ORONO HOMECRAFTS GUILD Regular classes on Nutrition, Home Management and Sewing, "abdicated" in favor of the Hand- crafts class, Wednesday. The entire evening was given to a guest speaker from Toronto, Mrs. Grace L. Knott, who gave an ex- cellent talk on and demonstration of English. Smocking. Mrs. Knott is one of the foremost authorities on this subject, hs written a book on it, and conducts a school where it is taught in Toronto. Mrs. Webb daughter!in-law of Mrs. Knott, and an instructress at this school was also present and, assisted in giving individual help and in- struction during the class. , Mrs. Knott gave an outline of the history of smocking, empha- sizing that it is a handcraft and not an embroidery. It actually originated in Italy, being used on priest's robes, altar cloths, etc. In earlier days in England, a man's trade was designated by the pattern on his smock. For example, a shepherd would; have a design of little lambs and shep- herd's' crooks, a butcher, a chop- ping block, etc. Mrs. Knott learn- ed the art of smocking as a small child in England and, as is the case in all European arts, the training was very rigid and ex- acting. Those present had the privilege of previewing four colored plates of smocking designs, which Mrs. Knott is having copyrighted in Canada, England and the U.S.A. These plates cost $240 eacþ to produce and as soon as the copy- rights are received the patterns for these designs will be for sale. The display of children's dres- ses smocked by 'Mrs. Webb brought forth many expressions of approval and, great interest was shown in them. Different aven- ues for the use of smocking were outlined, too, from baby dresses to evening gowns, and interesting variations of pattern lines were sketched. The Guild was fortunate in be- ing able to have Mrs. Knott and Mrs. Webb here, and are sure to benefit by their visit. Mrs. Knott said she had enjoyed the evening immensely, and that while that was her first exper- ience with an out-of-town class, she plans to include this service in-her work in the near future. The book written by Mrs. Knott "How to do English Smock- ing," as well as the dots and pat- terns may be bought or ordered through Mrs. L. Reid, at "The Gift Shop," Orono. Clarke School Area Annual Meeting Hears Gratifying Reports Clarke Township School Area held a very unique annual meet- ing, Nov. 20th. The purpose was to review the year's work, dis- cuss future needs and arrange for the nomination of Trustees. It was felt that to hold nominations on the same day and time as the township would not give the area a fair chance and there could not be the careful consideration ne- cessary for such important work. The meeting took the form of a pot Juck supper and it can be truthfully said that this part was a masterpiece. After the supper each trustee gave a report of his stewardship and Mr. Carleton, our Inspector, spoke in the highest terms of the work done by the Board. The Secretary told of some of the things done during the year such as the installation of an oil burning furnace in one school, the complete painting job on another, the letting of a contract for elec- tricity for another and the in- stallation of sanitary toilets in an- other. The area also for the first time supplied all school needs for use by the pupils. In spite of all this the finances are in good shape. This meeting afforded. the be§t opportunity to give all the infor- mation the people needed and everybody went away well pleas- ed, so much so that the people urged that the same procedure be followed next year. George Morton and Wesley Woods were nominated as new trustees.

W. Bourne and, Mr. Tom Lewis present. This occasion was a trial affair to mea- sure the support a Teen-age Reeve and Council could expect in Clarke both in numbers and en- thusiasm and as such was very gratifying. About 60 young people turned out and to all appearances en- joyed themselves in the many no- velty and spot dances. The spon- sors noted, however, that it was quite an effort to get some of those present to join in the fun, but upon the arrival of one or two older teen-agers who sin- cerely wished the party to click and worked at it, the evening suddenly came to life. Coffee and doughnuts were served at ten and, the fun continued until 11:15. During a pause in the dancing Teen-ager Reeve Chatterton asked for the approval of the meeting on the appointed Reeve and Council until Teen-township was sufficiently strong to have their first election. This approval was given whole-heartedly. The Reeve explained the dividing of the township into North, South, East and West wards with a Council- lor for each, taking as the centre the town hall, Joyce Tennant for North ward, Helen Wood, South; Bétty-Ann Bourne, West, and Mont. Richardson East. Member- ship cards will be ready for the New Year and the age limit for membership must be 13 to the 20th birthdiay. Older young peo- ple although not eligible for mem- bership are needed and most cor- dially invited. Teen-township is most grateful to the Council for providing the place, Mr. Ted Woodyard and Mr. Howard Linton for the music, Mr. Tommy Lewis for his enthus- iasm and the two anonymous gentlemen without whose help- no coffee, also the Orange Lodge for the use of the cups. There will be a Teentownship council meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3rd at the usual place. Clerk Carl Flintoff will present his first report and plans for a pre-Christ- mas meeting, Dec. 14.

Officiais Ail Elected By Acclamation The annual nominations for Clarke Township were held on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 23rd, with the following results. Township School Area: George Morton and Wesley Woods, were elected for two years by acclama- tion. These two men .will 'com- plete the board of five, the other three members being Russell Os- borne, Austin Turner and Brooks Cowan. Orono Police Trustess were re- elected as follows: C. T., Miller, W. J. Rididell and R. E. Logan. The Township Council meeting was well attended. The council gave an account of its steward- ship during 1946, each memoer being ready to reply to any ques- tions asked. The important top- ics of discussion seemed to be roads, machinery and snow plowing. The result of a thor- ough airing of these matters should be a policy of real pro- gress. The former council was re-elected by acclamation: Reeve E. R. Woodyard; Deputy Reeve, C. M. Jones; Councillors, , J. H. Lowery, Arthur McKay and, Wil- fred Hawke. There were two other nominations' for Councillor, Cecil Payne and Jas. T. Brown, but both withdrew. There was one matter which re- ceived a lot of attention andi was commented, on favorably, that was the grant to the Memorial Hospi- tal in Bowmanville. A vote on the matter will be taken on Dec. 9th and it is hoped the people will turn out and support it whole- heartedly. Do Scientific Advances Reach the Farmer ? Subject of Radio Forum The Agricultural Representa- tive is a familiar figure in most farming communities. He is us- ually a very busy man. His job is to 'help the farmer. He is the main link between agricultural research and farm. practice be- cause he is usually the one who passes scientific information on to the farmer. This is a very impor- tant job. What is the use of re- search if its discoveries never reach* the people? The Agricultural Representa- tive is appointed by thé Provin- cial Department of Agriculture to do extension work among farm- ers. His sources of information are mainly bulletins and releases from Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture and from Colleges of Agriculture. He is, of course, a graduate in agri- culture and so is a sorce of infor- mation in himself. But unless he has time to read and study his own knowledge will get out o'f date. With all their various du- ties Agricultural Representatives are hard put to it, to know how best to use their time. This is a problem that concerns the farmer. As a taxpayer lie supports agricultural research. As a farmer he needs to keep in touch with the latest develop- monts. There are, of course, oth- er extension agencies besides the Agricultural Represe n t a t i v e. Where there is an experimental or demonstration farm in a com- munity the specialists are always on hand to advise and inform farmers. Field days are frequefit- ly held when farmers are special- ly invited to visit the Farms. Ag- ricultural Colleges are generous in providing speakers for meetings and in supplying information to visitors or in response to letters. A great deal of free material is available through government bulletins, farm journals and farm broadcasts. Agricultural films are often shown on the rural circuits of the National Film Board. So although the Agricultural Representative is the main link .between scientific research and the farmer he is not the only one. Agricultural extension services will be the subject for discussion in National Farm Radio Forum on Monday, Dec. 2. The broad- cast topic will be: Do Scientific Advances Reach the Farmer?
