FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 2981 ° ' THE SOUTH ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL ; SOCIETY ~The fate of the South Ontario Agricultural 'Society, now hanging in the balance, will be decided at the annual meeting to be held on Tuesday afterno®n of next week. This is a meeting of much importance from the stand- t of the continuation of Oshawa Fair, 'and involved in that is the status of the cinder track for athletics which has been established at the fair grounds on Alexandra Park. ' The Seuth Ontario Agricultural So- ciety has been passing through : troublous times. It had been hoped that the fair of last fall would help to solve some of its troubles, but, in common with many other , particularly the larger ones, it suf- fered severely from the period of depression under which the country was laboring at the time, and the attendance, good as it may have seemed at the time, was not sufficient to make revenues meet expendi- tures. Just what will happen at next Tuesday's meeting cannot, of course, be foreseen. There are some who feel that the Oshawa Fair should be discontinued, and that the Society 'should wind up its affairs. On the other hand, there are those who believe that there * is still a good future for Oshawa Fair, and . that it ought to be developed more along lines of laying greater stress on live stock and other products of the farm. These two lines of thought are prevalent, and next Tues- . day's meeting may see some keen discussion of the problems of the future. No matter what the decision of the meet- ing may be, it is essential that it be a re- presentative gathering of citizens of Oshawa and the surrounding country. One of the difficulties in the past has been: that not a sufficient amount of personal interest has been taken in the Fair by the citizens of Oshawa. They attend it, of course, but that is as far as their interest goes. It would be refreshing this year to find a much larger number of city people attending the meeting, and taking part in the-discussions, so that the best possible thought may be brought to - bear on the solution of the problem of what "Is to become of Oshawa Fair. THE WHITBY-LINDSAY TRAIN SERVICE . As the result of good work done at Ottawa by Dr. T. E. Kaiser, ex-M.P., and Mr. Fred . Bowen, M.P., for Durham, an order of the * Dominion Railway Board for a curtailment 'of the train service on the Whitby-Lindsay ¢ of the Canadian National, intended to 0 into effect on'Monday last was withdrawn to the relief of Whitby, Port Perry and other municipalities depending upon the ser- At the Capital Dr. Kaiser and Mr. Bowen went straight to the powers that be both in . the offices of the Railway Board and the Canadian National. ey pointed out that an appeal against the curtailment order " would be launched on the ground that new . evidence was available, also that all of the "facts in connection with the case were not 'submitted to the Board at its hearing held 'Whitby some months ago. Se The sum total of the efforts of Df. Kaiser d+ Mr, Bowen is that for some time. at st the drains on the Wiiithy Lisdgay line ill be operated as at present.

The Herald, pointing out that the percentage of Cana- dian .goods going: through United States ports is startling, says: "This is un-Canadian and the worst kind of bad business for the Dominion. It is a ruinous drain upon the life of the ' . Dominion' that must be checked. if Can- , ada is to thrive and grow t in all its provinces and all its activities." The Herald illustrates this by pointing out that for the week ending January 2, and up to January 6, not a single bushel of Cana- dian grain arrived at Halifax for shipment, although a great deal of it was flowing out through United States ports. There seems to be justice in the claim of the Maritimes, Canada has ocean ports a- plenty through which its grain and other productg can be shipped, and if there is some descrepancy in freight rates which is send- ing the' traffic 'to the United States, then parliament should look into the matter, and try to devise some remedy. What is the use of building up great ports like Montreal, Vancouver, Halifax and St. John if they are not to be used by Canadians to the full- est possible extent. It is bad enough when Canadians send their money to the United States "for goods manufactured there. But it is far worse when Canada's ports are al- lowed to starve while Canadian products are sent to United States ports for shipment to the markets of the world. EDITORIAL NOTES The international complications in selling wheat are admirably illustrated by the fact that Canada finds it hard to sell wheat in China because the Mexican dollar has de- creased in value in that country. Mitchell Hepburn is demanding the at- torney-general's resignation. Perhaps after the latter speaks at Hamilton the Liberal leader will be all the more anxious to see him resign. One thing which the new Liberal leader has yet to learn is that invective does not constitute an argument. We used to read years ago about some backwood person who had never seen a rail- road train. Now we hear of a railroad train which has not seen a passenger.--Milwaukee Journal, Those Western Canadian farmers who want to secede from the Dominion might first seek the answer to a question frequently asked: Where do we go from here ?--Boston Tran- script. So far as we're personally concerned, they may either deport the gangsters or merely take them out in midocean and turn them loose with two days' rations and a sack of sand.--Ohio State Journal.

Nobody else is going to do it for you, It you don't advertise persistent. ly and tell who you are, where you are and what you have for sale, few people will know you are in business. If you just advertise once in a while, few people will remember you are in business. Today we are living in an age of advortising.

