McMILLAN NAMED PRESIDENT ANNUAL MEETING \"NATIONAL DAIRY COUNCIL AND PROMINENT HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26th, 1936 SHOW JUDGE ELECTED AT WINNIPEG CONVENTION At the annual meeting of the Nat- | ional Dairy Council held in Winnipeg last week, Gilbert A.McMillan, of Huntingdon, was elected President of the Council.W.L.Carr, also of Huntingdon, is a Director on the Council.Fraser, of Ottawa, who succeeded the late W.P.Stephen, of Huntingdon.The presidency of the National Dairy Council is a very important position, and it is a distinct honour to our community and to the man himself that is accorded the office.Mr.McMillan has been associated with so many farmers, cattle, and dairying societies,\u201d that he is more | than qualified for the position.He was President of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association three times, and has been almost continually a member of the Executive.He has also taken an active part in the \u2018affairs of the American Ayrshire Association, both in executive and hon- grary positions.Mr.McMillan has Judged at all the great Dairy Shows on the Continent and has merited the reputation of an authority on the dairy and allied industries.Resolutions included one endorsing the principle of bonusing the cheese industry through bonuses to milk producers who shipped their milk to cheese factories in order that the surplus of butter might be reduced and the export of cheese increased; another asking the Dominion - government to give attention to the protection and preservation of the home market for powdered milk products; while a third authorized the secretary to prepare, along with a committee of the council, a co-ordin- ated policy for co-operative advertising of milk and milk products which would be national in its scope.Whether any export policy in regard to butter should be voluntary or compulsory comprised the main feature of debate Wednesday morning.Opposing opinions were evident, but decisive action was deemed impossible at the moment, owing to the fact that the Natural Products Marketing act, under which a compulsory scheme might be formed, is still in the hands of the supreme court.Action, probably along the lines of a voluntary scheme, in view of the difficulty, was indicated for the 1936 seasen, with a more definitely con- trolléd scheme in prospect later.Tuesday's sessions of the annual meeting of the council, at the Royal Alexandra hotel, were given over to separate meetings of the two boards, the national .milk producers\u2019 board and the national dairy operatives\u2019 board, in the morning, and a joint discussion, in the afternoon, of problems facing the industry.Foremost of these problems on the agenda was the question of whether the dairy industry needed a Dominion Marketing act, a question which was closely tied to the disposition of surplus butter and what could be done to prevent the decline in cheese production.Local School Team Defeats Argyle Squad Named Champions Montreal Intermediate League Were Beaten 6-4 Clean And Fast Game Unleashing a scoring punch that produced four goals in the first half of the third period, the Academy senior hockey team chalked up a 6-4 win over Argyle, champions of the Montreal Intermediate High School Hockey League at the Huntingdon rink, Friday night.The victory was a creditable one for the local team as Argyle has been crowned champion f its league even though it has not \u2018inished playing all its games.It is so far ahead of the other teams, however, that it has already clinched the title.Going into the last session trailing by one goal, the Academy squad @ treated their supporters to an impressive display of scoring power as they evened the game and then took a three goal lead.Their margin was cut to two at the 12 minute mark but the close defensive system which they adopted from then on baffled the Argyle squad -and thwarted all their offensive efforts.Play was very even during the first two periods but the locals held a distinct advantake in the first helf of the last session when they tallied their quartette of goals without a reply from the opposition.Argyle came to life in the latter part of the period however, and Bennet\u2019s goal, his second of the evening, was the incentive for a massed attack on the Academy nets.Playing every man up the ice the Montreal team gave Hay- ter plenty to worry about, but the Academy net-minder weathered th.storm nicely, and succeeded in keeping his net free of pucks.Argyle opened the scoring when Benson took Wilson's pass after six minutes of play in the first period and beat Hayter with a hard drive from close in.The Academy puck chasers were held at bay during the &irst period but Helm put them on (Continued on page 5) The secretary is Allan C.| Following a full discussion, no decision was arrived at other than the appointment of a resolutions committee which was charged with bringing to the Wednesday morning meeting i resolutions embodying the expression of the previous day's discussion.The questions of whether the export of butter should be aided by the state or should a portion of the receipts be pooled for export, or should the butter industry need tariff protection, were debated along with those ask- (ing whether the export of cheese should be aided by the state and what could be done to prevent the decline in cheese production.All branches of the industry in Canada were represented in the discussion, with delegates about 45 in all.present from Alberta to Nova Scotia.All avenues of outlet were explored.including the suggestion of (Continued on page 4) National Executive W.L.CARR Of Huntingdon, Director Holstein- Friesian\u2019 Association of Canada, and Past President, last week elected

