Attorneyâ€"General Inspects Guard It is no small honor to have the greatest improvement in farm home grounds and buildings in the, Proâ€" vince of Ontario for 1940. Such is the distinction won by John C. Hamâ€" ilton, one mile east of Durham in the Second Farm and Home Improveâ€" ment Contest sponsored by the Farmâ€" ers‘ Magazine, in cooperation with Fall Fair Associations and the Onâ€" tario Dept. of Agriculture. Before a fair crowd of citizens, Gordon D. Conant, Attorneyâ€"General of Ont., and H. S. McCready, Deputy Com‘r., Ontario Provincial Police inâ€" spected the Durham Volunteer Civil Guard about 4.30 Sunday afternoon. The Guard were lined up in the Town Park where the distinguished visitors walked between the lines of each of the four platoons to. observe the deportment of each individual member. Speaking to the .commandâ€" ing Officer, J. B. Duifield after the Guard had left the Park on the march back to school grounds, Mr. Conant expressed his pleasure at the smart appearance and training of the Durâ€" ham Guard, brightened he thought, by the uniform red caps. _ After inâ€" spection Mr Conant addressed the Guard and crowd for some 20 minutes. ‘The idea of the Civil Guards, he said, originated in Port Co"borne last May: since then there Mr. Dan Firth, a former member of the local Pregpyterian Young Peoples‘ Society and now a student of Knox College, Toronto, was again elected to the high position of Presâ€" ident of Presbyterian Young Peoples‘ Society for the Province of Ontario. Dan. along with other members of the Provincial Society, was installed into office at the Sunday evening serâ€" vice in St. Paul‘s Presbyterian Church, Hamilton. Won First in Ontario for Home Improvement are now 180 organized Volunteer Civil Guards in Ontario, with a memâ€" bership of 40,000. Ontario‘s readiness in organizing and signing up with these Guards has been admired in other Provinces, and is spreading. To the fact that these Civil Guards are an effective force in the province, ready for duty and action if necesâ€" sary, Mr Conant gave credit for| there being little sabotage,. Without! them. fifth columnists and â€" those: seeking to destroy public utilities, etc., might be more active. There| DANIEL J. FIRTH HEADS ' PROVINCIAL SOCIETY may be sabotage yet to a greater exâ€" tent but be felt assured the Guards would be an effective force in thwartâ€" ing it. Many thought we were in no dAanger from air raids; we shouldn‘t take this for granted in this war; anything may happen. We must be prepared to meet any threats. Out of an enroliment of slightly over 100. there were §4 Civil Guards on parade here. Had it not been a Sunday before a holiday, a full: turnâ€" out would doubtless have registered. m h d udn Aut un in Mr and Mrs P.
