That Seems Common In All Churches During At the annual Ormstown Presbyterian congregation held on Tuesday evening, Jan.30th in the church, the work of the past year was reviewed.Increased membership and a satisfactory financial position were reported, also improvement in the attendance at all church services and interest in the different phases of the work of the church.A reduction of $500 on the mortgage was reported.Special thanks were given the Ladies\u2019 Aid and the Young People\u2019s Societies for their liberal support.Three new elders were added during the year, namely Messrs, George Kilgour, Allan McDougall.James Barrington.All members of the Board of Managers were reelected with the addition of J.Ross Bryson.Cecil J.Bryson was elected secretary.Rev.E.J.White, the-min- ister

meeting of the Hinchinbrook School Fair committee was held on Thursday night at the home of the Sec.-Treas., Mrs.Watson, with Mr.R.J.M.Reid in charge.All members were present with exception of Mr.Stephen Flynn.A letter of thanks for bags of vegetables sent to Red Cross Society, Montreal, was read, and suggested that this letter be sent in turn to each school to be read to the pupils, so they may know how very much their gifts were appreciated by the Red Cross workers.There has been considerable adverse criticism for the past two change in the present system, that of allowing any child of school age the privilege of competing in garden plot competition.Mr.Reid hopes to have the necessary forms sent from Quebec at an early date, and the Secretary will get in touc with each teacher in Hinchinbroo Schools and allow the children a few days to decide just what seeds they desire to grow.To make the work of judging plots easier, it was also planned to have all plots uniform, corn, zinnias, beans, carrots and beets being the varieties chosen for this part of the work, all children not entering plot competition may have their choice of four vege- years over the younger pupils being allowed to compete in the plot competition, the objection being that they were too small to do the necessary work unaided.It is an | understood thing that each child does all the work of his own particular plot, but neither the judges nor committee are in a position to say if this ruling is not being kept.So after debating the question for sume time, the committee decided it was inadvisable to make any Howick Takes tables and one flower.It is hoped the parents will co-operate in this good work and allow the children a really good piece of garden ground and as near the house as possible, to make it easier to attend to the necessary weeding.The judges have found in past seasons that when they had to climb several fences and wade through grain fields to reach a garden, the result was not worth the trouble taken, as usually the weeds predominated.Lead in Provincial High Playdowns The Ormstown senior team played : the first of a two-game total-goals series in Howick on Friday after-; noon for the right to advance in the.Provincial High School Hockey play-downs.Howick emerged with a 3-2 decision to take a one-goal lead into the second game, to be played in Ormstown this Friday night.Boyd Campbell scored for Ormstown early in the game, but Alvin Ness evened up for Howick when his penalty shot dribbled away from W.Cavers in the Ormstown nets.Later, E.Cavers scored for Howick on a solo rush, and before \u2018fenceman's give Howick a lead which they held until five minutes from the end of \u2018the game, when Raymond Meikle's pass-out in front of the Howick nets

Held at St.John\u2019s Anglican Church on .Sunday\u2014More Contributions This Year On Sunday night the annual ser-¢ vice for the British and Foreign Bible Society was held in St.John's Anglican Church, the representative, Mr.Adams, being the special speaker.Rev.W.S.Hatcher conducted the service, assisted by Rev.J.H.Miller, D.D.and Rev.J.B.Maclean, D.D.At the conclusion a business meeting was held in the lecture room of the church when the local president, Dr.H.R.Clous- ton, took the chair.Mr.J.À.Hunter, Sec'y.-Treas.read the minutes of the last meeting which was held in St.Andrews Church, Feb.4th.1939.Contributions last year amounted to $85.01.The treasurer's report for the present year showed an advance in giving and receipts came to $129.98.A special appeal is being made in order to provide our soldiers with testaments.Every man going overseas receives a testament with this special message from the King printed in it: \u201cTo all serving in my forces by sea, or land or in the air, and indeed.to all my people engaged in the defence of the Realm.I commend the reading of this book.For centuries the Bible has been a wholesome and strengthening influence in our national life, and it behooves us in these momentous days to turn with renewed falth to this Divine source of comfort and inspiration.\u201d NUMBER OF TELEPHONES ON INCREASE A net increase of 25 was recorded in the number of telephones in Huntingdon during 1939, according to E.M.Armour, manager of \u2018The Bell Telephone Company of Canada.On December 31, last, there were 977 telephones in service here as compared with 952 on Dzcember 31, 1938.If, as some authorities contend, the number of telephones in a community is an excellent barometer of general business, it would seem that Huntingdon is continuing to progress economically.Anyone wishing to send a contribution, large or small, to this special fund, may do so through the churches, president or sec'y.-treas.The members of the executive were re-elected.A vote of thanks was given to the canvassers, who had done such excellent work.BANQUET FOR AYRSHIRE MEN Local Ayrshire breeders and their friends are cordially invited to attend the

