From here they journeyed Heoiak Oregon and the beautiful redwood country of California where another' ranger gave interesting facts and his- tory of these oldest of living things, the giant redwood trees growing when Christ was. bein. They crossed the Golden Gate Bridge into 'Sah Francisco where the Spanish style pastel shades of stucco houses presented a beauti- ful picture, then an unforgetable trip to China Town, a ride on a cable car, Cliff House and a quick dip in the Pacific Ocean. They took a sightseeing tour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica (in the Hollywood Bowl the group had their pictures taken and sang "0 Canada") and saw 'the homes of many film stars.

Scenes of Bryce Canyon and Sunset Point and a vivid description of swimming in the buoy- ant salt water of Salt Lake City were given. Miss Wilson interspersed her films with amusing views of bird and ani- mal life, camp life, a sketch of -the construction of their bus, pancake making at breakfast time, laundry | lines and shots on the numerous hikes made to points of interest. It was significant that on each of the seven Sundays church, services were attended in the variouk centres, or held by the group, and since re- turning, contact has been kept with two of the Presbyterian churches vis- ited by the speaker.

North Simcoe Jr. Farmers Debating Team Win Second Round "The topic "Resolved that the preé- sent Farm Labour Situation is det- rimental to Canadian Agriculture" gave rise to a lively debate fn the se- cond round of the Provincial Junior Farmer Debating Competition in Oril- lia on Friday, February bth, The affirmative side was upheld by Ross Rowat and Tom Ross of North Simcoe while Norm Lyons and Maus- tyn McKnight, Ontario County, sup- ported the negative, The North. Simcoe Team argued that with the present scarcity of farm labour' approximately two million ac- res of farm land had gone out of pro- duction in the ten year period between 1941 and "1951, farm buildings and fences. were gradually' going into a :state of disrepair, farmers were being forced to work long hours, and gen- erally that farming was not a very attractive proposition. The negative side refuted these claims and pointed out that even with fewer farm workers, farm production had increased greatly during the last decade. Mechanization had, they claimed, liberated -the farmer from the clutches of. indifferent hired help. The North Simcoe Teant finally con- vinced the judges with their argu- third round.
