Read Barometer Hourly Canada’s Master barometer, 101 years old, is being read every hour now, instead of twice a day as it was for an entire century. The change in program for the barometer, housed in the Dominion Meteorological Bureau there, was necessitated by the start of regular schedules by Trans-Canada Air Lines. To it are calibrated all the barome- ers that go out to weather stations across Canada. The only signs of wear on the old instrument have been made by the official reader’s finger as he has touched twice each day the height the mercury has reached. —'London Free Press GODERICH GIRL TO SEEK PILOT LICENSE Harbour Fly- is a member Irene Pellow, girl.

Hay & Stephen Twps. to Have Short Courses and and and veterinary sci- insects, public livestock and The young ladies will Short courses in farming home economics for young men women respectively, in Hay Stephen Townships, will be held, in Dashwood from January 3rd to 27th inclusive. It will be the first time short courses have ever been held in Dashwood and village and township officials have pledged their whole­ hearted support in making the courses successful. Young men who attend the course will receive instruction in poultry, swine marketing, soils and fertiliz­ ers, weed control, ence, control of speaking, debating, field crops, be given instructions in foods, nutri­ tion, household management and clothing. It is expected that at least 50 young men and as many young women from Hay and Stephen town­ ships will attend the classes regul­ arly. This week’s meeting to consider the possibiity of holding the short course in Dashwood was called by Agricultural Representative James C. Shearer. Among those who at­ tended were Reeve Chester Mawhin-' ney and Deputy Reeve Ed. Lam­ port, of Stephen; Reeve Geo. Arm­ strong of Hay township; Councillors Max.

The worship service was conducted by Miss .Hartnoil. >nere was a fair attendance of members tors from Hensall. The C. W. Christie, gave a hensive report of the cial Convention held in Centenary United Church, Hamilton, October 4th to 7th. Mrs. John Wright, the provincial president presided, with 152 registered delegates. We can only give briefly here some of the high lights of this convention. There were thirty different departments reported by their respective superintendents and secretaries who gave very en­ couraging reports and all were very much enthused with the work their department had accomplished. Re- ferundum on the liquor control ques­ tion was described by Dr. A. J. Ir­ win, general secretary, Ontario Tem­ perance Federation. He claimed that the intelligent Christian people of the province have no chance to ex­ press their opinion except through politics. “We have no political bia­ ses,” he said of the temperance workers. Temperance workers and the people who were trying to achieve moderation, were dealing with com- merical interests, which he describ­ ed as “powerful” and “ruthless” and this was the prevailing situation in the province, the Country and the continent. He spoke of the revenue which liquor control brought to the province, but questioned the motive behind the system. Mrs. John Wright in her presidential address cited so­ cial drinking as one of the present day problems and made an appeal for building up a line of defence for the young people and providing adequate scientific education to offset the ap­ peal of drinking. Dr. Little spoke of the Ontario Government cabinet as “swift and sure” in their social sympathies and expressed the hope that at the next session of the On­ tario legislature the cabinet would recommend that the beer and wine policy be revoked. Dr. Little also criticized the department of agricul­ ture for sending out receipts on the art of making home-made wine. He deplored the number of habitual wo­ men drinking in Ontario, which he estimated at approximately 200,000 and spoke of the 2,0 00 women ar-, rested in Ontario in the last four years. The evening programs were very interesting with a public speak­ ing contest, and several selections at one program were given by six chil­ dren on the hand bells. Miss Hart­ noil closed the local meeting with the benediction. The November meet­ ing is to be held at the home of Mrs. C. W. Christie. Repaying the Cost How long does it take the average child to repay society for the cost of his rearing, i.e., haw many years does he require to earn an income sufficient to balance the amount ex­ pended on him during the period of his earliei’ dependency? Although the young man would be unable to repay the $5,750 by the time of his marriage, at the age of 27, the com­ bined earnings of his wife and him­ self equal at age 31 the principal outlay for their rearing but do not account for the interest which has accumulated thereon. The average man in Canada was earning $927 in 1930-311 which meant that he would have had to spend his total salary for six years to repay the expense incur­ red by society in rearing him for his first eighteen years. In the provinces where there are more children in proportion to the rest of the population, their cost must fall more heavily on the com­ paratively smaller adult population. This is reflected in the shorter aver­ age schooling of children in these provinces, Quebec, which has the largest proportion of its population under 18 years of age (43.27p.c.) has the lowest average school attendance (7.78 years) while British Columbia and Ontario, with only 30.11 and 34.61 p.c. of their respective popula­ tions undei’ 18 years of age have an average length of attendance of 9.15 and 9-20 years respectively. Rural families are larger in size than, are urban, (3.22 children per average rural family to 2.68 per ur­ ban) but many rural children go to the cities as they reach maturity. This trend is a steady one, 50.14 p.c. of the population at 110 years of age living in rural districts as compared with 41.26 p.c. at the age of 30. It would appear that apout 15 p.c. of the rural-raised children become ur­ ban dwellers. 'Since schooling amounts to only 13 p.c. of the total cost of raising children, it is of in­ terest to ’note that if urban dwellers paid the entire cost of schooling all rural children, they would only be l paying the equivalent of the cost of rearing those who in adult years be­ come their residents and supporters.

The windstorm of September 21 and 22 was estimated to have blown down from 15 to 20 per cent, of the crop in exposed or­ chards fron Oshawa East.
