Off While Testing Blasting Apparatus \u2014Premature Blast in Quarry A premature blast in a quarry at Melocheville on Saturday which cost the lives of two men and injured four others was termed an an accident by Coroner O.E.Caza who held an inquest into the deths on Sunday.Melocheville is five miles west of Beauhanois and ten miles from Valleyfield.Wiorkmen testing the dynamiting blasting apparatus at 5.15 pm.on Saturday set off a heavy charge of explosives which showered broken rock upon fellow-employees who had not been warned to leave the danger zone.Those fatally injured were Louis Lebelle, 28, of Chateauguay, and Wellie Turbide, 29, of Melocheville, \u201cThey died in the Valleyfield hospi- ta a few hours after their arrivals Among the injured taken to the hospital were Rosario Dubuc, 28, of Chateauguay, and Joseph Lalumiere, 42, also of Chateauguay, both suffering arm and head injuries, and Joseph Henault, 44, of Melocheville, shoulder and back injuries.Eldege Theriault, 25, Melocheville, was re- leased on Sunday after treatment {for bruises and shock.An investigation by Provincial Police Det.-Sgt.Laurent Forest who was sent to the scene by Det.-Lfy Albert Marineau was reported to have shown that 1t was the custom to prepare a series of powder holes and to test the electrical apparatus before setting off the blast shortly after 6 p.m.when the men left the quarry.According to information obtained by the police, Telesphore Poirier, 50, of Melocheville, in charge oi operations, called for a test at 5.15 p.m.on Saturday.The holes had been filled and the explosive charges wired while Poirier held both ends of the wiring in his hands.The electricity charge passea through Poirier's body, possibly assisted by the fact that the teste: was standing in a poo! of water anc set off the explosive before th workmen could be warned.After hearing witnesses at the inquest on Sunday, Dr.Caza returned verdicts of accidental death.Mayors Snowbound, County Council Meeting Postponed Mayor Lavallée, of Hemmingford, and Mayor Paul, Of Elgin, Have Trying Experiences as They Were The Only Members Able to Reach Huntingdon Due to Heavy Snow Storm\u2014Unusual Incident For the first tumc in years the regular quarterly meeting of the Huntingdon County Council had to be adjourned on Wednesday as only two members were able to reach Huntingdon clue to the heavy snowstorm which prevailed on Tuesday and Wednesday of that week.Mayor Moise Lavallée, of the Township of Hemmingford, took a day to reach Huntingdon and ihe same length of time to return home.He left his home in Hemmingford on Tuesday morning by train and arrived in Huntingdon on Tuesday evening via Montreal.The meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, consequently Mr.Lavallée had to remain here that day for this purpose.When 1L was known that only he and Mayor George Paul of Elgin, were able to reach Hunting- don of the ten mayors In the County, Mr.Lavallée decided to return home on Tnursday morning.He had to make the return trip to Hemmingford again travelling to Montreal and then to his hone.Train connections from Hemming- ford-Montreal-Huntingdon or vice versa are not too good and the Mayor had to wait in the metropolis until the latter part of the afternoon to proceed on his journey.He arrived in Hemmingford on Thurs- day evening after being absent for three days to attend a session of the County Council which did not take place.Mayor George Paul encountered much difficulty in reaching Hun- tingdon.Huntingdon was completely blocked with snow.He had to walk more than two miles as his horse could not get a good footing in the deep snow.After more than two hours in the storm, Mayor Paul arrived in Huntingdon to be told that he and Mr.Lavallée were the only members able to reach Huntingdon that day.The return trip to his home in Elgin was met with as much difficulty, stated Mayor Paul.Secretary-treasurer, James E.Rarrett was somewhat upset Wednesday morning as he feared Mr.Lavailée would be the only member at the scneduled meeting.The Quebec Municipal Code stipulated that in the event of not having a quorum, the regular meeting of! the County Council can be postponed if there are two members or more present at the regular meeting.Such was the case jn Huntingdon on Wednesday and the meeling was postponed to Wednesday, April 2nd, at which time, it is hoped, snow will not interfere with the travelling of the members to Huntingdon.Prophesy Good Run of Sap For 1941 in H'don County Farmers Anticipate Excellent Year in Maple Sugar And Maple Syrup Industry\u2014Demand Will be Highest in Recent Years\u2014Run Scheduled to Start Next Week Old-timers in Huntingdon County prophesy one of the largest crops of maple syrup and maple sugar for 1941.Although weather conditions have not been excellent for this industry until a recent date, it is expected that the quality will be good.Farmers in Huntingdon County are making pians for the run of sap, getting their shanty into shape, gathering the neccessary wood and preparing the buckets for a huge run of sap.It is expected that the run will start some time during the last week of this month and some have even forecast that the first good day of sap will be on Thursday, March 27th.Franklin farmers hope for another boom season in the maple sugar and syrup industry as they have many thousands of trees io tap yearly from which they derive considerable revenue.The demand for maple sugar and maple syrup is expected to be the greatest in recent years.Some farmers ship their goods to Montreal and other points in the province as well as in the other provinces, A few farmers ship a great quantity of their output to British Columbia where conidtions for the development of this industry are not favourable, Evidence that another Spring is advancing is given by the fact that sap's runnin\u2019 in millions of maple trees in Easterm Canada\u201470,000,000 it is estimated, of which about 24,- 000,000 will be tapped by about 50,000 farmers, for most of the trees are on farm lands.The sap runs best when the days are bright and the nights cold.Continued warm weather stops the flow of sap, so does a high, drying wind.Soinetimes a snowstorm will restore the flow if it has been interrupted.Prospects are for a good run of sap this year, as there has been plenty of snow.Last year the production of maple products was better than in 1938.The 1939 yield of maple prodults was 3,437,500 Ib.of sugar and 3,009,000 gallons of syrup, with a combined value of $4,209, 300.The Province of Quebec accounts for about 80 per cent of