t jm ww may it never wane evidence has been clearly given tharwe com munity spirit of putting across art event in spite of big handicaps is not lacking especially in the rural sections hereabouts school section ntf 3 nskagaweyatovwishjplsn fha1tr3pterativfun that local pride in an instftufion that friendliness and welcome were in evidence when no 3 marked its centennial on the weekend in a summer which has been notable for its lack of rainfall the event was handicapped by the most torrential rain and storm which has come to the district this yearv neither the rain or lack of workers to carry on the event deterred the folk of the district from carrying the centennial ar rangements through most successfully there was that same rugged spirit of meeting difficult situations that must have been inherited fromthe early pioneers who settled the section its pleasing to note that such spirit has not been lost down through the years as long as jt is retained home coming and reunions will always be possible and congratulations are in order for those who dare to face handicaps and the work involved and the example thai ss no 3 gave the past weekend the spelling bee returns we aret pleased to note that the canadian national exhibition is this year reviving some thing that has long been dropped from our edu cational systern with very disastrous results to the generations

countries the eighth world jamboree of the boy scouts association is now in session at niagaraonthelake it is the first time such an event has ever been held on the north american continent the last

appropriately known as tfe jamboree of peace the event now being held for the first time in north america has been named the jamboree of new horizons it is a most challenging title for canada and this

announced the sale of the cakvilletrafalgar journal has been negotiated to the thomson newspaper chain of weeklies and small dailies to the north the management of the orangeville banner has been delegated to w e bill mccartney who was for several years managing director of the canadian weekly news- paper association and prior to holding that post was manager of the guelph mercury in oakville

compete we dont suppose any any of the children attending school today would be lured into such an event for less than 64000 but there may be adults who are still interested in competition for the sake of the race and those in charge of this big event are to be congratulated on any attempt to maintain interest in such an important part of education as spelling spelling and mental arithmetic were very im portant in other days in school work anything that is done to revive interest in them is com mendable it might even merit a grant from the department of education and attain more results