his return from Hin- chinbrooke where he had spent the holiday with his parents.The Board of Inquiry heard his case the following day at Malone and barred the young man from reentry, giving various reasons for the action.His family is held in high esteem along the border and many residents protested against the action of the Immigration Department, with the result that the order was rescinded.Former district attorney H.W.Main, of Malone, and young Mc- Cormick\u2019s brother who is an attorney at Saranac Lake, represented him, and appealed to the Department at Washington.9 Warmest Weather Of This Winter Is Now Being Enjoyed After a month of almost solid sub-zero weather the temperature has climbed to a comfortable figure, and yesterday hanged about the 50 mark.Saturday and Sunday were ideal days.Monday afternoon the weather became warmer, and by night snow was melting off the roofs.A sleet storm which started before noon soon changed into rain, Monday night about eight o'clock a rain fell which contained heavy particles of dust.Cars which had been parked outside looked yesterday morning as if they had been driven through pools of muddy water.and the wash- ings on the clothes lines, well, little imagination is necessary.One person stated that the Italians must have been kicking up the dust in Ethiopia, but there isn't any there just now, so where did the muddy rain come from?Canners Firm Allowed To Consider Sale Injunction Dissolved in Affair Of Associated Quality Canners Firm Judgment of Justice W.T.Henderson was given Monday dissolving an injunction restraining Associated Quality Canners, Ltd., Toronto, from holding a meeting of its shareholders te consider a by-law to authorize sale of the company's assets or any part thereof to Empire Foods Corporation, Toronto.The interim injunction was granted by Judge Edward J.Daly, of Ottawa, upon a motion on behalf of William A.Fraser, Trenton.In his reasons for judgment Mr.Justice Henderson said the Empire Foods Corporation, Ltd.offers to purchase the assets of Associated Quality Canners, Ltd., for $400,000.The latter company, on its part, is to procure discharge of a mortgage securing an issue of $2,000,000 bonds of which $1.000,000 are outstanding; to procure a discharge or assignment to the purchaser of a mortgage for $20,000 registered against the property of Associated Quality Canners (Quebec) Ltd.and a discharge of any liability of the Quebec company to the Royal Bank or to Associated Quality Canners, Ltd.Mr.Justice Henderson notes that Empire Foods Corporation reserved a right to withdraw its offer unless it were accepted by February 22.1936.His Lordship says that seven of the 14 plants which Associated Canners acquired are not in operation and Lave been largely dismantled.He finds upon a review of the company\u2019s finances the capital investment of the company a total loss.Mr.Justice Henderson dissolves the interim injunction but although no relief other than the injunction was claimed, does not dismiss the action.Only last year Associated Canners opened a plant at Sainte Martine, which operated full force all summer, and gave employment to a large number of persons, and bought all local produce.The Ste.Martine plant has been judged a successful unit.Two Wedding Anniversaries Are Celebrated At Ormstown The fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr.and Mrs.Marvin H.Dudley of Ormstown was celebrated on Monday.They were married at the homestead at Tatehurst, Feb.24, 1886, by Rev.J.Ryan.Following their marriage, they took up residence in Ormstown where they have lived ever since.At noon they were entertained to dinner together with Mrs.William Sadler, the groom's sister, at the home of Mrs.George T.Sadler.During the afternoon and evening a reception was held in their own home, tendered them by four of their nieces, Mrs.Jas.Moffatt, Mrs.Grant Mc- Laren, Mrs.T.S.Osmond and Mrs.G.P.Osmond.Refreshments were served and Mrs.Wm.Sadler and Mrs.George T.Sadler poured tea.Over eighty friends and relatives called to extend their congratulations and later in the evening Rev A.F.Pollock gave some congratulatory remarks after which he requested Miss Elaine Osmond to present the bride and groom with a purse of money.Mr.H.B.Patton also made some remarks suitable to the occasion.On Friday the 58th anniversary of the marriage of Mr.John Milne and Mrs.Milne was fttingly observed at an afternoon reception arranged at the home of their daughter, Mrs.Dougald McCaig.The house was beautifully decorated and delicious refreshments were served.Mrs.John Hastie poured tea and the hostess was assisted by Mrs.M.E.Ross, Mrs.Fred Boyd, Mrs.Mervin Forrester, Misses Gladys Milne and Isabel Hayes.Gifts, cards of greeting and spoken congratulations were evidence of the love and goodwill of many friends and of the esteem in which Mr.and Mrs.Milne are very generally held by all who are fortunate enough to have made their acquaintance.Mr.and Mrs.Milne are of that sturdy Scotch ancestry that has as background, principle, honor and stability.There were many friends consequently who took advantage of the opportunity to extend congratulations and express their appreciation of the fine citizenship of this exemplary couple, with the hope that they might be spared to enjoy in the best of health, many similar anniversaries.The ladies of the Rebekah Lodge entertained at a card party in the I.O.OF.Hall on Monday evening, when cards were played at twenty- seven tables.The high scorer at each table was awarded a prize, and dainty refreshments were served.The Guild and W.A.of St.James Church, Ormstown, held a very delightful afternoon tea, Tuesday of last week at the home of Mrs.R.E.Walsh, The tea table was tastefully decorated with Valentine colors.The proceeds amounted to over $10, , Rinks Entered New Head of National Dairy Council GILBERT A.McMILLAN Outstanding Canadian farmer, of Huntingdon, named at

participated in the various competitions of granites and irons, making the 'spiel one of the most successful ever held in the Ancient Capital.Rinks from Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and United States competed.McGerrigle, Soucy and Lunan gave a good account of themselves.Both Ormstown rinks reached the quarter finals leading up to either the Centenary or Chateau Cups.Lunan reached the ®emi-finals of the Que; bec City Cup play.J.M.Darby of Ormstown also participated, playing \u2018under St.George's Montreal colours.Lunan and McGerrigle skipped through the first round play of the Holt Renfrew Cup play, both winning two games.Soucy won one and lost one.McGerrigle was third in total point, scoring with 31 in these two games and advanced to the quarter finals before he was eliminated after a close game by Dr.J.C.Elliott of Quebec Victoria 16-11.Soucy, winning only one game in the first playoffs did not qualify for the Holt Renfrew but continued playing for the Rock City Cup and was defeated 14-3 by a Bathurst, N.B.rink skipped by A.Connolly.Lunan was also eliminated from the second stage of play for Holt Renfrew Cup but his showing in the first round play entitled him to a chance at the Quebec City Cup.Here he reached the semi-finals before he was defeated by C.C.Patterson of Brookline, Mass.who went on Lo win the trophy.McGerrigle and Soucy both qualified for the quarter finals of the Centenary or Chateau Cups by winning both their games in the preliminaries while Lunan won one and lost one and was thereby eliminated.The two Ormstown skips were then defeated in the quarter final playoffs.Soucy was eliminated by J.M.Darby 11-9 in the Chateau Cup play and McGerrigle met a similar fate when he went down after a hard end to end battle against Col.A.DeBell's Victoria.Quebec club rink 13-12 in the Centenary Cup play.J.M.Darby qualified in the semifinals of the Rock City Cup but was defeated by S.G.Newton 16-3.He also reached the finals of the Chateau Cup play before he was downed 15-8 by A.Blanchet, Jacques Cartier.Besides the number of trophies that were up for competition the right to represent the Province of Quebec at the

(Liberal) sought to introduce the expressed opposition of the Secretary of State, W.A.Tucker.Liberal of Rosthern faced right up to the Minister of Finance on the monetary question, and was warmly applauded not only by the \u2018south east corner\u2019 where the Social Credit and C.CF.members sit.but from radical fringes of the Liberal benches as well.All in all, it looks like a fighting session, vith the impatient and radical members of the Liberal party jabbing the ministry from within, while the official opposition jabs it from without.Liberals profess to believe in free speech, and in general the ebullition this week is regarded as a healthy sign.A fighting parliament wouldn't be a bad idea in these days when so r uch is wrong and cries out to be set right.Mr.Mackenzie King, being a democratic leader, is prepared to move forward just as fast as the rank and file demands.He sees no value in being miles ahead of the party, doesn't see the use of reforms if the country and the party are not solidly behind them.The present Liberal party has a lot more fire and fight than the representation in the 1926- 1930 parliament appeared to have.The government policy on public works as a cure for unemployment was defined with much clarity and cloquence early in the week by Hon.Norman Rogers, Minister of Labor, in a speech which won general com- riendation, although scored by one member of the C.C.F.party.Mr.Rogers disposed of the idea that this was a government of supermen, all wise end all-powerful.He disavowed any nation that without help this or any other government could cure unemployment.The government realised he said, its profound responsibility in the matter; and thc expectations of Lhe people.It would not shirk its responsibility.But it believed in enlisting the support of all possible agencies in the provision of work.The government was satisfied that an orgy of government spending did not offer a way out of the depression.On the contrary, if persisted in, it would bring chaos.\u201cIt is taking a short view of the duty of the government to the people Cure Unemployment Ills Minister of Labor Declares By Wilfrid Eggleston of {of Canada

