My dear Editor; I am aucloaiug a copy of a letter to tlxe Hon, Howard Ferguson re­ garding a* game sanctuary in On- taio. Trust you Will not consider it a presumption on my part to make the 1927 suggestion from this quarter, but I feel I we this to the succeeding generations of Ontario, as we hive seen it work out splendidly in Yours respectfully, Frank W, K, April 19, Howard Ferguson, of Ontario, „ (Ont.) Qgnada. Ohio. Tom 1987 Hon. G, Premier Toronto, Honorable Sit: Greetings from the Senate of Ohio! I tabu the liberty to lay before you a matter of great human inter­ est: the conservation of the wild life of Ontario through the establish­ ment of a game sanctuary; and what I may say I hope you will view The Perfection is the cleanest stove imaginable I You get all the joy of cook­ ing a delicious meal, and there are no sooty pots to clean afterwards.

There h no odor when lighting and it cocks so quickly. I vSe mine for toast and Jt toasts iP even and brotau I can get breakfast on it in as quarter the time It fakes an a wood fire” htri.F.W., Frankford, Ont. simply in the light of suggestion, At the outset I wish.to state the first thirty three years of my life were spent in Old Ontario, and that it is because of a lingering loyalty to the land of my nativity that I address you upon this subject. In all of us there is still some­ thing of the savage. While we eiu joy the privileges and benefits of civilization, yet the wild appeals to ua as something to take us back to the primitive. Not that we would be willing to go back and live the simple primitive life in its entirety <—but yet it has an appeal to the human race in general. On the shores of Lake Huron be­ ginning at Grand Bend and extend­ ing south there is a section of coun­ try about eleven miles long and from one to three miles wide, known as ’‘The Pines,” that is ideally situ­ ated for a game sanctuary. If I am correctly informed, there is at this time no sanctuary in western Old Ontario, and this is the only spot that I know of, available, that has the size, location and topography foi* such a purpose. Unless this generation takes the action which is necessary, the gener­ ations following us will have been robbed of the opportunity to enjoy, in some degree, an acquaintance with the wild life of Ontario as it was when the white man first came upon the scene. Apart from the delight and charm Of being able to view wild life, it seems to me it would be an excel­ lent investment for Ontario as an advertising feature in its appeal to summer tourists, as the Blue Water Highway passes through the full length of this territory. The great touring public today is seeking out the near-to-nature spots, and this could be made an ideal attraction as well as a means of preserving the wild life. In Ohio we have been establishing sanctuaries, and there has been no^ activity of the State that has receiv­ ed greater commendation. Again let me state that it is my interest in succeeding generations and in the grand old Province of Ontario that has led me to address you upon this subject. Yours very truly, Frank W. K. Tom Huron Presbytery OF THE UNITER CHURCH The*May meeting of the Huron Presbytery of the London Confer­ ence of the United Church of Can­ ada was held in McKay Hall, Gode­ rich, on Thursday, April 28th.

So far there has been little action taken by the auth­ orities in this matter and, conse­ quently, some of the farmers have been selling eggs that are not grad­ ed. These people are liable to a heavy fine, and it is thought that action will be taken in the matter at once. A number of those selling ungraded eggs are of the opinion that the act had been done away with, but this is not the case. It is expected that the regulation will be enforced more strongly future.

