Gibson, 49 Tranby Ave., Toronto: Find $2.00 for your valuable paper which we do enjoy so mucb, but sonry to rend 0f so many fine young men froni Durhami C o u n t y paying the supreme sacrifice in this great war. Oui deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved familles. Mis. Harry Baskerville, 95 Bartlett Ave., Toronto 4: Friend George: Enclosed find $2.00 foi another year's subscription to The Statesman. 1 don't know many wbo are left down there now but I don't want to cut myseif off entirely from the old town. If you would like some snow we can give it you. Dear George: The Statesman bas had a series of articles on the advantages of township scbool areas, and I arn inteîested to note that in my native township of Coîborne in Huron County, adjacent ta Gode- îich'. wbere I got my public schoo1l education beginning with the 91d log scbool, a change goes into effect from January, 1945. A board of five members elect- ed in December at the sanie time as the township councillors will take the place of the section trus- tees. Tbey bave met and elected their chairman and are ta appoint a secretary-treasurer and meet montbly. All this is a great ad- vance from the days of my boy- bood. JOHN ELLIOTT. London, Ont. T. H.- McCready, Lethbridge, Alberta: Dear George: Here is my annual renewal for 1945, even though I have been away for s0 many years, I stili get a lot of en- joyment in reading your paper eacb week wben it arrives. I especially get a lot of kick out of your editorials, you put a real punch into most of theni and I can tbaroughly agîce witb most of theni. I see that Ontario bas just suf- fered another bad stanm, reading of the sevçral storms you bave had this winter rather makes me glad that I arn living bere in Southern Alberta, known bere as "the Banana Beit," possibly be- cause of the mildness of most of of our winters. Sa fan this sea- son we bave not had a single stanm, just a few nice snowfalls and veîy. littie cold weatbeî. When you are making one of your rather frequent western trips I would very much like to bave you came to Letbbridge and give me the opportunity to show you part of the attractions of this southein part of the Province, its coal mines and its irrigation systenis as weli as its great wbeat fields and ranches. As Leth- bridge unfortunately is not locat- ed on the main ine, we so seldoni see the many friends that some- tumes do make a western trip, not nearly as many as we would like to see. 1 was very glad ta see the re- ports of Bill and to know he was fully recovered froni bis wound, also to see bis promotion to the rank of Major, on the other hand I have noted the many Bowman- ville and Durhami lads wbo bave made the supreme sacrifice and it seenis that Durhami bas suffer- ed s0 many such casualties. For 1945 I would like to wish you and your family and the staff of The Statesman, a very pros- perous New Yeaî witb the hope that this year will bring comnplete Victory. Mis. M. A. Young, 315 Brock St., River Heights, Winnipeg: Dean Mi. James: Enclosed please find my postal note for The Statesman, my home town paper. You people in Ontario are cer- tainly having a taste of stormy weatber - better give Ontario back ta the Indians (or Bracken) and come out ta Manitoba - ha! I certainly enjoyed the letter written by Brigadier G.* F. Hol- lande witb the description of the marvelous work and wonderful results obtained. It was so cheer- ing in these awful tumes. I refer to the letter in The Statesman of Dec. 28, 1944. It is my belief that man nom' stands on the threshold of Pn unequalled crea- tive period, because this world is 50 tired of the orgy of destruction that we are now passing througb. Let us remexnber the woîds of Tennyson's Ring Out Wild Belîs, and take it as a symbol of man 's hope for a better future tbnough the cbanging tumes. "Ring out the darkness of the land, ring in the Christ that is to be." Witb tbese Pro-Nuptial Shower for Miss Ann Buttery, R.N. A very pleasing and pretty shower of kitchen gifts was ac- corded Miss Ann Buttery, R.N., by fifteen of ber girl friends over the week-end in bonor of ber ap- proaching marriage. The event was arranged by a cornmittee con- sisting of Mis. Ivan Hobbs and Miss Dorothy Nichols, town, and Mis. C. H. lvtewett and Mis. John Borîowdale, Oshawa. This surprise for Miss Buttery, who is a nurse in charge of a Red Cross unit at Ajax, Ont., took place at the home of Mis. Hobbs and the evening was devoted to entertainment, congratulations, a very dainty lunich and the piesen- tations. Miss Butteîy returned to ber duties Monday and the date and particulars of the wedding will be announced in due course. Canadian Federation of