fer our present economic ills.I believe that ultimately it would create far greater cconomic distress than that which now exists,\u201d the Minister said.Students who are curious as to the probable course of this government in the next year or two will probably find the kernel of the matter in a statement of the British government made in October 1934, and quoted with approval by the Minister of Labor: \u201cThe expansion of normal activity will most surely and rapidly be brought about by the creation of confidence by steady policy\u2014in particular, financial confidence by a balanced budget, the lowering of retes of interest with resultant cheap and plentiful capital and, in so far as government action is possible by the creation of facilities for and the removal of hindrances to trade.\u201d That theory is to be tested by the Liberal government, it will be assailed as timid, as undramatic, as unimaginative.But the indications are that it will be adhered to as closely as the demands of democratic government, the cries for freer spending and elaborate programs of works will permit.The Ministry will probably set their faces hard against any extravagant spending programs of any sort.The test will come in a year or two, when the employment rolls are counted.The government knows that its fate in the country will not depend on the debates it wins or loses in the House of Commons now; but on the employment and general prosperity of the country when fits policies have had time to take effect.Judging by the remarks made by \u2018chief counsel at the beginning of the textile inquiry, it is going to be a jhumdinger.The government consid- jers that the whole textile industry is yon trial; and must now justify the protection it enjoys in terms of workers wages and consumer costs.The government announced that an adjustment to wheat farmers who received less than 60 cents a bushel for their 1930 pool deliveries would be made; It is unofficially estimated this will cost $6,000,000.(Continued on page 3) DeRepentigny Death Due Natural Causes ONSIDERABLE excitement was aroused about St.Anicet and Ste-Barbe a month ago when the Attorney-General's Department, at Quebec ordered a body exhumed from the St.Anicet cemetery.It will be remembered that Wilfrid DeRepentigny, 37, dropped dead when coming out of the Dagenals Poll at St.Anicet.the day of the Quebec Provincial Elections, on November 25th, DeRepentigny had been ill some time previous and had been treated in the Valleyfield Hospital.Local doctors did not commit themselves as to what they thought was the cause of his {ll- ness but medical examiners ut the Hospital declared that it was heart trouble.Reports continued rife that there was possibility of death not having been due to natural causes.and some person or persons communicated with the At- torney-General's Department carly in January.The body was ordered exhumed and an investign- tion made.The first time that the medico-legal expert, Dr.Rosario Fontaine, came here to investigate was the worst weather of the winter, and he was advised not to attempt making the jour- nev to St.Anicet.He returned a few days later to complete his task.Coroner McEwen received a report the other day that death was due to natural causes, with the notation that the heart had been in a very bad condition.Murder Fear Dispelled In Indian\u2019s

Judgment Given By Board Of Railway Commissioners We are indebted to Mr.M.B.Fisher, MLA.for a copy of the judgment given by the Board of Rallway Commissioners for Canada, in the matter of the application of the Canadian National Railways for an Order granting it leave to abandon the operation of that portion of the Hemmingford Subdivision between St.Remi and Hemmingford, a distance of 14.9 miles.Hemmingford interested parties headed by Mr.Fisher, and their attorney Vincent Dupuls, K.C., M.P.for Laprairie- Napierville, protested against the abandonment of this service and won their case.This line was built in 1852 and started under a charter of the Lake St.Louis and Province Line Railway Company which in 1850 joined with the Montreal and Lachine Railroad Company to become the Montreal and New York Railroad Company.In 1857, this latter company joined with the Champlain Railroad Company, which in 1864 was leased, and in 1872 sold to the Grand Trunk Railroad Company, which in turn was amalgamated with the Canadian National Railways\u2019 Company in 1923.As said in the application, the railway asks to abandon part of that iine from St.Remi to Hemmingford, a distance of 14.9 miles.The railway filed a statement showing the opera- tions of 1930, 1931, 1933 and 1934, In 1930-31 the receipts were $27,742, but there was a deficit of $4,391.In 1933, the operating expenses were $24,150 and the receipts only $12,977, leaving a deficit of $11,173, In 1934, the receipts were $18,982 and the expenses $24,200, leaving a deficit of $5,308.Prior to 1930 there was a twice daily train service between Hem- mingford and Montreal and after that date, daily, up to the last part of 1930 or the beginning of 1931.Mr.Vincent Dupuis, K.C.\u2026 MP.for Laprairie, attorney for the municipalities concerned, insisted that the company ought to file a statement showing the operations prior to 1930, asserting that this line had been operated profitably at that time.The fact that there were two dally trains both ways corroborates this assertion of Mr.Dupuis.We see by the statement filed that the company\u2019s earn?ings were higher in 1934 than in 1933.The necessity of a railway was demonstrated hy several witnesses.The railway company also admitted that there is no highway open to motor vehicles during winter.It follows that if this application were granted, the inhabitants of Hem- mingford and other municipalities would be deprived of all transportation facilities in winter.The representatives of the municipalities concerned insisted that con- (Continued on

success beyond brilliant expectation, and Montreal music reviewers were so charmed with the renditions that one ncwspaper alone gave more than two columns of space to the report of the concert.Prof.J.N.Charbonneau, Mus.Doc., was called last year hy the Bishop ol Valleyfleld to direct the Cathedra: choir, and to supervise church singing in the Diocese.His work naturally started at the principal church in the Diocese, the Cathedral.A former professor at the University of Montreal, and director of the Schola Cantorum of Montreal, as well as founder of the Palestrina Society, Dr.Charbonneau brought to Valley- field a wealth of experience which was fully enjoyed in the abilities displayed by his pupils Thursday.The programme included solos, duets, and choral parts.They were from Dubois, Rossini, Gounod, Massenet, d\u2019Indy, Weber, Franck, and Schumann.Excerpts from such class- ies as \u201cL'Obéron,\u201d and \u201cThe Redemption.\u201d Among the soloists were Joseph Morin, Joseph Ostiguy, Raphael Be- langer, Dr.J.P.À.Pregent, Marie- Jeanne Bélanger, and Angélina Lafontaine.Gabriel Cusson, cellist was also heard in a few delightful numbers.Two pupils of Miss Cecile Char- bonneau were heard in dramatic recitations.At the conclusion of a brilliant concert Mgr.J.-A.Langlois tendered congratulations to the Director and his pupils on the magnificent performance.The annual Montreal reunion banquet of the fermer students of Val- leyfield Seminary was held in the Spanish Room of the Queen\u2019s Hotel cn Sunday, and was presided by Canan Joseph Laframboise, of St.Stanislas.The event was a very successful affair, and apart from the chairman, there were numerous other speakers, among which were Mayor Billette, of Valleyfield, who brought a very en- cruraging message to the former students.Other speakers included former graduates, Judge Sevigny, of Quebec; Judge Achim, of Hull; John A.Sullivan, Deputy-Postmaster-Gener- al; Maxime Raymond, M.P.and Rev.Henri Julien, Superior of Valleyfield Seminary.

