Near Powerscourt Students of natural history would be well repaid by taking a trip along the Powers- court Road to see the beaver dams being made in the Chateauguay River.One quite large dam is being constructed just opposite the home of John Dorais, while a series of smaller ones are being made a little further south.It is extremely difficult to glimpse the beavers at work, they being one of the shyest of animals, but evidences of their skill in cutting down trees and making dams are quite easily seen.The beaver is one of the most ingenious and energetic of animal workers.The beavers had not been particularly noticed in the Powerscourt area until about two years ago.when some of the hunters there started to trap them.This fact came to the notice of the Provincial Government when they placed a year round closed season on Canada\u2019s national emblem.Since then the colony has propagated considerably and there are now said to be hundreds of them at Powerscourt.Bowling Club To Hold

The Valleyfield Basketball League opened its schedule on Monday, Oct.21 when Honorary President Rev.Father Hebert opened the game be-, tween the Garde Champlain and the Scouts \u201cA\u201d squad.The Scouts went into the lead after five minutes of play in the first half and held the advantage of one point at the half-way mark.With the score at 8-7 the Gardes opened the second half by scoring right after fhe whistle but the advantage was short lived as the Scouts netted twice and had the Gardes on the run.At this point Howarth fouled Leduc and the two shots resulted in two points.Another foul shot tied the score but the Scouts went ahead with two field goals while the Gardes tcored one.With only forty-five seconds to play Eddie Burgess broke loose for the first time in the night's play and tied the count forcing the game into overtime.Both teams went into the extra at top speed but neither outfit could score until Leduc scored the winning goal with only three seconds to go.making the final count 18-16 for Garde Champlain.Jean Paul Leduc led the Gardes in scoring while Harold Anderson was easily the best of the Scouts.The , Tourist Club were just too strong for the \u2018\u201cB\u201d squad and had things pretty much their own way during the first half which ended 15-1 in their favor.The \u201cB\"\u201d squad got over their stage fright in the second half and settled down to make things hard for the Tourists.With Ray Marshall leading the attack the Scouts made the game more interesting but the Tourists had too much of an edge and the game ended 26-13.Side

a supper at their home with four of their six daughters, together with their husbands and their two sons, with their wives in attendance.M.J.Wallace.son-in-law, husband of their eldest daughter, who died two years ago, together with nineteen grandchildren were also present.The bride, who was becomingly attired in a gown of navy blue crepe prettily trimmed, and the groom of fifty years occupied the seats of honour at the wedding table that had been appropriately decorated with potted plants and cut flowers and centered with a three-tier wedding cake that had been decorated in gold and white.The year 1885 was featured on it and signified the wedding year of Miss Kate Edwards.who was born in Franklin Centre.Que., and T.E.Graves.who was born in Champlain, New York, the marriage having taken place at Franklin.On the table, many dishes and souvenirs of the wedding in 1885 that are treasured by Mrs.Graves, were used.A second table was prettily arranged for the grandchildren.Although Mr.and Mrs.Graves have been married fifty years.they are not an old couple.being 72 and 69 respectively.Both are well and still much interested in carrying on their respective duties.Mr.Graves, busy

Pontiac, Establishing Record Was Bred By W.L.Carr | | Production 155,608 Pounds Milk 1 Dairy cattle breeders in the District of Beauharnois will be interested to know that a life time champion has been bred and developed in this locality.To Mr.W.L.Carr, prominent Holstein breeder, belongs the credit of breeding and developing the cow.Peerless Posch Pontiac, No.100771, that has completed a life time record of 155.608 Ibs.milk and 5,109 lbs.butter fat.Upon information supplied by Mr.C.S.Wood, Chief Inspector of the R.O.P.Division, Ottawa, Mr.G.M.Clemons, Secretary of the Hol- stein-Friesian Association of Canada states \"Peerless Posch Pontiac has the greatest life time total of both milk and fat on twice-a-day milking of any cow in Canada.\u201d Production records exceeding 150,- 000 lbs.have been attained by ouly four other Canadian Holsteins, and all four cows were milked oftener than twice-a-day.