to do anything.Mr.George Hunter: I would like to have an expression of all the aldermen on this subject.Ald.Lefebvre: I happen to be or the directorate of the Chateau anc know some of its problems in connection with the water service.Owing to the lack of pressure the Chateau wag obliged to install a booster pump.The pump cost $800.The electric power required to operate the pump each month is $3.75.The deterioriation and 1 pkeep of this pump and power costs $172.per annum plus the $50.for water.Therefore the Chateau pays $222 for its water annually.Ald, Hunter: Had the Chateau installed the ordinary type of toilets, the booster pump would not have been necessary.This water rate question was brought up before, and it was then sala it wiuld be dealt with before the new year.+ Ald, Derochie: I think the rates could stand jacking up.not all of them, but several.The water loss has been known to the board for some time.C.M.Oney: If you had the water coming down the town mains that overflows the tank you could afford to reduce the water rates.(lauzhter).Occasions occur at my place when we can\u2019t go to the garage without getting wet, unless we phone the power house beforehand.Ald.Kelly: If our water rates were sufficient to pay the water department costs we would have somewhere between $1000 and $1400 per year to spend on town improvements.Ald.Caza: I am in favour of having new rates for water and corrected so as to come into effect January 1st.Mr.Bicknell: I am not asking, or suggesting that all water rates be increased.but suggest the list be revised, especially for hotels and garages \" (Continued on page 4) ey WE ao CORNWALL MAN DISAPPEARS Left Gun and Clothes at Huntingdon Chateau to be Sent Home The mysterious disappearance of Lt.Col.F.G.Robinson, of Cornwall, is giving a great deal of worry to many people.The Lt.Col.was in Huntingdon, and it was from here that his hunting equipment was expressed back to Cornwall after his staying at the Chateau overnight.According to the press reports available, Lt.Col.Robinson, in company with a Mr.H.G.Pitt, also of Cornwall, left on a hunting trip on November 3rd.The men were to meet with friends at Lancaster.Mr.H.G.Pitt is sald to be quite well off and that Lt.Col.Robinson is also quits at ease financially.The men did not return to Cornwall as was expected but they did register at the Hunting- don Chateau.When at Huntingdon they intended to cross the border, but not having a hunting permit Lt.Col.Robinson was obliged to leave his gun in Canada.He requested the Chateau management to express his gun and hunting clothes to Cornwall.He left money to prepay the shipment.The Chateau was instructed not to ship the goods until the week following.On Thursday last the parcel was received at\u2019Cornwall, and his wife was much surprised.The telephone wires were put into play and they gathered clues from Huntingdon that more or less set Mrs.Robinson at ease.She then knew he had not been killed or suffered injury when hunting, but as to his whereabout was still a mystery.Lt.Col.Robinson was the organist of St.Paul's United Church.Cornwall, and on Sunday, Nov.8th the special anniversary music had to be cancelled on account of his not being present.On Nov.11th as commanding officer of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highland regiment, he was expected to attend the Armistice dinner and Remembrance Day ceremony, but did not put in an appearance.The police of Cornwall, as well as of the Provincial force have taken a keen interest in the case, although without request from the interested parties.According to the Gazette of Monday, Mrs.Robinson has received a letter written by Robinson and mailed in Los Angeles on Nov.8th.The letter says he left to get away from business and to take a rest.His letter further intimated that he might start up business in that part of the country.À further letter has been received from him at Vancouver, B.C.On Sunday, friends of the Robinson family were in Huntingdon and called at the Chateau.They informed the clerks that Robinson's disappearance was still a mystery, and that before his leaving Cornwall had left his insurance papers exposed upon his office desk.Herdman

intelligence as to know where to go to pay off a note.Money was borrowed from the Huntingdon Branch of the Bank of Montreal for ad improvement made in town on Lake Street.The feathered kind have contributed in the past towards improving the town's appearance through the building of the Bowling Green.80 tonight, Mr.Sparrow has been informed, a 35 1b.turkey is going to walk in the front door of the bank into the vestibule and make an announcement to the general public.The announcement, Mr.Tom is going to make is that he is going to be raffled off at the Garden Theatre on Friday night.For fear some of the people who are to buy the 25¢ raffle tickets do not see Mr.Tom tonight, (Wednesday, Nov.18th) he will take up his roost in the bank lobby again Thursday night.The 35 lb.Tom will be at the Garden Theatre on Friday night, where the Bowling Club Stag party is being held.The chairman of the Stag party committee is Dr.H, R.Clous- ton, and it is to the Doctor the honor belongs of leading \u201cOld Tom\u201d about the hall on a small boy's waggon.Yes, Friday night is to be a night of fun.Bingo, under the direction of Stanley Popeck is to be in one of the amusement corners, A year ago a similar Stag party was held.50 turkeys were raffled.30 geese and 60 roosters were given as prizes.This year the roosters will