Elborn, Former Huron Teacher Named Successor To Tomton Mustard Appointment of H. E. Elborn, gen­ eral editor of text books in the De­ partment of Education, as pricipal of the Toronto Normal School in suc­ cession to Thornton Mustard, victim of the Athenia torpedoing. Tuesday was announced by Hon. Dr. L. J. Simpson, Minister of Education. “For the present Mr. El'born’s ap­ pointments is provisional,” said Dr. Simpson. “In the event, now unfor­ tunate regarded as a remote possi­ bility, that Mr. Mustard shall have survived by the Athenia disaster, Mr. Elborn will return to his former position.’ Dr. Simpson declared the depart­ ment was faced with . difficulty in selecting a suitable successor to one “who rendered such great service to the cause of education in this Prov­ ince as that given by Mr. Mustard. “Mr. Mustard’s name,” he confin­ ed “will always be associated with the changes recently made in the courses of study in the elementary schools of the province. Mr. Elborn was intimately associated with Mr. Mustard in this important undertak­ ing and supervised the preparation of the new text books designed to in­ troduce in practice the principles underlying the new courses of study. Mr. Elborn received his early edu­ cation in Stratford. He subsequent­ ly taught in a rural school in Huron county and in London. “By reason of his experience as public school teacher, inspector, nor­ mal school instructor and because of his close associatioin with the revis­ ion of the courses of study, born,” said the minister, ‘ ently well suited to continue work begun by Mr. Mustard.” A memorial service was held in Toronto recently when a large gath­ ering of friends assembled honor the memory of the late Thornton Mus­ tard.—'Seaforth News “Mr. El- ‘is emin- the CA®J "Th* pure»t fora In which tobocco c«» b« omokeJ" PRESENTATION of very the home honor of Gertrude A miscellaneous shower useful articles was held at of Mrs. Charles Weber in her youngest daughter (bride elect) when her many friends presented her with many beautiful gifts.

Bilious Attacks Liver Complaint Biliousness is just another name for a clogged or sluggish liver. It is a very common complaint, but can be- quickly remedied by stimulating the flow of bile. This softens the accumulated mass, the poisons are carried Out of the system, and the liver and bowels are relieved and toned up. Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken and enliven the sluggish liver, open­ ing up every channel, by causing a free flow Of bile and thus cleansing the liver Of the clogging impurities. They are small and easy to take. Do not gripe, weaken or sicken. Th0 T. Milburn Co., Ltd.. Toronto, Ont. Huron Presbyterial Hold Annual Conference at Grand Bend the the the The South Section of the Huron Presbyterial met in their fifteenth annual conference on Tuesday, Oct. 17th in Grand Bend church. Mrs. H. Powe, of Centralia, vice- president of South Section opened the Conference with the Doxology and leading in the Invocation. The devotional period was con­ ducted by the Greenway Auxiliary. The theme being “Battle for Peace” Mrs. Brophey read the Scripture les­ son from Eph. 6:10-17 with Mrs. Sherritt leading in prayer and Mrs. McIntosh speaking on World Peace. Mrs. Beacom on behalf of Grand Bend Auxiliary very graciously wel­ comed the delegates and visitors. Mrs. Page, of Exeter, very ably re­ sponded. Mrs. C. W. Christie, Exeter, was appointed secretary for the day. Mrs. Page and Mrs. E. Walker were appointed for the Resolution Committee. Mrs. ,C. W. Christie, of Exeter, was elected as delegate to the Confer­ ence Branch from this section. The invitation from Roys Church for the Presbyterial in the fall of 1940 was accepted. It was encouraging to note many interested members at opening session and to absorb various reports. The corresponding secretary of the County, Mrs. Wm. Thompson, Centralia then called the roll of Auxiliaries and from these there came encouraging reports of work accomplished and from many a note of optimism and determina­ tion to reach their allocation. Reporting were 14 Auxiliaries, 5 Mission Circles, 6 Mission Bands, 4 Baby Bands and both Evening Aux­ iliaries. Miss Clare McGowan, Blyth, Mis­ sion Circle secretary, stated she was eager to organize more Circles and stressed the giving of Removal Cards to any Circle girl moving to another locality. The supply secretary, Mrs. Col- clouh, of Blyth, expressed her grat­ itude to the ladies 'for their gener­ ous bales and the time and labour spent on them. Also