the total production of maple products with Ontario in second place.Only a small percentage of syrup and sugar is produced in the Maritime Provinces Seven Properties Are Sold For Taxes by H'don County Council Other Properties Previously Listed For Sale Settled For Prior to Date of Sale of Land For Taxes\u2014 > | a Municipalities Interested Seven properties in the County of Huntingdon were sold for taxes at the annual sale of land for taxes at the Huntingdon County Building on Thursday morning.The Quebec Official Gazette listed more than twenty properties for sale in February but all the interested parties except seven reached a settlement before the date of sale.List of es In the Township of St.Anicet, the Arthur Dupuis island was adjudged to Oliver Bonneville for the sum\u2019 of $49.15; in Elgin two prop- ties were sold.One, which was formerly owned by Margaret Nesbit et Al, was adjudged to Lauriston Lu- nan for $26.11 and the second property, previously owned by George Carr, was adjudged to Harold Mc- Lean, of Montreal, for $25.85.In the Township of Dundee, the Council had to take over two properties as there were no bidders for same.The property of L.H.Boisseau went to the Township of Dundee for $11.11 as well as that of Milt Vau- fer for $187.27.The Sarah Ann Poole property in the Township of Hinchinbrooke was purchased nv C.H.Cooke for $33.In Franklin, the Joseph B.Valllane court estate was adjudged to Abraham® Vaillancourt for $30.41.The above properties were sold to cuver municipal and school tax arrears, costs and certificates.James E.Barrett, secretary-treasurer of the Huntingdon County Council, was in charge of the sale, The road from Eigin to CARELESS DRIVERS CAUSE DAMAGES TO PEDESTRIANS The Chateauguay Valley encountered one of the heaviest snow storms of the year last Tuesday.Over the week-end mild weather prevailed to such an extent that the streets of Huntingdon were in a very slushy condition.This is the time of the year when you can show how good a svoit you are when driving a car.It's the splashing season.1t is probably impossible at times not to splash pedestrians, but there are many times when this can be avoided by being more careful.A fast moving car can very quickly move muddy water at a distance of more than ten and even twenty feet.Quite a number of people are liable to be within that range and get drenched.As a result of the careless driving of some citizens many dresses and coats have to be sent to the cleaners.It is very gratifying to some of us to realize that we are still active enough to anticipate or dodge showers of icy mud, but there are others who are less agile or more pre-occupied.Consideration to the pedestrians is urged at this time of the year.Tenants and Landlords Are Warned Justice Martin Issues Reminder to Citizens Living in Rent Control Area at Valleyfield Tenants and landlords in the municipalities of the Valleyfield area which were brought under rent control on Marcn 1 were reminded by Mr.Justice Martin, Rentals Administrator under the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, that the Board's regulations

time of the year when the ice on the Chnteau- guay River is not safe.There are all manner of air holes and some quite decp water in many spots.More particularly it is dangerous for any form of trans- pori, horse-drawn or mechanical.It is a known fact that the river and even Luke St.Francis are extensively used for travelling and transportation during the winer months, shortening the distance Lo a great extent in most cases.Citizens are urged to take note of the rapid changes in temperature these days and to avoid taking unnecessary chances on the river or the lake.Tragedies are apt to strike and may strike at the most unexpected moment, And the time is not far dls- tant when children should be kept away from the rivers and creeks, to avert the inevitable odd tragedy which occurs at this time of the year.Youngsters have a great in- stinet to wander when spring gets in the alr, and there are many danger spots around.CONSCIENCE MONEY IS RECEIVED BY STATION AGENT Adrien Tremblay, New

School a few days ugo to discusy problems of huportant nature io the students ind teachers in the Chateatiguay Valley.The guest speaker of the evening was Miss D.J.Beveright, whose subject was \u201cGeography the Core of the Entreprise Progranune\".Miss Severight explained that this enterprise and activity was notlhitig new and that many alert teachers had been doing it unconsciously for years, She suggested a very simple outline of subjects that could be followed from Grades III to IX where the teachers are free to do thelr own rating and testing, concluded Miss Severight, The teachers were divided into four sections: French, Primary, Intermediate and High School.Mr.Henry Welburn led the discussion in the French section.Miss MacPherson gave an address on a | phase of the activity programme.She used \u201cwool\u201d as the centre about which all the other subjects were correlated.Miss Marjorie Salter gave an interesting address on the organization and conducting of $13,306,000\u2014No New Repercussions Submitting what he termed a \u201cwar budget,\u201d Hon.J.Arthur Mathewson, K.C., Provincial Treasurer, tabled budgetary estimates of 883,- 580.077, reported a surplus on ordinary account of $3576,000 for the nine months ending March 31, and forecast a surplus for the full 12- month fiscal year 1941-42 of $13,- 306,000.No new taxes are imposed, none abolished or reduced.For the year 1941-42, that is the current fiscal term, Mr.Mathewson calculates on revenues of $83,941,908 and ordinary expenditures of $70, 636,127.Hence his expectations for a surplus of $13,306,000 at the end of March, 1942.However, as the treasurer noted in his speech, total outlays during the present year will amount to $83,- 580,000, leaving a net surplus on an over-all hasis of $362,000.Mr.Mathewson promised that not only would there be no increase in debt during 1841-42, but inasmuch as sinking fund requirements are included in the estimates, there would be an actual debt reduction of $4,- 897,770.Capital expenditures are reduced in the current Budget tp an estimated amount of $12,944,000 and capital spending would not exceed current surplus, the treasurer emphasized.Referring to the war, Mr.Mathewson sald that alongside its purely military aspect it was necessary now for provincial and municipal governments to consider its financial repercussions.\u201cThey,\u201d he maintained, \u201cwill be forced to do that which they should desire to do without compulsion\u2014live within their means.