R.R.Ness & Sons Judged Grand Champion At the National Dairy Show Ness Also Scores First in Senior Yearling Heifer Class in One of Finest Fields of Entries in This Class Ever Shown at National Dairy Show Bulls from the Chateauguay¢ Valley figured strongly in the prize winning classes as Ayrshire bulls from Canada won the initial championship for that breed in the first official judging of the 1940 National Dairy Show being held at Harrisburg, a.Burnside Barr Adjutant, bred and exhibited by R.R.Ness and Sons, of Howick, Que., received the color plague as Grand Champion bull among the Ayr- shires and also won the rosette as the Senior Champion bull.Le Moines Point Enterprise of the W.C.Pitfield Estate, Car- tiervile, Que., was acclaimed the Reserve Grand Champion Ayrshire bull.The second Grand Championship of the show went to a Minnesota exhibitor, F.W.Griswold, of Hopkins, who dominated the Holstein bull division with father and son entries.\u201cKing Bessie Korndyke Ormsby 14th\u201d captured the Senior Champion bull title and went on to win the Grand Champion bull rosette after his son \u201cKing Bessie Korn- dyke Ormsby Fobes\u201d had won the Junior Champion bull

Canadian National Exhibition, scored first in the two-year-old and under class 5 against a big field and was an easy winner.An interesting feature in connection with the Pitfield Reserve Grand Champion is that it scored first in the four-year-old and over bull class and beat Bois de la Roche Golden Glow, the Can- adian-bred entry of Shirley-Ayr Farm, Union, Pa., which won the Grand Championship at the National Dairy Show in Columbus, Ohio, in 1938 and at San Francisco in 1939.(Continued on page 5) Rifle Club Announces Match Scores Results of Annual Outdoor Shooting Contests The

shortly going on leave of absence, prior to retiring on pension.Mr.Sparrow began his banking career some 36 years ago when he entered the old Merchants Bank of Canada as a young clerk.Twenty- seven years ago he opened the Huntingdon office and since then he has occupied the position of manager of the branch, first under the Merchants Bank regime and for the past 18 years under that of the Bank of Montreal.Both by reason of his years of service and the esteem in which his judgment and advice are held, he has become one of our leading citizens.His retirement from active! duty at the bank will be a cause for | regret to his many friends, but after so many years of active service, no one will begrudge him his well- earned years of leisure and all will wish that the years ahead may be happy ones.Mr.Sparrow will be succeeded at the bank by W.K.Pope, à banker of 28 years\u2019 experience, from Barry's Bay, Ont.Mr.Pope is a native of Hensall and entered upon his banking career in that town.After eleven years\u2019 experience at various points, principally in Ontario, his first appointment as manager was at Walter's Falls.Following a two-year period at St.John's, Newfoundland, he was moved to Ottawa, where he was for six years accountant at the Sparks Street office.In 1936 he was promoted to the managership of the Barry's Bay branch, a position he held up to the time of his appointment to the bank here.Mr.Pope is a man who has always taken a great interest in community affairs at the various points at which he has been situated during his banking career.According to present plans, Mr.Pope will take over his new duties about the end of the month.He is married and has two children.FLY UNION JACKS The Union Jack hereafter will occupy the \u201cplace of honor\u201d

premises upon suspicion of possession of a weapon contrary to the regulations is clarified and enlarged by order-in-council made public recently.The provision now reads: \u201cIf any person reasonably suspected of having in his possession or upon his premises, contrary to the provisions of this regulation, any firearm for which a\u2019 certificate of registration has not been applied for or has been refused or cancelled pursuant to this regulation, or if the Attorney-General of the province is satisfied that it is in the interest of the public safety or the safety of the state so to do, and so directs, he may be searched, or his premises or any place occupied or believed to be occupied by him may be searched, for any firearm by any peace officer without warrant, and if any such firearm be found upon any such person or his premises, or in any such place as aforesaid, the same shall be seized and forfeited to the Crown to be disposed of as the At- torney-General of the province in

