[" Eee EEE paies ERNE TI CER a MA Ber Tn ae JGNOKANCE gives a sort ef eternity to prejudice, and THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER [MPOSSIBLE is a word only Plan of Events Lined Up Donald McNaughton Wins Place in Rotary Public Speaking Competition Donald McNaughton, son of Mr.and Mrs.M.M.McNaughton, and presently attending Huntingdon Academy, is to be the public speaking candidate sponsored by the Rotary Club of Huntingdon to speak before the Westward Rotary Club, Montreal West, on April 8, in competition with representatives from Hawkesbury, Sherbrooke, and likely a few otner centres.THe student scoring the best marks at this semifinal contest will go before the Montreal Rotary Olub, on Apri! 25.The four students addressing the Rotary Club were Donald McNaughton, who spoke on \u201cPublic Speaking\u201d; Stewart Beattie on \u201cOur Parents, Principally Dad\u201d; James Robb on \u201cWhat About Us\u201d and William Peltarl on \u201cDeciding on One's Right Work.\u201d The scoring was done according to à set score sheet sent out by Rotary for such judging.All three judges named and one unofficial Judge were unanimous in their Judgment in favor of Donald Mc- Naughton.The scortng amongst all four boys was very even.Girl Guides are on the .high road to coming into a reality in Hunt- ingdon.They have already set up | their organization with Miss Timm assuming the\u2018 leadership.The Rotary Club voted $25 to be sent the Girl Guides treasurer, Mrs.W.K.Pope, which can be used for incidental expenses they will certainly have in getting started.To Erect Road Signs S.J.Currie is to have three Rotary road signs made which are to be posted on Highways 52 and 4 near Huntingdon.Two Rotarians are to explore the possibilities of obtaining band instruments for the benefit of the Boys' Band.Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Week, set apart by Rotary International, is April 27 to May 4.At the next meeting of the Rotary a suggested program for that week is to be introduced by the Community Service Committee headed by W.K.Pope.It is highly probable something special will be promoted by Rotary for the benefit of the Boy Scouts, Cubs and Girl Guides.It is also likely the ball diamond will be put into action that week, Next week The Gleaner will likely be able to give a more definite report on what is hoped to be achieved during that particular week.4 Ormstown\u2019s June 5-8 Show Organized Early Expect to Beat All Previous Records of Show Commenced in 1910 Never before have the officials of the Ormstown Exhibition commenced as early, laid plans as carefully, or felt so enthusiastic about a forthcoming show as they do this year, and today completed their fifth meeting in advance of the 1946 renewal of the \u201cbest in livestock world\u201d show.Actually plans for the show and the date were decided at the annual meeting of the Live Stock Breeders\u2019 Association of the Ditrict of Beau- harnois, on November 28, in the Ormstown town hall.At that time a directorate of the following officials was elected: Messrs.Gilbert McMillan, Huntingdon, Que.; Donald E.Black, M.P., Aubrey, Que.; Douglas Ness, Howick, Que.; A.A.McCormick and W.R.Graham, Ormstown, Que,, directors.Then followed a second meeting to \u201cset\u201d the exhibition and Mr.Gilbert McMillan was named exhibition president; Donald Black, M.P,, 1st vice-president; Doug.Ness, 2nd vice-president, and W.G.McGer- rigle, secretary-treasurer.Dates Are Sanctioned The next meeting was a conference in Montreal attended by high officials in the American Horse Show Association, including Vernon G.Cardy and H.J.O'Connell, and heads of many of the leading riding clubs and associations, and the following week Ormstown was represented at New York and the official dates were sanctioned by the American Horse Show Association.The next step was the meeting in Toronto co-operating with the Canadian Horse Shows Asociation, and the conference to decide upon the attractions at the Fair Asociation meeting there.Next a meeting back in Ormstown was recently held to iron out the general program for what is planned to be the \u201cbiggest show in history\u2014 we won't settle for less,\u201d according to Douglas Ness, who feels particularly enthusiastic about this year's prospects.This week another meeting will be held and by that time, according to President McMillan, \u201cthe meetings will be over and we will be going ahead under a full head of steam to put on the finest show we know how.