Foundations Laid in Canada For Manufacture of Aircraft For the British Air Ministry\u2014 Investigate Machine Gun Contract By Spectator parliament may be called some time this fall to give its approval to the treaty.This depends largely, however, on whether the treaty contains any appreciable increases in tariff schedules.Tariff rates cannot be raised without the consent of parliament.As this seems unlikely it is probably from the present outlook that parliament will not be summoned.The treaty would he put into force by orders in council and approval would be asked during the next session.Whether parliament is to be summoned depends on a graver issue and it \u201cIs the hope and prayer of everybody that this will not be necessary.The Dominion parliament has been fully advised from Westminster on the course of the crisis in Europe but outwardly all is calhn about parliament hill.There have been no special meetings of the cabinet.The Prime Minister, Mr.King has been confined to his home, though not his bed, with sciatica.His condition is improving and it is stated he will soon be again at his office.But beneath this apparent calm is of course the deepest anxiety.In case war should break out, parliament would probably be summoned immediately to decide on Canada\u2019s course of action.The Prime Minister has stated a number of times in the house of commons that this would be the course the government would follow.Havelock Fair Forges (Continued from page 1) the contest for the Society bread prize and also that of biscuits, no less than 23 entries were made.The McDonald and Robb competition was likewise keenly contested for, there being 21 entries made.The various flour manufactures offered substantial prizes for the baking of bread and biscuits.In these competitions Judge Miss Hankey, of Macdonald College, had a very exacting duty to perform.She praised the bread for its supreme qualities.The results of these most keenly competed for classes is as follows: Homemade bread\u20141, Mrs.Jas.Lang, $2; 2, Mrs.H.L.Gilmour, $1; 3, Mrs.J.J.McArthur, 75¢.Biscuits, white\u20141, Mrs.Chester Waddell, $1; 2, Mrs.C.J.Bryson, 5c; 3, Mrs.Jas.Lang, 50c.Graham

1.Robin Hood Special on sponge cake\u2014Mrs.Jas.Lang, $1.The baking of cakes, pies and cookies, etc.was excellent and most encouraging to the donors of special prizes for such classes.Have- lock fair always portrays a grand showing of preserves, canned fruits, pickles and lastly but by no means the least maple syrup.Chili sauce was competed for by 15 exhibitors, apple jelly by 8, strawberry pies by 9, cherry pies 9, canned tomatoes 9, canned corn 9 and so on down through the list.The vegetable exhibit was the lone part of Havelock Fair that showed a marked falling off.Have- lock Fair like Huntingdon must see to it that the entries exhibited at the fair are really the products of the exhibitor.This has not always been adhered to by exhibitors of vegetables and apples and no doubt this is the real reason why the showing of vegetables were somewhat down over previous years, The vegetable show was by no means poor, for we noted there were 17 entries of carrots, 15 of tomatoes, 12 of turnips, and 14 entries of potatoes divided into two classes.It was the horse show that more than surprised all attendants of the fair.In past years the horse show was very much like a one man show compared to what was on the programme for 1938.With twenty new horse stalls filled and a string of stalls along the fence it can truthfully be said the horse show was up 505.The colts looked well but sometimes the horses looked as though a few extra feeds of oats would have been relished.The horse classes were keenly competed for and watched with marked interest by the farmers and their wives.The principal exhibitors being: D.E.Black, MP, R.T.Brownlee, G.Turcot, D.O.Taylor, W.A, Peddie, Arch.McCormick, M.Kerr, Angus Black, W.C.Collings and W.A.Dunn.In the saddle horse class 6 entries were made, whilst in the yeld mare class 4 years old and over 1200 ]bs, 9 entries \"7 THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Teachers and Commissioners of St.Joseph's School \u2014Gleaner Photo and Engraving.Through the

encouraging to the show directorate.The showing of cattle was also remarkable, Ayrshire and Holstein classes holding sway.The classes were all well filled, the Ayrshire exhibitors were W.W.Barr, W.A.Churchill, H.L.Gilmour, W.Sample, T.E.Cleland, R.W.Templeton, S.Waddell, E.Cuillard and G.J.Brown and others.The showing of Holsteins was made up of exhibitors from both ends of the county.The Westen- ders getting the best of the winnings, The exhibitors were Fred McuGregor, W.L, Carr, J.J.Murphy, G.J.Brown, P.Bastien, Martin Brooks, Geo.Gowdey, W.A, Dunn, and others.Sheep were shown principally by N.J.Fennell and W.W.McArthur whilst the swine were shown principally by C.J.Bryson, G.Turcot, \u2018luos.Gowdey, W.Sample, D.Bu- ritcau, N.M.Brooks, Amos Maynard and G.J.Brown.Mr.Jus.Hunter of Ormstown who judged the swine proclaimed the entries Lo be of most excellent quality.He was particularly impressed with the Berkshire boar owned by Mr.Gerald Turcot.\u2018I'ne poultry are not given very much ¢f a cnance to be displayed at Havelock Fair but Judge John Graham was delighted to see such a fine exhibit made.The farmers who show poultry may only have one or two pens to enter from each farm, yet they all show, and that provokes more interest in the poultry exhibit than if the exhibits were made up by only a few poultry men.The quality of poultry has made tremendous advancement in the past, reports Mr.Graham who has been judging at Havelock for 12 years, The dining hall is a feature of Havelock Fair as much as any exhibit on the grounds.It is here the ladies of Covey Hill have a chance to demonstrate to the peaple of the County that they are the cooks.They spare no effort in providing the fair with a dinner that will please and satisfy the inner man.The bazaars conducted by the ladies appeared to be doing a commendable trade all of which will go towards the benefit of the respective churches.J.W, Stewart, his wife and fam- lly as well as the historic van and team of horses that wended their way from Watrous, Sask.to St, Remi, Que.were on the grounds.The van was quite generously seru- tinized and commented upon.The children went about the grounds selling picture post cards of the van and family that made the 3,000 mile trek to St.Remi, HOWICK The Siloki C.G.I.T.group of the United Church, held a meeting on

Continue To Grow And Flourish W.8.Brown Credit Jeweller \u2014 Graduate Optometrist, Huntingdon - Ethics of Etiquette Starting From the Centre When the centre ornament has been adjusted, it may be used as a mathematical base for all other table appointments.Equidistant around it may be arranged the candlesticks in bronze or silver, one pair for a small table and two pairs for a table that is fairly large.Candlelight is always preferable at the dinner hour because it diffuses a soft, restful light that somehow awakes old memories, stirs pleasant thoughts, and invites the chatty kind of conversation that everyone enjoys.Between the candlesticks, stately guardians of the centrepiece, are placed small dishes containing preserved ginger, salted almonds, bonbons.Salt-cellars are next located on the table.Up-to-date hostesses are using tiny glass salt-dishes, instead of the cellars, providing small silver or glass salt-spoons.Remember that both sides of the table must be balanced and that there must be actual use for everything.No correct table is ever littered with useless, hampering articles.The places are now laid for the guests.The correct number of forks is placed to the left, the spoons and knives to the right.There are generally three forks\u2014never more\u2014 and the same number of spoons.Usually there are two knives, though sometimes only one.Butter is not served at a formal dinner, so that there is no need for a butter knife, Between the forks at the left and the knives and spoons at the right is a small square of bread or a dinner roll covered with the folded napkin.The glasses are placed a trifle to the left, the water goblet being almost directly above the point of the knife, In placing silver, that piece is nearest the plate which will be used last.The first spoon or fork to be used is on the outside.All silver must be laid evenly on the table, about an inch from the edge, and it hardly seems necessary to add that it must be bright and shining.Silver that looks yellow, stained, or tarnished is a reflection upon the hostess, Havelock Mr, and Mrs.Wm.Ball of Vars, Ont., spent a few days with relatives here, Miss Helen Bustard of Hemming- ford spent a few days with friends here, Inthe Shadows Cryptograms Prepared Specially For The Gleaner By WHIZZ BANG begin.As a further inducement to $5.00 will be given to some one who only

Huntingdon to recommence and to continue their work of charity, zeal and devotedness which they had so regretfully forsaken.Day by dav the pupils became more numerous | and the people of the parish realized more clearly the great and noble task of education that was being carred on by our devoted Sisters.This active religious got in touch with the oldest residents of the parish who had children of a school age, and by her engaging disposition and genial personality soon won their esteem and affection.The cooperative spirit of her zealous companions, her own courage and trust soon filled the house with pupils and the parish with confidence in her management.S.S.Eustelle is still living, and has reached the ripe old age of ninety years.seventy-two of which have been spent in our beloved community.Her wit is ever sparkling, and the very mention of Huntingdon brings a smile of contentment, proving that her memories of this parish are ever green and that the joys of her mission surpassed the inevitable difficulties that bestrew her path.It was during Mother St.Eustelle's sojourn that in the autumn of 1902.the number of pupils had increased to the extent of making it

before.Preventive treatment heretofore has consistd of a spray of zinc sulphate in the nose which has proved only partly effective, scientific experimenters at Stanford university, California, declare because this germ destroyed did not reach the olfactory-nerve-ending area in the upper nose.It is at this point that the deadly germ is sald to enter the human body.One drawback to this treatment is that it destroys the sense of smell temporarily.Further tests are being made in the hope that this may be avoided without reducting the potency of the treatment.It has been found that children wili recover their sense of smell more quickly after treatment than will adults.Miss Louise Harrigan of Seattle, 1s the guest of her old friend, Mrs.Margaret Whyte.Miss Harrigan, who has been away from

O'Hara.which arrived in Boston last week, a whale gave one of his sailors a ride that ought to be thrilling enough for any adventure- loving seaman.The sailor.John Clement.was pulling fishing trawls into a boat some distance from the schooner when a whale, at least 100 feet long.suddenly appeared.its mouth open, feeding on a school of herring.Reaching Clement's boat, the monster apparently intended to swallow it, too, but changed its mind and just carried the boat and its occupant along for a distance of probably a mile.Then it let go the boat and Clement, rowing for dear life, returned to the schooner with his harrowing tale and a more vivid realization of how Jonah of old felt after the whale gobbled him down.i Chas.H For 40 years CHAS.H goods, see .and you Huntingdon - - extends

the Ayrshire breed and has spent his lifetime in the interests of that breed.The foundation animals of the herd were purchased along with Burnside Farm, from Robert Robertson, and included several animals which were prize winners at the World's Colum- bian Exhibition which was held at Chicago in 1893.Early winnings of the original Burnside herd also included the female champinnships at Buffalo in 1901, which awards were won by Lady Earl, a heifer which was bred at Burnside.At the Dominion Exhibition at Winnipeg in 1904 the Burnside show herd won major honours, after are Lon well-known to require repetition here but mention may here ibe made that the Premier Breeder Award at the Royal Winter Fair was : won by Burnside in 1931-32-33-34- 35, as also at the Eustern States Exposition in 1932.Burnside cows have never been fed for high production, theirs has been the responsibility of keeping their owners, yet these cows have made satisfactory records under ordinary farm conditions.Three of the nineteen 100.000 pound producers which have won Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association's Meritorious Production Gold Seal Certificates were bred and developed by R.R.Ness

only.Every cow that finds room in his stables must be a good, profitable producer.Daily records are kept of milk production, and all two-year-olds that do not show producing ability are got rid of at the first opportunity.Mr.Ness is a good feeder.Cattle such as his are not produced on scanty ratinns.And such cattle will pay well for good feeding.Following are a few of the highlights in the career of Mr.Ness.He started exhibiting Ayrshire cattle at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, in 1904, and has exhibited each year since that date.He made the first importation from Scotland in 1904, and almost annually since.Mr.Ness has exhiblted Ayrshires in Canada from Halifax to Vancouver, and at most of the prominent exhibitions in the United States.The Provincial Merite Agricole Silver Medal was won by his farm in 1900, and the Gold Medal in the same competition in 1912.In 1908 he was president of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' Association.He served on the committee of judges of the Provincial Merite Agricole Competition during fifteen years.Mr.Ness has been President of the Mutual Fire.Insurance for the past twenty years, He has been a director of the Ormstown Exhibition since its inception and President for the past ten years.This great Exhibition he has seen grow from a small fair to one of the best of its kind on the continent.When it comes to prize winning live stock it can be said of Mr.Ness that during his time he has won more Championship prizes leading exhibitions of the on rine than any other breeder.If you should be inclined to doubt this visit his home at

thousands of friends of the Huntingdon Gleaner in offering congratulations upon the occasion of its 75th anniversary.\u201cWhen it is remembered that the very existence of a newspaper depends upon the reader-interest it creates and retains, there can be no doubt that for many years the Gleaner has reached the hearts of those in the community it serves.This district has been prominent in the history and development of our Country and the archives of the publisher must contain much valuable material for the historian and student.\u201cIt was not my pleasure to meet Mr.Robert Sellar.founder of the

Gazette.Both are \u201cfamily\u201d papers.\u201cI have always been a consistent proponent of the idea that the role of the weekly newspapers is growing as regards public matters, and that people will

RT.HON.ARTHUR MEIGHEN, former Premier of Canada and present Opposition Leader in The Senate, Ottawa, Ont.\u201cThe Huntingdon Gleaner is one of those newspapers which are known to Canadians far and

interest and influence as has been its past.I congratulate \u201cThe Gleaner\u201d on reaching the seventy-fifth milestone of its service.\u201d From C.E.PETCH, Entomological branch, Dept.of Agriculture, Hemmingford, Que.The Gleaner, Huntingdon.Que.Gentlemen: \u201cThe district of Beauharnois has long been recognized as one of the leading agricultural areas in eastern Canada.If the district merits this high rank then its news medium (The Gleaner) should receive its fair share of credit.because a newspaper is the guiding influence in its sphere.During my 27 years residence here, agriculture has developed many new lines of culture and enlarged most of the older ones.The Gleaner has kept pace with this progress.and if agriculture continues to expand in this district.I feel certain our newspaper will not lag behind.My heartiest congratulations are extended to The Gleaner on its 75th anniversary and for its many improvements since I started reading it 25 years ago.May I extend to the management my best wishes for an equally successful \u2018afield.gratulations on this important occasion.The Gleaner has a remarkably long and honorable career of public service, not only in its immediate vicinity, but much farther This has been due to the sane, courageous and fearless editorial policy of its founder whose commendable characteristics have been carried on by the second generation.\u201cI may say that from week to week as I read The Gleaner\u2014and it is one of the papers I read thor- oughly\u2014I marvel at the high standard of excellency that your paper maintains year in and year out.Its constructive and informative editorials, its thorough local news coverage written in an interesting style and featured with illustrations, and the large amount of local and national advertising all go to make The Gleaner a powerful influence for good.From J.R.BURNETT, Editor and Managing Director, The Charlottetown Guardian, Charlottetown, P.E.I.The Editor.The Huntingdon Gleaner, Inc, Huntingdon, Quebec.Dear Sir: \u201cFor a newspaper to reach the age of three score and fifteen in this comparatively new country is no mean feat.Newspapers as a whole have passed through many vicissitudes in that period.not a few have succumbed to adverse circumstances of war and depression, so that those surviving to celebrate anniversaries of 100, 75 or even 50 years have good reason to rejoice and to call in their friends and neighbors to participate in their rejoicing.\u201cYou serve a community much akin to that of the Province of Prince Edward Island, where the main industry is mixed farming, with specialization in seed potatoes and silver fox pelts.Here we have never any depression in the accepted sense, nor, for that matter.any great boom.as our produce is regulated in price by world markets.But having several strings to our bow.if one be not up to expectation, the others are likely to act as stabilizers.Like yourselves we are as a whole comfortably off, enjoving the good things of life, none being exceptionally wealthy or none excessively poor.\u201cIt is a great asset for a com- in promoting your community's best endeavors and as a

Mail, Toronto, Ont.\u2018The Globe and Mail welcomes this opportunity to join with the hosts of friends of The Huntingdon Gleaner in the celebration of your 75th Anniversary.\u201cUnlike most institutions and certainly reversing the course of Human Nature, a good newspaper grows stronger with age.Every birthday is a milestone on its road to more useful and constructive public service.With three-quarters of a century behind you, The Hunting- don Gleaner undoubtedly ranks as one of the most venerable of our papers, and is in a position to work with ever increasing effectiveness for its community.\u201cA newspaper is not built in a day; year after year, decade after decade, it improves and extends its service of enlightenment; and wise leadership makes it in time, not only the mirror but the voice of the sound, stable elements in its neighborhood.A new publishing home.for instance The William H.Wright Building we have recently occupied and of which we are so proud, may spring into being in the course of a few months.But, without the intangible values that make up the soul of any newspaper worthy of the name, such a structure would be merely stone, steel and concrete\u2014 a modern example of the skilful architectural use of building materials to shelter a job printer.A newspaper is something more than this.\u201cOur two newspapers owe much to the generations that have gone.In many parts of the world today.papers like ours no longer may exercise that freedom from which springs human happiness.Thus is reversed the trend one would expect of a presumably advancing civilization.Canada, on the other hand, is immune from the trials and restrictions imposed in some so-called \u201cfree\u201d countries.and in return has been well served by its newspapers, among which your own ranks high.To place the credit for this happy position where it belongs.our minds must reach back to the pioneer days of our own land and even earlier in the Motherland.The recognition of the fundamentals of true liberty by leaders of thought in early Britain prepared a foundation in principles and national fibre of which we are the fortunate heirs.\u201cGive me liberty to know.to utter.and to argue, freely, according to my conscience.above all other liberties\u201d, wrote John Milton centuries ago.And \u201cJunius\u201d, whose well known dictum, \u201cThe subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures\u201d, has featured the mast-head of this newspaper ever since its founding in 1844, applied the same thought to our mutual profession when he wrote two hundred years ago: \u201cLet it be impressed upon your minds, let it be instilled into your children, that the liberty of the press is the palladium of all civil, political and religious rights of freemen\u201d.\u201cThe senior antecedent of The Globe and Mail already was a stalwart patriot of nineteen years when The Gleaner first was published in 1863.I am confident that in the course of the succeeding nineteen vears, bringing The Gleaner to the present mature age of The Globe and Mail.vour estimable paper will nave added considerably to its already high prestige.and will enjoy even a closer intimacy with its readers than at present.\u201cOn behalf of our management and entire organization, please be assured of our warmest good wishes.We are more than glad of the opportunity to wish continued success Professor of Journalism PROF.JOHN H.CASEY, of the University of Oklahoma.From PROF.JOHN H.CASEY, Professor of Journalism, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma.Mr.Adam L.Sellar, The Gleaner, Huntingdon, Que., My dear Adam: \u201cI consider it a privilege to contribute a brief message to the Gleaner on the occasion of your celebration of the Gleaner's 75th anniversary.\u201cA few years ago I selected the Gleaner as the outstanding weekly newspaper of Canada including it with my annual selection of an All- American Weekly Newspaper Eleven.I have received the Gleaner regularly since that time and have never ceased to admire the enterprise of this remarkable newspaper.\u201cWithout its newspaper the small- town American community would be like a school without a teacher or a church without a pastor.In the aggregate, the country newspaper determines the outcome of more elections, exerts a greater influence for constructive community progress, is read longer by more members of the family and constitutes, with its millions of circulation and quadrupled millions of readers, a better advertising medium than any other group of newspapers or periodical publications.\u201cWhen properly conducted, it cultivates so intensively its home news field that city dailies, farm journals and general magazines circulating in the same territory become only secondary influences.\u201cThrough service to its commun- merely survive; it will continue to flourish as the most representative, most wholesome tvpe of journalism America has