fire started in the boiler room while the ferry was in dock on the Valley- field side.The ferry.owned by the Beau- harnois Power Corporation, Limited, provided the only direct link between Valleyfield district and the Toronto-Montreal high- ruling.way.THE LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16th, 1940 QUEBEC CROPS GENERALLY GOOD Crop reports for the province of Quebec, particularly the Eastern Townships and Ottawa Valley are as follows: Wet, cold weather in early spring delayed operations, but conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons were favorable, and the harvest generally is reported to be equal to an average year.Threshing of grains is completed in most districts with an average outturn indicated.\" The hay crop was average, but the yield of fodder corn was below normal in many sections.Canning corn was a short crop and damage by the borer was extensive.Tomatoes ripened slowly and the yield will be below average.Root crops on the whole are reported to be satisfactory, with the exception of potatoes, of which the yield will be below normal in many districts on account of rot.Small fruits were plentiful and an average apple crop of good quality is being harvested, While damage to tobacco plants from grasshoppers is reported, an average yield is generally indicated.The production of maple products showed a substantial gain over last season.Pasturage on the whole remained good throughout the season and fodder is plentiful.Lower St.Lawrence and Lake St.John District\u2014Seeding and planting were later than usual owing to a backward spring, but germination was good and crops made rapid progress.On the whole, a satisfactory harvest is indicated.Grains yielded a good average crop.An average cut of hay was stored in good condition.Digging of potatoes is progressing and a better-than-normal yield is anticipated.Other roots promise well.Small fruits were abundant.Pastures have been in good condition throughout the season.Incomes of Farmers Are Now Higher Cash Income of Farmer 30 Per Cent Higher in 1940 Although farm prices generally have been only slightly higher in 1940 than in 1939, the cash income of farmers as a whole during the first seven months of 1940 has been 30 per cent higher than for the corresponding period of a year ago.This preliminary estimate of farm cash income has been made by the Agricultural Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.Practically all sources of income showed increases.In the case of wheat, deliveries for the first seven months of 1940 were 85 per cent above those of the similar months of 1939 while the price remained approximately the same.Income from the sale of flax was nearly four times as great because of higher prices combined with much higher deliveries.The cash received from the sale of meat animals was up 23 per cent for the period, with hogs making the main contribution to this increase.Despite the fact that hog prices averaged slightly below those of 1939, the greatly increased marketings resulted in an increase of 41 per cent in farmers\u2019 cash income from this source.The decline in cattle marketings was offset by somewhat high- :er prices, Dairy producers also received greater income from all classes of production.There was a rise of 30 per cent in receipts from cheese, 11 per cent from butterfat and from 5 to 10 per cent from fluid milk.In discussing the outlook for the balance of 1940 the Dominion Bureau of Statistics report suggests that it is not likely that the increase in income during the last five months of 1940 will be so great as was the case earlier in the year.While the increased marketings and higher prices for some products will tend to increase cash income, on the other hand restricted grain marketings will reduce income from that important source, ON TRIAL Frank Sam, Ogdensburg, N.Y, went on trial at Valleyfield this week in connection with running into a car driven by Mr.J.Brown- rigg, Huntingdon, at Howick last Friday.Serving in Royal Canadian Navy.C.E.Vallee, A.B.V.-5227, and R.M.Vallee, ABV.-5339, who are serving in the Royal Canadian Navy.They are the sons of Mr.and Mrs.Charles Vallee of 71 Selby Street, Westmount, Que, former residents of Huntingdon.Earl, at right, was born at Huntingdon en March 14.1914, and Roy was born at Montreal, October 3, 1817.Both were employed by the Johnson's Wire Works prior to their enlistment.Over 700 Men and Staff of 225 Get Set For Month\u2019s Training Youths Display Enthusiasm and Adaptability in First Few Days at Camp\u2014English Boys to Farnham They were a raw and polygenous lot of recruits who entered the Hunt- fngdon Military Barracks last Wednesday to commence their 30 days of training\u2014all shapes and sizes and with postures of varying degrees.The following day, however, presented a vastly different looking bunch of boys.Arrayed in their military outfits and full of keen enthusiasm to learn the lessons, they went through their paces in a smart manner which more than impressed even the officers.When questioned last Thursday as to the progress of the boys, the company commanders genuinely stated that they were more than pleased with the showing.The majority of the boys, who are from Montreal, came by bus.As they were unloaded at the barracks\u2019 entrance they were met by a trainee personnel.The guides took the boys in groups of ten and proceeded to the reception hut.The same guide remained with the same group until they were finally disposed of.From the reception hut the recruits were taken to the medical officer at the hospital.Here they were submitted to a medical test.More than 50 did not come up to specifications and were taken back to Montreal.One of the boys had only one arm, while there were various other physical allments noted.After medical inspection they were allocated to