\u201d The world, he thought, was engaged in bankrupting itself to finance its own destruction, and more money was probably now being spent in Canada than ever before to build engines of destruction.\u2018\u201cThis building must go on,\u201d he sald, \u201cand wil go on until the powers of right triumph.\u201d Subversionists Warned Mr.Mathewson warned subversive elements they would receive ' short shift in the province of Quebec.Said he: \u201cSubversive agitators will make no progress in the province, and the peace and security of Quebec are the constant care of the Department of the Attorney-Gener- al.\u201d Anglican Church Property is Destroyed by Fire; Loss High Johnson and D.Lang Totally Destroyed in Zero Weather\u2014Army Men Combat Fire\u2014Overheated Pipe Believed Cause of Fire\u2014Insured For $2,500 and saved most of the contents in the Lang section of the house, The prevailing high wind and low temperature made it a trying time for the volunteer fire-fighters.The usny workers demonstrated their willingness to face the elements in order to accord a service in such a time of need.Thanks go to the Huntingdon volunteers and especially to Lt.Col.C.C.Brooks, OC.and members of the C.A.(R)IT.C.Smoke, fire and water hindered the firemen from saving any effects fn the Johnson scetion.The roof caved in shortly after two o'clock and tne threatening flames were checked with amazing rapidity by tne volunteer firemen.The walls of the home are all that remain.The flerre wind which raged at the time of the fire spread the smoke and flames with astonishing rapidity throughout the whole house and water wus sprinkled on the ruling until Inte on Tuesday in order to protect the neighboring houses.Pire-flghters were plentiful and gfcatly helped In salvaging the cone tents of the Lang home, despite the foro

Important and Timely Topics Rhythm Bands in schools, and demonstrated the use of each Instrument.In the High School sectior the speakers were Miss Isobel M fewen, Miss Elsie Salter and Mr.David Munroe.Miss McEwen gave a practical demonstration of the making of a buked Alaska.Miss Elsie Balter spoke on \u201cSome Essaylst and Essays\u201d and presented the subject on n light rather different from the ordinary classroom subject to that of friendly fire-side chats and the essaylst as a personal friend of the reader.Mr.Munroe discussed the question of changing the text In Grade XI's History course, He invited the history teachers to give thelr views on the subject, He discussed present, day history and other texts and the probable use of a syllabus for future use.AL the conclusion of these addresses, the president of the Association, Mr.Nish, thanked the speakers for thelr timely topics.The meeting adjourned and the Association will likely meet at the Huntingdon Consolidated High 8chool some time during the month Two Surpluses Are Budgeted By Mathewson, Prov.Treas.1940-41 Figure is $3,576,000; For 1941-42 Taxes Tabled\u2014No Increase In 1941-42\u2014Government Must Consider Financial a If the net over-all surplus of $382,000 is achieved, and Mr.Mathewson insisted that he was \u201creasonably confident\u201d that it would, it will mark the first time in many years that Quebec will actually be living within Its means.It will also set a new departure in that the province will meet its obligations without borrowing, except for the refunding of maturing bond Issues and the funding of the Farm Credit Bureau advances.Expenditures during the nine- month period ending the present month, included amounts paid into the sinking fund for redemption of the province's obligations, Totalling about $4,117200, this was charged as ordinary expénditure and met out of revenue, On this basis, consequently, the net increase in dbt was about 810,- 000,000, this being less than the actual cost of capital assets added to Quebec's balance sheet.Expenses Sharply Cut Actually we spent $40,000,000 in elght months, while our predecessors spent $68,000,000 in four months.In the budget speech of last May I informed the House that, in my opinion, the total expenditures for 1939-40 would amount to about $105,000,000.This, of course, was an estimate.The actual expenditures were $108,000,000.To offset this additional expenditure of $3,000,000, I am happy to be able to report an increase in revenue of more than $5,000,000 in excess of my expectations.The deficit is consequently $2,000,000 less than anticipated.These facts are shown in the public accounts for the year 1939-40 which were placed before the House some time ago.It is gratifying to be able to report that the current year's operations and the budgetary prospects for the coming year show a marked improvement in the financial operations of the province.Dealing now with the current year's operations, it will be remembered that the House changed the commencement of the financial year from July 1 to April 1, which 1s now the opening date of the financial year, and the present fiscal period was consequently reduced to nine months.I desire to place upon the record (Continued on page 8) THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER ° Wednesday, March 19th, 1941 The Huntingdon Gleaner Published by The Huntingdon

would be sane, safe to the investor.and to the best of his ability.In the more recent years he has been able to lend of his time and counsel to many local organizations and at all times he upheld his public responsibilities in a becoming and dignified manner.It is most appropriate that our Board of Trade should seize the opportunity of honoring Mr.Bowden with a farewell party at its annual meeting.This {farewell will take place at the Chateau on Tuesday, March 25th at 6.30 p.m.During the past year the Board of Trade has been active and will continue thus if it is given support by the men of the community at large.In 1940 the firm of \u201cSpinners Limited\u201d was established within our midst.The establishment of this industry in Huntingdon can be largely attributed to the Board of Trade and its connection with the Industrial Development Department of Shawinigan Water & Power Co.Another industrial firm that opened up in Huntingdon in 1940 was the company of Faw- cett & Grant Limited.True, the Board of Trade had nothing to do with getting this firm established here, but had the Board of Trade not exercised its efforts to get the Leach Textiles located in Huntingdon back in 1930, Messrs.Alex.Fawcett and Wilfred Grant would not likely have ever seen Huntingdon.In an indirect way we might say the Board of Trade can