mentioning she had received many letters ®f appre­ ciation and a letter from Miss Mus­ tard who was so pleased and grate­ ful for so many young peoples help. Mr. Street of one of the far north distributing centres mentioned the need for school children’s clothes. Miss Young, secretary for Chris- itian Stewardship urges that giving i to our W.M.S. enterprise deepens, (widens and lengthens the dimensions of the soul of every member. Mrs. J. M. Southcott gave briefly the report of the School of Leaders, at Alma College, St. Thomas, last August. iStating the school this year was the best yet, and had the largest attendance, thereby proving its worth. So glad that more of the younger women were present this year, and they are our coming lead­ ers of tomorrow. Mrs. Childs, the capable Dean of the School is untiring in her efforts to make it a success. The theme this year being the “Love of God”. Mrs. Southcott urged each one to plan to attend the school next year and each Auxiliary to send one or more dele­ gates from the Mission Circle and C.G.I.T. A quartette of Mesdames, Holt, Mason, Sturgeon and Desjardine sang “Will Your Anchor Hold” and was enjoyed by all. Mrs. McKenzie, of .Seaforth, gave a short review of the various books 'available at the literature table. Mrs. Gardiner, Seaforth, County President, closed the morning ses­ sion with prayer. After a bounteous dinner the Con­ ference again resumed with the de­ votional period in charge of Main St. Auxiliary, Exeter. Mrs. W. Abbott read the Scripture Lesson from Matt. 5:43-48 and Mrs. Penrose led in i prayer. A very appropriate solo was (beautifully sung by Mrs. Tieman, of 'Dashwood. A vocal duet “God’s Way is the I Best Way” by Mrs. Dan Lewis and Mrs. Craven of Brinsley delighted the audience. A reading “The Touch of the Mas­ ter’s Hand” by Mrs. Rufus Turnbull Grand Bend was well received. Mrs. ,H. D. Taylor, Foreign Mission Secretary of the Dominion W.M.S. ^nd a former member of the Huron l Presbyterial Executive was the guest [speaker. Mrs. Taylor was one of Seven delegates to the International I Missionary Council held at Madras, iIndia in December, 1938. <On her way to Madras, Mrs. Taylor spent two months visiting the W.M.S. Mis­ sion stations in Angola, Africa and four months in central India. She compared the Christian and the non­ Christian villages showing the great results of the Missionary enterprise in these countries and the great op­ portunity that is opn for still greater effort. Mrs. Taylor spoke of the in­ spiration of that gathering at Mad­ ras of 470 delegates from 69 differ­ ent countries, differing in their cus­ toms, their languages, their histor­ ical background, their culture and their religion yet assembled with two great thoughts in common— their personal loyalty to Jesus Christ and their belief that Jesus Christ is above all and adequate to every sit­ uation ‘— even the present chaos in i I Resolutions from the W. C' T. U Convention coun-. Chris- I world am a me if we have closed aflame, which we find ourselves. The thought was stressed that any area of life that is not Christian is a missionary feld and wherever there is a living church there is a home base. It is impossible to speak of Christian and non-Christian tres for no country is entirely tian. The task of winning the is up to each one of us. “I baptized Christian — woe is I preach not the gospel. 90 per cent, of the growth of the church in India is due to the witnessing of its mem­ bers. Mrs. Taylor said “We couldn’t help but feel the lack of witness in the Home .Church.” Again and again the delegates were conscious of war (China-Japanese war, Spanish war and )he present war in the offing) and realized the fact that if Christians had done all such a situation could avoided. Mrs. Taylor the challenge “O mighty .God, set us To show the glory of Thy name. Questions pertaining to our cation and the relation of the Auxil­ iary to the work of the Red Cross were discussed at length and proved of great information and benefit to the delegates. The Red Cross work should be extra so that the mission­ ary work should not suffer. The Courtesy Committee expressed their appreciation of the convention to Grand Bend church for their hos­ pitality and to the guest speaker, Mrs. Taylor and to all who hi any way helped to make the convention a success. They also brought in a resolution for renewed consecration on the part of each and every one of our women—knowing that only as we take this great task seriously can Christianity triumph. The Conference closed with benediction by Mrs. Beacom. 