National Thanksgiving and Armistice - Day, November 11. WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF MY COUSIN GORDON HOOD . WHO PAID THE SUPREME SACRIFICE AUG. 27, 1918. - Fading flowers and falling leaves bring to us November, the month tinged with sorrow and passionate longing for the loved ones, who sleep in Flanders Fields, or in the silent cities of the "dead, throughout the length and breadth of the, Allied nations, 'yea, even some on alien soil, and we exclaim with a writer of old, "Oh for the touch of thé vanished hand, or the sound of the voice Coming back to the present, we think sadly of the many bright young lives 'Who languish in our hospitals, racked day and night with painand diseases, others to whom life is but a night- mare, handicapped as they are in the rush and turmoil of the busy work day world, by shattered nerves and weakened bodies, forced to lives of inactivity because of physical disability to stand the strain, or sadder still our thoughts linger on the loved ones, whose names are kept tight locked in the inner recess of our heart,, because, though living they are dead, shut away from the glorious sunshine and companionship of friends, all victims of the Great War, forced to suffer because a nation forgot God, and 'one man in his greed arrogance and love of power, sought by the mechanism of force to overthrow right and become himself the ruler of the world. \ Yet, as the gloom of the November day is brightened by the bursting forth of the sun, from behind the dark clouds, and the zepher breezes of the Indian Summer comes to us"Armistice Day" that bright and glorious _morning November 11th, 1918, when after months and years of anxious waiting and watching, days of hopes defeatéd and faith well nigh shattered, we woke to the pealing of bells and blowing of whistles, heralding the glad tidings of "Peace on. Earth"--War had ceased. Since then eight long years have gone when the process of rehabilitation for the soldier, was a bigger trial to many tan the days. of warfare, many of these had allowed themselves to drift into mere machines, governed and ruled by army discipline. They had gone to the Front boys, yet returned men; but men who had lost the best years of training, boys. who if they had re- mained at home, would have fitted themselves for some special calling. The war changed this, and they returned home having forgotten much of school booklore, and daily routine of college or training; school was not to be endured, so they drifted, others weakened health told its own sad tale of what life would be, just one continued fight for the bare necessities of life, and of these we would call upon our Armistice Day of 1926 as we gather round the varous cenotaphs, of cemeteries to honour the Dead, let us not forget to breathe a prayer for the i boys who went forth bravely and courageously, yet came back, and are to-day fighting a brave battle to keep the home-fires burning. Let us | remember that the returned soldier fought his battle as nobly as did the dead, and to him also belongs the glory and honour of the peace treaty. He too, paid the supreme sacrifice of health and . Armistice Day also has a deeper and higher meaning than just a day of rejoicing over a conquered foe, or self-satisfied Holier than Thou; We won the War Attitude. The conquest of 1918 was more than a cessation of hostilities, | nation against nation. -It was the re-establishment of the prin- ciples of justice, freedom and righteousness, the bringing in of a new era, when men should brothers be, the fulfillment of the Divifie Law, "Right is stronger than might", and to-day as we reverently bow our heads in silent prayer and thanksgiving may we say with Kipling of old, "Lord God of Hosts be with us yet; lest we forget; lest we forget." --N. HELEN LUCAS. THE TRIP EAST Four officials of the Ontario School Trustees' and Ratepayers' Asso- ciation made a tour of Eastern Ontario. The following are those who took the trip--Mr. W. M. Morris, Secretary-Treasurer, Toronto; Mr. D. B, Me- Pherson, President, Port Stanley; Samuel Farmer Vice President, Port Peryy; Mr. G. R. McWhirten, President of the Rural Section, Colebeck. The description of this trip of 850 miles is as/follows: A good preface for any motor trip is the story that is told of the some- what uneducated traveller who had journeyed through the United States for a considerable distance. Upon his return home he was asked what he thought of the roads over there. His reply will be appreciated by every motorist: i "Them roads that's named after Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jef- that Frenchman DeTour ain't no good at all." We agree with him; but more so when it has been raining as it was on Monday when we started out. The Bowmanville School A 'year ago when our party went over some of the same ground we visited the Bowmanville school for unadjusted boys, then barely started, now the buildings are in good shape, and there are some fifty-five boys there. These are not bad boys, but boys who for some reason or other did not "fit their surroundings. Sometimes the parents have been poor or un- sympathetic and the needs of the boys have not been met. He may have been underfed, or abused, and he did not develop as he should. Occasion- ally there has been some mental twist in his make-up that led him astray. He. may have been subnormal, or he may be a genius in the making. Premier Ferguson has taken a kindly and practical interest in such boys and is largely responsible for the construction of this school at Bow- manville, The purpose of the school is to study the individuality of the boy and so train him that he will become a useful and honourable citizen. There is a difficult period in the life of most boys and some need special treatment to tide them over until they reach normal self-control and self- development. = * ' Seay ~The method adopted at the Bowmanville School is vocational in its tendency with very wide lattitude as to individual treatment. The boys are to be taught wood-working, metal working, motor: poeshasiegs and general agricultural pursuits and they will be studied as to thei - bility. All their academic subjects will be related to their work; but the will have the added advantage of wide reading that they can enjoy and that will give them a taste for good reading. Ee and it is hoped that eventually this school and similar schools will do away with any police court proceedings for boysSas such proceedings are often | much more harmful than helpful to the boy. Ea Y The school has beerr happy 'in. the selection of teachers. Mr. G. H. 