rightfully claim some credit for the establishment of this firm in Huntingdon.We have justification in believing industrial expansion will take place in tuis district, and for light industry Hun\u2018ingdon might rightfully expect to profit but we ca: only hope to attain such industrial expansion if the activity and united effort of our Board of Trade is exercised.Whether you are a paid-up member of the Board of Trade or only open to become a member, do your utmost to be present at its annual meeting.At the same time honor Mr.Bowden, who has been a worthy citizen and, we all feel, merits the promotion the Bank of Commerce is now according him.History of Corn Borer in Canada HE insect was found present in Quebec in the summer of 1926.Co-operative scouting by the officers of the Dominion and Que- bee Departments of Agriculture, during that season proved that it was present in Chateau- guay county, in the locality of Ormstown and St.Clothilde; in Huntingdon county, in the townships of Dundee, Hinchinbrook and God- manchester; in St.John's county, in the seigneurie of Lacolle; and in Hull county, in the parishes of Templeton, Eardley and Aylmer.This pest was found in Ontario in 1920, though it probably had been present there for some years previous.At that time it was found to be distributed throughout 35 townships in Western Ontario.Between the years 1920 and 1926, the insect spread with unexpected rapidity and now is known to be present in 242 townships, which, with 110 additional townships under quarantine and certainly infested, involves practically the entire corn growing area of Ontarlo, The rapid spread in Ontario, indicates that it will be but a few years until it will be found present in the entire corm growing area of Quebec.More important, however, than the rapid spread of the insect has been the exceedingly rapid increase in the numbers of the borer in the localities infested.In the counties of Essex and Kent, Ontario, in 1921 it was impossible to find the borer; by 1926 the entire corn crop was virtually ruined over an area of approximately 1200 square miles.This is a district where corn is the main crop.So severe has been the effect upon the crop from the point of view of the farmér that in the very severely Infested parts of these counties the corn acreage has been reduced from 85 to 90 per cent.Our municipal councils have been informed by the Quebec Department of Agriculture that @ campaign is to be directed this year to stamp out the European Corn Borer pest.The coun- cils have been asked to lend their co-opera- tion by giving their approval to a \u201cCorn Borer Week\u201d during the month of May.The councils are giving such co-operation, whilst St.Anicet is suggesting that corn be prohibited as a farm crop.It appears such a drastic action is still a bit hasty measure, for agriculturists claim the Corn Borer can be stamped out if farmers who wish to grow corn will co-operate and destroy the corn stalks of 1940.In 1940 the dreaded pest caused extensive damage to corn crops in Quebec province.Within a few weeks the corn borer, favoured by ideal weather conditions, destroyed more than 60© of the corn and their roots, which resulted in an aggregate loss of several millions of dollars to the farmers.If the necessary precautions are not taken this spring to exterminate this scourge, agriculturists believe the only solution will be the prohibition of the cultivation of corn.The Chateauguay Valley being a dairying section with a bovine population of 70,000 head of cattle, corn as silage is a very important crop; therefore it follows that the stamping out of this pest in 1941 is no trivial matter as far as we are concerned.Control of the corn borer rests in the hands of the growers throughout the infested area.To eradicate the borer from this area, the growers must co-operate through completely disposing of all corn crop refuse including stalks, stalk filled manure, old cobs, corn litter and stubble before June 1, 1941.This may be accomplished through feeding, plowing well under or by burning.During the \"Corn Borer Week\u201d in May.farmers will be expected to devote time to clearing the corn fields.Agronomists are to organize the campaign, but as Mr.Louis Pel- leticr, the Huntingdon Agronomist, has been transferred.it may be that his successor will be a bit at sea; not knowing all farmers it will be difficult for his achieving success one hundred per cent.Our Municipal Councils have been well advised to take action in respect to this pest and pass by-laws forcing growers of corn to destroy all remnants of the 1940 corn crop.The Quebec Department of Agriculture will have inspectors supervise the work, but it does seem an almost unwieldly task to expect inspectors to carry out in a thorough manner in such a brief interval of time.Our farmers have many organizations and it would seem to us that these organizations, such as the local branches of the Milk Producers\u2019 Association, might well take the matter in hand and enlighten every farmer on this important subject so that when the proper time comes to wage the fight on the \u201cCorn Borer\u201d it will he done effectively.Our Lady Knitters Go to Town HAT the Red Cross Society with its great number of branches across Canada and throughout the world has created a great number of good knitters is to be taken for granted.Yet when the various Red Cross Branches receive the knitting from the willing workers for the cause, a certain number of articles are not what the ladies regard as passable, therefore some one or other has to rip the article either in part or in whole and do the knitting over.We have been led to understand that in this section of the Province of Quebec the knitting is of a better quality than is produced in many sections, That, in itself, is quite a compliment to our willing workers of the Red Cross Society.All churches have societies of women who do work for the special benefit of their particular congregation.Sometimes these societies are known as the Ladies\u2019 Ald, Women\u2019s Association, The Guild, ete.Here in Hunting- don the ladies society of St.Joseph's Church is known as the Ladies\u2019 of St.Anne.These various societies of women do a great deal of benevolent work for local families that may be deprived of worldly goods; therefore they have calls for expenditures that require mon- * ey.In the local United Church one group of ladies of the Women\u2019s Association specialize on knitting and sell their wares for the benefit of the society's treasury.During the past week Henry Morgan & Co.Limited, Montreal, conducted a Service Knitting Contest.Huntingdon ladies entered this contest.with the understanding that what prize money they might be so fortunate as to win would go into the Knitting Fund.Of.the eight exhibits sent by the ladies of the United Church, five won prizes of $5.00 each.The Misses Melina and G.Murphy also entered this contest and likewise won prizes of $5.00 each.As far as we know ten entries of knitting were sent by Huntingdonians to Montreal for this contest and their entries\u2019 won seven of the thirty prizes awarded.This we fee] is a great compliment to the ladies of Huntingdon for their proficiency and skill in expert knitting.The local prize-winners were: Class 1, Army Articles\u2014Miss M, Murphy and Mrs.Robert Sellar, prize $5.00 each, Class 2, Navy Articles\u2014Mrs.A.A.Lunan, Mrs.J.R.Clouston and Miss G.Murphy, prize $5.00 each.Class 3, Air Force and Hospital Articles\u2014 Mrs.Ruby Munro and Mrs, John Telfer, prize $5.00 each.Prayer of a Great Man M A.A.GARDINER, General Passenger Traffic Manager of the Canadian National Ry., has been presenting some of his friends with a prayer which he has recently come across.At a time when every Christian is turning to God for help and guidance this prayer has a special significance.It was written by Admiral Nelson on Monday, October 21, 180> on board his flagship \u201cVictory\u201d just after he had given the order that commenced the Battle of Trafalgar.\u201cMay the Great God, Whom I worship, grant to my Country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and gloriaÿs Vie- tory; and may no misconduct in anyjue tarnish it; and may humanity after Victory be the predominant feature in the British Wet.For myself, individually, I commit my life: ta Him who made me, and may His blessing light upon my endeavors for serving my country faithfully.To Him I resign mysélf and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend.Amen.\u201d \u2018MR.FITCH (Continued) \u2014 Left

were 1,500 rebels in position, mostly armed with Indian rifles, which were served out by British Government in 1812, A stack of them was gathered at Beauharnois and burned.John Craik was sent with him to stay near St.Martine to carry despatches and keep witch over Canadians.Craik, some 6 feet 4 inches, and Fitch caused amusement to the French Canadians\u2014were very kind by getting them in at

was intended for the cellar of a house for Benj.Lalonde, who died.The stone he drew from the canal for it was taken by McNee for Robinson\u2019s house.I am positive that, at the turn at Brown's below the village, the Americans mistook their advance guard for the enemy and fired upon them.During the winter of '37 there was constant dread of Americans coming down.On Sunday a Dr.Paddock came to the village, ostensibly to sell ball tickets.In the absence of Col.Davidson.James Davidson arrested him on suspicion of coming to arrange for a raid, and kept him until he signed a letter pledging his word he would not do anything to break the peace.On his return, he wrote back offensively demanding his letter back.An incursion was arranged, of which word was sent by Mitchell, the storekeeper, to old Patterson.1st Concession of Elgin, who let us know.We turned out and posted ourselves in the bush at Baxter's meadow.awaiting them.I remember coming up I was halted by Rev, Mr.Walker, who was standing sentry.because I could not give the countersign.and was kept standing there for an hour.when he told me to go and tell Sergt.Rose it was time he was relieved! It was a cold night in January.I think.The Americans did not come; we supposed they had been advised of our being prepared.I remember all the incidents of the Sunday on which word came of the rising.Mr.Walker had got through the first prayer when a man came in and handed him a note.He told us it was advising us of the rebellion, and we were to go home and get our guns and ammunition and he would be ready as soon as any of us, and so he was, for he was soon stalking about with his gun.They were not\u2014Glengarries who came to help, but two companies of the Stormont Militia, who were followed by the St.Regis Indians.200 in number.a ragged.motely crowd.They were quartered on the villagers, and the chiefs.18 in number, were sent to my father's.They told him if given one room to themselves they would not disturb the family.That night one of them who had got some drink, came out of the door and, shaking my father's hand, said: \u201cMe brother; me Yankee but me fight for Queen!\u201d Like him, many were from the U.S, side of the line.I left with some two dozen soldires of Somerville\u2019s company, who were not ready when I started.I gave each 10 rounds of amunition and a horn of rum and shut up store and started on horse lent me by Wh.Smith of Ridge.Major McGibbon was afraid of a raid from Chateau- guay and being unwilling we should go, gave orders to the sentry at Hall's to stop us.Our drill sergeant.an old soldier, loaded his gun and swore he would shoot him, and being one man to 26, the sentry let us go.I reached camp that night, but the men did not get there until the next day.They had dinner at Durham.The barricade across the road was of square timber, apparently from some old building, and was not formidable.I was adverse to burning Perry's house, and carried out six parlor chairs: the carpets had been taken away.I was opening the pig pen to let the inmates escape when Mrs.Perry emerged from some place of hiding and gave me a great tong thrashing.She knew me, for her husband had kept store in Huntingdon.Though called \u201cdoctor,\u201d Chronology - of - Chateauguay, Beauharnois and Huntingdon Counties From Manuscripts of The Late ROBERT SELLAR liserereeoryr I doubt if he had any right to the title He was a big man and, I think, French, and brother-in-law to Baker.i» The morning of the advance I was at breakfast with the officers, having been invited by them.While sitting down, orders came to move.We went to the next house, carrying our food with us.No sooner had we begun to eat again than orders came to move a second time, and we finished in a third house, standing around a feather bed.Ammunition being short, orders were strict not to throw any away.so one day when a shot was fired an officer ran to find the culprit.He was an Indian who had shot a goose, He explained rather guiltily.\u201cWhite man like turkey.Indian like goose.\u201d 9t first we would look at nothing less than turkey but before the close of our expedition we could get nothing better than fresh pork and without salt!

