The speaker of the day, T. E. Dîedrîch, chief ai the promotion dlepartment of the Commission, tald in a briet address remething afthe early history af the Ni- Çrapower deveiopment before !bwing a saund and color film a at braught home graphically ta the audience the immensity af the project and the manifold con- veniences it has rendered ta the public. Bookiets were distributed as souvenirs which traced the wbole story Irom early days down ta the present. Early History The speaker dealt brietly with the historical background before outlining the creation of the Com- mission in 1906 and the great part played by Sir Adam Beck in lay- ing the toundation for its success. Starting almost without precedent the Hydro Commission gradually acquired properties and extended Its services, until today, 40 years later, it has became a model of efficiency and economny in the public utility field. The greatest gcxxl ta the greatest kuamber, with service at cost has been the aim inaintained 'right tram its incep- tion. Universal Service Today throughout the Province of Ontario, electrical service rea- ches into almast every phase ai daily lite, in the home, on the farm, in commerce and industry, relieving the burdens af the bousewite and the farmer, bring- ing conveniences ta uroan aiid rural consumers, aiding manu- facture, pointir.g the way toaa new, modern, "design for living" -th-,se were the impressions pro- jected by the speaker priar ta the showing oi the film. He deait brietly with present problems of new construction arising tram post war expansion and urged that the public should avoid waste of power until a surplus position was again achieved. Educational Film The film, said the speaker, was conceived for educational pur-1 assume direction of the enterprise1 but the films are available ta be shown ta public audiences any- where simply by making a e- quest ta the Commission. The color films were accompanied with poses among students in schools who in the years ta came would sound that braught the roar of the falls iaithfully eproduced as well as the vaices of the operat- ors working among the giant in- stallations that transmitted the "juice" ta a multitude aof users. Scenes of the whirlpool and the honeymoanems aboard the Maid of the Mist, preceded a mast in- timate closeup af the huge mac- hinemy, the turbines and trans- formers, the flumes and raceways that braught out the caption, "Ni- agara, It's Beauty and It's Power," in its fullest sense. It wauld take much space ta dqscribe in any adequate way the points brought out by the'speaker and the many views shown, on the film. They were summed up in the thanks expressed by Bill James and the applause tendemed the speaker at the close af the meeting. Club Business Business of the club included the induction of a new and dis- tinguished member, Col. Lamne T. McLaughlin, C.M.G., D.S.O., E.D., who was welcomed in cloquent ternis by Past President Dave Morrison and presented with his badge and Code af Ethics by Past President Fombes Heyland. Col. McLaughlin spoke biefly in ap- preciation of the honor hie icît in becoming associated with a great international organizatian in these very grave times. He was receiv- ed with the standing appiause af his new associates. Doc Rudel eceived an unus- ual giit tram the club. It appears hie was gaing tishing ecently and got caught in the doar. The anly way out was ta jain the "sans culottes" iraternity and tass peb- bles ta awaken bis wife. His giit was a whistle attached ta a rib- bon and he gave it a "toat" in ap- preci atîon. Jack Sharpe af Edmonton and the Peace River was an interested visitar. Lau Dippell received birthday flowers.

Gunn and harmaniaus arrangement ai pipe organ technique which was worthy ai a much more critical audience in a select city church. This musical service was greatly enjoyed by St. John's cangrega- tion and was a fitting climax ta Mms. Gunn's long service. Atter the service, about 200 af the congregation assembled in the Parish Hall where the Rector made bnifeference ta the ex- cellence of Mrs. Gunn's musical ability 'and -the fine record ai the choir which now numbers 46 vaices.

According ta president Gar- net B. Rickard, attendance broke aIl Ireviaus records with a total estimated at more than 5,000 dur- ing the twa days. The result proves that despite the reopening of the National at Toronto and other important fairs being held in the district within almost the same period, Orono has a place all its own. Expansion was the. order al through the fair save in only twa section. The hog classes were ab- sent due ta prevalence of a minor disease and in grain, vegetable and fruits the displays were less than usual, probably due ta ad- vancing the dates ai the fair. Larger numbers of cattie, sheep and poultry were exhibited but the greater increase appeared ta be in the horse classes including a stepped-up pragramt in the rac- ing classes. Officiai Opening The fair was apened by C. D. Graham, Deputy Minîster of Ag- riculture for Ontario, who spoke with optimism on the future ai agriculture and congratuiateat the oificials of the fair on the great show arranged. The thrang al day Saturday had something ta engage their attention every mo- ment which included a greater midway, the musical and speak- ing contests and the judging and racing taking place simultaneous- ly. Of great interest were the pony running races sponsored by Law- rence Hooey which captivated the younger people. It proved a cal- ourful event. The harness races attracted some 17 entries which led ta a revision ai the racing card for the day. Women's Section The exhibits in the main build- ing reflected great credit ta the ladies of the entire community for the displays of needlework, home cooking and canning were a f ea- ture af the fair. In the schools and children's section there was much pride shown in the numer- ous displays. 'Local industries were represented by C. R. Knox with displays of honey and prize taxes and Mrs. L. Reid had a fine section hiiàeig gitt shap and home made articles. Mrs. Carlos Tamblyn, Orono, captured the pressure coaker for having the most entries in the do- mestic science classes. Winners in ail the main classes at the fair are shown below. The success ai the 1947 fair is due of course ta the general in- terest of the people of the entire community but the final apprais- ai rests greatly upon the hard and faithiul work ai the following of- ficers andl directors: Officers of the Society Hon. president, J. H. Jase, New- castle; president, Garnet B. Rick- ard, Bowmanville; first vice-presi- dent, A. E. Morton, Kendal; sec- ond vice-presîdent, John Cruick- shank, Hampton; secretary-treas- urer, J. C.

