CHURCH PICNIC The annual Knox and Freeport United Church congregational picnic was held at Victoria Park, Eik'h- ener, last Wednesday, with 200 perâ€" sons registered.

There promises to be a large enrolment in the Kitchener & Waterloo Collegiate this Fall and with the splendid staff of teachers the students should take full advantage of the opportunities offered them and make a still better showing for 1985. Those who enter Collegiate this year are starting a new educational phase and more adâ€" vanced subjects will be taken up. The excellent staff under the direction of Principal Merritt give to the students the guidance necessary. Much, however, depends on the pupil who must give the necessary application to his work. Many men and women today regret that they did not Aake full advantage of the schooling offered them. We realize that pupils at times feel that school is a tiresome place to spend the time and that some of the subjects seem unâ€" necessary. The student should realize, however, that all the subjects taught have a place in the development of the mind. That is really what school work means. It is well to always keep in mind that the best jobs in life go to those who have the mental development and the educaâ€" tional equipment to handle them.

These Fairs deserve the support of every one in the community. They fill a place that other events cannot fill It may not be as elaborate as the Toronto or London Exhibitions but are good fall fairs and provide a place for the farmers of the district to show their handiâ€" crafts. All this adds to the community life and we bespeak for the fall fairs the support of everyone, not only in attendance but in enterâ€" ing as many exhibits as possible in the various classes. The results for the examinations at the Kitchener & Waterloo Collegiate, which have recently been published, speak highly of the work of principal Mr. R. N. Merritt and his efficient staff and also of the work of the pupils, many of whom secured honor standing. Schools open this week and teachers and pupils â€" who â€" have been enjoying â€" holidays throughout the summer will resume their duties. Many students will enter Collegiate for the first time. The schools in the Twinâ€"City and county offer valuable facilities for students of this district. The effort on the part of the new Ontario government to curtail expenses and relieve the taxpayer of his heavy burden has met with sympathetic approval even by those who opposed the Government at the polls. The debt had increased by leaps and bounds during an era of business expansion and unprécedented road building. The interest on this has to be met now, when the people are least able to pay it. The result is that there has been little criticism of the Hepburn administratioln for instituting economies in administration and in eliminating extravagances. This month Fall Fairs are being held in Elmira, New Hamburg and Wellesley, in addiâ€" tion to school fairs in various sections of the county. Each year the societies have been imâ€" proving these events and the exhibits this year again promise to be of a high order. Fall Fairs fill a valuable place in every community. Not only do they provide the people with an opportunity of gathering to exchange news, views and ideas, but they also provide the opportunity for keeping in touch with friends and neighbors and the acquiring of new lines of thought and hints on agricultural improvement. The directors of the Fall Fairs in the townâ€" ships have made every effort to make the proâ€" grams most attractive, not only to the agrieulâ€" turists but also to those whose interests lie in the urban centres. Splendid prizes have been offered and many attractive features in addition to the exhibits have been arranged. | HEPBURN GOVERNMENT CURTAILING | | EXPENDITURES | THe WaTtaruoo CnronicLs .* TO INSTALL STOKER A SPLENDID RECORD COUNTY FALL FAIRS sUBSCRIPTION RATES ADVERTISING RATES AT KITCHENER Severe cute and bruisea were suf fered by Mias Isabel Mayer of Kitch ener on Thureday, when the car in which she wa«e travelling on the (inelph highway look the ditch raâ€" ther than meet a reckleasly driven auto headâ€"on In < Kitchener police court on|CONVICTED ON DRUNK CHARGE Thursday, the president and manâ€"| Convicted on a charge of being ager of the Concordia Club of |drunk while in charge of a motor Kitchener was freed and no convicâ€"|car, Walter Ligas,.

Premier Hepburn of Ontario, who holds the office of provincial treasurer, has completed arrangements for the flotation of a new loan totalling $47,500,000 to bear interest at the rate of two and oneâ€"half per cent. to yield 2.97 per cent. This is believed to be a record for low interest rate in Ontario. The Journal of the American Medical Asâ€" sociation pays tribute to Dr. A. R. Dafoe, the The new loan is to be applied to the conâ€" version of treasury notes which are now bearâ€" ing an interest rate of 8.8 and 4.5 per cent., thus affecting a saving to the Province of $500,000 interest. The financing of this new loan without the aid of brokers shows clearly that there is not only plenty of money availâ€" able in Ontario for safe investment but that people with money are behind the Government and its declared policy of economy.

The Canadian National Exhibition, which concludes this week, promises to exceed 1933 in point of attendance with the number and quality of exhibits ahead of previous years. From a small beginning, Canada‘s National Exhibition has grown to be the greatest inâ€" dustrial and agricultural display, as well as one of the greatest educational opportunities, in the world. There has been a steady increase in its exhibits and each year interest in it spreads further afield. It is the greatest of all exhiâ€" bitions and attracts hundreds of thousands of people, including many from the United States and other countries. This year, in spite of the fact that we are still a long way from good times, there has been a marked increase in attendance, running into many thousands, and is an indication of a steady improvement in business conditions. This month, the daylight saving versus standard time mixâ€"up will be in evidence in those cities and towns where fast time has been in effect during the summer mnoths. Most of these municipalities will return to standard time the first week in September while others will continue a few weeks longer. What seems to be really needed is conâ€" certed_ action throughout the province for municipalities to adopt daylight saving at the same time, and to end it together. It would cause less confusion among the travelling pubâ€" ~LK",Jm:1ko it easier for people with business conâ€" nections in several places, and in general serve to do away with annoyances to the public. The municipalities in favor of daylight saving would be wise to put it into effect on the last Sunday of April and continue it to the last Sunday in September. The general elections in the Commonâ€" wealth of Australia on Sept. 15 will be of a triangular character. The United Australia party headed by Mr. Lyons, the Prime Minister, was returned in 1931 with a clear majority over all other parties, The Labor party is headed by James Scullen, and the third group is known as the County or Farmers‘ party.

During the month of July, 1984, 11,000,000 lbs. of bacon were exportâ€" ed to Great Britain as compared with 1,300,000 lbs. during July, 1933, the tota) shipments of bacon for the first seven months of 1934 amounting to 81,504,600 lbe. as against 38,787,700 lbs. during the corresponding seven months of 1933. When packing egge for shipment, x good practice is to brush the nand lightly over each filler as it is packed to make sure that no eggs are proâ€" truding above the top of the filjer. Suchâ€" eggs almost invariably will break in transit. Before packing a case, examine the bottom and sides. li uny nails are loose or have fallen out, replace them. Although there are several me: thods of preparing meal mixture« for leeding pigs, the following rules are recommended as safe practices in producing hogs of the desired type: (1) Grind all grain. Fine grinding is recommended especially for young pigs. (2) Soak meal mixture ‘between feede; do not use too much water but feed as a fairly thick slop. (3) Hand feeding is the best method for securing hoge of the desirable type. (4) If necessary, a selfâ€"feeder may be used after pigs have reached the growing stare of development. (5) Keep\;nm, troughs and other feedâ€" ing eqtipment clean. Mouldy or deâ€" caying matterâ€" will cause feeding troubles, and (6) Supply clean drinkâ€" ing. water.
