MANY ATTEND FUNERAL OF HON. JOHN MARTIN Former Minister of Agriculture Laid to Rest Saturday Port Dover, May 18th--With all walks of life represented among the hundreds of citizens who mourned his passing, the remains of John S. Mar- tin, former Minister of Agriculture in the Ferguson Government and Past Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Ontario, were bourne to the grave at Port Dover on Saturday in one of the biggest funerals ever to have taken place in the district. From all parts of Ontario and the other provinces of Canada came citizens who had known the late min- ister. Floral tributes from associa- tions, social bodies, churches, political organizations, women's societies, and from numerous individuals were banked high in the church which was crowded to capacity. The brief ser- vice 'at the home at 1.30 brought o- gether a gathering of citizens repre- sentatives of industry, agriculture, politics, education and almost every other walk of life. i Premier George 8. Henry, Attor- | a a LT SO IMT - I Sc PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 21st, 1931 ; '$1.50 per year in advance ney-General W. H. Price, Col. the Hon. T. L. Kennedy, were three of the hon- orary pallbearers. Others were Dr. George Christie of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, Guelph; W. Bert Roadhouse, chairman of the Agri- cultural Development Board; W. C. Noxon, Ontario Agent General in Lon- don; R. B. Dargavel, John A. Row- land, W. 8. Herrington and W. M. Logan. Other members of the Ontario Cabihet attending the funeral were Hon. W. G. Martin, Hon. Dr. J. D. Monteith, Hon Dr. J. M. Robb, Hon. William Finlayson, and Hon. Leopold Macaulay, Hon. Donald Sutherland, Minister of National Defence, repre- sented the Dominion Government. Personal friends of the deceased were active pall bearers. They were: W. H. Barratt, J. R. Waddle, James Vokes, W. J. Thompson, S. M. Bond, D. W. Barwell and Dr. J. W. Stevens, of Woodstock. Service rendered by Mr. Martin to his province and his idealism and high character were eulogized by officials of the Masonic Order and other in the service at the graveside. Better English "Many Men of many minds, Many fish of many kinds." Are any of these mistakes ours? Du--short u, for day--as Sundu. The vowels a, e, i, o, u, if long are pro- nounced as we name them: if short they are not. That is the best I can do towards explaining long and short sounds. It is like the man (was it a Mark Twain character?) who said he could sing two tunes: one was Home, Sweet Home, and the other wasn't. By the way tune has long u and is not 'chune' nor 'toon'; due and dew are du--Ilong u--not 'do' or 'jew.' Blue, tube, tumor and so many others have long u. Blue is the easiest word in the world to pronounce 'bloo' to rhyme with flew. I can testify to the truth of that statement. Then we hear 'visterday', 'nixt' week; 'chosday' or 'Toosday' for Tuesday which accord- ing to my "Concise English" (and dictionaries, like some people, know everything, even though among them there is a great diversity of opinions) should be Tuzda,--a and u long; 'Wed-| , ensday' or 'Wed-nes-day' for Wen- zda; 'Janooary' for January; Feb- ooary, February or 'Febery' for Feb- ruary; 'Match' or 'Mash' for March; April with long i and last syllable accented; July with accent on first syllable. Then, too, we have Sep- tembah, Octobah, etc.; but that is a matter of accent not error, and who would urge a change of accent, unless a better one were promised? and acquired accents are not always ac- curate, as one writer puts it--"There is a speaker over the radio who says 'cream the buttah and sugah together- r-r- t' misses on some and then hits on all four again." One should be sure. A friend on arriving in Chicago, to work, was urged by an American-- not to lose her pretty Canadian ac- cent. What is a Canadian ac- cent? I am afraid it is much the same as Ed's might be. Ed is in "short circuits" by Stephen Leacock, who describes him thus--"In points of race Ed is half English, half French Canadian, half Algonquin, and partly from the United States. I have heard him say, too, that his mother came from Germany. In fact, Ed, is the meeting pot." --"Colloquial." m-- 605 VOTED FOR THE BY-LAW WHILE ONLY 55 OPPOSED THE MEASURE Ontario Shore Gas Co. May Sell Gas inWhitby for Period of 35 years. Total Vote of 705 Was Light--Laying of Gas Mains Expected to Provide ..Work for Unemployed. The electors of Whitby an Saturday, by a majority of 605, voted to give a thirty-five year franchise to the Ontario Shore Gas Co. tosell gas in the town. The full vote was 655 for the by-law and only 50 against, repre- senting 13 votes for the by-law for every one against it. In this respect Whitby surpassed of Bowmanville which made it 12 to 1. A total of 705 votes were polled exclusive of a few spoiled ballots. The total evailible vote was 1,764 but Whitby, Jjke many .other towns has never rolled up a very large vote when franchise abreements or money by-laws were benig voted on. As a matter of fact, however, the number of votes polled on Saturday was greater than anticipated, and when theresult was known shortly after seven o'colck, the members of she Council and Gas Company oftals o expressed themselves as greatly satis- fied. 4 A feature of the vote was the very small number against the by-law. Sentiment in favor of it gathered momentum following the puplic meet- ing Tuesday night and the wide pub- licity which followed. In all five wards the majority in favor of the franchise was substantial. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Reader Married Forty Years On Wednesday evening May 13th, about thirty relatives and friends, gathered at the home of Mr, an Mrs. W. T. Reader, to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of their wedding day, and to offer their congratulations and best wishes for many more years of happy married life. As a slight token of esteem they were presented with an electric floor lamp, and the following address, which was read by Mrs. Robert Reader To Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Reader, Port Perry, Ont. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Reader; Brother, Sister, Uncle, Aunt and Friends;on this the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of your wedding day, we have come together to celebrate with you this "Day of Days". What memories come back to us.

