marshal of the royal air force sir edward ellington mr k handley page and mr a l self olt is quite clear that the british government would not send out such a representative mission as this un- leas they were much in earnest and ready to place substantial orders in the hands of the canadian manu facturers much new equipment will probably have to he installed in the factories this will take time will probably be a long term plan which will be discussed by the mem- j here of the mission with the aircraft if industry in this country but it is cer- tain that the british government is convinced from the report of the alr mission which visited here a short time ago that canada is in a posi tion to turn out satisfactory aircraft it has been said that orders totaling 100 million dollars may be placed in canada but that is for the future to show an expert from the royal air force will also come to canada to discuss the training of raj pilots in this country the bitter controversy that jaged about this question in the final hours of the session before proroga tion the speeches at the conserva tive convention and the explanation of the governments attitude by the prime minister have been fully cov ered in the dally press throughout the country and need no further mention nothing will be known the number of men the raj want to train in canada or the conditions under which the training wilt carried out until tiie expert arrives and discusses plans with government officials here the prime minister re cently stated that his offer to the british government was gratefully re- eelved toy the british authorities with the spirit of cooperation which is in evidence it seems to the ordin ary layman that there should be little difficulty for the raj to secure adequate faculties for training in this country under the discipline and with the wholehearted cooperation of the department of national defence nay be assumed that the air school would not toe debarred from utiliza tion of the best british instructional mud technical skill available how- ver all these matters will be includ ed in the g arrangements the new leader of the national oons native party dr matuon not now a

town is the number of people who apparently cannot read yes dear reader hundreds of em it makes people outside the town think that georgetown must be one of the most illiterate and unappreei- atlve towns in the province and that is putting it mildly compar ed to what prof theile of waterloo president or the ontario bands mens association thinks for on the very front page of the herald last week appeared a notice announcing the band concert and pros- entatlonlasi thursday evening and vet only a mere handful of music fans made their appearance afthe theatre it must have been very discouraging to those in charge of the concert and especially mayor gibbons and the members of council held to give the citizens a chance to show their appreciation of the bands achievement at the waterloo musical festival to have so much criticism levelled their way due to the lack of support the band was given on this occasion maybe some people didnt know that george town band competed at the waterloo musical festival and maybe they didnt know thatr they were first prize winners in class a the highest class at the festival there was no letdown in prof thelles remarks when he said that the citizens of georgetown should turn out one hundred percent whenever the band makes an appearance as in other towns he has visited as we see it it isnt a case of the citizens not appreciating the band for we dont believe there is a single person hi the community who does not delight in boasting of itsrmerlts the trouble seems to be that georgetown is seriously lacking the old home town boosting spirit and of getting out and working hard to put over any community undertaking they set back and take things mare or less for granted not only is this true in the case of the band but in other in most towns in ontario and no doubt georgetown will eventu ally fan in line the town band is threatening to come into its own for two score and ten it has been the pinch hitting musical organisa tion of every village and hamlet true it functioned at intervals bot when the proletariat began to mobilise for the observance of armistice day dominion day etc the town band with one or two rehearsals to its credit was usually there at the head of the parade otherwise it enjoyed calm and peaceful somnwnce within a decade the town band has shaken off the lethargy in difference and setfsstlsfww air that has always characterised its ef forts today it is listed ssoong the active up and coming organisa tion of most every co it has passed from the class regarded at ttshnmss and now tops theust of communis assets the town band ha suddenly taken a new hold on life it is a potential force for errie pride and growth and tt is carrying to the tarensvthe shop factory and wherever men ton a finer and deeper sense of anprectation for good made it is doing more than au these it is stripping from our lift some of the aordtdnes and that has held os down to hard pan it is making canada musical the town band has become just as much an tntegral part of the jlfe of a vfflagb as good roads a library r town ban or any mstltntlon maintained by public funds and why notr- if these and others an provaled to develop and continue the sockd ctrtc o or literary side of tb town why not the proper moral and flnsncisl sop- port to bund up and keep alrre the mnsfcal side tl province it in a new h qoattty that

cooperative groups have started manufacturing- in england he said in the united states such organiza tions are directing manufacturing along some lines he added cooper ation of farmers through the milk producers association and the on tario milk control board show that such progress is possible he contend ed he urged ufo clubs to cooperate in assisting agricultural representat tlves to promote short courses he al so said it gave him pleasure to know that there was an increasing demand for the services of agricultural rep resentatives and the facilities of the department of agriculture most of the educational work along cooperative lines has been brought about by meetings in the form study groups said the minister to people interested the movement must become a philosophy ttl t a reli

a 6 2 defeat at the hands of the lakeshore outfit the game was featured by some smart plays by both teams but oakvlues heavy hit ting kept the locals off the score sheet after the first innings georgetown started scoring in the first inning when ward got to second base on an error bringing w ritchie home beaumont got a hit to second went to third on another error and r a single by savage

twobagger bringing in carter and wilson and when the sidewu retired oakvllle was leading by two runs hugh mcdermott who started in the box for oakvllle was taken it hi the second inning and don galbralth substituted ptfomng for the remain der of the game without letting in a single run mcdermott went to right field in place of lyon in oakvlues half of the second george galbralth got a twobase hit and came home on a wild throw to third lewis hit a threebagger but was put out with abidden ball much to the disgust of the oakvllle players and the crowd in the grandstand ri proceeded to take it out on the umpire in the next inning the third markey sent the ball sailing over the fence for a beautiful home run thelast tally of the game the rest of the game was fast both pitchers
