MRS. MASON KING STREET COLBORNE Coal, Coke, Wood Sewer Pipe and Land Tile WHEN IN-NEED OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CALL F. P. STRONG Telephone 43 COLBORNE Autumn Maple Leaf Contest Exclusively and uniquely Canadian, but world 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 wi'der degree of interest not only among nature lovers but among 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. MdConnell of York County, New Brunswick, with a leaf which for its sheer beauty earned the sincere admiration of people from Coast to Coast. First prize last year went to Mrs. A. A. Adams, of Oak Bay Mills, Quebec, with a leaf showing such a finre of brilliant colorings as only a Canadina autumn can produce. The prize winning leaves chosen by artists from the Academy, together with suitably mounted selections from the thousands of entries, were exhibited in cities as far apart as Halifax, Saint 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 $100 to the person sending in the most beautiful lcaf. and in addition provides 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 prise of $10. British Columbia has twice supplied the winning leaf in this connection. In 1933 Bobby Hume of Revel-stoke surprised the judges with a leaf of 222 square iches, but this was exceeded in 1934 when Richard Cham-1-ers 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. Mjeire 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 larger 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. Bach 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 the Canadian Travel Bureau are not eligible for this competition, but members of their-families may submit entries.. All entries must be forwarded express prepaid or postpaid, to Canada's Msple Leaf Contest. P.O. Box 1500, Montreal, Quebec. The contest closes on November 1st, and entries express waybilled or postmarked later than that date will not be eligible. Tributes Paid Rev. A. H. Foster Memorial Service (Prom the Windsor Daily Star; Members of the congregation he had ministered to for six years, prominent citizens he had numbered among his friends and several of local and out-of-town clergy, paid tribute to the late Rev. A. H. Foster at a memorial service conducted Sandwich United Church. The Church was filled to capacity for the service, arranged in honour of Mr. Poster, its pastor, who died last Friday at Lindsay, Ont., followinj short illness. Rev. A. E. Doan of Essex, chairman of the Essex Presbytery, was charge of the service, assisted by Rev. A. W. Baker of Calvary United; Rev. C. R. DUrant of Ottawa United; Rev. J. E. Holmes, former Pastor of Sandwich United; Rev. Robert Stewart, Rev. H. P. Westgate of St.. John's Anglican Church; Rev. R. B. Cumming of Staffa, and Rev. M. E. Sexsmith of Burlington. Other ministers in attendance " Rev. G. G. Burton, of Giles Boulevard United; Rev. Dr. H. E. Mick of Central United; Rev. W. W. Prudham, Rev. M. C. MacKinnon of Chalmers United; Rev. W. B. Barnes of Trinity United; Rev. W. Li. Hiles of Amherstb'urg; Rev. G. G. Mitchell of Riverside United, and Rev. C. D. Fraquharson of. Westminster United. Following an introduction by Mr. Doan. Mr. Westgate, prior to reading a. Scripture lesson, paid tribute tc late Mr. Foster by observing that he will be missed by his congregation and the community in general. Mr. Stewart led in prayer, after which a communication was read from, the Detroit Methodist Ministers' Association expressing its sympathy to Mrs. Foster. Speaking as chairman of the presbytery, Mr. Doan extended to Mrs. Foster the deep sympathy of every minister of the sector. Addressing the Sandwich United congregation he pledged himself to see that they are ministered to. One of the finest tributes paid Mr. Foster during the service was that of Mr. Holmes, who spoke on behalf of the. former Pastors of the church. "He was a faithful minister of the Word, a good organizer, an optimist, and one who was always helping others," remarked Mr. Holmes. Introduced as the minister who knew Mr. Foster better than any of the others, Mr. Sexsmith, recalled his earlier relationships with the late Pastor, pointing out that they both born and raised and also entered the Clergy in the Bay of Quint' Conference. "God used him as an instrument to bring many souls out of the darkness into the eternal light. He a man among men, a brother among brethren, a leader among leaders, and one who was in the work like JesuA Christ was in it, for the sake o£ humanity." eulogized' Mr. Sexmith. Tribute was paid Mr. Foster and sympathy expressed to Mrs. Foster by Mr. Baker, in behalf of the Ministers' Association of Windsor. "We have lost a splendid preacher, an excellent minister, a faithful Pastor and a true friend," he coirime; In the 35 years the Church has been organized, last night's was the first memorial service ever held in it, cording to C. E. Wadge, who spoke on behalf of the congregation. Mr. Wadge spoke highly of the work accomplished by Mr. Foster during the six years he was in charge of the Church, declaring that he would never be forgotten. The permanent obituary of Mr. Foster, copies of which will go tc church, the presbytery and the ference, was read by Mr. Gumming. Mr. Cumming also spoke for Mrs. Foster, expressing her appreciation for the service. Benediction was given by Mr. Durant. Ian Thompson sang two numbers to feature the musical program ranged by Frank W. Phelps, organist, and choir director of the Church. Bermuda Onions are Grown, in Canada (From Trenton Sun) Bermude, apparently is not the only place where the large, juicy Bermuda onion is grown. On Monday of this week Mr. and Mrs. George Vardy of R.R. 1, Hilton (near Wooler) brr tight to the Sun office four specimens of the Bermuda onion, the size and quality of which will beat anything we've seen that ever came from the West Indies, which were grown in their garden this summer. The four onions together weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, an average of over two pounds apiece. The circumference of the widest one is 17x15 niches,, and the diameter nearly 6 inches. Mr. Vardy dug up eight crates of these oniens, all of uniform size. He also grows on his farm every season, quantities of sugar cane as fodder for cattle, which proves conclusively that the soil of Canada is quite as fertile and productive as any land in the Planting Peonies Peonies are now being planted at the Central Experimental Farm, sunny spot is chosen where the soil was dug deeply several months ago and well-rotten manure was put in bottom of the trench. Just before, planting time some bonemeal is mixed with the soil--a handful for each root. The tubers are so placed that there is two inches of soil above the cr< for if they are planted too deeply the flowers may not bloom. It is advisable to mulch the plants for the first winter to prevent alternate freezing and thawing. In the late autumn, the leaves should be cut off and burned so that if any disease spores are present they wll be destroyed and not left on the ground over winter. Barley production in Ontario this year will amount to 17,000,000 bushels, an increase of 2,309,000 over 1934. Production of barley in Ontario during the last ten years has averaged 15,945,000 bushels. Too rapid maturity was a factor tending to lower the standard of grains in Eastern Ontario. Something like shipping coals to Nova Scotia; South Africa imported 475,000 cwt. of wheat from Canada in 1934. Canada was the only source of supply, the South Africa deficiency of wheat arising out of a shortage of production. They ran down the buffalo and as a result it is now extinct. Maybe the same thing will happen to the pedestrian.
