Clothes Dry Cleaned -- Radio Bargains F. W. HAWKINS, Agent Autumn Maple Leaf Contest Exclusively and uniquely Canadian, but wotW wide in its pleasure giving possibilities, the third annual competition for the most beautiful autumn tinted maple leaf is announced by the Canadian Government through the Canadian Travel Bureau at Ottawa, in co-operation with the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Doubled prize money, and a distinct liberalization of the rules permitting visitors to Canada to enter maple leaves are the major innovations marking the 1935 competitions, and which-its supporters believe will go far towards arousing an even Wider degree of interest not only among nature lovers but amcng the general public as well. The competition for the most beautiful autumn tinted maple lea. was originated in 1933 and in that year the first prize was won by Mrs. C. McConnell of York County, Brunswick, with a leaf which for its sheei bear the admiration of people from Coast to Cos st. First prize last year went Mrs. A. A. Adams, of Oak Bay Mil Quebec, with a leaf showing such f?~" of brilliant colorings as only Canadina autumn can produce. The prize winning leaves chosen by artists from the Academy. togeth< suitably mounted se]ections from the rhcusards of entries, were exhibited in cities as far apart as Halifax, Paint John in the East, to Vancouver and Victoria in the West. Similar procedure will be followed this sea- The prize list for the 1935 competition provides for an award of $10D to the person sending in the most beautiful leaf, and in addition pro vides a second prize of $40 and a third prize of $20. The competition this year will continue the largest leaf phase and the person sending in the leaf with the largest area will be awarded a pr'ze of $30: and the second largest, a prke of" $10. British Columbia has twic° supplied the winning leaf in this connection. In 1933 Bobby Hume of Revel-^toke' surprised the judges with a leaf o° 222 square iches, but this was exceeded in 1934 when Richard Chambers of Vancouver won with a leaf of 226% square inches. .This year's competition is open to all Canadians, and to visitors to Canada, but the entries must be gathered and sent in from a Canadian point. Mjo-re than 10,000 persons sent in entries last year, and it is felt that the wider scope allowed this season will result in a far lar-er number sending in souvenirs of their and inspiring tramps through the autumn woods. Canadian hardwood ridges are without peer in beauty during the fall months. The rules are easy to follow. Each leaf must be mounted on a separate card with a gummed paper over the stalk only. They must be packed flat between two pieces of stiff cardboard accompanied by* a sheet of paper 5 x 7 inches on which must be written the name and address of the sender and the date and place of gathering. The name of the contestant must not be written on the card on which the leaf is mounted. No entry is to contain more than three leaves, though one person can forward as many entries as desired. Damaged or broken leaves will not be eligible; no entry will be returned and the judges will not enter into correspondence with any contestant. Color and shape will be the governing factors in determining the most beautiful leaf, and the decision of the judges will be. final. The decision with respect to the largest leaf, will of course, be guided solely by the surface area. Employees of the Canadian National Railways, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and Ihe Canadian Travel Bureau are not eligible for this competition, but members of their families may submit All entries must be forwarded express prepaid or postpaid, to Canada's Maple Leaf Contest. P.O. Box 1500. Montreal, Quebec. The contest closes on November 1st, and entries express wpybilled or postmarked later than that date will not be eligible. "Vox Nostrae Scholae" . week is Federal The 14th of r Election day. I wish to present a new election platform at this late date, but it does wish to emphasize the value of an education. The pre-election speeches and promises of this campaign have, perhaps, reached greater masses of the people than ever before. Discussions concerning tariffs, embargoes, foreign trade and collateral, reciprocity treaties, technical education, and monetary reform transmitted to the public via radio, newspapers and personal speeches often prove confusing to many a layman. Also, the pros and eons of these discussions are beyond the understanding of the majority of our first and second form students. But, when we stop and consider, would these self-same pupils be any more enlightened concerning these and future election issues if they were to discontinue their education at this date? Perhaps this aspect of education never occurred to you before, but each year sees our Hign School and Colleges throughout the Dominion adding more and more intelligent members to the electorate body. As the pupil is promoted from form to form he accumulates and assimilates more and more knowledge. His interests are not being merely confined to specific curriculum subjects, but he finds his interests gradually broadening. The germ of •education once firmly implanted is very hard to shed, and learning brings an insatiablbe desire for more learning. In his knowledge, acquired with some diligence and effort, he finds power -- the power of interpreting these aforementioned election issues. The dark cloak of ignorance, which In his earlier school days enveloped these intricate problems of government, is gradually pulled aside. His education has proved an Aladdin's Lamp, casting magic rays of intelligent understanding on most questions of the day. He is now an integral part of that vital essential to any democratic nation -- an intelligent electorate. A disastrous first innings, coupled with copious errors throughout the game, saw C.H.IS. go down to defeat before a team from Castleton Continuation School in a post-seasonal soft-ball affair at Castleton on Monday, Octobber 7th. After the aforementioned disastrous first innings in which Castletcn pushed home 6 runs, the game took on the aspect of a pitching duel between the two opposing south-paw hurlers. Cecil Burleigh and Sam Purdy. During the subsequent innings, Castleton added 7 more runs, to make a total of 13, and Colborne also countered feebly with 7 tallies to make the score stand at 13 to 7 at the end of the seventh and last innings. Colborne literally went down swinging. The opposing hurler held what should have been the OH. S. big guns practically helpless, and | f pitches that would. have ordinarily gone as balls found them waving the willow ineffectively. Too much baseball in their systems perhaps. But to forget alibis and to give credit where credit is due, Castleton fielded a superior team and gave proof of their superiority by romping home on the long end of a 13 to 7 score. C.H. S. can fully sympathize with the Chicago Cubs now. S. Purdy materially aided in his own victory when he slammed out a homer in the fifth with one on. If our memory serves us right, this was the first softball game that CHS. has engaged in for over a yejr. The semi-frigid weather helped turn a game which had the possibilities of a real struggle into a rather mediocre affair. The line-up: Colborne--Battery, C. Burleigh and D. Farrell, E. Cowie lb, F.

Here is a somewhat similar proSlem. An English couple were travelling in the Alps. At a dangerous spot the wife missed her footing and lost her life. When this was reported in the English newspapers, one man in Eng-laind who had never seen the woman and didn't know her name said "That's not an accident, that's murder." How did he know? Riverside Objects to Cow.

It was u!ko stipulated that the animal must be stabled at least'150 feet from, the house. Complaints had been made recently against town residents keeping cows and building haystacks around their immediate residences.

October 8th, 1935, passed a resolution asking or the resignation of George Greer, County Road Superintendent, at once. The resolution would pay his salary until Nov. 30th. The Ontario Department of Highways demanded his resignation, and threatened, the Council heard, withdrawal of the 50 per cent, highway subsidy. Mr. Greer's resignation was demanded by the Government following complaints, and charged he was not a qualified engineer. The Council had ivestigated the complaints in regard to the road administration and reported them groundless. Settling a three-year dispute in regard to Durham's claim from Northumberland in connection with bridge equalization, the Council passed a resolution providing in settlement a levy of $6,000 on Northumberland with accrued legal and committee costs to come out of the joint treasury. j REPAIRS WATCHES -- CLOCKS JEWELERY Also Glasses Adjusted All Work Guaranteed TERMS STRICTLY CASH W.