Agriculture To Hold Ninth Annual Meeting Nine yeaîs ago in November a group of f arm leaders across Can- ada, attending the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, met to discuss the formation of some type of Nation- al organization wbich would federate ail existing organized faim groups in the Dominion and provide theni with a medium thîough whicb they could speak with a united National voice on matters affecting the farming in- dustry. The result was The Canadian Federation of Agriculture, which will hold its Nintb Annual Meet- ing in Regina on January 18, 19 and 20. It bas 17 member bodies, whicb in tuin have an individual membersbip of almost 350,000 farmers stretched across the Do- minion from coast to coast, and embracing practically ail phases of organized agriculture. The Federation within the past year or two bas been playing an increasing prominent role in agri- cultural aff airs, botb nationally and internationally. It now bas representation on no less than 15 Government Advisory Boards at Ottawa, and President H. H. Han- nani is Chairman of the over-l Advisory Commîttee to the Can- adian Food Board and tbe Federal Minister. He was also a member of the Canadian delegation to the international food conference. In the recent- Dominion-Provincial production conference at Ottawa, seven of the executive of the Federation, including the presi- dent, occupied seats at the con- ference table and took part in the deliberations. Post-war planning in agricul- ture, involving discussions on fu- ture problems in marketing of agricultural products, f loor prices legislation, federai marketing acts, and kindred topics, will om large on the prograni of tbe an- nual meeting at Regina in Janu- ary. GIRL GUIDE NEWS There will be a meeting of the lst Company's Court of Honour at Captain Coucb's home, Jan. 12, at 7 o'clock. i Remember, kids, the tie is 3 fingers above the belt, not 3 fin- gers below the collar. Yvonne Wood and Patsy Smith passed their knot test as requiied for their second ciass. JMan Roach passed ber fuither knowledge. Experience is victor, neyer the vanquished; and out of defeat comes the secret of victory. That to-morrow starts fromn to-day and is one day beyond it, robes the future with bope's rainbow bues. -Mary Baker Eddy. For tight & chesty eeughs, Bronchida 50e ALEX LAURA SECORD CANDIES Annual Convention 0f Apple Growers The 34th annual convention and banquet of the Northumberland and Durhami Apple Growers' As- sociation was beld at Cobourg, on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 1945, with an at- tendance of 150, which, consider- ing the weather and the state of the roads was evidence of the keen interest of growers in this famed orchard district. Authori- tative speakers discussed many things of Up to date interest prior ta election of officers for tbe cur- rent year. Prof. R. W. Thonipsan, Provin- cial Entomologist, O.A.C., Guelph, deait witb changes in the spray calendar and told of steps taken to contrai a comparatively new insect pest, the red bug, wbich is causing considerable fruit dam- age. Tbe best contrai found sa far is nicotine-suiphate applied as a calyx spray. Don Bray, Assistant Pamologist of Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, dealing with orchard practices, stated that 100 acres in tbe Brighton-Trenton aiea had been taken over as a local experi- mental station. Located at Smith- f ield, Ont., tbe work among apple and small fruits will be carried on for the benefit of fruit grow- ers in this central area. Considerable discussion centred about establishment of a co-oper- ative storage plant to serve grow- ers. This met with general ap- praval but was opposed by W. A. Fraser, M.P., Trenton, a large orchardist whô took the opposite of the co-operative view. An in- teresting tecbnical address on cold storage was presented by George Wilson, Director, Ontario Fruit Branch, Toronto. Guest speaker at the banquet was Rev. P. J. Kelly, Cobourg, whose reminiscences and Irisb wit captivated the audience. Market- ing problems were reviewed by R. L. Wheeler, Dominion Fruit and Vegetable Dept., Ottawa, and the open discussion was led by Morley Webster, District Field- man, Ontario Fruit Brancb, Brighton. He dealt at some lengtb witb destruction of trees by rab- bits owing to the beavy snow con- ditions. Russell Osborne, Newcas tl1e, was convenor of the resolutions and nominating committee and the following officers were elect- ed for 1945. Past Pres. Harold Gibson, Newcastle; Pres., John Alyea, Trenton; Vice Pres., Irwin Colwell, Newcastle; Sec'y-Treas., E. A. Summers; Directors: Dur- hami County, W. F. Rickard, How- ard Gibson, Newcastle, F. R.