1. We ,the White Ribboners of Ontario, in convention assembled, wish to express our gratiture to our 'Heavenly Father for His guidance and help in service for His kingdom, ; entrusted to us during the year. Resolved, that in these days of special stress to which we have come we keep in touch with Him who supplies our needs, by earnest prayer and the use of God’s word. After a ! crisis this year as to whether the Lord’s Day should be thrown open ' for pleasure and profit, it still stands for quiet and worship. We deeply appreciate this. Let us use the day to strengthen our spiritual life for service in these strenuous days. | 2. Having been specially favored/ this year through the visit of their gracious Majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, we again af- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 th, 1930 we as could been with firm our allegiance to our sovereigns [and more earnestly and lovingly re- | member them in prayer that God .may abundantly bless and protect .' them. 3. Whereas the successful opera- . tion of a democracy depends upon an informed, enlightened and intelli- , [gent public opinion, and whereas it • is .obvious that there is more likeli- , hood of establishing an effective and enduring peace system at the con- delusion of present hostilities if there is a wide, popular understanding of what such a system involves. Be it resolved that we advocate and support the formation of study groups, to examine the underlying causes of war in the contemporary world, and the requirements of a just aud lasting peace system, so that our citizens may be fitted to support their representatives in their efforts ito bring about such a peace. I 4- jlated and enacted not only to pre­ vent and punish the acts of criminals but also to protect physical and mor­ al strength, which are menaced by existing evils, and whereas the drug menace is increasing to an alarming extent as a contributing force to criminal tendencies be it:— Resolved, that we re-affirm our stand in endorsing the action of all those in authority who are seeking to curb this national menace. 5. Believing that gambling is not in harmony with God’s will for our lives. I We urge that members of our or- . ganizations abstain from all forms of I gambling and that we call upon ■ those in authority to rigidly enforce the existing gambling laws, making ' no exceptions, in case of churches, service clubs and other social clubs. :Also that we protest against any change in existing laws governing I the promotion sweepstakes. i 6. Whereas the well-nigh crim­ inal waste of food-stuffs in our or­ chards and gardens is appalling at a time when women and children are deprived of these most inexpensive and basic food supplies, while relief bills constantly mount higher. Be is resolved that we deplore that neither communal nor government effort has been instituted to restore the evaporation plants, in order that such food supplies may be available for relief committees at small cost. 7. Recognizing the benefits ac­ cruing from the sessions of the i School of Leaders already held. Resolved, that we extend fgratulations to our Executive, express the hope that yeai’ by this work may be extended, as cir­ cumstances permit. 8. The support of our Travellers’ Aid Department and Workers is in part met by the cash value of cou­ pons of various products. Resolved, that we accept with ap­ preciation the offer of the Lawren- son’s Snow Flake Ammonia Com­ pany of London, Ontario, and in­ clude,their product among those (bringing revenue coupons to Wil- jlard Hall, Toronto. We thank the Manufacturer for his offer of one half cent per coupon (the top of the box) and recommend the use of this product the women our our province. allo- the DEFENCE OF CANADA REGULATIONS, 1939 Regulation No. 39.

A steep reduction in the Irish and Scottish popuation has been the major contribution in dragging the county’s population down from 76,- 526 in 1881 to 45,180 in 19.31—the most drastic population reduction of Western Ontario county. Population sank until 1933 since when it has undergone a steady increase, an in­ teresting reflection of the county’s back to the land revival, particularly in the southern part. There are rem­ nants of historic French and German communities. Huron is one of the most important of the agricultural counties and has the highest poult­ ry population. Approximately a quar­ ter of Canada’s total salt production is estimated to come from Huron.