\u2018The Gleaner\u201d and very best wishes for continued | service to your readers and your ! community.I am specially interested because both Adam and yourself were on | my staff at one time and I regard , you as two of my \u201cold boys.\u201d \u201cThe Huntingdon Gleaner\" is one of my earliest recollections in journalism, being one of the papers | which came to the editorial offices lof \u201cThe Toronto Daily Mail\" over fifty-six years ago, and which was \u2018always followed with great interest.! As I recall it.it was somewhat different in style and make-up from the average country weekly.Its I columns were wider than the stand- rard.It was unusually well printed \u2018and, it seems to me, the paper used ras somewhat bluish in color\u2014a | peculiar and soothing bluish color different from any other papers {that came to us.When I moved to Montreal, I saw \u201cThe Gleaner\u201d there regularly.It was always, I think, in the St.James's Club, where I lived.Then came the intensely interesting books written by \u201cThe Gleaner's\u201d founder, the late Mr.Sellar.I regard them as among the very best of all the many stories that have been written on Canada\u2019s early settlers \u2014 the real makers of Canada.Along with the historical reminiscences of early settlement in Ontario by the late Hon.James Young, M.P., South Waterloo, I find them the most valuable for reference of any books in my library.particularly at this time.Mr.Young, as you may know, also founded and edited a newspaper.Like Mr.Sellar, he was a progressive Liberal and knew quite well but disagreed quite strongly with that other Scotch immigrant and newspaper editor, William Lyon Mackenzie, and particularly in the last efforts of Mackenzie's life, the separation of Upper Canada from Lower Canada.In their writings, they foretold the developments following the Mackenzie rebellion with remarkable foresight, emphasizing particularly the dangers through the setting up of hundreds of little \u201csuckling\u201d republics \u2014that is the numerous municipal and provincial gov- emments, and the extension and bonusing of railroads and public works which has resulted, as they foresaw, in making the people of Canada perhaps the most overtaxed of any country in the world, and.perhaps what they did not see, the making of many foreign money | merchants into multimillionaires.,Huntingdon is also of special interest to me.One of my earliest subscribers when I started my first business newspaper was the late Hon.James Robb's firm, Macdonald & Robb, millers and merchants.In later years, Mr.Robb and I became very intimate friends.and when Mackenzie King came into the premiership he asked Mr.Robb to Join his Cabinet and he.Mr.King, wrote me a few days after that in \u2018doing so he said to Mr.Robb he did so as a favor to me, that I had been very helpful to him and that as I never wanted anything for myself T would feel amply repaid by the promotion of Mr.Robb.Mr.Robb turned out to be, as I expect- in and long life to The Gleaner.its Robert Sellar and to those who have ed

opportunity to congratulate The Huntingdon Gleaner.upon completion of the unique re- rord of seventy-five years of inestimable service to its community.\u201cA newspaper published by members of one family for three quarters of a century is a service that few.if any, newspapers in Canada can boast.The Sellar family has attained an enviable reputation amongst members of the Fourth Estate.In more recent years under the capable guidance of Mr.Adam 1.Sellar.The Gleaner has come to be considered as one of the most outstanding weekly newspapers in Canada, wide-awake, progressive and ever serving the best interests of its community.This is borne out by the fact that only a few years ago it was selected by a United States journalist as the best weekly in Canada.\u201cA newspaper is judged primarily from four standpoints: 1.The quantity and quality of its news; 2.The editorial page; 3.Its advertising: 4.Its appearance and general makeup.In all respects The Gleaner measures up to my conception of what a model weekly newspaper should be and is making a real contribution to the progress and activity of Chateauguay Valley in this way.\u201cA community is generally judged by its newspaper.Wherever you go in Canada.where you find a newsy, well-edited newspaper.receiving good advertising patronage from its local merchants and business firms, there vou will usually find an alert, up-to-date and progressive town.I have never had the privilege of visiting Huntingdon but judging by the support given The Gleaner I have not the slightest doubt that I should find one of the most enterprising towns in the province of Quebec.\u201cWe of the Ontario-Quebec Divi- slon, CW.N.A.are proud to have The Gleaner as one of our members and we are proud of its record of seventy-five years of community service to Huntingdon.I am sure that the citizens of the town in Which it is published\u2014and surrounding community\u2014likewise take justifiable pride in their newspaper and will continue to give it wholehearted support which it so richly merits.May the Gleaner enjoy many more years of service and progress.\u201d | so well carried on his work and tra- | ditions.May there

of the past will continue on in the same manner.Robert Sellar, the remarkable exponent of personal journalism, made the Gleaner widely known and widely quoted.not only throughout this particular district but throughout Canada as a whole.With such a background, as provided by the late Robert Sellar, the Gleaner cannot help but be a stalwart in the moulding of public opinion in this district.Mr.Adam L.Sellar, who is carrying on the traditions of his famous father, is publishing a most excellent paper.a weekly newspaper.which for news content, pictures and editorials, is on a pareor better than the best weekly newspapers in Canada.He is to be commended for the enterprise and aggressiveness with which he is publishing the Gleaner.Wishing the Gleaner every success in the

R.CARMAN, Editor- in-Chief, Montreal Daily Star, Montreal, Que.\u201cWhen so great a journal and outstanding institution as the Hunt- ingdon Gleaner celebrates an important anniversary.it ranks as a national event.The Gleaner has always been one of the stoutest pillars of this Dominion.It is known and respected far outside of the confines of Southwestern Quebec and even of this Province.Its fearless editorials and its dauntless championship of the rights of the community in which it is published have earned and enjoyed the admiration of the Canadian people.and especially of the journalists who perhaps have followed its course with special attention.\u201cThe name of the Huntingdon Gleaner has always been associate ed with that typical Southwestern Quebec family, the Sellars.who founded the paper seventy-five years ago and have kept it going.through good seasons and bad.ever since.The brain of a Sellar has ever guided and dominated its pages.It is a shining example of that phenomenon among English peoples that is growing rarer with each year\u2014the family-owned and controlled journal.No other ownership is so likely to establish and maintain independence.\u201cAs a Montreal neighbour.I always take inspiration from the columns of the Gleaner and it is with real pleasure that I join in the flood of congratulations on its diamond jubilee, My hope is that it will round out the century and still be a \u201cbest Sellar\u201d.| COL.J.B.MACLEAN, Chair- THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Railway President | SIR EDWARD BEATTY, G.B.E., K.C., LL.D, Chairman

JOHN L.LOWE, Editor of Marketing, Toronto, Ont.Mr.Adam L.Sellar, The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.Huntingdon, Que.Dear Mr.Sellar: \u201cThe British Prime Minister, Rt.Hon.Neville Chamberlain, speaking recently to a group of weekly newspaper publishers, said: \u201cMore power to -the elbow of editors who help maintain the development of their territories, and help them to resist standardization and uniformity.they exert a very special and a very beneficial influence on public opinion.\u201d \u201cMr.Chamberlain was speaking to men whose publications, many of them, were founded more than a generation ago and whose maturity has been reached because they have never cast aside the sandals of youth for the slippers of old age.To this class \u2018The Huntingdon Gleaner\u201d belongs.It is old.as Canadian papers go, but it has the vim, vigour and vitality of youth.| \u201cIt would be impossible, even for | anyone more intimately acquainted | with the \u201cGleaner\u201d and its field weekly newspaper has rendered to, its community during the past | seventy-five years.Glancing through! the issue that is current as I write.I am impressed with a number of | things.Physically.the make-up and ! production of the paper leave no- : thing to be desired; advertising is reproduced clearly and is so dis- | played that the little fellow using: only a few inches of space is not swamped by the big fellow filling large space.! \u201cIt is a function of good merchandising not only to have a clean, | modern and well-equipped store but | also to display a complete and varied : range of the kind of merchandise desired by one's customers.\u201cThe Huntingdon Gleaner\u201d functions in this way.Not only is the paper gond to look at, but it presents A | complete news coverage providing | every community within the \u2018Gleaner's\u201d field of influence with the highlights of their day to day existence.Other editorial matter is equally interesting and pertinent, : and there is a satisfactory sprinkling of illustrations throughout the pages.\u201cAll these excellencies indicate able editorship and publishing control.They go far to explain why \u201cThe Huntingdon Gleaner\u201d has reached the ripe age of seventy-five without mishap, and why it is stepping out into another stretch of three score years and ten\u2014plus\u2014 with eye undimmed and naturai vigour unabated.\u201d From A.A.McINTOSH, Editor-in- Chief of The Globe and Mail, Toronto, Ont.\u201cThe seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Huntingdon Gleaner is an event of more than local importance to the community it serves so well.The Gleaner is one of Canada's outstanding weekly newspapers, enjoying national distinction because of its uniform quality and the high character always maintained on its editorial page.\u201cNewspaperdom at large has reason for pride in the standard it sets.but Toronto newspaperdom has a special interest.When Hon.George Brown, founder of The Globe.recommended 22-year-old Robert Sellar to the Liberals of Huntingdon as Editor of the paper to be started he lost a star employee and gave Huntingdon a writer with the fire of genius.The Globe was then only 19 years old and The Mail, its Conservative counterpart, had not been born.Mr.Brown was wrestling with the problem of reform in representation, one of the pre-Confederation difficulties involving what are now Ontario and Quebec.Thus young Sellar entered on his new venture at a critical political period.requiring a keen mind and earnest convictions.His record as a journalist and author remains an inspiration.\u201cThe traditions Robert Sellar established have been preserved, notwithstanding the necessity of keeping pace with new journalistic ideals.In fact the Gleaner's reputation for enterprise and service never stood higher than under the direction of Adam L.Sellar.\u201cIt is a privilege to extend congratulations on attainment of this milestone in a notable career.May the names Sellar and Gleaner long continue to enjoy their enviable reputation for good journalism.\u201d treal.Adam L.Sellar, Esq.Huntingdon.Que.Dear Mr.Sellar: \u201cRe 75th anniversary number of the Gleaner.\u201cWhile I would consider it an honor to have been born and raised in a County which can boast of .such men as Sir John Rose.Sir William Hingston, Julius Scriver, Judge Davidson.Lord Atholstan.James who by birth or adoption can claim to be the sons of Huntingdon, yet.unfortunately for me, I cannot claim any such honor.\u201cMy paternal grandfather came to this country from Ireland about 1 1825.and settled in Montreal, where I was born.Shortly after his ar- \u201crival here, he sent home for four of his nephews and two nieces.Three of the nephews and the two nieces settled in the Huntingdon, and this accounts for which has left its mark on the pages of our national history.From J.HAMILTON FERNS, Mont-| Well-known Montrealer \u2018Robb, and the hundreds of others | County of i | \u201cI -congratulate you on the fact | that looking back over three-quar- ters of a century since the Gleaner was founded by your father\u2014a man who could truly say \u201ca sense of duty actuates me\u201d\"\u2014you can say without fear of contradiction, that it has at all times maintained and inculcated those cardinal principles which make for the betterment of our country and our communties.Founded upon right principles, the Gleaner has been an influence and a power in moulding the character of many of the sons and daughters of Huntingdon.who have made a place and a name for themselves, not only in Canada, but in other parts of the world.\u201cMay the coming generations of Huntingdon and district find in the Gleaner.as so many others have done in the past.those gems of wisdom, counsel, inspiration and encouragement which will not only help them to build up strong, virile characters, but will qualify them to face and solve the serious problems which now challenge us as a people, and threaten our future as a Canadian nation.\u201d From ARTHUR G.PENNY, Editor- in-chief, Quebec Chronlcle-Tele- graph, \u201cIt is with sincere pleasure that the Chronicle-Telegraph conveys its congratulations and good wishes to the publishers of the Huntingdon Gleaner on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of their great little publication.The Gleaner has always occupied a position of influence out of all proportion to the extent of its field, thanks to the able personalities who have directed it.A rural weekly newspaper that has been giving public service since 1863 is indeed a noteworthy institution in Canada.Long may it continue to live and prosper! \u201cThe secret of the success of any newspaper is to be found in the J.H.FERNS, | my connection and love for a county | Ex-President of the Board of Asses- + ! | sors, Montreal, ee | back of the Huntingdon Cleaner, first and foremost, there has always been one of the most remarkable newspaper families in this Doml- nion- -we refer of course to the Sellars, father and sons.The late Robert Sellar, the founder, was a particularly gifted journahst, well- fitted to meet the needs of a farme- ing community, and his contribution to the progress of the Chatenuguny | Valley was a generous one \u201cAbility is not always an hereditary gift and it was fortunate for Huntingdon and for the Gleaner alike that long before his regretted demise in 1919, Mr.Sellar should have associated with himself two sous in whose promise he could take a legitimate pride.Due, no doubt, to war service, the life of Leslie W.Sellar was cut prematurely short in 1922 and R.Watson Sellar who left newspaper work for the Civil Service, is today Comptroller of the Treasury at Ottawa, but we willingly testify that the work is carried on with the same efficiency by a third son, Adam L.Sellar, the present publisher.\u2018There may be some debate ns to the Gleaner's claim that the Cha- teauguny Valley is \u201cCanada\u2019s greatest dairy farming community,\u201d in which event this paper will remain a disinterested observer but, in the meantime, Chateauguay may safely be recognized as among the greatest of such communities and we hail it as such.Our trust is that its fortunate combination with the Hunt- ingdon Gleaner and the Sellar family may be an enduring one, not merely for its own advantage but for the greater glory of the Province of Quebec.\u201d From WALTER R.LEGGE, Manager of the Granby Leader-Mail, Granby, Que, \u201cIt is with real pleasure that I offer to The Huntingdon Gleaner characters of men behind it.And.my heartiest congratulations on the than I, to estimate the service that te occasion of its seventy-fifth birthday.\u201cThe Management, and especially the Sellar Family, should feel proud of the esteem in which the Gleaner is held throughout the newspaper world, tangible evidence of which was shown recently when the \u201cGleaner\u201d was chosen one of the \u201cAIN American Eleven\".\u201cThe \u201cGleaner\u201d and the Hunting- don agricultural district are two of the best known features of the Quebec Province.The \u201cGleaner and the district have both prospered because Robert Sellar, and later his son, Adam Sellar.always put the best interests of their territory first, and in this way the success of every person in the district has been bound up with the success of the \"Gleaner\".\u201cThe whole province should not only rejoice at this anniversary, but should extend the hope that the \u201cGleaner\u201d will long continue to serve the district as efficiently in the future as in the past\u201d From E.NORMAN SMITH.Vice- President and Editor of The Ottawa Journal and a Director of The Canadian Press since its establishment.\u201cT don't remember a period when the Huntingdon Gleaner was not widely recognized as one of Can- adn's leading weekly newspapers and frequently quoted by its contemporaries.But then

\u201csmall-town\u201d paper on Canadian thought.Its editor has opportunities for glose contact with the people, for learning their problems, for understanding the life of those who form the backbone of the Dominion.The Editor of The Gleaner has availed himself of these opportunities and, of more importance, has from week to week in his well- printed well-arranged newspaper presented and interpreted in clear English the life and views of his immediate section of Canada.The Gleaner in this way has made a contribution toward development of the nation more valuable.perhaps, than it is able to appreciate.May The Gleaner continue to grow ln circulation and influence\u201d STARTS CHAIN KISS Chain-kissing is a new craze, and was started in Slough, England, when a beautiful young

his own fiancee, and, by arrangement, the manager kissed her afterwards.Thus the dancer's kiss reached her lover.Grist Mill | ATHELSTAN HE BANK OF MONTREAL qu joins with other Canadian institutions in

Huntingdon was something of profound importance Lo this community and this district.The history of the railway was very much linked up with the progress of this town and district.The first reguiar passenger rain into Huntingdon was over the present Canadian National Railway line but at that time known as the Montreal and Champlain Junction line of the Grand Trunk Railway.Ociober 8.1883.was a red let:or day in Huntingdon.For on this date the first regular passenger train arnved here.Speaking of its arrival The Canadian Gleaner of that time said the following: \u201cAt half past twelve the train from Montreal was sighted and steamed slowly up to the platform.What a day! What an event! The band was out The town and the station was gaily decorated with flags and buntings and evergreen.Cheering crowds and the presence of important citizens of the district made the event one never to be forgotten by the residents of that time.Ed.ichardson was his first train.I che The Grand Trunk Railway.later, the Canadian National Railway and finally the amalgamated New York Central-Canadian National Railways has given long and valuable service to this district.Amalgamation of the N.Y.C.and the C.N.R.took place in 1935.John Dineen was the first agent here tor the Grand Trunk Railway.Among those who followed him as agents here were the following: F.W.R.Jennings.W.G.McCullagh, Ernest Bourdon and J.O.Michaud.J.O.Michaud.the last agent on the C.NR.here.came to Hunting- don as agent of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1906 from Riviere du Loup.Before that time he was located for ten years at Ste.Martine.He served in the railways for a period of 44 years.He was agent in Huntingdon for 31 years.The peak years for business on the railway in Huntingdon were from 1912 to 1923.Considerable interchanging of cars from the New York Central to the Grand Trunk | Railway made for much activity.During the years 1913.1914 and 1915 Mr.Michaud had as many as eight assistants at the station, There was an average of about 275 cars per day transferred from and to the two lines in the period from 1913 to 1915.There were as many as 400 trans- | fers of cars made in one day during this period.There were few wrecks in the history of the Canadian National Railways in this district.One of the largest was about 1911 when a train jumped the tracks at Carr's Crossing and numerous people were badly injured but none killed.Back in the hey-day of the railways there used to be four passenger trains a day over the present C.NR.line\u2014two up and two down.For three or four years from 1912 a daily milk train to Montreal did considerable business.Following is an interesting account of the arrival of the first regular passenger train in Huntingdon.It was taken from the files of the Gleaner under date of October Il, 1883: Opening of the Railway to Huntingdon The opening to Huntingdon of the railway now being built thru this District took place on Monday afternoon, Oct.8th, 1883.At half- past 12 the train from Montreal was sighted.and steamed slowly up to the platform.It consisted of locomotive 412, a baggage car.and 4 passenger cars.The track was spanned by an arch of evergreens, having on the East side the words \u201cWelcome to Huntingdon,\u201d and on the other \u201cSuccess to Enterprise.\u201d On the station waved several flags and the platform was trimmed with evergreens.As the train came in, the Huntingdon Band struck up a lively air and a cheer was raised.The visitors were mainly French- Canadians from between Brosseau's and Ste.Isidore.At Howick, Bry- sons, and Ormstown highly respectable delegations got on.On Mr.Poster's alighting, Mr.John Hunter presented him, on behalf of Mr.Hickson, with the following address: To Joseph Hickson, Esq., Vice-Pres- ident of the M.& C.J.Railway: Dear Sir \u2014It is with no small degree of pleasure that we, on behalf of the citizens of Huntingdon who have supported the Montreal & Champlain Junction Rallway, welcome your representative today to the village of Huntingdon, and extend to you our hearty congratulations upon the completion of your enterprise.This is indeed a day long to be remembered in the annals of Huntingdon\u2014a day when the last link of the chain is forged ee eras $m = © the

vigor and energy : which has given clear proof of vour iintegrity 1n redeeming every pledge given to the Government, and in \u201cfulfilling to the letter every promise you made to the people of

of the service.the reasonableness of the rates, and the \u2018uniform courtesy of the officials of the M.& C.J.RR.and we are con- i fident a like opinion will obtain in Huntingdon and vicinity.- While conveying our congratulations to you.we at the same time desire to acknowledge most sincerely the high value we set upon the boon which your line will undoubtedly give to the inhabitants of this district.in giving them direct.speedy and comfortable access to Montreal, their chief mart.The period of long and irksome journeys by stage is now of the past.and a great and much feit drawback to the