increases ne cost of water supply.The greatest inconvenience and expense.however.is to individual ratepayers, who.seemingly through no fault of their own, must stand the monotony of listening to a water tap forever running.and the further trouble and expense entailed in having pipes thawed out.ay In Huntingdon Town the charge for thawing out frozen pipes is $5.For this same service the City of Valleyfield charges $2.and Montreal $1.The variance in the price is explained by the fact that the service is but little in demand in Huntingdon.while Valley- field and Montreal systems are in continual use.It does seem.though.that the $5 fee is somewhat high.A number of towns and small cities supply this service free of charge where the freezing occurs between the town main and the house.Since it is rather hard to determine at just what point the freezing actually occurs.in most cases the burden is shouldered by the town.The Town Council presented a very good financial statement for the past year which showed that receipts from water taxes totalled $6316.45.The statement for revenue and expense shows that ordinary water expense totalled $430893.Under the latter heading comes cost of wages, chemicals.power and fuel at the filter plant.The additional amount comes from the upkeep of water mains and sewers.It would seem, then.that the Town can afford to supply this service.if not free of charge.at least at a much lower figure to the ratepayer than $5.Icy Roadways Require Care form the road-surface into a skating rink the motorist faces one of his gravest hazards.Few towns and small cities as yet are making any wide usage of abrasives to reduce the danger of ice-coated surfaces and only special care and attention on the part of the motorist will prevent dented fenders.smashed wheels and serious accidents when driving on unsanded icy surfaces.We sleet storms and sudden freeze-ups trans- If you are a winter motorist a close observance of some of the fundamental rules for safe-driving under these conditions will go a long way to keep you out of hospital.The first warning to motorists is alwavs the same.\u2014 Drive slowiv.\u201d Nothing that follows will be of any use if this first rule is disregarded.Keep it in mind.adhere to it and if you do chance to be involved in a minor mishap you should never be responsible for any serious accident.When driving on icy pavements it is well to forget the clutch.At all times the car should be kept in gear and if obeving the first rule the motorist will have no difficulty in changing into low gear for slowing down.Freewheeling should not be used when driving on slippery surfaces and even when braking the gears should not be disengaged until the car has practically stopped.Great care should be taken when using the brakes.Present day brakes are so severe and act so quickiv that their tendency is often to slew the car around and start it skidding.Apply the brakes gently.Easing them off and on will bring better results than one severe push.When possible.however.it is better to use the gears rather than the brakes for slowing down.Skidding is -0 often encountered on slippery surfaces that it is almost impossible to avoid this danger.Three fundamental rules for skidding will offset a good deal of the danger of this most disturbing of car antics, Under no circumstances use the brakes.Keep the car in gear.Turn toward the skid.That is, if in a left skid turn the front wheels left, in a right skid turn the front wheels right.For starting in slippery weather it is better to use second gear.Let the gas in slowly.On all but the most gradual slopes second gear should be used both for acending and descending.On the steeper slopes use low gear.The brakes should not be used to slow the car down when descending a hill.Let the engine slow the car down.Equipment is a very important factor for safe winter driving.Most motorists use chains in the winter time but in districts where the snowfall is light many have found it possible to carry on without them.Second only in importance to slow driving as a safety factor are tires.They are the final link between the car and the road.To prevent skidding the tread must be in good condition.A tire worn smooth will travel 77/¢ further after braking than a new tire.A car fitted with new tires will stop from thirty miles an hour in 59 feet, but if the tires are worn in 59 feet the car will still be travelling at 13 or 14 miles an hour which represents an impact force of nine tons.Tire manufacturers do not recommend deflation of the tires below the pressure advised for various sizes.Windshield wipers are essential, not only for the driver's direct view in front but twin wipers to allow for a clear view when making a right hand turn.Again slow careful driving and a little courtesy rather than fighting for the right of way will prevent a mishap.The steering-gear, brakes, horn, windshield-wiper and tires should be inspected periodically.Remember that from now until the end of the winter the icy pavement constitutes one of your gravest hazards.Banded highways and streets can be used with confidence, but, on slippery surfaces, drive slowly and carefully and use your head! | | | | i Customs Change For Trucks Ts trucking of dutiable goods from the United States into Canada.in charge of a Customs officer from the port of entry to the Customs Examining warehouse, which has been the custom for the past two or three years, ceased on February 15, and the duty will have to be paid at the customs warchouse at the port of entry, or the goods will have to be transferred to the railway and sent under manifest to the bonded warehouse at the railway depots.This is the effect of an order issued by the Department of Natioim] Revenue.The amount of such traffic coming through is not believed to be very large, probably half a dozen or so truck loads a week, but apparently the Customs authorities, fearing that this traffic over the highways will increase, and it would be necessary to have larger staffs at the port of entry to act as convoys for the goods until they reach the examining warehouse in Montreal, and in order to check abuses that might develop in the distribution of the goods en route, have decided that full examination for duty purposes shall.in fuutre, take place at the border, and the duty collected there after complete inspection of the load.Another regulation, which does not affect very largely those districts where goods are brought in bond from one place in the United States, through Canadian territory.and taken to another place in the United States, provides that merchandise may not be transported in bond by motor vehicles over the highway except in districts not served by railways, and then only after authority has been given by the department and necessary arrangements completed.This does not apply to gocds of persons travelling for pleasure or health passing through Canada with goods not being merchandise for sale or travellers\u2019 samples, provided such goods arc noted on the permit issued at the frontier port of arrival without deposit or convoy.The Growing of Celery HE production of celery for market and storage T has been on the increase in Canada in spite of the heavy importations of this vegetable from the United States.In our district there is but little celery grown for the market and storage.except at Valley- field, and the supply produced thereabouts is less than the demand.Two years ago professors from Macdonald College and the local agronomist made a very determined effort to get local farmers to grow celery, and especially those north of Huntingdon in the muck soil region which proved particularly adaptable for the production of this crop.A quantity of the vegetable was grown as an experiment.and the results proved more than satisfactory.The product was of a texture and deliciousness compared with that grown anywhere.There then remained getting a number of farmers interested in growing celery.and in arranging for its marketing.But the second year the venture was not so successful due to lack of organization and administration, It's time now for the farmers of that region to each plan on growing an acre of celery this summer.The matter should be talked with the Department of Agriculture representative so that the marketing of the product can be effected with the greatest returns to the growers.Certain features should be clearly understood, by the producers of celery.that are vital to success in the business of producing and handling crops in a profitable and economical way.First of all.growers should realize that celery for immediate market either in the late summer or early autumn must be fully grown and preperly blanched if it is to be attractive on the market.Knowing these facts then it should not be forgotten that the residue of a late sumer or fall crop while in good condition and very attractive for sale at that season, any residue of this crop no matter how good will not be suitable for storing for winter market.This very mistake made by growers in past years has cost a great deal too much to learn wing to the severe losses sustained in storage plus the cost of the storaze space.Crops for stcrage purpose should be grown for that purpose only and not come from the residue of a good crop of summer or {all celery.The date of sowing will influence to a considerable extent the degree of developinent, Scasonal and soil conditions will exert an influence on the development of the crop.Celery that is fully developed is not desirable for storage.Immature celery that at the ile for late harvest for storage is still partially green and growing will be found very desirable.keeping well and blanching well bv the end of two or three months storage.Dates of sowing have shown that celery seed sown even as late as April 20 will produce ideal plants by the late fall that will keep well in cold storage.The best plants.however, are produced {from seed sown the second week of April.Static, More Static QUAWKS about the radio grow larger, louder and § longer.The radio situation has changed even in a vear or two, Now.even the morons cannot abide the tripe which a prostitution of magnificent scientific work brings to everyone.Formerly, a popular tune would last a year.It is a smash hit now if it lasts a month.The demand for tunes has increased; and the songsmiths of Tin Pan Alley write feverishly on their minuseript paper.a pencil in one hand and a piano under the other.The speed of production has made the popular song unpopular.We are not hopeful about the situation, despite the encouraging remarks of those who claim that the radio is making North America music-conscious\u2014 whatever that means.In former days when we had a piano in every house it did not encourage the love of, or creation of music\u2014neither will the radio.For music is an art, the most intricate as well as the most beautiful of the arts; and it is not given to everyone to enjoy it, let alone appreciate its finer manifestations.There are professionals who do not care for Bach.The advent of daily newspapers did not increase the output or appreciation of great works of prose or poetry.And neither will the radio do that for music.Radio can not get any worse, so it must, we suppose, improve.We can at least look for more good tunes, like the Strauss waltzes, and a great deal less of the monotonous oom-pah of jazz which so peculiarly annoys when emanating from a neighbor's loud speaker.There is a move on foot now to reorganize the Canadian Radio Commission.The workings of the Commission have been unsatisfactory to a large percentage of the Canadian population, and especially to residents of Northern Ontario, who have been loud in their demands for a better service.It should be remembered, however, that the Canadian Radio Commission 1s very much in its infancy, and proponents of its merits claim that it has measured up to all that could be expected of it.The matter is now before the House of Commons, and a thorough investigation into the pros and cons is now being made, so that the action drafted will be in keeping with the wishes of the majority of radio licencees.THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER News Bits Chronicled | LODGER STEALS CHILD i A young

