I Eugenia Correspondence | COMMISSION WAS AT , PUPILS HAD SUCCESS EUGENIA LAST WEEK AT HIGH SCHOOL The Agricultural Commission of Ontario, comprising the Hon. Dr. Jumieson, our local member, as chair- man, together with several members of Parliament and visitors, visited Eugenia preserve en route to Clarks- burg, where they were scheduled to hold a meeting on Thursday, June li), for the purpose of investigating farm conditions in general, with a view to assis the agricultural problems, of which, we know, the farmer has many, and endeavor, if possible, to alleviate through legislative channels. They took this opportunity of visit- ing the contentious problem of these parts â€" the reserve. Several of the members, while not in a position as a commission to express their opinion individually, they saw the uselessness and antagonizing nature to the sett- lers of this district and assured us of their hearty co-opei"ation with our • local member to bring about the re- moval of restrictions we are at pres- ent laboring under. The arrangements of looking after their requirements while in the vill- age were ably ' looked afer by Mine Host Munshaw and Mr W. E. Morgan. The commission, as a whole, express- ed their appreciation and were de- lighted with the scenic beauty and exhilaratii.g air which can compare favorably with Muskoka or any other summer resort of Ontario, and could I'eadily see the possibilities of the summer resort and the advantages to the county in general. They took advantage while at lunch to express to the Hon. Dr. Jamieson, through Mr. Keith the member for North York and seconded bv Mr. Belanger M.P., for Prescott, their gratitude for the manner in which lie has conducted the Commission and the courtesies shown them on their tour throughout western Ontario. I We are pleased with the success which the uppils of Eugenia met with at their recent examinations in Flesh- ton High School. Jack Park passed into second form, Mae Duckett and Fred Large were both successful in passing into third form, Mae getting one of her subjects from last year's work and Fred getting both the sub- jects which he was taking from last year, in addtion to their exan)s for this year. Flesherton is indeed to be congratulated on the teachers which they have had the past year, to whose credit the success of the pupil so largely is due.
