The competition was opento the students in the lower Schools of the Province of Ontario. Two of the students of Port Perry High School were successful in the contest. Miss Grace Rose Avon the Second Prize, and Miss Irene Spence received "honourable mention." Miss Morwenna Harris is the art teacher at the High School, and is naturally gratified at the success of her students: We heartily congratulate the young ladies on their success. The value of art as an edacator is often underestimated. The ability to draw correctly is not merely a pleasing accomplishment, but has commercial value. More than that, art teaches the artist to see accurately. People say--*"1 can't draw." What they really mean is that their eyes are not trained to see accurately. It takes a little care to note the direction of lines, due proportions, and proper colorings; but the training is splendid. A well trained eye and hand is bet- ter even from a money point of view, than a mind filled with ill assorted facts. Half the trouble with young people who have to earn their own lving is that they lack this very accuracy of eye and hand. The mind may be trained to think, but very frequently the hand cannot execute because it is not trained. Won Military Cross We are very pleased to be able to report that Flight Lieut. Geo. How- sam has won the Military Cross for bravery. He.is now in Belgium, but he will be gragted leave of absence in England and- receive his decoration in a short time. « ECAR George was a student at Port Perry High School and will be remembered as the hero of the play put on by the Literary Society. He was a warrior in imagination then, but now he is at war in deadly earnest. 3 Gard of Thanks - Pte. William Stoutt, who is in the hospital in England, wishes to. thank the ladies of the W. P.

(d) This town suffered for many ears, socially, commercially, intel- lectially, and morally by virtue of its isolation from County impulses, = It was with a view of correcting this tendency that we established our an- nual Fair in Oshawa, and it also in- duced us to spend our money freely to try and build up a local market so as to attract the attention of tee country people. Now just as we appear to be mak- ing progress in this line some one suggests that we roll a rock in front of our chariot and assist these im- pulses by demanding absolute muni: cipal separation. In conclusion, I desire to say that the agitation for separation may have served some purpose as a kind of camouflage to extract a few reasonable concessions from the County Council, but there is little to be gained from pursuing this line of action any fur- ther as the average County Council 1s a little barder to fool than most peo- ple imagine. The County has nothing} to gain from separation, and the town has everything to lose. Personally, I hope the County Council will reject every proposal for arbitration or set- tlement by agreement, and force upon the town the responsibility of compel- ling the issue. A full and free dis- cussion of the whole issue, I feel certasn, will convince the Council "of cumstances, the only wise course to persue is to leave the matter of sepa- ration absolutely alone.
