About the first move in this direction was made last summer when the department purchased a larlot of the Canadian National Ex- hibition prize carlot hogs of the piopc-r type to make uj) a shipment of highest grade Wiltshire sides for the British market. The hogs were killed, cured, and shipped overseas under government supervision at every point and the special co-opera- tion of Ontario House in London. The Ontario Marketing Board has been studying the situation and sev- eral meetings of packers have result- ed in the suggestion of forming an Ontario Bacon Export Association with the idea of creating in England a demand for Ontario bacon of the best type as distinguished from the ordinary run of Canadian bacon. As Ontario has done with api)les and honey, the province plans to estab- lish and control a super grade of bacon which will place Ontario bacon in a prico range class equal to th; highest now on the British markets. This will mean many thousands of dollars additional to the hog j-aisers whose price ranges are fixed by the lower export prices now unfairly ap- plied against the l)etter type of bacon because there is no way of disting- uishing it from the ordinary Canad- ian l)acon. A second experimental carload of bacon, this time shipped under the super a.uality Big "0' Branrl, is to be sent over to Groat Biitain shortly. The Dominion Department of Agri- culture has announced a future policy of bacon grading and inspection for export which will clieck the present lenden.jc of the manufacturers to tpf)il our British markets with low grade shipments. Whatever grades- may be established at Ottawa the On- tario brand will have higher gradt requirements and it is the aim to place Ontario bacon at a premium and only license the use of this brand to packers fully meeting its require- ments. Mrs. Jos. Armstrong and Edward and Edna are spending the summer at their summer home in town. Mr. Kenneth Armstrong is visiting his mother this week and is accompanied by Mr. Walter Bolton and Miss Helen Challener. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED? BUR 8TOKB WITH SBHTICai F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

The controlling power is the Boys' Work Board, aided by a committee of local men who are inter- ested in boys' work. The purpose ot the Work Board and its representa- tive, Gordon I>app, the camp diryct .r is to help the development of boys in the four phases of life â€" intellectual, physical, devotional and social. An- other purpose is to give the boys a good, yet harmless, time. The wholi> plan is summed up by the verse "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man," Luke 2:52. Notice how each event on th" program is placed so as to force this purpose into the development of the boys without their feeling SKy pain or even discontent. The first tiling in the morning was a short, snappy period of physical culture, then a "morning dip" an<i wash. The flag was raised when the boys were dressed and "mornins' watch" period w^as started. This was usually considered by the boys as the most effective part of the camp Each boy takes his "morning; watch" booklet and Bible and goes away by himself for a few minutes of me<iita- tion. Afterwards comes one of th« important events of the day â€" ^break- fast. A half hour period is then used to clean up tents, and a period of Bible study followed and two per- iods of proficiency badge work. After this it is time for a swim and dinner, which is followed by a rest period of one hour. In the afternoon there is a special feature â€" a hike, or treasure hunt â€" and on one occasion a trip was made to Wa.saga Beach. The afternoon swim came at five o'clock and supper followed. Games including volley ball and softball. came after supper and at sunset the boys lined up' and walked quietly to a hillside for vespei service. When darkness came the campfire was lit and dramatizations were given of Indian dances, songs and stories. Shortly after ten p.m. was bedtime. One does not necess- arily follow this time table. If He is sick a boy may do what he feels like doing. If he is lazy he may do the same and come under the contempt of the rest of the camp â€" but at camp' boys are not lazy. A writer aptly describesi an infant as "A stomach completely surrounded by curiosity."
