Second Folk School Held At Holstein The second Folk S<ahool held in Can- ada, met at Holstein under the leader- ship of art Haas, where, for 9 days, twelve, young people studied together some of the problems youth h'as to face in these trying times. We were one big hhppy family, living together wth a spirit of good will and fellowship permcnating every activity of the school.. A free- dom was built up where everyone could enter the discussion freely and without resei-ve, and thus wo were able to study our problems in a truly democratic manner. Dr. Anne Ross, formerly of Mac- Donald Institute, and matron of the O.A.C. of Guelph, was kind enough to stay witl; us as our hostess. Fi-om her charming personality and wide experience, we gained much valuable knowledge. There were several who visited the school for a day or so. or part of a day, but the twelve registered mem- bers were: A. Haas, leader, Holstein; Ida McGowan, Blj-the; Bill Cairns, Markdale; Nora Shortt, Holstein â- Tanet Wilson, Mount Forest; John Campbell, Mount Forest; Dr Anne Ross, Blythe; Blizahieth Aitken of Hoi tein; Harry Mather of Holsein; Grace Britton; Clifford Allen. Flesh- erton and Austin McKee of Ceylon. Each day began with a devotional period, conducted by Art Haas, after which we either had lectures from outside speakers or we divided into two discussion groups to discuss some subject , After a short discussion in separate groups, we met together and discussed our problems as one group, and tried to reach one definite ans- wer. The outside speakers were: Leonard Harman, leader of the first Folk School in Canada, which was held at Park Head; also the vice president of the U.F.O. of Ontario spoke on public ownership and co-operative business. County Chamber of agriculture and Credit Unions. Vincent Black, Pros. of the U.P.Y.P.O. of Ontario was with us several days and led in many in- teresting discussions. Alex. Simm, who is connected with Rural Adult Education for McGill University, gave us an address on, "The Friends of Rural Society," in which he traced the growth and developement of rural life. Hugh Bailey, President of the board of directors of the co-operative store in Dundalk,, and president of the co-operative Packers, Barrie, spoke on the developement of our local co-operative stores and how we might build up a co-operative health â- nsui-ance. Hugh Bailey and Joe Crutchley. Durham, addressed us in Mount Forest on the subject, "Lack of farm organization," this meeting was sponsored by the U.F.O. and U.F.- Y.P.O. Mrs. McDougall of Holstein outlined the duties of a rural nuree and the benifit such a nurse would be to the community. Gordon McKerracher 'iducational field man for the U.P. 0. Co-operative company of Toronto, stressed the importance of our local i.'o-operative â- sitoivs, operating with *hc central co-operative wholesale in 'Toronto, the co-operative Pi-oducers nd Consumer co-opei"atives with the Vational co-operatives and the co- 'peration of inter-National co-oper- •\tives. Rev. McEwen of Mount Forest 'hiitod Church gave us an inspir- ational address on the relation of re- ligion and co-operation. Mr. Pentland. the public school In- spector explained the changes 'ladc in the new course of study. Mr. f Vicholson, a member of the National \ "hamber of Agriculture, led a very •'diicational study of the Chamber and â- ts relations to the National Chamber â- nd the important part these cham- bers of Agriculture are playing in the •"ai-m indu.stry. This study was os- necially interesting aa we expect in the near future a County Chamber of Agriculture for Grey. The art Kallery in Toronto loaned us a collciction of Canadian art for iiur study, which was led by Art Haas. Miss Aitkens led an excellent study •leriod on "Music Appreciation," show- ing the growth of music, and ex- plainingf the various emotions expres- sed through nvusic. We studied and discuKsed many other subjects and it. would be difficult to decide wherein lay the most important features of the sohool, for the amount of infor- mation that can be gained in a week is linrited, but through our folk school w« did gain a broader outlook on life and I think every member of the Governor-General Diesl More Power Needed Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, died in a Montreal hosital Sunday evening, following op- ations which were perfor) ied to re- lieve a concussion suffered in a fall in his residence at Ottawa. A state fun- eral is being held this Wednesday afternoon. The body will be taken to his native Scotland for burial. In honor of the Lord Tweedsmuir the town flag on market square was flown at half mast. All Canada mourns with Lady Tweedsmuir and family in their hour of sorrow. Weekly Newspaper Has Its Top Peak Load, Too We are glad that there are a few i thoughtful souls in the community who bear in mind that a weekly ! newspaper needs copy on Fridays and Saturdays as well as on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are encouraged ; by the belief that more and more i people are gradually awakening to ! that fact. If people did so. it would help us to produce a belter paper. Many press seci'etaries and other ; contributors, who often might have thi'ir material m a jveek ahead of time, will send it in on Tuesday and expect to have It published. When such material is sent in later than Monday the writer does not need to be suprised if it does not appear. Our staff will do its best to handle late copy but can do just so much. A weekly newspaper has a peek load just as local Hydro has a peak- load. That peak falls on Tuesday, when the weekly's staff has far too much to do. People who do not think of sending in their items of news or their advertising until Tuesday, are contributing to the peak, and are making economical progress of their weekly newspaper very difficult. Our slogan is "a daily newspaper pulished weekly.'' We plan to handli. news of events the day they happen. We set type for our newspaper every day, but we print our newspaper once a week. The Flesherton Advance is your newspaper and you can help to make it better by your sending in your copy early.. A»r Mail Service i Mr. A. M. Gibson, District Direc- tor of Postal Sei-vices, announces that starting February I5th, mail coming off the Canadian Pacific afternoon passenger train from Owen Sound, will catch the Western trans-Canada mail leaving that night. The trans-Canada Air Mail sched- ule has been changed to 10.30 p.m. so that this mail could be put on a- board the plane that night. This means that a letter posted on the 5 o'clock, train leaving Owen Sound will arrive in Winnipeg, Regina or Cal- gary for delivery first thing the fol- lowing morning, and it will be de- livered in Vancouver at lunch time. Many people in this district will take advantage of this :ei-vice. Other days were recalled last week as the session of the Ontario Munici- pal Electric Association witnessed the chairman of the Ontario Hydro Elect- ric Commission urging action on the St. Lawience waterways project. It is some years since pressure in behalf of this plan came from authorities in this province. The history of negotia- tions for the development has been very unusual, with Ottawa, Ontario and the United States interests being alternately luke-warm and enthus- iastic until now, when all three seem. for the moment, to be fairly enthus- iastic. Ottawa's problem at the present seems to be placating the province of Quebec and western provinces, where there is being developed the argument that all of Canada will be taxed for the cost of the big power scheme with the direct beneiits going to Ontario. It will not be surprising if the subject takes its place in the election campaign. If it does, we shall likely see the Federal government asserting in the first place that the development will eventually pay for itself. In the second place, that industrial develop- ment is essential for this country and that what benefits industry in Ontario is of great .value everywhere in Canada. The core of Dr. T. H. Hogg's re- marks on this point in addressing the O.M.E.A. is contained in these words: "This development can hardly be classed as a war measure, for even if it were undertaken tomorrow it would be five years at least before it could become of use. "The scheme now under negotiation ".vas selected with a view to avoiding features which in 1934 aroused objec- tions in the U. S. Senate. From an engineering stahdpoint the plans are sound and lower in cost than those in the 1932 treaty." Incidentally, for those who are in- tei-ested in plotting the expansion of industry in this country, here is what Dr. Hogg said on that score: "We would be men of very little faith if we did not look ahead and prepare for a more bountiful future. In such a future the demands made upon in- dustry will be vastly enlarged, and industry will make new demands on power." Meeting in Flesherton In Interest of Folk School I The Saugeen Folk School is spon- soring an educational meeting in the Flesherton High School on Tuesday, Feb. 20th, at 8 p.m. Art Haas, leader of the school, and W. G. Nicholson, who is a member of the National Chamber of Agriculture, will address us on the County Cham- ber of Agriculture. This meeting is of special interest to every one, as it is hope to have a Chamber of Agricul- ture formed in Grey in the near futui'e. Everybody welcome. Women's Day of Prayer The World Day of Prayer was ob- served in the Baptist Church on Fri- 'lay, afternoon last, and was well at- tended, forty-two being present at the meeting. Mrs. (Rev.) McMillan was leader •"or the service. The world theme be ingr "IN Quietness and Confidence shall be your strength." Prayei's were given by ladies of the different ohuivhes, followed with a short devo- 'ional address by Rev. F. Ashton. During the offertory Mrs. Blackburn â- ind Mrs. \. Henderson rendered an ippropiate duet, with Mrs. D. Will- ams presiding at the organ. The of- •"ering amounted to $4.20.