in the loudspeaker.The buzz is the basis of the voiced consonants such as \u201cm\"\u201d, \u201cI\u201d, and \u201cr\u201d, and vowels, The hiss is the basis of the sibilant consonants such as \u201cg\u201d, \u201cth\u201d and \u201cf\", and whispers.To shape these fundamental sounds into speech, you make use of your palate, tongue, teeth, and lips.For the same purpose, Pedro has electric filters, each controlled by a key, which divide either the \u201cbuzz\u201d or the \u201chiss\u2019 into ten parts.Thus, there are 20 elemental sounds to be built up into speech.In addition, there are special keys for forming the \u201cstop\u201d consonants such as \u201ct\u201d and \u201cbh\u201d, a pitch pedal to enable the Voder to copy the inflections of the human voice, and a special switch for the \u201cvibrato\u201d, a fluctuation both in pitch and loudness which is used to make Pedro sing.By means of this keyhoard, the operator can produce the 50 different sounds in the English language, combine them with the proper inflection, and vary their pitch and loudness for singing.Some sounds require the use of as many as five different keys at à time.To make Pedro say \u201cconcentration\u201d, the operator must form 13 different sounds in succession, make five movements of the wrist bar, and vary the position of the pedal from three to five times, according to the expression she wishes to give the word.All this must be done just as quickly as it takes you to say \u201cconcentration\u201d.Pedro is just one of many devices constructed by telephone engineers to study the fundamentals of sound and speech \u2014 all with a view to constant improvement of your telephone service.{ No.1 of a series prepared br H.C.Quem, 1 om anada, Page Four THE HUNTINGDON GLEANEK Wednesday, March 19th, 1941 | : T, TTF PT LL I TT PITY vy A TTT TAY TYAN ISN a aN RIAN OTST ITD ee A SR AI I ERE I RNAI ILI : : - District News Notes - :the home of her parents, Mr.Roxham \u201cand Mrs.John MacDougall.Mr.and Mrs.Archie Speck and \u2018days in valleytield, Lhe guest of \u20ac y Tues .Miss Marjorie Goodfellow.son, Donald were the sue ts of Mr , AU A ans Paxton recently and Mrs.John Speck of Henrys- entertained the Upper and Low- burg, Que, on Sunday.\u2018er Ormstown group of the An- Mr, and Mrs.Joseph Coupal have!

Quebec Trains Youths For New Life Special Farm Training\u2014 A Varied Plan to Help Students\u2014Plan\u2019s Purpose Quebec is co-operating closely with the Dominion Government in development of the youth training program.Following the initial ex- \u2018perimental period of 1937-1939, steps were taken to put the work on a \u2018more permanent basis.To that end special appropriations were set up by both governments to finance the new and broader scheme.The aim of the youth training plan in Quebec province is to promote the \u2018vocational development of the iyounger unemployed men and women by training them so that they :may find for themselves a place in \u2018the economic life of the province.! With this end in view Quebec took steps to organize practical schools and to provide whatever facilities were needed.| | Plan's Purpose Broadened ; When the plan was initiated it {was designed as an unemployment {measure.It was recognized that |young men and women without proper training would find it extremely difficult to find positions for themselves.While the plan remains basically one for fitting the youth of the province for peacetime j work, it has been broadened, because of the exigencies of war, to training both young men and wo- \u201cmen for special classes of war work.; The agreement entered into between the province and the Domin- \u2018ion a year ago provides for several f schedules which, it is expected, will | benefit six or seven thousand young imen and women during the 1941- {1942 fiscal year.i One schedule has to do with the ,Occupational training of young men in urban areas.Emphasis is placed upon employment in manufacturing { plants, especially those engaged up- lon war orders, To that end the pro- lvince has set up schools for elemen- \u201ctary training in aviation motor mechanics and assembling of machines.Another school specializes in the training of young men to engage in \"the manufacture of heavy artillery, |as well as boat construction, | Special Farm Training Agricultural training Is covered.This has been broken down into a number of special courses: cattle breeding, maintenance and repair of farm machinery; drying cigarette tobacco; inspectors of milk products, farm hands, training to organize and administer rural societies, training in the preparation and preservation of sea fish, cultivating and drying flax and in the preparation of hemp.It is also planned, under this schedule, to provide young men in rural areas with training as garden- crs, pottery workers, cabinet makers and wood-carvers.The program provides for training some 600 young urban and rural women in domestic, hotel and restaurant service.A school for this purpose has been opened in Quebec City.This school also gives training to would-be seamstresses, cooks and in farm housekeeping, garden- \u2018ing, dairy work, canning and weaving.About ten physical culture centres have been opened throughout the province to provide physical training over a period of three months to undernourished youths whose health will not permit them to undertake daily work.Help for Students | Then there is a plan for student aid.Considering the needs of uni- :versity students and to prevent the less fortunate among them from interrupting their studies, the Provincial Government has submitted a plan to the Dominion Government for approval whereby approximately 60 scholarships would be created with an annual value of $150 each.The primary objective of this plan, as explained by Hon.Oscar Drouin, Quebec Minister of Municipal Affairs.Trade and Commerce, and under whose department the Youth { Training Plan is being worked out, is to free the government from the | burden of unemployment by estab- | lishing a permanent liaison between employers who need skilled and semi-skilled labor and unemployed youths seeking skilled work.col- !

