The club is open toalal reputable citizens in tnwn and adjacent dis- trict as associate members. A goodly program of activities for the year is planned ta include fishing trip during the summer, annual rabbit drive, shooting with chickens as prizes. Then there is the rifle range which is open once a week for target shoot for personal awards from the Do- minion Marksmen Headquarters, and as previausly stated, competi-. tian match shoots. There are eight gold button marksmen who are now shooting for their expert shields. They are Deac Goddard, Walt Goode, Bill Shotter, Len Fowler, Gea. Heath, R. Stacey, Lance Plain and Phil Pattrick. Besides these there are many silver button riflemen and bronze button tyros. The latest awards from Domin- ion Marksmen are.J. O'Neill, sul- ver, rifleman and Phil Patrick, gold marksman. The shoot-off in the local club for selection of members for the team to shoot on the Dominion Marks.men Winter Indoor Cham- pionship competition was held June 4, when some nice targets were scored, but the boys found out that match shooting is some- what different from Dominion Marksmen personal award shoot- ing for a match shooting you must be good, however, high hopes are entertained. Twelve members were present at this shoot. Seven will shoot on match targets of which Do- minion Marksmen will select the five best for the competition. The annual rabbit drive was held on Dec. 13 which was a per- fect success and about which am- ple has already been said.

TOURIST BUSINESS US OOOD BUSINESS ALSIKE GLOVER A peiminary estimate o! the production a! alsike claver seed in Canada in 1947 places it at 31/2 million pounds, about bal! the 1946 output. Canadian requime- monts average about 2y4 million pounds, sa, notwithstanding the Iower production in 1947, there should ho mare than one million, PONTYPOOL Every once in a while a place flames into the news with start- ling suddenness. Elmira, Ontario, hit the jackpot four times in a row recently. Once, when a farmer of the vicinity trucked 25 littie pigs to market and, failing to seli them, took them back home, only ta find that someone else had sur- reptitiously sneaked in an addi- tional five pigs into bis crate when he wasn't looking. Again, when a drink crazed lover thot four people and then killed himself. Since then, a 19-year-old female has been arraigned in 'court and charged with being an incorrig- ible. And the latest "bump" is a hundred thousand dollar fire, which also rendered twelve peo- ple homeless. Elmira isn't such a big burg either. We have often wondered haw New York cauld give such very long rides on its transportation system for a measley little. old nickel. a ride, when other places were charging double that amount. But now we know. Any deficit incurred is taken care of by New York's citizens through their tax- es. If the rest of you readers don't peruse R~ th Hutchinson's column in The St atesman, describing a high brow concert, then you had botter start. In our book Ruth is as cloyer as Pearl McCarthy. And Pearl dishes it out for Toronto papers. Orono not only maintains a rink and juvenile hockey teams, but bas offered its training facilitios to Pontypool. Many thanks, Orono! We bend over backwards to give credit to wôrld renowned figures. While we are at it, why flot give a kindly thought to a native Can- adian who really was "some pumpkins." Dr. A. Graves was born in Peterboro County. When eight years old, he moved with his parents to uncleared land near Fergus, Ont. In 1871 ho started practising medicine and surgery at the age of 24. At the age of 36 he remnoved an appendix fromn a twelve-year-old boy. As far as is known this was the first time the feat had been performed. The third day after the operation had been performed, Dr. Graves called ta see bis patient, when the fa- ther o! the boy tald him what would happen if the boy didn't get better. Ho furtber told the doctor that if he had known as much about bis business as ho should, he would have healed the boy by poulticing, înstead of re- movirig the diseased organ. For- tunately for Dr. Graves, the pati- ent recovered. Instead of the people acknow- iedging this daringly succossful leat, they candemned the young doctor as being too radical and subjected him ta a lot of abuse and disdain. He once said "that the mare instruments and gad- gets a surgeon had ta have around him when perfarming simple op- enations ,the mare he praved haw incampetent he was."' If any of îhe local surgeons read the fore- going and happen ta catch me on ýhcir operating table they will Àkely have revenge by cutting me open with a broken key hale saw, yanking out the aid appendix with a pair o! wire pincers and sutur- ing the wound with rusty barbed wire. We regret ta report the death af -..r. .Wm. Webb. Billy Webb was a kincily disposed man, very in- Liastriaus, honorable and neigb- borly. Until a few years ago he cngaged in farming. We offer aur sympathy ta the bereaved Mrs. WVebb and four children. On Friday night, Mr. Faulkner had the misfortune ta lose bis barn by fire, containing some horses, cattle, pigs and 1947 tobacco crop. It is tbought that an ail heater ex- ploded. In 1946 frost caused se- vere damage ta this gentlehnan's tobacca crop, thus he has been very unlucky in twa succeeding years. He is a first rate chap and we sincerely hope fate may be kinder ta him in 1948. Talk about vagaries in the wea- ther! One day, back here, it was 33 degrees above zero, within 22 bours it was 10 degrees belaw zera.