Civic and Educational Value of Music Study Its practical-value in training for everday life The cultural and elevating value of music is readily acknowledged by everyone, and is conceded by all. Few, however, realize the tremend- ous training qualities that the study of music, particularly the study of a musical instrument, has in developing the mind for the problems of everday life, and as that is the great essential in training of the young it should be given a prominent place in the educa- tion of every boy and girl. Develops Mental Faculties Leading educationists now accord to music equal, if not greater, education- al value than is possessed by the majority of the subjects on our regu- lar school curricula. For instance, the value of music study in developing: . Concentration--There is no study that requires as close concentration, and this power, developed through the interest of the child in study and performance, is almost subconsciously attained without much effort on the part of the pupil. Memory--The power of the mind to retain is not like a storehouse that will hold so much and no more, but it is a faculty---the more it is used, the greater is its capacity. This faculty is also largely one of association, and in the study of music it is rapidly and pleasantly developed. Perseverance--In this phase of mental training, music study is almost paramount. Diligent, persistent and continuous 'study and practice are requisite, but every moment's practice and study brings almost instant re- ward in greater facility, and the child sees immediate returns for his efforts. Self-Reliance--The ability to rapidly improve his knowledge and work tends strongly to foster self-reliance and: confidence in himself. That is greatly augmented in his opportunities to. demonstrate or "show off" Ris ability to others, and these opportuni- ties are constantly offered to him by proud parents or the request of friends... Greater Power of Special Mental cupied the pulpit in the United Church last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Dyer was in Linglewood. Dr. Wilmot Cragg, Toronto visitad his parents on Sunday. Rev, Mr. and Mrs. Boomer called on Miss A. Harmon, one day last week. ' Mr. Alex Leask has moved into hi= new home. Mrs. McArthur returned to her home last week, after spending the winter in Stratford and Toronto. Mr. Mrs. John Bagshaw of Vroomanton, visited at Mr. Albert Phoenix's on Sunday. Mrs. H.

The Crops in this part of the world ve looling fine and the frit trees are looking their best. The Merry Minstrel there was a good evowd and a good program. Mr.J. G.

Somerville spent' were a succes visited her aunt Miss Grace Mark, on Sunday in Midland visiting friends. | Sunday. i Mise Della Lee is visiting her mo, sor of a new Essex Car. Mr. Wm. Brash is the happy posses- Faculties--Théeé necessary clearness and accuracy in seeing the exact posi- tion of notes, their values, sequences and relationships lead to the develop- ment of clear observation and reten- tion of what is seen; the ear must ever be alert to catch the exact tone and the hand must be ever ready to carry out the me-sages from the brain and transmit them though the insru- ment. Mental Discipline--The co-ordination of the eye, ear and hand the concen- tration necessary, the demand upon the memory, the call for perseverance all combine to offer the best possible training in mental discipline, and it is secured in a most pleasant manner. Self-Control--Self-Control is thus fostered and developed almost with- out conscious effort on the part of the pupil. > If chidren should give up their music entirely after three or four years' study, this study would be of inestimable value to them in any work they might afterwards engage in. for the above faculties are these that are most in demand in any vocation. But music runs all through life, whilst of many other subjects studied in school the effect alone remains. Tt will also give unlimited pleasure and inspira. tion as long as life lasts. Even if they do not play much themselves they will understand and appreciate music more, and they will get infinitely more from it as a result of their study.
