"Today, in busi- 'ness," he said, "you have the center of power of our times, and men of power are inevitahly drawn to it." Now, some years later, many of us are out of business." Or our ships have gone off their course. Where did we go wrong in our calculations? Our chief error, I think, was this: in forming our judgments, we had confused size with strength; we had thought. that bigness in itself meant power. There is no denying the thrill of seeing your letters typed on the stationery of a nationally known corporation. There is a sort of exhilaration that comes from contemplating the very size of your organization, the number of employees, the total units of production, . Before you know it, you are thinking of it as "your company," however humble your job may be, : The sense of power.! That is what led us on. To be sure, at every step, there were superiors to be consulted; 0.K.'s to be obtained. But always we felt that one stage higher up--along 'with the next promotion--we should come out above the timber line, and find ourselves with power and authority. So we kept on plugging, following that gleam! : Now we know better. We know that the proprietor of a small-town weekly has more real power than the managing editor of any daily newspaper in a nation-wide chain, We know that the owner of a crgssroads garage has more true freedom and inde- pendence than the president of the largest motor company in the country. But it took us long hard years to learn, 80 much nonsense has been talked about the romance of g business that it is time for a quiet examination of realities.

Later, however, at the age of sixteen, he went to Scugog and for seventeen years he worked with Mr. James Jackson, (father of the late Geo. Jackson). He then started farm- ing for himself and for twenty-eight years he was a successful farmer on Scugog, thence he moved to Port Perry some seven years ago. Mr. Ploughman was converted to God at the age of 17 and became an active and zealous member of the Methodist Church serving in an official capacity both in the church at Scugog and later in Port Perry. He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, two sons, Elmer on the home | farm, Stanley of Port Perry, Miss Myrtle at home and Mrs. O. Hood, of Port Perry, who was adopted as a daughter when she was eight years of age; also four sisters, Mrs. S. Aber- nethy, Campbellford; Mrs. N. Jackson, Winnipeg; Mrs. S. E. Hann, Oshawa; Mrs, C. Lounsborough, Windsor; and one brother, Edward, of Port Perry. Mr. Ploughman was an earnest and faithful church man. He loved the church, he cherished its ideals and honoured its standards. He was a man of deep convictions and used his opportunities for the upbuilding of God's Kingdom. During his illness which he bore with fortitude and resignation, he was much gratified by the kindly and sym- pathetic comfort expressed by friends and neighbours; and he wished that it might be known that he did appreciate all the kindnesses ahd sympathy thus proffered him, In the hope of a sure and certain Ressurrection, we part with a loved one, a neighbour and a friend. The following telegram was re- ceived from Mr. Harry Clark, engaged in Evangelistic work in Indianapolis. Mr. Clark is a young man who spent sometime in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ploughman, Se "Please. 'accept for yourself and family my' déepest sympathy. There ever met.

Mrs. Roy Scott, convener of the missionary topic, presided over a well prepared program, which was carried out as follows: A hymn, prayer by the Superintendent, instrumental by Miss Marion Eagleson, reading by Mrs. D. Payne, Scripture lesson read by Miss E. Graham, chorus by five little girls, reading by Miss N. Urquhart, vocal solo by Mr. Joe Grantham, reading by Helen Short. Sunday School then was closed in the usual way. In the evening, the pastor, Rev. Mr, Green, delivered a very inspiring and thoughtful sermon, basing his re- marks on "The Victory over Tempta- tion" Which was listened to by a good congregation. The music by the choir was also enjoyed. A large number of the young men of our community were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Wal- lace, on Monday evening. The oc- casion being a get-together of boys prior to the departure of one of their number, Dave Crossett, for his home in Ireland. A bounteous supper, featuring oysters, was served, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed all the good things. Following the supper, the boys gathered round the piano, and with Miss Ila Moon as pianiste, en- joyed a couple of hours of real fel- lowship. Old time songs being much in vogue. Dave will carry with him fond memories of a circle of friend- ship formed during his sojourn in Canada. The boys all spoke highly of the generosity of their hosts. Rev, Mr, Green was present and spoke. The weekly prayer-service will be held on Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. Moss Mark, when all those interested will avail themselves of the spiritual blessing which is so much needed in these trying times. Miss Gladys Sharp, who has spent the past couple of years in Toronto, is the guest of her sister Mrs. George Clarke. St. Patrick's Day was very fittingly observed in our burg, when the Quad- rata Girls' Club held a social evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watson. The house was decorated for the gccasion, and everything was carried out in a most fitting manner. Mrs, H. Eagleson won the prize in the shamrock' ~ contest. The program throughout was much enjoyed. Lunch was served at the close.

The teacher, Mr. Edwin Mitchell, is to be congratulated on the interest taken in the children's welfare... The proceeds of the evening will be used to buy equipment for out- doar sports. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" says Edwin. We quote the following from the Toronto Star of March 23rd. "Can it be possible? Wonder of wonders! A junior play-down series goes through without a squawk on the referee or a free-for-all. Unless some howl develops today, which seems hardly likely. Harry McKnight of New Liskeard and Charles Talbot, of Preston, who handled the Cubs-Reds series must be credited with being a smart pair of referees, for outside of a bit of back talk, Red Porter of the Cubs handed Talbot when he fenced him in the third period last night, there was no grabbing by either official or players throughout the series. Harry McKnight mentioned above is a nephew of Mrs. L. Scott, and cousin of the Seagrave goalie. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cephas Butt, will regret to hear of their serious illness at the home of their son, Mr. Edgar Butt. They are doing as well as can be expected. A speedy recovery is hoped for so they will be able to return to their home in Port Perry. Mr. W. Holdershaw, who has been seriously ill for the past three weeks, is still in a critical condition. Doctors operated on the injured knee during the past week, which is hoped will prolong the young man's life. Mrs. Jas. Shunk entertained a few friends recently when the afternoon . was spent in quilting, which was en- joyed, followed by a lovely supper. We wondér why more of these social quiltings are not held these days. Mr. Howard Butt and son Bruce, of Toronto, visited his parents Mr. and Mrs. Cephas Butt, on Sunday after- noon. Miss Ruth Stone spent the week end with friends at Manchester. The regular meeting of the Y. P. A. was held on Tuesday, March 28th, with the president in the chair. The meeting opened with a hymn and the Lord's Prayer. The devotional ex- ercises were taken by Rev. Mr. Green. The topic was taken by Mr. Harold Jackson, on "What is Communism ?" We were then favoured with a vocal duet by the Misses Norma and Fern Moon. The meeting then closed with a hymn and the League benediction.