be given as card prizes but only turkeys will be raffled.No geese or ducks being purchased.The door prize a year ago was a little pig.It was D.Lloyd Kelly who let the pig out of the box with a baby's bonnet upon its snout.The door prize this year is not being divulged before hand, but it will be a lively actor and one that will provoke much merriment.The bowlers look for cards being played at 50 tables.The refreshments are being served by Mr.Fred Langevin, of the Hun- tingdon Chateau.The refreshments are to be dry, but the party is to be lively.Free smokes for those who wish to draw upon the weed.Rockburn A most enjoyable program was presented in the Church Hall on 8atur- day evening which was sponsored by the Misses Robb and Mr.and Mrs.Raper, and in which they were ably assisted by Miss Dorothy Barr, elocu- tlonist, Miss Fanning pianist, and Messrs.Whitelaw and Stevenson, soloists, all of Montreal.The Robb sisters are not strangers to audiences in this district, and their appearance assured a full house, numbered in the gathering being many from Orms- town, Elgin, Athelstan and Hunting- don.The program opened with a chorus by the entire cast, followed by vocal duets, quartettes, solos and recitations, Interspersed with some very amusing skits, such as the corn husking and scare-crow scene, radio- broadcasting and the camp-fire scene.If special mention were made of any number it would be the Dance of the Paper Dolls, which brought down the house and elicited repeated encores.During their stay in Rockburn the entire company was entertained in the homes of Miss E.Dunsmore and Miss F.Johnston, and we anticipate with gréat pleasure their return at some future date.On Sunday afternoon the pulpit in the Rockburn Church was occupied by Dr.Leatham of 8t.Andrew's Church, Ottawa.assisted by the Rev.P.McK.Sampson of Athelstan and the pastor,

the deficit which now exists.He presented a very clear and concise statement of the work and needs of the Church and expressed the thought that the present financial condition will be quickly overcome.The musical part of the service was conducted by the concert company which had kindly remained over for the occasion, special numbers being a quartette by the Misses Robb and Mrs.Raper, and

Muskrats Game Warden Avila Caza of St.Anicet and Officer Isale Pilon of the Quebec Department of Fish and Game had rather an exciting time near Hopkin's Point Saturday afternoon when they went to investigate the report which had been previously given to the Game Warden that muskrats were being trapped in that vicinity.One of the suspects was Jock Ozar, who resides on an island directiy below Hopkins Point.The officers went to his home where they found more than 40 muskrat skins which they confiscated, but Ozar was absent.Going out a short distance from the island In their boat they met a stranger in a row boat.Pulling up alongside they asked the etranger his name to which he re- plled Jock Ozar.The man thereupon noticed his muskrat skins in the bottom of the officers\u2019 boat, and demanded their return at the same time lifting his gun.Pilon grappled with him, striking his arm and throwing the gun into the water.An axe was also taken from the boat and the man sent to his home.A

action.Huntingdon gained one point in the first quarter and led by 6-0 at the end of the first half.In the last quarter Ormstown earned her only touchdown.Chambers of Huntingdon had the ball in his

Association; Ontario-Quebec Newspaper Association; Class A.Weekly Group.Subscription rates, Canada $1.50 year; Foreign $2.00.Agents: A.Beaudin & Son, Ormstown, Que.; J.O\u2019Nell, Valleyfield, Que.Huntingdon, Que., Wednesday, November 18th, 1931 Cancelling C.N.R.Train Service Saturday morning official word came to Huntingdon that the morning train from Montreal and the afternoon train going to Montreal on the local C.N.R.branch line would be cancelled after November 21st.The same train service going to Hemmingford in the morning and to Montreal in the afternoon is also to be cancelled.These cancellations figure along with many other train schedules which are to be withdrawn on that date throughout the Dominion.The reason for so doing is credited to Sir Henry Thornton who hopes to curtail expenses.Justified in taking such action in some cases, but not in all.Sir Henry is perfectly Curtailment can certainly be made of many trains on main lines, especially where train services are run almost hourly and for competitive reasons.It was in the year 1929 that the Hemmingford train was first ordered cancelled.The people asked the late Hon.J.A.Robb to intercede on their behalf, and the train service was re-instated.After the death of Mr.Robb, D.J.O'Connor was accorded an acclamation and was the Member of Parliament for this electoral division at the session held in the winter of 1930.The Hemmingford train service was again about to be - discontinued, but again the people preyed upon the parliamentary representative, and the train service was maintained.It has long been said that the C.N.R.is out of the hands of the Government but the above is ample proof to the contrary.Will the people allow the present C.N.R.service be discontinued?It is quite true the passenger service on these particular trains in question is light, but to the communities which they serve, these trains are necessary, and indispensable for express and mail service.To mail a letter from Huntingdon to Pranklin or Hemmingford, ac- * cording to the proposed mail service, it will take over two days time: Suppose a letter was addressed to someone on the Franklin rural free delivery, or to the Hemmingford community, how long will it take to get to its addressee?Mailed in Huntingdon Monday noon, it would go to Orms- town on Tuesday morning.Tuesday night it would be taken to Franklin and on Wednesday morning or afternoon it would be delivered.The same service would be accorded mail to Hemmingford.As the late Hon.J.A.Robb and Mr.O'Connor interceded for the train service, so surely can the present member, Dr.J.C.Moore.It is not to be expected that our member will take it upon himself to see that the railway service is continued; but if the present service is .desired it is the duty of the municipal councils to pass such resolutions.