near Blenheim the previous Friday
night. Mr. Marsh, assisted by his
son John Marsh, published one of
the most widely read of the Ontario

The annual hot roast fowl din
ner put on by the Women’s Assoc
iation Of Brucefield United church
was an event of last Thursday ev
ening and based on previous years
record it was conservatively estim
ated that from fifteen hundred to
two thousand people sat down to
relays of 300. Tables were set in
the church shed which was decor
ated for the occasion with autumn
flowers, foliage, evergreens, flags
and streamers. Autumn flowers
were also used for table decorations
The shed was constructed to ac
commodate the large membership
of the church in horse and carriage
days and is ah immense place. It
is used now for storage of fuel and
unused church belongings. With
the walls murescoed in white and
the great beams covered with dec
orations it makes an ideal banquet
hall. The dinners were formerly
served in the church ‘basement but
the annual event has grown to such
proportions in attendance that they
cannot be accommodated there
One year ago the attendance
eeeded fourteen hundred and
year preparations were made
hundreds more.
After this dinner a fine program
was carried out in the auditorium
of the church, including two reels
of moving pictures "On Guard for
Thee’’ a naval and aviation reel and
a southern reel "Picking Cotton.”
The musical program included
solos by Mr. Attridge, Goderich and
Mr. Rennie, of Hensall; piano by
Mrs. A. Johnson and Mrs. W. Mc
Beth and songs by radio entertain
ers Margaret and Gladys Collins.
The pastor af the church Rev.

Kippen is today a
hamlet on No. 4 highway but for
some years when the country was
first settled Kippen was just a
nameless crossroads, and so it might
have remained had not the settlers
of Tuckersmith and Stanley town
ships felt the need for a post office
in the community.
Robert Bell, of Tuckersmith was
leader of the movement to secure
postoffice at “the corner.” When
became known that Lord Elgin,
the Governor-General, and the
master-general were to visit
don, the settlers decided to
this opportunity of bringing
master of a postoffice before the
officials. Robert Bell was appoint
ed a delegate to London in the hope
that he might be able to obtain an
interview.
We of the present day know little
of he difficulties of communication
of those early days and we read with
pleasure that Mr. Bell experienced
no difficulty in obtaining an inter
view and that his request for a
postoffice was granted.
Mr. Bell was almost overcome
with joy. The settlers had not only
dared hope for an interview and
Bell had not only obtained that,
but also the promise of a post of
fice in the near future.
The official spoke again: "And
what would you like to name the
post office” he inquired.
Bell had not been deputed the
honor of naming the new office.
He wondered a minute and sug
gested Sterling, the name of the
county in Scotland from which he
had come.
It was the
der. Then he
ing might be
the settlers from other counties.
"Would Mullingar not be a
suitable name,” inquired
ial.
"That's too Irish to
Scotchmen,” Bell flashed
then wondered at his own audicity
in his squelching the official's sug
gestion. When he stood confused the
postmaster-general spoke again.
"Perhaps, then, you could sug
gest another name?”
'The sturdy iScotch settler’s
thoughts ran around in circles. To
save his life he could think of no
name save that of his native vil
lage in Scotland, but he was afraid
that it, too, might be too Scotch.
The official was a kindly man
who did not look with disdain upon

"Can you

Two "on-coms” were doing the,
art gallery. They paused before a>
masterpiece with the identifying pla-(f
card, "By Sargent.” The three-,
striper turned to his double chevron-
ed buddy and whispered: "Why, it,
isn’t the work of a first-class pri-1
Vale!”
On the sidelines stood a crowd of
seasoned farmers. It was a class
for non-plowers and the farmers
had been having their laughing
spell at some of the awkward squad
including ourself. But when J. W.
Ortwein and some of the other old-
timers went down the line behind
the real old-fashioned walking plow
the laughter had disappeared and
in its place there came words of
admiration and respect, climaxed
by a hearty applause at the con
clusion of the performances. Mr.
Ortwein, who appears to be in the
best of health told us after his
round that lie hadn’t touched a
plow in some sixty years and ad
mitted quite frankly that he really
enjoyed the little trip of a few rods
behind a team of horses.
Hats off to the folk of South
Huron who put on the plowing
match each year. Everyone seemed
so friendly to everyone else that
the spirit of friendliness couldn’t
help but become a contagious mat
ter. There were the old-timers
leaning against the canes, enjoying
their pipes and there was every
thing in between them down to
the school children who seemed
more interested in having a good
time than in admiring the plow
manship of the day.
One of the older spectators to
take a hand in the novice class was
78-year-old John Allison of the
Thamqs Road. You could tell just
as soon as he started to strike down
the furrow that a careful hand was
at work right there and upon in
quiries, suye eonugh he was a prize
plowman of thirty-years and forty
years ago. Mr. Allison recalled
that the last match in which he
took part was held in Usborne
thirty-five years ago. There wer°
eight in the class and besides win
ning first place he won the specials
for the best crown and finish. Which
of course, is like taking home the
bacon, when it comes to taking top
honors at a match. Mr. and Mrs.
Allison marked their golden anni
versary on Wednesday and were a1:
home to a large number of friends
and acquaintances.
The best-admired plowmanship
of the whole day was the work of
Austin Nairn, young Munro farmer,
whose name is generally at the top
of the list in the plowing matches
in Western Ontario. Austin turned
in first class work Thursday and
was awarded top showing in his
open class, along with both the
prizes for crown and finish. Harold
Carter, St. Marys, has been doing
well again this year, winning top.
honors in recent matches in the
Lambton and Kent districts.
An interested spectator at Thurs
day’s match was Charles E. Taylor,
of Richmond, Que. This is the first
visit to this part of the country and
he is just on his way back home
after a rather extended visit to dif
ferent parts of Canada, right thro’
to Vancouver. "I never realized
what a country we live in. Of course
down around my part of the coun
try of Quebec there isn’t much dif
ference to this part of the .country
but I believe the tractors are more
plentiful here,” he commented.
This business of raising funds
for the Red Cross .Society is quite
a thing. At the South Huron plow
ing match Thursday, representatives
of the Hensall Red Cross Society
were around the grounds selling
chances on a pair of pigs, which of
course were on display nearby. Late
in the afternoon the stubs were mix*
ed up and the pigs were won by
Dave Robertson of Goderich. He
immediately announced he would
turn them back to the Red Cross
for public auction and sure enough
they were sold to the highest bid