Quebec.Stanley Popeck, the present station agent, has held that position here for about the past seventeen years.He came here from Utica, New York.Only one bad wreck ever occurred at the Huntingdon depot of the N.Y.C., and even in this wreck tn lives were lost.It occurred about 25 years ago.A C.N.R.freight train coming in from Massena, New York.ran straight into a standing N.Y.C freight train.Each freight train was on its own track, but the NY.C train was standing on the track which crossed the path of the CN.R.train, the tracks being located the same way today.The C.NR.engine ploughed right through the NYC.freight cars and severed the train like a pair of scissors cutting a ribbon.After cutting the N.Y.C, right in two the C.N.R.went right on and its locomotive crashed head

1847.The next prominent event and in which I took an active part.was the founding of the Aca- | demy.which was in 1851, and which has flourished ever since, furnishing many prominent members of the medical profession.the bar and the pulpit.and which has never been more flourishing than at the present.The next event, and which may be compared with that of today.was the opening of the Plank Road.The completion of the Beau- harnois canal suggested to us that we might avail ourselves of its advantages by having a road to the lake, and so we built the Plank Road, which did relieve us from our isolated condition for a time.but it soon got bad.and we had to resort to the long and wearisome road by Valleyfield to get to the city.This railway is the greatest event of all I have mentioned.for it gives us regular communication with the whole world.Its advantages in facilitating our communications are too obvious for remark.but I may say something about its influence in the cheapening of articles nf daily use.Thus.there is a mineral substance called salt.for which the farmers have been in the custom of paying $1.25 per bag and use each from 4 to 5 bags a year.By the railway they will get it at 75 cents a bag, making a saving of at least $2 a year to each farmer.Take the whole line to Fort Covington.count the number of farmers along it.and you will find they will make a saving on salt alone of at least $6.000 a year, representing a capital of $100.000.so that the railway on this one item is giving the farmers a bonus of $100,000.Then, again, there is the article of fuel.Many are beginning to use coal.which has cost.laid down in Huntingdon.$11 per ton.The railway will furnish it at, say.$9.50, which will entail an immense saving.A gentleman in connection with the Methodist church told me he had bought 6 tons of coal for it last winter at Chateaugay.which cost delivered $65.The same can be done now at $50, so that the railway is giving a bonus to the Huntingdon Methodist church of $15 a year to help to buy its coal.The advantages of the railway in furthering social intercourse with Montreal will be very great.and also in making the exportation of produce casier for the farmers, who can apply the time saved in teaming away what they had to sell to ditching.fencing, and plowing.They will be able by it to find a market for much that they have been unable to sell.Thus they have had a great surplus of hay of late, some farmers having as much as 3 crops on hand, being unable to sell it.which they will now.There is even a demand for hay from Great Britain, to which it can be profitably exported.I will not detain you longer.but give, in the form of a toast.S.W.Foster, in connection with the Montreal & Champlain Junction Railway.Mr.Foster\u2014If I were to tell you that this is the happlest and proudest moment of my life.I would only be saying what is true.I have attended many railway meetings in Huntingdon during the past 3 years, and at them I have spent many happy hours and hours that were the reverse.At those meetings I was happy when I met men who appreciated our enterprise and who thereby showed they were true to their own interests and those of their country, and I was the reverse when I met with those who opposed us, but, whatever the meeting.I always went away happy in the knowledge that I left more friends in Huntingdon than when I came.(Applause).Those who looked at me with distrust at first, because they preferred other roads, became my friends with the exception of a few who continued their resistance to disgraceful lengths.Those who came over to our side, on looking at our railway today, completd to their doors, have the strongest evidence that they acted wisely when they ranged themselves on our side, for there, in these cars, is the proof of our fidelity, (Applause).The happiest hour of my life was when I met on the platform of the cars, as they came on at the different stations, old settlers along the route, pioneers, who took advantage of the first train to come up and meet old and valued friends whom they otherwise would not have been able to see.It is occurrences like that that make me proud and happy Now that the conflict is happily over, I would tender to you this ad- vice\u2014that we should forget the past and whatever was unpleasant, that we let those things be past and gone, and, like many other disagreeable incidents that happen in this wicked world lie in oblivion.The cars have come, bringing old friends to join in your rejoicings, and when I look at the flags on your housetops, and see the two standards floating together, side by side, I feel proud that our rallway has been the cause of bringing you and your American neighbors together.Those who opposed our road because they preferred another Stringer\u2019s Store | Frs.Stringer, Prop.Takes pleasure in extending best wishes to The | Gleaner on this occasion, when it

right-of-way and in other respects, and I shall be round in future years to hear their testimony that all I promised has been accomplished.The train that has come today came in compliment to our friends Bast of you along the line, but a train will be placed at the disposal of the friends of the road here to take them to Montreal and back on any day they may fix upon.It may be asked.why not

obliged to you for this opportunity to speak, and to assure you all that the railway will be run for all time in your interests.To show how much it is going to benefit you good people, I may tell you I have been told today by a gentleman that he knows of farmers in this immediate vicinity who have 300 tons of hay for sale, and there is a gentleman here from Fort Covington who has order to buy and ship 500 tons from Huntingdon.I could talk to you for 3 hours describing the great advantages of this railway, but I need not, for you will realize its benefits as time rolls on.The friends in Fort Covington will soon extend to you the same invitation you have done to them today, for the road will in a few weeks be opened to there, and in the near future, it will be extended beyond there until it is placed in direct connection with the American railway system, and that, too.within 12 months.(Applause).The railway, from this out, will be your friend, and let us see who will do most to support a road that is not only for our advantage but designed to promote the prosperity of the whole community.(Applause).Mr.Campbell regretted the absence of Mr.Thomas White, who had been expected to be present, so that it devolved upon him to respond on behalf of the press.He might be asked what relation was there between the Press and a train of cars.Both were engines: great powers in communities.It had been said that the railway was an educating influence so also was the Press.Whatever misunderstandings in the past had arisen, it was from lack of proper knowledge of facts, which it was the duty of the Press to give.The farmer had been congratulated on this road as a means of putting money in his pocket, but it would benefit all classes, with the exception of poor country editors.The railway placing Huntingdon within 2 hours\u2019 travel of Montreal would enable the wealthy proprietors of the great dailies of that city to crowd out the country papers.All arguments in the past against this road become now a myth in its realization, and today is a special pleasure to us who have worked for it.He begged to return his sincere thanks for the Press, which, as a Choice

Moir Hall will also linger in memory for its political meetings, particularly the nomination day joint , gatherings.Those were the days when you knew pretty well how a man would vote by asking what party his grandfather had supported.One meeting which stands out in my memory was, I think, in connection with the 1908 Dominion election.Herbert Ames of Montreal came out and used a magic lantern and a long pointer to put his argument across.It was terribly dull, but unanimously regarded as \u201csound\u201d.Now the headliners are using te radio in preference to per- | sonal appearances.| At the political meetings the women and school children were excluded from the floor.We occupied the long gallery.Looking back.the memory still is one of row on row of bald heads with Alec Henry whooping it up every time Doctor Walsh put across a fast one.In provincial politics there was little local stir, W.H.Walker being generally returned by acclamation until he died.That was the year J.P.Brown, Member to Ottawa for Chateauguay, died and the Honourable Sydney Fisher was forced on the county as the Liberal candidate.The Borden Government had met a setback on its naval bill and decided to get a favourable verdict in a Quebec county.Jim Morris was the Conservative standard bearer, and had a big advantage because he was a local man from Aubrey.Both parties threw in all the sinews of war at their command.The Honourable Bob Rogers had come out of the West and was in charge for the Government, but he never went on the platform.The election was held in the fall.and no school house was too small to be entitled to a cabinet minister or the equivalent.One night Sydney Fisher was to speak either at Brysonville or Tullochgo- rum\u2014anyway the road was muddy \u2014and the Liberals had slipped up, for when the time came for him to start, no buggy was available.The Government organization had rented every horse in the village of Ormstown, and it was too late to bring one in from a farm.He made the trip in a sulky drawn by a Clydesdale stallion.Mr.Morris won, new yellow boots withdraw in faveur of Mr.Blair at when he appeared in a dress suit {the next election?which had been rented in Mont- | left no stone unturned However, Andy in getting money for the county, and any speech he made consisted of a recital of the thousands of dollars he got for local services.It was a language easily understood, especially as he never came back empty-hand- ed from Quebec.The hard feeling engendered sat the Liberal convention, coupled with the victory in Chateauguay, encouraged the Huntingdon Conservatives, and Doctor Moore took the field.It was a hot election, Sir Lomer Gouin coming to Moir Hall for the closing meeting.R.L.Calder was the opening speaker.then Mr.Philps, who was followed by the Honourable Charles Devlin and finally Sir Lomer.He spoke for 40 minutes, slowly and in English.It turned the scale and Mr, Philps won.I may be wrong, but my recollection is that in the past forty years no federal party leader has spoken in Huntingdon county, but Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Right Honourable Mr.Bennett have spoken in Ormstown.In addition.one of the participants in a Riverfield joint meeting during the Morris-Fisher election was the Right Honourable Mr.King, then an ex-minister of the Laurier cabinet up to 1911.He was pitted against Andrew Broder, to whom the honours went, for Andy was a local product with a flair for rural audience work.When Sport Was Sport Twenty-five years ago is, to me.a period when sports were all-impor- tant.The last game of lacrosse had been played on the second day of Huntingdon Fair against a team of Indians.Once in a while a motorboat load of fans would go over to see White and the Cornwall team play the Shamrocks or the Tecum- sehs, but there were only a few Lally lacrosse sticks in the village and tHese were used mainly to toss a ball back-and-forward on the road in front of Charlie Lambs.Baseball was in ascendancy and a league was formed of the Beavers, Ormstown and Huntingdon.The old diamond on Prince Arthur square was abandoned and a new one made on the fair grounds.The opening game of the league season was on the 24th of May and was in Athel- stan between Ormstown and the Beavers.Charlie Fleury and Douglas Elder were the home battery and Brock Astle and Loiselle pitched for Ormstown with Jim Moffatt catching.Huntingdon played an exhibition game with Fort Coving- ton; A.Demers pitching and Leslie Sellar catching.I forget who pitched for Fort Covington, but no doubt exists as to who caught.It was the one and only Tommy Rushlow.As usual he was blamed for tipping the bats.Huntingdon won its game 2-4.That was about the last we won that year, The Beavers, which had a line-up of Pete, Jim and Alec Elder in the outfield, won the league.It was a good league, the trip to the Athelstan field being made by the livery wagon which had long benches down either side; while the trip to Ormstown was made by the afternoon Grand Trunk train.At the time Huntingdon outclassed the district in hockey.The team was in the J.A.H.A.and in the first season won the championship.That year the rink was an open-air one at the end of Lorne Avenue.We never won the championship again, but were always contenders.The covered rink was built before next season, and it was a Sunday duty to walk back and note how A.A.Gilmore was progressing.Huntingdon had two good players from the Eastern Townships.The rest were from Huntingdon, plus Saunders from Athelstan.Bill James was the outstanding favourite because of his speed down the boards and his wicked shot.The rink was always packed, especially when the Vics, with Mowatt, were the visitors.The Village Council Twenty-five years ago the reporting of the meetings of the village council was news, and we were criticized if the report fell short of two | columns.Little importance was attached to the formal motions, what the readers wanted to know was what each member said on every item which came up.Much of it was trivial, for the matters | were such, but those council meetings mirrored the life of the community as it was.I recall one item of business, which along with references to the prives, were never mentioned in the reports.The item was the grant of relief to poor people.Every winter two or three families would need some assistance, generally a load of wood or a bag of flour, and the council authorized the purchases by formal resolutions.As he announced \u201ccarried\u201d, Bob Crawford would call down the table: \u201cDon't put anything in the Gleaner.these people have their pride\".Times have since changed public opinion with respect to public relief assistance.I started my apprenticeship shortly after the temperance question ceased to be an issue.Up to then the municipal elections had been generally on the wet vs dry issue, but after the Central Hotel was burned the drys gained sufficient ground so that, while the Moir Hotel won the first battle in the council, by popular ballot the village went dry.Those were the days when it was open voting, and it was possible to know not only how the votes were being divided, but also how each individual was declaring himself.After the village vote Dr.J.R.Clouston pressed, and succeeded.in a county vote on the issue.If the Doctor thought his work was then completed.he was soon disillusioned, because for the balance of his life he devoted more of his time uprooting blind pigs than he did in healing the sick.Allowing for gaps in memory, my recollection is that in the period I reported the council meetings the boards were composed of: R.H.Crawford, T.B.Pringle, A.A.Lunan, John Smaill, R.E.Kelly, Napoleon Dupuis, James Will.with R, S.Fee- ny as secretary.They managed things well, built cement sidewalks, hard surfaced the roads, and in general operated the village out of current revenues derived from a tax rate of around 10 mills.To see the council at its best was the night the annual valuation roll was promulgated.Every councillor had an intimate knowledge of the construction of every building, its age, what it had cost, etc., so no board was needed to advise it.Generally every one left satisfied, although Dave Turner was never convinced he was not over-assessed and would leave arguing with Bob Kelly, which always seemed to me to be the limit sf optimism, for Bob could be stubborn once he made up his mind, Newspapers of the Day What were we reading twenty-five or so years ago?The number of Montreal Gazettes coming to the village was limited; off-hand I recall that Chas.Lamb, Pringle & Stark, Andrew Philps, W.D.Shanks, Dr.Walsh, Charles Dewick, the banks.Mr.Woodley at the condensed milk factory.and the hotels got copies.The suspension of the Daily Witness left a big gap in the countryside, and people experimented with both the Herald and the Star.The Herald was just passing its peak, and the Star grew in popularity, especially when \u201cThe Mysterious Mr.Ladd\u201d made Huntingdon one of his points of call\u2014when the Star was using him as a feature.How we laughed when he called on the Grahams and Reginald failed to pin him with the question and so win a cash prize.In the weekly field the St.John's News and Advocate, the Ormstown Bulletin and the Gleaner were the competitors.Miss Will was the correspondent for the Bulletin and W.F.Stephen was writing for the 1843 this district.News and Advocate.The Gleaner refused to accept any personals or double column advertisements, and Mr.Dunn from Montreal, who spent ners, used to bemoan the fortune it was passing up.Many an item I could not get in the Gleaner found its way into print through W.F.Stephen's office.papers, but the Farmer's Advocate was deemed the most reliable.However, it catered to horse news and the Holstein and Ayrshire men were turning to the dairy papers more and more, As to the magazines, the supply Charlie Lamb had in stock differed materially from those found on the racks to-day.At that time we had & lot of English immigrants as hired men, and quite a number of English families.therefore a considerable section of the rack was given over |to English magazines and papers.News of the World being the fav- my recollection is that the Popular and Peoples had the highest stacks with Adventure and the Argosy as the chief rivals.Then there was the rather slim Saturday Evening Post, | Colliers, Ladies Home Journal.Woman's Home Companion, etc.The Smart Set had to compete with the Red, Blue and Green Book magazines.McGlure's was popular for its muck-raking articles and the American for its variety.The Cos- therefore a cushion was kept close when one read it, in order that it might be slipped out of sight if callers dropped in unexpectedly.There were no detective magazines.but.when our parents didn't know it, we had Nick Carter.Buffalo Bill, Young Wild West, etc.Then there was the endless stream of Dick Merriwell\u2019s and the Horatio Alger stories.The book sales were limited to the Christmas trade, although Charlie Lamb ran a rental library and Charlie Thomas was forever bemoaning the fact that the village did not have enough go to organize a public library.At Christmas, a new Ralph Connor easily headed a list, with an Anne book with its Prince Edward Island setting running close behind.A Hocking would get the semi-religi- ous trade while a R.W.Chambers would get the sophisticates.No one was well informed if he could not quote from the latest Robert W.Service, while Winston Churchill's \u201cCrossing,\u201d \u201cCrisis.\u201d \u201cInside of the Cup,\u201d etc., were highly regarded, as was \u201cThe Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come\u201d by Fox.The Cattle Breeders Things were moving among the cattle breeders.Neil Sangster had captured the popular imagination by developing a champion Holstein cow.Let us think; was not her name Rhoda Queen of Pleasant Valley?Robert Ness was bringing in shipments of Clydesdale from Britain, but was also including Ayrshire cattle.The competition at the fairs at Huntingdon, Ste.Martine and St.Louis was keen, but the breeders were going further afield for publicity.Dr.McEachran had established at Ormstown and arranged a spring show.using the new skating rinks.Shortly after a start was made of the Arena, at least one fair being held without a roof on the building.That was the year the final day was given over to a purebred auction sale with Andy Philps wielding the hammer, and some beasts going for over $1,000 apiece.The countryside was aghast, then turned to breeding cattle, with the result that the Valley has gained an international reputation for the high standard of its livestock.The district owes a lasting debt to the men who built up the Ormstown Show.: What Change In 25 Years?Since those days of a quarter of a century ago I have wandered a- Quebec his summers with the Tom Gardi- | There were then a flood of farm ourite, Of the American magazines.| | mopolitan was rated a little fas* .\u2018disappeared.ALMOST A CENTURY OF SERVICE TO THE HUNTINGDON DISTRICT BY FORTUNE'S DRUG STORE One of the oldest established drug businesses in the Province of It has been our pleasure to serve several generations of people during our long period of service to this community and district and we trust that we may continue to serve you in the same manner in the future as we have done in the past.Reliability has been our watchword for all these years.We strive to give satisfaction always.May we not add you also to our long list of satisfied customers.;

it is a taxation machine.\u201d The formula was a success.it is said, and is even now in practice, justly in some cases.It is even stated that candidates went so far as to make the promise of not imposing taxes at election time.Moreover.this law appeared to many to have the disadvantage of centralizing authority.as the Governor had reserved rights for himself.In 1845.according to the law 8.Vict.Chap.40.townships and parishes were formed into corporations.with mayors and councillors.It would be too lengthy to enumerate at this time the different laws which were passed from 1840 to 1871 when our Municipal Code came into force, and to make a revue of the different modifications and improvements effected in this course of time: as a consequence.our municipal laws were codified and put within the grasp of the public.only a few vears after the Civil Code was brought into force.in 1866.There have been.truly speaking.very few essential modifications in our municipal code since its putting into force in 1871.The constitution of our municipal bodies has remained practically identical.despite the two revisions which were effected and the amendments brought about at each session.Among the most important changes we note the power given the municipal council to transfer to the corporations the upkeep of roads.and as a resuit.roads were constructed and kept in a better condition: there is more control in regard to loans: the abolition of appeals to the county councils: to the Circuit Court.Personally.T would rather have seen the maintenance of this right of appeal as I do not think that it gave ground to many abuses.but.on the other hand.the right of appeal was a threat to municipal councils.which either by favoritism or misguided interest.The By-Law permitting the incor- ' by day more pensioners were placed | tra.for pasture or bush.| often unjustly were opposed to true poration of cities was inaugurated: ~~ - - - - reform when they realized that their bY statute 40 Vict.Chapter 29: it decisions were final: I could cite has since been revised at different many concrete cases on this subject.intervals.Presently.a commission | Our system is still the most suitable one for our countryside, and it is, necessary.as in all things.to avoid abuses which are.after all, the mis- - takes of men.As to the municipalities of towns and cities, which are governed by the laws of cities and towns.with also.in too many cases, special charters.I am of the opinion, along with several of my confreres.with whom I have had the occasion to discuss this matter.that special charters ought not to exist, and should be abolished.Are not social, economic and financial conditions practically identical throughout the Province?There is no reason why special clauses cannot be inserted in a general law for \u201ccities like Montreal and Quebec.In our district, there are six towns, of which five have special charters.; Huntingdon alone.is under the gen- \u2018eral law, and it is none the worse for it: its incorporation was far from costly; moreover, it is not tempted to go.at every opportunity.before the legislature seeking amendments which are always costly.At each session.many cities present bills to amend their charter.seeking to obtain the same privileges and ad- \u2018vantages of other cities, whose charters they have studied.I believe this is an abuse.an anomaly.and the whole affair is a source of inconvenience.It would seem that each city is a separate state in the Province, thus elections can be held at different periods, as a result, representatives change at varied times.This causes inconvenience and difficulty for the different cities.The qualifications of councillors and electors may not be the same.And as for taxes and the system of taxa- tion, which are often not only a, drawback to business but also a source of difficulties.discontent and other inconveniences, even more could be said.In Ontario, there are but two general laws to govern municipalities of cities and suburban districts: \u201cThe Municipal Act\u201d and the \"Assessment Act\u201d.being chapters 266 and 272 respectively of the revised statutes of 1937.The citizens of Ontario seem quite satisfied with this state of affairs.Would it not be beneficial to the Province of Quebec to do away with all special charters and place all cities under one general law?It is true that this system would see the end of those many pilgrimages to Quebec each vear.which are very costly, although the public in general would be none the worse.How many in- tricues, party handedness and schemes would thus be avoided!