CITY BIRDS Do you re-ally imagine that liv- ing in a large city denies you the privilege of seeing any bird but a House Sparrow, a Starling, or a stray Robin in springtime? Those witb cars and eyes for Nature's noises and sigbts have found, at one season or another, right amid- st the town bustle, almost every species that cames ta the nearby country districts. Not counting the suburbanite's chance of recog- iiizing a Red-winged Blackbird, a Hlermit Thrusb, and a Black-poll Warbler in spring migration, or a Black and White Warbler in Sep- tomber, the city dweller bas the opportunity o! seeing birds any month o! the year. Occasionai flocks of Evening Grasbeaks, Crossbills, Snowflakes and Redpolls may suddenly in- vade aur parks, or even appear in the trees o! aur boulevards in the coldest weather. Given only one lone treo in aur back yard, we are sure ta have winter visits fram Downy Waadpeckers, White- breasted Nuthatches, and Brown Creepers. Some Owl, be it Bar- red or Screech, is likely ta spend a day sznoozing on oneofo the branches. A bamsh cawing at day- break of ten tells us a Craw is win- tering with us. Vast numbers o! birds nest with- in sound o! aur traffie. Early in May the tîny voices o! Yellow Warblers float down ta us from the beaves ovembead as we walk along the residential streets. We should be acquainted with these golden balîs. About the timo wo are colo- brating Victoria Day, the Night- bawks arrive. Surely everyone bas heard their cry high above aur bouses as they feed an the wing after dark. The pebbled roof-top of a taîl building is al they ask for a nesting site. Orioles raise their yaungsters in the packet-like cradies they have' hung from the upper branches o! elm trees bomdering aur avenues; Tmee Swallows and Sang Spar- rows take advantage o! the foli- age in every city square. Even House Wrens build beside us if the district is camparatively quiet. Goldfinchos pemcb on aur clothes- lines, Bronze Grackles strut on aur front lawns, and Pumple Martins, if Starlings will lot them, inhabit aur eaves. Wo understand why Northern Yellowthroats nest in a bush in a suburban garden, but why should White-throats choose shmubbery in a back yard not bal! a mile from the contre o! a busy city? Yet one pair brought up 'a family in just that locality for five succes- sive summers. If we cannot discover birds in our cities, the feathered folk are not ta blame. Where do Pigeons ariginate? WESLEY VILLE There was a good attendance o! 36 at Sunday Scbool. The Bible Class was led by Mr. George Tuf- fard and Mrs. C. Payne taught the Senior Girls' Class. Miss Bernice Besy and Mrs. Austin weme pros- ont and in charge o! their respec- tive classes. Chumch was held at 11:30 with Dr. Oke preacbing a vemy good sommait. Mrs. Caraoll Nichalîs sang "The Gardon o! Prayer," with Mms. Reeve providing the ac- campaniment. The Annual Chumch Cangrega- tianal Meeting was held at the home o! Mm. and Mms. Arnold Thorndyke on Thursday evening with a vemy good attendance. The Famm Forum was held at the hame o! Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Hughes. The topic discussed was the pros and cons o! a District Co- bperative. The Young People's Union was held at the school-house on Wed- nesday ovening. Mr. George Tuf- fard, the Fellowship canvener, led the discussion. A large number !mam the com- munity attended the fanerai ser- vice o! the lato Mrs. John Paeden at Newtonville Church. Miss Pauline Peters, Morrish, and Messrs. Clarence Nicholis, Murray and Howard Payne spont Sunday a!ternoon at the Balti- more Ski-run. In introduclng Great Britain's Iong-term agricultural plan, which proposes greater home production bY 1952 of milk, eggs and beef, along with increased acreage of oats and barley for food, the Brit- ish Minister of Agriculture em- phasized the need for greater ef- ficiency on the farm. It is hoped that haif of the increase will be achieved through improved farm- ing practice. The Minister said: "We thlnk It should be possible to secure an imprýovement in efficiency, for eg- ample, by improving the average yield per cow or hen, by niaking better use of grassland, whether cultivating it as a crop, in meth- ods of grazing. or in winter con- servation, and by the use of bet. ter stock and better seed." St. Jolrn's'Men': Club Hold Annual Meeting Elect New Officers The annual meeting of the St. John's Men's Club was held Jan. 6, in the form of a Christmas par- ty. Members met at the Parish Hall and then went ta the Carter Family Lunch Room, where a chicken supper was served and greatly enjayed. Af ter the vote of thanks to Mr. C. Carter, the members adjaurned to the club raams where the election of off- icers for 1948 was held. Rev. J. dePencier Wright occupîed the chair for the election of these off- icers: Hon. pres., Clarence Hock- ley; pres., Clarence Bell; vice pres., Lawry Cryderman; secre- tary-treasurer,, Jack Living Sr. Mr. Carter Sr. told the membors he would donate a traphy ta the Club ta ho played for by carpet baîl teams at St. John's. After a few games of cards and carpet baIl, an exchange of gifts was made, each member receiving a gift, the opening o! each gif t be- ing quite a revelation and causod much bilarity. Rev. Wright tbanked the mem- bers for their help ta him in 1947 and looked forward ta greater things in 1948.
