BEAUHARNOIS HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17th, 1940 Vivid Impressions of Foreign Personalities Are Given Harry B.Spencer of Beauharnois Gives Address Here on \u201cGermany and Russia As He Viewed Them Three Years Ago\u201d\u2019\u2014Full Context of Address to Appear Next Week Social activity amongst the members of the Masonic fraternity at Huntingdon is just something that has not been practised in recent years.Last evening the first of a series of such evenings was held, and even though the weather was bitterly cold many members from as far as Kensington drove in for the evening and they were not disappointed.The feature of the evening was an address by Mr.Harry B.Spencer of Beauharnois who spoke on \u201cGermany and Russia as he viewed them three years ago.\u2019 Mr.Spencer was introduced by the Rev.Alex.Nimmo.Mr.Nimmo referred to Mr.Spencer as \u201ca man who was ever on the go, never knowing when he might be called to one city or another in the interests of the Howard Smith Paper Co, of which he is the Beauharnois mill manager.The mill is running day and night and often Mr, Spencer is obliged to work on Sundays; therefore, I say we are truly fortunate in having him with us.\u201d Mr.Spencer\u2019s address gave such a vivid impression of the German and Russian personalities, that have such an effect upon the manner of conducting the present war, we intend to print his address in a comprehensive manner in the next issue of the Gleaner.Watch for it, for we believe after reading the account you will be better able to appreciate the actions of the German and Russian people.During the evening games were generously indulged in.The Rev.Scott Duncan, Athelstan favoured the gathering with violin selections whilst Mr.Aubrey McBride recited.Mr.Ivan Heath Grant led in the sing-song.Refreshments were served.The next social evening will likely be held in February.Hospital at Ormstown Kept Busy An Average of Seven Patients A Day During December More than 25

recorded at the Hospital was that of Barrie Daniel Cassidy, son of Mr.and Mrs.Daniel Cassidy of St.Chrysostome on December 20.One birth was recorded on New Year's day at the Hospital.The first patient

residents of Hunting- don have complained that money left in their milk bottles has been stolen.Coming at a time when there has been an epidemic of thieving about town it would seem to be a warning to all concerned.Why there should be such a trend towards petty thieving of late doesn\u2019t seem to have a definite answer although there are various suggestions.Post Office at Howick Run For 100 Years

© A report of the Agricultural Supplies Committee was released in Ottawa on January 10th, the day before a meeting was called of the Producers\u2019 Section of National Dairy Council to discuss the matter of ad- valice in mill feeds with the Committee, \u2018The findings of the special Investigating Committee indicated that they were convinced dairy farmers had little to complain about such price advances, as the price of butter fal and hogs had made equivalent advances and that the prepared feeds are selling now at slightly less than the ten year average.This Report was made as a result of a demand of the National Dairy Council and the Special Committee il of the Breed Associations early in October, that the Agricultural SBup- plies Committee investigate the advance in bran, shorts and other necessary feeds.Representing the Government Committee on January 11th in Ottawa were Messrs, White and Mc- Arthur of the Department of Agriculture.The National Dairy Council was represented by the President, Gilbert McMillan, W.L.Carr, of Quebec, George Jackson of Toronto and Stewart Hyde of Hamilton and the Secretary Allan C.Fraser.Messrs, P.D.McArthur, David Black and W.W.Moore of Montreai Milk Producers also attended.The Globe and Mail commented on the situation as follows: \u201cThe Agricultural Supplies Committee today received the first burst of criticism against its findings that the price of mill feeds was not out of line with that of farm products.The Whole Milk Producers from Ontario and Quebec meeting as members of the National Dairy Council, in an unanimous resolution, drew attention to the fact that mill feed prices had moved up sharply since war was declared, while the price of whole milk was still the sume.They pointed out to the Committee in judging the price spreads by the price of butter fat, an unfortunate .comparison had been made as cream producers used very little mill feeds, while whole milk producers are very large consumers, They requested the Agricultural Supplies Committee to consider the question further and attempt to work out some form of compensation for the farmer who supplies the whole milk to the cities.\u201d IL has taken the Agricultural Supplies Committee six weeks of the winter feed period to investigate this question and come to a incorrect conclusion because they apparently did not consult dairy farmers or even the Provincial Dairy Commissions who could have point- cd out this elementary error.The Committee have reported to the press that while finding against the contention of the farmers, that it is continuing to keep in close touch with the situation with \u201ca view to seeing that the farm buyer 1s not placed at a disadvantage in the market.\u201d Messrs.W.L.Carr and Stewart Hyde have been named a Committee of Producers in any further proceedings.When interviewed in Huntingdon yesterday, Gilbert McMillan expressed disappointment at the delay in the Committee obtaining information more favourable to the exposure of existing facts facing the dalry farmers.He added, however, that the present situation would have the desirable effect, in all probability, of halting any immediate further advance in mill feeds, MAN ACCUSED OF HAVING SMUGGLED ALCOHOL IS FINED A resident of Franklin Centre was fined $100.and costs or three months in jail in Magistrate's Court at Valleyfield by