companies and to their huts.Following this they went to the quartermaster\u2019s stores where they received their clothing.This was a full outfit from the skin out.There was only one chap whom they could not fit.He weighed 98 pounds, was five feet, two inches in height and took size three in boots.The very smallest uniform in stock would go around him twice but he insisted on staying and said he would wait until they could get a uniform for him.Some 250 of the trainees expressed willingness to take complete training in English.The others needed French-speaking N.C.O.'s.There were 900 youths who came to the Military Barracks last Wednesday, and of this number 200 of the Eng- lish-speaking were despatched to Farnham.This left a total of 700 recruits who with the 225 of the staff, of which number 35 are of- {icers, made a total of 925 men.Meals Are Good Long lines of tables greeted the soldiers for their first meal in camp.They sat down to a meal of roast beef, potatoes, carrots or cabbage, tea, coffee or milk.brown and white bread, pie and cheese.Some of the boys were not so enthusiastic about the meals while most of them thought they were quite OK.As one boy stated, \u201cI find the meals very good.Some chaps will complain but they are those who have had it too soft and a little bit of army meals will do them a lot of There is much truth in this and it is: entirely likely that when the boys complete their training and go back to Montreal they will be a healthier and happier looking lot of boys than came here.They will be tanned and fit looking.Although the boys were naturally boisterous when they first came.this disappeared later in the day and the next morning they had more or less caught the camp spirit and were walking about keen and brisk, ready for their duties.Some of the boys went anxiously to the camp post office on Thursday morning in anticipation of a letter from fond parents.No phone calls for youths from their parents enquiring about their welfare were received on Thursday moming but this will undoubtedly be the case a little later on.Some overly-fond parents are said to have obtained a room in Huntingdon where they could be near their dear boys for a week or so until they were sure they would be all right! The first two days of the camp passed fine and there was every indication that the recruits would turn out quite satisfactory by the time the 30 days were up.Celebrate 25th Wedding Anniversary Mr.and Mrs.Laurent Dupuis of Ste.Agnes were pleasantly surprised recently when about 100 relatives and friends gathered at their home to help them celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.Miss Brunet read an address congratulating Mr.and Mrs.Dupuis on this milestone in their life.A presentation of a 100- piece dinner set and several pieces of silver was made to the couple on behalf of their relatives and friends.Mrs.Paul-Emile Leboeuf, on behalf of the family, also presented her mother with 25 American Beau- ty roses.Mr.and Mrs.Dupuis very fittingly thanked all those assembled for their kind and generous remembrances.Dancing was then enjoyed, and refreshments were served at midnight.All departed for home, after wishing Mr.and Mrs.Dupuis many more years of happy wedded life.Those from a distance attending the anniversary were: Mr.and Mrs.Paul-Emile Leboeuf, Mr.and Mrs.Romeo Leboeuf, Mr.and Mrs.Lionel Dupuis, all from Valleyfield; Mr.and Mrs.Emery Rabeau, Mr.and Mrs.Alfred Dupuis, Mr.and Mrs.Jean Quenneville.Mr.and Mrs.Hector Carriere, Mr.and Mrs.Andre Quenneville from St.Anicet, and Dr.and Mrs.J.E.Caza and family of Huntingdon.| A short but severe storm caused | Ormstown on

to | advices received by the Royal Automobile Club of Canada.Attention of the Government has been drawn to recent action of the Government in Ontario prohibiting bicycles on the Queen Elizabeth Way.the provinces new highway between Hamilton and Niagara Falls.Bicyclists were informed they could proceed at thelr leisure on the old road.When this arrangement, which has proved very popular with motorists, was drawn to the attention of the Quebec Government, a reply was received that the question was already under study.These new highways are designed for rapid transit, and it is felt that bicycles would be not only a danger to the riders of them, but also to other vehicles on the road.Former roads are adjacent to the new highways and are regarded as more suitable and safer for the bicycles.In the province of Quebec, the new super highways include the lakeshore and Ile Perrot highways, the Cote de Liesse divided boulevard, the Montreal - New York State highway, and the new divided sections of the Mon- treal-Sherbrooke highway.One Woman Industry in Huntingdon Although Not A Large One, Products Sold Across Canada Huntingdon has an industry about which one hears little, yet its products are shipped from coast Lo coast in Canada.The industry has a secret formula which is made up here, then packed and shipped out to Canadian customers.The head office of the company is in New York City.Most of the Canadian shipments are made to wholesale houses, which in turn sell the product to retail stores.The Province of Ontario is the largest consumer.The Industry is Lister's Lid.end is located in the building on the southwest corner of Bouchette and King Streets.In this building it has been localed since 1832, The company first iocated here in 1927 and at this time was located In a corner of the Baumert plant.The main product of the comn- pany is diebetic flour.This flour is used by individuals suffering from diabetes.Casein is used in making the flour and it is shipped here from New York.There are other ingredients in it but the company does not make the formula public.The flour can be used in mazIng bread, muffins, cake, doughnuts, THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER

