BOWMANVILLE Melbourne E. Turner, Representative ' Phones: Ofice, 887; Res, 300 Establish a New Dairy Herd at Training School Twenty Pure Bred Fully Ac credited Guernsey Cows Pruchased and Placed in New Dairy Stable -- Few Such Herds in This Part of Province -- (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 30.--A new Dairy Herd has been established at the Boys' Training School, Bow- manville. Twenty pure bred, fully accredited Guernsey cows have been purchased and placed in the new dairy stable at the School. Cat- tle of this increasingly popular breed have as their native home the Islands of Guernsey and Alder- ney, of the Channel Island group, located in the English Channel, There are few Guernsey herds in this part of the province and for this reason the bringing in of these cows is creating considerable interest in the community, It takes quite a quantity of milk to supply the needs of the School Din- ing Hall, and inasmuch as tie greater part of it 1s used as whale milk for the boys' dining-room, it was thought that the Guernsey te d would be quite suitable for § purpose. One of the aims of the Agricul- tural Department of the School is to interest boys in the care of farm animals. It was felt that a breed of cows different from the gemeral run in the district would assist in that respect. The boys do practie- ally all the milking and caring for the stables and they take special pride in showing visitors any line of stock about the farm that is dif- ferent from that generally kept in the community. In order to increase the boys' interest in live stock, plans have been made to create a centre at the School where pure bred, breed. ing stock of sheep and swine will be raised and supplied to the farms of the other institutions within the province. A start has been made in this direction of the purchase of six high class Shropshire breed- ing ewes. These have plenty of type and quality and should make good foundation stock for this pur- pose. What is being done with Live Stock it 1s hoped may eventually be done with farm crops. The va- rious types of soil on the farm resfone GUM-DIPPED TIRES All the scientific skill and creative ability of the world's devoted exclusively to tire building, enter largest organization, into the manufacture of Firestone Tires.

A load of Irish Cobblers was ship- the School farm last fall, were good, sound, clean uitable for seed. Other the farm are equally well growing grain crops and the production of registered seed. At some future date it ig hoped that a Seed Cleaning Plant may be installed at the School. Such a plant would provide useful employ- ment for the boys and at the same time be a valuable asset to the community. Farmers would be able to bring in their seed grain and have it cleaned at a nominal charge per bushel. The plant could be made self-supporting by this meth- od and would enable us to train boys to go out and take jobs in the various seed cleaning plants throughout the province. A de- mand already exists for trained help in this field of work. The Superintendent of the School, Dr. G. B, Reaman, believes in carrying on projects with the boys that definitely work toward fitting them for the jobs they will assume after leavin. Thus, the work outlined above with Live Stock and Field Crops first of all challenges the boys' interest and then, in carrying out the idea, pro- vides a splendid training for his future life on the farm. Work of this kind makes a direct appeal and boys learn to see farming from a new angle and realize there is more to it than just hard work. It at- tracts them because it offers a va- riety of endeavor that calls forth their best abilities and when they see it from this angle, we find more choose Agriculture than any other vocational training offered at the School E. P. Bradt, B.S.A., well-known among agriculturists, is Agrieul- tural Director for the School and Is responsible for the great inter- est evinced in this Department. PALM SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES Special Services Are Plan- ned Tomorrow--Easter Approaching (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 80.-- Special Palm Sunday Services are being held in the churches of the town on Sunday. Upon the arriv- al of Palm Suday which signifies Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jer- usalem, everyone gets their first real thought of the near approach of Easter. During Holy Week many ser- vices and prayer meetings are he- ing held all over the world, Fas- ter Sunday spells the end of Tent and the finishing of Confirmation classes when the students are taken into the church. The Salvation Army are holding special services on Sunday at all occasions, Major and Mrs Har- old Ritchie, the new Divisional Commanders, will take charge of all services here on Sunday next. MARCH MAKING EXIT LIKE LION; (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 30, -- "It kind of looks as if March Is going out like a lion this year after com- ing in like one, too." Such words came from the lips of a five-year- old when asked what she thought of the weather. It certainly shows signs of a cold spell again after such fine weather for a time. Unlike last year's record, the elements during 1928 are not ai- bering to any strict ruling, and changeable conditions might just as well be expected for at least another month, and perhaps more than that. It has been stated that early seed planting will be unlikely this year. Although planting may be carried on with ease a litttle later in the season, a heavy frost or another snow storm might put those operations to nought. Pavements are dangerously slippy and traffic has slowed up considerably during the recent cold atttack, but it is hoped that the ladies will have some cause to wear their new Spring frocks and coats by Easter yet. BALDWIN DECLINES LIBERAL SCHEME Plan to Group All Military Services Under One Defence Department London, Mar. 30.--Stanley Bald- win, Prime Minister, declined in the House of Commons on Tues- day, to accept a proposal from the Liberal side that the three fight- ing services--land, sea and air-- be combined under a single minis- try of defence. The Prime Minister said that the policy of defence could not be considered apart from the foreign and the imperial policies for which the Cabinet was responsible under advice from the committee on im- perial defence. He that a process of evolution was leading in the proposed direction and he promised that all sugges- tions would be considered without prejudice. But he considered that such 8 great change should not be hurried or made at all until there were very solid and convincing arguments in its favor. STARTED SAME WAY Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fret- ful spellls and infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is sweet to the taste and sweet in the lit- tle stomach, And its gentle in- flcence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distaste- ful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria 1s purely vegetable, so you may give it free- ly, at first sign of colic; or con- stipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don't know what {8 the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor, al- ways. At other times a few drops of Fletcher's Costoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Flet- cher's. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experi- ment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold!

The Post said: "We are interested in seeing Premier Mackenzie King's declara- tion that as the still-born Apglo- Egyptian treaty negotiations con- templated military alliances, he did not believe the Canadian Par- liament would have approved the treaty. "Premier King in fact contrives to convey the idea that the Do- minion of Canada is nervously pre- paring to evade or avoid such dan- gers as may come to the British Empire. Fortunately the magni- ficent behavior of Canada when the Empire really was in danger is sufficient comment upon that er- roneous impression. "We have no doubt at all that the Dominions, should danger comre again, would scorn to seek refuge in neutrality."