Monday.with the sunrise.a new song will burst forth from the smart.up-to- date building that wil de the new home cf th Huntingdon Gleaner.A new song will rise from ihe metaphor of bricks that houses the efficiently arranged new Gleaner plant.The spirit ol mov.ng to new quarters has been sensed more and more each day as the day of setting forth has reared.If the most recent members of the Gieaner staff.whose relations to the Gleaner are only as of yesterday, have felt it.how much more must they have sensed it who have long years served the Gleaner.\u201cFelt\u201d what?it will be asked?To answer it is not easy.But there is always a certain pathos about a change.a certain sadness of farewell about leaving behind the haunt.much more the workshep, of long and busy and progressive years.So that.for some Linie past.and especially since it was definitely announced and ordered that our loins be girt, our sandals readjusted.our lamps burning bright and with staff in our hands.in readiness for the final flitting on January 22 we have awaited the time for moving forward.Ome can not but wender what has been the sensation of those longest connected with the Gleaner as, in the last few days.moving hither and thither about these familiar scenes.they have known that they are about to leave them forever.Any discerning rson who has followed closely the life of the Gleaner and the interesting business of printing and newspaperwork must have shared the thrill of deep and mingled feeling that has more or less laid hold of every heart.All things will go to the new building which have really gone towards making the Gleaner in the past\u2014the vision, enterprise.daring of one man; the like in others who have stood beside him; caught up in the fine contagion; the fearlessness which has permitted no dictation but of conscience, and no policy but what duty and judgment might provide; the same attitude of malice toward none and charity for all; the same industry and intelligence, and integrity.and enterprise, and independence, the same all-for-each-ness and each-for-all- ness; the same consistent conception of, and pursuit toward, what a newspaper ought to be, In going to its new home, the Huntingdon Gleaner is leaving an old home on Chateauguay Street which it occupied honorably for 38 years.It was in this old home, long since outgrown, that the Gleaner advanced in volume of production and capacity for service.Onward and upward, the history of the Huntingdon Gleaner has been one of bold venture and achievement.In the shadows of Sellar\u2019s printing smithy the anvil has been made to ring down through the years with the echoing notes of courage and compassion and fearless independent truth.This has brought progress, a long steady march of progress which has brought the Gleaner into a modern building in which it will be in a position to give a more efficient service to its customers of long years standing and to the generations of customers that are to come.and what thing \u201csensed?\u201d \u2014George L.Ellis Seigniorial Dues URING the years of the last Great War and for some years following, the farmers of this district in common with others throughout Canada enjoyed an era of good prices for their produce and consequently a time of prosperity.It was in these years that the' farmers had extra cash to pay off debts that had heen hanging over them for some years previous.One thing which some farmers desired to see cleared off for all time were seigniorial dues on their farms and many were paid off during this time, Since the depression set in there have been few pay the necessary money that pays off seigniorial dues for all time.With the present war in progress, however, and the possibility of there being good prices paid for farm produce again it is quite likely that some years from now will sec a goodly number of seigniorial dues paid off for all time.It is surprising the number of farms that pay these dues.Through the Post Office at Orms- town last fall some eighty residents of Ormstown vicinity paid their dues.This is not the only medium through which the payments are made, there being one other in Ormstown.And here it is thought about 20 persons pay their dues, making a total of about 100 people in and near Ormstown who pay these seigniorial dues.At Howick also it is estimated that annual payments are male by some 75 or more residents.These payments go to Mr.Roger McGowan at Beauharnois who is in charge of collecting them.The amount of the payment is $10.50 annually on a farm of 100 acres.In order to release a farm foi all time from seigniorial dues a payment of $175.00 is necessary.Several years ago there was some fuss amongst the farmers in the Ormstown and Howick areas in regard to the arrangement to have the seigniorial dues paid off for all time.For a time it looked as if quite a number would be paid off but this was not the case since it was thought by some that the time would come when these dues would be done away with and the farmers would no longer have to pay them.It is hardly likely that this will ever be the case and until the total amount required for releasing the farm from these payments is made, that is the sum of $175.00, the persons owning these farms will be obliged to keep paying.Sometimes it is difficult for the owners of the farms to understand why they should have to pay these special dues.When the seignior sold out his tract of land in this district, however.and the land was purchased by individual owners, these original owners received the land for a very small sum, the full value of the payments for the land to come with the passing of time and from the owners of the farms that were to follow even up to the present day.These dues go to the heirs of the seig- nivrs and the collection of the dues are handled by certain Quebec trust companies.Your Radio News \u201c OU have just heard the Canadian Press news review, For further details read your local newspapers.