district will be in the Federal election there is nothing very definite about the choice.From present reports the name of no other Liberal candidate is heard than that of Donald Black, the present Member in the Dominion House.It will be another two weeks before there will likely be any political action in this district.Jas.Durnin Elected Pres.H\u2019don Co-Op.Local Farmers\u2019 Society Was

St.Andrew's Church was held on Tuesday evening, January 30th.The meeting was called to order by the Minister.Rev.J.B.Maclean, D.D., at 8 o'clock, who asked Rev.J.D.Anderson, D.D., to offer prayer, Mr, John Smalill, Chairman of the Board of Managers, at the request of the meeting then took the chair, and called on the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr.Fred.K.Bruce, to read the minutes of the last annual meeting, and then to give the financial report for the year just closed.Mr.Bruce thereupon presented the most satisfactory report received in many years.He had received for all congregational purposes the sum of $4216.01 and for Missions\u2014Bud- get of the Church\u2014the sum of $829.91.He also reported that after all obligations for the year had been met, there remained a cash surplus of $831.71.The reports of the various organizations of the congregation were then submitted.On motion it was agreed that all the members of the Board be continued in office for the ensuing vear.At the close of the meeting light refreshments were served to all present.There follows below a tabulated statement of the various! amounts received through various sources, apart from the various hal- ances

