Miss Muriel Werry in the roll of a bride who was making a second adventure into the realm of matri- mony, as one bride to another, gave the bride-elect some very sound and striking advice which was supported by further words of wisdom (?) by the fictitious groom, Donald Mount- joy. Lawrence Mountjoy, Beryl Mountjoy, Noreen Hepburn and Diane Lee comprised this model wedding party. Rev. R. H. Wylie then called on Mrs. L. L. B. Hancock who read an appropriate address. A miniature clothes reel was then presented and the articles pinned on it which would be used in the various rooms where parcels were to be found containing the gifts which were beautiful and useful.

Nov. 28 (AP) --Under the impetus of more than 7,000 men's labor, the United States' largest naval air training station is rising above the sands of Flour Bluff on Corpus Christi Bay. The sum of $28,000,000 is being poured into construction of the plant, sprawling over 4,653 acres. Hangars, repair shops and run-~ ways are being finished as fast as | man's ingenuity and work will per- mit. The peak has not been reach- ed, for 10,000 men will be employed | before the job is done. Training will be inaugurated next | year. The station will be the only naval institution teaching a come plete course in flying. Eventually it will be about one third again as large as the Pensacola, Fla, sta- tion, At the rate of 300 cadets a montn, young men of the navy will enter to start a seven-months' training per- iod. Ordinarily such training would consume a year. Capt. Alva D, Bernhard, first Great War veteran and former commander of the aircraft carrier Lexington, will be in charge of the station. Bernhard expects the program to be going "full tilt" by January 1, 1942. All facilities probably will be completed by June 30 of next yea. Modern Agriculture Covers Many Sciences Dealing with scientific and indus- trial research in Canada, the 1940 | Canada Year Book says with refer- | ence 10 the Dominion Department of Agriculture that since the begin- ning of the 20th century there has been a remarkable change in the re- lation of the farmer to the scientist. The scientist has taken his critical methods to the fields; the farmer has brought his problems to the | | | laboratory. To apply the laws of science to the practices of -agricul- ture is the function of the research and experimental services of the | Department. Trained specialists are continuously at werk carrying re- search projects through various stages of analysis in the laboratory {and through testing under controll.

Finally, the products of research are tested un- der practical farming conditions throughout the areas concerned. There is no one science of agri« culture: it is made up of many sciences. The tillage and fertility of soils, the growth and protection of plants, the feeding and care of ani- mals, and the processing of farm products into human food and clothing present problems that the research worker solves by reference to the laws of a score of sciences. Because of the great diversity of effort required in reaching a prac- tical solution, research on many problems i8 not limited to any one unit of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The major part of the research work, however, is con- ducted in the Divisions of the Sci- ence Service and the Experimental Farms Service, Units of these two services are located in every pro- vince. The research work of the Department is co-ordinated with that of the agricultural colleges and the National Research Council, and there is an interchange of personnel and facilities wherever the work will be benefited.