\" Resolutions expressing a desire for the continued rail service sent to Dr.Moore would give him reason to approach the powers that be, and with such resolutions in his possession it Is reasonable to believe cognizance of his request will be adhered to.The Town of Huntingdon passed such a resolution at its adjourned meeting on Monday night.The new railway schedule is supposed to come into effect on Sunday.November 22.It is therefore advisable that the municipalities that will be affected and wish this railway service continued meet immediately and pass the necessary resolution and have it in the hands of Dr.Moore this week.The Hazardous Cooper Corner Once again our Town Council in Huntingdon has passed a resolution pertaining to the dangerous corner at the Cooper corper on the highway at the west end of the town.The Minister ot Roads, the Hon.J.E.Perrault is well informed upon the hazards of this corner for many priv- \u2018ate individuals have taken it upon themselves to inform him on this matter.The Government engineers have filed reports on the site- and surely all the data is now before the minister for his information.As a malter of fact, it has been recommended to the Department of Roads by individuals that the property in question be purchased and thereby improve the highway, and make that portion ot it one of the most picturesque spots throughout its entire length.Our local member Mr.Martin B.Fisher is acquainted with the corner and will do his utmost to see to it that the Roads Department makes favourable progress towards rectifying this hazardous curve.Anonymous Letters Are Not Strategic With cold weather coming on, and slippery reads, it is hoped the Roads Department will now take immediate action.; Strategy in business means just what strategy means in war\u2014mak- ing conditions around you most advantageous to yourself and most dis- Strategy can be de- astrous

ideas set forth in the anonymous letter addressed to W.G.Mc- The secretary of a Gerrigle last week are neither dynamic nor strategic.school works for the school board, not for his personal benefit.Mr.Mc- Gerrigle is not intending to go to the needed consolidated school, nor will his family who are already grown up.Mr.McGerrigle, like many other citizens possibly favours the new educational method and that is no reason why an anonymous letter such as appeared in last week's Bulletin should be sent him.The remark, threatening the burning of McCormick's barns is also distasteful.A letter such as that makes one feel the new school is needed more than ever, for only an insufficiently educated person would have such an undeveloped mind to conceive and write such a letter.No doubt the Gleaner will receive an anonymous letter after writ- hg the above, but that's nothing.Newspapers throughout the country grow accustomed to receiving such letters, and strange as it may seem can usually trace their origin.No doubt Mr.McGerrigle could inform the Gleaner as to who the author of the letter was, but that is of no par- © ticular interest to anybody.The letter has unquestionably done much harm to the cause of the people unfavourably disposed to Consolidated &éhool for Ormstown.In the eyes of the public, some of the innocent will have to suffer along with the guilty individual, being credited in the minds of some as having possibly mailed the letter in question which read a8 follows: Ormstown, Nov.9th, 1931 Mr.W.G.McGerrigle - Dear Sir:\u2014 \u2018This is to warn you that if you go ahead any more with consolidation and do not open the small schools we will tar and feather you and pitch you in the river, also we will send McCormick's barns up in smoke.Now be careful, A Friend.Here and There \" How true it is, as the Bowmanville Statesman says, that most newspapers are reminded of their mistakes.A newspaper car pursue its happy course, giving praise to local organizations and individuals, encouraging the living, speaking well of the dead, giving many columns of free pub- city to this and that cause, and boosting the community and its interests generally, but let one inadvertent mistake occur, and the paper heats of it, in some cases before the ink on the printed page is dry.It was ever thus.A newspaper must ever be ready to use freely the medium of pub- icity for good and weal of its readers and community, likewise must it have always handy the cloak of charity\u2014the supreme virtue.A newspaper, in the eyes of many, was intended to give service only\u2014free or otherwise\u2014not to make mistakes that he who runs may read.To pursue this course most newspapers strive hard, but oftimes the element of human weskness enters in and mistakes are made.Despite this fact, however, the newspaper continues to be a powerful instrument for good and we be- Bevé, without bôdsitäà, thet mal people in the district make this