Early Days Than Today (Continued from page 21) makes a difference.\u201d said the official, so without further question he ushered him into the vestry.Mr.Turnbull produced the letter.which was a tactful statement of his reasons for wishing to meet Spurgeon.The great preacher seemed to quite relish the ruse.and granted him a memorable interview.Some reference to the matter of Church Discipline in the early days may be of interest to the present dav church members.There is reason to believe that in general it was exercised for serious offences only and in a kindly spirit.The Rev.James Austin

dinner party at her brother-in-law's on Sabbath afternoon.Another young woman Was called before the session because she had gone across the American border.and had been married on Sunday.and also for visiting her sister on Sunday afternoon.One man was called before session because jt had been reported that he had neglected conducting worship.Mr.Austin's session were disposed to be more lenient than he in such cases.with the result that relations were not always harmonious between them.Finally on July ist, 1851.the Presbytery of Cambridge dissolved the pastoral tie between Mr.Austin and his people.The ministers of the district.however.were.generally speaking, men of sound judgment, as was shown not only in the government of their flocks.but likewise in their pulpit ministrations.For the most part they fulfilled the ideal set by Paul before Titus.They were \u201cworkmen needing not to be ashamed.rightly dividing the word of truth\u201d An instance of a contrary type may be related.It was told to me by a fellow student who had been brought up in the congregation where it took place.The minister at the time was not conspicuous for either his scholarship or his cuiture.and was looked upon as somewhat of an oddity.His parish was one of the smallest in the district.He seemed to be seized with the idea that fear of Hell was the most effective motive in changing lives: =0 he resolved upon a series of sermons on the subject of Eternal punishment.which he termed \u201cEternal burnings.\u201d The series drew out to a great length.each sermon being prefaced by a statement indicatine its number in the series.The people were naturally becoming a bit restive under the ordeal Matters finally came unexpectedly to a head.however, when one Sunday the preacher rose in the pulpit and said, \"Brethren, I now address vou for the seventeenth time on the subject of \u201cEternal burnings.\u201d This seemed too much for one sturdy old farmer.a man of substance and of some consequence in the place.Immediately he reached for his hat.got up and said loud enough to be heard by those in his neighbourhood, \u201cEternal burnings be damned.I'm zoing home.\u201d and he stalked out of the church.Another case of a series of sermons on one text, though in this instance quite undesigned, occurred at St Louis de Gonzague some vears ago.During a vacancy there a preacher was sent up from the city to conduct the services He was a man advanced in vears.hard of hearing.and absent-minded.On the first Sunday he preached from Jeremiah 8: 22: \u201cIs there no balm in Gilead: is there no physician there?\u201d The following Sunday he was sent out again.and again he preached from Jeremiah 8: 22.A third Sunday he was sent and again his text was Jeremiah 8: 22.\u201cIs there balm in Gilead: is there no pHysician there?\".The following Sunday a student was sent.Not knowing what had gone before he had decided to preach from Jeremiah 8: 22.hut when he gave out the text.\u201cIs there no balm in Gilead: is there no physician there\u201d, he was surprised to observe smiles on the faces of the people.Puzzled as to the cause he wondered whether there was anything unusual about his person.Remembering that he had been accustomed to carry his gloves on hi: head under his hat when cycling 1 occurred to him that he might have forgotten to remove them.So he put | up his hand to feel.But no gloves were there.So his puzzlement remained.Tt rather disturbed him.however.to observe the evidences of amusement text.\u201cIs there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?\u201d.At the close of the service he spoke to one of the people about it.and received the explanation.At the time of the founding of The Gleaner, however, a movement was taking shape looking toward the union of all branches of Presbyter- ijanism in the different provinces, to form one great church.extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific.This movement reached culmination in 1875.resulting in The Presbyter- fan Church in Canada.As this was a union of churches having a common ancestry and subscribing to the same standards, a reunion in fact of members of the same family, all the Presbyterian churches in the district with the exception already indicated.promptly ; fell into line.That one, however, has since come in.In dealing with the story of the Churches in the district cognizance should be taken of the more recent movement aiming at a union of ! Churches of different denominations = form the United Church of Cana.It may be better, perhaps, to leave to a future historian the appraisal of the results of this movement &0 far as it has affected religious conditions within the bounds of the Chateauguay Valley.It were easy to scoff at the churches throughout the valley, because of their divisions and human frailties.It should be remembered, however, that divisions represented convictions, for which men were prepared to make sacrifice of time, con- Yep ence, and substance., t be true that \u201ca tree is known by its fruit\u201d, the churches of Chateauguay valley have little to be ashamed of.What they effect- od in preparing men for a future familv renewed whenever during his discourse he repeated the world, only the Great Judge can say.What they accomplished in implanting in the hearts and minds\u2019 of the people standards of conduct, ideals of right and wrong.of justice and humanity, is patent to all observers.They have made of the inhabitants of the Chateauguay valley a people of solid worth, upright, honest, industrious, neighborly.God fearing;

US.Barrister Finest Example of Creative Good Will and Practical Common Sense Among Nations of the Earth is International Good Will Between Canada And United States (By George J.Moore of Malone, New York) Realizing the splendid work done by the Huntingdon Gleaner for years to cultivate intelligent friendship in Canadian-American relations, I take real pleasure in extending sincere congratulations on the publication of the seventy-fifth anniversary issue.During that long period of time no newspaper on either side of the national division line has done more than the Gleaner.to which my father was for many years prior to his death a subscriber.to encourage a friendly understanding and mutual good will.May your valuable journal's life be prolonged many years Lo preach this gospel of mutual help and co-operation.Born in Hunt- ingdon County, Canada, and now a citizen of the United States, it has always afforded me unusual happiness to extend to our fellow Americans north of the Canadian border our heartiest greetings and a sincere welcome to the Empire State.Geography, boundary lines, place names and governmental machinery may seem fo divide us into two peoples but in reality Canadians and Americans.in somewhat different ways, are earnestly striving to create a higher common civilization on this continent.Our resemblances are far more pronounced than our differences.Our likes and dislikes are much the same.Our human needs and the problems associated with their solution are almost identical.And our aims and objectives politically, economically and culturally bear a striking similarity.We New Yorkers are not unmindful of the important fact that until 1776 our history followed a common pattern.In the American Revolution many thousands of our sons and daughters.unwilling to risk the hazards of independence, were loyal to the British Empire.These Loyalists fled from the State of New York to Canada and there helped to build up your Dominion: and their children have assisted in making Canada what it is today.Our loss was your gain.In recent years many of the descendants of those same Loyalists have returned Lo New York to help solve our prob- ems.If the Great Lakes and the majestic St.Lawrence seem to separate us, we must remember that they also unite us.Further our great highways, bridges, ferries, railroads, automobiles and airplanes almost obliterate boundaries and make us feel at home in each other's territory.Thus the forces of nature and man that appear to divide two peoples in reality strengthen the bonds of union.Furthermore, have we not the same blood.language, law.literature, institutions, customs, ideals and purposes?And are not these forces more potent for solidarity than for insularity?Long live this fine spirit of a higher union which unites our two peoples for human progress.On this seventy-fifth anniversary of the Gleaner, let us remember that each nation has many things of great value both to give to and receive from the other.We go to you for college presidents.professors, scientists and trained specialists.You come to us for business methods and capital.You supply us with models for municipal government and banking institutions.and we loan you our inventions.Thus Canada and New York supplement each other and together, like man and wife, form a more perfect unity.Americans have always regarded Canada as sort of a stepmother.Hence when after 1890 the old agri- : cultural frontier in the United States was closed.thousands of our people crossed the border to your country to take up lands and to build new homes for themselves and their children.Similarly thousands of your sons have found employment.opportunities for economic advancement and new home.in are among our best citizens and we are glad to receive them.Many years ago.William M.Marcy, a New Yorker, issued his \u201cManifest Destiny\u201d slogan asserting that sooner or later there would be a peaceful political amalgamation of the two nations.That idea was re-echoed in your country later by Goldwin Smith.Indeed some Americans went so far as to propose a conquest of Oanada.Today.I am glad to say, such ideas are not seriously considered by thoughtful men in either country.That sentiment has been replaced by one of common admiration, of mutual emulation, and of a desire for cooperation in all the affairs involved in man's happiness, comfort and advancement.Indeed the finest example of creative goodwill and practical common sense among the nations of Earth is the present splendid example of international friendship existing between Canada and the United States.And I am happy to give you the assurance that it is and will continue to be the determined policy of the Commonwealth of New York to promote that genuine neighborliness in every possible way.A few years ago New York State erected at Old Fort Niagara the sion, the 75th New Fall 7 West Main St.\u2014 nr _\u2014 The Colonial Dress

noble monument points to one hundred and twenty-four years of unbroken peace between Canada and the United States.It records the significant fact that during that long period there have been no warships on the boundary lakes and no fortified posts along more than three thousand miles of the international boundary.It points out that although since 1817 there have been serious issues between the Dominion and the States yet all of them have been adjusted amicably by arbitration.It gives the whole world a splendid example of the triumph of friendly understanding based on justice, law and reason.It stands as a prophecy for the years to come of the victory of peace over war in international affairs.And through it New York holds oui to her neighbor, Canada, the hand of earnest friendship and the heart of good intent.That the writer's views are shared at the present time by both our people and yours is further evidenced by the fact of a recent ceremony, the dedication of the new Thousand Islands Bridge is for the further purpose of celebrating the Centennial of Peace and Goodwill between Canada and the United States.Canadians come as friends and messengers of amity to New York.The Empire State, as a good neighbor, gives you hearty welcome; extends to you a most cordial hospitality; and hopes that you will carry home with you our earnest greetings and best wishes.Let me urge you to come again, stay longer, see more of our commonwealth, and permit us to demonstrate that our expressions of high esteem are not idle words.Alger Tale\u2014Today He Forest Figsby of Hemmingford is another of the many examples of youths from small rural communities who have gone to larger centres and made a name for themselves.On October 17, 1882, Forest Figs- by was born at Hemmingford, the son of the late Mr.and Mrs.Thomas Figsby.On this date this year he will be 56 years of age.Thirty-eight years ago, as a youth in Hemming- ford, he was financially embarrassed.Today he is a millionaire.Forest was educated at the Hem- mingford Public School and High School.During the holidays and after school he worked with his father who operated a general store at Hemmingford.Forest was never content as a clerk in business and always his mind wandered from groceries and dry goods and what-not to far-away fields, where some day he hoped to make a name for himself.At school he was brilliant but at his work out of school he showed no enthusiasm, However, that enthusiasm was destined to sweep forward like a prairie fire some day when it came in contact with Forest's chosen vocation.It was destined to carry forward Forest Figsby to fame and fortune.In the year 1900 Forest Figsby's mother died at Hemmingford.Following this and financial embarrassment with the store, Mr.Figsby and his son Forest decided to move to Detroit.After being there a short while they moved on to Cleveland, Ohio.There Forest secured a job and worked on the side, studying accounting, which vocation was to later carry him far on the road to success.While at Cleveland, Ohio.he was married.After completing his course of study on the side he obtained a job with a large firm of auditors.It was not long before the officials of this large firm recognized that young Forest Figsby of Hemmingford was bril- \u2018llant and was bound to make a name for himself in his chosen vocation.Responsible position followed responsible position and Forest Figsby forged ahead.Forest Plgsby worked and worked hard.So hard did he work that after ten years in Cleveland his health failed and he had to rest for a period of time.Leaves Huntingdon As a Youth For Fame And Fortune Forest Figsby's Early Struggles Like A Horatio is Millionaire\u2014Has Never Forgotten His Birthplace Following this he went to Ossin- ing, N.Y.where he was with another firm of auditors.There he met with signal success in his work.But long continued hard work told on his health and today he is confined to his bed a great deal of the time with heart trouble.He has constant medical care and even when he goes to Florida for the winter he takes along with him his own doctor.Forest Figsby has a palatial home at Ossining, N.Y, which is said to have cost him one-quarter of a million dollars.The furnishings and fixtures in the building are said to have cost him another quarter of a milllon dollars.The grounds surrounding the home are exceptionally beautiful.He also has a beautiful summer home at Battle- boro, Vermont.Despite all this success, Forest Figsby has never forgotten the place of his birth, Hemmingford, nor his old friends there.He has made numerous donations to worthy causes in Hemmingford.Among them were $650.to the cemetery at Hem- mingford about five years ago and also $1,100 to, the Anglican parish hall.Besides these he has given to private individuals to an extent that will never be known.He has never forgotten Hemmingford.The love of his birthplace and the scenes of his boyhood will never be erased from his memory.It is about four years now since Forest Figsby has returned to Hem- mingford for a visit.But for his health he would never have gone this long without visiting his old home.Each time he came home he would take a world of pleasure out of visiting with the acquaint- paralyzed beneath a cloud of some sort.Tt appeared that Mrs Wife had suffered

Lacrosse Championship on Saturday, June 20, 1892.when they defeated Valleyfield at Valleyfield in a closely contested fixture.At the time.Huntingdon challenged Valleyfield for the championship of the district.and had to play their game in Valleyfield, due to the fact that a pennant had been granted by the then Lacrosse Association to Valleyfield, on the strength of their claim of being the only club belonging to the Association in the district.Whether or not the Lacrosse Association\u2019s action in granting a pennant and handing it over to a club who had not won anything, prompted Huntingdon to challenge these \u201cchampions\u201d.cannot be ascertained.Huntingdon was the only Lacrosse aggregation who dared challenge Valleyfield at the time.The several encounters which they had in those memorable days with the self-styled champions always ended in a fiasco, a memorable one was the occasion on which Huntingdon defeated Valleyfield for the Southwestern District Lacrosse League Championship.The players, it is recalled, left Huntingdon by special train to play Valleyfield.The visiting team was accompanied by 150 ardent supporters, among whom were found a large portion of ladies.They left Huntingdon at 2.30 o'clock and on arrival at Valleyfield went direct to the grounds.The historic game was scheduled to start at the arrival of the Hun- tingdon players on the grounds, but the captain of the Valleyfield team.unaware that the battle would start so soon, had gone out of the city on a fishing excursion and had to be brought back to the \u201cfight\u201d in a horse-drawn vehicle, Both teams hated very much to suffer defeat, but all the different elements were non-effective to turn the tide of war which was to ensue.Valleyfield and Huntingdon supporters were treated to knock-downs, and some of them had their skulls laid bare by clubs, but despite these tokens of good-will (?) both teams still persisted on winning the match During the first part of the game, Valleyfield greatly objected to the Huntingdon tactics.claiming the visitors were using the umpire as a foot-ball.The accounts of this game, are.in several instances, very contradictory.but it is a known fact that there was a great deal of dispute during the contest about the umpires, and two of them were forced to give up their positions during its progress.Following is a general account of the match: \u201cIt was about 3.40 pm.when Walsh and McPherson knelt for the draw, and soon after play started it appeared that it was going to be a hard fight, the teams being very evenly matched.At the start, however, the visitors were somewhat nervous but steadily improved, and before the end of the match were playing all around their opponents.\u201cIn the first game, play was very even from start to finish.The home team endeavoured to rush the play.but the steady work of the opposite defense held matters even.After 20 minutes of play, a side-shot struck in front of the goals and rolled through, the Huntingdon goalie being out of the nets.\u201cThe second game was the longest of the match, and it was here the visitors began to show their endurance, and were forcing the fight.Unfortunately, Charles Lamb of Huntingdon was injured during this game by a heavy body-check, and was compelled to retire for the match, McDonald of Valleyfield going off to even up.Shortly afterwards, J.C.McMillan, also of Hun- tingdon was objected to by the Val- leyfield captain, as they claimed that they had scored and did not award the game; he accordingly retired, and the referee appointed a On this occasion when the Huntingdon Gleaner celebrates its 75th Anniversary, Paul's Dry Cleaning of Malone, take much pleasure in extending their heartiest congratulations, PAUL'S DRY

