PAGE TENTHE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO * SÂtJ1bbJA.fl~A ~~AtJA.JJ~4Sb 1O~ ARUM spacious li sen home Three Days at Cherry Hili ll n h around us By O.V.C. developi fhomes, in Cherry Hill Farm, Unionville, the home of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Madsen, known now to many as the Danish-Canadian pioneer off the Canadian Folk School movement, was the scene off much activity recently when some 30 people, ranging in age from six- teen to sixty, gathered for a Folk School Refresher Course, in pre- paration for similar schools which it is expected will be held in various Ontario counties through- out the coming months. Fmom many parts off Southern Ontario we came - ffrom Man- ltoulin, Grey and Bruce in the north-west; Lambton and Elgin in the south-west; Peterborough and Durham in the centre, as well as from neighbouring York, Peel and Ontario. Durham County was represented by Betty McHolm, from Welcome; Shirley Quantrill, from Elizabethville; Glenn Larm- er, fromn Blackstock, and Oakley Carley, from Cavan, who were present for the entire cmrse; and by Ed. and Olive Milison, ffrom Orono, who were wîth us for some off Saturday affternoon and evening sessions. In fact, the at- tendance fmom Durham, if not the hhghest, was equalled by only one other county. From varlous con- versations, it appeared that many off us were present through the co-operation and the support off our local Federations off Agricul- ture, which is an indication off the growing interest in this rural1 welfare and aduit education move- ment. For some, 1 t was the first visit to Cherry Hill Farm, to othersj It was a eturn to the scenes off many pleasant associations in past days - at the Pilot Folk School two years ago, as well as the1 annual folk dance festivals andi reunions. For some, it was the( first experience of a folk sehool: for others who had attended or conducted such schools else- where, it was an opportunity for exchanging experiences w i t h others, and off gaining inform- ation and receiving a renewal off inspiration, which would enable them to carry on more effficiently in the days ahead. The sehool commenced activity on Thursday,.evcning, when the early arrivais, about fiftecn off us, sat down to supper. More ar- rived from time to time through- out the evening, others came in the ffollowing morning. School commenced in earnest then, the group meeting in the assembly r o om, famiiiarly known as "Cherry Hall." in the lower floor off the big barn which has been entirely converted for use as a folk school building. Here. in front off a fine, new stone fire- place, varlous speakers addrcssed the "seholars," conducted dis- cussion groups and carried on other activities. One off the main topirs taken up was the reports off various schools conducted dur- ing the past two years. The methods off operathon, the strong points and the weak ones, and the resuits obtained were ail gone in- to with the purpose off making the schools off the future more effective, or guide- those who would be conducting folk schools for the first time. It was agreed that more publicity, in the way off pictumes, films, reports to com- munity newspapers and radio stations, personai interviews and invitations, was necdcd to extend the knowledge and the apprecia- thon off these schools. The program off Saturday fol- lowed the pattern off the previous day. By way off variation,, in the evenings we met in the beautifful Tested in Your Soi!! Proved in Your Kilns!

Better Packaging And Grading Apples For Retail Sale 1'We would like consumners to know what they can expect when they buy apples at their localý store," Agriculture Minister T. L. Kennedy off Ontario said today in announcing a new commercial' display competition at the Roy4i Agricultural Winter Fair, Nv 14 - 22. The exhibit is being jointlyI sponsored by the Department of Agriculture and the Royal.

'At the' sanie time the display wilI show other growers and packers of app!eý how good a job can be done in merchandising their products." The competition is open to any group off three or more bona fide apple growers or to growers' co- operative selling organizations.