district of Ypsilanti, Mich., study and play and recite in the same room where their grandparents were taught seventy-two years ago.Willow Run séhool was restored because Henry Ford, the automobile magnate, noticed it.The broken windows, the sagging door and the decaying white pine floor first caught his attention.Then he learned Frank Cody, superintendent of Detroit schools, taught his first class there forty years ago.Ford bought the school and ground.The state was searched for white pine to replace the old floor.Ancient desks were found, but only five of them.Ford workmen made twenty- five replicas of the five authentic pieces of a past generation.An old.brass hand bell, such as called the children from recess decades ago, was located.Even the paint on the wainscoating is the same shade as when Cody taught the school.Real Monkey Business With nearly every crime but murder laid to her charge, a little brown-faced monkey, named Jenny, for ten days successfully evaded capture on board the White Star liner Majestic, Her crimes, it is alleged, include stowing away, stealing fruit, and attacking an officer with intent to do him bodily hatm.The monkey, which came from nobody knows where, climbed to the highest point on the bridge, and made her way into the officers\u2019 quarters.She was caught in the act of stealing grapes from the captain's cabin.Hastily closing all doors and windows, an officer, protected in fencing mask and gauntlets, entered the cabin\"and pinioned the monkey after a hard struggle.Her grimaces when caged were quite insulting.Pair Steal Auto With Baby \u201cHey, Bill, lookit what's in the back seat!\u201d Imagine the embarrassment of two midnight auto thieves when they discovered a three-months-old baby in the car\u2014a lusty-lunged boy baby at that.Mr.and Mrs.Joe Chevais of Santa Clara, parents of the child, left him asleep on the rear seat of their machine at San Jose, Calif.At 1 o'clock in the morning police rcceived a hysterical report from the parents that child and auto had heen stolen.The city was searched frantically.In the midst of what appeared a futile search, Mrs.M.T.Murray, phoned that the baby had been hastily deposited on her front porch by two men.Woman Kills Self in Trunk Clasping a pillow saturated with ether, Mrs.Freda Harvey, 40, climbed into a trunk in her apartment at Seattle, Wash.and calmly awaited death.Her husband, George, janitor at that address, smelled the drug while passing his door and investigated.He opened the trunk and found his wife's lifeless body inside, her face*buried in the pillow.She: left a note asking forgiveness and declaring she had reached the limit of her endurance.On the dresser she also left a deed to a piece of Seattle property and $35.According to her husband, she had been ill for several months.Boy, Nine, Saves Mother Joseph Escott Jr., 9, of Kansas City.is being mentioned for a bravery medal because he saved his mother when the brick wall of a burning building crushed their home.The mother, Mrs.Jennie Escott, 38, was caught between the steel reinforcement rods of the wall.Joseph sent his 6-year-old brother Johnnie for help and remained in the wrecked and burning house, lifting the rods from his mother\u2019s body so that she could crawl out.Immediately after Joseph had {reed his mother, the house collapsed.Dog Committed Thefts Peculiar behavior of a little dog who was found scratching the floor under a bed in the home of its owners in Warsaw, Poland, led to the discovery of a number of valuables which had been missing from the owners\u2019 home and from friends they happened to visit.The people had been accused of theft, but had been able to prove their innocence.It was not until his treasure store was discovered that it was realized that the dog had committed all the thefts himself and had hidden his \u201cbooty\u201d in a crack in the floor under the bed.Travelling Parcel Post The strangest parcel that has ever travelled by air was delivered in London recently.The parcel was a Belgian journalist, G.Lantecheere, who had posted himself at the General Post Office in Brussels to-an address in London.Duly labelled and postmarked, he travelled in the parcels compartment of the aeroplane.For a passenger between Brussels and London the fare is $20.00, but the human packet came for $12.00.He had to make his return journey as an ordinary passenger.The G.P.O, does not accept livestock, whether human or not, as parcels for delivery outside the country.Stolen Kisses Worth $80,000?Mary G.Ridgeway, 24, told the District Supreme Court, at Washington, she thinks William W.Burdette, retired merchant living at the Ambassador Hotel, should be required to pay $80,000 for some stolen kisses.Through Attorney George D.Homing Jr.the young wife stated Mr.Burdette called at her home four times.May 30, last, he put his arms around her and tried to kiss her, she said.June 12 he succeeded in kissing her and September 8 he attempted to do so, while on September 27 he embraced and kissed her, she charged.Hoover's Brother-in-Law Charged with possession of a gunny sack containing 19 pints of liquor,

