MRS. JOSEPH GIVLIN
IS CALLED BY DEATH
DUBLIN — Following a prolonged
illness Mrs. Joseph Givlin died at her
home early Thursday morning. She
was born in Hibbert Township al
most fifty-seven years ago and was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mich
ael Dillon. She s-pent several years
of her early life at the home of her
uncle, Milas McMillan, and in Octo
ber 1918, she was married to Jos.
Gilin and went to McKillop Township
to reside. She was a faithful mem
ber of St. Patrick’s church, and of
the Altar Society. 1
by her husband and three children,
Joseph, Mary and Paul. The funeral
was held Saturday morning at St.
Patrick’s Church, Dublin,
Regarding the suggested gas tax
boost Mr. Hepburn said the govern-
men had made no decision and
none would be made for several
months.
(Ontario motorists pay an aver-
jage of 26 cents a gallon for gaso-
iline, including tax,)
The gas tax increase was discuss-
| ed recently when Mayor Ralph
I Day; and Toronto Board of Control
interviewed the premier and wel
fare Minister Cross regarding Tor
onto relief costs.
“We must find some way to as
sist the municipalities since we
have no hope of further support
from the federal government,” the!
premier said. “When, in my last,
budget, I suggested the hope that |
we could reduce taxation further I did not anticipate increased re-j
lief costs and the callous indiffer
ence of the government at Ottawa.
Why the amount of assistance we
get from Ottawa—$46-5,000 monthly
—would not be enough to pay
cost of relief in Toronto alone.

A Pioneer Teacher
In a sketch of the life of the late
George Baird, the dominie of S,S. No.
1, Stanley, published in The Sea
forth Expositor, the writer records
that George Baird was the eldest of
his parent’s family and had to work
on the farm, so his schooling was
confined to a few months in the
winter. “To obtain his first-class
certificate he walked from Stanley
to Goderich, a distance of eighteen
miles, and was there ready for his
examinations at 9 o’clock in the
morning. The examination lasted
from 9 to 4 and was taken orally in
arithmetic! grammar, six books of
Euclid, geography, algebra, history
chemistry, bookkeeping, philosophy,
etc. At 6 o’clock on the same day
he received his certificate and walk
ed the eighteen miles home.” The
reader may reflect that if in these
days education had to be as hardly
won as it was by George Baird, it
might be more highly prized

tion.
The silent grief is the greatest.

‘‘If you drop a subject this year
I don’t know when or where you
will be able to get it,” said Mr. Scott.
“You simply must go on this term
with the idea you will not lose out.”
. He pointed out that year by year
more and more responsibility is be
ing placed on the student with less
personal touch between student and
teacher.
Mr. Scott remarked

in the Province." I am afraid, how
ever, that people will expect too
much of these courses in shop work
and home economics,” said T'
Scott. “We won’t turn out trained
mechanics, carpenters or woodwork
ers. We merely intend to give you
a taste of the work involved in cer
tain trades, We will give the boys
an idea, if they drop academic
courses, of the type of work they
might wish to take up. As for the
girls, when we are through with
them we will guarantee they know
the right fork or spoon to us at the
