2\u2014the buying of school supplies in large quantities; 3\u2014the abolition of small school houses; 4\u2014representa- tions to the government for help from an entire county would be more likely\u2019 to produce results than those from a small local school board.School Honored Dr.Rothney was the next speaker.He complimented the citizens of Huntingdon County who had been responsible for the erection of the new modern school, As a former principal of Huntingdon High School, he greeted his former students in the audience.At the Cross Roads Dr.Rothney introduced his subject by saying that \u201cwe are at the cross-roads in the matter of education and would either adopt the new or perish with the old.\u201d He said that the instruction of thirty years ago was in no way adequate to meet the needs of the people of this present day.He spoke of the stupidity of statesmen that has been largely responsible for plunging the world into the present inferno.He believed that the new system would train this present group of students to produce a society that would make HOWICK PARISH, VILLAGE ELECTION RESULTS ISSUED The following are the results of the municipal elections for the parish of Tres St.Sacrement and Howick Village.The retiring Councillors of Parish of Tres St.Sacrement were: Robert Anderson replaced by James T.Stewart.Jos.Vallée replaced by Laurent Bergevin.Albert MacFarlane was Te- elected.Howick Village retiring Councillors: Wallace Logan was re-elected.Sydney Stewart was re-elected.John MacRae was replaced by Roy Carson.Thos.T.Gebble was the presiding officer at the election.Ormstown Curlers Hold Que.Trophy Skip Rinks to Victory \u2014 A.Soucy, W.McGerrigle Against Heather Heather curlers failed in their bid Wednesday night to wrest the Quebec Challenge Cup from Ormstown rinks on the latter's ice In a two-game series.The present holders of the trophy emerged victors in a close and interesting match by a four-shot margin, 38-34, by taking both games.Skips To The Fore A.Soucy\u2019s home four downed Jack McKee\u2019s side, 22-20, while WwW.G.McGerrigle's combination outscored A.G.Cameron's quartette, 16-14, Meet Aubrey Ormstown, who won the cup from Royal Montreal recently in the first challenge match of the season, will next play Aubrey.Ste.Anne de Bellevue follows as the next challenger.Thistle will then be the next local club in line to challenge the defenders, the Fort street club being ranked seventh on the challenging list.Three challenges have already been accounted or.AT ORMSTOWN Quebec Challenge Cup future war impossible.Dr.Roth-| Ormstown Heather ney pointed out that the County |T, Offord D.F.Wood Central School Boards system Dr.Stalker A.D, Newell was twenty-three years old iN|R.E.Meikle G.A.Wood Europe and that it had been ex- |W.McGerrigle A.K.Cameron perimented with in all British (Skip)\u201416 (Skip) \u201414 countries including all Provinces G.Cartier H.B.Hyman in the Dominion of Canada ex- H, Kearney Dr.Edmison cept the Province of Quebec.Dr.J.W.Mills W.E.Markham Wherever the system was in|aA.Soucy Jack McKee practice the enrolment had (Skip)\u201422 (Skip) \u201420 doubled and in no place did the Total \u201438 Total\u201434 rate of taxation exceed ten mills._ No county had ever gone bac to the smaller school system, the FINANCIAL REPORT speaker concluded.IS PRESENTED AT A Resolution The chairman, Mr.Robb,| GODMANCHESTER called for a resolution in favor of the principle of the act without specific reference to Hun- tingdon County.Favor Idea It was moved by Rev.W.S.Hatcher, seconded by Mr.John Brown, of Elgin, that the meeting go on record as being in favor of the principles of the system.A standing vote was taken.It resulted in a substantial majority in favor of these principles.Local Opposition It seemed the opposition locally to the act was due to the fact that there might be an increase in taxation.Dr.Rothney, however, claimed that there was every reason to believe the tax would be substantially low because of definite economies in the larger unit idea.With regard to lessening the power of local school boards, the act clearly states that in the case of high schools their duties would remain the same as under the older system, It was made quite clear that this would never be adopted in the county until a thorough survey of conditions was made by educational and financial experts.It was the intention of the Protestant Committee to be fair to all concerned before recommending its adoption in any character.The Acts The Act respecting Protestant Central School Boards reads In part as follows:\u2014 Whereas the Protestant Com- mitee of the Council of Education has recommended that it is advisable to constitute county central school boards in the areas of the Province most populated by Protestants in order that greater benefits shall accrue to Protestant education;

Seek To Improve Their Methods War Has Struck at Two Strong Shafts in Youth Aims Increased youth problems as a result of the war are to be countered by a new technique on the art of Protestant teachers of he province who have just received a new publication from the youth problems\u2019 committee of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers.Heads Committee This committee of teachers, headed by John A.B.McLeish, of the Gault Institute, Valley- field, Que.maintains that \u201cthe war has struck at two of the strong shafts to which youth clings in its climb toward the sunlight of the good life: a feeling of security, and a knowledge of real values.\u201cBroken homes, disproportionately high wages to later teenage children reared at first on depression standards, a feeling that war means a dead end to cherished ambitions, the genera] unsettlement caused by international fear and conflict, the nervous strain on adults reflecting itself in child training; these are only some of the factors following in the war's wake,\u201d the news bulletin of the committee points out.The committee plans to meet the new onset of youth problems through the establishment of a \u201cyouth problems forum,\u201d where typical problem cases will be discussed, and through the establishment of \u201ca permanent sub-committee,\u201d which will provide teachers and principals with infdrmation

