Minister For 47 Years,
Rev, G. Burton Retires
The Rev. G. G. Burton, M.A.,
B.D., who has served the Cen
tralia and Whalen United
Churches for four years, gave his
farewell address to both con
gregations on Sunday morning,
taking as his theme “My Exper
ience in the Ministry.”
Mr. Burton, who is retiring
after 47 years in the ministry,
may take a charge later on if
his health permits as there is a
shortage of ministers to carry on
the work of the United Church.
After teaching school for three
years, Mr. Burton spent his pro
bation period in a 200-mile terri
tory in Labrador for one year
and ill Newfoundland for a year.
The next six years were spent at
McGill and Wesleyan Theological
College.
After being ordained in Theol
ogy at Gananoque in 1915, Mr.
Burton completed his Arts and
Theology course in 191G with a
B.A., B.D. degree.
He spent the next four years
overseas as a lieutenant in the
artillery during World War 1.
Returning to Canada in 1919,
Rev. Burton ministered to Mont
real charges for eight years. His
next call was to Windsor, where
he spent five years, leaving there
for Clinton where he preached
for 10 years.
Accepting a call to Moorefield
in the Hamilton conference and
from there to Centralia, Bev.
Burton has served in four con
ferences.
Mrs. Burton, who was also a
school teacher before her mar
riage, has worked with hex- hus
band through his many years in
the ministry and has taken
active part in the women’s
ganizations in the churches
has served.

• That’s the verdict of those who know combines. If
you always have clean, upstanding crops, you may not
really need a combine so capable as the Case "A.” But
for small seeds like clover, that take real rubbing to
thresh, out ... or a brittle crop like beans . . . or? fine,
fluffy seeds like some of the grasses ... or’ even grain
that is tough to thresh, the "Aw is in a class by itself.
Enrolment Down
In Kindergarten
Exeter Public School Board ex
pects a considerable drop in
kindergarten enrolment next Sep
tember. About 50 pupils gre ex
pected, compared to the present
enrolment of over 70. ‘
Earlier the board estimated an
enrolment of about 75, based on
the assessment figures which
showed that 225 children would
reach kindergarten age in the
next three years.
If only 50 register this coming
year, it may mean that
be exceptionally large
the next two years.
The board discussed
ing of the school grounds. The
old coal shute has been removed
and more grass has been sown.
’Tenders for the painting of the
1938 school were opened but due
to confusion concerning the work,
no tender was accepted. They will
be reviewed later.
Contrary to rumour, no change
Ims been made in the regulation
affecting kindergarten registra
tion at Exeter Public School.
All children born any time
during 19 49 are eligible to be
registered. ’The school will not
accept any children born after
1949.

There’s some rather fancy
equipment running around this
area in the form of weed spray
ers. Many firms are now manu
facturing complete sprayers, and
they represent quite a large in

though do the job just as well.
Many of these are low initial cost

heck of a lot. First a competent

has taken the time to learn and

of spray compounds, rates of
application for the various crops,
time of application and a host of
other details that would fill this

Crop Report
By G. W. MONTGOMERY
Intermittent rains during the
week followed by a very heavy
rain Friday night has made for
very poor haying weather and
three or four days dry weather
will be needed before haying
commences again.
All spring seeded crops are
making wonderful growth and
there will be increased yields of
hay due to the excellent growing
conditions of the past two weeks.
Pastures are at their best and
livestock are in good condition.

Loss $1,000
Many of the “weed spray ads”
in magazines sound rather ex
aggerated. Maybe some of them
are. We noticed one of them said
“Warning! This year you may
lose a $1,000.00 or more through
weeds.”
Sounds foolish? No sir! On a
150~ acre farm that is less than
$7.50 per acre, and in a hoe crop
that’s chicken feed. One chap
who used to grow a comparative
average crop of canning corn
during the .war years, before
weed spraying became general,
lias often stated “I could retire
on my weed losses.” He now
Owns spraying equipment.
So spray those weeds. They
cost you money. Locate yourself
a thoroughly reliable custom
operator. Could be your neighbor
would he willing to co-operate in
buying a sprayer. If all other
ways fail, investigate the cost of
a low-priced sprayer. It will pay
big dividends.

No matter how much money
you have, how often you go to

will depend to some extent on

He’s sure you’ll be impressed when you discover that Ford has
the smooth ride and the road-holding steadiness that maybe
you thought were available only in cars costing a lot more.
He believes you’ll find that Fordomatic Drive operates more
smoothly, more quietly and more efficiently than any other
transmission on the road ... and that Ford’s power features—
"Master-Guide” Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Seat
and Power Window Lifts—take practically every last ounce
of effort out of driving.
He’s convinced that when you add everything up you’ll know
why Ford is Canada's best buy. There's a Ford waiting for you
to try at your Ford Dealer's now. Step in and drive.
This invitation comes from your Ford Dealer. He’s inviting
you to get behind the -wheel of a Ford V-8 and compare it with
any other car in its field. He’s willing to bet that Ford’s
performance will be an eye-opener to you, because it’s based
on JZ-<S power—from a great V-8 engine made by Canada's
most experienced V-8 builder.