The work of the superannuation committee revealed that there are eleven ministers who are permanent­ ly superannuated within the bounds of the Presbytery; one minister superannuated for one year, and one left without a station at his own re­ quest. The educational work shows that there are seven students in the Stu­ dent Appendix of the Presbytery; four in attendance at Victoria Col­ lege and three in attendance at Union Theological College. One can­ didate for George Cook, of Fordwich- ceived, and Whitfield, of recommended for ordination at the coming Conference to be held in St. Andrew’s United' church, London. The report of the maintenance and extension committee was given < and showed that the allocation set for the Presbytery had not been met, there being a deficit of about $13,000. This caused a lengthy dis­ cussion because of the seriousness of the situation. Several things were suggested, but as the year would close in a few days it was felt that no plan could be launched to remedy the situation this year. In giving the allocations for each charge for the coming year, Rev. George Telford gave some very help- ftil suggestions as to things that should be pointed out in presenting the claims of this work to the con­ gregation, that while $60,000 seems to be a large amount; yet this is at the rate of only $4.50 per member, while the church on the whole is asked for $6 per member. - Brief reports of the work of the church property committee, religious education committee, life and work committee, finance, committee, evan­ gelism- and social service committee were presented. The settlement committee in re­ porting gave the names of the min­ isters who had hdnded in their resig- nationS: S: Jefferson, Goderich, (Victoria street); H' F. Kennedy, Bayfield; R. A. Lifmjly,■Kippen; L. G. White, Nile.; . J. J. Durrant, Varna; C. Cumming, St. Helens. The following charges have given calls to the following ministers: .Victoria Street, Goderich, M. Parr; St. Helens H. G. Whitfield; Kippen, R. R. Con- norg; Dungannon, J. A. Walker; Ashfield, A. W. Brown. The nominating committee gave its report, which was accepted, and the committees for the coming year are as follows: Evangelism and ’ Social Service— Revs. C. F. Clarke, C. J. Mooreliouse W. F. Smith, J. J. Durrant Messrs. B. W. Carlile. J. W. wein, W. M. Knight. Home Missions.—Revs. M. Bennett, F. E. Clysdale. E. S. cocks, H. F.

Harvey, has asked me for some information, for the public through the medium of the Times-Advocate, regarding the re­ cent planting in Riverview Park, 1 presume because of the interest I have taken therein along with him­ self and others. The site of this pars comprises some ten acres, including 'the river eastward from the bridge, the dam, the expansive sheet of water abo.ve the gently sloping area on the town side as the park proper, and the steep and rugged part beyond the water. A more beautiful natural locatiou for the purpose need not be desired because from the height of land on either side almost the whole park comes under view at once. A number of years ago some public-spirited ladies of the Women’s Institute seeing the possibilities of this area for park purposes began development by planting a number of trees, many of which were wreck­ ed by roaming cattle, through de­ fective fences. Now, however, the park is effect­ ively fenced and a forward step has been taken this spring by the plant­ ing of a thousand or more trees which were furniished free by the Ontario Department of Forestry. These trees are very small and com­ prise the following varieties, White Red, Jack and Scotch Pines; Nor­ way and White Spruce; Cedars, Poplars, Larches, Elms and Willows. Most of the Cedars occupy the steep bank on the far side of the river, while the other varieties are plant­ ed in rows and groups to present as beautiful scenic effect as possible by the planters who strove 'to en­ vision the future beauty of the park. Suitable swamp loam was provided and great care taken in planting in the fond hope that the coming years may fulfil the present promise.The Horticultural Society hope that citizens generally will realize that this is their park, that they will improve it and use it and direct their visiting friends and tourists to it as one of Exeter’s most interest­ ing features and thus boost our home town.

She also reminded the ladies that there will he only nine months in this year iu which to do the work. ’ Miss Consitt presented the report of the resolution committee, and re­ solutions of thanks were extended to all who had assisted in making the convention a success and of sym­ pathy to those who had been bereav­ ed during the year; also a recom­ mendation that each auxiliary hold a special meeting to celebrate the Confederation .Jubilee, Greetings from Presbytery were brought by Rev. Mr. Clarke, of Gode­ rich, the chairman, who spoke of the inspiration which the women's work had given to tile whole Presbytery. The music- foy the afternoon was supplied by Miss Esther Hume, solo­ ist, with Miss Mary Clarke at the organ, The literature table, under the direction of Mrs. Naftel, of Gode­ rich, proved a great'source of edu­ cation and many books and leaflets were taken home by the delegates. The Question Drawer, conducted by Mrs. Telford, of Blyth, -solved many problems which had been .perplexing the delegates. The result of the election of of- officers appeared in last week’s is­ sue of this paper. The speaker of the day, Mrs. A. H. Barker, who lias spent fifteen years in Korea, was greeted by ther audience all standing. She gave a vivid word picture 'of conditions on her mission field, where only one in every 114 Koreans is a Christian. She told the story of the longing ot the Korean women for tlje Gospel, giving some impressive illustrations and stressed the fact that the work of the women at home js just as important as that of the missionary, as they hold the ropes. This ad­ dress was followed with a missionary exercise by eight little girls of North St. Mission Band, which was very pretty and effective. The new officers were installed and a consecration prayer offered by Mrs. Gowans, of Wingham, after which the President closed this most successful meeting with a few words of inspiration and encourage­ ment and thanksgiving. r ansMbi STONE ROOT COMFOUNft? $600 Contest You can win $100 or one of the twenty other caah priaaa by making up a list of word* ' from the thirteen letter* in •’ Nyal Stone Root.