'Dickinson, B.A., is the - principal and has a sympathetic attitude which augers well for the future of the boys. He know the problem, the material, His Mr. E. P. Bradt, teacher of agriculture (practical); Mr. Doug- las Hyslop engineer; and Mr, Cairns, teacher of vocational training. All of them mer of the same type as the principal, We had dinner at the school; a delightfully cooked meal; and we were served by a couple of the boys who were at bit proud of the job. THE BUSINESS OF AGRICULTURE ARMING is more than an oc- cupation; it-is a highly com- mercialized business which re- quires careful planning and thought- ful execution. Bountiful production is necessary but much effort is wasted unless the business of disposing of the "year's. output is properly man- aged. In conducting the business of 'the farm the Standard aBnk can play a prominent and useful part. Con- sult the manager and learn how true co-operation between banking and agriculture builds a more prosperous community. STANDARD BANK PORT PERRY BRANCH--H. G. Hutcheson, Managyr Branches also at Blackstock, Little Britain, Neatloton Station, Sunderland REDD ID ED EDD DD DD DD SCUCOG and its ENVIRONS By Rev. F. G. Weir As far as we know the first Missionaries to eome into this neighborhood were Elder Scott and Elder Marsh who came here about the time that the first white settler came, and the first building erected for public worship was the Indian basswood chapel that stood on the Scugog shore somewhere on the ground where Port Perry:stands. Concerning later churches in the township of Reach, Rev. R. Monteath in his book says: "Our readers will scarcely expect to be told that the first churches raised ih Reach were on the line of the Brock road; we refer to the Presbyterian church and the Primitive Methodist church, the former on the 12th and the latter on: the front of the 11th con- cession, both erected in the year 1848. We are quite aware of another place which was raised four years before, namely that which is used by the Baptists on the front of the 2nd concession; but that was originally intended for a schoolhouse and was so used for some time." The first church in Prince Albert was the Wesleyan Metho- dist church which was begun about 1850. Smith in his work, "Canada, Past, Present and Future" speaking of Prince Albert says: "There is no church at present, but one is now building by the Methodists." This church was dedicated on the 8th of Feb- ruary, 1952. The services were conducted, in the morning, by Rev. Enoch Wood, president of the conference, and in the evening by Wellington Jeffers, of the Yonge Street Circuit. Mr. A. Hurd writing to the Editor of the "Guardian" about that time says: "In the days of our short acquaintance our obscurity would just- ify silence, but not so now. The name we bear as well as cir- cumstances connected with the dedication call for a few remarks. In the course of the few short years that have elapsed since you-- The Editor, Rev. Mr. Spencer--were with us, the wilderness has given place to richly cyltivated fields; the howling of wolf is no more heard, the voice<of civilization has frightened him away. Villages are springing up on every hand, some of them beginning to wear the appearance of small towns, our own among the num- ber." In connection to the reference to the howling wolf the Editor added this note: "and we hope the mosquitoes have ceased t obuzz and bite, for we shall not readily forget the whole night's Sampaign with them the first time we spent in that neighbor- In 1856 the Prince Albert circuit included seven appoint- ments; there were two churches and arrangements were being made for two more, on at Uxbridge, and one at Epsom. The following branches are names in the report of missionary col- lections: Prince Albert, Port Perry, Borelia, Utica, Epsom and Wright, Uxbridge, Scott,' 2nd concession of Reach and the 14th concession. In 1864 Prince Albert reports that at the quarterly meeting it was decided not to ask for any missionary grant ex- cept for the Scugog work. Scugog had recently been added to the circuit. The minister in his annual report says: "We have eight regular appointments and four occasional." It is interest- ing, in the light of present day conditions to read "our people wish the townships of Carden and Dalton annexed to the Cobo- conk mission." After the union of 1888 the circuit included Prince Albert, Prospect and Shirley. The Bible Christian church was to be disposed of or converted into a parsonage. On Thursday, June 24th, 1869 a circuit tea was held in the drill shed." The tea and entertainment that followed were in the interests of a new parsonage. Music was furnished by the Brass Band from Manilla. Rev. Geo. Webber, pastor at Cobourg de- livered a lecture in the town hall on "Cromwell and his time." The proceeds of the whole affair were $110. The Presbyterian Church in Prince Albert was built in 1857. Rev. R. Monteath was pastor from 1856 to 18656. During the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Jamieson, St. John's was built at Port Perry For awhile both churches were kept open, but later the church at Prince Albert was closed and has since been taken down. In, Port Perry the first religious body was the Millerites church. They held their services in a log building near where the water tank stands... About the time that they disbanded, the Catholic Apostolic church began. The first Methodist body was the Episcopal. They worshipped in a church near Borelia built in 1867. After moving from there they worshipped in two other buildings, one that is now 'used 8s a primary school--and we are told that if you look closely you may still see the original in scription showing through the paint--the other stood on a corner of Mr. Crozier's property on Queen street, The Wesleyan Methodists, who were strong in Prince ey | after that place began to decline tried to establish themselves in Afternoon Port Pea At frst they ers unsneeesatul, ce was held in a big room above the Walker House hotel sheds.