About 750,000 Gallons\u2014Demand is Met in All Sections + After hearing hundreds of complaints, threats, protests and teie- phone calls during the past twenty- four months, the members of the Huntingdon Town Council and especially the chairman of the water commitlee and the other members of the committee can now lean back and look with pride and justification to tho imposing structure which was completed in the west end of the Town of Hunting- don.Yes, Huntingdonians have now one of the most complete and modern filtration plants in the Province of Quebec for a town of (la size.Residents looked to the year 1943 with more anticipallon than 1941.They were assured last year by the administrative members of the town that they would be supplied with adequate water facilities and the Council has kept its word.Bus this was not accomplished without large expenditures and worries.| Huntingdon has just spent more than $100,000.to meet the serious water shortage which has prevailed here during the entire year of 1941 and part of 1940.Perfect Operation The members of the Huntingdon Town Council and especially the mombers of the water committee heard so many complaints last year that even now it seems unusual that some ratepayer or other should not send à general alarm for moro and more water.True, the situation is not as yet 100% but with the arrival and Installation of metal troughs, this modern water system should be in perfect operation.Large Supply on Hand At no time during the past year did the members hesitate to declare that the water shortage in Hun- tingdon was serious.All possible local resources were attempted to rectify and remedy the situation but this was not good enough.After investigations the engineer from the Provincial Board of Mealth decreed that Huntingdon would necessarily have to enlarge its filtra- ton plant if it hoped to supply auf- ficient water for domestic and commercial use.Nearly Two Million Gallons Used at Barracks in December Commenting on the reason for this expenditure, Ald.James BB.Barrett, chalrman of the water committee, stated that the estabe lishment of a training centre in Huntingdon Itsed warranted the enlargement of the fliter plant.Taking into consideration the amount of water consumed at the Chateauguay Military (Basic) Training Centre No.41 at Hunting- don during the month of December 1941 alone, when 1,914,800 gallons of water were used, citizens can readily understand that this extension was sorely needed.It is pointed out that the consumption of water at the Barracks was as much as the filter plant could ture rish with the present equipment, let, alone supplying the demands of the citizens of the Town of Hun- tingdon, trains and industry.Industries Need Much Water The establishment of four industries, the Huntingdon Woollen Mills, Spinners Limited, Fry-Cad- bury and Fawcett & Grant Ltd.in addition of JI£zach Textiles Ltd, also meant that the town had ta furnish them with a\u201dcertain quantity of water M they wished to keep these industries within our midst.Athough Spinners Limited and Fawcett & Grant do not consume much water, Huntingdon Woollen Mills and Fry-Cadbury use large quantities of it for dyeing processes and condensation.The Huntingdon Woollen Mills are re- .ported to be using about 65,000 gale |lons of water daily.Besides ths industries many new homes have been erected here since war broke out in 1939, New and Old Buildings in Use The new filter plant is on the same location as the old one which was erected in 1925.The addition is somewhat larger than the old structure.Both buildings, which are adjoining, will be in use continuous y.Work on the addition was startea early in the summer of 1941 and was completed during the early part of December.Good Water Commenting on water improve ments here, Ald.Barrett stated Huntingdonians are supplied with exceptionally good and sanitary be rat a rate as low = o in any part of Province of Quebec.First Steam System Mr.George Munro, who has been in the employ of the Town of Hune tngdon since 1925 at the filter plant, recalled à few days ago that some time in the neighbourhood of 1804-05, Huntingdon built ite first water system which was operated by steam.It served the purpose until 1925 when government offi.clals condemned the system as being inadequate and dangerous to the consumers, The engineers then recommended that Huntingdon (Continued on page 4) Page Two The Huntingdon Gleaner Published by The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.ADAM L.SELLAR, President and Editor, Huntingdon,

is one of the essentials for any community.The depression years that hit Canada, struck western Canada in a double-barreled manner as a very considerable portion of the prairie lands irom the Chateauguay River.This source of water supply was tapped back in 1894-95 when ~¢ after the war, but let us not lose sight of this eventual desirable augmentation to our town water works system, and when that building day arrives let us install water mains and sewers of sufficient size to take care of growth that might naturally be expected in the years to come.Justifiable bonded indebtedness will never kill us, especially when it is for such a necessary thing for health as is water.Water likewise protects our homes from possible destruction by fire, provided it is avallable at the psychological moment and in sufficient volume, and sufficient volume can only be obtained from large water mains that can stand the strain of pressure.Water Rates ITH the installation of the new water filtration plant and the installation of some additional water mains, the Town Council has given consideration to the matter of increasing financial returns for water service.A by-law levying new rates was passed in December.The rates in general were raised from $12.50 to $16.25, less a 10% cash discount if water tax were paid before January 15th.This increase in water tax does not appear to be out of the way when one considers the service accorded.Naturally the Town Council wants to do what is right by the citizens as a whole, and with what people in the Corporation of Hun- tingdon pay.The people in Godmanchester THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER viding his health permits.Mr.Ness is no longer g young man, but he manages to keep his mind keen and along lines that are of particular Interest to the youth of to-day.No doubt his family of sons, all interested in sports, have tended to maintain his interest in young people and sports.Agriculturally, R.R.Ness went into farming a little over fifty years ago.For capital he had $600 and started out with a 94-acre farm.He \u2018used good sense in persevering against obstacles that confronted him and never yielded in his efforts until as commendable achievements as possible were attained.In his early years of more advanced farming he aimed to win the silver and gold medals - for all round good farming, and such awards he duly received.He imparted to his four sons excellent farm practices upon which he founded \u201cBurnside\u201d and they in their due turn have rated, extended this agricultural spirit of progressiveness to a point that to-day, the Ness farms represent some 1,000 acres in the Howick area, stocked with 300 head of Ayrshire cattle, Ness and Sons have been livestock showmen of distinction and the laurels they have brought to Burnside, the Chateauguay Valley and Quebec Province, could not pass unheeded.Mr.Ness has long been a member of the Quebec Farm Loan Board, President of the Quebec Council of Agriculture, President of Ormstown Show, and an almost innumerable number of other agricultural associations at one time or another.His judgment on all agricultural matters has always been highly The healing of the world No doubt there are many agriculturists in this Province who could merit the appointment as Member of the Legislative Council, but the naming of R.R.Ness to this post, representing the seat for Ankerman, does honour to one who has done much in the past \u2018for agriculture.We all sincerely hope health will not prevent his continuing the good work.Hon.Frank L.Connors, Hon.Gordon Hyde of Montreal and Jules Brillant, Rimouski, were also appointed members of the Legislative Council at the same time as the announcement was made by Premier Godbout that Mr.Ness was so appointed.Wednesday, January 21st, 1942 SEA AT IR AEA A NEAR ARS ARES FES EEE On the eve of the opening of the new session of parliament there Is naturally much rumor and surmise on the Government's