of the most unusual damage actions ever filed in King County, Washington.The sult was brought by Ray W.Young, of Seattle, in behalf of his daughter, Marie, 10, who, it is claimed, suffered permanent disfigurement to her right hand when she was bitten by a chimpanzee in front of the Columbia police station.Defendants are Joseph Stien, trainer, and William Estep, lecturer and owner of the upe.According to the complaint, the girl and her father were passing the police station when the ape, not under leash, jumped at the girl suddenly and fastened his jaws in her hand.Attorneys Burt C.Ross and T.H.Patterson, who filed the suit, declare that the ape\u2019s teeth were so set in the girl's hand that passersby had to pry them loose.Odd Insurance Claims A great many odd accidents have been recorded.A report of a large indemnity insurance company recently listed some of these \u201cfreak\u201d cases: \u201cInsured\u2019s daughter poked a sardine can in right ear.\u201d \u201cInsured was on vacation.Was sitting on a piazza with a young lady on his lap.In getting up, legs gave way under him (they being numb).Sprained left ankle.\u201d \u201cAt work, glass eye exploded.Rendered unconscious \u2014lacerations of eye socket.\u201d \u201cPlaying ball with pipe in my mouth.Missed ball and ball hit pipe, driving it back into my mouth.\u201d \u201cSlipped on rubber heels, fell on left thigh, breaking a glass flask which severed two arteries in hip.\u201d \u201cInsured was pacing floor with baby when moth flew into his right ear.Moth went further into ear when insured and his wife tried to extract it.\u201d \u201cInsured had tacks in mouth.Swallowed one when someone slapped him on back.\u201d Boy Killed Playmate Without remorse or other emotion a 9-year-old boy admitted that he had put his 6-year-old playmate to death.After maintaining his innocence for three days, Bobby Labourd, a colored boy, of Bakersfield, Calif., calmly \u201cconfessed,\u201d it is said, that he caused the death by drowning of George Leistikow, a white schoolmate.A resident of San Francisco until recently, the youngster was a \u201cproblem\u201d child frequently -brought to attention of juvenile authorities.His confession came shortly after a coroner's jury had returned a verdict of \u201caccidental death\u201d in the case of young Leistikow, whose body was found in an irrigation ditch.Five Tons of Dust Vacuum cleaning of Rouen Cathedral has jist been completed and five tons of medieval dust were removed.Every nook and cranny was carefully penetrated and cleaned, and special scaffolding and rolling platforms had to be constructed to reach otherwise inaccessible parts.In the cleaning process four valuable paintings of Biblical subjects, lost for centuries, were discdyered in the tower.| .\u2026.Fright From a Snake Killing a snake with a hayfork, a farm girl on the road near Branne, France.picked it up on her fork to toss it into the field.Just as she hurled the reptile across the road a motor car passed.The snake fell into the car.Its four passengers yelled for help.The driver became hysterical, threw up his hands in despair.and the car, now driverless, went off the road and hurtled against a stone wall.Fortunately nobody was hurt, even though the car was wrecked, but the snake was dead.Moves Barn 30 Miles Neighbors of G.A.Hilley, farmer at Raven Creck, Berwick, Pa.assisted him in moving a barn 30 miles to a new location.Hilley's own barn was destroyed by fire.He purchased a barn on the Creasy farm at Miffinville, 30 miles away.Eighteen of his neighbors joined him in dismantling the Creasy barn, transporting it to the Hilley farm and re- erecting it.Seven trucks were used in transporting the structure.Leopold and Loeb Leopold and Loeb are not so much in the public eye now.They are still in jail at Statevifle, Il, where they were sent for life in 1924 for killing a little boy.Leopold has been made a yard foreman in charge of 100 prisoners at the new state penitentiary.The post is regarded by the convicts as a \u201cplum\u201d and that Leopold will have an opportunity to see Loeb, also under life sentence, at intervals.Loeb is in charge of the prison's greenhouse and nursery, and often visits the yard.Football at Sing Sing Football has come to Sing Sing, but the teams won't make any road trips.Warden Lawes thinks the game will do the prisoners good\u2014\u201cteach them to play according to rules,\u201d he explained.Two dozen football outfits have been donated.The warden said that the teams would be coached by several high school and college men among the prisoners.One advantage Warden Lawes sees in prison football over the college kind is that the alumni is hardly lkely to squawk about the way the team is handled.Leaves Oral Will An Englishman has announced his intention of making his will on a gramophone record.There seem to be drawbacks to this method of making a will, Almost every language contains groups of words which, even when spoken by the most careful speaker, sound almost identical with other groups.For instance, there is told a quaint story in which a humble family was thrown into a flutter by the announcement received by teleplione, that the head of the household was bringing \u201cthe Countess of Ayr\u201d home to dinner.At the end of the story it emerged that what he had sald was \u201cthe

playgrounds.Originally set aside by the Dominion Government as areas In which the unspoiled beauties of nature might for all time be available to \u201cthe people,\u201d the national parks soon won more than local recognition, and \u201cthe people\u201d for whom they were reserved now include a great number of visitors, mainly from the United States.The largest national parks are in the Rocky Mountain area in Alberta, where Rocky Mountain National Park comprises 2,585 square miles, Jasper National park 4200 square miles and Waterloo Lakes National Park 220 square miles.There are good roads and fine hotels in these parks for the accommodation of the tourist, but much of the area is maintained in all the beauty and grandeur of its natural conditions.ce Wednesday, November 18th, 1931 de