\u201d Early Enquiries What is amazing the exhibition committee is that they are already receiving enquiries concerning entries for the show, which is at a record early date as far as the 36 year history of the show would reveal.Junior farmers are urged to prepare now for the juror judging work as there will be an increased number of classes in the junior competitions and together with this will be an increase in the prize money and the prizes.Among the trophies to be competed for are the following: RE-ENLISTS IN R.C.A.F.Norman W.Dawson, son of Mr.and Mrs.J.A.Dawson, of Sutton, Que., formerly of Huntingdon.Norman was discharged in April 1945, and was placed on the \u2018reserve list of the RCAF.He reported for duty March 25, and will be stationed at Trenton, Ont.~ Budge Memorial, Kiwanis, Ottawa Farm Journal, Alvin Ness Memorial, Ringside Club and the Holstein Club.There will be over $450 in prize money to go with these trophies in the various classes, More later when fuller details are known.In the meantime, the advice of the officials to the juniors is to get their exhibits prepared and brush up on their knowledge of judging.Holstein Breeders\u2019 Convention The Quebec Branch of the Hol- stein-Friesian Association of Canada rccently held its annual meeting in Montreal under the presidency of W.A.Hodge, Ville St-Laurent.This society has 1,251 members who registered 6,365 head of cattle in 1945.The National Association received $20,172 last year from these members, which is concrete proof of its importance.Secretary-treasurer, H.Lajoie emphasized the importance of local breeding clubs in his annual report.There are 15 of these clubs in existence and, upon opportune occasions, they or£anize field days, exhibitions, auctions, \u201cBlack and White\u201d field days, etc.Their full support is always given to the Quebec, Lachute, Ormstown and Sherbrooke Fairs.Important Papers During the convention important papers were presented: the problem of Bang's disease, by Dr.J.Labelle; the market situation, by Henri C.Bois; the future of the General Breeders\u2019 Society, by R.P.Sabourin; milk tests, by Messrs.G.M.Clemens and C.L.Goodhue.Addresses suitable to the occasion were given by the mayor of Montreal, Camilien Houde, the Hon.Antonio Elie, Minister; Dr.Chas.Sevenster, Consul for Holland; G.DeLeFerriere, vice- consul for Argentina; Rev.Father Donat Godin and W.A.Hodge.During the banquet, successful breeding certificates were awarded to Rev.Father J.A, Lemay, Seminary of Ste-Theresa; to the Rev.Brother Eloi, agronomist of the Agricultural School of St-Cesaire, and to Messrs.H.L.Guilbert, Vercheres; William Bousquet, La Presentation, and T.Cleland, La Tuque.The following officers were elected for 1946: Messrs.Paphnuce Bonin, Notre Dame de Lourdes, president; J.A.Brown, Huntingdon, vice-pre- sident; directors: Messrs.W.A.Hodge, St.Laurent; Hon.Antonio Elie, La Bale; C.L.Goodhue, Vau- dreull; Rev.Father Donat Godin, Montreal; Jules Montour, Three Rivers; Donat Giard, Ste.Rosalie.Mr.Hermas Lajoie was re-engaged as secretary, and Mr.Jean Real Proulx, agronomist, was appointed propagandist.Issue New Pamphlet On Roses of Canada The rose is probably the oldest flower in cultivation, says R.W.Oliver, Division of Horticulture, Dominion Department of Agriculture, in his introduction to.publication 777 on \u201cOutdoor Roses in Canada\u201d, just published by the Department.No one can tell when the rose was first introduced into gardens, but, in the Bible, in Greek mythology, and in the writings of the early Romans, frequent mention is made of its cultivation.There is neither description nor pedigree of these old roses, but about 45 B.C.Herodotus wrote of a rose with 60 petals, so that even by that date the rose had developed considerably from the five- petaled species native to Asia, Europe, and America.Everything about outdoor roses in Canade and how to grow them will be found in the publication, a copy of which may be obtained by writing to Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, particulars of this will be announced .Commencing at an early date Faw- cett & Grant Limited intend to run three continuous shifts of eight hours each at their mill in Hunt- ingdon.On account of increased production in the weaving department, it will be necessary to sharply expand the burling and mending facilities, To accomplish this, it has been decided to open a burling and mending department at Howick, Que.A building known as the late Wm.Robertson's Store, Howick Station, has been secured for this purpose and is at present being altered so as to accommodate twelve burling tables.It is expected that within a few weeks, employment will \u2018 be found for twelve girls in this Howick branch of Fawcett & Grant Ltd.T.E.P.Pringle Passes in Chicago It is with deep regret that we publish the announcement of the death of one of Huntingdon's well-known and respected citizens in the person of the late T.E.P.Pringle, of 6230 North Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, US.A., who died on Sunday, March 24, at his home.The late