B RO*' S Vol. 2. No. 6. ORONO, ONT., THURSDAY, MAR. 3, 1958. Subscription, $1.25 Per Year. Winners At Athletic Meet At Millbrook Rewarded Wind Up Short Course With Banquet And Dance In Evening Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Attend the Banquet Furnished by the W. I. The banquet of the Durham Short Courses bn Agriculture and Home Beonomics was held! on Friday, Feb- ruary 25 th, in the Orono town hall, with a Capacity attendance. The banquet marked the termina- tion of a very successful' and keenly appreciated month of studies on the various subjects of interest to the young men and women of the Coun- ty. The highlight of the evening was the remarkable and intelligent manner in which the young people handled their speeches in giving ^ the various toasts and responses. They would be a credit to any town or city in our fair province, and we are proud to see such intelligence and capabilities in our young people ' of today who will he our men and wo- men leaders of tomorrow. The banquet hall and dance hall were beautifully decorated with mauve and yellow streamers and col- ored balloons.; The banquet tables were «gleam with color and detectable food. Approximate 150 students and their friends sat down to a delicious dinner, during which there were sev- eral intermissions for community singing and a short program. 'Miss Kathleen Stark and Mrs. A. Roy favored with solos; Messrs. 0. Tamblyn, -LdRoy Brown, D, Hamm sand -G. Rowe comprised a brass quar- tette; violin solo by Mr. Cranston Scott and the program closed with a mixed quartette by Messrs, L. "Brown and Ross Allen, Misses Beatrice H'aimm and Lena Kimball. Toastmaster E, A/ Summers, B.S, A., opened the banquet with snatches of witticism and the introduction of the first toast “To Our Country,” which was given by Mr. LeRoy Brown in a very admirable manner. Mr. W, F. 'Rickard, M.P.. and Mr. C. G. Mer- cer, M.L.A. responded in :a« few in- teresting words on the problems of o-ur , government in equipping and providing ways1 and means to give the youth qf our country every advantage in developing a future for themselves, either on the farms or in industry. Mr. «Rickard stated that the idleness of our youths; was one of the greatest problems of the governmen t, ‘touring 1937 the government; spent $1,000,- 000 alone for the training of youth of this country. 30,000 men and women took advantage of the opportunities offered along various lines. The de- partment of Agriculture co-operated with the Province in these courses. More than 50 per cent, of our popula- tion have been maintained by agri- culture. Some will say the farmer has had a hard time, but who hasn’t, 1 think that perhaps there is- no place today where we are better off than right on the farms of this country and. if we have the co-operation of our fmvornment and consumers our problems will foe minimized, hut, we NEED GOOD ROADS Hon. P. M". Deiwan, 'Ontario Minis- ter of Agriculture, in his- opening remarks at the Good Roads Conven- tion held in Toronto last week told those present that in 'these days, when motor vehicles provide the, chief mean's of travel and of haulage for farmers, good country road« consti- tute an important, factor in the con- tentment and the material welfare of the people who live in rural areas. Good roads and agricultural prosper- ity are closely 'allied. •‘What I have just, said was recog- nized many years ago,” he continued, pointing out that in 1896 the Pro- vincial Department of Agriculture 'appointed a man named A. W. Gamp- bell to the position of Provincial In- spector of road making. His work and his co-operation with rural coun- cils prepared the way for the passing in 1901 ,>f the Highway Improvement Act, iSince the year 1896, rapid strides have been made in road building, said Mr. "Dewaii, until now there are about 8,000 miles of county roads and well over 7,00 miles of,provincial highways in Ontario. He spoke of the inspection branch established at Gravenliurst by the Department, of Agriculture for in- specting every load of produce mov- ing by truck, into Northern Ontario. If the goods are not properly packed they must be repacked or the load is turned back, he said, pointing out that from August to December, 1936, a. total of 2,208 trucks were inspected. Other inspection points are under consideration, Mr. Dewan stated. “From, what I have been able to team, there is an ever-increasing de- mand from farmers for snow removal on county and township roads,” the speaker tod. in pointing out that provincial highways clear of snow meant little or nothing to the man living on the back roads. Farmers (point out that they «do not keep driv- ing horses as they did some years (Continued on page four) must be consistent and try to work together. If we do that we should have no fear for the future of Can- ada.” Mr. Mercer stated that these short courses in Orono bad been one of ’ the most successful courses ever car- ried, out, in the 'County of Durham, and, that the ones responsible should be congratulated. “We are looking toward these young men and women who have been taking these courses to develop and improve our County' when their time comes. The toast to “Our Guests” was given by Miss Leila Welsh and re- sponded. to -by Councillor H. Lowery, Mrs. O. W. Rolph and Mr. Norman Hogg. Mrs, Rolph emphasized1 to the young people that they should ever remember what our country is doing (Continued' on page four) HOCKEY NEWS Did Their Plowing In Cutaway Coats That progressive Clarke Union far- mer Colin (Smith, just won’t wear overalls. Bill Armstrong isays “Colin is the only Scotch Tory in all of Can- ada.” The other day Colin went in to buy a smock from Bill and 'told him it was the first one he had ever bought in his life,” When Bill tried to sell Colih a pair of overalls to go with the smock Colin said the only pair of overalls he: ever .bought in his life was eleven yeaâ„¢, ago'from Bill and that he traded mem off the other day to a man for a half a day’s work. The question is what are appro- priate clothes for farm work ? When tire late C. G. Armstrong bought and «sold the late -Sam McCabe’s general store at Lotus, ©am had twenty-one cutaway black worsted men’s coats with those little short tails like some men wore fifty years ago1, and hun- dreds of pairs of cowhide gaitors with pegged soles, that the stretch in the elastic on either side bad gone out of years before. C. G. ©old1 the cutaway coats at ninety-five cents each and the cowhide gaitors for sixty-five cents a pair, with the « result that twenty-one farmers did their fall' plowing that year wearing cowhide gaitors and a. black cutaway coat. A farmer ploughing in a. cutaway coat and gaitors: certainly looks as though he owns the farm, while a fel- low wearing overall's and a smock might be just the hired man.