different lot in appearance to what they were when they arrived last Wednesday and by the end of their 30 days they should have quite a foundation in the way of soldier training.Under the watchful eye of Lieut.-Col, C.C.Brooks and his capable staff of officers they are daily receiving their drills and lectures, A Yesterday was blue day at the camp for it was drizzly weather and prevented as much

S.MUNROE, HON.SECRETARY TEACHERS\u2019 ASS\u2019N.Many teachers from this district attended the convention of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers, which ended a three- day session on Saturday morning in the Montreal High School.C.J.Praser, principal of Alexandra School, Montreal, was elected president of the association.Among the officers elected was Mr.David 8.Munroe, principal of Ormstown High School, who was made honorary secretary.Before relinquishing her position as head of the teachers\u2019 body, Miss L.B.P.Truax, in commenting on the report of the public relations committee, urged that more publicity be given to educational matters and the problems of the profession than has been the case in the past.With reference to the thorny question of administrative and fi- nanclal matters which came in for some lively debate at this year\u2019s convention, Miss Truax sald: \u201cUntil the public is informed on administrative and financial matters, very little can be accomplished.There has been too much airing of our views within our own organizations, without addressing them to the public.\u201d DR.M.R.STALKER ADDRESSES THE ORMSTOWN P.Y.P.S.The Ormstown Presbyterian Young People\u2019s Society held their October meeting on Friday evening, Oct.11th at the Manse with an attendance of thirty-seven, Dr.M.R.Stalker was guest speaker at this meeting and gave a very interesting and educational address on the History and Development of Surgery.A vote of thanks to Dr.Stalker for his address was moved by Mr.Allan Cavers and seconded by Mr, Ivan Barringion.Ï im Speaks at Opening of Province\u2019s First Apple Juice Co-operative first co-operative apple juice and apple suuce plant the province of Quebec at Rougemont, Quebec, on Monday, Premier Godbout in the course of Lis address sialed that anybody in this country who preached dls- unity or raised the race cry was nothing but a traitor who should receive short shrift, The forthright Premier, in as ctralght-Mom-the-shoulder a speech as has ever been deliverad by a French-Canadian leader actually in office, delivered an Impassioned pica for greater understanding be- ween the two major races in this province, warning that it was not hy fostering sectionalism that the greatness of a country could be achieved, \u201cAnybody,\u201d he insisted, \u201cwho, in these days does not recognize what we all owe the British Crown and who doesn't known that it 1s Brit- nin, and Britain alone, who today Is fighting the fight for liberty and Christianity is\u2014a traitor.\u201d A crowd of several hundred persons from Rougemont and sure rounding villages In this heart of the apple-growing industry of Quebec probably expected the Premier to say little more than express pleasure at being able to officiate at the opening of this co-operative which is subsidized to a small extent by the Quebec Government, He did say that, and the crowd applauded.When he launched into what he had apparentiy come to say, however, the crowd cheered him on as, point by point, he listed the virtues and shortcomings of the population generally and urged all and sundry to educate themselves the better to face competition within thelr own country and from other lands, friendly and otherwise.\u201cLet us stop whining,\u201d the Premier continued.\u201cLet us stop this everlasting\u2014'the English have this, the English have that\u2019 It's not through repeating this chant that we shall ever get anywhere and it's not through petty jealousy that we'll improve the position of our country.Let us be brothers, let us work hand In hand for the greater rood and development of this, our Canada, yours and mine.\u201d The Premier said that education should become more practical than it had been in the past.There zhould be, for example, what might amount to vocational training so that youth would be fitted for whatever particular calling he appeared best fitted to follow.Canada had a large competitor in the United States, he said, and the Americans were an intensely practical nation.There were other countries, too, that offered strong competition to Quebec and the Opening the Dominion.Hence, Le argued, if Canadians wanted to devêlop markets they had first to be educated to know where the best ones were and then be sufficiently alert to questions of economics to be in position to offer better goods at lesser prices.Mr.Godbout also took the opportunity of asking the public at (Continued on Page 4) Lange Wednesday, October 16th, 1940 The Huntingdon Gleaner Published

