Ray Turck, owner of Turck's Restau- rant, Port Hope, Chris Hagerman, owner of Criselen's Children's Shop, Port Hope, and W. H. Alley, Canadian General Manager of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, took off from Sandham's Airport in Port Hope and landed in the ice at the foot of Port Perry's Main Street in a Piper Cub. The photographs were taken during the flight and forwarded to The Star by these gentlemen. Turck, who holds a commercial license, was the pilot,, and Alley was the photo- grapher, = This visit to Port Perry cer- tainly is a good commentary on how business is done even by our own dis- trict people in this jet age. The one picture (on the left) shows Port Perry looking west from Lake Scugog with the wharf, Master Feeds, Scugog Lumber and the Memorial Arena prominent in the foreground. The other picture (right) is looking Eastward with Lake Scugog and Scu- gog Island in the background. The largest building near the centre of the picture is the United Church.

Annual Convention The 57th annual Convention of Ontario Association of Agricultural | Socicties was held at the King Ed- ward Hotel Feb. 27th and 28th. Miss Charlotte McCullough, George- town, President of the Women's Divi- enoyed her year as president, and that the success of the year had been greatly due to the work of the execu- tive, especially to our secretary Mrs. Dickinson, also to Mrs: Alex MeKin-! ney for her display of handicrafts. | Women's participation on Fair Bds.! has come a long way in the past few years. Each year the official board, consisting motly of men. is passing | on more responsibilities to the Lady Directors. Let us make sure that we are worthy of that trust and we will carry out our duties to the best of our | ability. Mrs. Brant Monture, first Presi-| dent of the Ladies Division in 1937, spoke of the first meeting with only ! eleven ladies in attendance. Mrs, Mc- | Neeley of Brooklin being one of them. ! Miss Helen MeKercher, Director | Home Economies Service Dept. of 'Agriculture, Toronto brought greet- ings from that Repartment., Miss Illla Hamilton, Russell, Dist- | rict Representative gave a summary of the distriets representatives reports | and she stated many fairs suffered | from wet cold weather.

A. C. Guelph, stated changes in home skills been the great many factors which have been affected by the basic forces reshap- | ing and remoulding our society in this fantastic and frantic 20th Century. Our parents, grandparents, and great- grandparents cach had their own in- Cdividual skills, which while not "Art", were worthy achievements and sources of deep personal pride. i Great-great-grandmother was a {great artisan just the same, in her | "own way.

Today, the super- market, the city department store, the ready mixes the electrical equipment have helped to usurp much of the home artistry which has happened to remain. The automobile, TV, radio and city movies have claimed a major part of our leisure time without giv- ing in return. any sense of personal creative achievement. In some homes today the major skill appears to he i mere matter of button pushing. Miss Frances Hucks, Supervisor of Foods and Nutrition Home Economics Service Toronto in her address stated, Home preserving competitions should he re-examined periodically in the light of changing practices. 2) The trend is away from home canning and toward home freezing, while more and more homemakers are finding it prac- tical to buy the canned or frozen pro- ducts they need, In spite of this trend there is still" widespread home canning, cupboards full of home-made Jams, jellies, marmalade, pickles and relishes from family recipes that have handed down from generation to generation. Since pres- sure-proeessing is the only method recommended for the home: canning of meats, poultry and non-acid veget- our advice would be that these should not be included in the fair competitions. Two or three varieties of canned fruit (featuring the locally important crops) canned tomatoes and, or tomato juice, one or two representative jams and jellies made been products tand perhaps two pickles--one a sweet or mustard type and one a relish, hould provide variety and quantity cnough to create general interest and make a fine display.