The game finished1 in a 6 all tie with (both sides almost play- ed., the players (being helped off the ice, being unable to leave on their own power. The Milk-Maids started in. fast and scored twice before Major’s crew settled down. The import for the Milk-‘Maids was K. Neale and for the M P.k-Shakes R. Goode. Tamblyn, the Milk-Maids brilliant goalie, had the upper hand on Major’s fast break- ing forwards and held them to six goals, one less than last game, which shows that he is improving. Duke Mercer, Kutch’s hard working for- ward and Ray Goode, Major’s newest addition, were always mixing it, be- sides playing brilliant hockey. Wan- nan turned in his usual good game and had at least 12 good shots on J, Tamblyn. This fellow ought to go places ini -a year or so. Mercer and Tamblyn were the best for the Milk- Maid's, while Wannan and Goode were the beat for the Milk-Shakes. MeCutcheon’s Milk-Maids â€" J. TaimMyn; defence, MeOnticbeon and iR.

This company will run another one in a few week's and will, be well worth see- ing. This Company can be relied on to give the public the best pictures. Shields and Medals Presented To Pupils At Literary Meeting RACHEL DIANA MILLER Orono lost one of its highly and respected citizens in the persons of Rachel Diana Miller, who passed «peacefully away at her home on Cen- tre «Street on Sunday, Fdbrua«ry 27th, 1938, from a, stroke she suffered, on Monday, February 7th, and from which she failed, to rally. At times it seemed that she was gradually im- proving, but she «lowly weakened un- til the end. Born at Kirby on June 7th, 1851, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mm Henry LaRue Powers, and spent her childhood in that village where she attended school and also attended grammar school at Oakwood. In 1881 she married John Miller and moved to 'Orono where she spent the remand'er of her life. The late Mrs. Miller took a very keen interest, in the affairs of Park St. United Church, of which she was a member, being choir leader for a «great number of years, teacher of a 'Sunday School class and was president of the W. M. <S. of which later she was made an honorary member. Her husband predeceased her in July, 1929, ,and she was the last sur- viving member of a family of six chil- dren. iS«he leaves to mourn her loss, mie son Çha«9. T. Miller, of Orono. The funeral service was held in Park St. United Church on Wednes- day afternoon at 3 o’clock, the ser- vice being in charge of B«ev. J. H. Oaterhout, assisted by Rev. Mr. Parks, of Aurora. Interment was made in the Orono Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. W. P. Rickard', M.P. and C. L. Powers (nephews), Arthur Robbins, Madison Hall, A. J. Knox and H. M. Milson. Flowers were received from the fallowing : Pillow, from her son Char- les; W. F. Rickard, M.P., A. N. Rob- bins, O. L. Powers; Roy Bell, of Philadelphia ; Mrs. T. H. Powers, of BowmanvlJe; George Arnold and1 T. H. Esteiihrook, Toronto; Rotary Club and Mrs. T. H. Powers, Bbwmanville; J. J. Gilfillan, Charles Tyrrell, M'adi- son Ball, the Hooper Family, W.

Miss Adele Morton and Miss Olive Brown Win the Special Shields The Orono Continuation School Commencement Exercises were held in the School Assembly Hall on Tues- day evening, March 1st. At the same time the school Literary meeting was combined with the Commencement program. Miss Thelma Myles, Presi- dent of the Literary iSbciety, opened the meeting with an introductory ad- dress, while Mr. Ken. S'haekleton read the minutes of. the previous meeting. Mr. Wm. Armstrong acted as chairman' for the commencement ex- ercises. The presentation of the ath- letic medals and shield we,re distribut- ed by 'Mr. )S. R. Widdis, with a few remarks to the effect that he hoped Orono school would be able to main- tain the shield next year in their competition with the Millbrook school, and asked the students who were interested in 'the participation of athletics to do their utmost in the meantime in practising for next year’s field day as it would be in- creasingly difficult next year. He pointed out that the medals and shields being presented, would in the future, be a tangible «something to re- member «school days, when Latin and. French, Geojnbtery and Algebra, would be forgotten. The athletic medals were presented to Messrs. Richard Morton, James Powers, Gordon Lea men and Misses Jean Forrester, Helen Case and Helen Scott. The General «Proficiency Shield was presented by «Mr. Charles Tyrrell. “It gives me a great deal, of pleasure in donating and presenting the Tyrrell trophy tonight, won by Miss Adele Morton, who stand's highest in gen- eral proficiency. The shield1 is the property of the school to be competed for annually. The shield, itself is something that is very small in com- parison to what it stands for which means something tremendous. The fact that iit has come from the store to the school is merely a sign of ap- preciation of 0ur friendly business relationship. With this shield I take «pleasure .in wishing Miss Morton every success in the future.” Miss M. E. Galloway presented two very valuable and instructive books, (Continued on page four) Clarke Township Council Hold Quiet Session The following; bills were passed at the regular monthly «session o«f the Clarke Township Council1, held in Orono on Tuesday, March 1st: Smith & «Porter, insurance on town hall "and contents, $51.00; R.