October 16th, 1940 Why were the saints saints?Because they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful.patient when it was difficult to be patient, pushed on when they wanted to stand still, kept silent when they wanted to talk.and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable.(Found hanging in a church in Atlanta\".The Saving in D.S.THE Gleaner was unable to agree with an editorial which appeared two weeks ago in the Smiths Falls, Ontario, Record-News on the subject of Daylight Saving Time.In these columns the arguments of the Record- News for Daylight Saving Time were taken apart and they were not found to be all wool.In fact, the texture was rather flimsy.Since then the Record-News, in refutation, asks who saves the estimated $4.500.000 in electricity which was mentioned.We were just about to make the explanation when we glanced at the first editorial in the Smiths Falls newspaper in which appeared the one answering the Gleaner's volley.We realized that right there was the answer in Editor Dobbie's own newspaper, although apparently unknown to him.This editorial was headed \"Who Gels the Saving?\u201d and it deat with Fire Prevention Week.When a fire occurs, who profits?Is it the property owner who carries fire insurance for perhaps a half of the replacement value of the building?It surely isn\u2019t the insurance company that has to pay the claim for fire loss.Then.who profits?The general public is the one who profits by fire.The loss sustained by a neighbour induces everyone to consider their own risks and.if they have not got enough insurance, they will likely increase their fire insurance.Or.perhaps they will scrutinize their property and see to it that fire risks are reduced.Daylight Saving is a monetary saving to one who owns a building that requires electric light during the late hours of the afternoon.If the people start to work in such buildings one hour earlier in the day they will save one hour of electricity in the afternoon.In the case of such savings of electricity the monetary saving is retained in the treasury of the building tenant or tenants.As for homes it will be a case of people retiring to bed one hour earlier at night, according to the sun, than they otherwise would.Consequently the saving of one hour of electricity consumed for lighting purposes! It is these little savings, month by month, and from here and there, that make up the 182,000 h.p.of electricity saved in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.Editor Dobbie states that since Smiths Falls approved Daylight Saving, the peak load just changed with the time, consequently resulting in no saving to the Town of Smiths Falls.Certainly there was no change in peak load, nor will either the Hydro of Ontario or the private power corporations of Quebec find their electric load reduced.There is an estimated shortage of 200,000 h.p.of electricity today in these two provinces, If Daylight Sav- Ing is put into practice 182,000 h.p.can be saved from individuals and companies who will not miss it, thereby providing power for other potential customers.If the peak load in Smiths Falls is from 11 to 12 a.m,, it may be an hour later somewhere else.Thus it is surely plain enough that more people can be supplied with electricity if the peak loads of var- fous communities can be spread over a greater number of hours per day.Here in the Beau- harnois District, where a great deal of power is consumed, the peak load will be during the work day, not during the noon hour, whilst at nights many of our industrial plants use a tremendous amount of electricity for lighting as well as for power.A Centennial Number HE Owen Sound Daily Sun-Times has published a centennial number which does real credit to this enterprising city on the shores of Georgian Bay.A thirty-page newspaper profusely illustrated, well-edited and full of many historical stories concerning the early life of the district, together with messages of congratulation from individuals and business firms across Canada makes up this fine edition.One hundred years ago\u2014on October 7, 1840 \u2014Mr.John Telfer, appointed land agent under Lord Sydenham, then Governor-General of Canada, arrived by way of St.Vincent, after travelling by batteau from Coldwater, Ontario.He firat landed at a small bay at the harbour mouth where he was welcomed by the Indian Chieftain Newash and directed to the camp of Charles Rankin, who had been engaged in surveying the Garafraxa Road.that it was to be a great port of this company, an Ontario terminus of goods shipped from the Canadian West.Swinging trends of transportation have altered this somewhat, however.Despite this fact Owen Sound's har- N bour is a busy one.In addition the city is the hub of a fine farming