But if they knew the | history of their own county they | would clearly understand that | such a railroad was needed and that it hastened the development of the territory which it served. By means of the line practically all the produce of a thriving dis- trict, was ultimately carried to Whitby, The wharves of Whitby harbor were piled high with lum- ber and the warehouses bulged with grain. Tall-masted schooners loaded either grain or lumber, spread sail and gracefully slipped by the harbor light. If their holds were filled with barley or wheat they generally headed for Oswego. A cargo of lumber meant a trip to Kingston, Montreal or Quebec. After leaving Port Hoover, Silas Jacobs engaged in steamboating and lumbering at Lindsay, then in British Columbia and 'later at Huntsville. A few year: ago he returned to the township of his birth and spent his declining years in the more prosaic business or farming. GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF DISTINGUISHED LINEAGE Ottawa Journal Delves Into Long History of Ponsonby Family and Discovers Many Interesting Personages Ottawa.--Since the appointment of ere Brabazon Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough, as Governor- General of Canada, the Ottawa Journal has been digging Into the historic Ponsonby lineage and with the aid of the great work called "The Ponsonby Family," written in 1929 by Major General John Ponsonby, was enabled to publisu the following intewesting editorial article: To Rdeau Hall, within the next fow weeks will come Vere Ponson- by, ninth Earl of Bessborough, of the Irish Peerage, one of the "haughty Ponsonbys." Socially, and from the standpoint of tradi- tion and. family background, the appointment should be an excellent one, Ponsonbys were making a stir in England long before Jacques Cartier raised a Cross at Gaspe. Originally they came from Picardy, and they were in Cumberland or thereabouts for years before one of them, a Colonel Ponsonby, went over to Ireland for Cromwell, was highly efficient in Cromwell's work, got a knighthood and large estates for his reward. Since then there have been Pon- sonbys all through Irish and Eng- lish history, in Ireland's old Parlia- ment, in the British Parliament in the Army and the Navy, some even in the Church. In 1929 Major-General Sir John Ponsonby, K.C.B., wrote a big book called "The Ponsonby Family," and in the introduction he said this: "I regret that I have not been able to find any great criminal in the fam- ily, or any member of the fam, who ended his days on the gallows, as his life, perhaps, might have been of greater interest than that of his more sedate relations. Prob- ably however all guch records have been carefully and quickly destroy- ed for fear that they should pe brought to light in later years." We agree with Sir John Ponson- by that if such a black sheep did Sir exist among his ancestors it was an PUBLIC MEETING Monday, Feb. 23rd, 8 p.m. Plant.