the | spectators.Huntingdon was now i playing in a much better form, and | put the home team purely on the i defensive.Yet it was only a mater of a little time and Jos.Mc- Laughlin's hand went up for Hunt- ingdon, and ended the play.One of the players immediately ran up | and struck the umpire.This was soon followed by an attack by the crowd, who rushed on the field and attacked the umpire.and it was with some difficulty that he escaped without serious injury.\u201cThe goal was fairly taken, and he had no other course than to award it.He was threatened everything dreadful in the way of being mobbed, etc., but he could not be intimjdated, stating his decision was honest, and he would abide by it.The match ended in a row, and neither team cheered, and, in fact, it seemed as if such a thing as regulation Lacrosse was entirely forgot- en.\u201cDuring the excitement of this attack, Joe McLaughlin, cashier of the E.T.bank at Huntingdon, who was standing among the crowd.received a blow in the back of the head.cutting it for several inches, requiring it being stitched before leaving the premises.Seeing the state of affairs, and fearing injury.the boys were hurried to the dressing room, and preparations made for going to the train.Outside the gate of the grounds.another organized attack was made on the visitors.A gang of rowdies who were directed by men, who.from appearances, should ily walking have been gentlemen, made assaults 9 The first town league hockey ever to be formed in the town of Hunt- ingdon, according to the records, was in 1896, when the Academy, tl - Village team, and a club called the Young Men's Social Club divided their local strength into three different bodies.It is interesting to note that all the games played during that winter season did not differ much from the town league games as played locally of late years.There were arguments, fights, bad decisions, complaints, threats of disbanding, etc.but all went in order after the disputes had been thoroughly thrashed out and explained, and the league was a prosperous one.The following officers were chosen to represent each of the teams in 1896: Academy, H.Maclaren, W.Marshall and A.McNaughton: Y.MS.C.J.F.McGinnis, J.W.Duffy and Carson H.Burrows; Village, A.Burkham, Geo.McCallum and Jas.Duquette.Christmas Day, 1896.was the opening day in the local hockey league.The contestants were the Academy Club and the Village team.The latter team won the match.The games were not as numerous as nowadays, but the effort put forth in each of these contests necessita- Men's Felt Hats Cleaned.MALONE, N.Y.Records Facilitate Reviewing of Keen Games of Yesteryears The Gleaner is greatly indebted to Mr.Chas.H.Lamb for the useful information he so willingly contributed through old time sport records which greatly facilitated the writing of several of these old time outstanding sporting events which have taken place in the Chateauguay Valley, for a period of thirty years or more.Some photos taken in yesteryears of old timers were also secured from Mr.Lamb and they will surely interest and bring back many happy memories to the players on the winning teams as well as to the fans of those by-gone days.Mr.J.C.Boyd has also helped the Gleaner in informing the fyle searcher of what article he might be on the look-out for.Others have also lent a helping hand in one way or another towards making of this sport section one which should be of great interest to the average sport fan, on different parties who were quiet- from the grounds and not expecting anything of the kind.Four and five of this gang would suddenly attack, and before parties were aware, they received kicks and blows, which, in some cases were rather serious.In some cases, they struck \u201cthe wrong man,\u201d as they found when they were sent sprawling one after another.It was due to this, that there were not more people felt their blows; as would be expected where they received a warm reception, they immediately left, and it was only in cases when a Huntingdon man was alone, that he was attacked.The party were soon gathered together.and thus prevented any further injuries, They embarked for home, and were glad to escape with their lives.The trip was an eventful one in the history of the Huntingdon Lacrosse club, and one would not care to repeat it.\u201d Such was the game won by the Huntingdon Lacrosse club in the year 1892, against the powerful Valley- field aggregation.Even to this day.one can often hear fans who attended this highly exciting game played in the city of Salaberry of Valleyfield, comment on it and compare it to the fisticuffs displayed in the games played in recent years.(Continued on page 28) First Huntingdon Hockey League Was Formed in 1896

carry the players through their regular time on the ice.No substitutes were used at that time.The second game was played on January 14, 1897, between the Village team and the YM.8.C.when the Village added another victory to their credit.This match was played on the Ghateauguay River, as were all the other hockey battles, and was well attended.Following is a report of this fixture: \u201cThe match was a rough one, and it seems strange that young men, who have been companions since childhood, should let their ardor in play carry them so far as to slug each other with hockey sticks.Jimmy Duquette received two bad blows accidentally.He had two teeth knocked out, received a cut over an eye and bruises on the face.\u201d The Y.M.S.C.was eliminated from the league during the season, and the Village and Academy teams fought it out for supremacy in hockey in Huntingdon.However, the Village team was expelled from the league by the officials, when it interfered with a championship game, and it was decided that all matches played by them would be considered nul and void.The YMS.C.was ordered to play the Academy hockey team by the league, but they defaulted the game, and the Academy claimed the match and championship.Several town leagues have been formed since then, both in hockey and in softball and always proved successful.Crowds thronged either the rink or the ball grounds to cheer their favorite team to victory.The players\u2019 parents would bring their friends to these local contests, where excitement was at a high pitch at all times.Town leagues were again revived a decade or more ago, and for the first time since then, it did not operate in 1937.The local hockey fans thought it best to have only one senior team.The players who formed the first Huntingdon town league included: Academy: Jack Marshall, goal; J.Neville, point; A.McNaughton, cover: F.Hunter, R.Dalgleish, W.Marshall, H.Maclaren, forwards.Village, J.C.Boyd, goal: G.Cunningham, point; Wm.Hunter,

International Bowling Board, consisting of representatives from the Scottish, English, Welsh Associations and unanimously accepted.The British bowlers arrived in Canada.at Montreal, on July 28th, 1906, and left for Liverpool on September 8th.They visited the most important centres in all the different provinces as well as smaller localities.The city of Valleyfield, which had at that time a crack bowling team invited the British bowlers to journey to Valleyfield.The proposition was readily accepted and on Tuesday, July 31st, 1806, the British bowling team left Montreal for Valley- field to play the second match of their tour.Valleyfield was all bustled in animation.Barnum & Bailey's great show was in the town, and the Val- leyfield Cotton Co.Ltd.recognizing the importance of the event, had released their employees for the day.At that time the Company employed approximately 3,000 hands and to grant a holiday to such an important manufacturing concern was greatly appreciated by the British bowlers.The Britishers received a very cordial welcome from the crowd assembled at the station to meet them that morning.After a vigorous course of general hand shaking had been gone through, the visitors were at once conducted to the Valleyfield bowling greens.At that time the Valleyfield Bowling Club was formed wholly of operatives in the service of the Cotton Co.Furthermore,

British bowlers stated that the turfs were like the Old Country greens and that they felt at home on them.The match itself was in favor of the Britons who manifested their superiority from the start and increased their lead as the match progressed.A notable fact in this game was the disparity between the teams as far as character was concerned; this did not, however, diminish the interest in the game to any extent.The visitors won all the six rinks played and led in the aggregate t scores by 87 points.The results were as follows: VALLEYFIELD BRITONS R.Pomfrey E.Pickard Wm.Gall T.Jeffrey

the visitors were shown around the huge building of the Cotton Co.A pleasing ceremony which took place during the day was the presentation to the visitor, of a dress length composed of feb- ric woven at the mill.The bowlers expressed their very hearty appreciation of the manner in which they had been received in the little city of Valleyfield.The British bowlers had a hearty sendoff by the Valleyfield bowlers and they were loud in their praise of the hospitality of which they had been the recipients.Although the locals were not in the same class of bowlers as their opponents from over the sea, their play elicited much praise from the visitors, and several of the ends were closely contested.The British bowlers returned to Montreal the same evening.ers.J rd in to Valleyfield,

evidenced by Lhe flags for which the teams played.Balls and other min- fature trophies would also be put up for competition and these small tokens would draw fans from far and near to cheer their

also mentioned that the year Huntingdon entered for the first time in a Lacrosse league, the stars of Ottawn, Brockville and Valley- field had an entry In those days, teams coming from centres as well known ns Oftawa, were reputed the \u201cmost dangerous opponents.Consequently, Huntingdon had to make the necessary arrangements to put up a team which would be able to show advantageously.The team practiced nightly on this occaslon, \u2018and the tactics and work put forth in these practees resulted In a | chaumplonshtp Huntingdon had all the support they required in those days, although their financial standing shortly before their final league games were played, did not, show to rood advantage When the directors of the Hunt- ingdon Lacrosse team would call their players for a practice, practically the whole town of Hunting- don would assemble at the Lacrosse field, which was situated at the west side of the present casein factory on Lorne avenue.The spectators would practice with the players, give them ndvice, show them their mistakes, taking avid interest In every move of the game.Among the best players ever to piny Lacrosse for the Huntingdon team in those days were:

the Valleyfield men so weil that they had little chance to score on the close range.Periods one Cappiello and Small proved to be an almost Impenetrable defense.Eddie being able to get away with the

into a four-team league, Huntingdon Chateaugay which was called the Internationally 6 cs McKevitt Baseball league.The teams which Oser : 3b.Gallagher formed this league were Brainards- »p, ce,

Doyle ' lf.Dupree that aggregation in regards to the | Buell, c \u2019 Rourke eligibility of certain players brought Sauve, rf Meagher zbout Burke's refusal to enter.At the beginning of the season of 1923 the teams played amateur baseball but throughout the season each team gradually strengthened to such an extent, that by the end of the regular schedule the Internationai Baseball League had turned into a semi-professional league.One of the most active managers ever to direct a Huntingdon team was the late FF.H.Maclaren, whose name was on the lips of one and all during that year and all the vears in which he was connected with a Huntingdon team.His strategic measures in offering class A ball to Huntingdon fans in all league and exhibition games made him a renowned figure in local baseball circles.Huntingdon won its first International Baseball League game front Ellenburg when Bush shut out El- lenburg 9 to 0 on Thursday.May 24, 1923.The Huntingdon team on this occasion was composed of the following players: G.O'Connor, cf; Chambers.r.f.; Oser, 3b.; Gates.1b.: D.Elder.c.: C.Elder.2b; Rowat,11.; Bush, p.; Ross, ss.From then on, all four teams in this league began importing players.which greatly strengthened these aggregations.From the first week in July until the last game of the regular schedule in the second week of September, all games were very closely contested, the winning team scoring a victory by a very low margin.When Huntingdon played Brainardsville on Monday.July 1st, 1923, the Huntingdon team had started to add stronger players to their line-up.Bissonnette was playing at shortstop, Oser at 3rd base.with Brainardsville also making additions to its team.The addition of these imported players to each team was a big expense, but Manager Maclaren received the wholehearted support of the Huntingdon fans.The decisive week of the baseball season for 1923 was on during the first week of September.when Cha- teauguay had a lead of a fraction of a game over Huntingdon, but this lead was so slight that a victory for either of these teams would mean leadership of the league.Huntingdon had their complete semi-professional team lined-up for the championship game against Chateaugay which was played at the Huntingdon Fair grounds on Thursday, Sept.6.1923 on the first day of Huntingdon Fair.Chateaugay clinched the cham- Chateaugay subs: Martin, Pp.Huntingdon subs: Bush, p.The umpires for this championship game were McKenna and Jones.After this victory of Chateaugay over Huntingdon, the local team played a few exhibition games that year.but due to the fact that a semi-professional team could not be financially supported by Hunting- don, the organizers were forced to drop the semi-pro players who had joined the local team that year.In 1924 amateur baseball again resumed when games surrounding towns were played.At the time of Huntingdon's centenary in 1925, the sport fans in Huntingdon and vicinity asked that Huntingdon present them again with semi-professional baseball.Harold MacLaren, who was still active in this sport.asked the organizers of the Centenary to permit him to line up a semi-professional team to play with Malone, Lyon Mountain and Chateaugay.He was granted the privilege, and the class \u201cA\u201d bail which was played at the Hunting- don Fair Grounds on August 5, 6 an: 7.1925, was greatly enjoyed by the thousands who attended Hunting- don's Centenary.On Wednesday, Aug.5.Lyon Mountain met Malone and en the second day Huntingdon faced the powerful Chateaugay nine.cup donated by the late Lord Athol- stan was put up for competition and was given to the winner series.Malone and Chateaugay won their respective games between Lyon Mountain and Huntingdon, and Chateaugay defeated Malone in the final game played on Aug.7.the score being 17 to 10.The beautiful trophy was presented the winners by the then Mayor of Huntingdon, Mr.D.J.O'Connor.Later baseball was played on a minor scale with teams from the was with surrounding towns and although it never announced a financial success the fans were treated to some closely fought games.In 1932 Huntingdon imported one of Montreal's outstanding amateur baseball pitchers to help them win their exhibition game.Louis Lari- viere came to Huntingdon in August 1932, and his outstanding mound performance made him the idol of Huntingdon fans.Good crowds attended each fixture played here and several accompanied the locals when they played outside exhibition games.The last baseball game in 1932 was played on Sunday, Oct.2, when Bea- pionship in a game crammed with | vers lost an exhibition game played thrills, by the score of 6 to 5.Un- | doubtedly the largest crowd that ever witnessed a baseball game in Huntingdon in those days.was around the diamond.and when the two thousand fans got excited the snap was in the game.Lefty Martin started off in the box for Chateaugay, but was no .puzzle to the locals.They hit him hard and he was generous in his passes.He retired in the fifth, and Bishop of the Malone Centrals took his place.He was good, and the locals were unable to do much with his stuff, although he too was wild.Ubald Rose, who is today an outstanding baseball organizer in the Province, started on the mound for Huntingdon and pitched well for the first couple of innings, but once he was solved, the Chateaugay batters connected in bunches, and he had to retire in favor of Pete Bush, when the score stood 5 all.Chateaguay got the winning run across home plate in this, the 5th inning, when a throw was drawn to second with a man on third.The throw to second was bad, and the relay to the plate was wide.The balance of the game, Bush was in perfect order.In the 5th, there was trouble when a free-for-all took place between Miller of Huntingdon and a spectator from Malone.The crowd swarmed on the diamond when the quick- tempered Miller started hitting the apparently troublesome spectator.It took some time to get the diamond cleared, but once cleared, the crowd gave no further trouble.As stated above, both teams had many importations.Huntingdon started with Gus O'Connor as the only genuine Huntingdon man on the field, although the majority of the others had played fairly regularly with the Huntingdon team that season, Chateaugay was in the same boat, Bill Dupree in left field and with a score of 8-0.Huntingdon Had Smart Baseball Team in 1910 Although the Beaver baseball nine won championship of the local league in 1910, Hunting- don's baseball team always showed to advantage.They were all boys from Huntingdon and most of them can be seen in their own home town today.They are, front row, \u201d~\u201d \u2014\u2014 = patronage in the future.Phone

GOODS GAS & OILS - TIRES - HARDWARE | This successful baseball season of 1932 prompted several parties in- J , terested in local sports to organize a class \u201cA\u201d ball team for 1933 and the news was then received with general enthusiasm, Huntingdon played in the Northern New York Baseball League.which is still today one of the out- \u2018standing loops in the state of New York.That meant that the Hun- tingdon club had to cope with the best semi-professional teams and due to this fact the directors of the local team had to line up the best amateur and semi-professional players from Montreal and neighbouring cities.The teams entered in this loop in 1933 included: Chateaugay, Lyon Mountain, Canton, Massena, Og- densburg, Moira, Tupper Lake, Malone and Huntingdon.As many will recall, this proved to be only a venture, as Huntingdon had to retire from the league due to financial conditions after only a few weeks play.and again resort to amateur baseball.Softball was then becoming very popular in this locality, and the fans seemed to favor it to America's national game, baseball.However.baseball was played off and on later and in 1937 the only baseball games witnessed were during the Hunting- don Old Home week.in August.Huntingdon's 1933 semi-profes- sional ball team included the following players: Lyle Elder.Ernst.Marchand, Dubé, Corey, Major.Al- lister Watson.Gus

Government, the late W.S.Maclaren was named the local \u2018Liberal candidate for the House of Commons.In 1900, Mr.Maclaren was opposed by R.N.Walsh, D.Vs., Maclaren winning the election by a close majority of 24 votes.At the succeeding election, held in 1904, R.N.Walsh, D.Vs.defeated W.S.Maclaren by 143 votes.It was in 1908 that the late Hon.| James A.Robb was elected the Federal representative for Huntingdon County, defeating R.N.Walsh, D.Vs.Mr.Robb was a back bencher for several years at Ottawa but Laurier saw in Robb a man of unusual ability and he was duly made the Liberal Whip.In due course of time he was taken into the cabinet as Minister of Trade and Commerce, to Minister of Immigration later Dr.J.C.Moore and Colonization and then to the high post as Minister of Finance.The popular \u201cRobb Budgets\u201d being famous for their reduction of taxes, lowering the duties and healthy surpluses.Mr.Robb represented this constituency, which was united with Chateauguay County in 1911 from the year 1908 until his death in 1929.The latter years of his life were his crowning years of glory.Following the death of Mr.Robb, D.J.O'Connor was accorded an ac- \u201cclamation dredged

Late Frank A.Blair, Died May 5, 1937, aged 67 years.Born in Franklin on Sept.15, 1869.and after attending the Franklin Stone school, worked as a clerk at a line store.Following this he attended the Huntingdon Academy.He started out in life with the intention of going to British Columbia but when he reached Chicago he ran out of funds.so started in on the building trade.When in Chicago he entered the employ of Foley Company who were manufacturing chemists.As a salesman for the drug company he travelled on horseback through most of the Western United States.He travelled over plains and mountains on horseback or in carriage.He possessed an inordinate capacity for work when he entered the drug business in 1896.He became actively connected with the Proprietary Association in 1802 and for the last twenty-two years of his life he was the President of this Association.When he went to New York he was made vice-president of the Centaur Company, which position he retained for the last 13 years of his life.The Centaur Company manufacture Castoria and Z.B.T.Baby Powder.Mr.Blair was a leader in the packaged machine industry for more than thirty-years.His indefatigable devotion to the problems of the industry and his tireless participation in every phase of its workings won for him the place of dean of the proprietary medicine industry.Frank Blair was a worthy son of Franklin and the County of Hun- tingdon.Justice J.J.Maclaren Justice John J.Maclaren died in Toronto on July 3rd, 1926.He was a man held in high respect by the.» Lh ! THE LATE JUSTICE MacLAREN .\u2018 Bar and was a very dear and highly regarded man in Huntingdon.Sixty, vears previous to his death he was made principal of the Academy and the forward steps he promoted in the mode of education makes that he may reasonably be styled the first progressive teacher of the old stone school of Huntingdon Academy After teaching in Huntingdon he practiced law and gained an enviable reputation in his native province and established his future in the province of Ontario.During his vears at the Bar in Quebec Mr.Mac- laren pled many leading cases.one in fact involving this newspaper.During the course of an election campaign exception was taken to an editorinl criticism of the activities of the Montreal Star.Robert Sellar was arrested.but the case was disposed of in Vallevfield without the jury being called upon to give a verdic*.Mr.Maclaren non-suiting the complainant on a question of law, and since that day all criminal libel suits in Canada have been governed by :he ruling that the prisoner at the har must be identified as the pub- jisher and printer of the article complained of.One of the notable features of his long life is that when over eighty vear of age he was elected world president of the International Sunday School Union.He served as secretary to the British and American inint commission on Hudson's Bay claims, 1867-69, and was a member of the commission on the code of civil procedure in Quebec in 1887.He was a senator of the Univer- sitv of Toronto, a Senator of Wesle- van Theological College, Montreal and Vice-Chancellor of Victoria: University.Toronto: an honorar: member of Faculty of Law of the University of Toronto.and a trustee of Upper Canada College.In addi- | tion he was a member of the executive of the Methodist General Mission Board.an officer of the Lax - men\u2019s Missionary Movement and a member of the Methodist Church Union Committee.Bir John Rose.Q.C.J.P.M.P., for | Huntingdon, John Rose was

