Commodor Simpson opened the meeting by introducing Mr. R, Findlayson of Toronto who is Secretary of the Canadian Boating Federation and Editor of the Cana- dian Magazine. Eater Mr. Findlayson gave a clear ex- planation of the aims and purposes of the Canadian Boating Federation and the procedure in electing the com- mittee 'of management and various committees who cover the whole field of boating and yachting. He pointed out the advantage of having all clubs, groups and classes under one federa- tion with the resulting strength that the Federal Government and the American Boating Association recog- nized it as the one Canadian authority for racing aiid boating in Canada. This gave boat Uwners and yacht men a good means of checking adverse leg- - . islation and_of correcting hazardous conditions, -- Commodor Simpson thanked Mr. 'Findlayson and left the meeting open for questions and discussions, You may wonder what advantage a small club suchas P.PY.C. would have "in joining the Canadian Boating Fed- eration. Well the Federation could and d do more than an individual or * small club, by reason of its strength, "in rectifying an adverse condition of any kind. It could also assist in ~~ Federal matters and in Regattas by sending out official referees, setting up official racing courses, set the rules and regulations, and in oe ing Regattas seeing that records made by members be recognized as "official in Canada. This does not mean that the Federation runs Regattas; that is left to the Club Regatta Committee. The appointéd regatta committee is as follows: Ross Mowbray (chairman) Oshawa; Hap Palmer, Bowmanville; . Don Smith, Oshawa; Gordon Porter, Toronto; G. Garrison, Port Perry. Don Smith was appointed Publicity Director for the Club, and the Secre- tary was directed to forward all in- formation sent in by members, ete, to Don Smith. An official coursé is to be layed out by a surveyer.and is to be recognized by the Canadian Boating Federation. All these plans will help to make our Regatta bigger and better.

W. Brock and Son. He conduct- ed a general store in the west half in partner ship with his son William Ross, and the east wing was rented to a chartered bank. Mr. Fred Ross clerked in the store-for some years but went to the United States about fifty years ago where he married. As his visits to his home town were very rare 'we expect not many remember him. The large family of Mr. Aaron Ross is now, we believe, reduced to two sons, Dr. John Ross and Mr. Charles Ross, both of Toronto. 62.75 + "10 BL This .is rather blunt. spirit intended.

Nevertheless, do they not merit more than a friendly, distant approval- a casual-acceptance of their efforts to Scouting and Guiding are a "way of life" for our boys and girls. more Scouts and Guides we have the better citizens we will have. be better citizens? The Lord Rowallan, Chief Scout of the British Commonwealth summed it up this way: "Scouting and Guiding form one of the few real hopes for a better understanding among the peoples of the world, for it is common basis on which people of all countries and creeds can meet." If Scout-Guide Week did nothing more than to emphasize and spread abroad that youthful spirit of tolerance, fellowship and friendship, it would. serve a purpose which would be felt around the world. Let's all tuke a little more interest in the Scouts and Guides. They are Canadians in the making and of a truth they are "Preparing for Tomorrow-- t'oday." Let us take that part of the Scout Promise ourselves and help thom. The Boy Scout Financial Campaign is on now and funds are required. for Local Scouting; the major undertaking being the completion of the Seout Hall on Lilla Street. This is the first direct appeal for funds that has been made in Port Perry and you are all asked to take a hand in "Preparing for Tomorrow--Today." Annual Meeting 89th ANNUAL MEETING ONTARIO PINE GROVE CEMETERY COMPANY It was' unfortunate that we picked on such a cold, stormy day for the Annual-Mecting of the Cemetery Co: There were only eight present. Mr. Christie, the President, reviewed the work that had been done on the grounds during the year. the main item being the seeding of* the new ground. and- opening. it up "for-lots. Twelve lots have been sold in this section. se - The' Auditor, Mr. R. J. Harper, re- | ported that he had found the books a funeral from a distance and for those local people wha have to wait for a funeral from a distance to come 1. And, how well they remember coming in on the train, in the days of the old "Nip and Tuck", driving from the station to-the cemetery and standing out in bitterly cold weather, then driving back to Town. It still made them shiver to think _ of it. Realizing the great need, n cheque for $100.00 was enclosed to start a chapel building fund. The annual meeting approved of the suggestion and are adding another $100. that was a legacy to the ceme- tery, so that we now have $200 as a start for a chapel fund. This chapel fund will now be open for any con- and accounts in order saying he was glad to sec that there was a surplus in the year's business, which was a good thing after having a couple of years with deficits. Total Receipts for the year $2,736.05 Total disbursements 2,436.44 Surplus covers 399.614 Mr. Bond, the superintendent. re- ported a total of 48 interments--21 men, 22 women and 5 children. This is the highest number of children for a good many years. Last year there 'was just one infant with 34 adults buried - in this cemetery. He also mentioned that the new section is laid out in two-grave lots with the -privi- lege of grouping as many as required together for a larger plot. As usual, the question of a Chapel came up for discussion. This is one thing that is very badly needed. The Board has discussed this item at each meeting for many years. They have always hoped that the surplus on the general operations of the cemetery would increase so that they would be warranted in going ahead to build a suitable Chapel. The surplus has been going the other way. - Since this Com- pany is a strictly mutual company, the plot owners.are the only shareholders and the directors are simply plot. owners who are giving their time to take care of the intervsts of the plot owners, the only funds available are the fees paid in for opening graves, care of lots, sale of lots and the in- terest on the Perpetual care invest- ments, (and interest rates have drop- ped from over 6% to around 8%). The idea of building a chapel had to be pagsed up._ : However, the question is up from a different angle now. In the closing days of 1050 a letter was received from a plotowner, telling of a great need of a chapel, especially in the winter time, both for those attending tribution, large or small, who would like to see a chapel in the cemetery. Pine Grove Cemetery is considered one of, if not the finest country cemetery in the Province. A nice chapel would complete it. i "The 1950 Board of Directors were re-elected but there is yet a vacancy. If anyone would like to serve on this Board we would be glad if you would let us know. R.

County Hog Producers Hold Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Ontario County Hog Producers' Association was held in the Township Hall, Man- chester, on Tuesday, January 30th. There were around sixty in attend: ange. - This was an all-day 'meeting with lunch being served at noon. Mr. W. IL. Tummon, sec.-manager, of Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing Board, was the guest speaker. He congratulated Ontario County for be- ing the top County in the Province in the production of Grade A hogs. Mr. Tummon laid particular stress on quality hog production. He stated that, although very little of our bacon was being exported at the present time, this was no reason for farmers to relux and let the quality of our hogs go down since Canadians were demanding top quality bacon also. - : $160 was voted to the Ontario Co. Federation of Agriculture to be divid- ed 376 for North Ontario and 376 for South Ontario. . The proposed bacon hog show to be held at Quinte Seed Fair at Blackstock, March 13 to 17, was: discussed. It was pointed out that Ontario County is eligible to show four hog carcasses from each of three townships at this show.
