installed in the atorestbjswjll take time it will probably be a long term plan which wlu be discussed by the mem- yben of the mission with the aircraft j industry in this country but it is cer- tain that the british government is convinced from the report of the air 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 rap pilots in this

conference on cooperative enterprises i have been very anxious to im prove the educational work being done in ontario said the minister i have arranged with the economics department of the oac at guelph to give a special course as part of the regular ourriculum professor w m drummond head of the economics department will be in charge he intimated he also re vealed that he hoped to have address es given by a brmcdonaid cooper ative layreader in nova scotia and a graduate of guelph oaos i am firmly of the opinion that the cooperuve movement will grow said mr dewan i dont want to see any mushroom growth but in stead sound development 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 mill producers association and the on tario milk control board show that such progress is possible he contend ed he urged ufo clubs to cooperate agricultural repn speaking to a group or weekly pub lishers at dundalk miss agnes mac- phau mp said i think the weekly papers are the important papers they are folksey unhurried and not sentimental she stated that

doing- and thats another speech from a poutican with wblch we are forced to agree wanted boottt for thmhome tbspn band one of the things that surprises one in a smart town like george town is the number of people who apparently cannot read yes dear reader hundreds of em it makes people outside the town think that ge must be one of the most illiterate and unapprecl- atlve towns in the province and that is putting it mildly compar ed to what prof thefle of waterloo president of the ontario bands mens association ttnw for on the very front page of the herald last week appeared a notice announcing the band concert and pres entation last thursday evening and yet only a mere handful of music fans made their appearance at the theatre it must have been very discouraging to those to charge of the concert and especially mayor gibbons and the members of council held to give the citizens a chance to show then- 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 dldnt know that george town band competed at the waterloo musical festival and maybe they dldnt know that they were first prise winners to class a the highest olass at the festival there was no letdown to prof theues 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 lent a case of the cl not appreciating the band or we dont believe there is a single person to the community who does netdelight to boasting of its merits the trouble seems to be that ge isckmgthe eg tame town boosting spirit and instead of getting out and working bard to put over any community undertaking they set back and take things more or less for granted not only is this true to the case of the band but in other community e m most towns in ontario and no doubt george 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 lntervalut when the proletariat bejaa to momhse for the observance of armistice day pomlnlnn oar etc the town band with one or two rehearsals tons credit was osuejjy there at the bead of the parade otherwise it enjoyed cahn and peaceful t wuhtn a decade difference and forts toda it h tion of most every as liabilities and now the town band has shaken off the lethargy m- d air that has always characterised its ef- among the active up and commg orgexusa- mthvtt has passed team the class regarded tops the list of nrsnawnltr i the town hand has suddenly taken a new hold on life it is a

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 of study groups said the minister to people interested the movement must become a philosophy almost a reli gion at tunes they must t learn to face opposition from private inter ests be added the minister told ate gathering that be bad a thorough perdpnall knowledge of the problem by reason j of 12 yean experience i of one of the groups georgetown drop another game defeated by oakville ball so g georgetown failed to tepeat their win of- a few weeks ago when they went to oakvffle last thursday night and took a 6 2 defeat at ahfi bands of the lakeshbre outfit -the- game was featured by some smart plays by both teams but oakvilles heavy bit ting kept the locals off the score sheet after tiie- 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 rd a single by savage brought him home but the two runs that the locale scored in the opening frame were thefr only ones george galbralth first man up when oakvwe went to bat went out at first ridley struck out lewis got to first on an error by the second baseman markey walked and carter got a stogie then with the bases f uu lary wilson knocked a twobase hit and lewis and markey came home benny lanuay hit an other twobagger bringing to carter and wilson and -when-the-slde- was retired oakvffle was leading by two runs hugh mcdennott who started in the box for oakvllle was taken out m the second inning and don gamraith substituted pitching for the remain der of the game without letting in a single run mcdennott went to right field in place of- lyon in oakvilles half or 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 ahldden ball much to the disgust of the oakvllle players and the crowd in the grandstand who 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 retiring the batters in