Queensland, Australia, tells of one laborious operation by which the farmer wrests a living from the soil of the Antipodes, viz.the reclamation of scrub land, 20 acres being thus treated in the case described.Brushing has to be done first, i.e., chopping the undergrowth | with a brush-hook.Then the trees are felled, it being necessary that the whole growth lie the one way to get a good burn.This latter also requires a hot enough day with a suitable wind.Then it has to be sown with grass seed, for which, if one ha not saved seed, one pays a shilling a pound.If the farmer cannot manage to split his own fence-posts, this costs him £2 per 100.Then he has to buy barbed and plain wire while a boundary fence may call for wire netting to keep out the wallabies.The cassowary.a bird resembling an

members days when he asked the House to instruct the government to bring in legislation \u201cgranting adequate retiring allowances\u201d to all citizens over sixty years of age, the idea being that many citizens over that age would retire at once and make a place in the field for some of the younger men now unemployed.Opposed to Inflation The proposal was supported, op-: posed and commented upon by a considerable number of members.The Minister of Finance, speaking for the government, said that while he and his colleagues had every sympathy with Old Age Pensions, and were anxious to extend the present bill as rapidly and as far as possible, they did not feel that with the finances of the country as they were now, the government would be justified in proceeding with such a step.By orthodox means the money could only be obtained through borrowing.He rejected the proposal to inflation as not being in the best interests of with the work of these officials now than they were some time since.Forty years ago, one inspector wrote: \u201cA few of the more indifferent school commissioners and trustees regard me as \u2018a spy, to see the nakedness of the land\u2019\u201d.Another stated: \u201cThe year did not pass very smoothly with me.There was an attempt to drag me before the courts for pointing due defects in teaching and for reporting the true condition of the school to the commissioners.\u201d The attitude of the public towards inspectors has altered considerably since those days.It has come to be recognized that the function of an inspector is not to spy and to find fault but to assist in improving the management of the schools and enriching the quality of the instruction.Candidates for the office of school inspector must be successful teachers of a certain maturity and training.No one may be appointed as inspector who has not taught school for at least five years.He must also hold the degree of Bachelor of Arts from an approved university and a first f:nd it hard to cope with the caprices of boys and girls bubbling over with life.Elementary inspectors visit each school in their territory at least twice a session, but they often make more than two inspections in particular schools, As they have as many as: pinety schools under their control, | and as their districts of inspection are extensive, it is sometimes impossible to visit the schools as often as they would like.The district of the Inspector of High Schools extends from Noranda in the north west of the Province to New Carlisle in the east.The assistant High School inspector has general direction of the intermediate schools.His territory stretches from Rouyn to Gaspé.As the two last named officials have wide administrative duties also, they are unable to pay many second visits.In place of this, they sometimes stay a day and a half or two days in a school.Much guidance is given to teachers in the annual conferences called by TEAKS not infrequently become leathery in

conditions are allowed in the case of inspectors in remote regions.Inspectors must of necessity be familiar with the subjects of the course of study and with the best methods of teaching.To this end.they must pass a satisfactory examination in the methods of teaching the subjects of the authorized course of study.As they are required to supervise classroom teachers they must also pass a test in the organization, discipline and management of schools.Since their duties bring them into close contact constantly with members of school boards and secretary-treasurers of school municipalities they are examined in the school law of the Province and the regulations of the Protestant Committee.Qualifications The characteristic commonly called personality is needed in an inspector as much as academic and professional qualifications.A thorough interest in his work is one of the unwritten requirements for office.Ability to teach is necessary for he must give model lessons in the presence of teachers.He should also be a man of kindness and broad sympathy.one whom earnest teachers will welcome, because he will give serious consideration to their problems.It is the duty of inspectors to study carefully the methods of instruction used by teachers, point out serious defects of all kinds, examine the pupils in some degree and classify the schools according to merit.Many a teacher who has been discouraged has received stimulation from the visit of this offiçial.Out of the richness of his experience he is able to diagnose the situation and to pre- Do You Ever Wonder W hether