capacity and that water will have sufficient time to be processed from a staie of raw river water to that of a clear glass of water to appear on the dinner table, free of impurities and absent from chemical tastes.This will be relished by all users, for of late years the chemical taste of our town water has often been objectionable, especially during the winter and spring mon:shs.In the early part of the present century Hun.ingdon had a population of a.most 1,000 people; our neighbouring village of Ormstown had a couple, of hundred fewer citizens.The two vil.ages rivaled one another in trade, sports, aggressive movemenis and what not else.Huntingdon has stepped ahead by leaps and bounds, for w-day we find it has over 2,600 of a popu.ation, apart from the barracks, and we fully believe the water facilities Hun- tingdon has had to offer played a part in bringing about this development.At the present moment Ormstown is creating an auxiliary source of water supply and we honestly believe that communiiy cannot be he.d back from increasing in popularity and expansion when ius water suppiy is guaranteed as to volume.Ormstown has always enjoyed having water of excellent quality.With the two towns now abou: ready to guarantee an almost unlimited amount of excellent water to ail comers, we might well consider this the log:cal and appropr:ate time for the citizens of both communiies to get together in a Board of Trade effort and induce more industrial expansion in the Chateauguay Valley.Much space is devoied in the news columns of this issue to the new Huntingdon Water Filtration Plant.It is indeed a commendable asset to Huntingdon.Our Town deserves much credit for its aggressiveness and forethought to provide this utility, and especially at this hour when Canada is making such forward industrial strides and in the years to come will see its population increased perhaps a hundred fold.The towns that are prepared to grow are the most likely places to benefit by such natural developments.With an abundance of filtered water at our service it should act as yeast to the dough and see our community grow so that in another decade or two another enlargement to the filter plant will then be deemed advisable.Enlarged Water Mains Will Follow O MATTER what programme of development takes place something else is sure to follow.When a farmer buys a tractor, he must aiso buy a double furrowed plow for it, else he is not going to get full use of the tractor.Huntingdon now has an enlarged water tration plant and in order to deliver the ater with a volume of pressure it is highly probable some of the water mains in town will have to be enlarged.It is a known fact that many of our water mains are as sound today as they were when installed in 1894-95, During the past twelve months new water Mains have been created and built in Hun- tingdon.These new water mains are going to perform a commendable service as they were 80 intended; but for all of that there will still ~ be streets that need larger water mains so commendable water pressure will be available.It is to be hoped we can relax ° from this municipal building programme until today.Mr.McPhillips said he had received this information from the administrator of services.A number of municipalities in this areo had inquired as to whether they would be permitted to adopt a higher tax rate for 1942, It was stated that in municipalities where charges are made for special services the rates must be Kept within the principle of the maximum prices regulations which state that \u2018no person or class of persons shall be charged more after December 1, 1941, for the same service which was charged to persons of the same class during the basic period, September 15 to October 11, 1941.\u201d R.R.Ness Made an M.L.C.REMIER Adelard Godbout of Quebec Province had led us to believe that the life of the Legislative Council was near its end of usefuiness to the Province and that when the Liberal party would be restored to power it was but a matter of time till the Council would be wound up.When Premier Godbout was making such statements he also stated .women in Quebec would be accorded the franchise to vote.Many people thought the franchise to women would take longer to put into practice than doing away with the Legislative Council, yet such has not been the case.Premier Godbout is undoubtedly one of the greatest Provincial Premiers of all times, and from any of Canada's nine provinces.This great little man did not go back on his promise of the vote for women, but accorded it and such votes were exercised for the tirst time by the women at the recent by-election held in Huntingdon County.Premier Godbout is an astute politician with marked business ability.As a farmer, he is top ranking.As a Judge of men, he knows the type he wants to surround him so that they in turn can assume a portion of the task of according good legislation to Quebec Province.Evidently the lapse of time since Premier Godbout insinuated the Legislative Council could be done away with has altered his opinion, which all thinking people have a perfect right to do, The excellent Government Premier Godbout has accorded Quebec since he took office convinces us that he feels the Legislative Council has yet a duty to perform and that it will be good business for Quebec to keep this body functioning.The Legislative Council represents an annual expenditure of $112,000 and perhaps more, but we can all rest assured Premier Godbout, business pre- miler as he has already demonstrated himself to be, must feel Quebec is getting fair value for this expenditure and that the Province of Quebec still needs the Legislative Council, Of the four vacancies In the Legislative

the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for Quebec province said that there still seemed to be confusion in the minds of some peopie about the application of price control.There is no pegged price for any paiticular commodity, they said; each shop or store throughout the country has its own \u201cprice ceiling\u201d for each item sold.The law states that no merchant may sell a given item for more than the greatest price he charged for that item between September 1 and October 11.A letter received in the retail administration offices from a dealer in a small Quebec town complained that it was impossible for that merchant to sell articles at the \u201cprices pegged in the big cities\u201d because of increased transportation and handling costs.The reply to this is that the small town merchant does nol need to follow city prices.He must, however, keep his prices down to the same level at which he sold during the basic period September 15 T0 October 11.Many questions have been received about rents.In this connection the Board officials announce that no rents may be raised above the level prevailing on October 11.That applies to cases where written or verbal leases were in effect on that date.Where no lease was in effect, the ren: must be no higher than that set by the latest lease since January 1, 1941.And if no lease was in effect at all this year, the rental charged will have to be subject to approval by the Board.About Christmas turkeys © spokesman says that housewives throughout Quebec should pay no more for their turkeys than they did between the dates September 15 and October 11.The only exception to that is the \u201cspecials\u201d \u2018which were beirig saved for the Christmas e 8 Ll Members of the English River Rifle Club, Riverfield, Quebec,

Roosevelt.For example: 1.Establish a censorship over all forms of foreign communications.2.Redistribute Government administrative functions.; 3.Modify defence contracts and permit them to be entered into without competitive bidding or performance bonds.What is the difference between such powers and the power of Adolf Hitler?The fundamental difference that Roosevelt gets his powers from the United States Congress, which represents the American peop'o.and that Congress, if it so wills, can withdraw them.In Girmany there is no one, no agency.to withdraw or in any way interfere with or check the powers of Hitler.He is supreme, answerable to nobody; he can only be removed by a bullet.And Mr.Roosevelt's powers are no greater, no more sweeping that the Parliament of Canada have conferred upon the Government (through our War Measures Act), and no greater or more sweeping than the Parliament of Great Britain have put into the hands of Mr.Churchill and his Cabinet.Canadians perhaps hardly realize the powers given the Government of Canada under the War Measures Act.In practice they are all but limitless.Somebody once said that Parliament could do anything but change the sex of a

National Research Laborities, Ottawa, on the relative perishability of smoked and unsmoked bacon.In the storage studies, unsmoked bacon was found to be rancid ofter 42 days, whereas the smoked product was usually satisfactory after 70 days, Wilt- shire bacon is usually matured for two or three weeks before smoking and then consumed immediately.This procedure is believed to produce the most desirable flavor.Hitherto, Canadian Wiltshire sides have been exported to Britain in the \u201cgreen\u201d or unsmoked condition and smoked there.If smoking were employed as a method of preservation during transit, the bacon would have to be smoked shortly after cure and then be carried through a relatively extended transport period before reaching the consumer.These studies are being continued and trial shipments are being made to Britain.\u20ac England states.Mrs.Ruth B.Shaw, Who 1s attached ' Flight of Snowy Owls Since mid-October an unusually large number of snowy owls, whose natural home is the Arctic, have been flying southward through the settled regions of Eastern Canada.A study of the extent, duration, and density of the southward flight of these birds is being made and persons who see snowy owls can assist by reporting their obervations, giving date and place, to the National Parks Bureau of the Department of Mines and Resources.Information received so far indicates à large number of snowy owls have been seen or shot in Ontario and Quebec and that many more have flown on to the Maritime Provinces and the United States.More than two hundred of the birds have already been reported in the New The snowy owl is conspicuously white, has no tufts of feathers projecting from the rounded contour of its head.and is about two feet long.The white of the plumage is gener- ily broken by a number of dark bars.This owl] is generally silent and does much of its hunting by daylight.Tt prefers open country (and may often be seen perched on a haystack, post, or other elevation.The food of the snowy owl con | sists largely of small mamals, such | as rats, mice, and lemmings.Such food becomes scarce in the Arctic about once in four years and it is believed that this scarcity is the cause of the occasional wholesale southward flights of snowy owls.Since Arctic foxes which are the principal fur bearing animals of the Artic, also depend largely for food on small mammals and are reduced in numbers when food Is scarce, it ts probable that a big southward flight of snowy owls may be considered am indication that in the of The Chateau, Huntingdon, who was

