BEER Main St.Phone 109 EXETER,ONTARIO LETTER BOX Dear Mr. Editor,- We were pleased to notice in last week’s issue of the Times-Advocate that the Horticultural Society invit­ ed all who desired to secure trees for planting to send in their requests at once for them in order that they might be secured foi’ early fall planting. With an apology to the So­ ciety for daring to write this com­ munication, allow me to suggest that these trees be (planted this spring instead of next fall and thus gain a year’s growth. Owing to the cold spring we are having, this is a splen­ did time to transplant trees from the woods as the buds are not burst­ ing yet. time to most no will and the will tend to loosen them in the soil and thus possibdy make a failure of the enthusiastic planter’s work. If trees are uprooted in the fall they should be “heeled in” in a garden until the next spring when they should be planted in their proper place. There­ fore, will it not be wise to procure the trees at once and plant them. 'Some years ago Mr. Fled planted the beautiful maples, rounding his premises after leaves were out, but he took care of them and they did not a setback. For a number of years in the 20’s the Parks Committee se­ cured their stock from Mr. Arthur Francis’ woods on the second con­ cession of Stephen and doubtless the present owner will be just as kind and courteous as the genial Mr. Francis and allow the society to se­ cure specimens there. Thanking you for space, OLD TIMER Also the fall is not a good plant because there is al- growth then. Thus the trees take root until next spring winds of winter assisted by rains to soften the earth, not the fall sway the trees in all directions, May sur- the good have not unknown. j Hoge of the W.

Workman with a good attendance. The singing of the Institute Ode and the Lord’s Prayer were the opening features of the meeting. With Mrs. John McGregor at the piano, all join­ ed in singing several selections. Mrs. J. Turnbull 'gave the Bible reading: Mrs. H. Caldwell gave a report of a recent meeting held at Hurondale, and plans were made for the district annual meeting which will be held in Kippen Church on June 6th. The display of home-made rugs which were designed and worked by Mrs. John McGregor was very much ap­ preciated and deserved the many far vorable comments made, The reports of the various committees were very encouraging and showed that the work of the Institute is very inter­ esting to the members. The piano solos by Miss Ethel Clark and Mrs. John McGregor were much enjoyed. Mrs. R. Simpson then took charge of the meeting and the following of­ ficers were elected to take charge of the work for this year; President, Mrs. G. McLean; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. H. Caldwell; 2nd Vice-President Mrs. W. Cole; secretary, Miss Grace Tremeer; assist, secretary, Miss A. Dinnin; pianists, Miss E. Clark and Miss L.

The secretaries gave en­ couraging reports about their work. Huron increased both its membership and givings during 1938, a total of $13,932,84 being raised. In the Ev­ ening Auxiliaries it was reported that their aim is one new member for every fifteen old ones. Gorrie is the Banner society, as it increased in every department. A new Mission Circle has been organized at Wing­ ham. There are two new and two re-organized Mission Bands. Certifi­ cates for complying with the stan­ dard of recognition were earned by six bands: Winthrop, Brick, God­ erich North Street, Gorrie, Exeter, James Street and Londesboro. Huron stands second in the London Confer­ ence branch in the Supply work, hav­ ing sent 105 bales valued at $3,745. An increase in the -circulation of the missionary monthly was reported. The importance of the influence of women in Temperance and 'Chris­ tian Citizenship was emphasized by the Temperance 'Secretary, while a very clear explanation of the Asso­ ciate Helpers work was given by the Secretary of that department, a wealth of excellent hooks and pam­ phlets was introduced by the Litera­ ture Secretary. Over 2700 calls were made by Community Friendship sec­ retaries. The budget plan for raising finances was highly -commended by our Christian Steward 'Secretary and was well illustrated by Mrs. Greer. It was pointed out that the need was just as great, and the challenge was thrown out “Have we really conse­ crated our money, our ipossession and. our lives?” A pleasing interlude on the program was a reading by Mrs. Walter VanWyck, of Wingham, which was thoroughly enjoyed. xThe morning session closed with prayer by Mrs. 'C. A. McDonell, of Hensail. A novel feature at the noon hour was the “Sandwich Girl” with her posters from the Literature depart­ ment. Mrs. J. D.

A. branches in the Dominion is at Fort Norman in the North West Ter­ ritory, * It is a branch organized by a former Gorrie resident, Mrs. Jen­ nings, who went north as the bride of Rev. H. L. Jennings, an Anglican clergyman, in the summer of 1937. Mrs. Jennings returned home be­ cause of illness in December, but is now looking forward she will again travel 'One of her first of a minister was W. A. branch if it could boast only five members, three whites and two Indians. In spite of’ the absence of their president, Mrs. Jennings be­ lieves the little society is carrying, on the work. The minister’s little wife is looking forward to her return for other reasons. Summer will be in full bloom in Fort Norman and her vegetable and flower garden will be waiting her attention. At Fort Norman winter turns suddenly into summer, and summer, in turn, gives way to winter. There is no sipring or fall. With summer the Indians come bringing their furs for barter, so the regular population of about 5 0 is increased to several hundred. Afternoon Session In the afternoon session “The Challenge of the world to Christian­ ity” was the theme of the worship period, led by Mrs. H. V. Workman, of Seaforth and Mrs. Christie, of Exeter. A very impressive memorial ser­ vice was conducted by Mrs. Hamilton of Goderich, who stated that at this time o’ur thoughts are raised fi’om the seen to the unseen. Mrs. James McCrea, of Chatham, London Conference Branch, the guest speaker, brought a very inspir­ ational message, she spoke highly of Huron Presbyterial and paid special tribute to the small auxiliaries which ■form a large part of oui’ Presbyterial Stating that the missionary work had its beginning in that little group of women who first told of the resur­ rection . This should be a challenge to the small auxiliaries not to grow discouraged, but remain firm. 'She mentioned the contributions made and said we should not think of It as a duty, but as a challenge from God to make Christian (Canadian ci­ tizens. The world needs more of His spirit, more of His love, more of His influence, She stated that the redemption Of the human race rests In the hands of the mothOi’s in the homes.