\u201d These words conclude the presentation over the radio of news collected and prepared by the Cun- adian Press.Canada's greatest news gathering organization.There has been a lot of work done preparatory to the presentation of the aforementioned news.In addition to the work of collecting it through the vast network facilities of the Canadian Press there nave been government regulaticns to be adhered to.restricting to an extent the nature of news presentations.But first and foremost news is news and the restrictions on war news is not quite so exacling as some people might be led to believe.We would like to refer here particularly to the last stage of the preparation of the radio news, the literary regulations that have to be adhered to.In conversation in the Toronto office of the Canadian Press with the writer of the news that is presented over the radio we learned of these literary regulations.Beside him on the wall they appeared as he sorted out the highlight news of the day coming in over the wires in detail.This news was then \u201cboiled down\u2019 into crisp.staccato news despatches for radio presentation.We reprint herewith these regulations and suggest you compare the rules with news despatches in various newspapers to see how closely news in those papers compares with the news that is prepared for radio presentation.They are as follows: Remember vou write for the ear\u2014not for the eye.Read each sentence aloud\u2014listen critically.Is the meaning clear\u2014with no ambiguity\u2014-on first hearing?to yourself Could it be expressed in fewer words with equal or greater force?Is any sentence too lonz to be read easily in one breath?Is so.is there a natural break for breath?Are there any tongue twisters?Every sentence should be short, snappy and to the point, without insubordinate clauses\u2014each containing just one thought.Put in all necessary \u201cthats\u201d for smooth reading: \u201cMr, Chamberlain said that Britain will fight.\u2019 rather than, \u201cMr.Chamberlain said Britain will fight.\u201d Use \"He has apparently yielded.\u201d rather than \u201cHe apparently has yielded.\u201d That adverbs come after such verbs as will.have, ete.is, Watch in making identifications that they be short.This is deadly on air: \u201cMajor-General A.G.L.McNaughton, commander-in-chief of the Canadian active service force.\" Instead.usec: identification first, then the name: \u201cThe Dominion minister of finance\u2014Col.Ralston.\u201d Use good snappy verbs like \u201chit, smashed, ete.\u201d They keep your bulletin lively, rather than indirect like \u201cA British ship was torpedoed by a German submarine.\u201d Use \u201cA German U-boat torpedoed a British ship today.\u201d Don't use journalese or headline words: slay, moot, looms, death-car, ete.Dances \u2014 Then and Now following words by Suckling would seem to catch the spirit of the dances of yesteryears, depicting the grace and modesty of the waltz and quadrille of a generation ago: \u201cHer feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice, stole in and out, As if they feared the light.And oh! she dances such a way, No sun upon an Easter day Ls half so fine a sight.\u201d In this connection an interesting old invitation was found by a Huntingdon resident who was cleaning out old papers in the attic of the house.It read: \u201cThe young men of Huntingdon Academy request the pleasure of Miss Minnie Goming'\u2019s presence at their annual Social in the Moir Hall, Friday evening, February 10th.Donald Rowat, Secretary.Dancing: French and Parker Orchestra.Patronesses: Mrs.G.Kelly, Mrs.G.A.Kyle, Mrs.Wills.\" On the inside of the invitation form is a list of dances of that time which will recall in the memory of many the graceful dances of yesteryears: Grand March, Quadrille, Waltz, Portland Fancy, Rush Polka, Cotillion, Military, Lancers, Jersey, Highland Schottische, Opera Reel, Gypsy, Sir Roger.The grace and rhythm of these dances stand out in sharp contrast to the jittery, speedy and racey dances of today, the Lambeth Walk, the Apple and others.Big THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF FIRST WAR LOAN SEEN Banks Have Agreed to Aid Investors in the Buying of the Bonds\u2014Rush- ing Preparations For the British Commonwealth Air Training Plans Canada's first war loan asking the people to lend the government money to carry on the war has been issued for public subscription.The total amount of the loan is $200,- 000,000 and the bonds ranging from fifty dollars upward bearing interest at 34 per cent.It is believed the lean will be heavily oversubscribed.It is the hope of the government that the loan will be as | widespread as possible, that the small investor will welcome this op- | portunity of taking part in the: struggle against aggression.The bonds will mature on Febru-, ary 1, 1852, but are callable in five lequal annual sections from Febru- jary 1, 1948 to the date of maturity.{In addition to the 8200,000.,000 which | sis new money to be spent in the: ! prosecution of the war, the costs of : | which now amount to approximate-: ;ly one million dollars daily.there: jare 115 million dollars worth of \u201cthree per cent government bonds j maturing on March 1, 1940, which.{the finance minister will have dis- | \u2018cretion to convert into the new is- ;sue if applications are received.The \u2018rate of interest on the new loan is\u2019 about the same as the short term defence bonds which Great Britain \"has been issuing since the opening of the war.The rate differs very \u2018materially from the interest which (Canada's War and Victory loans \u2018carried in the last war.These bonds \u201cwere at 5 and 5's: per cent.and ex- (cept for the 1919 lcan, they were tax free.The present issue is subject to taxation.Whether.in case the present loan is heavily oversubscribed, more than the 200 million dollars will be allotted, is a matter of government policy.It is not now known what \u2018action will be taken.The books \u2018are to be open to receive subscriptions fer a maximum of two weeks.They may be closed at any time by the finance minister with or without notice.i To aid investors who may be short lof cash at the moment, the banks have agreed to advance eighty per ; cent of the face value of the bonds for a period not exceeding three months.That is if.for example, a prospective buyer has twenty dollars, he can buy a hundred dollar , bond.the bank advancing the eighty\u2019 dollars.Interest on the bank loan Will be at exactly the same rate as \u2018that borne by the bond, that is 3%.per cent.Interest coupons from the \u201cbonds will be cashed without charge at any branch of Canadian banks in!