\u201cPuerless\u201d is well ahead of her nearest Holstein competitor in the twice-a-day milking, with a lead of 43,640 lbs.miik and 1,- 364 lbs.fat.She was milked and tested for eleven consecutive lactations, finishing on April 13th, 1935, at the age of sixteen years, and still going strong with over thirty pounds a day.The trend in R.O.P.testing has been for the past few years definitely towards the twice-a-day records in order to affix and emphasize the real value of good dairy cows, namely, longtime, consistent production under normal conditions of feeding, care and milking.It is gratifying that the District of Beauharnois, with a distinguished record for leadership in dairying, should once again demonstrate supremacy in meeting up-to-date requirements in first class dairy cows.\u201cPeerless did not receive any extra care or attention.She was never in a box stall more than two or three days at a time; and rarely had grain in addition to pasture, though she has gone to pasture regularly with the herd,\u201d said Mr.Carr, in discuss- ing this record.\u201cShe always had, however, all the roughage she wanted and in winter a fair grain ration regulated on the basis of economical production of mulk.\u201d She was the first cow entered in the Record of Performance by her owner and the fact that she has an outstanding record indicates that his cows were on test continuously since 1922.\u2018This definite policy of R.O.P.testing, persistently followed, has been profitable.All heifer calves from this cow were retained in the herd and there are now at Brackenglade 14 females descendants of Peerless Posch Pontiac and 23 descendants of her dam Midget Peerless.The four male calves were sold when young for herd sires and brought the sum of $610.00.Her fetime production of milk as sold at the price current from time to time of milk sold off the farm brought a total of over $2550.00.The offspring from this cow have also been quite successful in the R.O.P.and in the show ring.A granddaughter, Peerless Blanche Keith, was third at the Royal in a class of twenty-six.\u201cIt has often been remarked by experienced breeders that a good cow is never an accident, and this cow is no exception to the rule,\u201d said Mr.Carr in giving an outline of the history behind this record.Her sire, Manor Korndye Segis No.28508, with three qualified daughters and one proven son, was thie son of King Segis Pontiac Posch No.16627, with 15 qualified daughters, 6 proven sons; he the son of King Segis Pontiac Al- cartra, grandson of the famous King Segis.This breeding Is combined with several outstanding matrons in the extended pedigree.Her dam, Midget Peerless No.43329, was a worthy representative of a great family.The real excellence of this cow and her fnrebears is not recognized because Ler production was never recorded.A daughter, Mercedes Peerless, was the dam of (Continued on page 5) -o | The Week There was genuine pleasure and satisfaction in Liberal circles when the new cabinet was announced.It was felt that the governement was to be congratulated on having been able to gather together such a capable and promising ministry.Ther» was also, a feeling that Mackenzie King, in his first major trial, had come out triumphantly.He showed, in his selections, both wisdom and courage, it was felt: both as to those he took in, and those he left out.The spirit of willingness to mould the system to meet the needs of the day was evident.The tradition that all provinces must necessarily be represented, even if the general level of the cabinet be lowered thereby, was ignored.The cabinet was condensed, in fact, so as to increase its concentration and mobility.The decision to adopt a system of under-secre- taries which has served well in Britain was also applauded.If it serves to free the major portfolios from a welter of routine and petty detail, leaving the ministers better able to cope with broad lines of policy in these grave days of depression it will, one ventures to think, prove to be a valuable addition.The success of Premier Mackenzie King in persuading Hon.Charles Dunning to come into the cabinet as Minister of Finance was, it is felt ge- erally.a master-stroke.It shows a number of things; the spirit of public service in Mr.Dunning, the confidence in the King Government displayed by the new minister, the determination of the prime minister to leave no stone unturned in grappling with the problems of the day.Mr.Dunning has impressed those who deal with him as a man of rare capacity and integrity: and there was no one in the political world whom Mr.King could have secured so likely to win the confidence of the people generally.He