the Inspectors.At these, the problems peculiar to each inspectorate general interest, including methodo- | logy, discipline, time tables and other school routine.An official from the Department of Education in Quebec is frequently present at these confer- | ences, and members of the staffs of | the School for Teachers, McGill Uni-, versity or Bishop's University often furnish inspiration and inform the teachers of new techniques in education.provide encouragement to pupils to! merely display very human traits; when they desire to show specimens of work performed to the best of their ability.A word of reassurance goes far from someone who understands the comparative abilities of the pupils.In the rural districts, the inspect ors give advice to school boards concerning the keeping of the accounts as well as the general management of schools.In addition, since the establishment of the special audits required by the Quebec Municipal Commission, the books of secretary- tieasurers in certain poor municipalities may be audited by them.These audits have resulted in improvement in the systems of book-keeping in many municipalities.: Supervisors In addition to the inspectors, supervisors are employed who are subject specialists.Supervisors usually visit the teachers more frequently than the inspectors are able to do.They occupy themselves more particularly with assisting and encouraging the younger teachers but, owing to the expert character of their training and their broad experience, they are also able to * render much valuable service to teachers who are more mature.Another very good reason for the visits to teachers\u2019 classrooms of government inspectors, high school principals, superintendents and inspectors appointed by school boards.is to acquaint themselves with the success and mental growth of the teachers.Good teachers are always in demand, tor parents are anxious that every year in each child's life shall be spent under the guidance of a teacher who is not only well qualified but who also is well disposed towards children and whose morals and manners are good.In addition.inspectors are always ready to recognize teachers of ability who by their own examples and by means of professional talks and articles may stimulate their fellows.These teachers are often selected during classroom visits by their superiors, Demonstration lessons.some of which are of incalculable value, are given by such teachers at conventions and professional meetings.The visits of the inspectors and their reports are scarcely of less value to the Boards than to the teachers.Besides reporting on the classroom efficiency of the teachers, these cfficials give school boards advice concerning choice of sites for new schools, building plans and repairs needed.They help the Boards, upon request, to secure desirable teachers and avoid those who are not likely to render the best service.Boards, teachers, pupils and parehts are greatly benefited by the visits of efficient school inspectors and supervising officials who should be looked upon as the friends of all.Dundee Church News Items.\u2014 \u201cEducation Week\u201d was introduced on

further burden to the export industries; and that it would thus result in an actual decrease in employment.Ways of Finding Money The supporters of the bill, however.suggested ways and means of finding money.Angus MacInnis read some of the salaries and bonuses paid tobacco executives; and suggested there was a source there.Miss Macphail quoted from the government estimates the sum spent on the Royal Military College and on cadets: that would provide enough to give pensions to the incurable invalids.The member for Rosthern, Saskatchewan, suggested a means whereby the government could get large sums of money from the banks for nothing, or next to nothing.The House spent one day voting supply.Nothing very exciting happened.except near the end, when the redoubtable \u201cGerry\u201d McGeer and

Poultry Campaign For Increased Quality The very favourable opportunity for the export of Canadian poultry also affords an opportunity of another kind.Briefly, in the opinion of all concerned in the industry, the question of increased quality should be dealt with in a comprehensive manner without delay.While export outlets are very encouraging, states W.A.Brown, Chief, Poultry Services, Live Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, in a recent report made following a visit to the British Isles, it must not be overlooked that Canada\u2019s largest market has always been her home market.The time has arrived, Mr.Brown points out, when the opportunity with respect to quality is such as to justify a well-considered increased production campaign in Canada that Will include all of the interests con- cerned\u2014breeders, hatcherymen, producers, trade, and transportation.t is felt that this opportunity will have a special appeal to breeders and hatcherymen in that it is evident some improvement in type of poultry is needed to bring about the Iar- gest possible percentage of the higher grades, and to ensure volume will need not only expansion and full use of all hatchery equipment but a coordination between breeders, atchery- ; men, and exporters in the centres \u2018where increase in volume can bese \u2018be arranged, finished, and more readily assembled for export with the minimum of expense.So far as concerns the present export opportunity, Britain is making little or no effort to develop her frozen poultry trade, practically all of her poultry being marketed in the presh condition.Poland and Hungary are at present Canada's principal competitors.Poultry from Canada and the other Dominions enters Great Britain duty free while that from foreign countries with the exception of Yugo-Slavia has to face a tariff of 3d.(6 cents) a pound.The recent trade agreement with the United States has also opened up export opportunities with that couny try.Inquiry is reported for both live and dressed poultry.and some shipments of the former have already gone forward.The markets of the T Wednesday, February 26th, 1936 United States in the past have taken much fowl

