I regret to learn that many School Section in Grey County there should be any ratepayers who believe the School Fairs were started or are con- trolled in any way by Miss Agnes Macphail. She positively did not start them in Ontario or Grey County either and has nothing whatever to do with them. School fairs were started in Water- loo County in 1909 by Mr F. C. Hart Agricultural Representatiye Waterloo County Three schools took part in the first School Fair. Our ofiice re- cords show that School Fairs were started in Gery County in 1913 by Mr. H. C. Dufi‘ who organized Egremont, Sydenham and Proton Schools. By 1915 Sydenham. St. Vincent. Derby. Normanby. Collingwood. Egremont. Proton and Markdale schools particz- pated. During these years Miss Mac- phail was still going to High School at Owen Snund or attending Normal. In 1917' and 18 Derby and Egremont dropped out of School Fair Work and remained out till 1921. when through the effort of myself these townships again organized. In 1920 when I first came Bentinck and South Proton Lively contretemps featured the an- nual convention of the National Box- ing Association at Toronto this week when it was alleged by several dele- gates from Canada and the eastern states that Thoms A.

The reply is also enclosed at the request of the person asking for the information: Dear Sir: I guess you do not know that a great many people claim that Miss Agnes Macphail is the one who started the School Fairs in Ontario and in Grey County. I always thought it was the Department of Agriculture. We were arguing this point not long ago and to settle the matter I am writing to you to let everybody know the truth.

Onions. on the other hand, do best in a fairly dry air. Celery re- quires a storage room with a good cir- culation of air, and conditions which give dry foliage. It is necessary, how- ever, that the roots of celery plants be in moist soil. so that the foliage will not wilt. To keep the roots moist and the foliage dry a reasonable circulation of air is necessary. Closed-up rooms invite decay if the temperature is high. Wilting of root vegetables may be prevented by covering with sand or sawdust. Leaving the storage room open, par- ticularly at night, is advisable until freezing weather approaches, when a cotton screen may be placed over the window, which will aid greatly in giving a uniform temperature. Later the ventilators should be closed during very cold weather. The larger the bulk of vegetables the greater the need for a ventilating system to give a rapid change of air and allow the escape of warm air re- sulting from storage.

For the truth of these statements we refer you to our files which are Open for your inspection at any time. If not satisfied With them you are pri- vileged 'to write to the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture which have full control of School Fairs. The Domin- ion Government in which Miss Mac- phail is interested has NO PART OR PARCEL now in connection with the school fairs of which there are 550 in Ontario. School Fairs are financed by a fee from each school section of $5.00 a township grant and profits of booth. The Championship School Fair is fin- anced by a special grant from the County Council of $100 and the bal- ance is paid by the Durham Agricul- tural Society this year. They have given $233. 25. The balance of the pro- ceeds goes to the society. I increased the schOoI fairs from 11 to 19 by 1924 in which the increase in schools was from 101 in 1920 to 214 in_ 1928.

It is now announced by W. T.

ALL TELEPHONE USERS . CAN TALK T0 EUROPE It is interesting to note, what this amounts to in the number of tele- phones brought within the talking radius of Canadian subscribers. Great Britain, 1.600.000 telephones, Germany 2,850,000, Belgium 204,000. Holland 237,000, Switzerland 224,000, France (Paris) 318,000, Denmark (Co- penhagen) 127,000; Norway (Oslo) 43,- 000, Sweden 163,000. Total in Europe 5,776,000. The Canadian telephone user is also within reach through the instrument in his home or office with telephones in the Western Hemisphere as follows: United States 18,900,000, Cuba 72,005, Mexico 30,000, Canada 1,280,000.

The executors represented by D.
