This seed is shipped in bags stamped "Product or Canada" wîth the growers name on each bag. Mr. Rickard runs a seed cleaning plant as wehl as a large grain and Shorthorn farin.

Opened Here Tuesday By Christian School Soc. (Contributed) Knox Christian School Soc- iety (Inc.) opencd its new schoo] Tuesday with an enrolment of nearly 80 pupils. The schooh, located on 101/ acres near the town himits on Scugog Street (south of Gaud's Corner), might well have been cailed the Cedar Grove School but the Society decided to honour the memory o! the Father of the Presbytcrian Church, J o h n Knox. This name indicates the spiritual basis of the worhd and life view o! the people who own, maintain, and operate the school. è Its educational goal and cmphasis is to perpetuate that world and lifc view in the minds and hearts of the child- ren which God has gîven them. The school provides Elemen- tary Education as prescribed in the Course of Study for the Public and Separate Schools of Ontario. Its purpose is to co- operate and, in a sense, to sup- plement the program of public education; it is not in compet- ition with the public schools. Teaching Program At Knox Christian the young- sters wiil be trained "in the ýnurture and admonition o! the Lord . . . that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly fur- nished unto al] good works." It is a program that is aimed to develop good Christian Canad- ian citizens. Knox Christian can and wilh be specific in in- oulcating that Christian doctrine which the parents behieve to be the purest and most consistent interpretation of divine revela- tion. This purpose is scen as con- sistent with the demand of God, "That they shouid makie thcm (God's testimony) known to their children, that the gen- eration to corne might know them, even the children which should ho born; 'who cshould arise and declare them to their their hope in God and flot for- get His works." It is a ques- tion also of simple obedience f to their solcmn promise, givent at baptism, that they will l'in. struct them to the utmost of ttheir power, and cause themn to be instructed. Standards of Reformed Faitht The "aforesaid doctrines" which the parents pro!ess art the three Standards o! the Re- -formed faith, viz: The Belgie Confession, the Heidelberg Cat. echism, and the Canons o! Dort. They are parallel to the Pres- byterian Standards embodied in The Westminster Confession and the Catechisms. Knox Christian is a private school. It is flot a denomina- tional, not a parochial school under control of a church. It is not a missioniary school for (Continued on page seven) Orono Orphans Going Strong In Playoffs Orono Orphans scorcd an easy 9-2 viçtory over their hosts at Port Hope Thursday o! last weck to take a one game lead in their best-of-five series for the Lakeshore Intermediate Basebaîl League title.

Hîggon gave bis assurance that this wouhd be added before the end o! the year. In his public property report, Coun. Higgon brought forth the suggestion o! installing the new mercury vapor type lights along Division and Temperance from Qucen to Church. These brighter lights he pointed out would be help!ul to motorists and police because of the volumne of actîvity around the arena and high school. OnL the recommendation o! the ar- ena committee he asked that two additional lights be placed behind the arena in the parking arca. Couneil agreed with Coun. Higgon's suggestion and also felt that the new ights should be placed on Silv~er froîn Church to King. A letter will be sent to the P.U.C. asking that these liglita be installed. 1 % 'BOWMANVILLË.