Opens ONIGHT Canada's general election campaign will get under way with Prime Minister Mackenzie King speaking over a national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.On Thursday at Brockville the Ccnservative leader.Dr.Manion, will speak.From where we are standing we can not help but see some rather caustic comments forthcoming from the political leaders.As we have stated before.however, it is our hope that the election campaign does not descend to personalities nor to fighting for the political party alone.Canada will need as strong à government as possible to prosecute the war effort and this must never be lost sight of in the heat of political battie.Of the various articles we have read advising electors how to vote we have noticed no finer than one which appeared in ihe Ottawa Farm Journal as follows: The elector must ask himself the following: 1.Whether the present Government, having regard to what it has done thus far in the war.or having regard :0 what it has failed to do, or done well, or indifferentiy.or badly.is the sort of Government that should be left in office to go on with the war?9.Whether Dr.Manion.having regard to the criticisms he offers and the measures he promises including Ministers in his Cabinet regardless of policies) would be likely io wage war more resolutely and effectively than Mr.King has waged it?3.Whether.if the presen: Government is put oul and another substituted.Canada's war effort would be carried on adequately and without halt by the heads of the permanent Civil Service during the period when the new set of Ministers were posting themselves on what had been done by their predecessors, deciding on further or different measures, and finding out whether those further measures were practicable?Anti-British Magazines OME time ago the \u201cCanadian Statesman\u201d of Bowmanville condemned something we always felt existed.namely that the Liberty Magazine carried a two-faced policy.its American edition was anti-British while its Canadian edition was, of course.pro-British.In other words a general pol- jcy was not adhered to but rather one that would bring in the most dollars.An American Journal, \u201cEditor and Publisher\u201d, of New York City.had the following to say of the Statesman's editorial: \u201cA Canadian editor writes indignantly about the policy of a magazine with a large circulation on both sides of the border.In the United States, he claims, its policy is strongly anti-war and anti- British, while the edition that circulates in Canaca is violently patriotic.urging citizens of the Dominion to give their all for the Empire.We can't blame them, as a genuinely patriotic Canadian, for resenting this play for Canadian readers and dollars as hypocritical, insincere, and essentially dishonest.We can assure him that, if his complaint ig soundly based, he can let nature take its course.\u201d It is surprising to us the number of American publications that are anti-British.On the whole we believe the United States is definitely behind Great Britain but why a certain type of American magazine should be constantly de-rating the British is difficult to understand.Ome can easily see the anti-British sentiment in such magazines as LOOK, LIFE, BATURDAY EVENING POST.Some time in October \u2018Look\u2019 was banned for their definitely anti-British articles.The first time they were allowed back in Canada since that time was two weeks ago.And the swing back to pro-British in that issue was most noticeable, Could it be that this magazine also lifts its anti-British articles and pictures from its American edition and substitutes that which would be more likely to appeal to the Canadian people.It might be something for the censorship board to give more attention to.Life in the Small Town \u201cWar do you people do living in a small town?How do you ever put in time?\u201d You've heard that one from a city friend.We heard it once again the other day.So we sat down to analyze the situation.First of all we realize that to be a stranger in & large city is just about as lonesome a situation as there is; you might just about as well be alone on the desert.Even after you do get acquainted 4 Len J Ra te cA oot THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Wednesday, February 7th, 1940 the average individual finds it beyond his or her financial means to join the necessary clubs or \u201cgo places\u201d that make for having a good time in the city.Then again, there's such a high-pressure \u201cgo, £o, gO\" in the city that many are too tired to go out at night but find it necessary to rest in keeping with the daily struggle of the survival of the fittest.No, we are inclined to think that many people are just kidding themselves about enjoying busy city life.There are so many who are in various ways just existing rather than really LIVING.One need not be, but then one can be quite busy in a small town, regardless of what the city dweller might think to the contrary.We talked with a number of citizens in town recently to find out just what they did after their normal working hours.And we learned that most of them were quite busy most of the nights of the week and some of them every night of the week.What is there to do in a small town?What activities are there to make life busy and happy?Let's look over a partial list of them.In Hunting- don there are some dozen organized bridge clubs.In addition to these, many bridge or other card parties are held by friends or relatives.A card party can take up at least one night a week and in some cases more than this.Huntingdon has an unusually fine curling rink with fine club rooms where many a thoroughly enjoyable time can be had either during the day or night.Many of the curlers find time to go away to other centres to play in bonspiels and we venture to say that, on the average, they go away more than do the city curlers.In the city, generally speaking, the curlers either hold such pressing executive positions that they can not find the time to get away from business or else they are employed by a firm from which they hesitate to ask for the time off to go away for a few days to curl.In the city an annual fee of $50 and expensive extras attached make the sport prohibitive to many who would like to join, whereas if they lived in a town they would pay.as in Huntingdon, the sum of $5 for the first season while in the third season and thereon the sum of $10.There's your fraternal orders which can demand your attention in a town at least one night a month, and in some cases many more.Amongst these are the Masonic Order, the Knights of Columbus, the Oddfellows.Your church organizations are responsible for many nights.There are many women's organizations such as the Woman's Missionary Society, the Women's Auxiliary.the Ladies of Ste.Anne, the Children of Mary, etc, etc.Every church has its young people's society and then there are the Trail Rangers, the Boy Scouts, the Y Society, which is a non-denominational group, and a host of others which take up many nights.There's your skating rink open three or four nights a week for skating.And in this connection we might point out that on Wednesday night a skating party for old timers was held.a luxury which does not seem to be indulged in on the same scale in the cities.For those interested in singing there's the Hun- tingdon Choral Society practising two nights a week at present in preparation for the Quebec Musical Festival competition.Church choirs have practises once a week.The Huntingdon Badminton Club is open every night of the week for its members and friends.Not only are there the latest in picture shows at the local theatre every night but two each week.but there are also shows to be seen at Malone.Chateaugay or at Valleyfield.Then.Montreal is but forty-eight miles distant should one care to drop in to see an opera or musical comedy.Throughout the countryside there are amateur plays put on surprisingly well hy home-brewed talent.In Huntingdon there is plenty of hockev.Much fun is created by a Town League which operates two nights a week.One night a week here the local entry in the Valleyfield City and District League performs.Only eighteen miles away is Val- leyfield where the stars of the Provincial League display their wares several times a week.A few miles away inexpensive skiing can be enjoyed.The Log Lodge and the Huntingdon Chateau provide places where the voung people can dine and dance nightly if they desire.There are numerous town council meetings, committee meetings, School Commission meetings and such like to take up many a man's evenings.In the summer time the small town really has its big innings.Just to be there rather than in the warm, stifling city is enough in itself.But in addition to this there are all the joys or readily accessible swimming and picnicing grounds.There are plenty of softball games to attend with town league or district league.There are good tennis courts and a fine bowling green.A glance over the coming events in the Hunting Gleaner each week gives one a good idea of the numerous things that are taking place.Yet one hears, \u201cWhat do you people do living in a small town?\" There's plenty to do in a small town if one wants to do it and if a city resident became actively interested in the many forms of activities that are at his or her disposal we'll wager that it would keep them so busy that there would be no time whatever left to even think about what a tough break life has handed them, or something.\u201cWhat do you people do living in a small town?\u201d Next time you hear that kind of supercilious telk open up with both barrels and convince the city speaker they're just kidding themselves but not others.Although we have had Huntingdon in mind when writing the answer to this question all the other towns are alike.Canada\u2019s Many Crops N the first world war Canada was a house with one main prop \u2014 wheat.It was a sound prop and it strongly supported the Empire as well as the Dominion.We are fortunate to have that wheat prop today, but in a quarter century we have also developed other supports for our economy.As an indication of the increase in our manufacturing, more than half the population is now urban, according to the 1939 report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, We are known the world over for the progress of our mining.This year we are producing eight and a half million barrels of oil.- Oanada is no longer à house with only one prop.It is a house supported by many industries, All of them may be fully needed before this war is over, It is part of our job on behuu of civilization to keep them ail strong.© | \\ \\