Resume of the Past 100 Years of St.Paul's Church, A century ago the Ormstown Presbyterian settlers joined those of Georgetown in presenting a memorial to the Glasgow Colonial Society in which regest was made that a minister be sent out to take charge of the work here.The society acceded to this request and sent out Rev.Archibald Colquhoun, but shortly Ormstown became a separate charge with a minister of her own.Thus a move to erect a church 20 x 26 at the north-west end of the present building was made in 1831, but owing to lack of funds was not rendered fit for use until 1832, This, however, was not floored until 1835; previous to that time the sleepers were covered with boards to serve as seats for the congregation.Mr.Colquhoun having received a call to Ontario, decided to accept and left Ormstown in the spring of 1835.In July of the same year, Rev.James Anderson was inducted.At that time the annual subscription was $200.from his entire flock; he never received more than $200.in a year; he received an equal amount from the Clergy Reserves and the seignior.During Mr.Anderson's pastorate the church previously built was completed in 1839.Most of the work was done by farmers holding bees while the fin- ishings were paid for by contributions, mainly of wheat.Mr.Anderson continued his ministry to the time of his death, April 6th, 1861.He was succeeded by Rev.James Seiveright, M.A., who was inducted in 1862 and ministered for three years.On April 15, 1865, Rev.William Clark.B.A.was inducted but resigned in 1873.On the 4th day of March 1874, the Presbytery of Montreal met at Ormstown.was constituted and dealt with the call extended Rev.David W.Morrison, B.A., which call was sustained by the Presbytery and Mr.Morison was inducted on a salary of $1,000.per annum, and continued his ministry for a period of 40 years, when he was compelled to relinquish his work in the fall of 1913, owing to ill health.McDougall Hall Built It was during Mr.Morison's pastorate that McDougall Hall was presented to the congregation of St.Paul's by Mr.Alexander McDougall in 1898, in memory of his brother Daniel, in appreciation of which the congregation placed on record at their annual meeting the following January.In 1906, too, Mrs.Alexander McDougall presented a clock which hourly reminds the people of Ormstown the flight of time.The Ladies\u2019 Aid provided the bell to be used in combination with the clock and to announce the hours of service.Among other gifts from Mr.McDougall was the communion service now in use, a thousand dollars, the interest of which went to Dr.Morison while he lived and the congregation.continued to give to his widow until her death in 1930.Mr.McDougall gave $12,000 to missions in 1911.Dr.Morison was succeeded in the pastorate by the Rev.D.N.Coburn, B.A, who was inducted March 24th, 1914, and remained in charge until 1925 when church union was consummated and the local union between St.John\u2019s and St.Paul's had been effected.Then came the induction of the newly called minister, Rev.T.A.Wilson, Ph.D.into the pastorate.Mr.* Wilson resigned this charge in 1928.and in September of the same year, a

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 gratulations on the anniversary were read from Professor Corhett of McGill University, Dr.Jas.Patterson, Revs.Jas.Pletts, C.A.Haughton, A.C.Reeves, W.R.Cruikshank, E.M.8.Coates J.H.McConnell and Dr.A.S.Ross.Rev.Dr.Munroe wrote regarding of carload of produce for the needy, designating its destination as Family Welfare Bureau in Montreal The pastor, Rev.À.F.Pollock spoke briefly of the years of conflict up until Nov.11, 1918, and expressed the hope that in time to come there would be no more war.He then introduced the speaker of the evening Rev.David A.MacLennan of Emmanuel United Church of Montreal who said he felt a great honor had been conferred on him by being asked to take part in this event and brought greeting and felicitations from the comrades of Emmanuel.The Christian church stood for unity and peace and on this day we should pause and remember.Let us never forget those who paid the price and gave their immortality.They have arrived at the chancel of peace, behind them the tomb, before them the altar.War was wholesale murder, but we do not remember them as murderers in our tribute of love and memory.There is another war that we wage as sons of God.This is our war.In war, on one side is blind hatred to the enemy, on the other, loyalty to our country.Tak- ig Samuel! 2:25, \u201cThen Abner called Job and said, \u2018Shall the sword devour for ever?How long shall it be then ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?