is acceptable to the big i: terests; and at the same time he enjoys the respect of the masses of the people.He is a low tariff man and yet is sufficiently familiar with the processes of commerce to refrain fiom taking action calculated to destroy or unsettle industry.There are other notable choices.The selection of Hon C.D.Howe in one sense is a gamble: he has had no political experience.But he comes as a brilliant engineer, and as a successful business man; and in one sense at least it is a distinct advantage to have over the railways department a man who has never dabbled much in the purely political field.The less politics enters into the railway problem the better.The choice of J.L.Ilsley as Minister of National Revenue is a rather daring stroke also, quite justified by Mr.Ilsley's performance to date.Prime]Minister Shows Both Courage And Vision In Selection Of Capable And Promising Cabinet By Wilfrid{Eggleston at Ottawa The portfolio is among the heaviest of all in administrative character and the fact that it was given to a man of 41 is a tribute to Mr.King's vision.It is, also, a diplomatic stroke that the post which governs to a considerable extent the height of the tariff folio went to one associated mostly with the West.This alone will help to convince many people that the \u2018Liberal party was in earnest when it proposed to lower tariff walls and give business a chance to flow more between Canada and other countries.Hon.J.E.Michaud, of New Brunswick, has had a long and quite distinguished parliamentary career in his own province; and he has struck the Commons as being a man of considerable capacity.The Quebec men are already tried and proven: the addition of Major Chubby Power adds a younger colleague of notable vigor and ability.Professor Norman Rogers is a brilliant economist and scholar; and it is a tribute to him that he has been given a post which will demand very heavy and able service during the depression.He was Mr.King's private secretary for a while; and it is likely that he will more than measure up to expectations.His background is quite similar Lo that of the prime minister who was, it is recalled.the first deputy minister of labor and the first minister too.Hon.W.D.Euler takes to Trade and Commerce, a portfolio which in view of the Liberal program of stimulating trade is of especial importance, a fine record of integrity and capacity: and there will be unlimited scope for his business outlook and administrative genius in the development of new trade contracts with other countries as well as the encouragement of business at home.Appointment of Premier James G.Gardiner of Saskatchewan as Minister of Agriculture in the Dominion Government was announced Monday by Prime Minister Mackenzie King.After consultation with his followers Saturday Premier Gardiner wired the Prime Minister that his acceptance of the portfolio has been unanimously approved.For many years Saskatchewan has provided a federal Minister of Agriculture.During the last Liberal regime the Minister was Hon.W.R.Motherwell, of Melville, and throughout the term of the Bennett Government fhe Agriculture portfolio was held by Hon.Robert Weir, of Melfort.The average age of the new King cabinet is 52.The average age of the Bennett cabinet in 1934.before the reorganization began, was 61.This indicates the stress being placed on youth.The oldest member of the new cabinet is 63; and there are six men in the forties.Presbyterian Pastor REV.ALEX.NIMMO

but selects Mr.Dunning.No one is questioning the ability of Mr.Dunning or the wisdom of the Premier in selecting him.but first of all Mr.Dunning must represent a constituency.Chateauguay-Huntingdon is regarded as an Eng- lish-speaking constituency of Quebec Province and this province is expected to have an English-Protes- tant Cabinet Minister.This is where Mr.Dunning is to fit into the cabinet picture.It is quite possible that Mr.Dunning has never set foot in the constituency up to this moment.although just as well known to the people at large residing here as in many other parts of Canada.So if Mr.King must find a seat for Mr.Dunning his eyes might just as well look to this riding as anywhere else.The unfortunate part of it for Premier King and also for the elected member of whatever constituency is settled upon, is that Mr.Dunning had not appealed to some constituency as a candidate for the election on October 14.Had he done so, and even failed to have been elected, it would have appeared as a much more worthy deed for an elected member, when he vacates his seat and makes an open constituency for the Finance Minister to contest.Mr.Donald Black has, literally speaking.been \u201cput on the spot\u201d in regards to providing the vacant constituency for the Hon.Charles A.Dunning to contest.Mr.Black no doubt would enjoy spending a few years in parliament after having won the constituency back from the Conservative party.Mr.Black was just as sincere a candidate as ever appealed to this constituency for election.Mr.Black has a problem to settle, and he himself alone can justly render the decision.The question is, \u201cWill I vacate my seat in Parliament with a view to creating a vacancy in which Mr.Dunning will be privileged to contest?