THURSTON, - Assoc Editoi A WISH (JK.VriFlKl) "It was quite a coincidence," writes Ellwowl Genoc, "that just about a week previous to your letter, I had been reading over one of your little .sketches on the Old Home Town, which I had saved. 1 was wishing as I read it that I had kept the- others so you see how aptly thij fall.s in with my desires." We wish to remind others who have not yet filled in the forms, and given personal information, that further delay may hold hack the publication of the booklet, and we are anxiou.s to have it ready for sale and distribu- tion on the Old Home Picnic day. EDITORIAL ITEMS Quality Of Lambs A statement relative to lambs of unsuitable quality in weight has been iy.iued by the Industrial and Develop- ment Council of Canadian Meat Pack- viA as a suggestion to products that they should look after the quality of their lambs in order to secure the highest market price. The message is headed: "Buck Lambs and Heavy Lamb.i" and reads as follows: The markets will continue this year to pay more for owe and wethei lambs and lambs of suitable weights. Even early in the season before buck lambs lake on their most ob- jectionable features they are of poor- er quality than ewes and wethers, being bonier and having slack backs or loins. Therefore, like all lambs of poor- er quality, they will be culled out and l)Ought at their value in the early part of the season, and after July 8rd, 1933, two cents per pound more- will be paid for ewes and wethers than for bucks. The markets will pay a cent a pound more for lambs of good qual- ity up to yO lb3. at the stockyards and plants, than for lambs from 90 I had the pleasure to meet a few days want to tell them, if they levy to pay the debenture on the Continuation .sjiool this year their position will be a lot more cmbarrasing at the coming annual meeting. There is no more need to put a levy on the section to pay the next debenture on the continuation school than thc're i? to buy a rain coat for a duck. The continuation school is in A 1 condition at the i)resent moment. The auditors' report at the annual meet- ing last December showed a surplus of ovci $2,300.00 to the credit of the continuation school, if all the money then due had been paid. This money has since been received. The old school board started five years ago with a surplus of $2,500.00, with which to buy new equipment, furniture and black boards, to install the water .system and Kaustine closets and to finish decorating the new school. We also paid our annual debenture each year and the lowest surplus we had in any one year at the annual audit was over ?1900.00. Now, the new board talks about levying for the de benture with a surplus of over $2,300 at the la-st annual audit and nothing to buy except a few supplies. According to the Inspector, whom the- year if the rrants receive no further cut. The extra maintenance grant comes from the county after that which in all probability will near- ly pay the debenture, which is due on February 11th, 1934. If any of the rate-payers in the section question this statement let him come to me and I will prove it tomed to school business knows that June sees the continuation school money at its lowest ebb. We, the old School Board, borrowed $400.00 one year in June and in December of the same year, showerl a surplus of over $1900.00. The Government, county and ttown-ship grants a^* re- by figurej and facts. Anyone accus- ceived between the 1st of September and the- 20th of December. Hoping this will to some extent »t least ea.!e the minds of those worrying about .'tchool taxes on the new school and the extravagance of the old School Board. FRED F. HALE, Former sec.-treas., S. S.