community.This Georgian Bay city is the home of a man who is today figuring very prominently in Canada's war effort, none other than Air-Marshall W.A.Bishop.It was he who flew to Owen Sound with the charter when the town was made a city.The Fleming family, who own and publish the paper, are an old and highly respected family of Owen Sound.They also own the Cornwall Standard-Freeholder, which tri- weekly, we understand, may shortly become a daily newspaper.This forward marching is evidence of the progressive spirit of the Flem- ings which has made of the Sun-Times an excellent provincial daily.Red Cross Goes Over the Top EPORTS from various centres in the Cha- teauguay Valley showing the amounts of their collections in the Red Cross campaign indicate that the people are right behind their splendid work.For a time it seemed to us that the Red Cross was not going to get the support they expected.And the early returns would scem to indicate this.However, the home-stretch was a glorious one in which all rallied to the cause.The early hesitancy in giving to the Red Cross was credited to a number of reasons, one of which was German propaganda.And make no mistake about it, there was German propaganda out to discourage Canadian people from giving, such statements being circulated by them as the Red Cross does not use nearly the amount of money they receive for war work but instead it goes to salaries to officials working in the Red Cross.All of which, of course, is a dirty Nazi lie.just pure.unadulterated Nazi propaganda.In order to check on this a complete survey was made of where Red Cross money has gone in the past and it has been conclusively shown that only a very small percent goes to administration expenses, From the statements we have on hand of campaigns held in centres in the Chateauguay Valley there can be no doubt that the campaign was loyally supported.All of them passed their quotas and some doubled them.Beauharnois.for example, had a quota of $1,- 000, yet they raised $2,253.63.Valleyfield, whose objective was $3.500, turned in the sum of $6,249.Huntingdon, which included those districts designated as Upper and Lower Cha- teauguay, Godmanchester and St.Anicet, had an objective of $1,000, yet collected the sum of $1,483.91.Ormstown was called upon to obtain $720.yet they raised $1,012.56.Franklin, with $199, was included with Ormstown.Howick\u2019s quota was $470.and they collected $547.65.Hemmingford, which included Have- lock, Barrington, Roxham and Robson, garnered the sum of $451.40.We do not know what the objective for this latter district was but we feel confident that they, like the others, passed their quota.Dundee raised $215.The sum of $460.was obtained at Athel- stan, although its quota was $200.The grand total collected from these centres amounted to $12,673.15.And more will have been received since their supposedly final statements were sent in.That should be an answer to Hitler's propaganda! That should be an answer as to the confidence of the people in the proper administration of the Canadian Red Cross Society! Congratulations to the entire district on their splendid support.Drill Will Benefit Trainees HEN the young men who are at present at the Huntingdon Military Barracks emerge from same after 30 days of training they will be noticeably enriched by their ex- perience\u2014physically, mentally and otherwise, The majority of them, unaccustomed to such regimentation, will find it for a time difficult to get used to.So far, according to the officers, they have responded exceedingly well and have swung into military ways to a degree not entirely looked for at first.Further discipline, although seemingly irksome at times, will in the end prove beneficial to the individuals.Quite apart from the military angle the disciplinary life itself is most beneficial.The gaining of an \u201cEsprit de corps\u201d by these youths, the good conduct and the loyalty to one\u2019s companions they will learn will prove a valuable asset to them even though they are never called on later to serve in the army.At the Huntingdon Military Barracks there are circulars issued for the trainees to read.One that is not issued but the contents of which is given to the youths in a lecture contains the following pertinent paragraph: \u201cAbove all he must be highly disciplined, for by discipline alone can morale be maintained; it is the bedrock of all training.It is the ingrained habit of cheerful and unhesitating obedience that controls and directs the fighting spirit and is the backbone of a unit in a moment of crisis.\u201d Continuing, this details personal discipline and tells of seven virtues which avoid seven faults: self respect which avoids arrogance; personal honours which avoids touchiness; loyalty vs fanaticism; courtesy va insincerity; temperance vs bigotry; energy vs overwork, knowledge vs pedantry (boastful display of learning).It is pointed out that an officer should: 1, Bear himself in a smart and soldlerly manner even if tired.2, Dress according to the regulation of the hour.3, Study how to satisfy the wishes of his superiors.4, Be polite to his equals.5, Be considerate toward his inferiors, avoiding embarrassing intimacy or a patronizing manner.6, Be a good man at arms.7, Excel in at least one thing.8, Study the art of war, especially new things.9, Know and observe the rules and regulations.10, Keep physically fit and play games with his men.