Boy Scout News Port Perry Scout Troop concluded their public celebration of Scout week with a church parade led by the High School Cadét Band. The Guides, Cubs and Brownies joined with them making a very fine showing of Port Perry Youth. About 136 boys and girls paraded to Church of the Ascension where Rev, K. Scott presented a splendid lesson on. think- ing, by pointing out, Scriptural in- struction in correct thinking, and some of the errors we make during mental imaturity., Such lessons. are vital to the process of character building if we would have our child- 'ren capable of accepting the respon- sibilities that the future holds for them, and to discharge their duties honourably, whether they be in the management of a household, a busi- ness, a government,.or the United Nations Assembly. Many of the parents shared in this service and will no doubt put forth an effort to help their children in the practical application of the lesson. We sincerely wish to thank Rev. Scott, Mr. Grant MacDonald, the High School Band and all those who contributed tg the success of our Scout Week celebrations in memory of the late Lord Baden Powell of Mary Lynn Hodgins, Gilwell. : Your Group Committee.

Obituary JOSEPH NOON Joseph "Noon was born in 1866 in the town of Bourne, Lincolnshire, in England, where he went to school and later worked on farms, When about 17 his attention was at- tracted to the advertised wonders of Canada. So to Canada he came, and landed at Bowmanville where he got work on Samuel Allin'sfarm. Mr. Allin having a family of sons near his own age, he was very happy there, Then he went to Mariposa where he worked on the Coldwell farms. He made a trip back to England about this time. In 1891 he married Jane Short 'of Mariposa, (who predeceased him 17 years ago), and later with his wife and family moved to the Ephriam Reader farm on Scugog Island where he resided for 8 years, He later moved to Cartwright to the | George Nesbitt farm where he lived till retirement in 1945 thep moving to the village of Nestleton, where after a brief illness he died on February 1, 1957. Mr, Noon's greatest wealth was his 'pleasant association with all the fine people who had been his neighbours and from his book of memory he often went over again the pleasant times Truly his life was cast in pleasant places in Canada. Until the last, he took an interest in world news and enjoyed the many visitors who came to see him. "He is survived by three daughters: Alma: (Mrs. Emerton); May, and Gertrude, Mrs. Gordon Collins, 13 grand children and 3s great grand- eidrep, \ rT Federation of Agriculture J regular monthly meeting of the directors ofthe South Ontario County Federation of Agriculture planned a meeting of all county mem- bers to be held in the Manchester hall on Tuesday, March 12th. The Ontario president, Lloyd Jasper and the gen- eral secretary Herh Arbuckle will be guest speakers. The meeting will start at 10,30 in the morning and will also feature agricultural opinions from 8 Ontario County Farmers with plenty of discussion from the floor after each panel and each guest speaker, The county Federation will provide coffee and doughnuts and all farm folk are asked to bring a few sandwiches, their wives and neighbours and make this an outstanding meeting. . The federation passed a motion && transfer its bank account to the Man- chester Credit Union which the fed- eration started two years ago, as soon as chequing was started by the credit union. It was agreed on motion to pay five dollars each for ten participants at the Folk School which is shortly to be held at the home of Larry Doble, at Uxbridge. New mailing lists have been re- ceived from Whitby and Reach town- ships and it is hoped that very short- ly lists will be completed for the other townships. 'CANADIAN CLUB SPEAKER Dean L. Thomson, who will be the guest speaker at the Ontario County Canadian Club, was born in Aberdeen, Scotland where he obtained his B.Sc. and M.A, from the University of Aher- deen. He obtained his doctorate de- gree in chemistry at Cambridge and continued to study in various Euro- pean centres. He was appointed Dean of the' Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research after spending some years at McGill University. He is now an honourary consulting member of the Royal Victoria Hospital and the Montreal General Hospital and a Fel- low of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Chemical Institute of Can- ada. The meeting will be held March 6, at Northminster Church Hall, eral price and wage levels continue 1300 Telephones in Port Perry More' telephones were added, more money spent on new construction, more calls handled and more money earned 'by The Bell Telephone Com- pany of Canada than ever before as it experienced the most active year in its history during 1966. According to the company's 77th annual report, the net increase of 243,408 telephones brought the total in service in the Bell's Ontario-Que- bec territory to 2,766,153. Locally, growth in telephone service parallelled this overall expansion. J. W. Lowry, Bell manager for this re- gion, said that 70 telephones were added in Port Perry during 1956, bringing the total at the end of the year to 1300. A total of $130,677,707 in wages and salaries was paid to Bell employ- ees in Ontario and Quebec last year. At the end of 1956 the company em- ployed 89,688 people, 24,066 women and 16,632 men, Expenditures for new construction totalled $139,600,000 and the comp- any, expects to spend another $176,- 000,000 on construction during 1957. In this message to shareholders, Thomas W. Eadie, president, said the continuing rise in costs has been par- tially offset by higher productivity gained through placing in service equipment which handles more calls at lower operating expense. "But, while we have been able sa far to make the existing rate structure pro- vide the kind of return it was designed to, we cannot take for granted that this situation will prevail should gen- to rise." In order to meet service obligations, the company must be able to raise the capital to finance necessary grow- th. This could be done at.reasonable cost only so long as eilrnings were healthy, the company's financial structure sound and its surplus suf- ficient to carry through a period of severe strain, "While additions to surplus in recent years have been en- couraging, the total amount of our retajned earnings is still too small in relation to the size of the business," he sald. Net income for 1956 'amounted to $2.40 a share on 14,573,427 shares, compared with $2.43 a share on 13,- 154,371 shares in 1956. - The usual dividend of $2 a share was paid from the $34,949,181 net income, and. $5,- 802,326 was added to surplus. Shareholders increased by more than: 15,000 during 1956 and now number 140,726, of whom 137,753 are residents of Canada. Only nine per cent of the shares are now owned. outside the country, including the five per cent held by the. American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Over 11,000 employees and pensioners are share- holders, with thelr holdings amount- ing to nearly eight per cent of the total stock. Junior Farmers JUNIOR FARMERS PREPARE "TALENT SHOWCASE" The Ontario County Junior Farmers are working overtime these days pre- paring their Spring Musicale, "Talent Showcase", which would now appear to be a true showcase. The noted - Junior Farmer Choir which has been honoured at Toronto, Guelph and at various functions in Ontario County will provide the main background to the show with musical numbers ranging from Handel's "Ver- dant Meadows" to "Buggy Ride" and Calypso music. With it the famous Ontario County Junior Farmer Male Quartette and Ladies' Trio which brought honour to the county by win- ning the Provincial Trophy. Besides these, there will be solos. duets, as well as the Mixed Quartette, The girls will feature in a dance and the boys in a short:minstrel show. This should provide one of the musical highlights of the year for the Uxbridge district on Friday, March 8th, in the Music Hall and for the Brooklin area on Saturday, March 9, in the Township Hall, at 8.16 p.m.' Carnival Lakeshore Skating Club are bringing a bigger and better Carnival to Port Perry on March 30th. More Later, Over 200 people gathered in the Greenbank United Church parlour for the presentation banquet in honour of Hugh Baird, Blackwater, who, last October, won the Canadian Plowman championship at the international competition held at Brooklin. A young, eager man, the champion accepted a deluge of praise from a dozen different speakers with quiet reticense and well-worded phrases of appreciation. Not accepting all the glory or credit for himself, Hugh gra- ciously paid tribute to others he had trained with and who had given him good advice and encouragement through the years he has been § in com- petition. Sidney MacDonald, assistant Agri« cultural Representative for Ontario County, read the presentation address in which he outlined the Champions long record of achievements from the time he first competed in Lindsay to the time he reached the plowman's highest goal in Canada at the Inter- national. Nor was Hugh's ability shown only on the plowing field, for as an active 4-H member he received trophies for showmanship and judging. In Junior Farmers he worked his way up to being president in 1954. In Junior Farmer sports he held the ca- veted spot of top man for four years, In music,. Mr. MacDonald related to the assembled audience, Hugh was still a foremost figure, first as a member of the local church choir, se- cond, as a member of the Junior Far- mer choir, and last but certainly not least, as a member of the Ontario Jr.' Quartette helping to win top place in the Provincial Competition at Toronto. The presentation of a camera was made to Hugh by Donald Dunkeld who was a team-mate of the champion on two occasions when they were cho- sen winners. Hugh Baird, will this year, be com- peting in the world champion compe- tition to take place in the United States. Recently Elected Mr. A. W. Brock has recently been elected a Director of the Oshawa Skeet Club and also received the posi- tion of the Vice-President of the Pro- vince of Ontario Skeet Association. Mr. Brock is also the President of the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club. Appreciation Day Winner Mrs. A. Fulford of Scugog won the draw with a 59, coupon which netted her $10.80. B. Simpson's name was called but no one was there to claim the prize. Mrs. Rose Walker received $3.00 for naming the Merchant of the Week.