industries which might be considering to establish in the Town of Huntingdon.Taxes Increased in 1942 The members of the Huntingdon Town Council had to increase the water taxes for 1942.It is intimated that the slight advance does not justify the expenditures made, when all details are taken ing consideration.For example, in 1940 the revenues of the water department amounted to $7,943.and D 1941 the secretary-treasurer expects tu issue a financial statement showing revenues of about $11,000.The expenditures at the filter plant and the installation of a new pipe line and sewer reach the amount at

the sort of dog Fala is; mischievous and lighthearted, though he does at times assume: |an air of dignity befitting a dog belonging to the Chief Executive of the nation.Fala, who was presented to the President by a close friend, is short dent Roosevelt's rugged Scottish ancestors.The name, therefore, is highly appropriate since Fala's canine ancestors originally came from bonny auld Scotland.Fala receives only one meal a day, consisting of mixed vegetables and meat, and this is usually served to him by the President.who takes no chances on endangering the dog's health by overfeeding him.The Scottie gets sufficient exercise too.He takes walks accompanied by either a secret service guard, or the President's colored valet.He also has a special enclosure near the executive offices to which he can retire, as one reporter said, \u201cwhen the goings inside get too tiresome.\u201d The President during his leisure moments often reads his favorite detective stories with faithful Fala by his side.Between man and dog there is that inseparable bond which exists between a dog and his master, Fala appears constantly in company with the President and has travelled quite extensively.He has met many prominent people, but, friendly though he is, he naturally reserves his affection for the Roosevelt family, particularly for the President.SOLUTION Sometimes when I go walking nights Along a.dark, still lane, I'm sure I want a dog with size And prestige, like a Dane.And then I hear somebody boast Of his dog\u2019s pedigree And so I think with changing mind, \u201cA dachshund it will be.\u201d And still T see another proud As he shows off his pet, A keen and eager setter, and I think, \u201cThat's what I'll get.\u201d From collie.chow.to Boston bull I flit just like a bee, And end up by keeping some stray pup Who comes to live with me!

I never liked any of it except the problems, and many of them even took on a forbidding look by the introduction of English money.What sort of a cook, or even man, was I.Todhunter to mix up the flour, raisins, and suet in his alge- braical pudding with pounds, shillings, and pence instead of milk and eggs?And nary a grain of sugar, salt, or spice, no, not even a grate of nutmeg.If you don\u2019t believe me, listen here,\u2014 What is a Pudding?A pudding consists of 2 parts of flour, 3 parts of ralsins and 4 parts of suet: flour costs 3d a 1b,, raisins, 6d., and suet 8d.Find the cost of the several ingredients of the pudding when the whole cost is 2s.4d.Away With Todhunter The extravagance and resultant indigestibility of Mr.Tod- hunter\u2019s suet pudding must be patent to all.In his time, this might have been deemed of no consequence in a mathematical problem, but under our modern Dahlia\u2019s W hatnots + Algebra Should be Eliminated From High School Course\u2014Curbs False Boasting, Such as is Heard in Fish Stories\u2014People Brought relaxation, my first thought was | A CTI HEC 40S 570] IVE HOt.\u201ceels Ceased Certain Subjects Dr.Dean deprecated the present tendency in the States to try to save money in the schools by doing away with the teaching of music, manual training, nature study, physical training, and other subjects which some peo- le are plased to call \u201cfrills and ads\u201d, while still retaining algebra, Latin, mediaeval history, etc.He claims that whatever Subject cannot be absorbed into the child's cultural life should be abolished.Affect Countries The war in a terrible way, as old Euclid in his mildly interesting way, is bringing people back to earth, on to their feet, and up against eternal truths.You hear it said that, in terms of money, every country will be bankrupt, and we shall be bankrupt, too, before the conflict is ended.It is bound to affect education in a drastic degree.Perhaps it will be seen that some of the \u201cfrills and fads\" of which Dr, Dean makes mention are natural and true means of expression and more healthy from the educative standpoint than some of the classical standbys.Take Latin, for example.About the time of Queen Elizabeth and before people had to learn it if they wanted to read at all they must know Latin for almost all the books had been written in the dead languages.Such knowledge was a necessity to culture.Latin still has its time and place in an educational system, but it should not be allowed to usurp the place of other things more essential to the live interests of youth.Conventional ammar, i.e.formal grammar rules have been rightly superseded to some extent by practical exercise in correct language, spoken and written.Given a taste for good reading, and this is largely a matter of training, the modern boy and girl will be apt to follow up in later life the facts of history and geography which he | is learning to-day in every hour\u2019s news.Havelock Mr.Oswald Mannagh of Valley- field was a recent guest at his home here, Mrs.M.Beattie spent the past week with friends in Mooers.Mrs.Roy Sayers and Children are spending a while with friends at Bath, Ont.Mr.and Mrs.Arthur Buchanan and family of Howick were guests of her brother Mr.F.Buchanan, on Sunday.Glad to report Mrs.Wilfrid Robinson is feeling much better and able to enjoy a short motor trip.Powerscourt Mr.Waiter Boucher of St.Boni- System wherein cooking lessons and the co-relation of subjects are emphasised, it would seem | an inconsistency.Twice as! much suet as flour!