\u201cManners maketh man,\u201d it is said, and the army plans in every way to make mannerly men of its soldiers which is noticeable in those who have had military training to any extent.JAMES HAMILTON\u2014I understood John Hunter settled on the river by James Brown's advice and had to leave because Stanley Begg, a relative of Brown's, had got a deed.The Hunters then moved up to their old place.I remember seeing the Hunter boys working, grubbing out pine roots, on the new road to the Portage.The weather was hot, and they had only their trousers on.The first road was by the river bank, the second was the one I speak of, and the third is the present, One time.when haying on the point opposite this, it was so hot I took two shirts with me, and when one was wet I took it off and hung it to dry {while IT wore the other.When the country was all bush.there was no breeze and it was fearful hot.My first home, a mere shanty, not roofed properly.was near the line, run by James Cunningham\u2019s place.I think.Polliquin lived at mouth of creek on a lot owned by Ducharme, who lived somewhere in the French country.Polliquin never owned it.I lived on the hill where my son John is.when Brown and the young Scotch.I do not recollect his name.who ran three lines in Howick and boarded with us.Todd was at the Portage when I came, and was lumbering a good deal.It was mostly hardwood on both sides of the river here.We brought our provisions up from Montreal by way of the St.Lawrence and left them at John Wvlies.not knowing that we could get anything up by the Chateau- guav.A great many Indians came yearly at the fall; the point opposite was a favorite camping place.Their shanties were made of poles set in a circle and covered with birchbark, the smoke coming out at top of the poles.The fire was in the centre and they slept with their heads next to the foot of the poles and their feet to the fire.The men hunted and the women kept house.chopping up dry logs for firewood.They were not bad neighbors at all, but when they got drunk they quarrelled among themselves, and at such times we would see the squaws hur- rv out with their men's tomahawks and hide them.Afterwards they had a camp back on the Outarde, and long after they had one on the creek on Brown's farm, where they made a great many baskets.The squaws had blankets and the men dressed much as now.They always left in their canoes in the spring.There were no otter or beaver when I came.+ MRS.BLACHFORD\u2014My father.John Boyd, came from the North of Ireland, where he was a shoemaker and small farmer, having 15 acres.He came to this country owing to letters received from the Wilsons, who had been neighbors.He came out in 1831 and squatted on lot (where John is).He and his brother William were the first settlers on that concession.My uncle soon left and went to Ohio.There was no road.just a track.following the ridges from Hamilton's and when the swamp was reached stepping from log to log until our house was reached.It was all green bush then.The track led across our lot.My father's main hold was making ashes, and I have seen him working at it until midnight and known a thunder shower destroy a week's work.In 1837 he and William Hunter went out to Hemmingford with an ox team for ammunition, and ith was so cold in coming back that my father got a cold that settled on one of his lungs and carried him off.The farm was paid for after his death.There were great bush fires and one year we lost all our crop, and another the grain was drawn and piled next the Outarde.À road ran up the Donnelly's lot and out to the Ewe.It had been first opened as a lumber road.In wet The Beaver Misses Margaret and Janie Dunlop, Montreal, spent the Thanksgiving holidays with their parents, Mr.and Mrs.J.K.Dunlop.Corporal Harbison and Private Allan Tallon were guests of Mr.and Mrs.Lisle Watterson on Monday.Guests on Sunday at the home of Mr.and Mrs.J.C.McMaster were Mr.and Mrs.Bruce Me- Cracken, Mr.and Mrs.Francis McCracken, Brooklet and Mr.and Mrs.Clifford Murray, Hun- tingdon.Mrs.Harold Kerr and sons, Montreal, spent Friday and Saturday with Mr.and Mrs.Hugh Cameron, Mr.Joseph Aubrey, Malone, N.Y, spent Sunday with his aunt Mrs.Mary Reynolds.Miss Mary McMaster is visiting Mr.and Mrs.Thomas Brooks, Lacolle, Master Royce McCaffrey, Ath- elstan spent a few days recently with his grandfather, Mr.Dan Cameron, Misses Ruth, Alice and Mary Sutherland were week-end uests of their parents, Mr.and rs.Donald Sutherland.Miss Vera Lambert, Danville, was also à guest at the Sutherland No Da C .n Cameron spent Sunday evening with Mr.and Mrs.ernon Elder Vi .peus ane Me James Cameron urned ome Lowe Mass., on Saturday.5 LEE LE EEE REN SEL ELA EEL EBL Ll FI EE TT EL LT TE LT I TIL EE VTS PITTI TITTLE.IIR IRITLTTIL TIE Chronology -of - Chateauguay, Beauharnois and Huntingdon Counties as a aa en a ies ae TITRE TRY, From Manuscripts of The Late ROBERT SELLAR OT PY TOT I TY 2 5 3!

