The wistfulness in the speaker’s tone Xvas caused by his lately having revisited the swim­ ming hole and having found it so much less extensive than it had seem­ ed to him 45 years before. In fact, one native son, not the slenderest, found he could no longer get proper­ ly under water in what had' once seemed to him so large a lake. Leek-eating was a, memory all the Tuesday night banquetters seemed to have in common and in feeling tones this was discussed. Not so fun­ ny was the recollection that there had been no eight-hour day in Hur­ on, nor any 10-hour day. Nutting ex-: cursions were talked' of fondly and respect was paid to the memory of Devonshire cream on top of apple pie dessert nonpareil, and to the memory of apple cider. How the forefathers had got around in the days when there were no roads through the forests was a mystery; and now the wheat got car­ ried on men’s backs to the distant mill and the grist got carried home the same way was a further mystery. That some of the settlers, having no money and ho implements but an axe; existed at all was nothing lees than a miracle. But days had been reached when those who once travelled summer and winter in ox-sleds made ait home with an axe and an agur reached the grandeur of top buggies; and when school houses, that boasted at least a box stove, a blackboard, a pointer and a strap were built. Maple suger making, quilting bees, logging bees and barn raisings were experiences recalled by the older persons pres­ ent. ' Gardiner, Martin Speak E. O. Walker presided over the banquet. Premier Gardiner and Hon. Mr. Justice Martin took care of the toast to Huron, sketching its history from 1184(1, the year the county was formed, and even going back to' the year 177i3 when a few men had ar­ rived at Halifax on the Hector, drift­ ed inland as far as Huron. Goderich was founded in 18)27 In which year Col. Van Egmond, the great grand­ father of W. G. Van Egmond, of Re­ gina, began the building of a road' from Guelph to Galt. Mr. Gardiner and Judge Martin were each given a splendid reception. .Special applause followed Prem­ ier Gardiner’s statement that 1'5 car­ loads of donations had come this year to Saskatchewan from Huron county. In the last .three years 463 ■earloads of gifts had come to Saskat­ chewan from Ontario, the gifts in­ cluding 2i50 ton of clothing. Mr Kerr, who was down for ‘‘Rem­ iniscences,” said he had left Huron at the age of three and his memories of Huron had .to do chiefly with an •ancient black walnut chest in which hi.s- grandmother had kept cookies. He had praise for the pioneers with their sense of duty and self denial. Mrs. Lindsay, a native of Wingham, cleverly narrated a 12th of July in­ cident, 'The guests numbered 141. Rose and gold chrysanthemums in crystal bowls graced the tables with six or seven gay balloons lending further color. Mrs. H. G. Hicks was chairman of the social committee. Sam Swayze directed community singing, with Allan Swayze furnishing splendid accompaniments. David Mills accom­ panied Grant Waddell, whose .har­ monica selections made the big hit of the night, winning three encox’es. For one number, a hoedown, per­ formed with feeling, the whole house helped with the accompaniment. H. G. Hicks gave pleasure with the vo­ cal solos, “Friend 0’ Mine” and ‘Sing |M'e a Chanty.” Jack LaPointe, introduced as a musician a,nd magician, gave the house a free lesson in juggling, turn­ ing an honest penny at card tricks, and playing tenor solos on a hand­ saw. Mr. LaPointe, with Bill Kirby guitar and Buster Totten, violinist, gave a few fine numbers without the handsaw. Souvenirs Presented Presentation of a walking-stick was made to A. E. Hodgert, who was instrumental largely in having the Huron old Boys’ Association form­ ed. Souvenirs were won by Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Gardiner as being the oldest persons present. Each is over SO.

Mr. and Mrs. George McKay, Dr. Wood's ,, fiorway Pine Syrup “Only a Trifling Cough I’ll Soon be Rid of It” Thousands have said this; thousands have neglected the cough; thousands have suffered from some form of bronchial trouble because of this neglect.

CHEESE IN SUPPER DISHES Cheese is not a seasonal food, .but the high percentage pf fat which it contains makes it a particularly val­ uable food to use during the cold weather when the body requires ex­ tra heat. Its protein content should not be overlooked for cheese is one pf ft limited number of economical food© which provides the body with the necessary tissue-building mater­ ial. During th.e coming months the supper problem may be solved by preparing such nourishing,* appetiz­ ing cheese dishes as: Escalloped potatoes With Cheese Wash, pare and slice very thinly, meditm sized potatoes. Butter a baking dish and place a layer of po­ tatoes in bottom. Beason with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Cover with grated cheese. Repeat un­ til dish is full.

According to the latest statistics, every Canadian in 1933 used' 119 pound© of soap, or 68 pounds for each family. The total production of all kinds of soap in Canadft in 193131 was i'|9,X/27,62.4 pounds, val­ ued at $.12,268,376 at factory prices. There is a heavy demand' for in­ formation from £he Dofniniom En- tomplogical Branch on such subjects as improved ©prays for household insects, moth-proofing chemicals and cleaning applicances, notably vacuum cleaners, in. eliminating and control­ ling clothes moths and carpet bettles. Up to the end of October, the number of pedigree certificates reg­ istered in 1934 with the Canadian Live Stock1 Records and approved by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture was 2,200 horses; 27,0h|0 cattle; 6,98’5 sheep; 6,110 swine; 8,4117 foxes; 6,297 dogs; 1,161 poultry and 87 goats. Working in co-operation, the three divisions of the Health of Animals Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, are jointly concerned in safeguarding the health of live stock and the .maintenance of foreign mar­ kets and export meat trade. Every precaution is taken to prevent the entrance of disease from foreign countries and to maintain the health of the domestic stock. The problems of contagious diseases are constantly studied with a view to meeting new conditions and improving methods of control.'