A Combination But really the combination of letters and numbers gave me a feeling such as, I fancy, might be raised in one's mind upon first attempting the study of the Chinese language with its myr- ial characters.Is Algebra Useless?What does Dr.Dean say?He has been a teacher, and he concept to prepare for professional engineering.He says in part,\u2014I cannot see that algebra contributes one iota to a young person's health or one grain of inspiration to his spirit.I can see no use for it in the home as an aid to a parent .a citizen, a producer, or a customer, It is one of those subjects that have kept, children from finishing high school, .and from enjoying much of their home study work.Behind the question of algebra is the larger question of acade- certain subjects long known to be useless, are still to be retained.Algebra and a few other subjects are keeping millions of children from becoming geniuses and artists.But the schools are still kow-towing to the hoary.past instead of looking at boys! and girls to see what they need to-day in life for their minds, mic tradition which teaches that |.bodies and spirits.face, Manitoba is visiting his mother, sister and brothers here.Mr.Boucher hasn't been back East since he left for the West over 30 years ago.Mrs.E.M.Wood entertained a few ladies on Friday at a quilting for Red Cross work.Messers Thos., Clarence and Miss Mildred Forrester of Ormstown were guests Thursday of Mr.and Mrs.Russell Milne.Mr.John Koski spent the weekend at his home here Mrs.Perjil of | Montreal was also a week-en guest at the Koski home.Mr.and Mrs.Wm.Graham and | daughter Hazel of Chateaugay, N.!

the school taxes without the responsibility or power of expending them.The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the rural districts would lose in order that the Central High School might gain.The

Publicity Programme On Tuesday afternoon Victory Loan organizers held a committee meeting in their offices in the County Building.District supervisors, Messers Davis and Rochon were present.It was intimated at this meeting that plans for the conducting of this second Victory Loan would follow much along the lines of the 1941 Victory Loan campaign.A few changes will likely be made in the township organizations and some changes may be made when it comes to compiling the lst of men who will be sent out to write up orders for Victory Loan bonds.Messrs A.A.Lunan and J.O.Michaud are to act as joint chairmen for Huntingdon County with Mr.W.K.Phipps as secretary.In Chateauguay County (West) Messrs D.A.Barrington, Ormstown, and Simeon Beaudin, Howick Station, will act as joint chairmen with Mr.W.G.McGerrigle, Ormstown, as secretary.The Victory Loan campaign will open on February 16th and continue for three weeks, with a possibility of being extended another week.Quota to be raised in these two districts has not yet been announced.In place of a \u201cTorch\u201d pin being accorded each purchaser of a bond, a pin in the form of a celluloid cut-out emblem of a maple leaf in red will be used.The public relations committeee will be called upon to arrange for WEDDING COOKMAN\u2014 MacKENZIE The marriage of Olga Jean, elder daughter of Mr.and Mrs.W.8.MacKenzie, of Skegawake, Que.to Kenneth Elvidge Cookman, younger son of Mrs.W.S.Cookman and the late Major Cookman, formerly of Henrysburg, Que.was quietly solemnized at 8t.Clement's Church, Verdun.The Rev.Deane performed the ceremony.The bride, who was given in marriage by her cousin, Mr.Munkit- trick, of Verdun, was dressed in turquoise blue moss crepe with a small hat of the same materials and black accessories.She wore a corsage of pink carnations.Both bride and groom were unattended.Out of town guests included: Mrs, W.8.Cookman, the groom's mother, Mr.and Mrs.Lynwood Cook- man and son Raymond, Mr.and Mrs.R.T.Brownlee, all of Hem- mingford, Que.some publicity propaganda, but as yet it is too early to state just what will be done.The one essential thing to strive for is to make everyone conscious of the fact that this war has to be financed and the money must be raised through borrowed money, whether it be bor rowed in the form of Victory Bonds or through the sale af War Savings \u2018certificates.The War Savings Certificate organization has been combined with that of the Victory Loan, so between the two organizations the War Financing story should be driven home to every individual in no mistaken manner, A series of war films that can materially aid in impressing the public of the need of money will be placed in the hands of the Campaign organizers and they in turn will arrange for the films being screened throughout the entire Chateaguay Valley for the general enlightenment of all.Phone 2174 Filtration Plant.J.ARTHUR ELLIOTT Building Contractor 32 King Street

Wednesday, January 21st, 1942 Coagulation Basin and Water Wells are Interesting Features Basin Covered by a Heavy Blanket of Earth\u2014Clear Water Wells are Eleven Feet in Depth, Have Capacity of 150,000 Gallons\u2014Building on Rock Foundation Hundreds of citizens have visited the filter plant since the new addition was completed in December.Others watched the steady progress of the structure since the forms were laid early in June, 1941.The intricate operations of the mechanical end of the filtration plant have aroused much interest among the young and older element.New Scenery Beneath all these developments and new scenery at the west end of the Town of Hun- tingdon there are some more important factors which are of vital importance to this industrial centre.For instance, there are probably few people who are aware of the fact that there are two clear wells directly underneath the filtration plant building itself which act as reservoirs of pure water, ready for distribution in any part of the town at a given moment, Another new feature which is to be found in the west part of the filter plant is the coagulation basin.Strike Quicksand When D, J.O'Connor accepted the responsibility of building the addition to the filtration plant, he was told by the engineers of the Provincial Board of Health that he would have to dig to a depth of eleven feet so that the water well or reservoir would be at the same level in the new building as in the old one.Plans and work progressed satisfactor- {ly until they reached seven or eight feet when workmen struck clay.This was the case until workmen dug to ten feet in depth when quicksand was reached.The contractor was temporarily puzzled but the problem was solved without delay.The engineer instructed him to dig until a solid foundation was reached.This was obtained at the thirteenth foot mark.The building now stands on solid rock and should last for a century without changes unless Hitler decides to play his funny games on this continent.A Perfect Building As described in another column, the building is of concrete and brick.When the engineers tested it as to strength and durability, they found that it was as perfect a building as they had seen in any section of Canada.This spoke well for the contractor, D.J.O'Connor, who deserves much praise for his workmanship.Twe Clear Water Wells The clear water wells are eleven feet below the surface of the earth and extend all over the new and old buildings.The capacity of each of these wells 4 is 150,000 gallons.Heavy steel ladders are erected at strategic points in these wells so that filter plant workmen might be able to reach the bottom or any other part of the wells in the event of unexpected happenings.\u2019 The Coagulation Basin The purpose of the coagulation basin is to have a great Valleyfield Bow Again to Joliette, 9-2 Visitors Score Two Lone Goals Late in Third Period \u2014 David, Marks Star Joliette played host to Valley- field at a

until the game was more than half over.Score Early David and Johnny Marks whip in a pair for Joliette in the first frame, five more went by goaltender Lascelles in the middle session and another in the third.Paquette scored the Valleyfield club\u2019s first tally in the second, and Tremblay and Leger got the other pair when it was too late in the third frame.The teams: Valleyfield: Goal,

as clear water diminishes in the wells, raw water passes through the filter system and keeps the number of gallons in the wells at the same level.As the water diminishes in the coagulation basin pumps are started and more water is drawn in from the Chateauguay River.This increase and reduction in water is constant and assures the residents of Hun- tingdon of a regular supply of water twenty-four hours a day.Natural Facilities The coagulation basin is about sixteen feet in depth.It is covered by a heavy blanket of dirt which is more than seven feet in thickness in some places.At the top of it, there are about four feet of dirt on the cement slab roof.This action prevents freezing in the cold winter months and helps to keep the water at a fair temperature of coolness in the summer.Nature thus provides the heating and refrigeration system for the coagulation basin throughout the year, without forcing the town to spend money for heating apparatus.An Invitation Citizens are invited to view the filter plant where offcials will be pleased to show them the intricate operation of this water system.Obituary THOMAS G.MURPHY Thomas G.Murphy, brother of C.J.Murphy, Huntingdon, who was