GLEANER ENERAL elections in Spain under | fifty dollars a month: The motion the Republic are riotous times, In the elections held recently six per-! sons were killed and a number wounded.The elections were won by the Radical party and for a time it was feared that there might be civil war.As usual in cases of this sort, thea churches suffered.Bands of men and women raided various Roman Catholic churches and a few were burned, others damaged to varying degree.Martial law has been proclaimed in a number of districts, and the Government is making every effort to keep its more obstreperous adherents within bounds.* * * * * Revolt in Paraguay NOTHER civil war or revolution has broken out in South America.For years Bolivia and Paraguay have been at war about the Gran Chaco valley, and the conflict has been brought to an end.The result, however, was that Paraguay was filled with war veterans who believed they had been badly treated by the Government and these soldiers have risen in revolt.They have succeeded in seizing the reins of government and have taken control of the country.The President, Eusebio Ayala, has been forced to fly and with him have gone several of his advisers.* * * * * Secret Document Stolen BRITISH public opinion is aroused over the apparent theft of a secret document from the Foreign Office.Some time ago the British Government appointed a commission to examine the Ethiopian situation from : British point of view, and to report as to how an Italian conquest would affect British interests.The Commission examined the situation in detail and their report was to the effect that Italian conquest of Ethiopia would not affect British interests in any way.Great Britain was interested only in two matters: the\u2019 (1) that Lake Tana, source of Nile, should be safeguarded; and (2) that tribes in British Somaliland should have pasture for their flocks.The report was not published.but was kept as an official secret document until an Italian newspaper suddenly published it in full.Whereupon questions were asked as to how the Italian paper came into possession of a secret document, but no satisfactory answer has been given.Meanwhile, it is pointed out that the document offers a complete refutation of the charge that Britain was only selfishly looking after her own interests in trying to stop the war in Ethiopia.Britain, it is shown, has no interests of any kind in that region.* + * w + Italian Victories PPARENTLY Italian commanders have succeeded in forcing the Ethiopian leaders into a general engagement, and have won the sweeping victory inevitable in such a case.The |: Africans were no match whatsoever for the Italian artillery and machines and were terribly cut up.Later Italian aeroplanes flew over the straggling survivors and exacted a heavy penalty.In answer to questions in the British House of Commons, it was stated that the Italian war is costing Britain thirty-two thousand pounds sterling every day.That is being paid to keep troops and ships in readiness in case of trouble.* + Li * * Troubles Elsewhere USSIA and Japan have been continuing their diplomatic exchanges.It was suggested that a commission should be appointed to examine the Mongolian boundary question.and there followed some bickering as to who should compose such a commission.Finally that idea was drop- ed.P Germany, Italy and Austria are said to have arrived at some sort of agreement in case any one of the three is attacked.Some reports have it that Germany and Italy have united to form a common front against France and Britain.While such an alliance may be possible, it is a curious one.Germany makes no secret of her dislike of France and her desire to keep friendly with Britain; Italy realizes that Britain has been the leader in the League's moves against Rome and that France has been her friend; France is friendly to Italy and at enmity with Germany; Britain wants to see Italy stopped in Ethiopia.but is genuinely desirous of peace on all fronts.* * * * Politics at Home N THE Dominion House of Commons there was a long debate on the advisability of granting pensions to any one over sixty.The proposal made was that any one who reached sixty years of age should be allowed \u2014but not compelled\u2014to retire, and should receive a pension of probably \u2018was talked out.This was a private member's motion and so many people wanted to speak on the subject that six o'clock was reached before they had finished ' talking.Now the rule is that the House adjourns at six, and therefore any private member's motion that may be junder discussion is dropped to the bottom of the list to appear again \u2018when its turn comes.As a matter of fact, its turn never comes again, because there is never enough time in one session to go through the list twice.| That is what is meant when it is said that a motion is talked out.| The House of Commons also went into a long discussion about various diseases affecting cattle and poultry and measures that should be taken in that regard.* * * * * Short Notes MAN in Picton.N.S.has been £1 fined fifty dollars

any more at all.And I said: \u201cIsn't Calvert coming?\" And she said \u201cNo\u201d ma queer way that made me not ask any more questions.There were policemen all over the court house when we got there, and they all seemed to look at me as if they knew 1 was the son of the man i they'd arrested, especially the big one at the door of the police court itself, hut we got past him and Robert

let it go.Just near where we sat was a long :cage, with benches right along it, and just as 1 was thinking about it-\u2014an awful thing happened.A hig door lifted.showing stairs, and up came a policeman, and after him a line of « ! queer-looking men\u2014and there was father with the others.with his ciothes all musses .and, just behind him, Calvert Smith, with a black \u2018eye! | When I

And then 1 looked black eye.and I wanted \u201cHurray for father!\" like I did for sis that time she sang and got the roses.But there was father into it himself now, and swearing on the Bible to tell the truth, with his hair standing up worse than ever on the hald parts.\u201cWilllam Marshall,\" said the magistrate, \u201cWhat have you to say?\u201d Then father began and told how at Calvert's 16 HEARTED HARRY = = FILL\u2019ER UP !

who is\u2018the bonnet for?\" She replied, \u201cI am expecting my husband in a few moments, and we are going down town.At the restaurant where he dines the walter is a foreigner.Last week they had a baby, so I thought I would make a couple ,of bonnets for It, and John and I are going down tonight to see them.\u201d Somehow or other the heat and humidity had vanished as we walked thoughtfully homeward in the dusk.\u2014(The Forester).Life's Battle We are constantly speaking of the \u201cstruggle for life,\u201d and calling life \u201ca battle\u201d; but we do not see that our very existence, and the fact that we have a hattle to fight, are due to the struggles and triumphs of those who have gone before us.We think that some strange thing has happened to us, and that our lot is an unusually hard one.But such thoughts are altogether \u2018unworthy.Our fathers found life a5 \u201chard a battle as we do, and if they {had not fought we should not be \u2018alive to fight.Every stage of human | history is the outworking of the same destiny; and it is in fulfilling ours, ænd entering well into the struggle for life as arranged for us, that we do our part toward perpetuating the moral life of humanity.We are des- |cendants, and somebody is responsible for us.We are progenitors, and we are responsible for somebody.were rather CH A By MARGARET DOUGLAS THE SURPRISE HE Forest children loved surprises.and they meant to waken very sleeping long after they should have got.up and it was only when they heard the Fairy Queen's Magis Whistle.that they jumped out of their Leds.Scrambling into their clothes, they hurried outside, while all the Mothers and Fathers poked thelr heads out of the windows, and even the birds stopped singing and peered down from thelr nests to cee what was going on.Suddenly the whistle stopped and Mr Clopetty the Horse cane galloping up, his beautiful white mane tossing, and the silver bells on his crimson velvet saddle, ringing out merrily.The children jumped they gathered round who sat down in the middle of the green, and smiled sweetly on bis IH - tle friends, \"Good morning 1e Denarkins,\u201d he said, \u201cThe Fairy Queen reeds your help \u2014-now listen very carefully, and hold your breaths.\u201d The ebhildren did as they were told, und even the Tttle birds never moved, while the leaves on the trees bent down lo listen, and the flowers put their pretty heads on one sidë and the tiny brook stopped running end everything was perfectly still.Mr.Clopetty took his red silk handkerchief and wiped his lovely sitin brow;

and, more exacting still, King Edward VITT spe- clalizes In stamps of Prince Edward Island.Do you Jike engines, planes?You ean make à collection of stamps with any of these as the central design, There are stamps Illustrating all kinds of ships and bonts.From an ancient Roman galley to the newest mandie, There age trains of all kinds chown on different stamps;