who declined it, whereupon Sir Francis Hincks replaced Mr.Rose.In the autumn of 1869 Mr.Rose took up his residence permanently in London and in 1870 Lord Granville wrote to Sir John Macdonald of him as follows: \u201cThe presence of Sir John Rose (Mr.Rose had by that time been knighted), here has been of great use and comfort to me.It is impossible to have an abler or: more pleasant man with whom to transact business.\u201d While in Montreal Mr.Rose resided on Simpson Street.| To Mr.Rose was given the charge of all the main arrangements of the tour of HR.H., the Prince of Wales in 1860 and elicited the commendations of the Royal Party and of the British.Canadian and American press of that time.The Royal Party averaged from 250 to 300 persons and travelled on an average of over 100 miles a day.by rail.horses.| steamers, carriages and canoes.Every detail was perfectly and assiduously arranged by Mr.Rose.To quote from a newspaper of that time: \u201cThere was great shaking of hands as His Royal Highness.the Duke of Newcastle, and all the suite took a kindly leave of Mr.Rose, with the last state visit to the last Canadian city.It was with a feel- Party bade adieu to one who had su ably and so successfully ministered to the comfort of their tour throughout.\u201d Mr.Rose has been described as having been gifted with a courteous and pleasant manner.a singularly happy disposition and affectionate nature which made him a universal favorite and had won for him a high place in the regard and esteem of: such men as Sir John Macdonald \u2018 who on several occasions spoke and wrote of the great ability and re-! markable qualities of Mr.Rose.| Another book has described Mr.| Rose as being very industrious.giv- ! ing minute care to details and hav-, ing started life in a humble way, overcame many obstacles by hard, \u201cwork and assiduity.By sheer energy | and ability he acquired a large and lucrative law practice in Montreal, ! wealth and distinction.He is said to have done a great deal of Government work before the Courts and.professional and honest.His inte- gritv in private or public life was, never questioned.| He was a tall.commanding figure.; possessed of excellent natural abili-| ties, a good speaker and debater.and good | delivery.He impressed his hearers, with the full importance of the subject which he discussed.Mr.Rose became identified with an American Banking House and died in London, England.several \u2018Years after having taken up per- | manent residence there.Alexander McDougall From the Gleaner files of February 16.1911 we note by an

the farm now occupied by Mr.Roy Biggar.Attended the Huntingdon Academy.Taught for six months in Dundee on an elementary diploma.Later she received a Model Diploma in 1888 from the Board of School Examiners and then taught around Montreal until marriage on September 12.1894.Mrs.Wilson is widely known amongst the various organizations of Women across Canada, and particularly so in the Province of Quebec.She has held the office of Vice-President for the Women's Missionary Society for a term in this district.Was elected president of the Provincial Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union in 1925 and held that office until two vears ago when obliged to resign due to ill health.She was also one of the Vice-Presidents of the National Women's Christian Temperance Un- lion.Holding such important offices as Mrs.Wilson has done proves that she has ability to organize and enlist the co-operation of other women.No small achievement.one must admit.for year after year she accomplished such co-operation and the general admiration of all.In religion Mrs.Wilson is a member of the United Church and within the Athelstan congregation Mrs.Wilson is found to be a very active worker and

claims.He was first elected to the House | of Commons, Ottawa, at the general elections in 1867.for county of Hun- tingdon.and in November of that year replaced Sir Alexander T.Gait as Minister of Finance.In the by- election, caused by his appointment he was elected by acclamation.He had been a delegate to England during the sitting of the Colonial ; Conference in London in 1867.{ It has been

respects the equal of the late occupant of that office.\" He was sworn Lee she Privy Council in November Mr.Rose resigned his office in stock which more than doubled his capital.Whilst spoken of as a rich man, he was only so comparatively.The general estimate that he was worth $75.000 is probably about right.He differed from many in easy circumstances in that he tried to do good with the means at his disposal.As St.Paul's Church, Ormstown had no accomodation for Sunday School classes and social gatherings he planned raising a hall that would | serve such purposes and at the same time perpetuate the name McDou- gall.His brother Daniel aided in this undertaking and the clock in St.Paul's church also stands as a memorial to these brothers.Before his death he bestowed gifts of $500 to each of his 36 nephews and nieces.He was an unassuming man of quiet ways and few words, yet a shrewd observer and intelligent.He was a type of solid farmers who have given Chateauguay county a

D.D.Died at Age of 103 Canada's oldest minister, the Rev.Dr.James Patterson died in his 103rd year in Montreal, in April 1932.He spent 60 years in the work of active ministry in the Presbyterian Church.For 24 years he was the Minister of the Hemmingford Presbyterian Church.Though Mr.Patterson lived many years and died in Montreal interment was made in the Hemmingford Cemetery.Dr.Patterson was born in Scotland and his wife was Miss Rosina, daughter of F.W.Shirriff of Hun- tingdon.Dr.Patterson was particularly noted for his church work and his untiring efforts put forth for his fellowmen.Up to the very latter days of his life he exemplified a keen interest in the Fresh Air Home at Chambly, thé Society for the Protection of Women and Children, and the Old Folks' Home, Prisoners\u2019 Aid Society and other public charities.| tek until 1832.Therefore during his many years of faithful service, it can be truthfully said, he saw many come into the world, and knew the various families from one generation to another.It can be said he knew more about the health and heredity of families, much better than the families themselves, for he had cared for several generations.He was a member of the District Medical Society; local health officer and physician for the Grand Trunk and later C.N.R.employees; examiner for the I.OF.and many insurance companies, He is also a member of the McGill Graduate and Medico-Chirurgical Societies of Montreal.Dr.J.C.Shanks, Toronto In gathering data pertaining to people who have gained fame, reputation and been of unusual import-| prominently identified

business.However.we have learned from Dr.Shanks that when he was working as a machinist in 1871 he personally erected the first power press in the Gleaner office.This press replaced the \u201cWashington Hand Press\u201d.The Washington Hand Press is still in use as a proof press, whilst the base of the original power press and bed is now used as an imposing stone.Throughout Dr.Shanks\u2019 many years' residence at Howick, his weekly news letters appeared in the Gleaner.Dr.Shanks graduated from Hunt- ingdon Academy in 1869 and became a machinist in the Gillis & Boyd machine shops where he remained for three years.For two vears he worked with the Gilbert's Machine Engine Company on the Lachine Canal.where James How- den was foreman and James King.chief draughtsman.These two men came from St.Louis de Gonzague.Dr.Shanks was with Howden when the side wheeler beam engine was installed in the \u201cSt.Francis\u201d.It was this boat that was built to

nearly 80 years, Present Huntingdon County Surveyed In 1788 The necessity of providing for the soldiers who had served in the American War first suggested the propriety of surveying the tract of land between the French seignories of Chateaugüay and Beau- harnois and the United States border and dividing it into townships.This was done by Mr.Chewett, deputy-surveyor general in 1788-89, when he defined the boundaries of the non-fief land west of the Richelieu, and which constitutes the present county of Huntingdon, its singular shape arising from its being formed of the gores left after

his mark in the world away from Huntingdon, when severe sickness of anyone in Huntingdon occurred, thoughts turned to Dr.Elder when consultations were desired or the services of an expert surgeon.It was the same Dr.Elder who first introduced hockey to Hun- tingdon and the early records in sport show that he was a great lacrosse player.When the late Robert Sellar was married on a Dominion Day.Dr.Elder was in attendance and that afternoon Hun- tingdon was to play Ormstown a game of lacrosse.The game was in 1902.He again married in 1920 Mrs.Mary Elizabeth Wattie, formerly of Maple Bay,

Through teaching.Mr.Crutch- field has carved out a career of Principalships that will make him go down in history as a worthy son of Huntingdon Academy and his Principal Caleb Holiday.He first taught school at Buckingham, in 1906-07.where he taught on a one year permit.He was principal of Sutton High School 1908-10, Knowl- ton 1910-12, Huntingdon 1912-18, Longueuil 1918-20.and acting as principal

education through travel as well as from the text books.Mr.Crutch- field was the first president of the Canadian Club of Shawinigan Falls.Mr.Crutchfield is married, has a family of two sons, Nelson and Gordon who are known across Canada as outstanding hockey and football players.Mr.Crutchfield was the recipient of a Coronation Medal on May 12.1937.MR.C.E.PETCH C.E.Petch Who has been the Dominion Government Entomologist for the Province of Quebec for the past twenty- five years has now been made a Senior Assistant Agricultural Scientist.In addition to the province of Quebec, he will in future look after the work in the province of Ontario as far west as Kingston.Besides being an entomologist he operates a large orchard and in this way is able to demonstrate to or- chardists what can be accomplished in the growing of fine apples.At Hemmingford.a cold storage plant has been built largely through the energetic efforts of Mr.Petch.From 1905-1910, he set up some long distance running records around Toronto.which stand to this day.Marathon races were then a much more popular form of sport than now and his services were much in demand in Canada and the United States.In the Boston Marathon in 1807, Tom Longboat, one of the greatest runners of all time.passed Petch near the end of the race.It was a 26-mile course and Petch was far in the lead until the 23rd mile, when Longboat passed him and went on to win.In carrying out his work at Hem- mingford Mr.Petch has looked after the breeding of thousands of parasites for shipment to Australia and New Zealand to assist in controlling some of their insect pests.Annually, he judges fruit at several exhibitions and is a keen enthusiast in growing flowers and studying their enemies.J.Milton McClatchie, Born April 29, 1884

absolute alcohol.Adulterated and smuggled, it may be anything from a mixture of grain alcohol and tap water to a deadly.blinding poison.Tens of thousands of Canadians.mostly folks living in Quebec.Ontario and the Middle West, consume hundreds of thousands of gallons of alky.in one form or another.every year.They take it raw.or with water.or with water and a dash of lemon.with ginger ale

excise tax on legal alcohol.Provincial governments rv to limit its free sale.requiring special permits for its purchase.or boosting retail prices to levels close to those of more orthodox alcoholic beverages.A gallon of sixty over- proof alky will cost around $12.00 in provincial liquor dispensaries Twenty ounces of sixty-five over- proof arnund $2.00: and these are high prices for alky.which can be manufactured at a basic cost as low as thirty-nine cents a gallon.So broad a price spread cannot hut be attractive to the alky racketeer.who comes into the picture at this point either roaring over the border a- seventy-five miles an hour behind the wheel of a specially constructed automobile.or sitting safely at a distant strategic point as a shrewd business man backing a $50.000 illicit still.Because smuggling is a federal matter, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are charged with the responsibility for holding in check the importation and manufacture of illegal alcohol.The records show that the Preventive Division of the RC.M.P.is doing a good job of work.but the traffic goes on, just the same.In the fiscal year ending March 31, 1937.there were 533 seizures of illicit stills, 785 seizures of illegal alcohol, and eighty-nine alky runners\u2019 automobiles were confiscated.In the past twelve months.the haul of stills fell off considerably but there were 141 more alky seizures than in the previous year.and the number of automobiles gathered in was only eight less.Business conditions in this outlawed industry fluctuate.When things get too hot along the border, illicit still crops up all over the country.the border through the area around Sherbrooke.| Mounted Police working these! districts do not have an easy time of : it.Between Huntingdon and Bed- ford.Que.on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain, a distance of approximately one hundred miles of border country.there are something like twenty-four roads crossing the line from the United States into Canada.on which no Canadian cus- | toms stations are established.All these highways have to be conti- _nually guarded by R.CM.P.patrols.\u2018and in addition, there are a number ; \u201cof bush roads.passable in dry, weather.Stationed in this area are seven detachments of Royal Canadian | Mounted Police, each detachment.consisting of two men and one car.| a total of fourteen men and seven | cars.On paper this might seem suf- After the stills have been discovered.raided and destroyed.the alky crews take to the roads again.Alcohol Fronts In Canada There are three main areas in Canada where the illegal alcohol industry flourishes.The Montreal district, attacked from the other side of the American border by runners operating out of New York State and Vermont.the Toronto- Hamilton-Windsor area.and Winnipeg.Most of the seizures made by the Mounties are reported from one or another of these districts, and Montreal seems to have the doubtful honor of being the most important.A glance at the map shows that this is a natural consequence of that city's geographical situation.Not only is Montreal easy of access from New York and Vermont.but it affords every facility.by road.rail, or water.for distribution to the ultimate consumer throughout Quebec, in Eastern Ontario.and in the northern areas of both provinces.Illicit still seizures in the Montreal district numbered thirty- eight for the fiscal year of 1937.and thirty-seven for 1938.Seizures of illegal alcohol in this district were the smugglers may use any one of the roads, and at any hour of the day or night.it is obvious that the successful patrol involves a task of no small order.A comparison of the number of men on patrol on the United States Smugglers Use Old Covered Bridge - et = eue = = A wl + covered bridge at

agains® fifteen for the year previous.There is considerable significance in the fact that.out of eighty-one alcohol running automobiles captured by the Preventive Service in the 1938 fiscal year, in the entire Dominion, thirty- six or almest half the crop.were confiscated in the Montreal area.Alky From Northern New York Albany.capital city of the State of New York is an important center for the manufacture of alcohol smuggled into Canada and distributed through Montreal but there are alky plants too.in other towns situated conveniently in upper and middle New York.Practically all the New York alcohol comes in over roads located between Huntingdon, Que.and Lake Champlain.The Vermont product finds its way across side of the line.with the number available on the Canadian side, serves to illustrate the point.Along a twenty-five mile frontier the Canadian border is patrolled by two R.CM.P.officers, with one car.The same frontier on the American side is patrolled by six Customs patrol men with three cars and six Immigration patrol men with three cars.The American patrol outnumbers the Canadian by twelve men to two, and six cars to one.The Fighting Mounties Outnumbered as they are, the men of the Preventive Service fight a perpetual battle of wits with, the alky gangs.Your alky runner is not often a mental giant, but he is reckless.When caught, he usually turns out to be a spineless individual, with a broad yellow streak, who will whine and cringe, but he has been schooled to a certain dar- ran \u201cAlky\u201d Cars Converge on Montreal at the Mercier Bridge I he s Y nr

Canadians, or ex-Canadians living in the States.They have one important item in common.They know every inch of the roads they travel.The smugglers take big risks.They have to.If they are caught, fines are stiff, with a fair chance of a jail sentence on top.Some of the more greatly daring have been known to roar right through Canadian Customs stations at seventy or eighty miles an hour.Here is a case history taken from the annual report of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 1937.\u201cIn the case of one smuggler by the name of Joseph Messier, we were able to lay nine different charges to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to fines totalling $1.600.which fines were paid.In addition his load of alcohol and a new car were confiscated.Bootleggers of the type of Messier are very expert drivers and travel in the latest model Ford cars, which are especially sprung to take loads of from 150 to 200 gallons.These men will take any risk and usually travel at the rate of from sixty to seventy miles an hour even if they are not being chased.\u201d Once caught an alky runner is unlikely to take a chance on a second capture.He is glad to pay his fine and get out of Canada as fast as possible, because a second conviction means a jail sentence without the option of a fine.Once in a while the Mounties will land a man they know to be a Big Shot, but most of the automobile smugglers are merely employes of some higher-up racketeer, who pays them anywhere from $25 up to drive a load fifty miles into Montreal.The Mounties have their own name for these chaps.They call them monkeys.Spotters Aid Smugglers The alky runners use spotters ex- I tensively to keep them informed of \"the probable movements of i R.C.M.P.patrols.the They are cagey about the men they select for this nefarious employment.since they have to be certain that their hired spies will not right-about-face and squeal on the smugglers.In most instances they depend upon the creed of the racketeer everywhere.Money talks.Once they hâve located a likely spotter on the Canadian side of the border they hold out to him the lure of easy money.Each time he answers a telephone \"call he is to get a ten spot for his trouble.When the call comes he simply has to tell the man at the other end of the line whether or not the Preventive patrol is operating in his neighborhood.If the answer is \u201cNo\u201d it will not be long before a highpowered car is thundering along! the highway with its 200 gallon load of illicit alky.bound for Mont- eal.Automobiles used by alcohol runners go through all sorts of reconstruction.in addition to the ficient.but when one considers that ! special springing noted in the R.C.| M.P.report.A common trick is to | remove the rear seat from a sedah to accommodate the cans, pack them snugly.and cover the whole with a black tarpaulin.Cans may be of two and a half or five gallon cape- city.but the five gallon can is usual \"in highway smuggling.The smaller size is easier to handle when power boats are used.Alky runners prefer to attempt the border crossing between the hours of three and seven in the morning.and most of ' the Preventive patrol work is done | after midnight.Experience has taught the Moun- { ties quickly to mark down a smuggler's car.They get suspicious of automobiles travelling at high speeds over back roads.Heavily loaded, the alky car rides low and develops a wide sway, especially on | the curves.The drivers themselves are, after a time, easily recogniz- Prison men usually are.Most of the illicit alcohol brought into Canada from the United States travels by automobile.Some vears ago airplanes were used extensively, but a close watch on possible landing fields by the Mounties, and the difficulty of getting hold of pilots * willing to risk their lives and their licenses in the racket have combined to eliminate this method as impracticable.At times the railroads have been fooled into transporting alky over their lines in oil tanks for which fraudulent bills of lading were supplied.but a couple of seizures and a flock of heavy fines stopped that cumbersome and dangerous method.The business is seasonal, and right now will soon be at its peak.Smugglers are now preparing to supply their large Christmas trade.Onlv hard winter that closes the side roads to traffic can halt it completely.From spring until late fall there is a more or less continuous flow.Combative Means of R.C.M.P.R.C.M.P.patrols have developed considerable cunning of their own to combat the alky runners, and some of their methods are, of necessity, pretty drastic.Gun fights are not uncommon, when some desperate smuggler defies orders to halt, with the Mounties shooting the tires off the speeding alky carrier, There have been casualties on both sides.Pete Colombe of Platts- burg, NY.an alky driver, was shot in the leg after he had driven his car full speed at a group of R.C.M.P.officers who had barred his progress.Corporal J.W.Furlong, of St.Jean, Que.was knocked down and injured, but Colombe's car turned turtle and the smuggler was caught and convicted.Constable Dubard, of Lacolle.Que.was hit by an alky car and suffered three fractured ribs.That one got away.Last October a smuggler named Boardway was shot and severely wounded by Constable Maloney of Clarenceville, Que.as he tried to run through an R.C.M.P.blockade on a New York-Montreal highway.Collisions between Police cars and smugglers\u2019 automobiles are not infrequent.After several experiments with road blocking devices, the R.CM.P.patrols have developed an effective method which is successful, nine [times out of ten.They call it spiking.Into a heavy plank they drive a number of thick, sharp pointed spikes.At the approach of a car known to be carrying alky, the Police car is drawn up on one side of the crown of the road.Across the open side the spiked plank is the police command to pull up, well tempt to make a break for it.he has to drive over the sharp points of the exposed spikes, when he is certain to puncture all four tires.He cannot go very far in safety.running on the rims.A spiked board is six inches wide and the spikes are three inches long.One R.CM.P.legend has it that the idea was developed from a study of pictures of Indian fakirs, lying on similarly spiked boards to demonstrate their immunity to pain.Wherever it came from the spikes have proved an effective deterrent to desperate alky runners attempting to escape from a police trap at! seventy-five miles an hour.As a defense against the spike- board trap, some of the more daring runners have had recourse to a sensationally daring driving manoeuvre, occasionally successful, but always attempted at the risk of the driver's life.Once they recognize the danger ahead of them\u2014as they often do\u2014they make a quick turnabout and head back for the border.On a gravel road, at a speed of sixty miles an hour, this bit of trickery calls for plenty of nerve, but the alky drivers attempt it.and sometimes they get away with it.A sudden application of the brakes will swing the heavily loaded car completely around in a wide skid, so that it faces toward the border.With the engine in second and the motor racing, they are ready for a quick pick-up at around forty miles an hour.sufficient speed to give them a fair start on the Mounties.Smugglers Use Bribery The alky runners do not hesitate | to resort to bribery and threats in protection of their trade.It is common knowledge among the patrols that farmers on both sides of the border assist the smugglers in devious ways in return for either money or protection.The 1937 report quoted previously states that: \u2018The bootleggers are also greatly assisted by local farmers who will keep them advised of the movements of our patrols, and who will allow them to hide their cars in their barns.\u201d It would not be fair to blame the conniving agriculturalists too severely.The attraction of easy money is in many cases of less concern to them than the threats of damage to their property, crops, and live stock should they refuse co-operation.It often happens that officers of the Preventive service will approach a border country farmer known to be assisting alky runners, with an offer of payment for information concerning their movements.In some cases as high as twenty-five per cent of the fine has been offered.The reply is almost always the same: \u201cD'you think I want my barns burned?\u201d There can be no such thing as a stable price for smuggled alcohol, and the comparative success or failure of the Preventive Service's efforts to smother the traffic is at all times a powerful factor.Two years ago, at the beginning of the summer of 1936.the police report says, the bootleggers were having the best of the struggle for a time.Two and a half gallon cans of illicit alcohol Wednesday, September 21st, 1938 Where All Roads Lead to Montreal Between Huntingdon and Bedford, a approximately twenty-four roads crossing the border on which ne Can ed.This means a big job for the Writer of Article GEORGE L.ELLIS, News Editor of the Huntingdon Gleaner.were then selling in Quebec for $12.00.or about five dollars a gallon.Intensive efforts by the Mounties cut down the supply drastically.and before the summer was over the price had risen to between eighteen and twenty dollars a can, or eight dollars a gallon; but even at \u201cmounties\u201d to attend to.that figure, there is plenty of room for a profit to the alky racketeer, since legal alcohol is priced in the liquor stores at something like $12.00 a gallon, which would make it $30.00 for a two and a half gallon can.There is no rest for the Preventive Service.When they are not run- ring down alky smugglers who shoot the stuff across the border they have to hunt out illicit stills, which have a habit of cropping up in the most unlikely places, some of them large, well organized alcohol plants of commercial proportions.In April of this year the Mounties seized and destroyed a still with a capacity of 500 gallons in the rear of a bakery in Rosemount.an industrial-residen- tial suburb of Montreal.The equipment and construction cost of such a plant runs to around $50.000, a considerable investment in a risky.illegal enterprise, but the police figure that a still of that size would pay for itself in a month's operation.In the Montreal area other equally astonishing evidences of the huge proportions to which this traffic has grown have been uncovered during the last year.One illicit still, running full blast, was found in\u2019 a vacant house at Montreal West, a high class residential district where most of the people own their own homes.Another was discovered in Outremont, another residential suburb.That one was disguised as a lumber yard, with a front office, stacks of lumber drying out and a big sign across the front.In and around Montreal other important still seizures have been made at Pont David, Ville LaSalle, on Clarke street, and at Ste.Agathe and Ste.Sophie in the Laurentians.Most of the alky sold in the middle west is either made in or smuggled through Winnipeg.A few months ago the R.C.M.P.raided the premises known as the Blue Ribbon Oil Refining Company in that city.and demolished another $50,000 alky plant.Another one, with a capacity of 1,000 gallons daily was found in a grain elevator.In addition to these large scale operations dozens of illicit stills are discovered and distance of about one hundred miles of border country, there are adian customs stations are establish- demolished every month, hidden in basements, outhouses and barns; but these are comparatively small potatoes.R.C.M.P.Do Excellent Work .The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have every reason to be proud of their record of alcohol and still seizures since they took over the duties of the Preventive Service four years ago.Their higher officers are not so well pleased with their record of convictions.There can be no doubt that the alky business in Canada is a highly organized racket, and there can be no doubt that it is being financed and controlled by wealthy racketeers whose headquarters are in the United States.But capture of individual smugglers, or of illicit stills does not mean tracing the illegal business to its real source.Drivers, or agents are only underlings in the racket, and the men picked up in a raid on a still are never anything more.In the case of the Montreal West raid, the only individual caught was a woman who said she had been hired merely as a caretaker, although the house had been gutted to its bare walls to make way for the elaborate distilling plant.Often too, R.C.M.P.officials state, fines have been inadequate, and some cases have been dismissed on technicalities.It is for this reason that the Mounties have recently attempted to establish charges of conspiracy to defraud, in addition to the lesser charges of owning, selling or manufacturing illicit alcohol.On the conspiracy count, the police have far greater scope for questioning and uncovering leading evidence.This procedure was adopted by the United States federal authorities in the prosecution of prohibition violations during the period of the Eighteenth Amendment, and it has been successfully employed by the Preventive Service in Canada in uncovering drug and silk smuggling rings with their roots across the border.CASE MODEL \u201cL\u201d 3-4 PLOW TRACTOR Low upkeep is the bi thing to look for when you get a tractor.as 1c an

