TEACHERS OF HURON
EAST ORGANIZE
Men of This Inspectorate Form
Group and Elect Officers.
Following a meeting at Brussels on
Saturday, of the men teachers of the
Huron East inspectorate, a local unit
of the Provincial Public School Men’s
Teachers’ Federation was organized
with G. C. Grainger, of Blyth, as the

Officers of the provincial federa-.
tion attended the meeting at the re
quest of the Huron East teachers,
who had asked details of the organi
zation be placed belfore them.
P. O. Nelson, of Owen Sound, told
of the advantages of joining the fed
eration. They include cheaper auto
mobile and life insurance rates, a sick
benefit fund for mejmbers and a larg
er voice in educational affairs. The
federation, he said, also elects one of
the three commissioners who admin
ister the superannuation fund. Pres
ident Elliott, of St. Catharines, head
of the federation, stressed the fact
that unless the federation presented a

to get" the attention of the depart
ment of education at Toronto,
The resolution to join the unit
passed unaniomusly. *
Th.e election of officers resulted as
follows: President, G. 'C. Grainger,
Blyth; vice-president, K. L. Ashton,

MRS. O. G. ANDERSON
GAVE ADDRESS
AT OWEN SOUND
Suggests That Consumer and Produc
er Should Co-Operate
Formation of consumer organiza
tions to co-operate with organized
producers to plan economically and
gain better understanding of price
spreads was recommended by Mrs. O.
G, Anderson, Belgrave, president of
the United Farm Women of Ontario,
before the semi-annual meeting of the
provincial Council of Women at Ow
en Sound on Friday.
Leading the discussion on dairies,
Mrs. Anderson said that milk produc
ers were operating “on a very close
margin, so narrow that they do not
know whether they are covering costs
or not.”
At the same time, she asserted, she
had been interested in the Toronto
Housewives’ Association in that I re
cognized activity on the part of the
consumers to organize, although she
believed it had represented “a great
deal of wasted effort. In a way, I
very much regret that the boycott was
not carried out, because I do not be
lieve anything could have brought the
consumer more quickly to the door
of the producer,” she declared.
“I believe that the producers have
seen that by co-operation they are
getting somewhere. But do consum
ers appreciate what they can do by
co-operation? cWe have, for instance,
eight creameries in Ontario. The far
mer is benefitting from them, but is
the consumer? It seems to be that
if the consumers want something out
of it, let them get together, organize
and see what they can do.”
Attended Liberal Convention
Mrs. J. O. Habkirk, Miss Sara Mac-
Lean, Miss Beatrice Graham and Mrs.
Jas. E. Robinson attended the On

Sunday Evening,
As a result of special effort on the

er’s Day outstanding as a go-to-
church Sunday, very large congrega
tions attended both services. In the
morning, cars were provided and
many who usually listen on the radio,
were taken to church. Baskets of col
ored tulips and white narcissus sym
bolized both the living mothers and
those who have departed. Rev. J, F-
Anderson spoke from Paul’s second
letter to Timothy, which showed the
change in the status of women, even
at that time, brought about by the
Gospel of Jesus. He called attention
to the fact that, in these days, many
parents provide so well for the temp
oral needs of their children and ne
glect the spiritual. Usually, with the
mother lies the task of linking the
young life to God. The music was
led by a choir of women and girls
with Miss Tena Reid, at the organ.
They were assisted by Mrs. Willits,
soprano soloist from Listowel.
