America 300-head of purebred Holsteins left Oakville, Ontario on September 80th on the first leg of a 6,000 mile journey that will take them to a new home in Peru. The cattle all first calf heifers will board ship at Montreal. This is the first large shipment of Canadian Holsteins to Peru and is the largest single shipment of purebred Canadian Holsteins made since 1940 when 400 head were sold to Chili. Ontario County breeders who sold animals for this shipment include the following: John Gray, . Port. Perry; Harold A. Werry, Oshawa; Clarence G. Croxall, Uxbridge; K. E. Holliday, Brooklin; C. ¥. Werry & Son, Osha- wa; Christie Bros., Port- Perry; How- sam- Bros,, Uxbridge; W. B. Holtby, Port Perry; Asa Forsythe & Sons, Ux- bridge; Albert S. Haysen, Blackwater. One of the major problems of such a journey is that of keeping the ani- mals comfortable while travelling through the heat of the tropics. For this purpose a specially designed cat- tle ship has been secured with a venti- lating system suitable for the purpose. Known as the Sinu, she is expected to {¢®rn-to Montreal for a second load Joo heifers early in December. if the shipments prove successful, it is expected that the Sinu will continue to make regular trips over this same route for the next year or so, that is providing Canadian breeders of pure- -- bred Holsteins with a continuing Film Council News I am very pleased to report to- day that the Ontario & York Counties' "Film Council has won the S.

SERRA s.| Robertson, G. Davey, Ii. Thompson, H: Hospital Auxiliary Penny Draw On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 1st, the Hospital Auxiliary held an afternoon Tea and the Penny, Draw, in the Com- munity Room of the Public Library. A goodly number of interested people were present for this function and showed keen interest as the numbers were drawn, - Dr. M. B. Dymond, M.P.P,, in open- ing the Tea and Draw, pointed out that he was.pleased to be present not only as the Member of Parliament, but as a citizen of the community, and a member of the Medical Staff of the Hospital, in particular, Dr, Dymond complimented the Auxiliary on the splendid work they are doing, and wondered if the Auxiliary were not just a little too modest, in that he was of the opinion that the general public hardly realized just how much the Auxiliary meant to the local Hospital; just how .many different projects they had undertaken and successfully completed. He made particular re- ference to the last big project, viz. the installation of new Operating Room lights, which cost in the neigh- borhood of $1000.00. While the Doctor realized that the Auxiliary always had plenty of work in view, he did suggest to them that the Medical Staff felt a new Operat- ing Table was sorely needed, and he personally knew of no better organi- zation to undertake this project than the Auxiliary since the Medical Staff had never yet asked the women of the Auxiliary to do something that had not-been done. Dr. Dymond extended his very best wishes for the continued success of this splendid organization. He then drew tickets for the 23 prizes in the Penny Draw. 5 Gross proceeds from the Penny Draw were approximately $450.00. Follow- ing the draws, tea was served by the Committee and a very pleasant social hour enjoyed by.those present. Names of the lucky ticket holders follows. The Auxiliary wishes to express -| sincere appreciation to all who donated prizes or money for this Draw, and to all who- sold and purchased tickets. The next Auxiliary Meeting will be held in the dining room of the Hospi- tal on October 18th, and if you are interested in this most: commendable work, you are invited to attend this meeting. a Winners Of Penny Draw 1.

A well-read person mingles freely and talks intelligently". rary is the basis of all education." "The World of Books is the most re- markable creation of -Man." "Books are written to preserve one's thoughts so others might know what he 1s thinking." "Ow interest -in. Cana- dian literature may be judged by our knowledge of it." A teacher should find time during the year to read at least one book on Biography, Travel, Science, History, Fiction, Music, Art, Home Economics and Current Events." "Parents are anxious for their child- ren to become skilled readers." "The teacher inculcates into her pupils: 'her' use of a book." = "Living a story" with your listener by reading aloud-to him, is vital in giving him-apprecia- tion of litérature and in encouraging him to Tearn the skills of reading," "Suggest suitable books, but leave choice to the reader." Mrs. St. John offered suggestions to ensure a well-balanced and well- arranged library. "Build on the books that you have." "When selecting a book consider its quality and its appeal to the person who will read it." "Have a variety and a definite arrangement of books, so the beginner, the junior boy or girl, the older boy or girl, and the teen-ager will readily find his or her book." A list of reference Yoke to \ be used as aids in the selection of library books, and a number of books that would be an asset to the school lib- rary were given.
