Annual meeting cf the Durhamz County School Trustees & Rate- payers' Association was held in Bethany, Ji.4ne sth, with about thirty persans present. Presideni W. J. S. Rickard opened the meet- ing. Secretary Mrs. J. R. Cooper read thé minutes and a report of activities of Association, chief of which is the public speaking con- test held throughout the county culminating in the final contest held last November i Milbrook. A splendid and interesting re- port of the O.E.A. Convention was given by Mrs. Mont Bickle, Canton. The expected speaker, V. K. Greer, Chief nsetr of public and separate schols being un- able ta attend, was represented by Dr. McDougal-1 wbose work bas been chiefly i New Ontario. This system is graduaily gainmng in favor througbout the province and ia giving sucb satisfaction that educationaliats feel it will flot be long before the wbole pro- vince will be under thia systemh. M. A. Campbell, provincial sec- retary, led i discussion, and In- spectors McEwen and Carlton spoke briefly. Out of the large numbers of trustees and ratepayers through- out Durham County it hs regret- table that more achool boards do not attend thia one meeting of the year te support the Association n its work and ta obtain valuable information. Surely our children's welfare is of primary importance even in this war-torn world. They are our future citizens and must be well equipped to meet their tasks of re-building after the war.

A hase lime was laid ta a small streamn nearby and an effort made ta pump water from there but ater operating for about two midnutes a connecting rod in the fire truck engine shat- tered and the apparatus went dead.
