At 10.30 a.m. the session opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Osborne of St. .Paul's Presby- terian church. Minutes were read by the secretary-treasurer, Mr. H. H. Boyes, and the auditors' report showed a balance on hand of $35.40. Mr. K. T.

On resuming at 1.30 p.m. an excellent report of the Eastei convention was given by the secre- tary, which was followed by the pres- 'dcnt's address, both of which will be sent to the "Educational Journal" for publication. Mrs. Plugs gave a pat- riotic reading. Mr. M. A. Campbell Toronto, who succeeds as secretary of the O.E.A., the late Wm. Morris, was present and delivered an address on school administration, which develop- ed a splendid discussion. The speak- er declared that what we put in educa- tion we get out for our children, who arc our future citizens and admini- strators. He advocated the consul- tation of the inspectors when select- ing a teacher, which was an import- ant part of the trustees' duties. That religious instruction /-tumid be re- ceiving more attention in our schools and that moral trarning and character building was as essential as any part of the curriculum. Arithmetic, he tliougrt was not taught in a pdactical way, he stressed the home's respon- sibility to the child and the parents' -o-operation with the teacher am" frvored a rigid medical inspection. How we pay our secondary educa- tion was briefly outlined by County Clerk, Fred Rutherford, Owen Sound, and Mr. Robt. Crane spoke on the du ties of n school attendance officer, i which the speaker gave many instanc es of how a properly paid and cffic lent ofifcer could benefit the schoo by increasing the regular attendanc of indifferent pupils, mainly throug the neglect of parents or guardians. Mr. S. S. Fetch, principal of Thorn Imry public school, had a class prison thai rendered two choruses, demon stratinp the progress music instruc tion was making in the school.

Deshoro was selected for the next place of meeting and the Rath- fritijr adjourned at about 6.30 p.m There were over 1^0 present, am much enthusiasm prevailed. Sun Timos. WHEN PIGS WERE ?3 AND HIRED MAN GOT S4 A MONTH Respecting h-.rd tirm-p, thfre is nc one who will not admit that these are hard times, but according to those who can remember back more than half a century this country has weath- ered times of stress, which in some respects were equal to, if not more serious than th?. present. The Walk- erton Telescone says that "Regarding the prevailing low nrice of hogs, Alex McLennan recollects that in "94 the prfce paid for dressed porkers was as low as ?3 per cwt., which is lower than the present price live weight. And Mayor Schwindt recalls that ono of his first jobs was on a farm, where he was hired for a period of six sum- mer months at $4 per month. Day light saving was not necessary then i.t being a case of being on the job from dawn till dark. Besides thif he was ill for one dny and had to make good at the expiration of his contract, and also was "docked" fif- teen cents, the price of a straw hat belonging to his employer, which if was claimed he had in some way beer the cause of it being lost."

Of thirty-eight sheep and lambs only six were left alive. It is thought that the dogs visited the flock on two separate oc- casions. The owner a few evening later laid in wait and was able to dis- patch one dog which was feeding on R carcass. Albion sheep valuator- wore called in and application will be made to the council for compensation Bolton Enterprise. 54 Years Of Service We are pleased to congratulate Mr. W. W. Ramage of Priceville on the attaining of his 54 years of continu- ous leading in the service of praise, on the last Sunday in May. Com- plimentary and congratulatory re- marks were made by the preacher of the day, Rev. Mr. McCarten, one time popular minister in Priceville. Mr. Ramage says that of the 130 or more with whom he has been associat- ed in the past he holdls them all in the kindest remembrance, with nc feeling of resentment towards any thus showing the humanizing touc and loving harmony of music. Fif teen of the number have gone on be- fore, whom he holds in loving re- membrance. ^ MARKETING ONTARIO FRUIT One result of the depression is the increased work in systematic market- ifng. The latest manifestation of this is the announcement of Col. T L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, to extend the present fruit selling organization in the other Canadian Provinces. This will be effected through the Ontario Growers' Mark- ets Council. Permanent commercial representa- tives are to be stationed in Winnipeg Montreal and the Maritimes, during the selling season, while efforts in Great Bwtain are to be increased in order to supply best quality produce shipped in the most satisfactory manner. Strenuous endeavors will be made on the Prairies to regain the market enjoyed by Ontario in years gone by. British Columbia is a large fruit pro- ducer, and Ontario, despite the ex- cellent reputation of its fruits, will have a powerful opposition, especially when it comes to packing and main- taining standards. Our small fruits, cherries and strawberries in particu- lar, and our hamper packed apples | as vjall as peaches, pears and plums i should appeal to Western people, many of whom formed an appetite for such delicacies before moving from Ontario to the prairies. Montreal is a market for all var- ieties of Ontario produce. A com- mercial representative in that city can do much towards promoting ord- erly marketing, preventing gluts and price-cutting, and adjusting claims on an equitable basis. For using fishing nets in the Not- towasaga River without a licr>se, six ! men were fined $15 each in the Barrie ; Police Court. The Canadian wheat carry-over July 31st, 1932, will be in the neigh- borhood of 103 million bushels, ac- cording to an estimate published by the Bureau of Statistics. This* is the smallest carry-over since July 31 1928. we re Low evening rates eu stalioii-lo-ii.i- lioii c.illt bs^ia 7.00 p.m. Sli:i lati-cr ni^ht rtlzs at 8.30 />.:. feeling fine" Joe Thoinpcon and his wife were glad when Gwcn finished Business College and got a good position in the ci;v.