hence one of the worst forms of Unchristian Socialism, uskin gives us three divisions of Time with special reference to Art and Work in each period, Showing that their character had a close connection with religion, Those three periods he designates as Classicalism, Med- laevalism, and Modernism.According to the critic, the first confessed Pagan faith, the second confessed Christ, and the third denies Christ.As proof of a downward trend in reugious tone Ruskin says: Hear was direcuon to an up- hoisverer of tne early 13th cen- Lury.He is to \u201cwainscot the King's (denry III) ower cham- per, and vw paint that wainscot à green colour, and to put a border to It, and to cause uhe heads of kings and queens to be painc- ed on ue borders; and to paint on the walls of the King's up gate, employed, chamoer the story of St.Margaret, Virgin, and the four .ivangelists, and to paint the wainscot or the same chamber oI a green colour, spotted with f gold.\u2019 Again, the sheriff of Wiltshire muse \u201cput two small glass win- th dows in the chamber of Edward tne King's son, and put a glass window 1n the chamber ot our Queen at Clarendon; and in the same window cause to be painted a Mary with her Child, and al the feet of the said Mary a queen with clasped hands.\u201d Again, the sheriff of South- ampuon is ordered to paint the tavlet beside the King's bed, with Lhe figures of the guards of the bed or Solomon, and to glaze with white gloss the windows in the King\u2019s great Hall at Northampton, and cause the history of Lazarus and Dives to be painted In the same.\u201d You see that in all these cases, the very furniture was made to confess Christianity.It might be impertect and impure Christianity, but it was all that men had then to live and die by.Says Ruskin, if a thousand years hence, any curious investigator were to dig up the ruins of Edinburgh, he would think you had all been born heathens, Now that, so far as it goes, is denying Christ; it is pure Modernism.What do you suppose was the substance of good education, the education of a knight in the Middle Ages?What was taught to a boy as soon as he was able to learn anything?First, to keep under his body, yet bring it to the perfection of strength; then to take Christ for his captain, to live as always in His presence; and, finally, to do his \u201cdevoir\u201d to all men.Consider the influence over the armies of France of the ancient \u201cdevoir\u201d and modern \u201cgloire\u201d.Whatever evil was committed by governments, at least the authority of God's law was confessed in the mediaeval age, Ruskin asks us to observe that the change from religious to non-religious art had nothing to do with the Reformation, for the decadence of tone is seen not only in reformed England and Scotland, but also in unreformed France, Italy and Austria.He blames the deterioration upon one of the greatest artists, Raphael.This master of the 15th century was honoured by being called to Rome to decorate a very prominent edifice.Ruskin says that his work was the handwriting on the wall of the arts of Christianity.On one wall he placed a picture of the Kingdom of Theology, presided over by Christ.On another wall of the same chamber he placed the Kingdom of Poetry, presided over by the heathen god Apollo, thus elevating fancy to the same rank as faith.The perfect execution and the beauty of his work made him the model of all ) Le JRE ;

viewing beautiful architecture.And you've heard of that \u201cgood old family\u201d prop.What sayeth Ruskin?Consider whether we ought not to seek honour from our descendants more than our ancestors,

in wafer- like slices.It has one big advantage over other meats in that it can be kept for months in a cool, dry place.The secret of cooking this meat lies in \u201cfrizzling,\u201d which means merely frying the thin slices in butter, or other fat, in & real hot skillet until the edges curl and the meat browns lightly.Some people have an aversion to dried beef dishes because they are too salty, but this can be remedied by soaking the meat in boiling water about 10 minutes and then drain- g.An attractive way to serve creamed dried beef is to put it on a hot platter, arrange around the edge of the platter triangles of toast, and garnish with chopped parsley, grated raw carrot, chopped egg yolk, or green peppers.Potato chips or French fried potatoes are excellent served with creamed beef and mushrooms, either fried separately or cooked with the creamed sauce.Scrambled eggs are especially good combined with dried beef.The meat is frizzled in fat in a hot skillet and the beaten eggs and milk then added.Macaroni, spaghetti or noodles with tomatoes and dried beef make a splendid luncheon dish, which can be varied by the addition of chopped onion, green peppers Or chopped celery.Creamed