The president, Mrs. Hogg, presided. The auxiliaries of Carlow and Auburn conducted the devotional exercises. x Miss Robert­ son then extended to the visitors a very cordial welcome from the ladies of North street church.' An interesting feature was the roll call of auxiliaries, young women’s aux­ iliaries, C. G. I. T. Groups, Circles, Bands and Baby Bands, the mem­ bers of each who were present standing as the name was called. The reports of the secretaries were received and were most encouraging showing splendid work being done in every department. Miss Esther Hume presented the report of the young people’s work; 3 Y. W. Asso., 13 Mission Circles, 3 C. G. I. T. groups and 2 associated societies, with a total of 572 members, contri­ buting $2,225.05. For next year two new C. G. I. T. groups and two new Circles have been added., The Mission Band and Baby Band work was reviewed by Miss Florence Mooney, who reported 31 Mission Bands and 4 Baby Bands, with a membership of 857 and a contribu­ tion of $1,669.35. Two new Bands have been added. v It was reported byMrs. Johns that 16 auxiliaries have Associated Help­ ers’ Departments, with 214 members who made a contribution of $229.03. This method of interesting shut-ins and' those who cannot 'attend the meetings has been very successful where tried out, and several new de­ partments have been organized for the coming year. The supply secretaries, Mrs. Ven- ner and Mrs. McGuire, showed that bales Had been sent from different auxiliaries to the Indian schools in the West. A very inspirational report was presented by Mrs. Archibald, the* Christian stewardship and finance secretary, who said, “We will never win the world for missions until every church adopts the Christian stewardship plan.” There are 25 auxiliaries who use the envelope system, systematically and who have finance secretaries, and it is note­ worthy that every one of these reached their objective, many ex­ ceeding it. Mrs. Clark, strangers’ seci’etary, spoke on the work which had been done, showing the value of this de­ partment, especially in the larger auxiliaries where so many people come and go. Gratifying reports of the success­ ful sectional meetings were given by the vice-presidents, Mrs. Willis, of Wingham; Mrs. Andrew, of Gode­ rich; Mrs. Mollai'd, of Exeter, add Mrs. McDonald, of Egmondville, and it was decided to continue these meetings annually. The financial statement of the treasurer, Mrs. Gardiner, was most encouraging, showing a total of 118 organizations in the Presbyterial, composed of 63 Auxiliaries, 3 C.G.L T. Groups, 3 Y. W. AssOs., 13" Cir­ cles, 31 Bands and 2 Associated So­ cieties, with a membership of 4,085, THE MELTING POT If women had any sense there would be more bachelors. Some neighbors will borrow7 every­ thing, including trouble. The best way to find your missing­ kinsfolk is to get rich. j The hard thing about making money last is making it first. Love makes the world go round the bend and park in a lane. Lots of people think the world owes them five or six livings. A soft answer doesn't turn away as much as a hard look. Being popular doesn’t leave much time for making real friends. When picking your friends be careful- not to pick them too much. Money may not mean everything but almost everything means money. “Interesting people” are those who take an interest in us. A man isn’t licked until he begins to complain about the rules. Most of the work is done by people who are too nervous to loaf. You don’t have to nurse a grouch very close to make it grow; When in Rome do as 'the Romans do but when in bad don’t do as the bad ones do. Most people who have nothing to do make the mistake of doing it. People who talk in their sleep should tell the truth while awake.
