Proprietors f i> t i . » . ! • :1 Grey County Forest Officially Opened Grey County's 1,000 acre reforest- ation project, officially known as the Grey County Forest, was officially under way Friday following the cer- emonies of county and government - officials in the plot five miles south- east of Durham. More than two hundred people gathered for the opening of the forest. Reeve W. A. McGregor of Syden- ham Township, chairman of the now- permanent committee of Reforesta- tion of the Council, tlie man who has brought to a successful conclusion the project which commenced some two years ago, was in charge of the ceremonies and gathered with him were 'Warden H. A. McCauley, mem- bers of the Reforestation committee, Reeve McGirr of Glenelg, Reeve Mar- shall of Derby, Mr. Farquhar Oliver, M.P.P. for South Grey, T. S. Cooper, Grey County Agricultural Represent- ative from Markdale, Major A. H. Richardson of Toronto from the For- estry Department of the Ontario gov- ernment, ex- Warden John Dolphin of Derby Township, and Mr. W. Porter, editor of the Farmers' Advocate, a farm publication which for years has urged conservation of the forests of Ontario. The business of planting official trees was the first part of the pro- gram. 'Warden McCauley planted a tree as did Farquhar Oliver, then the Reforestation committee, then two school children, Wally Pratt, aged 6 of S.S. No. 9, Glenelg, and Angus Knisely aged 8, of S.S. No. 1, Glen- elg, and finally 'W. R. Watson, aged 70, the oldest man present, who lives on a farm adjoining the new forest. Following the planting of the trees speeches were made by a number of the above named public men touching on the need today of more reforest- ation schemes. As the bush is cut down, so does it need to be again planted to conserve moisture so nec- essary for the growing of our crops. PRESENTATION FOR MR. and MRS. C. ALEXANDER A presentation was made to Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Alexander (nee Macil Snell) at the Fraternal Hall, Flesh- erton Friday evening by the west- backline and the Flesherton friends of the young couple. Mrs. Gordon Wauchope read the address and the presentation was made by a number of young people of two occasional chairs and a number of miscellaneous articles useful to the home. The young couple are residing at present in Flesherton. Dancing was enjoyed to good music and following the pres- entation lunch iwas served 'to the gathering. List 01 Prize Winners At Artemesia Fair John J. Brown Passes Following a lengfthy illness Mr. John James Brown passed away at his residence on the east backline, Artemesia, on Monday, October 10th, in his 68th year. The late Mr. Brown leaves his widow and two di>.ughters, Inez and Audrey, one brother, Andrew of Saskatchewan and one sister, Mrs. Lizzie Thompson of Chesley. The funeral is taking place this Wednesday afternoon, when service will be held at his late residence at 2 p.m., with interment being made in Flesherton cemetery. A GOOD PRODUCER There is one Oxford Down ewe in Artemesia that does not belong to any labor organization, but, on the other hand, believes in mass produc- tion. This ewe is owned by Mr. Wm. Irwin of the west backline, Arte- mesia. Last spring it gave birth to twin lambs and on Friday Mr. Irwin was astonished to see the mother ar- riving home with two more lambs, wobbling as they trotted along. Four lambs in less than a year is a splendid record and if the owner could develop a line of sheep with such productiveness his fortune would be made. In the meantime this ewe goes unconcernedly along producing lambs and adding considerably to the farmer's profits. Fabric Ripped In Take-off Mr. LeRoy McDonald of Toronto, a Ihnceville old boy, flew over town on Sunday in an aeroplane, then went in a westerly direction and landed at Priceville for a week end visit with relatives there. 'While he was taking off for the return trip to Toronto on Monday a wing tip touched the top of a fence post and ripped some of the fabric from the wing. He im- mediately landed to see the extent of the damage and took the affected part to Toronto for repairs. He will return later this week for the plane. WON A RADIO Mrs. F. J. Thurston was the winner of the radio donated by Northern Electric through Bennett and Richards for the guess on the outcome of the world series ball games, when New York Americans tossed out Chicago Cubs in four straight games. Out of several scores only three decided that the series would end in four straight games. These were Mrs. Thurston, Marjorie York of Markdale and Bill Stephen of Maxwell. The total points for each contestant were Mrs. Thurs- ton, 473; Marjorie York, 470 and Bill Stephen, 469. WITH THE LOCAL BAPTIST CHURCHES Harvest Home Services were held in Flesherton and Rock Mills Baptist Churches last Sunday. The choir rendered two appropriate anthems at both chui-ches. Mrs. 'Walter Akitt al- so rendered two lovely solos. The churches were tastefully decorated with fruit, vegetables and flowers and splendid congregations attended both services. Pastor .A.shton gave the Harvest Home messages. On Mon- day night the fowl supper was held and a good attendance was recorded. The program which followed consisted of vocal numbers by the Duckett sis- ters and Misses Ruth Blackburn, Ev- elyn Phillips and Eunice Allen. Bunyan's ''Pilgrim's Progress" was then shown on the sheet wth a va- riety of other slides. The Pastor thanked all who had helped to make the supper and program a success and also St. John's United Church for the use of their lantern. CLARKE-BEARD The wedding of Miss Jean P. Beard of Toronto, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Porter Beard of Flesherton, to Mr. Thomas Clarke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Clarke of Toronto, took place at the United Church parsonage, Flesherton, on Saturday, October 8, at high noon.