While many years have passed since her death in 1902 her memory is ever green throughout the British Empire and tne occasion is comme-moraled by a holiday. It wa-3 during her roJi'n that the British Empire reaoh.i.l th'.' broad dimensions it has attained and continued to be one of the greatest world powers. We trust it will be many years before this anniver.sary of a great queen will be dropped. BEA LTIFICATION CONTIN UES In spite of drastic cuts in Govern- ment grants. Horticultural! Sot-ietiei are doing excellent work this year, according to J. A. Carroll, Superin- tendent of Agricultural and Horti- cultural Societies. .Societies are turning more to pub- lic service and less eniphasi.s i.s being placed on premiums and ca.sh prizes for members. Tree planting fornw an important part of the program this year and many societies are in- creasing activities to cflean up and beajj,tify ragged area.s and ugly spots, Avhich detract from the appearance of town and countryside. Il has been amazing to note the number of cars and other vehicles from which branches of -shrubs have been protruding. In almost every town and village amateur enthusiasts may be observed hurrying home with plants and seeds for immediate plant- ing. There are nearly 300 societies in Ontario, to which much credit is due for steadily incre'asing the beauty of the province. The fir.n society was organized at York in 1849, and is still active as the Toronto Society. Ten were formed in 1932, and four have been born in 1933. to 110 lbs., and up to two cents per pound more than for lambs over 110 lbs. • Farmers are urged to meet lh» simple requirements of the market in order to secure top prices. 1. Castrate all male lambs. 2. Finish and market all lambs within the de.sired weights. SOME HALF HOLIDAYS Shelburne - Dundalk â€" Flesherton Creemore â€" Hanover â€" - Thursday.

F.EVERSHAM CONTINUATION SCHOOL FINANCES ACREAGE OF SPRING GRAINS Editor of the Advance: Dear Sir;- The special meeting held in the school room of S. S. No. 7, Osprey, on Monday evening, May 15th, seems to have created a very false impression concerning the fin- ances of the section, re the Continua- tion school, according to the Fever- sham correspondent's letter to The •Advance as it appeared in last week's issue. Being the former sec.-treas. i-c-fewed- ty< H ' K i m ^ letter I consider it my duty to the rate-payers of the section to enlighten them. The cor- respondent says the present school board finds themselves in rather an "cmbarrasing position" with practic- ally no money on hail i and money to borrow at the end of the term. I ago, this school ia in "tip top" shape I think it would be common sense they want to levy for, instead of money The thing is absurd. The old school board was present at the special meet- ing and I think anyone of them could have explained the situation had they been disposed to do so. If the new trustees had treated me with any degree of fairness or courtesy I would have rendered them all the aid in my power, but when their publicity agent tries to hand out insinuations through the newspapers he should know a little more about the subject before he "roars." Does he not know that my books were audited by three auditors: the section auditor, Mr. James Long; the new trustees' auditor, Mr. William Heitman; and the bank manager, Mr. Francis, chosen ty my -self, whose ability and honesty I feel no man could question. How do you suppose the money melted away, "Bob". Do you know that I have a statement signed by Che three auditors declai-- ing njy books to be correct. If any man in the section will bring that book to me I will explain any itc-in in it during my term of office. So far as strongly assuring the rate-payers five years ago that we would not make a trustees' levy to pay the debenture, I said I did not believe we would ever have to levy to pay our debenture â€" and time has proven that it was a good sane, logi- cal argument, so long as the grants do not change. Y''es, R. J., I have the .same argument tonight as I had then and I have no notion of chang- ing, even if the government grant is cut twenty per cent. What sat- isfaction do you get in trying to thi'ow a monkey wrench into the progress of the youth of the community by bucking an institution designed to raise the standard of intelligence? I can take the school books at the present time if I would and show the trustees that they should have a sur- plus of over $1600.00 at the end of Reports received by the Department indicate that the acreage devoted to principal .spring grains will not differ materially from last year. Spring I '), wheat and oats show small perce-nt- 1 •'; Bge decreases, while barley and mixed grains are estimated to increase slightly. The total acreage to be sown to the above grains in 1933 i.-> placed at 3.809,000 acres as compared â- with 3,880,300 acres la-st year. This decrease is likely to be offset by an increase in the acreage of late casli crops, including tobacco, soybeans, roots and potatoes. The condition of fall wheat is below normal in all sections except Central Ontario. Coun- ties in eastern and southwestern On- tario experienced considerable winter- killiag of wheat, rye, hay and clover HO.MES FOR CHILDRBN The Children's Aid Society dcsiri to find approved free foster homes oi adopted homes for the following children, all of whom are healthy bright children: Ru.ssell aged 12, John 12, Peter f> Edgar 11, Norman 7.
