fiolbor THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 18th, 1935 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U.S.A. COLBORNE H. S. NOTES The staff and students of the school are very grateful to the local Board •of Education for a welcome addition of several volumes to the school library. This is the first addition in some years, and as the hooks are of high literary calibre they are in constant demand. Among the books received were two of Richard Haliburton's Interesting travelogues, "New Worlds to Conquer," and "The Flying Carpet." Also included in the list were "Mutiny on the Bounty," and "Seven Years in the Malay Jungle," both books of the month. We are glad to see that pupils, notably Margaret deline Kernaghan and Willie Robinson, who have been absent owing to sickness, are now in regular attendance. Among those stifl on the sick iist are Elva Denny, Gertrude Bellamy, Maridn Olmstead and Alex Grant. Outdoor physical training along with softball have been temporarily curtailed owing to the vagaries of our spring weather. However, after the present cold snap" passes on, spring activities will again be resumed. Douglas Deviney, who was well to the front in last year's drive on the local starling menace, says that the "little feathered friends" are fewer and more elusive than ever. Perhaps Douglas in adding so many feathered scalps to his belt in last season's campaign, "killed the goose that layed the •golden egg."

Prayer of Thanksgiving The following is the Prayer of Thanksgiving to be used throughout the Empire on the ocacsion of the King's Silver Jubilee: It is very meet, right and our bounden duty that we should give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God, for that Thou was pleased as on this day to set Thy servant our Sovereign Lord King George upon the Throne of this Realm and hast profited him in days of sickness and of health throughout his reign of five and twenty years. For the example of unceasing service set by him and our gracious Queen Mary; for strength and steadfastness bescowed on him and for the love and loyalty borne to him by a great family of peoples and in all parts of the world, we laud and magnify Thy glorious We bless Thee for increase in the knowledge of Thy marvellous Works, in care for those who suffer from sickness or the lack of work, in desire that all men everywhere may live in peace and enjoy the fruits of their labour. For these and all Thy mercies vouchsafed to us, O Father Almighty, we yield Thee unfeigned thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with Thee in the Unity of the Holy Spirit be all the honour and glory now and forevermore. EASTER LILIES Again the Easter Lilies Radiant, pure and white, Tell the old, glad story, Christ hath conquered Death's dark night. Lily bells, your dewy fragrance Exudes at eventide: Perhaph thy sweetness fell upon tie stillness The night our Saviour died. Loveily Flowers, did thy presence cheer Him? That lonely night within Gethsemane Mayhaps when by earth friends •• was betrayed, forsaken, | He drew new strength from thee. Perhaps thy nearness stilled Mary's lonely weeping, As n ournlng for her Lord Her stricken heart sought for consolation Which earth Could not afford. Lilies fair, tell your wondrous stoiy To a weary world to-day, Of the conquered cross, His triumphant glory, Bids His Message of Peace ihold --Nora Silke. SCRAPS OF PAPER (St. Catharines Standard) You cannot pick up a responsible newspaper publisher anywhere in the Engl h speaking world without fiind-editorial of some sort declaiming against the German policy of regarding treaties as "mere scraps of paper." This breakdown in solemn international obligations, It is gravely feared, may ultimately lead to another dance of death in Europe and chaos complete. But how can we in Ontario hold our heads up and decry -Germany when there has just been an example of solemn contracts being treated scraps of paper. We are told that the value of the power company bonds has declined $40,000,000 since Mr. Roebuck launched his attacks sands of the latter, put their savings into these projects in perfectly good faith and trust. To Probe Affairs Canadian Performing Rights Society The Canadian Performing Rights Society Limited, incorporated under the Companies Act of 1931 with head office in Montreal, claims exclusive rights in Canada to the use of more than 2,000,000 works of literature, stage and music. They attempted to collect a license fee from every hall or place of entertainment in Canada where any of the popular songs or pieces of literature are produced, also from every hotel or other public place where a radio is publicly operated. The license fee asked for Colborne town hall was $10.00, but recently the society has attempted to double its rates. The result has been a protest from all over the country and the Government has decided to take, action. Judge James Parker, of Toronto, Senior Judge of York County, is to be sworn in as a Commissioner to in-vestigate the affairs of the Canadian Performing Rights Society Limited. He will have power to call witnesses, order the producing of all books and records of the Society and such other action as may be necessary for a •complete investigation. Judge Parker has ^conducted a number of other investigations with marked success. He was a former popular Marmora cit- Separate Schools lablihed in Ontario. In 1863 the Separate Schools Act «as passed by the Union Legislature of Upper and Lower Canada, as Ontario and Quebec were then called. The Act of 1863 was accepted as part of the Confederation settlement of 1867. Since Confederation, Ontario and Quebec have had separate Pro- cial I. iislat The amount of branded beef sold in Canada daring the month of February, 1935, was 3,274,855 pounds.

COLD STORAGE AID OFFERED BY GOVERNMENT In his budget address in the Ontario Legislature Premier Hep burn said in view of the difficulties of fanners and fruit growers the government will introduce a empowering the administration loan 50 per cent of the cost of ( structing a modern co-operative cold storage plant not to cost more than The amount will be secured by a first mortgage on the building, the payments to be amtorized over a 20-year period at four per cent, provision will be made granting exemption from municipal taxes on the buildings themselves. Clean-up Time Spring may not be here yet, but it is not too early to think of gathering up the eld rubbish that has accumulated during the winter months and taking it to the dump. The winter season is a handy one for hiding a lot of things, but here is one place where the law of average prevails. It looks different in the spring when the snow goes away*. Pick up the refuse, gather up the bottles and the old tins, and get that ash pile removed is good advice. The town will look better and you'll feel better, too, in the satisfaction of a work well done. No Epidemcs Here The past winter gained an unenviable reputation for sickness in town and country. Few households escaped some form of illness, colds being the most prevalent perhaps. With the change of seasons the number afflicted has gradually diminished and most of the victoms are now able to be out and around. The severe epidemic of measles and wheoping cough which was so severe in Toronto during the winter fortunately did not reach large proportions in this district. Harness and Life "He died in harness, poor chap," "Yes, and. by the way, did you ever notice how much like a harness life is? "There are traces of care; lines of trouble; bits of good fortune, and breaches of faith. Also tongues must te biidled, passions curbed and everybody has to tug to pull through." Oniy 10,953,159 bushels of foreig wheat entered France in 1934. Of tha amount Canada supplied 9,606,530 bus Easter Day Movable Feast With Lent well under way an balmy weather pointing the way to spring, Easter looms on the horizon as the next important day of the year; the day of smart hats and Easter eggs. It is a movable feast, which falls on the first Sunday after first full moon following March 21st, the spring equinox. Thus, it cann&t fall before March 22nd or after Apnl 25th. Easter, 193&, therefore, is distinctly a "late" Easter. There was 'ja,' full moon on March 20th, which mie-, es the prescribed date by one day. The next Wil^moon occurrs on April 18th, which is *Maunday Thursday, with Easter Sunday hard on it-f heels. Easter has not fallen on Apjffl" 21st. as it does this year, since 1889.; It will do so again in, 1946, 1957, and 2019.