Thui-ston, Montreal.) .After five days of good fun at the camp we had to think about going home. The doctor mentioned the fact that one year he had gone down the north shore of Lake Superior and enjoyed the scenery very much. Talking it ^ver with my driver, we decided to leave a day earlier in order to make our return journey by that route. It transpired later that we had ac- complished the 200 miles extra in the same time as it took u.s to go. So, again loading our outfit into Mr. Hudson's capacious body we started for home, via the Trans-Canada High- way. (That name "Trans-Canada" is just yet a misnomer, as you may sec by the Ontario map that it is only built as far as Schreiber from the West, and ceases around Sudbury on the eastern section. The intervening territory is about the toughest kind of country in which to make roads, so it will be some time yet before we will actually have a trans-Canada highway.) A stretch of 60 miles from Kenora to Vermillion Bay is just a repititiun of the Lake-of-the-Woods sceneryâ€" always winding and twisting around jutting socks and skirting dozens of small lakes. One quick turn we made brought us sharply to the edge of a little lake and surprised a beautiful pair of large Mallard (I think they were Mallard) ducks feed- ing there. We came on them so un- expectedly that they almost forgot to be frightened. One was in the act of standing up in the water and flapping its wings as we passed. The turn of the road quickly hid them from view, so I don't know how they survived the scare. It is pictures like that which make a motor trip so enjoyable. .A.fter Vermillion Bay the tourist can see little of interest along the way. Some of the country is farm land, especially around Dryden. One w^onders how the farmers exist under the fumes from the sulphite mill at Dryden. These are very noticeable for many miles around. When we left Kenora there was a threat of vain. When we reached Dryden the threat was carried out â€" gentle rain at first, but before we had gone far a deluge struck us and soon made our fairly good gravel road a series of mud puddles. Detached storms hounded us for a hundred miles or more and made the old Hud- son look like a mud scow. But through it all -A.rt kept the old girl plugging through at around 40 â€" let the splashes go where they may â€" and the windshield got its share. This wa.s the first rain storm we had en- countered on the whole trip. It was I'lonir thi.s stretch where we paid tho hiirhest price for gasoline â€" 37 cents.

Within 18 miles of Fort 'William we come to Kakabeka (•""alls on the Kaministikwia River (ther^ is a mouthful to handle). This Falls is advertised as being higrher than Niagara, but it is little wder than Eugenia, when we saw it. It is wider when water is high. The ^a" IS undoubtedly b<-autiful.

There are no pictures of the complete Fall â€" the photographer can- not get a footing anywhere which would give him a full length picture. Picture post cards of the first drop ind the umbrella are beautiful, but beyond that one has to u.'ie imagina- tion. This river is used for floating down pulpwood. all of which has to go over the Falls. The water is dammed back a fp^ miles until a good supply of water snd loirs is accumulated, then the (rates are opened and the â- sight of tumbling pulpwood over that precipice must be an interesting spec- tacle.