EDITOR The Editor, Huntingdon Gleaner, Dear Sir:\u2014 In the midst of so many de- + + + ing in an all-out war effort, I | wish to voice a protest against the apparent approval of the Press in general, and your recent editorial regarding the issue of a fancy-dress uniform to the ; army.| As the forces now number several hundreds of thousands the cost of this is going to run into many millions of dollars.The \u2018eve of a campaign to ask the public to loan six hundred millions for the war eftort, would seem a very inappropriate time for our government to announce the useless spending of so many \u2018millions on such an unnecessary and cumbersome addition to the present load the soldier has to ; Carry.I shall always have a very vivid memory of the four most in- ;terestin® years of my life, doing my bit as one of the six hundred : and fifty thousands who fought for and against practically the same principles as are at stake today.1 certainly cannot remember much complaint for an extra uniform, though there were times when a new one would have been acceptable.On the social side the previous generation of the \u2018fairer sex', both at home and overseas, were proud of their boy friends in i their every day uniform in spite of traces of previous exertions, or evidences of wear and tear.One has to admit that the infantry uniform of to-day is terribly handicapped, for the fascination of \u2018sweet sixteen\u2019, against the blue bird-men but that should hardly be a factor in voluntary service to one's country.The idea of a chocolate soldier uniform being an incentive to recruiting is rather incongruous in view of the seriousness of the present situation.Church- Jl has suggested an offensive | for 1943 so it will be \u2018fighting | nen\u2019 that will be needed, not fops who could be induced into the army by a fancy uniform.In spite of war loans, taxes, ; uniforms, etc, the country, after twenty-eight months of war, needs an awakening or revival of patriotism or pride of origin which I believe was behind the \u2018service to the Empire of the volunteers in the Boer and Great Wars.The Empire has still to \u2018finish the

that the programme shall be intensified rather than diminished as a result of this move.The College staff are already engaged in many vital activities in connection with the war effort.This latest move represents only one other contribution, and it has been accepted as such by staff and students.All realize that it will involve inconvenience and even [ hardship.but all of this will be accepted in the true Macdonald spirit.The most radical change will be the removal of the School for Teachers to Strathcona Hall in Mon- itreal.Those remaining will miss the association of friends and col- Jergues of this School, and will eagerly await their return to their natural home.They.in turn, will no doubt miss {the superb surroundings and facilities of the Col'ege, so an- nropriate for teachers-in-training.It is gratifying to know, however, that the University has heen ae to provide entirely suitable arrangements in Montreal for the housing and teaching of the students of this School.All these arrangements are temporary.but they guarantee complete stability for the duration of the war.It is fully realized, that the training of teachers is a vital national necessity and it is intended to let nothing interfere with already matured plans for improving academic standards.Equally suitable arrangements have been made for carrying on the work in Household Science and Agriculture.Suitable buildings on the campus have been made ready to house the students and plans have been formulated to ensure that student life will continue with little important change.None of the laboritories are being interfered with in any way, and the quarters vacated by the School for Teachers will afford adequate classroom facilities for the Canadian Women's Army Corps.The authorities of the University desire to emphasize the fact that, other than certain projected Short Courses.all the regular activities of the College will be continued under equally favourable conditions to those that have existed in the past.The devotion of the staff and the enthusiastic co-operation of the students will undoubtedly place the College in a stronger position than ever before, fully prepared to play an important part in the reconstruction period which must follow the war.Dirty nests and poultry houses and allowing the birds to run out of doors into muddy yards are responsible for soiled eggs

.from effects of Total War.\u2018The Government is trying to get away from using the word conscription.After all, the word conscription has been associated with compulsory service in the armed forces.But with Total War, a new phrase is absolutely necessary as the scope of compulsory service has to be considerably broadened.It has to take in practically everyone, otherwise it would not be Total War.Selective Service is the phrase that is being used and if put into effect it will cover both men and women, released for the armed services.This is total war.All Men Are Needed The only way we can bring victory nearer is for every possible man and woman to be engaged in either the production of war materials or in the armed forces of the country.\u2018There is much comment on what Quebec thinks about selective service and there is a general feeling that this province is unfavorable to it.However, Premier Godbout in a recent speech said, that if conscription meant the winning of the war, then he was in favor of it.Of course the Premier is only one man, But the people of Quebec must realize that their future is just as much at stake as the rest of the people in Canada With the

and Tile Board.The underground water system in the Town of Huntingdon is considered good, according to certain reports made by the engineers during their frequent visits to Huntingdon during the past six months.With the instal- ation of an addition to the water filtration plant, however, it may be necessary to eventually enlarge certain water mains.When the water was turned on in the new section of the filter plant some time during the lat-! ter part of December, 1941, residents in the north end of the town were able to use as much water as they desired.This had not been the case for more than a year.Ratepayers near the Woollen Mills saw water flow steadily in the second floor of their homes.Industries had all the water they needed at their disposal.In other words, all water taxpayers were receiving a generous flow of water.Eight Miles of Water Pipes, Sewers A rough estimate of the town's water system shows that there are about eight miles of water mains and sewers in Hunting- don.The water mains start at the filter plant and are found on all the streets of Huntingdon and as far as the À, C.H.Pi-| card property on Bouchette street.Sewers are also located on all streets, except a small part of Wellington and Dalhousie streets.Vary in Size The water mains vary in size from about two inches to eight inches.At the filter plant they are about ten inches in diameter and decrease gradually throughout the other sections of the town in order to keep the pressure equal in all homes.The opposite is in keeping \u2018vith the sewer pipes.At the east end of Chateauguay street the sewers are about thirty inches in diameter and near the filter plant they are about twelve inches.Pressure decreases from the west end of the town to the eastern section.Noted Improvements Some of the recent changes made on the sewer and waler lines in Huntingdon took place on Chateauguay and Wellington streets.As a relief project, the Provincial authorities granted a substantial sum of money to the Town of Huntingdon three years ago in order to improve the sewer on Chateauguay street.The project lasted about six montns and gave employment to some one hundred workmen who were out of work.This improvement was a timely one and relieved much anxiety from the members of the council.In the fall of 1940, the Huntingdon Woollen Mills and other residents in that section of Hun- tingdon complained about the poor water pressure.Some homes at that time were hardly able to get enough water to meet the very ordinary requirements of the household.The council decided to install a water main from the filter ® Cazaville Private Charles Edouard Trépa- nier, who is training in Hunting- don's Military Camp, spent the week-end at the home of his parents, Mr.and Mrs.Aiexis Trépa- nier.On

