There were two" sessions --afternon and evening, ¢ 'The afternoon session was in charge of Mr. W. M. Croskery, Ontario Co. Agricultural Representative, and the program consisted of a series of con- 'tests_in Public Speaking, Recitation, and Instrumental music. There were in all thirty-one contestants in the various lines, and they came from the Public Schools in several parts of the County. The public speaking which. was judged by Mr. Hartley, of the Depart- ment of Education, was of an un- usually good quality. The choice of subjects was excellent, far better | suited to the child outlook than Is 'generally the case.. "Children's Day at the CN.E.; "Fire Prevention"; "Care of Implements"; "Why I Stay on the Farm"; "Jack Miner"; "Grey Owl"; and similar subjects formed the list. The winners in this con- test were: Champion--Eileen Rogers, 8.8. No,| 8, E. Whitby. The other speakers were--Frances|: McMillan, 2 Thorah; Helen Pardon, 8 Whitby; Robt. Brownridge, 8 Pick- ering; Joy Lamb, 6 Brock; Helen Glover, 156 Pickering; Jack Joslin, 7 Rama; Kenneth Reynolds, 6 Reach} Marion Arnold; 10 Scott; Clem Jef- frey, 2 Scugog; June Jai, 1 Brock; 'Mabel Rodman, Uxbridge.

The winners were: Champions--Paul Shelter, S. 8. No. 1, E. Whitby and Owen Reader, 8. S. No. 8, Scugog, tied. Others in the contest were--Doug. Arksey, 8 Whitby; Tom Yosick, 8 Pickering; Vernon Powell, 1 Picker- ing; Murray Wilson, 6 'Reach; Muriel Pegg, 7 Scott; Jean Baker, 13 Brock. Each contestant was presented with souvenirs of the occasion, the girls with pencils, the boys with jack- 'knives, by the members of the County Council. All the numbers were enjoyed, and prizes were awarded through the generosity of the County: Council, There had been a school grounds 'beautification contest carried on' dur- 'ing the year, and Mrs, N. White, re- 'presenting the Women's Institutes, presented the prizes, Reeves who were present were: W. M. Letcher, Port Perry; W. Parrott, "Reach; Robt. Pickard, Uxbridge Tp.; Wilmot, Bain, Scott; Fred 'Clayton "Thorah; _J._E. McDonald, Brock; F. Gerrow, Scugog, The evening session was held in the Town Hall. Proceedings were opened by music by the Port Perry Sunday School Orchestra, and pupils of the Public School, under the direction of Miss Florence McMillan, sang some 'pleasing numbers. These musical contributions were much appreciated. President Angus Grant in his open- ing addréds stressed the need ot greater equality in educational op- portunity between rural and urban «districts, He pointed to many educa- 'tional and health advantages enjoyed by urban people that were denied to rural people; and urged rural people to make greater effort to obtain these advantages for their children if at all possible. * The debate on the larger unit of administration brought out clearly the arguments pro and con. The af- firmative side was taken by Mr. J. C. Anderson, barrister of Oshawa; and Mr. Thos. Harrison, B.S.A., of Beaver- ton, took the negative. : Mr. Anderson showed the unneces- | sary 'gost of sinall. scattered schools in rural areas; the lack of co-opera- tion to secure educational and health advantages now enjoyed by the pupils in urban municipalities; the poor op- portunity for secondary education un- der the present system of administra- tion; the improvements possible under the larger unit of administration-- such as better teaching conditions; greater control and use of schools be- cause of a proper survey of the edu- cational plant of the community, bet- ter placing of teachers and standard. izing of salaries; better opportunity to teach music, manual training, 'household science; better opportunity of obtaining medical and dental in- spection, health service, etc.; better 'chance to adapt the educational :sys- tem to the needs of the people of the locality. . Mr, Harrison, for the negative, 'pointed out the difficulty of settling financial disputes 'between school sections where schools had recently been" built, but were only partially paid for, and sections where schools had to be built or undergo extensive "| repairs. He feared the larger unit would rob the local people of control 'of their school. The larger unit tend- ed toward consolidation; and the ex- pense of school administration would be increased. In electing representa- tives to the township or county board no provision had been made in the bill for a separate" nomination meeting, where school problems might be dis- cussed, He dwelt on the problem of transportation, and other matters where large ideas would increase costs. Mr. Harrison also feared the introduction of political influence un- der a larger unit system. No decision was made in the debate, but the subject was.thrown open for discussion, and a number of the trus- Jtees™took part in this exchange of ideas. Sunday at 10.30 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. 'Rev.

We invited: suggestions for new names, and this week we were pleased to hear from Henry Burton, well-known Brooklin citizen. Mr. Burton thinks that "The Minto Home" would be a very suitable name, be- cause the House of Refuge, as we know it today, was built when Lord Minto: was governor-General of Can- ada, The name is short, with no that dwell therein, he points out, The Gazette and Chronicle is pleased to get this suggestion which will be passed along to the County Council, Other suggestions are invited. ~aselts and Chronicle GREENBANK 'Messrs, Harold Brown, Mike Wood and Ed.