He then introduced the new teachers-Miss Mutton and Miss Richardson. In Uic pamcnt's count, Miss Ricbardson's room won the dollar. With Mns. Robt. Cale in the chair, the following pragram was given:-piano salas by Janet Mc- Gregor, Marie Ferguson and Will Robinson, al ai which were very much enjoyed. Mrs. Chas. A. Wight, the speak- er oi the evcning, said she thaugbt we should turn mare ta the ideal as apposed ta aur presdit day practical thinking. Today aur homes arc becoming mechanical hotels or buman fiiling stations. The production oi gaod lives is taa much ovesbadowed by pros- pects oi a lucrative liveiihood, ion without tlbe awareness ai Uic spir- it, man is merely a lump ai dlay.

Friday, Sept. 5, a delega- tion of ratepayers was present and introdu,çed a tew questions which it was believed could be better answered when final costs were determined. Hence an adjourn- ment was taken ta Sept. i1. A delegation was again present prepared with certain documents ta probe into this question but it was found impossible for some time ta assemble a quorum of council. Finally a bare quorum met which was made up of Mayor Little, Deputy Reeve Allisan and Councillors, Dilling, James and Nicholas. Mayor Little explained the de- lay ta the waiting audience and stated that the purpose was ta get final cost sheets from the building inspectar, r. l-attinson, who was present with his prepar- ed statement. Cauncillor James hawever moved adjournment on grounds that the matter was one requîring the attentive' corqsidera- tian and action of the entire oeun- cil in view of the concern shown by many ratepayers and the im- propriety of a rump council ta deal with the question. The motion carried on the un-' derstancling that a further meet- ing be assembled at the cail of the Mayor when he could be as- sured of à more representative at- tendance. It is expected due not- ice will be given the public prior to the next meeting. The only business transacted at Thursday's meeting was a resolu- tian that the engineers of the sew- age disposai plant be contacted and asked ta examine the plant, the odor tram which is causing distress ta residents in that part of the town. In the matter of housing costs it was learned intarmally at the meeting that the net cost per unit for the 18 houses, aside tram loc- al improvements, was appraxim- ately $5,600, with each unit re- sold at ,a price of $4,000. The total deficit therefore will be around $29,000. South Darlington .

With the opening of schools ln September many of the activities of the Health Unit Staff were again directed towards work in the schools. Within the T1¶ited Counties of Northumberland a n d Durhama there are 210'elementary Echobls, with mare than 7,500 pupils. When the schools are re-apen- ed atter the long summer vaca- tion, attention must first be paid ta ensuring that the school water supply is safe, and second, thet no child returns ta school with skin infection, head lice, or acute communicable disease. Persornal Inspection During the tirst week or two of September, much time is spent by medical officers of health, san- îtary inspectars and public health nurses in visiting schools. Water samples are taken and attention paid ta other details of the child's schaol enviranment. Nurses malçe rapid ciassroom inspections of the chil - -en in as man,.t schools as possible. Experienced; observant teachers carry out this procedure themselves. Ail children with signs of communicable disease are excluded, and public health nurses visit their homes ta advise- the parents. Later in the year a more de- tailed inspection of the school is carried out, a repart af which, with recommendations suggested, goes ta the school board secretary and the Provincial Department of' Health. This report covers heat- ing, lighting, ventilation, toilet ta- cilities and water supply. Since the objective of the schools is taward the training of the -.;hole child, mind and body, ta best equip hlm for adult lite, the health of each child is a mat- ter of concern ta bis teacher and indeed is taund ta affect directly his pragress in academnic work. Card'Syst-m For each child an "A.D.P." card is kept, which follows him tbrough elementary schaal. On one sîde is recorded his progress in academic work, an the other his health re- cord. The latter includes a record of illness, immunizatians, and find- ings by the medical officer of health and public health nurses on examination of the child. This card tollaWs the chiki tramn school ta schoal. In the present programa of the Health- Unit, it is planned that every schoal child will be given a mredical examinatian, preferably in the presence of one or bath parents. This will be done at least once in the child's school life, and, as many times thereatter as seems indicated. Such examinations are done by the medical officer of health with the assistance of the (Continued on Page Six) Death on Highway Takes Honeymoon Bride From Michigan Mrs. Anne Jaul, married rime days aga and on a honeymoon with her husband, Ernest, was instantly killed Monday r,,ight when their car swerved off th~e highway just west of Newcastle and crashed into a tree.
