Watton, 0. C. of the Ont. Re- giment (11th Armoured Regt.) in his remarks following the Cadet Inspec- tion stated that if it was possible for the Corps to improve since his last inspection of 2 years ago, then de- finately 'they had done so. The Col. made these remarks following his in- . spection of the No. 41 Port Perry High School Cadet Corps last Friday afternoon at the High School. The Annual Inspection, as has been the case for a number of years, was exceptional from the very colorful Flag Presentation Ceremonies imme- diately preceeding the Inspection to the final parade dismissal. The inspecting party, consisting-of Col. Watton, Lt, W. R, Carleston, Rep- resentative of "H.Q. Central Ontario Area, Mrs. Gordon Reesor, Mr. Wm. Beare and Mr, Ray Litt of the teach- ing Staff, after inspecting the ranks moved to the saluting base for the march past of the Corps. The Cadets throughout the inspection of the ranks were exceptionally steady on parade and the march past was carried out "with no noticable hitches (if there were any). Following the ceremonial portion of the parade the Cadets broke off to their respective demonstration groups. The first of these, the Bren Gun, Teams, demonstrated effectively the "firing procedure, assembly and dis- assembly. of the Bren Gun with a com- mentary by Cadet Capt. Ian Beare. The Rifle Squad, commanded by Cadet . + Lt. Don Elford gave a very good dis- play of precision Rifle Drill. Set up at various points on the campus the Signals Teams had the Walkie Talkies working and the spectaters were in- vited to move in and #ee how they were operated. The "Girls Physical Education Demonstration was by far the best we have seen here in a num- ber of years. Miss Brock, their In- structor, is to be congratulated on a new and different approach to this part of the programme. Each year we have seen the Band grow in numbers and quality but this vear they exceeded all previous band demonstrations. The Drummers In particular were exceptional. Mr. Jef- ford the band instructor can be justly proud of 'their performance, especially during the march past. After the resuming of ranks Mr. MacDonald called on' the Inspecting Officer, Col. Watton for his remarks. Col. Watton was well pleased with the general efficiency of the Corps and gave special mention to the girl ea- dets. in that they showed interest in the school' by participating in the Cadet programme. Col. Watton then Tresented the Strathcona Shield to last year's Corps Commander, Cadet Major Robt. Car- negie. Lt. W. R. Carleston, representative of H.Q. Central Ont. Area, presented the Strathcona Crests_to last years officers, and the Strathcona Trust Crest to the Corps best shot, Cadet Capt. Ralph Williams, 0.C. P.P.H.S. Cadet Corps. The presentation of the Corps Com- mander's Best Cadet Trophy was made by Mr. Howard Hall, and was presented to this year's winners, Ca- det Captain Mary Lynn Hodgins and Cadet Major Robt. Carnegie.

Last Wednesday morning the High School was visited by Mr, Lakie, As- sistant Superintendent of Education for Ontario and his guest Dr. Byrne, Director of Education for the Pro- vince of Alberta. Dr. Byrne was interested in seeing a District High School in operation. He was interested in the distribution of pupils through the various optional courses offered in an Ontario District School. He said his province had the farms but not the farm education to the desired extent. Mr. Lakie and Dr. Byrne were quite interested in the Cadet Corps as it was preparing to parade downtown. Dr. Byrne was impressed with the cadet officer dis- cipline and the response of the ranks to the officer commands. He ex- pressed the thought that the girls with the boys made a good school corps and contributed greatly to school spirit. The Agriculture plot, which Mr. Litt is working in co-operation with Mr. Fair of the Department of Agri- culture, was something not scen in his province of Alberta, This plot is a very fine _demonstration of propo- gation of various types of hay crops. The farmers of the community per- haps would be interested in the de- monstration as was Dr. Byrne and Mr. Lakie. Secondary School Headmasters Meet At Port Perry With Grant MacDonald as the Pre- sident of the Ontario-York Headmas- ters Association this group met at the Port Perry High School for its semi-annual dinner meeting. The Principals of Agincourt, Rich- mond Hill, Thornhill, Aurora, Brad- ford, Newmarket, Suttor, Brock-Can- nington, Uxbridge, Stouffville, Mark- ham, and Port Perry meet twice a year to talk policy and share planning of « the twelve district secondary schools. The fall meeting is devoted to current comparisons of courses and general administrative problems. The spring meeting, Mr. MacDonald says, is a discussion of examination time tabling and standards and an over-all plan of operation for the next year. Mr. MacDonald believes that the principals gain very much from the meetings of this small group and that by meéting together the principals can work the twelve neighbouring High Schools along somewhat similar policy of organization and adminis- tration. At this spring meeting in Port Perry the Headmasters had the hap- py privilege of presenting a small token gift to Mr. John Knowles who is retiring this June as the principal of the Aurora High School. Mr. Knowles expressed regret at his re- tirement and hoped he might be per- mitted to join the discussions of the group as an observer. Mr. Knowles reminisced of his early years. as Au- rora's Principal and listed some of the changes in administration which had taken place over the years--the buses, the buildings, the courses.

Jeanne Williams Receives Gold Cord "The highest honour that goes to a girl guide was presented to Jeanne Williams of the First Port Perry Com- pany at a ceremony Wednesday May 21st in the United Church. This vil- lage was privileged to have the De- puty Provincial Commissioner, Mrs. D. R. Gunn here to make the presenta- tion and to be the guest speaker. The two Guide Companies and the Brownies Pack together with Jeanne's family and friends filled the Church to show her, their regard for her. Mrs. Dobson at the organ played the world guide song as the Colom Party came forward to present colours Guides and Brownies gave their own prayers and Geraldine Cooper the Guide Laws, Four of the Brownies gave "A salute to a Gold Cord Guide", a verse written by the former Brown Owl Mrs. Jean Humphreys and Mis. Hill. The division commissioner Mrs. Frank Godley, read "A creed for a Guide". Mrs. Godley then introduced Mis. Gunn who made the presentation. Mrs. Gunn very graciously place the cord of gold silk where Jeanne's all- round cord had been. We all felt that this honour had come to rest up on the rightful shoulders. Mrs, Gunn spoke on the meaning of the gold and that strength of character, the willingness to serve at all times, the ability to persevere, to rise above difficulties with a cheerful smile, and to keep "Ture and Strong and True." As we had sung in the Guide hymn, "God who touches earth and beauty", were the keys to the gold cord. We were reminded that the guide who has be- fore her, her promise and law and strives to make them an integral part of her daily living is the true gold cord guide. Badges alone are not the way, Mrs. D. Milne, chairman of the Ladies' Association presented Jeanne with a Gold Cord Pin on behalf of all Guide and Brownie Mothers. Gold Cord Guide, Karel Espie, gave Jeanne a gift from the two companies and then saluted her smartly in true Guide spirit. With Murs. Dobson playing "Land of Hope and Glory" the Colour Party left, and after "O Canada" the Padre of the Guides and Jeanne's Minister, Rev. Mr, Linstead, pronounced the benediction. Tea and refreshments were served to, the guests and Guide Leaders. Mis. Milne presided at the tea tahle, and the Guides served. When all present. ations had béen made to Jeanne (in- cluding a beautifully wrapped six inch doughnut) Jeanne in turn presented her Guide captain with a lovely plant stand of wrought iron and pink pot- tery. Mrs. Dobson was sincerely thanked for her part in contributing the music. We do appreciate the graciousness cord stressed {eign Missions. Obituary MRS.