as their Scotch neighbors and spread it on the land.JAMES McDONALD\u2014We came from a few miles east of Melrose, Scotland, my father was a miller; I had held the plow for two years when we left, when I was sixteen years of age.My grandfather may have come from the Highlands, We sailed from Annan, in a Liverpool ship, which called there for emigrants, in the spring of 1820.My brother had preceded us, and was a miller in Williamstown We went up to the Salmon river, where my father was engaged at Fort Coving- ton, as miller by Robert Buchanan.That summer the family of Mr.Davidson arrived; he was out the year before I think and had ea store as had also (Norman) Mac- donaid.Fort Covington was then a very small place.Buchanan caught several barrels of salmon at his dam for winter use.I worked out in the States\u2019 side and did well, and was offered $12 a month to team when we left.My father was anxious to get land and settle down, so when his year was up with Buchanan, we left to see the newly opened lands in Huntingdon, about which we had made enquiries.We either walked or sailed to Hungry Bay to see James Brown whom we believed to be agent.We arrived about noon, and I remember the settlement was excited by a contest between Thomas Marshall and an American who had challenged him to chop one cord for his two.Marshall accepted and won the bet easily.They were both stripped to shirt and pants and the settlers were piling the wood as cut.I should not wonder 1f théy cut cordwood to send in rafts to Montreal.Brown gave AML NP SEA 5 Apr THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER -\u2026 Some Members of the Huntingdon Town Council ALD.J.H.DEMERS us the information about the lots offered, and told us to take our choice.We walked out through the Teafield by a soft pathway that had been tracked, until we reached Hamilton\u2019s house, where we halted for a while.When we got out to the river we found that the raising of Hunter's house had been begun that day.The men employed under Bob Barter, were, with him, all all drunk, and a gable was chained to a stump to prevent its falling.We slept that night in a shanty with the Hunter boys.My father was led to select his lot mainly by their proximity to the river.The land between Huntingdon and Murray Bridge was largely composed of hemlocks.and above that of large elms and black ash.We saw everywhere we went the stumps of pines that had been cut by the lumbermen.Back on the ridge was heavily timbered by maple.Having chosen our lots, we left Fort Covington late in the Fall for our new home.We drove on the States\u2019 side until we reached the Lines,.when we turned down to near Morrison's, where the road ceased.and after that was only a winter road.Barlow's mill was in operation.We got a canoe from the people at Morrison's, whose names I do not recollect, and embarking with our goods sailed down to our lot.Old Suttle, who hunted a good deal, with his wife and two daughters, then lived in a shanty near Thos.Stark's and there was an old soldier, who abode by himself on Wallis\u2019 lot, and who was sustained mainly, I think, by his pension.Major Wright lived on Creighton\u2019s lot and Page was on McFarlane's.Below there was nobody until, on | the river bank, you came to Steb- bin's house on Lunan\u2019s lot, and who lived by his day's work, and then his father-in-law Palmer.I think Hunter and Percy were the only settlers in Huntingdon.Percy's mill looked old, and must have been up some time.We raised a shanty, at which we were assisted by the pensioner, Palmer and other neighbors.Palmer had a yoke of oxen, with which he drew the logs for the shanty and, I rather think, brought up a load of boards for the roof, as it was too late to peel the trees of their bark.We had brought provisions with us, and lived tolerably all winter.I working hard.even {by moonlight, in chopping.In the spring we planted, among the logs, potatoes and corn, which yielded tolerably.That spring, (22)

at Dewittville the morning Peter Mc- Farlane was drowned, his compan- jon was saved by catching a chain from a raft.My brother the miller, on going down the river the following spring, found his body among some trees on a bend below Dewittville.My brother sailed down.All the loads were taken by water, the roads being so bad.I helped Cameron to raise his grist mill at Huntingdon and while working at it Brown and an American named Jacob Dovewell, came with several men to drive us away and tear down the logs, but We repulsed them.I was a witness at the case that arose out of the matter.and in

possible\u201d\u2014 for obviously, we stand as yet too close to the event to judge its full significance, and since the main purpose of the visit was to map out the Allied world strategy, it pertained chiefly to military affairs, and therefore, was for the most part secret.The only specific development to which the world was given complete information was the Declaration of 26 Allied Nations, reiterating their determination to pursue the present war against those members of the Axis against whom they are now engaged, without any separate peace.Vague, it plagotsczs uratiat roms té

the future.\u2018 Allied Grand Strategy Though the great bulk of the decisions reached at Washington were secret, events already seem to indicate the lines along which Allied strategy was drawn.For weeks the whole American nation has been waiting hourly for news of their Pacific fleet swinging into action, and there were visions of a battle, along lines as stupendous as those of Jutland in the last war, in which the question of American and Japanese sea-power would be decided once and for all, Speaking last week, Col.Frank Knox, Sécretary of the, Navy, told the nation that it should not expect any spectacular battle\u2014any single blow which would decide the naval strength.Instead, he reminded the American people\u2014 and here lies the great significance of his address\u2014that their real enemy is still Germany, that the United States will under no condition qualify for contribution to the Battle of the Atlantic, or any sphere where Allied power is now striking at the Reich.Fight In Pacific This, combined with developments in the Far East, and numerous isolated statements made by administration spokesmen in Washington, seems to indicate that the grand Ernest