Another Two Weeks\u2014 Prime Minister and Cabinet Not to Make Extensive Speaking Tours Party headquarters are donning their armor and marshalling their forces for the war of ballots on March 26th.Since the abrupt dissolution of parliament to give way to a new election to be held within the minimum statutory period, the political events of interest have been the explanations from the Prime Minister of his action, a manifesto issued by the C.C.F.party condemning Mr.King\u2019s action as arbitrary and the \u201cnegation of democracy\u201d, having prevented discussion in parliament of the government's conduct of the war, and criticism from Dr.Manion, the Conservative leader of the government's \u201cunfair and impulsive\u201d dissolution of parliament.In addition, Dr.Manion has levelled bitter attacks on the Minister of National Defence, Mr.Rogers, a point of sharp criticism being the alleged lack of proper clothing for British Columbis units of the overseas force, Answering the charge Mr.Rogers referred to reports of Ordnance officers that all members of the British Columbia units had woollen underwear, battle dress and army coats.General attacks on himself and his

Mrs.Wilbur Clark.33-vear-old housewife.of Warren.N.H., will have two jobs on her hands\u2014caring for her husban and four children and preserving law and order in the community of Warren.Mrs.Clark has been elected police chief of the community of 600 persons, and she is the only woman police chief in New England.Mrs.i Clark has been nominated by i friends \u201cin fun\u201d for years, but this \u2018year the nomination became a seri- | ous matter.She was elected in pre- i ference to the other candidate.a man.She took office immediately and issued this statement: \u201cI am greatly interested in police affairs and desire very much to maintain law and order in our little commun- itv.I'm dead-set against the illegal selling of liquor.and I don't believe rin gambling.My husband

been dealt them in this game of life, than one usually hears among people who are in immeasurably better circumstances.They are not bitter; theirs is not a warped philosophy of life, but rather a well-balanced and a wholesome one\u2014inspiringly so.Among these people most of whom came from the east originally, many from the Chateauguay Valley, there is one old lady in her ninetieth ear.Away back in the days before the war when that surging tide of humanity poured into the Canadian west, she left her home in Fertile Creek.Today not only is she so spry and capable as to be able to live alone in her own little home, which is the essence of neatness and cosiness, but she has the most warming and sparkling sense of humour that it has been my good fortune to run across in many a day.\u201cYes,\u201d I said, when talking of the changes back east, \u201cmany of the old country schools are thriving community clubs .\u201d, and with reference to the one in Fertile Creek, added, \u201cthey have it all fitted out with electric lights now.\u201d \u201cIs that 80?\u201d she said in surprise, and then in a manner as coy as a teen-age, she turned to a friend sitting nearby.and with a merry chuckle that rang as true as a bell, added \u201c.and just think, we can't afford them!\u201d Such is that sense of humour which lightens the load of life.that indomitable courage which lingers as strongly now despite her ninety years, to epitomize the spirit of the west.So many times during the last ten days I could not help but think how much poorer Canadianism should be without it.Another spring is coming; these people will turn their backs on what the last ten years has brought them, and sow their crops for the future harvest.Truly indeed, hope springs eternal in the human breast.And as long as we have in Canada, people in whom that spirit lives, we Hinchinbrooke Council A regular session of the Municipal Council of the Township of Hinchinbrook was held in the Town