Quebec Farmers Cash Income Roughly one out of every seven dollars of cash income received by Canadian agriculture in 1940 went to farmers in the Province of Quebec, according to returns of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.This was a better showing than in 1939 when one of every eight dollars went to Quebec farmers, \u2018Cash income from the sale of farm products for all provinces last year was $714.7 millions.This is the highest cash income since 1928 when sales of farm products brought $922.3 millions.The increase in 1940 resulted from a gain in marketing of livestock and livestock products.Quebec's Share Big Quebec's share of the farm cash income last year was $101.3 millions.This contrasts with $89.6 millions the year before and with $73.5 millions in 1936.The trend of Quebec farm cash income in the last five years with comparative figures for the Dominion follows: Cash Income-Sale of Farm Products Quebec Canada (In Millions of $) 1940 .0.101.3 714.7 1939 .89.6 702.8 1938 .85.8 647.8 1937.L2 22e 85.2 640.7 1936 .73.5 569.7 In the detailed returns for the Province of Quebec, livestock is shown as the ranking division of agriculture as far as cash income is corcerned.Dairy products are next in importance, followed by vegetables, forest products sold off the farm and field crops.The manner in which the 1940 cash income for Quebec farmers is made up, together with comparative figures for the year before, are set out below: Details of Cash Income 1940 1939 $ $ Field Crops: Wheat .380,000 446.000 Oats .2,069,000 2.044.000 Barley .807.000 1,328,000 Hay & clover 644,000 580,000 Total .4,010,000 4,398,000 Vegetables: Potatoes .4,018,000 4,458,000 Vegetables .3.500000 3.565.000 Tobacco .1,733,000 1,656,000 Total .9,251,000 9.679.000 Livestock Cattle .13,808,000 12,034,000 Sheep .1,264,000 1,274,000 Hogs .22,970,000 186,163,000 Poultry .1,532,000 1,353,000 Total .39,574,000 30,824,000 Over $100 Millions Annually Dairy Products: Butter fat .15,510.000 15,577,000 Milk & cream.15,636,000 13,742,000 Total .31,146,000 29,319,000 Fruits .1,515,000 1,718,000 Other Major Items: Eggs .2.319000 2,315,000 Wool .270,000 184,000 Honey .95,000 177,000 Maple .2,142,000 1,718,000 Total .4,826,000 4.394,000 Misc.products .1,806,000 1,606,000 Forest prod.sold off farms .7.830,000 6,580,000 Fur farming .1,310,000 1,139,000 Total cash .101,268,000 89,657,000 Dundee Misses Eileen Miller and Lena St.Ann, of Malone, N.Y, spent the week-end at the home of L.J.McCaffrey.Mr.Gibson Coyle, son of Mrs.Agnes Coyle, of Dundee Lines, left on Friday for Potsdam, N.Y., preparatory to his departure to Lakeland, Florida, to take up training in the Army Air Corps.Mr.Frederick Armstrong, son of Mr.and Mrs.Albert Armstrong has enlisted with the R.C.AF.He is stationed at Toronto and is employed as an accountant with the headquarters unit in that city.Winston Armstrong has also enlisted with the R.C.A.F.He is stationed In Western Canada and enlisted as a pilot.He has been attending ground school classes for some time now, Mr.and Mrs.Bill Penney, of Syracuse, N.Y.were week-end guests at the home of Mrs.Hattie and Mr.Lorne MacPherson.Mr.and Mrs.R.G.Stevens, Mrs.Archie Colquhoun, W.F.Fraser, Stewart McGibbon, A.H.Fraser, Willie Campbell, Miss Catherine Campbell, atiended the funeral of the late Mrs, J.W.Ross at Athelstan on Sunday afternoon.Mr.Howard Fraser has returned home after attending Macdonald College short course for six weeks, THE LIMIT!

