Winners of Bentinck Aunual Ploughing Match The third annual plowing match of the Bentinck Plowman‘s Association was held on the farm of Bob Reay at Campbell‘s Corner, on Wednesday morning and afternoon of last week, and proved to be the most successful they have ever had. ‘There were 24 entries for the eight different classâ€" es, and a large number of spectators, including the largest number of the gentle sex ever to attend the Benâ€" tinck match. As the match was held only a mile from Hanover, many townspeople took this opportunity to witness the contest. One feature of the meet was the donation of a silver trophy for boys of 20 and under by the Elmwood branch of the Royal Bank The preâ€" sentation was made by the manager of the bank, R. H. Buckingham, to Lloyd Krauter. ‘The cup has to be won trice before it becomes the prope~ of the winner. Th in charge af the match were IJohn "*. Aherns, president; Wes. Mag=~e~~. viceâ€"president; J.

Jehovah Witnesses Cases Again Adjourned Mrs Olive Noble, R. R. No 1, Durâ€" ham; Robert Stephens, Derby Townâ€" ship; Cecil Barfoot, Arthur, Spencer and Roy Barfoot, all residents of Keppel ‘Township, charged under the Defence of Canada Regulations with upholding and supporting the prinâ€" ciples of an illegal organization, apâ€" peared in police court again on Fn~‘ day morning in accordance with thei decision of Magistrate Spereman to reserve judgment in the cases. The Magistrate stated that he was in reâ€" ceipt of a letter from the Counsel for the accused asking for & further adjournment of the case until Monâ€" Gay, October 2ist, as it would be impossible for him to appear beâ€" fore that date. Accordingly he adâ€" ijourned the cases until the above date. # ‘The charges laid against the above‘ accused arose out of alleged instruc-‘ tions given to the children of accused not to sing the National Anthem or salute the British flag at their respe®â€" tive schools. The parents claimed that they were witnesses for Jehovâ€" zh and that they would not serve any king but Him.

BLYTHE THE DURHAM REVIBW Voluntery Aid Asks for More Knitters The usual weekly meeting of the Voluntary Aid to the Red Cross took place on Tuesday afternoon in the school room of Queen St. United Church. There were 46 members preâ€" sent. The meeting opened with the National Anthem played by Mrs. L. Aitcheson. ‘The "refugee sewing" is coming along quite satisfactorily and the ladies are ready for the new shipâ€" ment of materials, which is expected to arrive at any time. Letters of appreciation from boys who have received igifts of sweaters and socks, were read. It is interestâ€" ing to note at this time that 93 sweaâ€" ters and 95 pairs of socks have alâ€" ready been given out. The members are anxious that these boys should receive helmets and half mittens at Christmas. This is to be a gift donâ€" ated by the ladies of the Voluntary Aid, quite independent of what the Red Cross itself may decide to do. For this purpose at least 58 more helâ€" mets and considerably more than that number of balf mittens are still reâ€" quired to be knitted, and the ladies would very much appreciate help with the knitting of these goods. To obtain the necessary postage for shipment of these articles, the memâ€" bers have decided to impose a ten cent levy on each member. This in addition to the amount raised at the next 10c monthly tea should cover the amount required. ‘The meeting closed by repeating the Lord‘s Prayer led by Miss Vickerson. A ‘"partial" answer â€" to the deâ€" mands in Parliament and the press for a powerful short wave radio staâ€" tion to carry Canada‘s voice into othâ€" er countries is given, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announced on Friday, in the begining of such a station at Quebec.

RAMAGE. Editor and Proprietor JEKHOVAHâ€" WITNESSES ‘ A PROBLEM TO AUTHORITIES In Hamilton. a total of 27 children have declined to salute the flag or sing. the National Anthem in the schools of that city To this total may be added many others in variâ€" ous parts of the province. 3 The children of course, are CaITyâ€" ing out the orders of their parents, and the parents in turn are but showing their aliegiance to that fanâ€" atical organization, Jehovah‘s Witnesâ€" ses. Mayor Morrison of Hamilton has declared that there has been enough "buckpassing" and "pussyfooting" in this matter, and that parents oi ‘children who refuse to salute the flag or sing the National Anthem must be prosecuted. It is stated that the father of one of the childâ€" ren is a caretaker in one of the city schools. In continuing to send their childâ€" ren to school day after daiy, followâ€" ing their suspension, it is evident that the Jshovah Witnesses are actâ€" ing under legal advice and blatantly flaunting the authorities. It is a difficult situation, and it may be these fanatics would welcome imprisâ€" onment for the sake of being regardâ€" ed as martyrg in the Cause. 1.
