"Nation Builders" "A Great New Car" "Formations," An Aeroplane Picture "Silence" Illustrated by Symphony Orchestra; also Comics, making a Two and a half hour Show Survey of Crops and Live Stock, June, 1973 In June of each year, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, in co-operation with the Provincial Departments of Agriculture, d'.fetributes cardboard schedules to farmers for the purpose of collecting statistics of acreages under crop and the numibers of live stock and poultry on farms. An inno-vaton of 1931 extended this survey to cover the breeding and marketing in-ten'ions with regard to lovestock. In all of the provinces, except Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia. Alberta and British Columbia, these schedules are distributed to the farmers through the rural school teachers. In those four provinces, the cards are mailed direct to the farmers. The acreages of field crops, in par-tcular, are the real formation of the scheme of agricultural production statistics. Only slightly less important in our national planning is the necessity of having correct knowledge of the numbers of live stock on farms The accuracy of the compilations In both these classes is largely dependent- upon- the-ofotainng- of uuibplulUW' cards from a fair sample of the total jmmlber of Canadian farms. The value of these surveys is enhanced by the prompt filling in and return of the schedule cards by the SPONSORED BY COLBORNE MEN'S CLUB W. J.

THE COLBORNE EXPRESS Farm and Home Week At O. A. C. June 21 to 25 Again the Ontaro Agricultural College is throwing open its doors for a special week of visits from the farm folks of the province. June 21-25, inclusive, are the days, and the number of visitors should be larger than ever, since the work of the College and the Experimental Farm grows extent and in value from year to Perhaps special interest will centre around the daily live stock parade. Never before has the College had such a fine array of breeding stock, and many farmers will be anxiou ' see the excellent offspring of such notable College sires as the Clydesdale stallion, "Craigie Realization' and the Shorthorn bull, "Millhills Ransom." The ninety acres of field crop experiment plots will include some interesting new things, and the magnificent grounds and gardens will be at their best, with hundreds of varieties of roses and other flowering shrubs and trees to be inspected and enjoyed. Besides these there will be many educational exhibits showing the work of various departments. Visitors will have an opportunity to ask questions of the men in charge of these exhibits and to learn what is being done about mineral deficiency; about improvement of soils and the use of | fertilizers; about troublesome pests such as insects and nematodes; about pullorum disease in poultry and the most efficient methods of feeding chick®; about off flavours in butter and the manufacture of blue cheese; and about many other important problems which the College is working on at the present time. Altogether it will be a great week for the farmers of Ontario and for the College. Last year more than 16,000 people visited the College during Farm and Home Week, and .more than 16.000 others at other times during the summer. Already quite a number of groups have been at the College this year and a large number of others are booked for dates other than Farm and Home Week. Thus does the College extend its services to the people of Ontario, and thus do the people take advantage of that service. It is too good an opportunity to be missed. School History of S. S. No. 20, Cramahe Ninety-three years ago, in the year 1844, the first school in S. S. No. 2(0, Cramahe Township, was built. It was a log school, twenty-six feet in length by twenty-four feet in width, and was built on the corner of the present school yard at what was then known as Spafford's Corn- The present secretary-trustee has account book of the first school. A few of the first pages are missing, but the records are complete from the year 1851 to 1896. The trustees of t)he school in 18511 were George Winn, Robert Scripture and John A. Si>afford (Mr. E. A. Rutherford's grandfather). Accounts were recorded in £ s. d. until the year 1858. Until the year 1857. it seems that the funds needed for the school section were raised partly by an as ment on the rateable property of the section, and partly by a Rate Bill on those who sent children to school In that year, however, it was decided to raise all the school expenses by an assessment on the general property of the section. It seems that for a number of years, the wood required by the school was supplied by those who sent children to school, and at least one teacher, Mark Manley, evidently built fires. In 1866, one year before the Confederation of the Provinces. Miss Sarah Clark, the holder of a second-class certificate, was hired for $192.00. virtue of authority vested in us the eighth clause of the twenty-enth section of the Upper Canada Consolidated Common School Act." In that year the school was kept open twelve months lacking ten days. 1871. a letter was received from the Inspector, Mr. Scarlett, ordering immediate steps to be taken for the building of a new school. This letter, along with other documents, is preserved in a tin box which is also in possession of the present secretary, Mr. E. A. Rutherford. In January of the next year, a special school meetng was held and "Moved by Finley McDonald, seconded by Hiram Scripture, That half an acre of land off the south-ner of Lot No. 29, in the 5th concession of Cramahe. be chosen as a site whereon to erect school buildings in conformity with the requirements of the New School Act, and that said site shall run eight rods west by ten rods north from the s< ■ner of said lot number 29.-- Carried." Steps were to be taken to secure legal title to the land which to be purchased from the Spafford family. On July 28th, 1873. another special meeting was held in order to empower the trustees to apply to the Township Council for authority to borrow " money necessary for the purchas site and erection of school build-t> <», p'xelimina.ries. the new frame school Was built in 1874 by Charles Labell. Mr. Geo. C. Walker was then secre-tkry and Miss Spafford. Mr. E. A. Rutherford's mother, was the first teacher in the new school. On May 12th. 1877, a meeting of the section was held for the purpose of selline the old log school. Since then there have been many changes--in teachers, trustees and in the community. The present secretary, however, has held office for over thirty years. The school has been well equipped, and Fifth Class equipment bought for teaching those who have taken the first two years of High School work at this school. One of the recent changes made in the school grounds was the fencing off of the morth-east comer for a school garden. This was done in 1936, when Miss Marion Nelson was teaching the school. The latest equipment of value tc be added to the school is the piano purchased in Decemlber. 1936. Our Flag was flying on May 12th 1937. in houour of the Coronation of their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The flag pole is to be painted, after which it will be placed in a permanent posiion in the school yard. If anyone can supply further information regarding the history of the school--foT example, who was the first teacher in the log school, th'e first trustees, who bought the old school, and any other items of interest, we shall be pleased to have you forward us the information.