Mr.Pringle was born at Huntingdon, Que.,, on May 1, 1887.After graduating from Huntingdon Academy he entered the service of the Canadian National Rallways as city passenger and ticket agent at Meeting at Dundee School Over Thirty of Chateauguay Valley Teachers Gathered For Discussions The teaching staff of the Dundee Consolidated School, the Misses Mary Sutherland and Helen Small- man and Mr.Gordon McGibbon, entertained the Chateauguay Valley Teachers\u2019 Association in the school auditorium last Thursday evening.Over thirty teachers were in attendance representing the How- ick, Ormstown and Huntingdon Schools, the Athelstan Intermediate School and also Elgin Public Schools.The president, Miss Elsie Salter, called the gathering to order and as the object of the get-together was to discuss school problems, it was decided to divide into three groups, as follows: Principal J.B.MacMillan, Huntingdon Academy, Latin problems; Mrs.M.C.Walsh, French specialist, Ormstown, French teaching discussion; while the English literature was taken by Miss Doris Fraser of Howick High School, replacing Mr.King, also of How- ick, who was unable to attend.Miss Fraser had with her a record player and presented selections from \u201cMacBeth\" with short readings between records.Excellent Paper Mrs.M.C.Walsh prepared an excellent paper on French teaching, some extracts from which are as follows: Authorities on school instruction are expressing deep concern over the poor showing by English pupils in their progress in French.There have been suggestions thet an additional centre of training with a purely French background be established in the province as a remedy for the situation.Said Mrs.Walsh, it is important to teach pupils to realize that French is one of the most beautiful languages in the world with a wealth of wonderful literature\u2014a worldwide language of cultured people and not a \u201cpatois\u201d spoken by the illiterate who probably left school at grade IV.What heartaches and disappointments await the hard-working teacher of a modern language! Do you ever say to yourself, why did I ever enter this field?But be con- soled\u2014perhaps your results may be more far-reaching than you know.Your reward will be the ex-pupll who comes and tells you of the better position he obtained because of his knowledge of another language.After the discussion period, delicious refreshments were served to all the guests by the local teachers, assisted by a few others, who kindly assisted for the occasion.A vote of thanks was extended to the Dundee group for their hospitality by Mr.Farquharson, of How- ick.Miss Mary Sutherland, principal, made a suitable reply, and Miss Elsie Salter then proposed the singing of \u201cFor They Are Jolly Good Fellows,\u201d in which everyone heartily Joined, thus bringing a very pleasant evening to a close.+ + + The Late T.E.P.Pringle + + + Winnipeg, in 1911.He became general agent at Montreal, in 1926, and two years later was transferred to Boston as general agent of the Can- adion National-Grand Trunk Rail- of the Central Vermont Railway.He was appointed acting passenger traffic manager at Chicago in 1943, and the following year became passenger traffic manager.The late Mr.Pringle is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.À | private service took place in Chicago on Tuesday, following which the body will be brought to Hunting- don, where final rites and interment will take place.A service will be held in St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church, at two o'clock, on Thursday afternoon.215 Names For School Honour Roll Forty to Fifty More Names Have Been Added to List In connection with the proposed Honor Roll and Memorial Tablet for Huntingdon Academy, 215 names have been received and checked to date.This list includes from 40 to 50 more names than were first listed.As no names can be added to the bronze tablet after it has been made up, the school authorities are anxious that all errors and omissions be carefully checked and that if any are found, those knowing of them will notify the school immediately.As soon as complete particulars are known as to the cost and how the tablet will be made up, these names will be required and they will then have to be complete.Before this happens a further list of the names will be published in these columns in order that the public may have another opportunity of checking over the list.The authorities do not wish to omit any name or to have errors in spelling or initlals, but this may possibly occur although the list is being compiled with all possible care.They therefore seek cooperation of all interested persons in avoiding such errors or omissions.A further contribution has been received during the past week from Mr.and Mrs.John A.Hunter, Hunt- ingdon, for $2.00.Until the real campaign for the funds gets underway, all such contributions will be gratefully received by Mr.J.B.Me- Millan, Principal.With such a large list of names there should be much interest in this scheme and the civic pride for the school should ensure the succes of the plan when the campaign is finally launched with a definite objective.FORCED HOLIDAY TORONTO.