ATLANTIC FLYING BOATS
COMPLETED FIVE FLIGHTS
This year five trans-Atlantic
flights ’were made by the Airways
Atlantic Limited of the British
Overseas Airways. The flying boat
Clare crossed the ocean four
times and the Clyde once, in spite
of the Avar and without mishap.
Captain J. C. Keddy Rogers and
Captain J. P. Kir ton were the skip
pers.
Among the passengers carried
were Capt. H. H. Balfour, M.C.,
M.P., Under .Secretary of State, Bri
tish Air Ministry: C. R. Fairey,
the airplane manufacturer; Major
R. H. .Mayo, designer of the "pick
aback” plane, Mercury-Maia; and
Air Marshall W. A. Bishop, X.C.,
the Canadian ace of the last war.
The Trans-Canada Air Lines, as
agent for British Overseas Airways
was responsible for shore arrange
ments at Boucherville, the. seaplane
base on the St. Lawrence River
near Montreal. The T.C.A. made
arrangements with the Depart
ment of Transport for provision of
buoys and moorings, for radio com
munication and for weather reports
provided transportation for the
passengers between base and Mont
real, gave, them refreshments and
looked after their tickets and their
laggage. The T.C.A. also handled
mail and express, most of which
was diplomatic material.
The Clare and Clyde took off
from Poole (Southampton) crossed
to Foynes, Erie, and then flew the
Atlantic to Botwood, Newfoundland
The next stop was Boucherville,
with New York as the final destin
ation. On the return trip, the fly
ing boats stayed over night at Bou-
cherville and set out in the early
hours of the following morning.

In its fight for the first O.B.A.
Championship in the history of
Hensall, Stan Tudor’s team defeat
ed the Toronto Clumbus Grads be
fore 80:0 fans in the second game
of the play-offs at Hensall
day of last week.
The Grads won the first
the series at Toronto. On
day at Hensall they never were in,
the picture. Hensall teed off on
three Toronto pitchers, scattering
extra-base hits all over the park.
The home team scored three runs
in the third innings, and got three
runs in each inning after that, up
to the seventh. They skipped the
seventh, but made up for it in the
eightlf'by getting four runs.
The hard-hitting Duff Brown,
Hensall’s second-sacker, contribut
ed a three-base hit and a pair of
singles, driving in three runs. Gibb
Stade got two doubles and two sin
gles, driving in three, and the Rev.
William Weir, came through with
three hits that drove in four runs.
Jack Tudor, Hensall’s third base
man, banged out a pair of two-base
hits.
Carter Kerslake, former Strat
ford National pitcher, hurled steady
ball for the home team, and seldom
was in trouble, That his mates play
ed fine baseball behind him was
shown by the fact that Hensall turn
ed in four double plays.
Weir figured in one of
ter Kerslake, Stade and
tributed another, Weir
accounted for a third double kill
ing, and Stade staged one unassist
ed.
The October meeting of Caven
W, >M, S. was held Thursday last
at the home of Miss L. M. Jeckell.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. F. W. Gladman opening with
the call to prayer. Miss M. Weekes
led in the worship period. The min
utes of the previous meeting were
approved as read and arrangements
made for the Thankoffering meet
ing to be held in November.
Miss Hatter reported on the Sup
ply allocation for the coming year
which was accepted, Mrs. Cann re
minded the members that their re
newal subscriptions to the Glad
Tidings were due in November. Mrs.
Sillery gave 'Current Events. Mrs.
Whyte, Mrs. Sillery and Mrs. Cann
were in charge of the program for
the evening which consisted of a
survey of the year’s work of the
W. M. <S. compiled from their own
Blue Book -which proved most in
teresting and instructive to all
present. Some of the high lights
were the givings of the Mission
Bands amounting to $10,758.00
which is more than sufficient to
support the Abbe Memorial Home
for Children and also the givings
of the Home Helpers totalling $11,-
527.00' for the past year. As Cus
tomary, a social half hour was en
joyed at the close of the meeting.

of the laboratory. He will have at
his disposal in Belleville the facil

is the largest and best equipped in
stitution of its kind in the world.
The reason for ,Mr. Thompson’s,
transfer is that since the occupa

by Germany, it has become impos
sible to collect insect parasites for
propagation and distribution to
Empire Countries. Canada and the

which he has been
years at Farnham Royal. His work
at Belleville will be carried on for
the benefit of all parts of the Bri

Dr. Thompson was born at Bel
mont, Ontario, and is a graduate of
the Ontario Agricultural College.
For several years he was on the
■staff of the Bureau of Entomology
United States Department of Agri
culture. In 1912 he went to Italy
