DURHAM CHRONICLE under the pose of the Parliamént Buildings. ice cream and rehesh- merits could be purchased on Sun- day and nothing was thought of The fact that. at. the, same time at. Sunnyside Beach in Toronto. and at. any other summer resort in the proxince one cared to visit. the Sunday selling of ice cream “as done openly and without prosecu- tion. was not considered lowih This was the point that. appeared unfair dto us.

Teachers of the class who make and break contracts are no strength to the organization and should be disciplined. If the Fed- eration sits back and takes no notice of things of this kind its days of usefulness are few. W'e find no fault with any teacher getting as large a salary as possible. but once a contract is signed, We must. expect a member of this honorable profession to stick tn it. Otherwise; a contract must he regainled as nothing more than a "scrap of paper” and a useless one at. that. What would this same teacher have thought had the Fergus Board. after hiring her, been offer- ed the services of a teacher at a lower salary and accepted? There would likely have been a wail to high heaven about the dishonesty of school boards whose word and signature was not worth anything. and just one. more proof that the world is still dishonest. mess. a brnken Contract. means 9. Still for damages and it would seem at this distance that, the Fergus School Board has a good caseâ€"if they can prove it and win it. It is altogether likely however that they will put up with a bad condition and look for_ enoiher teacher. ‘1 ’1 A The Chronicle is not. comers am with the tm ts in the case but it would appear on the surface that the teacher in question had done nothing more or less than go back on her gixen “01d,and,paossibh', legilldiait'd her signature on the tiniit‘ti line that she signed when she accepted the 192839 term in the reigns sthool. In ree ular hus- Fergus school Board, according to 13st weeks News -Re_corc1. is up against. the p1oposition of hiring another teacher for the High school to take the place of one who re- signed the other day after having signed up tor another V'ear with Fmgns. The reason giVen in the News-Recent is that the teacher 1eceiwc1 a higher offer from an- other Bchool; and now the Board is \Vomtmin" where it can secure another~ teacher at this late date. Whosoever is afraid of submit- ting any question, civil or religious, to the test of free discussion, is more in love with his own opinion than with the truthâ€"WATSON.

DEFAI'LTING TEACHERS Thursday, August 16, 1928 .I. .L Strasheim, school inspector, aim has arr-ix ed in Canada from; South Africa tos spend a year as inspector of schools. Dr. A. E. Marty of Toronto is taking Mr. Strasheims work in Africa under empire teachers’ exchange. The late Mr. Weir was a printer by trade. having served his ap- prenticeship in the Review Office, and followed the trade for a num- ber of years. A sister, Mrs. Joseph Atkinson. now lives in Elbow. Sask. Besides these Mr. Weir leaves a Widow, three sons and three daughters. The death occurred Thursday last in Windsor of Mr. Adam Weir. a native of Glenelg Township where he was born 65 years ago. He. was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Weir, and a brother of Mr. William Weir of Glenelg, and John of Egremont, who were present at the funeral 0n Satur- day. The deceased had been ail- ing for the past two or three )‘031':l. I Late Adam Weir Was a Son of Late Mr. and Mrs. John Weir, and Was Born in Glenelg 65 "Aâ€"uâ€" I - - NATIVE 0F GLENELG DIED IN WINDSOR The Baptist Ladies’ Aid held a very enjoyable picnic last Thursâ€" day afternoon on the spacious llawn of one of its members, Miss E. Redford. Many races and games for the young folk as well as the older ones were held during the afternoon, and caused much sport. and merriment for all. At the supper hour all gathered in a large circle and partook of a dainty lunch. at the same time enjoying the fellowship one with another which such an occasion affords. ‘ We can agree with the editor of The News that it is quite possible that the United States has the largest geographically ignorant population proportionately in the world. Some of them do not even know their own cuntry, as we well remembered one fellow with whom we were associated in Virginia asking us what part of the Old Country Boston was in, and we have little doubt some of them be- lieve Canada is a land of perpetual snow, but they are not the tour- ists whom we entertain each sum- mer. There are a lot. of ignorant people in the United States, and no doubt a good many who know absolutely nothing about. Canada, but these fellows are not touring around in expensive cars during the summer months. Anyway, where did this fellow of two or three weeks ago, who came from Georgia, buy his toboggan? Surely there is no one in Canada who has toboggans on diSpIay and for sale in July and August! Perhaps the Georgian bought the toboggan in Macon, where a dispatch from Quebec said he had shipped it after finding the snow too light fox'wintei' sports. ‘1‘ We still stick to our guns, howâ€" ever. and say that we even yet cannot bring ourselves to the point or believing this yarn. \Ve cannot claim a resxdence of eighteen 'years on the border, but we can claim a residence of about ten years in the United States and its colonies, and in that time our journeyings took us_i11to.e\'ery State in the Union. A couple of weeks ago we refer- red to the hardy annual story of a man from the Southern States ap- pearing in Hamilton with a tobog- gan expecting to go tobogganing on his arrival in Canada; and Said that we did not believe the story. Now the editor of the Teeswater News passes out for our informa- tion that he believes every word of it, basing his knowledge on a residence of eighteen years on the Canadian-1.7.8. border at Bridge-1 burg. ‘ Years Ago. To the. average Durhamite the change in the law makes little difference. Very few ice. cream par- lors or refreshment booths do business [on Sunday. The Sunday selling of refreshments has been forced on us by the auto tourist, and so long as the law permits only the sale of refreshments and food- stufi‘s, and frowns on trinkets, souvenirs and the like, we do not think that very much harm has been done. it; in Durham someone came very nearly being fined for dispensing a few ice cream cones that were con- sumed only a few feet from the premises on which they were pur- chased. To us it appeared that Toronto had one law and rural Ontario another. BAPTIST ‘ LADIES’ AID \VE STILL DOUBT IT Rev. and . M'rs..