With reference to hogs, no comparative figures for the 1936 period are at Returns recently completed show that Australia will have available for export iii the cussent year a record pack of canned fruits amounting to! aproximately L240.00O cases. The | total production in that country for] the season is estimated at about i 2,040,000 cases.

Operated as practically one big Public Ward, It makes possible medical treatment and hospital care to needy children from every corner of Ontario. During the twelve months just ended, 8,349 cot patients were served for a total of 139.747 patient days. Ovter 8,000 operations were performed. Over 600,000 meals were served. And the Out-Patient Department gave 84,414 Individual treatments. Every day dozens of doctors come to the Hospital to donate their time and talent in the operating rooms, the out-patient clinic and In bedside It is a notable fact that the Hospital for Sick Children has ont of the lowest ratios of expense per patient day among all similar hos-Ditals in North America, despite the fact that the care of children Involves so much extra servtes including, In many cases, pre-school training. And despite the fact that the many, many problem cases directed to this institution create extra costs over and above ordinary hospital requirements. Over 400 of the 420 beds in the Hospital are for those in very moderate cir r ~i~*nnres or thor? who or to their municipality, is fixed at $1.75. There are no extra charges. The use of serums, modern health appliarses and many other costly but vitally necessaiy items, cannot be provided for out of the fixed aUowances for needy patients. Nor do they provide the medicines, orthopaedic appliances, etc., supplied in thousands of eases. Despite the fact that kiddies require especially expensive hospital care, the government aUowances are the same as for those caring chiefly for adults. The cost of serving patients is therefore $1.00 per day more than the combined income from parents (or municipality), plus the government grant in spite of the low expense ratio and the free service of the doctors. So, each year, the Hospital for Sick Children appeals to you for a donation to help meet the deficit resulting from its service to the needy. This deficit cannot be eliminated: in fact, it must increase it the demand for service to more and more children is to be met. Everyone who understands the fact must want this great work to continue despite the fact that the more patients who are treated the greater the annual deficit becomes. Remember, the Hospital receives no support from the Toronto Federation for Community Service, because patients are accepted from aU parts of the province. Nevertheless, no Ontario child should be denied health if mere money makes the difference. Mail a donation to-day to the Appeal Secretary.