Mrs.J.V.Balcoimn, both of Montreal.A Leading Figure For a period exceeding well over half a century the late Arthur Osborne Dawson was an important figure in the industrial life in Canada and at the same time established a connection with the philanthropic and religious impulses of the city which has been widely felt in many directions.He was 75 years old, having been bern in New Brunswick in March.1864.He was best known in the business world as the president cf Canadian Cottons.Limited: a position to which he was elected in 1927.He was connected with the well-known textile firm of D.Mor- rice Sons & Co.from 1832 to 1910.This company was largely associated with the marketing of cotton textiles and in the latter year it was amalgamated with Canadian Cottons.Under the new arrangement

and we are pleased to report he has sufficiently recovered so as to be about attending to his multiplicity of business relations.Mr.McMillan was mm (ttawa on Friday.On Tuesday he left for a meeting at Kentville Nova Scotia.Intimate Checking Insurance Rates Only a few days ago a number of fire insurance representatives visited Huntingdon, anticipating receiving some of the risks on new properties erected.It would appear from their conversations, the time is ripe for Huntingdon to make an effort to have the Fire Insurance Underwriters check the rates over in Huntingdon thereby making it possible to secure lower insurance rates.This might very appropriately be taken up as a Board of Trade accomplishment for 1940.LOOK OUT FOR YOUR LIVER It may be the cause of your troubles.Buck it up

in last week's Gleaner.I have always felt that a much larger number of our purebred cows should be placed on test: for milk and butterfat production.It is the most direct and rapid way: can really get to know his cows.The R.O.P.offers! this service at a very low cost to\u2019 the breeder owing to the assistance given by the Federal Department of Agriculture.It is perfectly true that no pure-| bred herd can be wisely operated on.other than a milk-producing basis and that the 365-day test was not the most suitable length of test to! fit into such a milk-producing programme.Since 1921, however, when the ten-month or 305-day test was inaugurated, this objection has| been removed and there seems lit-| tle reason why more if not all of | our purebred cows should not be entered in the R.O.P.If a breeder owns purebred cows that a breeder that are not capable of qualifying! in milk and butterfat production due to a lack of inherited ability, I believe he should be the first one to know about it and to act accordingly on a sound culling programme.The Chateauguay Valley, to which you refer, has made an enviable: reputation for itself and I know of: no scheme by which the breeds and the herds in that or any other dis- | trict can build better for the future, than by taking advantage of the! services offered by the R.O.P.Yours faithfully, A.R.NESS, Professor of Animal Husbandry.Opinions Of

Hemmingford\u2014Official Announcement Expected To Be Made Shortly Within the near future, official announcement will be made by the provincial Government that a new super-highway is going to be built

Caughnawaga with Mooers, N.Y., which is considered a favorable spot to tap the heavy tourist travel that penetrates into the Adirondack mountain region, but which has been to a considerable extent halted there because of the absence of an attractive, speedy highway to the Canadian metropolis.The new highway will probably be not more than 30 miles in length, being in a direct line between the two points, and will eliminate many \u2018roundabout ways that now have to i be followed in reaching Mooers, involving another ten miles or so in the entire trip.It will be a divided highway, with

country of origin.More recently the department has announced that the requirement will not be put into effect until next July.Opinions expressed by a number of Canadian importers are to the effect
