Members of the Uxbridge, Port Perry, and -Brooklin Junior Farmers took part in.the tour. 3 The first stop was at Canada Packers, where guides conducted the groups through the beef, sheep and swine killing plants, and later through the cold storage plants. The group saw the hog carcasses being graded by a government grader, and another interesting HE was watching the removal of "the . Petrutory gland from the pig's head, the secretions from this gland being used for the pro- duction of A.C.T.H. and cortisone used in arthritis and cancer ther - apy. Fr At noon the group was tendered a delicious luncheon, courtesy of Canada Packers, and Mr. Jim Me- Neil, organizer of the tour through the Packers expressed a few words of welcome to the group and in- - vited them back again as a group | or individually to see more of the work carried out by them. Norm Lyons, President of the Uxbridge Junior Farmers, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the group for the privilege of visiting the plant. : Following the noon luncheon, a "tour was made of the Unjon Stock- yards and the Livestock Exchange. Since it was late in the week, there were very few offerings on the market, but the tour was especial-, ly interesting to those who had never visited the Stockyards be- fore. : The group then moved to the Massey-Harris Company at King St. and Strachan Ave. where they were shown through 'the large combine plant by the chief guide, Mr. Martin. - Here the process of combine production from. sheet metal to the finished combine be- ing loaded on freight cars was seen by everyone, and interesting features were pointed out by the guide in charge. Norm Lyons again expressed his thanks on be: half of the group for the oppor-| tunity of visiting the Massey- Harris Company, The last stop was at Toronto Elevators Ltd. at Queens Quay, and here the group saw the grind- ing, mixing, weighing, and bagg- ing of various feeds made and sold by Master Feeds. The production of how linseed oil meal, the lab- oratory where feeds are tested to keep up to government standards, and automatic weighing and bagg- ing machines were among the points of interest seen by those present. A Junch provided by Toronto Elevators before leaving for home was enjoyed by all, and everyone felt that the day had been very interesting and educational. Mur- ray Holtby, President of the Port Perry: Junior Farmers, speaking on behalf of the group, thanked those in charge of the tour through the plant. The tour was-sponsored by the Uxbridge Junior Farmers and was arranged and supervised by the Ont. Department of Agriculture, Uxbridge. ee Obituary CHARLES EDWIN LAMB At his home, Manchester, Ontario, on Tuesday, February 6th, Charles Edwin Lamb, beloved husband of the late Mary Jane Martin, passed away in his 81st year.

Minutes of previous meeting read ayd adopted. ' A large Delegation from the north end of Township was pres- ent: requesting that some action be taken regarding the delapitated condition of some of the schools, especially. Caesarea School. This school has been an evesore to school boards long before the Area was formed. It was built on a mud lot and foundation was built on Oak Planks. After a long discussion, the de- legation suggested that Caesarea school be scraped and a new school be built at Nestleton. The dele- gation did not think it wise to spend money , trying to .repair these old schools;*That had served their day and were outdated. The Chairman advised the dele- gation that the Board had for some time been giving serious and care- ful consideration as to what was best to do for the interests of all concerned. Repair the old schools for a time, build 2 schools or one Central School, fand had not as yet arrived at any decision, and weve quite willing to listen to any sug- gestipns from any organization or individual in any part of the Area.

This was an increase of $624.63 over last year, with the same mill rate, viz 7 mills. ' . This was - considered a good showing, when Teachers' Salaries, Transportation, Books & all other supplies had increased in price. The chairman stated that this was accomplished by a system of grad- ing schools and eliminating the small school, as a school with an attendance of 6 to 10 was as ex- pensive to maintain as one of 30.

It was con- ducted by the Grade 13 students and was very impressive, The Master of Ceremonies was Peter Sulman and the pianist was Mar- ilvn Gibson. Peter opened the assembly by these words, "Canada mourns the passing of King George VI and there is grief in every heart, for we were all of his family". Next we sang "Abide With Me" and re- peated the 23rd Psalm. After Mr. Crane gave an inter- esting talk _about our late King we payed our respects by two min- utes silence. Following this, Ca- therine Hall presented a fine eul- ogy of the King. She said, "The mourning of the nation is so deep and genuine because it is the true reflection of the heart of each cit- izen. When death of the great touches intimately thé hearts of the lowly, then the great man is truly great. "In the announcement of the King's death the official words are these: 'The King is dead; long live the Queen!" We never hear the first without the second, for they 'are inseparable.
