Bro. Irwin. o {the Durham Chron- icle. reminds us that he planted the trees in front of the grounds of the new Artemesia Continuation school a number of years ago. Bro. feels his chest expanding as he contemplates the fruits of his labor gracing the exterior of such a temple of learning, even though when he planted them the trees graced nothing but a garden full of weeds, with an occasional potato or onion bravely struggling for ex- istence. BRO. IRWIN PLANTED TREES. IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE The planting of shade trees is to beheartily encouraged. Much of the beauty of our little burg is oc- casioned by the large number of maple: which grace its streets. The: 031! pity is that more are not to‘oo found thereon. A few were punt- “mint.“dthopoophvho (Id 00 no to be congratuhtod. but It appears to be a favorite pas- time for princes and other celeb- rities to plant trees as monuments to themselves, as witness numer- ous trees planted in Toronto by our late and present king and others. In emulating these celeb- rities our brother of the quill has 'ailed in one respectâ€"he should have placed a brass plate on each of the trees, bearing a legend Dimilar in tone to this: “.Tree planted by .Wm. Irwin, pedagogue, in the year 1890, A. D.,” and then the world could worship. As it was, we venture to say that not three men in Flasherton knew wh ) planted the trees, and even now we hove only his word (or it. We take it for granted, however, and feel duly grateful. Jollying aside, Bro. Irwin planted better than he knew when in Flesh- erton. The trees of knowledge that he started growing in youth-‘ (ul minds here were a better mon- ument than the maples flourishing now on those grounds. As a psy- chological gardener he ranked high here, and judging by results his at: tempts at reforestration were also very successlul. Of late )ears he has, too, been successful as an ed- itor, and we are led to believe that he could succeed in anything if his determination machine was in working condition. U. IRWIN.

In attendance, the meeung was a fall- Mr. Cameron's address was a very able one. and showed him to be well up in :his subject, and that his heart was in his Work as Well In beginning his address. he said that it was his opinion that every man should make provision in some way for .his old age, and that to make this easier for the middle classes, and forestall any pauperism, such as is confronting the mother country to-dxay, was What was largely responsible for the framing of the Annuities’ Act In Great Britain and New Zea- land. the scheme is wholly support- ed rirom the public revenue. and in France and Germany. the Govern- ment. the employer and the pen- sioner iointly contribute. The Can-. adian proposition differs from all these. What the Government pro- poses to do is to receive deposits from any person at any age be- tween rtive and eighty years, and convert them into annuities, pay- able at age 55 or later, as the ap- plicant desires. The cost of man- agement and promotion in doing 'this is borne entirely by the Gov- ernment. The Government pays 4 per cent ' compound interest on all prem-. liums ~or investments, fixing the an- :nuities on that basis. In case of 'death before the annuity becomes! due a return is made of all mon-l geys paid, with interest at 3 per; cent to the 'heirs. The lowest an- inuity is $50 per annum and the highest $600. There are no forfeit- ures or lapses. The applicant gets credit for all that is paid in. How- ever, there are no withdrawals, ex- cept when the amount paid in 181 nuity of $550, then all payments with : 3 per cent. compound interest are‘ returned to the applicant at the annuity age of 55 years. The .t- is immune from attachment for debt, and is only payable to the applicant, be receiving it every ’ ty days. The applicant may, thantee his annuity for 5, 10, or . years, so that it will be paid to-his ’ heirs in case of his death during {the guarantee period, and should f he survive the guarantee period it till be continued to him as L[long as he lived without addition- ” - al charge. 3 Mr. Cameron also explained other a ' workings of the scheme, which we A“ A... can ‘au Visas;- v. .
