It was decided to form a County Branch which would be affiliated with the Ontario organization and all the High School Boards of the County have expressed their willing­ ness to help the Branch successfully meet the situation in our district. Col. Hays told of the success that had already come tu me Provincial Organization since it was organized in 1932 and suggested several ways in which the Huron County Branch would benefit by hearty co-operation with the organization in a better understanding between the schools of the County.

Col. H. T. Rance being selected as chairman and A T. Cooper, as Secretary-Treasurer. The secretary was instructed tc secure information on several mat­ ters of vital interest to the schools and these items will be considered at the next meeting of the County Branch. One of the most Important mo­ tions passed was moved by S. M. Sanders, of Exeter, and seconded by Col. H. B. Combe, of Clinton, and reads as follows: “'That it is the consensus of opinion of this meet­ ing that the salaries throughout the County are too .high and should be adjusted as to become more uni­ form.” The Huron County Council are tc be notified of the new organization and they are to be assured that in all matters dealing with Secondary Education the members of the indi­ vidual Boads will give their best consideration to the suggestions of Council and help to keep Education costs within it’s proper limit. The meeting expressed it’s thanks to Col. Hays and the Exeter Board of Education as well as the Clinton members for their part in bringing the meeting to such a successful conclusion.

SHIPKA (The Young People are ’having their picnic at Ipperwash on Satur­ day the third of June. Some stars are so remote from the earth that it takes 40,0 0 0 years for their light to reach us. It would be cheaper to telephone.—Ottawa Journal.

FLOWER SHOW AT KIRKTON A very successful spring Flower Show was held at Kirkton in the Aberdeen Hall on the evening of Wednesday, May 17th. There was a good show of tulips and varieties of narcissus and othei* flowers there being no premiums at this show.

Adamson, The meeting closed by singing National Anthem Refreshments were provided by the W. Institute of Kirkton at moderate charges. VARIOUS VIEWS ON URBAN AND RURAL PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1.) Schools. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added.” This is the mightiest challenge that is fac­ ing the people of Canada today. When we live these principles we shall not need to organize. No class was ever more highly organized than the Labor class and where are they today? Organization is a state of war. The speaker did not think that the organization of farmers was the way out. The speaker then gave the text for his sermon “What does God require of thee but to do justly, love mercy, and live humbly with thy God.” Miss Ella Link sang a very accept­ able solo. Forum is Held At the close of the evening ser­ vice in James St. United church on Sunday a forum was held in the basement and the present economic situation as it affects urban and rur­ al life came under iconsideration ana some very enlightening facts were brought out. A number of persons from Elimville and Thames Road were present. „ Reeve B. M. Francis was the first speaker and w.as pleased to welcome those present to hear this puzzling question discussed. He stressed the importance of good leadership. W. G. Medd Answers Many Questions Mr. W. G. Medd, M.L.A., was next called upon and in an informal and impromptu way outlined in a very capable manner conditions under which the farmer and the city dwel- • ler found themselves today. There is prevalent a feeling that rural j people are largely handicapped by j the leaders of industry, by manufac-1 turers arid by the men who control I finance. There may be some' justification for this feeling but on the other hand when we think the thing through, the problem may be greater in the city than in the country. There is a greater menace to society .to be found in the city than there is to be found in the country. The person from the coun­ try has a heritage, a training of thought that carries him through strenuous times. One thing that stands out is the way the people of the country have carried on this spring. They have gone forth as'in other years to sow not knowing what may be the returns for, their labor. There is also a feeling that the good things have gone to those who live in the city and that men have used power and prestige to enrich the few to the detriment of the many. Mr Medd stated that while in Torontc he had seen young, 'middle aged and old men, carrying away their food supply from the relief depots Men that should be at work, and that should be paid for their work. And then there is the man on part time earning merely enough to exist These today are numbered by the thousands, but who ever heard of farmers in the bread line. At least the farmer gets plenty to eat. Mr. Medd was asked many questions and there was a splendid good-natured discussion. He does not think that the present economic system will pass away, The system we have may be socialized to'a greater extent and so wofrked out that everyone shall have a chance. As soon as the farm­ er gets something more than a bare living things will start to move. It Was brought out that Christianity is Social. The Church has every right from a moral standpoint to discuss economic questions. It has a place in politics, but that party politics is questionable. A minister should be free to discuss politics from the plat­ form but not from the pulpit. Mr. Medd was asked if he had any solu­ tion to the problem but he hesitated to answer* He had his own ideas as to what would help to bring about better times but the time was too short to discuss them, AU Lilies of Business Feeling the Rincli Mr, J. Hubert Jones was next call­ ed upon and he brought out the fact that it is common practice to envy the other man, He had been talking with a man in the city whom he thought had about an ’ideal job; shortr hours and a good salary. That man had told him that it was the most monotonous job, the same thing over and over with no1 challenge in it. He spoke of a rubber com­ pany that was buying crude rubber at the cheapest price that had ever been paid. The producer of crude rubber is feeling the depression as does the farmer and yet the com­ pany referred to lost eight million ^dollars last year according to their financial statement. He told of p clothing firm in Montreal that haa been doing a .good business for years but that had closed its doors because it could not operate at a 'profit. Rather than operate under sweat­ shop conditions, or face complete failure, the shop was closed and would re-open when conditions had changed. He told of a shoe travel­ ler, who for years linu worked first for the father and now for the son, who had told him that after exper­ iencing several cuts in salary, he was in danger of losing his job—that the firm was carrying on only to give the employees work. This in spite of the fact that hides were the cheap­ est in history. He spoke of mer­ chants who were using their cash reserves as a cushion for the present times. He mentioned that some farmers had followed what was considered at the time excellent ad­ vice, and had drained their land, im­ proved their stock and i.n cases ac­ quired more land at top prices, and with no ready cash to carry them over, were feeling the pinch. The advice given to him by men older in years was to “Keep up your courage and carry on.” Get the Facts Rev. Jas. Anthony, of the Thames Road, who had asked several ques­ tions during *the meeting, Said that he liked a controversery but that nothing was ever settled by controv­ ersy. He gave a number of person­ al experiences of intimate contact with men whom we would consider had gone far in their chosen calling or profession and that the lot or these men were by no means to be envied. He emphasized the fact that the remedy for harsh criticisms was to get the facts. Do not jump at conclusions. Like Mr. Medd, he believed that our present system was the best that has yet been evolved. He was proud of the doctors, lawyers and politicians that were carrying on in spite of the heavy burdens they were carrying. He believed in a healthy localism; in building up your own community. He had found he could trade in Exeter as profitab­ ly as in any place. He had never been in any community where he had been better used and before leaving it he wanted to thank the people or Exeter and the community for the kindness that had been extended to him and his family. But did you ever approach one of these poor-man’s-friend candidates and ask for a little friendly relief.