Improved to Former Days\u2014Still À great Need For Improvement to + Meet Ever Changing Conditions of A Fast Moving World By J.B.MacMILLAN Someone has said that the origin of any school is to be found in the desire of mankind to pass on to children the sum and substance of human experience.Perhaps the strongest parental instinct in man is his desire, after he has found shelter and a home for his children, to provide the best that he can in the way of education to raise these children above the level of brutehood, by handing on to them that race experience, which will help them to adjust themselves to their environment, and give them a better understanding of life.Huntingdon Academy owes its first beginnings to just such instinc-* tive urge.In the hearts of the pioneers there burned a zeal for something better than the common school; and though the difficulties seemed at times insurmountable, they were overcome\u2014 and Huntingdon Academy was born.While the Academy owes its distinctive reputation to those men and women who have passed through its portals into life, it owes its existence to one man, more than to any other, namely.the late Doctor Francis Shirriff.Many of the men who were to co-operate with Dr.Shirriff failed him, or were lacking in enthusiasm; but not so the women of the vicinity.When the men failed to raise sufficient funds to finish the building, the women stepped into the gap, accepted the challenge, and by the sale of their own handiwork raised funds which made possible the completion of the \u201cOld Academy.\u201d To quote from the Gleaner of July, 1902: \u201cBut for this (the procuring of a grant of $800 from the Federal Government by R.B.So- merville) and a second contribution from the ladies, who had been indefatigable in holding entertainments and raised by them $920\u2014disaster would have overtaken the enterprise.So long as the academy remained under the control of a Board of Directors, its chief dependence was the women of the village and neighbourhood.Whenever there was a deficit to be met or repairs needed they were appealed to and never in vain.Reviewing the record from 1852 to 1887 when the school commissioners took it over it is the simple truth that but for the women of Huntingdon the Academy would have gone under.\u201d Quoting the late Mr, Robert Sel- lar: \u201cIt was speedily realized a mistake was made in constituting the clergymen as directors by virtue of their office, Few of the many who acted on the Board were businessmen, while their ideas of what the Academy should be were based on their

don and vicinity being desirous of having better educational facilities than was afforded by the common schools, undertook the task of having an academy established in the village of Huntingdon.Several meetings were held.committees named and subscriptions solicited.Among the most active in this movement were Lt.Col.Reid, Dr.Shir- riff, R.B.Somerville, John Morrison, Alex Stevenson, W.M.Marshall, James Davidson, the clergymen resident in the village, and others.A lot was secured on the corner of King and Dalhousie streets.and in 1851 and 1852 a substantial two- storey building was erected.which still stands as a monument to the liberality.public spirit.and enterprise of the citizens of fifty years ago.The academy.when completed, cost about $3000, of this amoun: $1000 was received as a grant from the government.The ladies, by soirees and other entertainments.raised about $570.The balance was raised by volutitary subscriptions.In 1852 the academy was opened.The first principal was the Rev.P.D.Muir.Presbyterian Minister.The Academy was not then under the control of the school commissioners but was incorporated by special statute in 1854.The following persons composed the Board of Directors, viz: Rev.A.Wallace, Rev.Edmund Doyle.Rev.Isaac Barber, Rev.Fred S.Neve, and Messrs.Jas.Reid, John Morrison, S.H.Schuyler, W.M.Lamb, F.W.Shirriff, M.D., Alex Anderson, Jas.Davidson and John Whyte.Jas.Reid was appointed Chairman and Dr.Shirriff, Secretary- Treasurer.Since 1852 the Academy has been continuously in operation and has done much to raise the educational standard in the county of Huntine- don and in the adjoining counties.In 1887 the Academy ceased to be | under the control of the Board of Directors.as provided by its act of incorporation.and since said date has been under the control of the school commissioners of the village of Huntingdon.In order to provide the necessary accommodation for the increased number of pupils a new brick school house was built on the lot adjoining the academy.The corner-stone of the new school was laid by the late Dr.Shirriff on the 23rd Aug.1887 and was named \u201cThe Jubilee School\u201d.that being the year in which her late Majesty Queen Victoria attained the fiftieth year of her reign.For the last fifty years the academy has carried on its educational work with varying success.with varying success.During the last twenty-seven years the Academy has stood first in the province, twenty-one years.Since 1890 the Academy has headed the list continuously.This was in a great measure due to the untiring efforts of the Principal, C.S.Holiday.who has been in charge since 1884.In the early part of this year 1902, it was thought advisable to celebrate DO THIS: Massage his throat, Do TI and back with Vicks VapoRub and tuck him into bed.Next, put a spopn£ul of VapoRub in a bowl of boiling water; place a newspaper or sheet over the child's head like a tent, covering the bowl too, so the medicated vapors can be inhaled for several minutes.This treatment loosens phlegm\u2014clears air-passages\u2014 checks tendency to cough \u2014re- lieves local congestion.Long after he relaxes into peaceful sleep, VapoRub\u2019s poultice -

One did not even graduate in the earliest days of Huntingdon Academy's history.Yet under the guidance of eminent men who set their own curriculum.and collected their own fees, men and women went out from this institution with no certificate but the certificate which the school had to offer.There were no departmental examinations.Of course when the academy was taken over by the School Commissioners government regulations came into force and it no longer continued to exist as a law unto itself.A list of past principals follows: Rev.P.D.Muir 1852 .1853 Mr.S.Henry 1854 Mr.H.Powers 1855 Rev.John Bell 1856, 1857 Mr.D.McKenzie 1858, 1859 Mr.J.D.Borthwick 1860, 1861, 1862 Mr.J.J.Maclaren 1863, 1864 Mr.J.W.Jolly 1865, 1866 Mr.John Morrison 1887, 1868 Mr.J.A.Clark 1869 .James McGregor 1870 to 1880 inclusive Mr.J.M.Elder 1881 Mr.John Graham 1882 Mr.S.Phillips 1883 Mr.C.S.Holiday 1884-1905 Mr.M.A.Leet 1906 Mr.W.O.Rothney 1907-09 Mr.A.R.B.Lockhart 1909-11 Mr.D.E.Carmichael 1912 Mr.C.N.Crutchfield 1913-1917 It is to be noted that among the Principals the late Inspector Mc- Gregor and the late Caleb 8.Holi- James A.Moffat Feed Merchant Takes pleasure in extending best wishes to the Gleaner on its 75th Anniversary Pioneer Feeds - Master Feeds - Purina Feeds - Grain Custom Grinding day served longest.The shortness Above is shown a group of former pupils of the Huntingdon Academy that kind of background |.x irls Reunion held here last summer.then and now.The old motto: of duration of service in many of those before Mr.McGregor's time is to be partly accounted for by the fact that many of these gentlemen used their teaching as a \u201csteppingstone\u201d to another profession or in the case of resident clergy they found it difficult to attend to their pastoral duties as well.Without complete records it is difficult to chronicle all that might be said of these worthy men who piloted the old school through the many troubled waters she had to pass.There must be many pleasant memories of them all and they must have left very vivid and lasting impressions upon their students.Suffice it to say that while some may have done better than others\u2014 and the some who did may have had more school-minded material, or better assistants or many other ad- vantages\u2014the best traditions were maintained.Not however to the Principals alone goes the honour of the main- i tenance of high standards.We can all recall the splendid work done by assistants and teachers of the higher and lower forms, A building is only as sound as its foundation and the foundation for the superstructure must have been well and ably laid.i Discipline and disciplinary meth- | ods have changed somewhat since | Former Principal JAMES McGREGOR, a former principal of the Academy.\u201cSpare the rod and spoil the child\u201d was quite rigidly adhered to and in many cases the child did not spoil for lack of application of the birch.Some have wondered if a little application of the ancient remedy wouldn't act as a good sedative.And they feel that we are erring a bit now on the other side by moderating the severity of our punishments.Undoubtedly there's a place for the shingle yet.Nor were the best traditions of the old school maintained by the Principal and Staff alone.There have been many remarkable men serving on the Boards of School Commissioners.One is reminded of the venerable old gentleman, the late Alex Chalmers, of the late John Hunter.and in our own day of Malcolm T.Robb, Mr.E.C.McCoy and of our present \u201cold worthy\u201d Dr.R.N.Walsh, to mention those who served longest.All these men rendered laudable service but Dr.Walsh's contribution.in duration of time at least, surpasses them all.The school commissioners serve the community with no remuneration and at times are under severe rw on the occasion of the Old Boys\u2019 and act to the best of their ability.Nor does the greatness of a school depend on the Principal, Staff and Commissioners\u2014there would be no necessity for a school without the students\u2014and it is for the child and the child alone that any school exists.And what a fruitful number of students the \u201cold school\u201d has turned out! Students in the various professions, in business and in the field of finance, in the humbler walks of life.on the farm, in the work-ghop\u2014all claiming Hunting- don Academy as their Alma Mater\u2014 all her children who would rise up and call her blessed.Some of these sons of the school have given palpable evidence of their regard for her by the institution of scholarships.The first scholarship was given by the Hon.Chief Justice Brown of Saskatchewan\u2014a scholarship of $100 competed for annually by students in Grades VIII and XI.The second was the Lord Athol- stan Scholarship given annually by the late Lord Atholstan.It was to the amount of $1000 and was awarded to the student leading Grade XI in the final examinations after completing 4 vears of attendance in | Huntingdon Academy.; The student winning It must proceed to McGill University.A generous sum was also bequeathed by the late Jumes D.Brown, establishing the \u201cJames D Brown Memorial Fund.\u201d And in addition to these munificent gifts numerous smaller donations have been given not only by | students but by friends.We cannot refrain from mentioning the $50 which has been given annually by Dr J.C.Moore, who though not a student, loved the Academy as one of its own.And there are those of us who know, that on different occasions, before a re- | pular fund was established, Dr.Moore gave money to help extracurricular activities, and this, long before he became n member of parliament.Time and again when appeals were made for funds, particularly in support of athletics, the ex-students responded generously with their help.It would seem that one of our present greatest needs.when girls participate in almost as many sports as boys, is ample play-grounds.It is possible that some alterations to the present \u201cold building \u2014 making it more like the original- along with a modern extension and ampler play-grounds\u2014would meet the needs of our children, and not burden the tax-payer too hecavily- at the same time perpetuating the old and adding the new .This rambling discourse closes with this prayer, that we who have been privileged to sit in that school so dear to our hearts\u2014though separated by time and circumstance - will ever retain a deep fondness for our Alma Mater: that we shall ever have happy memories of her and of our class-mates; and that one day.when earthly lessons are over and earthly tasks complete, we may all be united in that Great School above.\u201cTIRED\u201d MR.J.A.McDONALD, President of McDonald & Robb Ltd, millers of \u201cOur Best Flour\u201d, which has gained much favour with the housewives of this district.T.Walker Cluff Although a son of Port Lewis, he is better known as a Huntingdonian for it was in this town that he was brought up and received his early education.Walker was born at Port Lewis on February 18, 1891.a son of the late Robert Cluff and Elizabeth Walker Cluff.Today his home is at 380 3rd Ave.Ottawa.Mr.Clufft attended Huntingdon Academy and from this school of learning attended the Bliss Electrical College in Washington, DC He furthered his electrical education with the Westinghouse Electric at Hamiiton, Ont.At the present time he fis the chief engineer of the Ottawa Electric Co.and Ottawa Electric Railway.He has occupied this position for several years with mark - ed success.Mr Clutf has always been noted for being most excellent company and his many Ottawa friends have accorded him honors, knowing his congenial disposition and executive ability.He is associated with many clubs in Ottawa and at the moment is: President of the Gwo Club of Ottawa; President.Abitibi Fish and Game Club; Vice-President.Ottawn Hunt and Golf Club, and the Minto Fancy Skating Club Mr Cluff makes it a practice to spend his summer holidays at Port Page Thirty-seven !

Mr.John McGibbon of Dundee.Que.Mr.McGibbon was eventual- ; ly relieved by Mr.C.D.O'Reilly | whose office and house were located ; a little cver a mile from the border.Mr.O'Reilly was succeeded by Mr.\u2019 H.T Wilson.who purchased the O'Reilly property about the year 1907.and the office remained there until :1 was destroyed by fire in 1933.Shortly after the disastrous fire which destroyed most of the old customs records.the Government decided to build :he new modern Customs office.with garage and warehouse.as now located within a few feet of the International border.From the oldest records at hand.the traffic from 1860 :o about 1918 was mostly by horse drawn vehicles and up to that time the Customs revenues seldom exceeded $400.00 a vear.There is some record of petty smuggling and seizures of the same: but according to some of the older inhabitants.there were occasions \u2018as now: when goods crossed the frontier without the formality of Customs inspection and some fruitless chases of elusive smugglers occurred.C.J.ROBINS, Circulation Officer of Quebec Roads Department, Customs at Herdman River Was First Established ' » } À W.E.A.ROWAT When, however.the era of prohibition emerged in the USA.a sudden and great increase in auto traffic developed over this old highway.and the one Customs officer was confronted with more work than he could possibly handle alone.and more officers were appointed unl a total of six were established.Previously a charge of 30 cents was Made on each vehicle entering Canada on Sundays, or Dominion holidays.but the traffic became so great that this was abolished and the officers were paid a limited overtime allowance.Customs revenues increased to as high as $54.000 a year and there were numerous seizures of contraband Ili- quor.autos.cigarettes and other merchandise.The crest of the U.S.A.tourist lood was reached in 1929 when a thousand cars a day was quite common during the summer months.On the abolition of the 18th amendmen: in the USA.together with the effects of ithe 1929-32 depression.tourist traffic dropped off sharply: but from 1934 to the present there was a steady gain in all kinds of traffic.and several days of the present year showed traffic of over a thousand autos.A striking feature of the present \u2018rend 1s the increase of Canadian cars going to the U.S.A.This is no.doubt due somewhat to the $100.00 exemption now granted to Canadians visiting in the U.S.A.for over 48 hours.This short summary of the development of the OQutport of Trout River would be incomplete.without some mention of the Immigration and Provincial services.Previous to the prohibition era.the Customs officers were also Immigration officers; beginning of that time.Mr.Jos.Tallon was appointed Immigration officer.and was shortly succeeded : by Mr.Wm.Goundrey, veteran Immigration officer from Huntingdon.who recalls many interesting and - exciting chases after aliens and citizens of enemy countries during the war period and after.He was retired after long and faithful service in 1937.and was succeeded by Mr.C.Pease.Going 18 Years Station Opened in 1920; New Building Erected in 1926 (By W.A.Fennell) I According to available records this\u2019 Station was opened in July 1920.The | following officers have served at this!