Pacific\u2014Reich is Nerve Center and Strength of Axis Powers\u2014Germany or Japan First?\u2018claims = eran strategy decided by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill is to fight a delaying action in the Pacific and to concentrate the full strength of the United States on Germany and Italy.The Reich is the nerve centre and the strength of the Axis.The war will be won or lost on the.strength of what happens to Germany.Once the Nazi armies are defeated, Japan becomes a military problem of almost routine nature, it is argued.Germany or Japan First?\u2018That brings up the topic which perhaps most attention among arme-chair strategists at the moment.The problem the Allies face in attempting to cope with the Japanese attack, and especially in contemplating any offensive action, is that of communications.Six thousand miles or so, from either the United States or Britain to the battle scene is a tremendous distance.and obviously gives rise to a problem of almost unbelievable proportions.For example, to transport a half million men, and all the supplies they would require for an attack such as the Japanese have carried out against the Philippines, would necessitate an armada of troop transports, merchant ships, to say nothing of protecting naval units\u2014in al}, the most extensive movement by sea that has ever been attempted in history.For let us never forget, it is problem enough in itself to prepare for an invasion of the continent of Europe in numbers which assure its success.How much greater that problem becomes when the distance is not a mere 20 miles across the Channel, but at least hundreds from Asutralia, after a stop-off following literally thousands of miles from Britain and the United States.A Delaying Action There are some who have argued, therefore, from the start of the Far Pacific warfare, that the Allied best strategy is to fight a delaying action.In the week following December 7.I quoted Vincent Sheean in my article, to the effect that it was probable the allies would lose everything in the Pacific except Ha- wail and Singapore; and even with such an eventuality, their position would be not without hope, for they would hold the key points for offensive action when the appropriate time came.Defensive Action in Far East But will we ever be in a position to go after the Japs with power enough\u2014until Allied forces are freed in Europe?It is contended by some that the answer is \u201cNever!\u2019.In other words, the obvious lines of grand strategy is to concentrate on Europe, on Germany where signs of disintegration grow every week, and having cleaned up that situation, turn our full attention , to the Far East.The same school of thought the sidelines in ure for the Payments to year amounte each

attempt recovering our losses from the Japs by sea-borne attacks on, say.the Philippines.The result would only be, they contend, extremely high losses, for they are unavoidable in such an attack.A Land Force Instead, does the obvious way of striking at the Japs not lie through a land force, launched against them in numbers such that the Allies will stand on more or less equal footing.And this can only be done by a a great Allied expeditionary force, landed in India, in Burma, and moving eastward, cutting off the Japanese troops further south in the Malaya Peninsula, joining force with the army of milHons of Ohi- nese, for whom heavier equipment and air support will be provided, and then moving irresistibly north- | ward through China, driving the Nipponese forces back into the sea.Then, an all-out attack on Japan by the air, and perhaps by seaborne expeditionary force striking at the heart of the enemy's power.Once he was brought down at home, the problem of Philippines would solve itself.Hit Germany and Italy If that be the grand strategy upon which the Allies plan to work, it, obviously calls for extra special attention being devoted to Germany this year.We recall the statement of President Roosevelt to the American Congress that an expeditionary force to Britain is contemplated.\"That island fortress is already adequately supplied with manpower for its own protection\u2014 the proof being that Hitler has never attempted its invasion.Obviously, then, if the Americans are going to send an army to Britain, it is merely that it may be used as a jumping-off point for invasion of the continent.And meanwhile, the problem lies in cleaning up the North African coast\u2014a venture which would ease the mind of at least this arm-chair strategist if it were progressing more rapidly.Because if we do not get that corner of Axis strength eliminated, we shall be faced by a terrific\u2014all the more terrific because it is desperate\u2014at- tack by the Nazis, either directly across from Italy by way of Malta, or on toward Spring, by way of a giant pincers movement in the Mediterranean, into Spain in the West, and through Turkey in the East.Strike at the Suez Such a venture, if at all successful, would immediately ease the pressure we are placing on General Rommel in Libya, because if the to gain in the Caucasus but they will be in a position to strike at the Suez.Likewise in the west, with comparatively little trouble, because of the certain acquiescence of Spain, siege could be laid to Gibraltar, and although it is improbable that the rock could be reduced, its use as a naval base would end rapidly, and the western entrance to the Mediterranean would be closed through enemy guns, for long mounted and ready, on the Spanish side at Algeciras, and on the African side, at Ceuta.Aubrey-Riverfield Mrs.George Robb was pleasantly surprised on Saturday evening when her sons, daughters, brothers and sister with their families gathered

Connaught.DUKE OF CONNAUGHT DIES IN 92nd YEAR .A 2 es wt = Ph ¥, # Huntingdon has never lost sight of the fact that the Duke of Con- naught who died on January 16, 1942, paid an official visit to this community in 1870 at the time of the Fenian Raid.It was on the occasion of that visit that the Hun- tingdon Borderers ,were presented with their Colors by the Duke of in 1937 the \u201cColors\u201d were restored and on Remembrance Day were deposited with military honors in St.John's Anglican Church where they presently adorn the edifice.On that occasion a cable gram was received from the Duke of Connaught expressing pleasure\u2019 in knowing \u201cthe colors\u201d were being so honored.In 1870.when the Duke of Con- naught was in Huntingdon he was entertained at the home of the late El Lo, Archibald Henderson and presently owned by Mr.and Mrs, F.H.Hunter.Thanks to Mr.Hunter we are able to reproduce the above picture which shows His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, Duke of Con- naught reading an address, to the troops on their return from the Battle at Trout River, from the verandah of this historic landmark in Huntingdon.To the left of the Duke of Connaught is C.J.Bridges who at that time was manager of \u2018the Grand Trunk Railway, second to his left is his son.The tall officer in the front with the broad sash is General Lindsay, who accompanied the Militia.The officer standing in the door way is Colonel Fitzgeorge, A.D.C.to Prince Arthur.The late Archibald Henderson is at the extreme right.What\u2019s in the Wind by PAULA DICKS Nebuchadnezzar ate grass; the British seamen of the eighteenth century drank raw lemon juice; the Alaskan miners in the gold rush drank pine needle tea; and the English mother to-day gives her children syrup of rose hips.Not because any of these concoctions are particularly pleasant, but because their high Vitamin C content prevents that most virulent of vitamin-deficiency diseases known as Scurvy.This terrible condition has always been prevalent wherever diet is restricted by poverty, war or famine.The danger of it, even in its mildest form, should be easily avoided in this country if every housewife remembers the importance of Vitamin C when planning the family meals.nutrition services of the Department of Pensions and Health advises.Fortunately for the family food budget, Vitamin C is present in appreciable quantity in such simple foods as potatoes and parsnips, fresh cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, beet tops, spinach and watercress.Eaten raw they would give the highest value, and faulty cooking can render them almost useless.So cook your potatoes in their skins; plunge the cabbage into fast boiling water and cook rapidly with a lid on the saucepan for not more than 7-10 minutes; spinach needs only the water that clings to the leaves after washing.Use shredded cabbage and watercress in salad rather than lettuce.Fresh oranges, grapefruit and lemons are so rich in Vitamin C that four ounces of juice a day is sufficient for an adult.Twice that quantity is needed of tomato juice, fresh or canned.The homely banana is a valuable food for small children, and its Vitamin C content has helped it to live down a reputation for being indigestible, AGRICO \u2019 FERTILIZERS We are taking orders now for \u201cA.A.Quality\" izers Order early and avoid being disappointed W.D.Fraser, Agent - Dundee, Que.> Looking F, FARMERS for Help to Milk Those Cows then Get A DeLaval Milker and You Will Have Help 365 DAYS IN THE YEAR C.MOORE æ Save the Hen Feathers!
