'The scroiLread as follows:
"Mr, George It Jefferson
"In recognition of twenty-nine
years a service and as Principal
of Clinton Public Sehool:
"The Members of the ihlie
School Beerd Inin in tenderine
you this expression of their
Esteem and Goodwill.
'They congratulate' yen upon
the success that has continued
to attend your efforts through
the years and Cordially, wish.

the yearn to come,
"The Chairman and Members
of the ClintonlPublic School
Board hereby ask you to assume
the position of Principal Emer-
itus.
J. H. lAurplify, chairman."
The cbairman, in his opening
remarks said: "There are men and
women from coast to .coast ir
Canada who had the honor, of be-
ing started on their way by Mr,
Jefterson."
Mayor W, J. Miller, sneaking in
behalf of the Town of Clinton,
said this is a very touching occas-
ion, and "I know that Mr. Jeffer-
son was held in high esteem by all
his students."
Glen Gardiner, inspector of pub-
lic schools for Huron, described
Mr. Jefferson as a wise,counseIlor
a true friend and a good citizen.
The inspector related that Mr.
Jefferson had begun teacning in
1908 which, is a remarkable record
in Ontario education circles.
The principal speaker of the
evening was. Judge Frank Fing-
land; He spoke on the universal
education system as we haveto-
day. "Jeff's span of teaching has
covered one-third of the time that
we have had universal education
in our world," remarked the
Judge. He reviewed childhood up
to school age, and then schools as
we have in the Western world, "In
the hearts and minds of children
everywhere in the world today,
they are seeking education," said
Mr. Fingland.
In addressing Mr. Jefferson, the
Judge said he was at a loss for
words to say What he should say
to him on this occasion. "This is
a sad occasion for Clinton -sad in
the fa,ct that we are losing one
who has been so much of Clinton
I know 'that Jeff feels sad too,"
said Mr. Finetand. Continuing, he
said: "You are one of our most
outstanding citizens, because of
the influence you have had on
the people of Clinton," The speak-
er referred to Mr. Jefferson' at.
legiance to his church, his work,
his organizations and to the town.
Referring to the principal's love
of poetry, Mr. Fingland quoted
portions of two poems.
In replying, Mr. Jefferson said
he very much appreciated what
had been said about him tonight.
"I was more -enthusiastic about
retiring two months ago than -I.,
ani now," he remarked. At times
his remarks were quite humorous.
Referring to children Mr. Jeffer-
son said: "We teachers have to
take all pupils as they are, while
businessmen and others can pick

Assembly Yards
The executive and the special
provisional committee of the Hur-
on County Hog Producers Assoc-
iation have' proposed to set up
assembly yards in Clinton, Blyth
and Hensall and any other place
in the county wherenneeded.
It was decided to advertise in
the county newspapers for the
positions of manager of the as-
sembly points and for suitable
buildings for the assembly yards
which will be under the policy
laid dOwn by the Ontario Hog
Producers Marketing Board. Ap•
plications are also being asked for'
the picking up of hogs at the pro-
ducers' premises, when requested,
and delivered to the assertible
yard.
Results of the Survey being con..
ducted in the county are not coin,
plete but all reports seem to in-
dicate that over 80 percent will be
in favour of the marketing pro-
gram of the Ontario Hog Predtic-
OM Marketing Board. A report
based on the returns from 17'oth-
er counties indicate 91,2 percent
of hog producers in favour ot col-
lettive marketirig.