(CP)\u2014An explosion in the laboratory of Runnymede Collegiate here recently gave 800 students a holiday.The damage was small but the smell was awful! way and as general passenger agent | Through its County Units, the Provincial Ministry of Health and Social Welfare makes it its duty to teach people the rules which should be followed to keep well at all ages, taking into consideration the differences in constitutions, the different conditions of life and different professions.Every month, the nurses visit a certain number of families to point out ways and means of protecting their health.In January these nurses visited 13,181 homes.How many parents fear for the \"health of their children but let them be exposed to avoidable contagious diseases?Vaccination and immunization are sure and inexpensive means of preventing diseases such as smallpox and diphtheria.The Health Units are at the disposal of the public for this purpose.During the month of January, the health officers of the Province completed 2232 anti- diphtheric immunizations, Consequently, so many children need not fear this dread disease, The human body is like a dynamo.It is a complicated network of nerves, muscles, blood vessels and organs.Great care must be taken dof it.The secret of good health consists in getting the most out of this delicate mechanism without over-taxing it.Child welfare clinics and lectures on hygiene, given by the technicians of the Ministry of Health inform people of what must be done to keep! themselves and their children in: good health.For instance, nearly.1200 demonstrations in private homes during the month of January afforded our health officers the Synthetic Sound Revolutionizes Film Music?Néwest developments in the fleld of film sound show possibilities of creating an entirely new world of musical expression.Experiments with synthetic sound, conducted recently by the National Film Board, have led musicians at the Board to believe that in the future film music will be even more powerful and distinct than ever before, Ondinarily, music composed to accompany a film when played, is recorded as light waves on the sound track negative, This negative is developed and printed just as snapshots are.The resulting print can be subjected to a process which converts the sound track into the music as originally recorded.Over 15,000 Homes Benefit By Health Officer\u2019s Advice opportunity of giving mothers of families good advice.Over 1,400 prenatal visits contributed to the spread of infant hygiene.7.890 infants agd 5,213 children of preschool age were examined at 391 child welfare clinics.Nearly 12.000 of the latter children and 8,620 infants were visited in their homes.Those children all derive benefit from the lessons given on hygiene and preventive medicine, and the work done in January is repeated every month.Curlers Hold Annual Oyster Supper Presentations Made to Aubrey Club Members The Aubrey Curlers held their an- nua oyster supped in he rink club rooms on Monday evening, March 18.About 80 members

Industrial boom slated to begin early this spring, the high scasonal number of unemployed persons in the Valley- fleld-Beauharnois - Huntingdon district is expected to be reduced by at least 75 per cent, within the next two months, it was learned at the National Employment Service headquarters, Valloyfield, the past week, In issuing a report on the unemployment situation in this district, Leandre Ladouceur, manager of the local NES.office, revealed that of the 1,100 persons who had registered for employment, 950 had filed c¢laims for Unemployment Insurance benefits, While there were several reasons for the relatively high percentage of unemployed in this district of 30,000 population, the prime factor, it was learned, could be traced to the gradual layoff of approximately 1500 employees of the Defence Industries Limited plant at nearby Nitro, which ceased operations carly last fall, at a time when local construction work was coming to a virtual standstill, The industrial concerns which are expected to alleviate the local situation by an expansion program are the Canadian Schenly Comoration; Nicholas Chemicals Limited; Beacons Products Limited: The Merck Company, Limited, ail in Valleyfield, and the Zeyphr Loom and Textiles Company, of Orms- town, St.Patrick\u2019s Robb and Eric Orr.The runners-up namely, Messrs Ray Reddick, Morris Robb, Angus Black and Edgar