\u2019 Men were not afraid to go forth to fight.Abner's advice was to disarm and pursue peace.We have identified ourselves as followers of the crucified Prince of Peace and therefore should disarm.If we do not end war.it will end us.Disarmament does not make world peace, but is a big step towards Jesus\u2019 command, War is one nation\u2019s greed over another, regardless of what means are taken to gain possession.That will be the condition until the world takes Jesus seriously.We cannot hope to live as one family if there is a constant grasping for the things of Mammon.Lloyd George said during war-time the whole world went mad together.At the coming Peace Conference all nations will meet together for the first time.The speaker then spoke of the tragedy of the past war with its cost of millions of men and money, and said that as he stood in the silence of remembrance on this day he seemed to hear the tread of phantom legions; their spirits were near us and their eyes were searching us to see if we were \u201ckeeping faith\u201d with those who sleep in Flanders Fields.We had better disarm or our children will be witnesses of the collapse of civilization.We suffer today through the economic depression.What institutions for the advancement and good of the world could have been built with the money spent in the Great War, instead, it was used for destructive purposes.Nations talk of world peace and in the same breath speak of the next war.Last year $5,000,000,000 was spent on armaments for the next war, when nations stood in the bread line and men are dying for food.Science has made great strides in discovering destructives [for war.So terrible are the destructive forces that Londor could be destroyed in three hours: gasses so terrible that the human body can be almost immediately destroyed; cannon that can hurl balls for many miles; and many other powerful guns.What will be the cost of the next war?Shall the sword devour forever But we must secure, we must depend on arms in the word of the nations.Preparing for war {0 get peace is a mistaken idea; in preparing for war we get war.Then we should close our churches and not talk of God.If we disarm, we commit ourselves to peace.We can have war or Christianity.We cannot have both, We tear (God up in wor; each side praying for success.God is not one to bless wholesale slaughter.Some scientists claim war as a great discovery to get rid of the unfit.but the unfit are not the only ones.Instead it causes losses to all branches of life arid: activities that can never be made up.War gets the weeds and flowers too.God is not the God of battles.God is the Father of Jesus Christ.We must live life by disarming our own individual lives ef evil urges.A meek attitude is not enough The moral equipment against war ir Christianity, and it promises no easy road, but a constant battle.Let us join the crusade against them in the name of Christ; let us enthrone the principles of Christ instead of hatred bitterness, and strife.Christ lives that is religion.Let us love one another and help the world to live.The speaker was wounded in the war, and lay in mud, and not far from him lay a very badly wounded Hun, who spoke good English.They spoke to each other and in their distress and suffering each did what he could for the other.The Hun said, \u201cI would have killed you for the sake of Fatherland, you would have shot me for your Motherland and now you help me here in my condition for the Brotherland.\u201d Let us be builders of the Brotherland, let it reach over all the world and a better day will dawn for all.The Saviour bares His heart.pleading with us to rout the armies of evil out of the land.May it be ever so.At the close of this address the pastor rose to his feet and being so greatly impressed with the message stood in silence for some moments which was a fitting tribute for the occasion and then said he should never forget this hour and that we could not help being better after hearing such a message as had been brought us by the speaker.A very hearty vote of thanks was The concentrated goodness of prime beef is in extended to Rav.Mr.MacLennan.The Valleyfield Tinited choir furnished the music, opening the service by singing, \u2018Lord of the Lands, Beneath Thy Bending Skies,\u201d which was most appropriate for Remembrance Day.À solo, by Mrs.Green and an anthem by the choir were greatly enjoyed.Travelogue of British Isles The last week-day service was held on Thursday evening, when in spite of showery weather the church was once more filled.Rev.D.Morison, of Howick United Church took the devotional period.This being Brotherhood night he chose for his reading Paul's epistle to Philemon and stressed the point where Paul sent Philemon's servant back to his master and asked him to take him back, not as a servant but as 8 beloved brother.He brought greetings and congratulations from his people to St.Paul's congregation in their anniversary of 100 years of service and expressed his pleasure and profit from the meeting in these services of celebration.Rev.A.F.Pollock read a letter from Rev.Wm.McDougall, St.Paul's missionary to China, now in Barrie who has been ill and was unable to eccept the invitation to be present al the services.The pastor voiced his gratitude for the beneficial services of the week that were sure to spread through a large community because of the splendid attendance at each meeting, Rev.T.W.Jones of Calvary United Church then brought messages of congratulations from his congregation.At this time in the celebration services we would look far afield.The forefathers had mostly come from different parts across the sea and we would travel over the British Isles and see some of the beauty of landscape and architecture that ara to be found in the Motherland and help to cement the bond between the old land and the new.The views were very interesting and beautiful.Many historic ruins.also buildings of fame and Importance as well as beauty spots of nature's making were shown; .he clear and instructive description of each view made a splendid ending for the week's activities, taking us back to the land and scenes of our forefathers and teaching us lessons from the past and present in the lands ve- yond the sea and making us feel stronger the ties of brotherhood.The Howick choir provided the music which was appreciated and thus another evening of uplifting influence: drew to a close.Sunday Services In spite of rather unfavorable weather conditions a large congregation was present Sunday morning to hear Rev.W.R.Alp, B.A.of Chal- mers United Church, Ottawa, whe spoke on the \u201cRelationship of the Church to the Sunday School\u201d and chose for his text Psalm 45:16, \u201cInstead of thy father shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.