This spot is connected with the romantic legend of Maggie Lee.known as the Flower of the Iroquois and Heroine of the Chateauguay.In the summer of 1938 certain peaceful American invaders from Wisconsin visited Huntingdon in a streamlined motor car, travelling over smoothly surfaced roads.They discussed with the Mayor and other town officials the prospect of a factory to make a famous brand of condensed milk.According to the History of Hun- tingdon, by Robert Sellar.the first man to start a successful business career in the town, walked through the bush from Lacolle in the year 1822.A stout man, past middle life, william Bowron had already made a fortune and lost it.He was born of Quaker parentage in Yorkshire in 1782 and came to America with the family to settle mm Champlain, N.Y.Here he made money selling meat to the troops in the War of 1812-14 and lost it in the clothing business in Montreal.In order to discourage invasion the frontier between Canada and, the United States had been left inf, ne.it proved a great boon to deep impenetrable forest.which the sotlers.ne them the trip to proved to be a wise and effective Constable or Fort Covington.policy.After the Revolutionary War migration to the British pos- smith arrived from Glasgow and sessions in America greatly in-: opened a store.first in Bowron's creased.In 1815 the Napoleonle ! house and afterwards in his own wars ended and soldiers were given : premises just east of Lake St.Dun- land grants from the Crown, When can McNee it was known that Lord Dalhousie | 53g McFarlane went into lumbering proposed to open the lands along business.He was drowned in 1829 the frontier for settlement.William by going over the dam at Dewittville Bowron perceived an opportunity '0 when his canoe upset.re-establish himself.He purchased Schools 400 acres of land in Elgin and ap- ; plied for and received the appoint- In 1822.Bill Gouge.a ship's carment of Crown Lands Agent in the penter and newly opened County of Hunting- don.From about 1820 Percy Bros.had a sawmill on the south bank of the river about 100 yards above the Walker Bridge.At the head of the rapids Benjamin Palmer.a line- bound Yankee squatter.had a house on the north bank.Above the fork of the Trout and Chateauguay were numerous cabins of Yankee squatters who engaged in lumbering and pot ash trade.generally a shiftless lot.; eachers-\u2014the About the first Old Country settler ; ane Succession, of oe coule a son Ee Elder, a cooper from Lot give a living to one.In 1829.{when the population was 125 TR 2 \u201cGirls\u2019 School\u201d was opened in Per- Writer of Article MRS.W.L.CARR \u2014 ing times.William Bowron boarded there for a year until he erected a shack on the Hinchinbrooke side.Mr.Bowron saw that the rapids made the spot a natural townsite and had one laid out by Thomas Carlisle, a surveyor.He went into the lumber business with the Percys and finally took over their mill.Percys then built a tavern.In 1824 Wm.Bowron built à grist mill and while it was of primi- in a small shanty near the Canal which was attended by four Percys, three Palmers and three Hunters.He staved only ten months.1825, when Bowron engaged George Davis, a well educated man with slight talent as a teacher but good at drawing and engineering.The Society for Advancement of Learning is said to have provided towards his salary.After him family four days to reach their des- Fort Covington.and continued for tination, from Montreal via Chal- twenty-five years.Where the Acad- esuguay Basin to Dewittville in emy now stands was solid bush.canoes and thence on foot.Mr., Bowron Village Hunter carried the women across: the many creeks.He settled on LOU de Lery.came to see about making 17 (Major Whyte's) but the land roads.He was the guest of Bowron was claimed under Patent to an- who succeeded in having a bridge other and Hunters moved to the|pyilt at the site of his mill.Many south-east corner of Wellington ana thought it should have been at the Cemetery Street and again found ford on the direct road to the they were trespassing.Mr.Hunter Lines.had many adventures in carrying!

lives, Mrs.Stevens and ; child and two mill girls.The mill was rebuilt and an American, Briggs, continued to make very good cloth.The first stone house was built by McNee from stone blasted out in making the canal.Shirley Norton had a foundry near the new sawmill, his fan being driven by the mill wheel.He made various needed castings and moulds for johnny cake.Wm.Bowron built a new house for himself in the vicinity of his new mill.It was the second stone house to be built and is occupied to-day by Frank H.Hunter, grandson of the first John Hunter.Early Churches \u201cFor the first ten years,\u201d says Robert Sellar, \u201csettlers of Hunting- | don were careless and worldly with no religious life or organized effort in spiritual things.Among the founders were none who exerted an active force for good.\u201d The first religious service was conducted by Rev.McWattie, who was returning from Elgin after performing the marriage of Peter Horn and Janet McFarlane.It was held in James Percy's bar-room, which was crowded.Bishop Stewart also used the same premises for his services at a later date.None of the various Montreal ministers who visited the community attempted to establish a congregation.Wander- to | edifice as the Montreal Presbytery refused to recognize his credentials.| ing preachers, lay and ordained.frequently come from the American side to conduct services in the new settlement.The first resident minister was a Baptist, Rev.Mr.Kingsford, who came from England in 1831.Mr.and Mrs.Kingsford lived in William Bowron's old house for over a year.He preached in the schoolhouse and baptised three converts in the millpond.Mrs.Kingsford acted as mistress in the girls\u2019 day school.The first resident Presbyterian minister was Rev.James Miller of Stirlingshire.sent out by Glasgow Missionary Society.The first house on Hunter street was built for him by a series of bees.Mr.Miller held services and taught classes in the schoolhouse with 120 scholars on the roll.Whiskey smuggled from the United States sold for 20 to 25 cents a gallon and to counteract the evil Mr.Miller formed a temperance society in 1832.Through the inspiration and activity of Rev.Mr.Miller the first church was erected in Huntingdon.Timbers were taken out and erected but it was not enclosed until 1834, when farmers contributed enough shingles hewn out by themselves.Mr.Miller never did preach in the He despaired of being inducted in Huntingdon and accepted a call to Chateaugay.N.Y.where he performed a long and useful service.In 1834.Rev.William Montgomery Walker of Ayrshire was sent by the Glasgow Missionary Society to Montreal and from there to the new settlement at Huntingdon.The church was not ready, so his induction took place in the old sawmill.The first couple he married was \u201cLaird\u201d Alex.Anderson and Elizabeth Tully.Rev.Mr.Walker pursued his work with great energy and zeal, holding services throughout the country in outlying schoolhouses.such as Marshall's, Elgin, Munro's and Dewittville.In 1837, Bishop Mountain\u2019s visits to Huntingdon resulted in the Anglican congregation starting a church.Bowron and Lewis took a leading part in its promotion.The contract was given to William and David Lamb.and completed in 1839.Rev.Wm.Brethour of Orms- town arranged to hold regular services.During most of this time the American settlers held services and school of their own in a building a little east of the present Sellar residence.There was much rivalry between respective scholars and even the preachers had bitter disagreements.The early spade work in promotion of the Methodist Church appears to have been done by lay or local preachers who visited or settled in the community from time to time.In 1839 a church was commenced at the head of Lorne Street.Twenty years after the first settlers began to arrive, Huntingdon emerged from a careless frontier settlement into a fairly civilized community with three or four rival congregations, started and continued through personal and group feuds.Early Political Activities There had been a century and a half of hostility between New England and New France, due to fur- trading rivalries, Indian alliances.frontier raids and religious differences.The conquest of Canada by the British only aggravated this condition.The American Revolutionary War sent tens of thousands of loyalists from New England to occupy lands in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario and in the Champlain-Richelieu section.The coming of the Loyalists was the second invasion and conquest of French Canada and changed the destiny of Canada and of America.The French Canadians and the British Government were equally embarrassed by this unforeseen development at the time the Quebec Act was passed in 1774.It is still a delicate situation.Present day French Canadian national spirit is an outgrowth of the Quebec Act and the Loyalist migration.The desire of the United States to control the Continent, the fur trade and stamp out Indian wars, brought about a declaration of War on England in 1812 and the Invasion of Canada.Hampton's army marched from Athelstan, crossed by the ford VISIT OUR REMODELLED STORE New Ladies\u2019 and Men's Departments.You will make this your store from now on.ROGER BILLETTE Successor to P.Billette, VALLEYFIELD at the head of the rapids.A road had to be cut and corduroyed through swamp.The only engagement of this army in the district took place at the Battle of Chat- eauguay, one of the most brilliant victories of the war.won by the French-Canadians, led by Col.Charles de Salaberry.Internal Wars For a time this threat of a common enemy helped to allay racial suspicions in Canada.The Constitution Act of 1791, dividing Upper and Lower Canada as a solution to rival claims, did not satisfy either race.The 1830's brought serious strife to both provinces.The 80,000 English settlers in the Quebec Townships were in the minority in the representatives in the Assembly but had great influence in the Executive Council.appointed by the Crown.Through the agitation of Papineau and his followers a deadlock resulted in the Administration and open revolution against British possession.A rally to express the determination of the Loyalist settlers to maintain the British connection was held in Huntingdon in 1833.A huge open-air meeting gathered.when husky settlers in rough clothes, shouted their determination to fight to the death to resist the enemies of Britain.Papineau had many sympathizers among the American settlers in Quebec and along the Border, who hoped for annexation.\u201cThis meeting,\u201d says Robert Sel- lar.\u201clike all others then held in the Townships refutes the popular notion that the

plant, vinces.It is safe to say that had William Lyon McKenzie been a resident of Montreal instead of Toronto, he would have shouldered a musket to put down a rebellion instead of leading one.\u201d Bowron Nominated The Huntingdon meeting decided to nominate a candidate to break the custom of sending supporters for Papineau to the Assembly.At a second meeting at Brodie's in North Georgetown William Bowron was nominated.The only poll in the District was at Beauharnois and open voting was the rule.Few from Huntingdon could attend and owing to the usual political skullduggery, Bowron was defeated and the supporter of Papineau returned again.In 1837, the first Rebellion, nothing happened near Huntingdon, but militia units were formed and arms distributed.Early in 1838 they were disbanded, after suppression of uprising.French and English settlers continued to live on the usual friendly terms personally.and it came as a complete surprise when the second uprising took place on Nov.3rd, 1838.Several English travellers in Miller's tavern at Ste.Martine were taken prisoners, among them Archibald Henderson, mill-owner from Huntingdon.He was in hiding in the haymow and had a pitchfork stuck through his thigh.Arch.McEachren brought news of the affair to Huntingdon on Sunday morning.The Rev.Wm.Walker was holding service, but closed his book and advised the men to fly to arms.He afterwards strode up and down with a gun on his shoulder.encouraging the volunteers in their hasty preparations.Such a Sunday was never known in Huntingdon.Sandy Lumsden, Athelstan blacksmith, was set to work in the church repairing old flint locks and Willie Stark was shoeing horses for scouts and messengers.On Monday, 150 men were equipped and marched over tegrible roads to Dewittville.In the late afternoon they reached the Blockhouse., The rebels were at Baker's house where the road to Beauharnois branched off.Here they prepared for attack by the Huntingdon men, who were mostly farmers.The townsmen feared an attack by the Americans and stayed to protect the village, under Major McGibbon.On Tuesday and Wednesday reinforcements from the English River and adjoining sections came to assist the Huntingdon men at their camp.They found shelter around Reeves\u2019 tavern and settlers\u2019 wives provided food.Another com- \u2018pany stayed at the gristmill in | Ormstown under Col.Strachan.i Many French-Canadians were arrested and detained here.Norton :| Creek gristmill was another Loyalist camp.Col.Campbell felt that his force was not well enough armed or disciplined to risk an attack and awaited further reinforcements.The rebels likewise feared an encounter.Loyalist scouts finally caused firing in which encounter William King of Elgin was severely wounded and afterwards died.When King\u2019s body was being carried home they met a regiment of Glengarry Highlanders, under Col.MacDonnell and a band of 70 St.Regis Indians.The Highlanders had crossed from Cornwall they were joined by the Indians.They marched to Huntingdon and stayed overnight and then joined Col.Campbell.On Thursday the Loyalists found that the Rebels had deserted their camp at

prisoners, as far as St.Martine and St.Remi.The Indians and Highlanders burned and plundered the Rebel premises as they went.Thus ended the rebellion and the volunteers were discharged.Engagements elsewhere did not concern the men of Huntingdon, who had been absent exactly ten days.During this time few had their clothes off, undergoing much fatigue in their marches over terrible roads.To the widow and infant son of william King they voted a day's pay, which for a private was 24c.The government gave her no compensation! Col.Campbell is censured by some historians for his reluctance to open an attack on the Rebels at Baker's.The record regarding the fate of William King and his family is rather eloquent testimony as to the wisdom of avoiding casualfies.* + - * + 1820-1840 Just the high lights of the first twenty years are sketched here.All the incidents and people mentioned suggest sufficient possible details of romance, adventure, effort, ach£eve- ment or failure to fill several books.The exploits and achievements of William Bowron are recorded in greater detail than those of other men of the early days.Many other pioneers shared equally in the hardships common to new settlements.Many met failure or decided to push on to other fields of endeavour in the glamorous new country to the west._ L'or nes None of the descendants of William Bowron remain in Huntingdon to-day.According to records in St.John's Anglican Church, \u201cWilliam Bowron of Hinchinbrook, County of Beauharnois, gentleman, and late of Yorkshire, was baptized on September 8th, 1851, at the age of 70 years.Witnesses: Jane and Robert Bow- ron.\u201d Also in 1851, his eldest son, William, married Harriet Eliza Bradford.Witnesses, Daniel Shanks and Chas.Bradford.His daughter, Martha, married Archibald Mc- Eachern, (afterwards Colonel Mec- Eachern, CM.G.);: another daughter, Jane, married Hiram Burrows; Sarah married a Schuyler in 1852 and Charlotte, a Mr.Kidder.The Burrows and Kidders went to Wisconsin where the youngest son, John, followed them in 1862.William Bowron died January 24, 1852, his wife, Sarah, surviving until October 17.1878.Over the altar in St.John's Church, Huntingdon, is a Memorial Window erected to their memory by the children.Many of the other pioneers are still represented by their descendants, some carrying on the sami™ trades and professions.John Hunter has a grandson and great-grand- son carrying on business as merchants in Chateauguay Street, Arthur E.Hunter and Morris Hunter, while another grandson, Frank, owns the residence built by William Bowron.John Hunter & Sons operated the Bowron & Henderson - Mills for many years, finally selling out to City Gas & Eleciric Corp.Fortunes still carry on a drug store and grand-daughters of Rev.William Walker reside on Chateauguay Street.Among the descendants of the Willie Stark, who shod horses on Sunday for the soldiers, are J.W.Stark, Tom Stark, J.A.and W.L.Carr, Mrs.Ward Kelly and many others.Many descendants of the Pringles carry on in trade and on farms and those of George Elder of Elgin are innumerable.Finally, the title chosen for this very inadequate outline of the founding of Huntingdon was suggested by a text used by Rev.James H.Woodside of Kensington United Church on a Sunday in July 1938.- \u201cCall to Remembrance Former Days.\u201d DEATH SET A TIME Although said to have been the \u201cmost wounded\u201d man of the World War, Wallace H.Smith, Miami, Fla., died of a heart attack last week while driving his car from an American Legion meeting.A shell explosion which killed 34 comrades, wounded Smith in 132 places during the Chateau Thierry offensive.As he lay on the battlefield, an enemy soldier bayoneted him through the left lung.He enlisted in the war at the age of 15.Although carrying many shell fragments in his body and minus one lung, Smith appeared so hale and hearty his war companions called him \u201cBlimp.\u201d ART PRODIGY Visitors to an exhibition held by the Szeged Art society, Budapest.were much impressed by a land- , scape signed \u201cGyula Kuruez, Jr.\" It is now revealed the artist is the seven-year-old son of Erno Kurucz, a well known painter.He started painting when he was four.and could read and write at that age.The walls of their home are hung with paintings by father and son.The Szeged selection committee chose the painting sent®in by young Gyula Kurucz believing it to be the \u201c work of a mature and experienced « artist.Experts believe he will achieve greatness as a painter.\u2014 GAUTHIER Anniversary.~~ = Valleyfield\u2019s Oldest Drug Store takes much pleasure in extending their heartiest congratulations to the Gleaner on its 75th Drugs, Novelties, Candy, Powders, Perfumes, ~~ PHARMACY Fancy Goods.VICTORIA ST.- .VALLEYFIELD > EE 1857 {) Phone 2, 1857 Thos.Baird & Son GRAIN and COAL MERCHANTS Congratulates the Gleaner on the occasion of its 75th Anniversary OUR BEST FLOUR - FIVES ROSES FLOUR - CHAMPLAIN RATIONS - LAKKO POULTRY FEEDS - GLUTEN FEED AND BREWERS\u2019 GRAINS - MALT SPROUTS - BRAN AND SHORTS er 1938 REG'D Ormstown 1938 Swing To \u201cRoyal Crown Beverages\u201d !

little English was spoken outside of Montreal and the Townships.Consequently the Sun Life, while organized by an English- speaking group was incorporated by those who had learned to live with people of other races\u2014to do business with them, to understand them and | to serve them.This probably influ- 1 enced the decision taken later to | operate abroad.World Wide Aspect of the Sun Life of Canada The international operations of | the Sun Life have been a principal factor in its growth.Of total assurances in force, which at the end of 1937 amounted to $2.896,000,000, lives assured outside Canada account for two billion.The premium income in respect of this business amounted to more than $88,000.000 last year.What does this development abroad mean to the Province of Quebec?What does it mean to a farmer in the Townships or to a clerical worker in the city?If the Sun Life limited its business to the Province of Quebec.a head office force of 150 to 175 people would suffice for its needs.If its business were restricted to Canada, less than 500 people would be need- THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER mal earnings cease or are reduced, or when policyholders die and leave : Page Forty-one the Sun Life is proud to have carried on a growing Life Assurance business for many years.And in the - mining regions of the North.as in the fishing villages along the coast, the Company is likewise represented.Total assurances in force in the Province now amount to approximately $280,500,000-\u2014an amount, incidentally, equivalent to Sun Life's: entire business in 1916.of the Montreal Cottons Officials A New Erin Landmark dependents, or when a financial em- | .\u2019 .- ergency demands immediate relief.The payments consequently protect many beneficiaries from becoming a charge on public funds.Sun Life of Canada as Corporate Citizen As a citizen, too, the Sun Life ' renders service.Like any other citi- Service of the Sun Life of Canada zen, the Company must live in a to the Province \u2018home.The construction of this home | Investments of the Sun Life in |! \u2014its head office in the City of the Province of Quebec alone\u2014 in-, Montreal, has been of great advan- vestments which are associated with tage to the Province of Quebec.The the public welfare and benefit\u2014have Province supplied the granite used reached the impressive figure of in the building;