\u201d Mr.Black may feel he would be breaking faith with the electorate if he resigns; then again he can say I am breaking faith with Canada, the Liberal party and Premier King if I don\u2019t resign.The Province of Quebec is entitled to Protestant representation in the Cabinet, and this can be made possible if Chateauguay-Huntingdon is thrown open.That's an angle of the situation Mr.Black himself should alone decide.The electorate have voted him to office and entrusted themselves to his wisdom to do the best for Canada during the reign of the Liberal party elected on October 14.Mr.Black need not call any meeting of delegates to get their opinion on this matter, for their opinions might possibly be biased or somewhat inconsiderate.The electorate need not feel sorrowful for the predicament in which Mr.Donald E.Black now finds himself.Donald is quite capable of taking care of himself, the constituency, and the welfare of Canada as far as his power goes.The only questionable part of the proposition is that Premier King does not know the qualifications of our elected member sufficiently well to place a value on him as a member.Mr.Black has proved himself a.worthy farmer, a shrewd business man who knows when and how to buy, and sell for a profit.Canada certainly needs a flock of such men if we are to liquidate our debts.Squandering politicians are a detriment to Canada, and without question Mr.Black was elected to parliament with smaller expenditures for the operation of an election than has been the history of this constituency in the past.Certainly a lesson he might well teach other members of parliament so that in the elections to come they will at least be more honestly contested.Perhaps before this appears in print more definite news will be made available re Mr.Dunning and the constituency he will contest, wherever it may be.If it is to be Chateauguay-Huntingdon he will be the fourth Finance Minister to contest Huntingdon.The first Finance Minister of Canada was Sir John Rose, (Conservative); the late Hon.James A.Robb was Premier King's Finance Minister, and then in 1929 the Hon.Gordon Scott, (Liberal) unsuccessfully contested this seat; and had he been elected would have been the Province of Quebec treasurer.If the Hon.Mr.Dunning is to contest this riding it is to be hoped, for the welfare of Canada that he will be given his mandate.or if an election is called it will be fairly and honestly contested.If Mr.Dunning is made the representative of this constituency the electorate can rest assured they will have a warm friend in Donald Black who will undoubtedly be the right bower of Mr.Dunning as far -as this constituency is concerned.The Chateauguay-Huntingdon Vote NALYSIS of the vote in the Chateauguay-Hun- tingdon constituency shows of a 13,756 possible voters 11,163 voters went to the polls, or 2593 chose not to take advantage of the franchise.Allowing that through advanced age, sickness or infirmities, 10; of the voters were unable to go to the polls, that still leaves 1217 persons who chose to remain at home.In making the official count 115 ballots were rejected by the returning-officer.Apart from the 1217 who did not vote a large percentage was disenfranchised due to the fact that their names did not appear on the voters\u2019 lists.It should not necessarily be left to a political organization to see to it that names of eligible voters be placed on the lists.True, it is.that it is to their benefit but it should be the duty of every man to assure himself of a voice in the government of his country when that privilege has been accorded him by law.It is nobody's fault more than his own if any person's name does not appear on the lists.In the choice of persons to make this list governments should pick men who will do their best to get all the names listed.In Dundee municipality 27'2%: of the people on the list did not vote.There is no doubt but that the popularity of the C.C.F.political thought there had something to do with people staying at home.Other non-voters recorded\u2014St.Anicet Parish 17% 9%: Godmanchester 20% 9;