\u201d \u201cThe Bible sees things as they are, guides us in the things, and reminds us of the days coming when our children will have to carry out the plans and work we have to leave unfinished.We, who are in control now must give place to the boys and girls of to-day.People go on living and act as though they would live forever.never seeming to realize a day will come when they must Iny off; they are shocked when an {liness overtakes them.Then and only then, do they awaken to the realization that there is an end coming.If it is true, and it is true, that the care free children of the present must take our places; then child life is of supreme importancs.It is our wealthiest possession, our brightest Lope, far greater than our wealth of forests, mines, lands or any other things.The youth of our land is the most priceless possession and there- {fore a heavy responsibility rests upon us.It is our duty to train and fit them for their duty in the years to come It is under our influence their lives are to be moulded and shaped for the future.What kind of men and women they grow to be depends on how we train and mould them now.Man should pause and ask himself this question.Am I setting a good example?Am I walking in a way I would wish them to walk?Children are easily influenced and great imitators.They are continually reproducing what they see in others.The saying.\u201cHe is is a chip off the old block\u201d is a very true one because it is a very evident fact that children are influenced by the example of their parents.They are constantly in touch with each other and therefore the influence is great, and should be of the right kind.None of us can help in- fluencing someone.Life is like the THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER, whispering gallery in an edifice in the old land where if one speaks in a whisper at one end the sound emerges at the other in a very loud tone, and sc is our unconscious influence as it goes forth into life.Let us realize this fact.In a large factory a long bar of steel weighing 500 pounds is suspended by a wire so that it may swing.while near to it is a cork hung by a cord, and this cork by constant tapping against the iron bar sets it in motion so that it swings.This is an example of the weight of our influence upon the lives of others.By just being what we are.what we are interested in, what we are careless about how we act, and live, are all noted by the children and has an influence upon their actions.so we must realize this fact and be the means of showing them the right way.There are cases of boys and girls being brought up in bad homes under evil influences who have been saved and live good lives, and help their fellowmen by works and example.The Saviour said, \u201cYou cannot gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles,\u201d so unless the influence ir of the best kind, the boys and girls cannot develop into tht best men and women.Another question, What ir my example?As you consider your life and its character would you like to see your life reproduced?Is your life such that mounts higher as the days pass by?Then Goud forbid if it is not.Am I giving forth a character and training to fit them to play a good part in time to come?In sowing wheat, the best crops are gathered from well prepared soil, sc in the lives of boys and girls they must be prepared and trained.A Christian character does not drift into the individual, they must be trained.Children left untrained develop uncouth livfs, lacking honesty, truth and all good.If they are left untrained it is not good for themselves or the community where they live and their bad influence will reach out and mar other lives.The children here today, under our influence, if of the best kind, will take our places in days to come, will live honorable lives and help the world to better things.We want our children to be courageous in reverses.to be strong and upright men and women of character and to more than measure up to our ideals when they step into their shoes.We can shape their lives to give high ideals but it is no easy task.It can be done.not by our preaching to them alone.but by our daily practice of what we preach.Ii is better to win respect than fame.to have a noble character than great wealth.Am I doing anything to give the boys and girls around me the blessing of the Christian faith?That is their best gift.Then they can play their part manfully.Some parents work to give their children wealth as their legacy and neglect their religious training which is the only force that inspires men and women to good qualities and gives them the true values of life.What is the good of education that is not based on the principles of righteousness?Life based on the Chris- tion faith is bound to be upright and of supreme importance, and will bring the principles and character of Jesus Christ to
