Bell, local issuer .of motor li- censes, who also stated that in the month of March he issued as many li- censes as he did in April, 1924. Since the roads became passable, car own- ers, both from the town and country, llafle, bfefen cogstang. tcalller at I e so icean to ae e asissue llicenses for approximately 2400 mo- `tor cars, 200 trucks and 4 motor.cy- lcles. His busiest day was on Apr._11 lwhen he issued 260 licenses, equalling ' `a record set last year for one day's `business. Mr. Bell's territory is somewhat smaller than it was last year, as the town of Orillia, which was formerly divided between Mid- Hand and Barrie, now has an issuer of ` litsown, but he believes the number; lof licenses for the year will equal {that of last year.

A} number , of young farmers were { guests but quite a few who had been 3 `invited were unable to attend owing; to seeding operations.- Geo. S. Mc-| Conkey was chairman. The speaker; of the day. was R. 'J. Rogers of New-[ market, Representative of the Dept..[ of `Agriculture in North York. Mr.] Rogers is a Sunnidale boy and is a; nephew of Thos. Rogers, Barrie. He : has been very successful in his work; in North'York, especially in promot-g ing stock judging competitions. On! Thursday he had a very successful? [affair of that kind, when 150 prizes were awarded for stock judging. Mr. ; Rogers is an easy and pleasing speak- er and his address was followed with 5 much interest. I Efforts of Kiwanians Commended In opening, Mr. Rogers commended I very highly the Kiwanis Club for the % ginterest it is showing in the risingl `generation of 'Simcoe farmers-- young men who would be" found to be of sterling quality. He felt that; lmuch benet would result from such: I intercourse. } n....1:;:..._.. .. 4.1.- .-c......... said +1-ma he Berger ; intercourse. . ,` } Conditions on the farms, said thei `speaker,- tend to create a personalityi different from those in the towns.` Much of the farm boy's work is done ~ alone and his problems solved alone. It is no wonder that such a. life is productive of individualism.l Frequently we see one farmer ind us-3 trious and eager to boost agriculture, I .while his less enterprising neighbor` linstead of co-`operating is lled with jealousy, and the man who wouldi promote agriculture is disgusted in-I stead of encouraged. } Enemies to Themselves I Do you know any class who are lgreater enemies to themselves than are the farmers? asked Mr..Rbgers. I |As long as `they lack pride in their} `work and condence in agriculture, `you will see farmers estimated below what they should be. It is up to us farmers to mould the opinions of oth- er classes towards us. The classes late interdependent. ` Business men are anxious to see the farmers pros- perous.

The baseball team won the championship in the South Simcoe Leagueuand n`- ished in second place in the O.B.A. district, while the hockey team made a strong bid for district honors. In ..addition, `church leagues were con- iducted in both baseball and hockey, which in addition to providing super- vised sport for the younger players helped to develop some promising ma- ,terial for the senior teams.

They, however, need have no such idea about British Guiana. It is a British colony with a well-ordered. government. English is the language .spoken` and the Brit- ish system of social life obtains. `Un- der the law all en -are equal, regard-3 less of class, c or or creed- All have the privileges of citizenship and pi` working out,their own destiny. Orig- inally the colony was Dutch. Then it was settled by people from the Bri- tish Isles.and later from Canada and the United States.