Mr. Geo. Noble of Dui-ham discus- sed the grammar of the new course for Grade 8 in the spirit of the new education, wherein the child is to be considered before the subject matter, especially during that difficult adol- escent period. Miss Oliver thoroughly debated the possibilities of lower school work in a rural school, and the teachers saw the advisability of working towai-ds having this done in a high school. Miss Nellie Gardiner and a number of pupils put on a demonstration of vocal music in public schools, v«hich made many of the teachers realize what they had missed in former days. Miss Elsie Cooper and a primai-y class staged a lesson in word recog- nition, showing how the interest and activities of the teacher are now to be submerged in genuine constructive pupil activity. Enterprises of various kinds were then presented by several teachers as follows: Harold Thompson had con- structed historical excursions; Miss Jack's pupils had worked out i^rojects showing child life in Japan, India, Arabia, etc.; Miss M. C. Ries' pupils consti-ueted a demonstration of the operations >'From 'Wheat to Bread," and also the Easter story; Robert Christie designed • an unique relief map of the world showing air and trade routes etc.. Miss Elder stated the aims, values and methods of enterprises. Miss Mai'jorie McDonald gave an interesting and inspiring account of •'Some First Impressions." She is one of the youngest teachers and has al- ready learned that a teacher must be enthusiastic, optimistic, patient, firm and willing to work. Inspector Pentland closed the first day's activities with his regular topic, "Things in General," all of which the teachers will do well to remember and act upon. Friday's meeting was opened by Rev. Mr. Mcintosh after which Mr. E. Storms demonstrated several Niger- ian customs by the use of various ar- ticles made and used in Nigeria. Mr. Clarence Chappie of Flesher- ton presented outlines and many de- tails for a project in Grade 7 science. His theme was "Science in the Or- chard" and before he was through he had made use of or contributions to every other subject on the course. Correlations of studies was never better shown. Miss Mamie McLoughry of Dun- dalk and a number of her pupils worked out a project on the Pilgrim Fathers corelating art witji .\x-ial studies in a strikingly effective way. Modern discipline was discussed by Mr. Harvey Priddle bringing out the need of self-discipline, harmony and lack of fear. W. J. Messenger in his talk on •Writing'' stated that good writers, if there ever are such, must be made â- n the public schools. He stressed the necessity for correct letter form- ition. legibility, ease, and self-crit- icism on the part of the writer with plenty of practice. The problem of making the teach- ing of health practicable was dis- cussed by J. A. Magee during which he drew attention to the aims and contents of the course and suggested the advi-sability of making the best use of incidental experiences at school and in the community as one of the good ways of reaching these aims. The convention adopted many res- olutions concerning school manage- ment, future conventions and school work in general after which the fol- lowing officersi were elected for the ensuing year to arrange and conduct next year's convention in Flesherton: Honorary president, G. E. Pentlnnd. M.A.. Hanover: president. C. R. Chappie. B.A.. Flesherton: vice-pres- ident. H. Thompson. Markdale: sec- retary-troasturer. J. .A. Magee. Han- sons our vei-y best wishes for success in this business now known as D. McTavish and Sons. CAMPBELL-FALCONER A quiet but pretty autumn wedding was solemnized on Saturday after- noon, October 8, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Haii-y Falconer, when their youngest daugh- ter, Lillian Louise, was united in mar- riage to Mr. Ted Carmen Campbell, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley- Campbell, Rev. Stanley Elliott, the pastor of the United church, having charge of the ceremony. Promptly at four o'clock to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march the bride entered the living- room, on the. arm of her father, and took her place beside the groom under a beautifully decorated arch of aut- umn leaves, flowers and white bells. Her only attendant was her sister,^ Miss Josie Falconer. Mr. Cecil Ma- gee supported the groom and little Dennis Campbell acted as ring-bearer. The bride looked charming in a gown, which was adorned with brilliant dress clips. She wore a bandeau of rosebuds on her hair, and wore silver shoes. She also carried a bouquet of peach-colored Talisman roses with maiden hair fern. The bridesmaid was gowned in a pretty frock of powder blue gorgette with a matching frock of transparent velvet. Her bouquet consisted of maiden hair fern and Talisman roses. The bride's mother wore black net over taffeta while the groom's mother wore a rust colored gown. After the ceremony the bridal party retired to the dining room which was decorated with pink and white streamers and wedding bells. Here a sumptuous wedding- supper w-as sei"ved. The toast to the- bride was proposed by Rev. S. Elliott. The happy young couple received many useful and beautiful gifts. We all join in wishing them a long and happy journey together through life. .At an opportune time the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Campbell was baptized by the minister.
