South End Service RUSS & CHUCK SNELL Exeter Phone 328 The Huron County Old Boys Association of Toronto, celebrat­ ing Its fiftieth birthday at a Golden Jubilee Dinner at, Chez. Paree last Thursday evening, paid special tribute to Mr. E. J. B. Duncan, K.C., the only sur­ viving Charter Member and Pres­ ident of the Association in 1901. Mr. Andrew G. Smith, a past President, in proposing the toast to Mr. Duncan, referred to him as “that Grand Old Gentleman from the County of Huron”, born In the township of Stanley, whose father, the Reverend James Dun­ can, endured'many of the hard­ ships of pioneer life in the early days of the settlement of that district. Although nearly 89 years of age Mr. E, J. B. Duncan is at ills law office in downtown To­ ronto at 8.15 every morning, 6 days a week. In responding, Mr. Duncan re­ called the organization of The Huron County Old Boys Associa­ tion of Toronto in January 190'0. He said that among the Charter Members were Mr. John R. Miller, formerly Inspector of Schools for West Huron, who later studied law and practiced in Toronto, The Honourable A. M. Ross, afterwards Provincial Treasurer, Mr. J. T. Garrow, afterwards a member of Sir Oliver Mowatt's Cabinet and a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario, Mrs. Thos. 'Gibson, then M.P.P. for North Huron, Mr. Edward Floody, then . editor of the Clinton News Record, Mr. Thomas B. Stewart, formerly of Blyth, Mr. William Pendergast and Mr..'Henry Beatty, both from Seaforth district. The first Pres­ ident of the Association was Mr. (later Sir) John S. Willison, then editoi* of the Toronto Globe, and the first Viice-President was Dr. Weismiller. The toast to Huron County was proposed by Mr. Kenneth C. Stanbury, who said on behalf of those present, many of whom had roots deeply embedded in the soil of Huron County, that they were 'happy and proud to think that wherever they went they would carry with them "something of the mintage of men stamped with the Hallmark ‘Huron’ ”, and so rich was their heritage that no words could adequately express the debt they owed to Huron County. In responding to this toast Mr. D. Douglas Wilson, in the ab­ sence of the Warden, Mr* Cecil Johnson, referred to the early settlement of the Huron Tract in the days of the Canada Land Company, and the staunch and hardy stock of pioneers who cleared the land and settled in what is now Huron County. He said that although many other County Associations were formed in Toronto around, the turn of the century, The Huron County Old Boys Association of Toronto was the only one which had sur­ vived and was still active.

Five weeks ago they secured two hundred Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys from the Lake­ view Turkey Farm, which they placed in a colony house that pupils had built two years pre­ viously for tool storage. They have cared for these turkeys under the instruction of the agricultural teacher, Mr, An­ drew Dixon, three pupils being responsible each day. At five weeks the turkeys have grown so well that they are ready to do without heat. Mr. Charles Regier bought most of the poults, but several students are taking a few birds home to raise. During the entire project the turkeys have done exceptionally well, as only five birds were lost. Outline of the project is as follows: The poults were hatched by »the Lakeview Hatchery and were wonderfully sturdy. The pen and all the equipment was new. They were cared for by beginners with no preconceived ideas. They were fed turkey starter containing 24% protein, two bags of Bun Ray and five bags of Shur-Gain. The pen was heat­ ed by a Superior oil-burning brooder. Twenty-five chicks ran with them for the first two weeks to teach them to eat. They were given Dr. Salisbury's "Sulquin” in their water at three-day inter­ vals. The founts were sterilized once a week with chloride of lime. Corn cob litter was used, raked over once a day. but not changed. For the first four days the birds ran on burlaps Hberal- ■ ly sprinkled with feed.
