We have not our wives with us and | are very busy as we must finish cut job in four months.

C. Government, a delegation of four business men were selected (of which I am one) to come to Ausâ€" tralia and New Zealand and see what could be done, especially to promote a better will between them and Canâ€" adaâ€"and more especially B. C. and those two colonies of the Empire. I believe we will meet with a Vdegreo of success. The boat trip from Vancouver to Sydney takes 21 days and we had pleasant weather all the way.

The team emerging on top after these contests, will meet the winner of Milvertonâ€"Wingham in the finals on Wednesday, Feb. 26th and Friday, Feb. 28th. Thus by the first of March, the Durhams will be either Sr. Northern champs, or alsoâ€"rans, uhâ€" less soft weather throws a / monkeyâ€" wrench into the arrangements.

Durham is ‘glated to meet the winâ€" ner of, the â€" Shelburneâ€"Altonâ€"Hillsâ€" burg group, which three teams are still busy determining a victor. Alton beat Sheiburne $â€"2 last week which ties them with Hillsbwg. Hillsburg and Alton have a tie game to play off, and the winner will then meet Shelburne for district championship. These games are being played this week, and the best team of the three will play in Durham next Monday night, Feb. l7th, with return game, probably in Shelburne on Wednesday .

It is perhaps not so much the actual work done that wears upon the frontier worker, as the vision of the untouched work which can cnly be realized as we at the home base beâ€" come more earnest in prayer and study and more generous in gifts of personal service and nioney. In her address of Missicns north of Edmonton, Miss Ball told of the varâ€" ious home schools in the Ukranian eclony, which is bounded by Indian reserves, that whole section of counâ€" try having been well known and traâ€" versed by the McDougal‘s in its preâ€" railway days.

Thus 21 pupils ,many of them an unruly bunch, failed to come up to the 60 per cent standard and were sent to Principal Magee for punish ment, who tock the old fashioned strap as the most effective means of punishment. Prin. Magee, in all of his 25 years‘ teaching experience, never used the strap to this extent, and naturally this action cof his has caused more than considerable comâ€" ment in Hanover. One irate citizen, Mr Tully, writes to the Torento Star in the following graphic language : It was this way. A Junior teacher, Miss Fisher, of the Jr. III grade,| warned her pupils that if they did not cbtain 60 per cent in a music exâ€" amination, they would be sent to the‘ Principal for punishment. These puâ€"‘ pils had neglected cther work as| well, but â€" especially their music : | several of them failed on the music| exam in 1929. It was really second grade work they were doing, while they were a Jr. III class, On this special examination it was necessary | for the pupils to have eight questions | right out of twelve. | "These were straighway â€" paraded before the principal, James Magee,j who like Simon Leg:iree, straightway | applied the strap with telling effect,| sending boys and girls alike hom(g swollen handed and crying in a state ; cf rebelliousness at the wrong perâ€"| petrated upon their defenceless perâ€"| sons." | There is a tempest in a teapot ovâ€" er in our sister town, Hanover. The tea or stcrm was brewing for a day or two previcus, but boiled cover on Friday last, when Principal Magee strapped consecutively 21 _ pupils.