CONANT Centre Street School Auditorium J. 8. P. ARMSTRONG The Dominion of Canada Genera! Insurance Company announces the appointment of J. 8. I, Arm- strong as Agency Manager for Toronto. Mr. Armstrong is well known in Insurance circles. He has had many years of experi- ence in field organization worl and brings to his new dutics a fund of sound knowledge of Ine surance matters. oxcellent thing that his biography has not heen written for with a Ponsonby here at Rideau Hall we can just imagine one of Mr. Hearst's New York tabloids con- fronting us with the skeletons all extracted carelully from the cup- hoard. However, while there have been no English equivalents tor Al Ca. pone among the Pon cubs, no one who was hanged cr who deserved to be, the family cartainly presents a lot of illustrious figures through three centurics of British history. On this point, Sir Jolin Ponsonby, in the haok that we have mentioned, modestly gays: "The Ponsonby fou:ile others, have served country with honer on and although nobod:, risen to be Prime bishop of Ca shal or can c¥uim to. | Derby or ridden the Grand National yet ve hu ed to the State many who have tinguished them:eivos wy soldiers, sallorz, dinloma.j te." This was no idle ho To begin with, the eldest son of the I'onson- by who went to Irelznd with Crom- well, and who inherited his father's Kilkenny estates, took =ldes cgainst Tyrconnell' and Jame: rolsnd a Protestant army, marchcd to Lon- donderry and defended that town in the slego famed in song and story to this very day. They were 80 pleased with this Ponsonby that they made him Viscount Dunecan- non; and after that the Ponsonbys Just seemed to throng all through Irish history. They were in the old Irish Par!lament, and it was about one of them, or rather two of them. that an Irish member, a Martin im Calway, used his im- mortal tence: "These Ponconbys are the curse of my countr), irom the toothles old hag, who is now rrinning in the gallery, to the viii -livered scoundrel who is now sil. on the floor." But, curse to Ireland or not, was something ts the Pon One of them fe!l at Fontcno Clare's Irish Drigade uv; avenged what happened vit) a Pon- sonby under Cromwell: -another (a Major-General) fell at Waterloo, and no fewer thon eight l'onsonbys fell in the Great War, Politically, the Ponconbys were Whigs, great adherents of Charles James Fox. One of them, too, was a friend of Burke; and «till anoth- er, Lady Caroline Lamb, married Lord Melbourne, was in love with Byron, and left a passionate poem about him. The truth is that the records and doings of the Pongon- bys could be found everywlere, at the War Office and Admiralty, in the House of Commons 'and at Whitehall, in the diaries of Mr, Creevy, The eight Earl of Bessborough, father of our new Governor-Gener- al, was not as spectacular as some others of the Pongonbys. He be- gan in the Navy, but showed no signs of becoming either a Nelson or a Beatty, came ashore, was pri- , like many poliil there onhbys. here mbiedly then went into the City and made money. Over on his Irish estates they went in strongly for hounds, and our new Governor-General wag enthusiastic about the sport. In 1923 the Sinn Feiners destroy- ed the Bessborough Irish home, no doubt thinking about Cromwell. This despite the fact that the Pon- sonbys had become sort of Anglo- Irish, got on wonderfully with the Celts. Vere Ponsonby, the ninth Earl, and our Governor-General, has up- held, at least to some extent, the Ponsonby tradition. He was a young Tory #ood in 1906, ran for Parliament as a tariff 'reformer, got beaten; ran again in 1910, got elected. He was never a front bencher, showed no signs of adding a Prime Ministership to the family record of achievement, but he went to the War was a good soldier and served with distinction at Gallipoli, The Earl, who is 51 years old, married into a distinguished French family which was not unnatural, seeing that his own ancestors came from - France; and the alliance brought hitn money, a son, Viscount Duncannon, ond a daughter with the Irish name of Moira. If the Earl is not of the Rideau Hall tradition which was begun with the Duke of Connaught, he is at least of an excellent family who need not have an inferiority complex in the face of our own First Families, , With Flin Flon now equipped to handle 3,000 tons daily, Sherritt Gor- don to be ready to handle up to 1,- 800 tons by about the 1st of May and Mandy Mine abel .to ship its ofe to Flin Flon any time at short notice, Manitoba is ready to enter the field of Copper-zine producing on a big scale, The natural resotirces of a country comprises all those substances fur nished by nature. which will enable its inhabitants to gain a- livelihood, CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN The Oshawa Branch of the Cana- dian Legion will stage a thirty days membership campaign during the en- tire month of April.

But the provision of the eight- hour day for the train crew will not fully mcet the needs of the citizens of municipalities along the railway line. In order to con- nect with the 9.17 trin at Whitby Junction, the train will have to leave Lindsay at about 7 a.m. Then, in order to arrive at Lindsay at 8 p.m. the expiration of the oight hours, it will have to leave Whitby at about 1 p.m., or more shan two hours earlier than it is now leaving. This will mean that people from along the railway line will have much less time in Whit- by for shopping and it will make it impossible for them to go by train to Toronto and return on the samo day, and have any time for business in the metropolis. Wheth- er this will divert any trade from Toronto to Oshawa remains to be seen, The students attending the to a considerabld disadvantage by Whitby.

It is prohable that the Whitby Board of Education will provide a bus service for them at night, as a committee of the board, on issuance of the previous order, had made arrangements for the bus service. « HELPING THE HORSEMAN Considerable interest is being | taken in the announcement of the Hon, Robt. Weir, Federal Minister of Agriculture, that Spring Stal- lion Hiring Shows will be held at the five poimts in the Prairie Provinces where Winter Fairs are held. Prize money totalling $1,600 is being offered at each of these shows. The arrangement will fur. nish an excellent opportunity for those interested in Club work to see the best horses in the respec- tive provinces at a minimum ex- penditure of time and money. The shows will also provide an indica- tion of popular interest in and de- mand for horses. HOW TO GROW ROSES With spring sunshine, flowers and gardens just around the cor. ner, there can be no more useful or popular. suggestion to the amateur gardener than that he obtain a copy of "Hardy Roses-- Their Culture in Canada," pre- pared by the Dominion Horticul. turist, W. T. Macoun, and Miss Isabella Preston, specialist in ore namental horticulture.

