Better Educated Than Our Twin County Statistics generally make pretty dry reading, but when they make comparisons about yaur own community that's a different matter. Sa we pass on this observation which favors Durham County. It would appear that the caunty of Durham is better educated than is the county of Northum- berland, according to figures re- leased by the Dominion Bureau of Statisties. Northumberland had 3,000 persons more than Durham who are over five years of age but only 800 more attend- ing school. Of those who have compieted school, 23,799 in Northumberland and 21,383 in Durham, the form- er bad 1,058 persons who went no higher than grade 4. Durham bas 890 in the same category. In Northumberland there are 12,336 who have education rating be- tween grades 5 and 8, whereas Durham has 10,462. Getting into the high sehool categary, Durham, despite the fact that it is smaller in popula- tion, has 7,509 who have received schooling from grades 9 ta 12, Northumberland has 7,406. Having education equal to grade 13 or better, there are 1,857 in Northumberland and 1,801 in Durham. Northumberland has 1,142 persons who neyer went to school while there are only 890 in Durham without any education. If's Ail in Knowing How! HOME, car, furnishings.

Village of Bethany History Appears in Durham Club Folder Since secuning a very capable and newsworthy correspondent in Bethany over a year ago The Statesman bas carnied many bis- tanical articles about the "Capitah ai Manvens Township" which bave made interesting reeding. Tbe falhowing facta about Beth- any appeared in the January pro- gramme ai the Durham County Club ai Toronta which features eacb month the background about the villages ai Durham County. Bethany One ai the earliest ai the pion- eer famihies in the vicinity ai Bethany was that of Isaac Preston who with bis wife and four sons came fnom Amherst Island in 1837. His eldest son, James, took up land and built a grist miii about two miles southwest ai the present village. This mil is stihi in use. Rumours ai a reilway encaur- aged more settlers ta the district and land was graduably cleared on the site ai the present village. Most ai the immigrants were irom Nortbern Ireland. Tbey landed at Port Hope and treked northward inta Cavan and then westward into Manvers. The or- iginal Irish dielect is stili pre- dominant in Cavan and Manvers Townships. In 1885 a public meeting was called ta decide on a name ion the settiement and new railway sta- tion soon ta be built. Some ai the suggested names were: Fells- ville, Gnahamsfown, Middletown, and Mullen Hill. Finally the name Bethany was agreed upon because if is, as is said in the Bible ai thaf other Bethany, "A tiny village nesfled in among the bills". In 1857 the long awaited Mid- land Railway was completed irom Port Hope ta Lindsay. New in- dustries opened up and Bethany became a very active and tbniv- ing village duning the 1860's and 1870's. Since then mucli ai this industrial activity bas been basf, the present population being only about 300. The Bethany Ski Hilîs have in recent years made the village a considenable winter nesant. ]KIRBY (Intended far basf week) Mn. and Mns. Jim Rutherford visited wifh Mn. and Mns. R.

Wildlife Fatality A large beaver was found dead in Hindon Township, a victim af bis awn carelessness. Investiga- tion showed that a Poplar tre being felled by the beaver had lodged against an adjaining tree. In attempting ta dislodge the poplar tree thie beaver had cut an the under-side which na good woodsman should ever do. The resuit was that when the tree gave way its stem pinned the beaver's big fiat taîl ta the ground and held him there until he died. Turns Fire Fighter While following a truck on Highway No. 35, Officer Tolmie realized there was more smoke caming from the back of the truck than would be coming from the exhaust pipe. On getting dloser he saw that the back of the truck was an f ire, unknown to the driv- er. Officer Tolmie pulled past the truck and stopped it by use ai bis flasbing stop lamp; be then grabbed the f ire extinguisher from bis sedan-delivery and put out the fire in the back of the truck.

CADMUS Bowmanville Boy Living in Lethbridge Hits the Headlines A press despatch tram Leth- bridge, Alta.. papers the past week bas mare than a passing in- ferest ta citizens living in the Bowmanville district for if refers ta a native of this town, T. Herb- erf McCready, son ai the late be- loved Mrs. A. E. McCready who for many years lived on Silver St., opposite the Central Public School. Mr. McCready is also the father ai Mrs. Byron Vanstone of King St. West. The despatch follows: Lethbridge, Alta.-When drug- gist Thomas H. McCready moved into bis new store bere if was just like caming home again after 34 years. If was on the same site where he started business in 1909. He had been forced out oi that spot in 1919 when fire gutted the drug store. Mr. McCready came irom Bow- manville, Ontario, in 1906, stop- ping in Calgary and Edmonton. Aifer spending a winter in a tent on what now is Jasper Avenue, Edmonton's main tharoughiare, he shoved on ta Lethbridge ta stay. With 54 years af pharmacy be- hind him, Mr. McCready iinds the years have cbanged the business and its approach ta the public. In iacf, be says, "if you Ici t the business for a year you wouldn't know where you were when you came back." In the early days, drug stores carried littie besides drugs. Naw. while drugs sfill are important, Mr. McCready's store also carnies cosmetics, magazines, cameras and tays, something almosf unheard ai in the old days. Justice is truth in action.- Disraeli. ccTheL die has now been cast" An American manufacturer was planning to open a plant in Canada. He considered various locations and found what seemed a likely site. H1e talked to a local bank manager, got facts about the community and its faciities.1 Some time later the company wrote to the banker: "The die has now been cast. It is aur intention to locate in S ... We feel that it is well su ited ta aur particular operation. You have been of great aid ta us. Yaur accurate and rapid presentation of facts necessary ta reach a, decision was top-notch." Such letters show how a branch bank servcs not only its own depositors and other customers but how, by assistirîg business development, it benefits the whole community.
