Gowling, takes second place to no one in the matter of experience, With a record behind him which includes 49 years of teaching 20,- 000 pupils and 37 years as a member of the board, fellow trustees had no doubt they chose the right man when this year they elected Mr, Gowling to a fourth term as chair- man, As a school trustee, Mr. Gowling takes particular interest in the wel- fare of teachers and other school personnel. Unprejudiced by his own business interests, he backed the establish ment of a school of fine arts and applied science in 1811. The school gave students from grades 7 to 10 courses in typewriting, shorthand and other commercial subjects. Girls, he says, are better than boys at shorthand and typewriting. The male side, however, ig triumph- gut in mathematics and book-keep- Bg.

Wartime drives to grow more food and diversion of chemicals for ammunition produce tion have resulted in a general de- cline ot soil fertility While the present demand for fertilizers is ahs normal, supplies are short, # b replenishment,. owing to war wwMages to main sources of supply, is on a lower scale than before the war. To bridge over the critical period of shortages in fertilizers, the Com- bined Food Board of the United Nations has set up two bodies to insure equitable distribution. The International Emergency Food Council (IEF.C.) with headquar- ters in Washington, D.C., is the main and final authority for world fertilizer allocation. The Emergency Economic COmmittee for Europe (EECE), which has its office in London, England, acts as a regional advisory body proposing allocations for Burope and collects statistical . information, The Fertilizer Working Commit- tee of the EROCE. estimates that world fertilizer output in 1946-47 will be in excess of pre-war, but still not large enough to satisfy demand, RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE 'BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N.,, Whitby .