In 1929 there were 18 hatcheries entered in approval and in 1930 the number was 48. The total this year stands at 109, an increase of 61 for the hatching season of 1931. It is from these hatcheries alone that approved flocks are suppiied. Thelr product is known and sold as "Approved" because of strict government sup- ervision from the flock producing the eggs which supply the hatch- eries to the baby chick® delivered to the farmer. MAKE GOOD READING This is the time of the year when the interest of the amateur gardener turns to the seed cata- logue with its attractive and amaz- ing variety of colour-plate displays of beautiful flowers in all the glor. fous beauty of full bloom, gut there is a world of difference be- tween the attractive display of the coloured plate and the resulf,-one gets in the garden, That is why anyone contemplating investment in a flower garden this year should take the trouble to get the report of the Dominion Efperimental Farm or Station serving his dis- trict. Horticulture in all its vary- ing phases is a specialty with this branch of the Department of Agri- cultdre. Valuable information as to the adaptability of varieties, their ability to thrive under local conditions, and the best methods of cultivation, are points dealt with in these reports. It would also be well to have the report of the Dominion Horticulturist.

WHITBY DEMONSTRATION OF PHYSICAL WORK ATHIGH SCHOOL Fine Programme Staged in New Gymnasium Friday Night Tae EN Giving their first demonstration of physical training in the new and well equipped gymnasium of the High School on Friday evening, students of the school made a most creditable showing and pleased the many par- 'ents and friends who came in for the demonstration. Physical training is now an important item on the school curriculum, and more so since the gymnasiuny was provided, Principal Archibald, in opening the programme and welcoming the par- ents and friends of the pupils ex- plained that the programme had been prepared under great difficulties ow- ing to illness among the students during the past few weeks, 4 The training of the boys was done under the supervision of Mr, Fergu- son, physical instructor, and with the girls by Miss Allison and Miss Bur- wash. All of the exercises were ex- ceedingly good and merited the ap- plause they were given. 'Lhe program included ; grand march, senior girls; introductory exercises, boys; wand drill, junior girls; work on parallel bars, boys' gymnasium class; clicking dumbell drill, senior girls; work on horse, boys' gym. class; Swedish folk dance, junior girls; tumbling, boys' gym class; mimetics, senior girls; pyramids, boys' gym class. The performances of two little boys dressed ag clowns, Wyman Booth and Billy Hanna, were good and aniusing, adding much to the enjoyment of the programme, Atter the exercises there was a dance on the fine gymnasium floor for the students, WOMEN OBSERVE 1 DAY OF PRAYER | Impressive Service in Baptist | Church on Friday After- noon The Women's World Day oi Pray- er, an interdenominational service aranged for all parts of the world, and with "The Witnessing Church" as the central theme, was well obser- ved in Whitby on Friday afternoon. Over one hundred women, repre- senting all local churches and the Salvation Army, assembled in the au- ditorium of the Baptist Church, where the international programme was carried out. Mrs. T. F. Bect, of the Baptist Church, was leader, and with her on the platform were leaders from each of the churches. Mrs. Michael presided at the pipe organ, and a choir led the singing. During the service solos were ren- dered by Mrs. Price. Prayers were offered for the chuch at home and abroad, for the cause of missions ev- erywhere, for those proclaiming the gospel in foreign land and out of the way places, and for a quickening of christian workers everywhere ag wit- nessed for Christ and His Kingdom. All took part in the responsive read- ing and in the bright singing which featured the service. ORONO MAN BADLY INJURED WHEN CAR RUNS DOWN HILL (Continued from page 1) ergency brake had not been ses cured and in some way which can not be accounted for the machine started forward as Wood was cranking. The fender struck him and knocked him down. The grade is steep at this point and the car rapidly gained speed. Fearing that | there would be a disaster Wood 'leaped on the running board in a brave attempt to stop the run- away vehicle. The rear door was open. Still standing on the running board the driver leaned over the front seat and frantically grabbed at the steering wheel and brake. But the hill was slippery with ice and he cculd not control the car's mad dash. Swerving from side to side it struck the corner of a stable and then careened into the ditch near the bottom of the hill, "It is. a miracle that we were not all killed," Mrs. Wood in- formed The Times when called by telephone this morning. Dr. McCullough, of Orono, was called and after giving first 3id to the injured man he ordered his removal to the Bowmanville Hos- pital. As far as can be ascertained he suffered no other injuries and his condition is considered favor able, ORCHARD CARE Much of the success in fruit grow- ing is secured through the proper pruning and preparation of trees for their natural purpose, With the warm sunny days of spring just a few weeks ahead. orchardists are be- ginning to think of getting their or- chards into shape for the year's work For' good results there should be a definite objective, particularly in the work of pruning, and for this purpose the horticultural experts of the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture have prepared a bulletin, "Modern Or- «hagd Practices" (No. 129).
