For next week a programme of a literary character will be given, and as each member present on Tuesday evenâ€" ing promised to be a booster for next week, it is hoped the young people of St. Matthsw‘s will take advantage of the meetings of the A.Y.P.A. The first regular meeting of the newâ€" lyâ€"formed branch of the A.Y.P.A. of St. Matthew‘s chuuch was helid in the parish hall on Tuesday evening at 8 o‘clock. Miss Betty Sinclair, the preâ€" sident of the branch, presided for the occasion. After the formal opening and discussion of business the proâ€" gramme of the evening, which was of a social character, was participated in and greatly enjoyed by the goodly number of young people present. The rirocgramme included:â€"community singâ€" ing of many popular songs and favourâ€" ite melodies; the song entitled "Danny Boy," rendered by W. Thompson; aA recit;a.tim', "The Clingiilsy Vine,t by K. Buffin; an interesting competitive game entitled, "Dinner," was directed by Miss Coleman, and proved producâ€" tive of much fun." Last, and by no means least in its place of bringing a most successful evening to a close was the delightful repast of good things to eat, provided by the ladies. » Percy Lebrache, charged with theft of a motor car, was remanded for a week at the request of his counsel.

Studor brougnt to The Advance office a couple of exâ€" celient specimens of crab apples from a tree on the propmerty at the Studor home on Tamarack street. Last yvear the tree bore fruit but the apples fell off before they came to maturity. This year the tree is bearing good fruit anc the apples are fing speciments, showâ€" ing what can be done in the way of growing orchard fruits in this counâ€" try. So far as known this is the only appleâ€"bearing tree in town this year, though some years ago another local resident was able to raise a crop of crab apples, though later the tree was destroyed by accident. In the district, there are several farmers and settlers with crab applle trees bearing fruit. One or two settlers have also had some success with harvest apples. At New Liskeard the apples grown on the proâ€" perty of the late George Taylor became widely known. Settlers and others say there is no reason why apples shouic not be grown here. Some of them have proved this. In some cases where failâ€" ure has resulted, the reason was plainâ€" ly accident or other cause apart from climate or conditions. The weather is favourable .enough to the growth of apiple trees and no doubt they will beâ€" come more popular even in the towns. One settler near town has a young pear tree, as well as an apple tree growing in his garden, both from seed, and both thriving.

Surely when motorists from Hearst can come down to Porcupine for Sunday services then return for their weekly work there is no doubt which way the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway should be built when the route via Cochrane and Hearst is alâ€" ready such that it can be used to adâ€" vantage.

The work of makâ€" ing historic sites in the Dominion is going on increasingly from year to year, and it is possible nowadays to reach by motor car many of tfie interesting battlefield sites and other shrines of historic events. Quebec, of course, is perhaps richest of all the provinces in these reminders of the early days. Fort Chambly, on the Richelieu River, is just half an hour‘s drive from Monâ€" treal. The first fortifications were erâ€" ected in 1665 by the French under Capmsain du Chambly. After years of neglect the fort was taken over by the National Parks Board and preservation work carried on. A good motor road running south along the Richelieu brings one to the massive ruins of Fort Lennox, Ileâ€"auxâ€"Noix, fortified by the French in the 17th century. At Longueuil a tablet placed on the churen marks the site of Fort Longueuil. At Vercheres stands a beautiful bronze statute to the heroic Madeleine de Verâ€" cheres. A cairn and tablet at Sorel mark the site of Fort Richelieu. It is the same in other parts of Quebec; and in the other provinces of Canada.