Although weather conditions and driving not very favourable, the Worthy Matron, Margaret Jeffrey was very delighted to see so many on hand to honour our Past Matrons and Past Patrons. The opening ceremonies were car- ried out in'regular form by the Staff of Officers. It was pleasing to note that all past matrons of Blue Ray Chapter and all past patrons with the exception of one, were on hand for the gracious welcome from the East; they were Past Matrons Myrtle Pal- mer, Helen Colbear, Mildred Palmer, Mabel Chapman, Jeanne Dymond, Jes- sie Kspie and Margaret Cornish; Past Patrons Leonard Colbear, Elgin Hut- chinson, Dr. M. B. Dymond, and Hugh Espie. ent Chapters were also welcomed.

The Refreshment Committee, con- vened by Irene Haugen, brought the Valentine Party to a close by serving a dainty, delicious Valentine Lunch. Several Invitations have been re- ceived and accepted. The Reception In warm attire we "opened fire: a score to gain for fun and fame. With Gray and Cox retired that day, the rest went at it with swing and sway. Hayes worked hard for a score of twenty. Half as many would still have been plenty. Gracious Love bowed out with two. I think they counted wrong, don't you? Snooks ran off with seven that day, although it was even for most of the plav. Martyn's crew came out with three; what they lacked was a cup of tea. the game was tied and in the last end when Stouffer swept in a rock for' shot, right in a most crucial and dif- ficult spot. "The scoreboard stated eleven - ten; Helen had gone and done it ag'in. i In black and red the scores are written; like love, we with the game! are smitten. After four we're home- ward bound with scores our husbands J to astound, for the Grand Chapter Officers will "be held in the Royal York Hotel on the 27th of this month. Members who went to Port Hope for Starlight Chap: | ter Inspection which was held recently were: Margaret Cornish, Helen Col- bear, Mabel Chapman, Alma Reesor and [Ethel Nottingham. Correction We regret that in our account of the I'ather and Son Banquet of the Scouts and Cubs appearing in our last edition a line had dropped out which made it read that Rev. R. H. Wylie delivered an inspiring address on the life of Baden-Powell; actually Mr. Wylie did deliver an inspiving address but it was not on the life of Baden-Powell. The fine address regarding Baden-Powell wis delivered by the Field Commis- sioner Wally Harper, THAT By RALPH TEE SOME HOUSE TO.
