Childreri Took Part in Delightful
Service. / —.■ ~-/T"
The United Church presented a
most attractive appearance on Sunday
morning when the annual Flower Sun
day was observed, in conjunction with
the Sunday School anniversary. Bas
kets of beautiful flowers^odcupied ev
ery available position, and several
canaries in their cages not only pro
vided a decorative touch but also sang
beautifully during the service. Min
iature models of “the home” “the
school” and “the church” arranged
around a very effective representation
of a summer landscape around the
front of the pulpit, suggested the
theme of the service.
The members of the Sunday School
entered the church in a floral pro
cession, carrying bouquets' of sum
mer flowers, which were banked ar
ound the front of the church. The
service was opened by a choral pray
er “We Thank Thee” ,sung by the
school. A poem of welcome was re
cited by Alice Laidlaw, whose smile
alone .spoke as eloquently as words.
A poem entitled “The Daisies” was
then recited by eight little girls —
Grace Parker, Lois Adams, Donna
Buchanan, Marjorie French, Joyce
Walker, Grace Hingston, Doreen
Garlick and Grace Bailie — each of
Whom recited a verse. The baskets
of daisies which they carried were
then added to the floral decorations
of the church.
A' hymn “This is My Father’s
Worl’d,” was followed by a recitation
by Ruth Burgman. Then the choir of
children in white surplices sang a de
lightful anthem “ ’Tis Sunshine”. The
Scripture reading from Luke 19: 1-10
was splendidly given from memory by
Jack Tiffin. Margaret Finlay then
sang “Do Not Forbid Them”, the rest
of the choir joining her in the chorus.
After the choir’s offertory number
“Blossom Bells” the congregation,
joined in the hymn “God Sees the Lit
tle Sparrow Fall.” Mr. Anderson
then spoke very fittingly on the ser
vice theme" The Home, the School
and the Church.” After the sermon
Miss Margaret Partushek sang sweet
ly “Home, Sweet Home.” After the
hymn “Happy the Home when God
is There,” Mr. E. Wilkinson pro
nounced, the Benediction.
Mr. F. Howson, Superintendent of
the Sunday School, and the members
of the school who so ably helped in
the preparations, are to be congrat
ulated on the beauty and effectiveness
of a very unique service.

NEW METHOD OF
TREATING CLOVER
Demonstration Held at Fowler’s
Farm on Tuesday.
An experiment and demonstration
that is of great interest to our farm
ers, was held at the Fowler farm on
the Bluevale road on Tuesday. The
use of silos for winter feeding of cat
tle has been in use for a long num
ber of years but scientists have for a
long time been endeavoring to get a
method by which alfalfa and clover
would retain their nutrient value, a
great deal lof which is lost in the silo.
In European countries much has
been accomplished in this regard and
the method that they use for retaining
the value of the feed is what was de
monstrated on Tuesday. A mixture
, of alfalfa and red clover was out and
placed in the silo and treated with an
acid which retains the nutrient value
of the clovers. It is estimated that
clovers lose rom 40 to 50% of their
nutrient
cured in
Under
it in the
pected. that the loss of nutrient value
will be only to 5%. Uusing this meth
od the producer will be able to cut
three times in the year instead of two.
S.o far this treating of green feeds
has not been used in Canada but as
stated above has been successfully
used in European countries and no
doubt will be taken up by our agri
culturists here as it will lower feed
ing costs.

The guest speaker of the evening,
Miss Caroline Wellyvood, brought an
interesting message centred, around
her work in Chengtu, China, where
for thirty years she has laboured as
a nurse and has seen her hospital
grow from a small unit with one or
two nurses to a great hospital train
ing school for native girls.
. Speaking of the changing conditions
in China and how the status of women
has been raised, she mentioned the
fact that when she first went to that
country one would seldom see a wo
man on the streets, and now there are
more women than men and they are
free to buy and sell.
It used to take three months to
reach Chengtu from the coast but
now one can go in twenty-four hours
by plane.