Plants Noted in Survey For more than a ycar Quebec's manufacturing industries have been \u201coperating all-out in order to meet | wartime demands.Existing plants | have been enlarged.Many large new wartime industries have been established.Employment has increase: substantially.Production has advanced to a point where the annual value of output is far in advance of that ever previously reported.| Every branch of industry has been affected by the changed set of con- | ditions.Capacity operations have | been and are the rule in such fields of manufacturing as iron and steel, | textiles, machinery, clothing, boots rand shoes.meat packing, smelting and refining, ete.Other sections have not lagged.As a result the composite picture of manufacturing in Quebec is one of tremendous ac- \"tivity.Create War Industries Probably the most notable feature of manufacturing in the province over the past year has been expan- slon of existing industries supply- Ing essential war materials and the construction of new plants.The great nlumintum works of Quebec have been doubled and again tdoubled.The power industry has had to expand its productive facilities in order to keep pace with the demand for electrical energy.The iron and steel mills have greatly expanded, and so, too, have the industries assoctated with non- | ferrous mining and smelting.Purely war-time industries, such as explosives, shell-filling.ete , have been set up to meet special requirements.In certain respects the great in- \u2018dustrial resources of Quebec have I been called upon more than those in other provinces to meet war con.\"ditions.The availability of raw materials, ample power reserves, labor supplies and exceptional transportation facilities, have Influenced the Government.in establishing many of ithe new war industries in Quebec.i Holds Key Position .Ordinarily Quebec accounts for {bout 307 of the Dominion\u2019s industrial output.Tt has achieved this \u2018highly important position more on \u2018account of large individual indus- stries than because of diversification inf industrial operations., The Quebec section of the pulp {and paper industry, for example, in \u2018addition to supplying about 10°7 of \u201cthe total gross value of all products \u2018manufactured in the provinee, furnishes about.47°: of the Dominion's i total for this industry.The ratios of output In other Quebec industries to \"production in the country as a whole are: Cotton varn and cloth, approximately 697.Railway rolling stock 4877, Tobacco produets 85°.Women's factory clothing 66\".shoes 6177.Leather boots and ! 40 Major Industries .The predominance of the foregoing industries is not to be denied, yet it is noted that Quep~c province can hoast of 40 industries with an ; annual production value in excess jof $6 millions each.As already mentioned.one industry alone accounts for ahout 10% of the province's total | manufacture, yet the degree of diversification compares relatively fav- [ orahly with that reported in other | provinces of the Dominion.| According to the most recent re- {turns released by Ottawa there are over 8.650 industrial establishments |in Quebec.in which the capital investment totals $1,146 millions.! S980 Millions Output In the last year for which complete returns are available, 1938, these plants had a gross value of production In excess of $080 millions, of \u201cwhich sum $518 millions represented the cost of materials and $213 mil- \u2018lions salaries and wages.| Pulp and paper is well in the lead \u2018as the most important manufactur- line activity in the province.The out- | put of this industry increased substantially in the past year both in [respect to volume and dollar value \u2018of sales.This was due in part to the reallocation of world newsprint markets following the shutting off \u2018of the Scandinavian producers.Non-ferrous mining and smelting has rapidly come to the fore in recent years and now ranks second as the most important Quebec industry.This branch of manufacturing recorded a sharp expansion in operations last year and it 1s possible returns for 1940 will show this industry within striking distance, if not topping, pulp and paper.Cotton yarn and cloth ranks as third most important Quebec industry.Actually the textile industries collectively represent the leading manufacturing activity in the province.Tobacco ranks as fourth industry, followed by the highly seasonal railway rolling stock industry.Over the past two years the latter industry has greatly broadened its ; activity, providing greater stability lof operations.| Butter and cheese, petroleum pro- \u2018ducts and meat packing go to make up the balance of the 10 leading in- \u2018 dustries.} Six Industrial Areas Industrialization of Quebec has been largely confined to ahout six principal areas.To the west Is the Ottawa Valley centring around Hull., Here are large power developments, paper plants, lumbering mills and \u2018other industrial establishments.A short distance to the east Is Montreal, one of the principal manufacturing centres of the Dominion ; and headquarters for the two trans- \u2018continental railways.This, com- , bined with the fact that Montreal is | the leading seaport of the country, : has been instrumental in establishment of a number of industries doing national and international business.New England of Canada Farther east and to the south are , the Eastern Townships, sometimes | referred to as the New England of Canada.Development of this section has been an outstanding chapter in the industrial history of the Dominion.In this section will be found the centre of the Canadian Quebec\u2019s Industries on All-Out Basis; Plants in Province Step Up Work to Wartime Scale | Quebec Accounts For 30%% of Dominion\u2019s Industrial | Output\u2014War Materials and Construction of New silk and asbestos industries, with pulp and paper plants, lumbering mills, textile mills and a host of other specialized industries well represented.On the north shore of the St.Lawrence, in the territory around Three Rivers, Shawinigan Falls and Cap de la Madeleine, is another section of major industrial Importance.The pulp and paper industry is located here in full force.There are many other manufactures, including chemicals, textiles, Cellophane, etc.This area has heen recelving increased attention of late years, due, largely, to the availability of large supplies of low cost power, and has attracted many new industries.The fifth industrial area of the Dominion radiates from Quebec City.-an tmportant port and distribution centre.The availability of low cost power, raw materials and unexcelled shipping facilities have given an added importance to this The newest manufacturing district in the province is that of the Lake St.John-Saguenay region.Since 1920 this section has attracted tens of millions of new capital in the form of such major manufacturing projects as bake St.John Pawer and Paper Co.Consolidated Paper Corp.Saguenay Power Co.Aluminum Power Co, and the vast Aluminum Co.of Canada development at Arvida.Nearly one-half of Quebec's manufacturing activities are centred in Montreal; the proportion is even greater if the Greater Montreal area is taken into consideration.There are, however, at least a dozen other major industrial centres, Through the instrumentality of the power companies, many large sized communities have been established in various communities within ensy transmission distance of power plants, or where labor or other local conditions are especially favorahle.Obituary The Late