part treat their animals considerately.In fact the children and animals live together in carefree companionship.The little mud-walled cabins with grass roof usually consist of three rooms.and one of these is reserved for the smaller animals.Large animals are kept in a shelter called a thorn boma.They have to be securely locked up at night, as wild beasts prowl about and wound or kill any animal they can reach.The Emperor, Haile Selassie.is very fond of dumb creatures, and a small playful dog is his constant companion.Cubs, small monkeys, and other pets keep the royal grounds full of excitement.One sees a great variety of animals in Ethiopia.Mules and horses are plentiful, and do much of the work.Fine Arabian steeds, gaily decorated, carry the many chiefs about, and horses of humbler breed transport heavy leads of hides, firewood, and other materials along rocky trails.When the roads are too dangerous, mules are used.as they are very sure-footed.Despite their size they have great endurance, and can carry large packs a great distance.In the rainy season it is often necessary for both horses and mules to ford streams, and this is one part of the Journey that finds no favor with them.Oxen are the mainstay of the Ethiopian householder.They pull the old fashioned forked-stick plow, and then when the grain is ripe they thresh it by treading upon it, just as was done in Biblical times.A variety of millet.called teff.is the principal crop.The women grind the flour at home in a rude stone mill.and make their bread in two large pancake- like loaves.There is an abundant supply of the humpbacked variety of cattle in Ethiopia, and countless sheep graze on rich pasture lands.Animals must constantly be guarded.as the ever- watching hyena is ready to pounce upon a herd if someone is not always on the lookout.In the southern part of Ethiopia camels are more common.Here water holes are scarce, and as camels can ge without water for long periods, they are invaluable for lengthly journeys.All the wild animals known to Africa are found in the forest and rocky hiding places, and their cries are heard at night.Ethiopia is known as the naturalist's paradise, and those who expect to visit the land some day surely have something about which to dream and to look forward.For Sale \u2014 Real Estate 150 acre farm, late Patrick Cunningham, 1% miles

or luncheon or supper, but is useful also in many meat and vegetable dishes.The onion is particularly valuable when the food budget is limited, because it adds flavor and variety to otherwise uninteresting meals.Cooked, it adds bulk, minerals and some vitamins, and when raw, it is an excellent source of Vitamin C.Onions with bacon is just one of the many tasty ways in which this healthful vegetable can be served.Onions With Bacon 4 onions, % pound bacon, 4% cup bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon bacon fat, 3 tablespoons hot water, 14 teaspoon salt, dash of pepper.Peel the onions and cook them slowly until tender, but not too soft in boiling salted water.Then drain them.Scoop a small section out of the top of each onion; place the on- fons in a baking dish, then fill the cavities with chopper, uncooked bacon, and also lightly cover the tops of the onions with the bacon, Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and add the bread crumbs.Pour the bacon fat and the hot water around the on- fons and bake in hot oven until the onions are lightly browned-\u2014about 40 minutes, according to the size of the onions, The Best Way It were better to accept it as it comes and be cheerful, whichever way the wind blows, whether it be hot or cold, rainy or dry\u2014(J.R.Miller +.phy suitably replied, thanking their sic and singing was then enjoyed for a few hours, after which the friends

got one hand on the W.E.Lefebvre Tip-Top Trophy, emblematic of Town League hockey supremacy, when they handed Cana- \u2018diens a 6-1 setback in the first of their two out of three game play-off \u2018series, Monday night.The second game will be played next Monday \u2018and a third, if necessary, the following week.Both teams played a wide open brand of hockey although the soft ice slowed the game down considerably.Leach Textiles had an edge in the play during the first period and gave Houle 14 shots to handle while Canadiens were shoeting 9 at Muir.In the second period Canadiens more than held their own with the Textil- ers but gave Muir only 8 shots while Houle was kicking out the same number.In the last session Canadiens outshot the Textilers 7-6.The Millers came from behind in the first period after the Canadiens were ahead 1-0, and at the end of the second bell were leading 3-1.During the third period they were content to hold their opponents.but ; they also found time to add three ad- \\ditional counters to their total.: The French team wasted no time \u2018in the first period as J.Lefebvre put them one goal up before the game was three minutes old, on a long shot from centre ice.Muir lost sight of | the puck as it left the ice, and it was in the net before he could make a \u2018move on the play.However Wilson l'evened the score on an individual effort within sixty seconds.After that \u2018the Textilers were never headed, al- \"though Canadiens, playing in their very best \u201cboring-in\" manner, were | dangerous at all times.and Muir had to come to the rescue on more than {one occasion.Tedstone and Brownrigg supplied the Millers counters in the second .stanza.Earle got the first one after one and a half minutes of play.when he got his stick on a loose puck near the Canadien net and let drive a blazing shot from directly in front of the goal.Brownrigg took Faille's : pass at the goal-mouth for the second one, and shoved the puck into ;an open net.Fortune helped himself to two goals during the last session, the first one on a pass from Faille, and the second from Tedstone.Both times \u201cChick\u201d was in and on top of Houle and the latter had little or no chance on either shot.Flack tallied the first goal of the period when he walked through a wide open space in the Canadien's defence and beat Houle with a waist-high shot.The game slowed down almost to a standstill in the last few minutes.Through the kindness of Mr.D.J.O'Connor the winners of the game have the privilege of attending any one show in O'Connor hall free of charge.S.Yardley of Valleyfield refereed.six penalties were meted out, the Textilers getting four of them.The crowd was the largest of the season\u2014 receipts amounting to $38.The two Mill teams, Leach and Windsor will play a two out of three game series starting Wednesday night, for the Windsor Silk Mill Trophy.which was awarded last year to the highest scoring team and was won by the Leach Textile team.If the

\u201cInternational\u201d All Stars, led by R.Bruce, played a 6-6 tie with the Malone Hockey Club.This is the third game these two teams have played.Two previous contests were staged on Malone ice with Malone winning one 4-2 and Huntingdon the other 4-0.Huntingdon went ahead in the first period on goals by Hunter and Kirby (2) and the bell found them leading 3-1, \u2018 Penalties to Kirby, Daniel and Hunter in the second period did not stop the locals scoring attacks, and they added two more goals during the period while Malone replied with one.The visitors were seen in their best form during the last session notching four counters and taking a one goal lead which they held till the dying minutes of the game before Daniel got the tying goal.Kirby got three goals, Boyd one, Daniel one, and Hunter one.For Malone, Moore tallied 2, Bel- knap 1, Watson, 1 and Amyot 2.The line-ups were: Malone \u2014 Goal, Eagles; defence, Amyot, Taylor, Coyle; forwards, Watson, Belknap, Decoste,

is told of Alexander the Great, that, when he was leaving Macedonia, he made so many lavish presents to his friends that one of them asked him.\u201cBut what are you leaving for yourself?\" The reply was, \u201cMy hopes.\u201d So full was the mind of the mighty conqueror of the countries and nations yet to be brought under his sway and the treasures yet to be gathered into his stores, that all the riches already won were as nothing in comparison.Men's greatest assets are their hopes.This is true especially of those who stand at the beginning of life and look eagerly forward to the good things which the coming years may bring.But is is well to remember that the realization of our hopes for the future depends on our making the best use of the opportunities of the present.Hopes are assets of the utmost value, but they will become \u201cfrozen assets\u201d unless we do our part to give them ife._\u2014 Teacher: \u201cParse the sentence \u2018Tom married Jane!\u201d Boy: \u201cTom's a noun