VICE AND PERSISTENT ADVER- TISING, by €. H. Tuek, Opt. D. (Copyright, 1928) PROTECTION Part "4" I mentioned last week a form of harmless growth caleld Pinguecala, harmless because it is natural, notice- ably large in some eyes and practic- ally unnoticeable in others, . Similar to this condition, however, 1s a growth called Pterygium, like the first mentioned this is formed of a fatty substance but marked also also in a vascular manner, This growth may, howéver, exist on the temporal or the nasal side of the eye- ball and as it grows it takes on a triangular shape--the apex or point of the angel pointing in the direction of its growth. The danger to be encountered in a case of this kind is when the growth extends sufficiently to encroach upon the pupil. , : lo insure a proper removal without detriment to vision this growth should be removed before becoming sufficiently developed to encroach up- on the pupillary margin. (To be Continued) FINETRAININGIS GIVEN PUPILS IN UNIQUE SCHOOL Rules Are Few---Girls Gain Poise and In- telligence \ ------ Lory Jan, 14--(By The Cndaian Press A correspondent of The Times writes on the unorthodox ways of a school at Hornbeam, the proto type of which is as old as Miss Edge- worth. There is in Hornbeam that intimate touch between mistress and pupil on which she insisted, and which is only possible in a small school. Rules are few. Girls are taught rather to guide themselves by their own perception of what is and is not done, and great stress is laid on honor. » When a girl breaks the # school code her form sit in judgment and pass sentence. This privilege, seldom needed, is never abused. One is' happy to add that the girls are by no means prigs and paragons, There is plenty of the old Eve in them. At the "breaking up" entertainment at Hornbeam the girls danced like young Pavlovas, mined so expressive ly that the dullest could not miss their meaning, and acted with a sure- ness rare, in amateurs. The pro- gramme was well constructed and flawlessly performed. "Do they learn anything else?" inquired a spectator, 'No," replied aparent composedly, "Why should they?" Actually they learn a good deal though perhaps not on orthodox lines, Matriculation and the various school certificates 'may be pursued, but, are not the be-all 'and and-all of The aim is rather education in the more precious sense of "drawing forth," Undoubtedly, the discipline of mime: and dancing gives poise and and precision to their minds as much as to their graceful young limbs. Said an elderly lady while watching their display : "When 1 was young, girls of 5 or 16 were gauche and dull, But BIBLE THOUGHT AND PRAY If parents will have their children mem vise the Adestions, $8 dhe day Bitie to them weal ore : JOY FOR WEEPING--His anger eidureth but a moment; in his favour is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morn- ing ~Psalm 3075, PRAYER~We thank thee, beay- sly Father, for the Great Heart lich comforteth thy erring children, J lool at these. The days of the 'backfish' are gone, and a good rid- dance." Literature is supremely well taught in all classes, and an intant who makes absurd errors in her sums can quote you yards of Richard II, of Henry IV, and tell you clearly what she prefers and why. There is a fashion in Shakespeare just now and the elder girls quote him ad nua- scam, But they are equally keen on the moderns and know far more of Masefield, Noyes, Chesterton, Gals- worthy, and etc, than their elders. Lectures on current events, with es- says to be written afterwards, teach them to arrange their ideas and ux- press themselves clearly. And they can talk. On Sundays they often come to our hnuse in twos and threes for the day, and their conversation is an unending de- light. They are neither blase nor bashful, but meet you frankly, eager to hear and ready with replies to carry on the talk interestingly. But the old parental ipse dixit is dead and done tor. These girls obey read- ily but they expect to understan the why and wherefore of things. All their training and manner of life en- join it. Withal, they are so nice to look at, so unaffected and well man- nered, so fresh and alert, that their company is a real pleasure. And from what I have seen of other schools, Hornbeam is not an excep- tion, HOOP SKIRT IS FORECAST FOR SPRING FASHIONS New York.--The hoop-skirt-- with modifications---1is due to come back, - This was disclosed last night by fashion expert, in discussing spring styles at his semi-annual fashion "clinic." And not only the hoop-skirt idea, originated and worn by the Empress Eugenie, but several fash- fon ideas inspired by Queen Viec- toria are dye to grace the 1931 miss, Among these will be modern versions of the Victorian fitted jacket to' be worn as evening jac- kets with evening costumes, Ohter inspirations for spring have been derived from the ancient Greek goddesses, whose costumes Mr. Parrish explained consisted of a plece of cloth draped around them in a very artistic, yet very simple way. 'Long, straight flowing lines," he said, "peplums or short tunics on skirts, draped necklines, cowls and scarfs, drgped girdles and sash ties are some of the important fashion details that are Greek in their inspiration." . The matter of dress length -he sald, is no longer a question, 'For general street and day- time wear," he sald, "skirts worn by a majority of women this spring will be middle calf length; for the more formal afternoon wear the lower calf length will be most popular, and for evening wear, ankle length." Amos Parrish CANADIAN GAS UTILIZATION The sales of manufactured gas in Canada during 1929 for domestic purposes totalled 17,638,942 thous- and cubic feet; in addition the am- ount of natural gas consumed for similar purposes amounted approxi- mately to 16,000,000 thousand cu- bic feet, while industrial concerns used 12,000,00 thousand cubic, feet of natural gas. afety Deposit Boxes For the sum of $3.00 and up per annum, you can rent a box in our modern Safety Deposit Vault, and place therein your Bonds.