Highlights of the Canadian-United States trade agreement: The agreement is effective Jan. 1, 1986, for a period of three years, and thereafter unless terminated by the Government of either country upon six months' notice. The right to either country is re- served to terminate the agreement on thirty days' notice in the event of failure to adjust differences concern- ing quotas or prejudices to industry | or commerce of either country result- ing from exchange rate variations. Canadian dutiable imports of $500, 000,000 annually in normal times are] directly affected, and benefits to Can- adian consumers are estimated at $26,000,000 per annum as result of reductions in duties. Canadian exports to value of $300,- 000,000 annually will benefit by lower- ing of American tariff barriers. Canadian cattle farmers will get $9 per head more for beef cattle and will be permitted to market up to 165,799 head annually in the United States. Canadian producers of cream, seed potatoes, fish, clover and grass seeds, hay turnips, maple sugar, timber, cheese and fruits will' be among the principal beneficiaries. Market for Canadian lumber esti- mated to be worth $88,000,000 an- nually in normal times is reopened. Canada lowers her tariffs on some 800 items of United States, production reducing the barriers to approximate- ly the level of 1930, before the Ben- nett Government imposed the highest tariffs ever known in this country, The margin of British preference is retained. Certain dumping duties adi arbi- tary valuations for customs duty pur- poses are abolished, P- - BAY OF QUINTE CONFERENCE TO MEET IN OSHAWA NEXT MAY Oshawa, next year, will have the honour of acting as the host city to the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church, which will assemble in that city the last week in May, 1986. The sessions of the conference will be held in St. Andrew's United Church, and the preliminary arrangements for the conference will be discussed at a meeting of the conference executive to be held in Bridge Street United Church, Belleville. This important announcement was made yesterday by Rev. A. D. Robb, minister of St. Andrew's United Church where the conference is to meet. It is nine years since the Bay of Quinte Conference met in Oshawa, and in the normal order of events, it would have been meeting here in 1937. It was scheduled to meet in Kingston, in 1836, but on account of the fact that the General Council of the United Church met there in 1934, and that Kingston has been the scene of several important church conferences in recent years, it was intimated that if Oshawa were to invite the confer- ence for 1936, the invitation would be favorably received. The Official Board of St. Andrew's United Church, on receiving this in- timation some time ago sent an in- vitation to the conference executive to make that church the headquarters of the conference for 1936. This was backed up by a resolution passed by the Oshawa Ministerial Association, ing the conference to come here or its meeting next year, The in- vitation has now been accepted, and it is definitely decided that Oshawa will be the conference city for 1936. A committee composed of Rev. A. D. Robb, J. C. Ydunhg, L. F. Mec- Laughlin, A. V, Swail, Clarence Sad- ler and M. E. Armstrong has been ap- pointed . to represent St, Andrew's Church at the meeting being held in Belleville to discuss arrangements. Rev. W. R. Tanton, of Simcoe Street Church and Rev, G. C. R. McQuade, of Centre Street Church, will also attend the meeting. The sessions of the conference bring a great number of ministers and laymen of the United Church of Central Ontario to Oshawa for from seven to ten days: J. C. Young of Oshawa, as presi- dent of the Laymen's Association of the conference is a member of the conference executive. 1 MARA TOWNSHIP TO VOTE ON BEER AND WINE Word has been received that Mara Township Coumeil's application for a Plebicite on local option has been ap- proved by the Provincial Liquor Hoard. The vote, accordingly, will be held with the next municipal election - on 'the first of the year, Since the inauguration of heer par- lours throughout the province and in Mara Township, temperance workers have been working towards a vote to decide as to whether the beverage rooms will or will hot remain in the Township, There are three beverage tooms in the township, two at Ather- ley, about two miles from Orillia, and one at Brechin. hd RETURN TO NEW YEAR ELECTION IN TWO PLACES. ~~ - Up in Bruce County they have been experimenting with the earlier date allowed under the Statutes for muni- cipal elections and after an actual trial reverted to the old date of hold- ing the nominations on the last Mon- day in December with election the first Monday in January--The Ches- ley Enterprise reports on the matter thus: Chesley Council has done, the right thing in changing the date of mun- icipal nominations from the last Mon- day in November and first Monday in December to date eme month later. This is on account of the abbreviated financial statement on the last of - November without the last payment of taxes appearing, and being of little information to the ratepayers. Elderslie township experimented with the earlier date and changed to the latter as the financial statement af- forded so little statistical information and the council considered it was a -| waste of municipal funds in having a partial statement of the township's affairs printed. The Enterprise favored the earlier dates when the statutes first gave councils the priv- ilege of making the change but we too have changed our mind as the actual working out of the' earlier date has not been satisfactory, especially since the depression when taxes have been difficult to collect even at the later date. - a -- MYRTLE /- Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair MacDonald and son Lloyd, of Epsom, visited.
