■GORRIE INSTITUTE
MAY MEETING
The Women’s Institute was held on
Wednesday last at the home of Mrs.
Anson Galbraith with a good number
present, the president, Mrs. Shera pre
siding. \ ’
Following the usual opening of the
.meeting with the Ode and Lord’s
Prayer in unison, the minutes were
read, and .many items of business dis
cussed, when Local Leader projects
and' short courses were summarized
.and explained by Mrs. C. Gregg, and

—------ —
It’s not surprising that
you’re constipated! .
If you suffer from constipation to
the point that you feel weary,
depressed and worn out — it is
time to question yourself!
What have you eaten lately?
Meat, bread, eggs, potatoes? It is
not surprising then that you’re
. constipated. Your diet lacks “bulk." And “bulk” doesn't
. mean quantity, but a kind of food
that is not completely assimilated ' and leaves a soft/ “mass” in the
bowels that helps the bowel
movement.
If this is your case, the solu
tion is tasty Kellogg’s All-Bran, every morning for breakfast. It
contains the necessary "bulk”
and Vitamin Bi, the natural in
testinal tonic.
Eat All-Bran every day, drink
lots of water and get back your
zest for life! All-Bran is made in
London, Canada by Kellogg. At
all grocers.

on “The Queen and Her Wardrobe,"
which told of the many gowns, acces-,
sories and jewels which were being
brought over in the 50,trunks by our
Queen Elizabeth and when .and hoyv
she would wear them. “God Save the
King" was then sung. * \
Mrs. Everard Carson then gave a
most helpful and interesting talk on
“Flowers, Shrubs and Bulbs in the
Garden" and their care; also planning
to haVe flowers blooming all year.
She stated pruning of shrubs 'and
plants should be done now to make
larger and better . bloom; climbing
roses depend on last year’s growth;
and that the Regal Lily is easily froz
en in the Spring if not covered. She
alsojsaid that edgings around flower
beds improved the appearance of
same, and also to keep an interest in
your 'flower garden by planting some
thing new every year. She then ex
hibited the flowers which were in
bloom in h.er garden at the present
time, having a good many different
blooms on display. A discussion on
flowers and the care of same follow

poem, and also gave many “Current

SERVICE in the implement field is no * mere
appendage or fancy trimming.
Time and timeliness are the essence of success
“in most farming operations. Great loss may be
sustained by the farmer, during seeding and
harvesting, through machine breakdowns caused
by wear and accidents, if parts are not readily
available. It is then/ that promptness in securing
parts has a definite money value. r
Massey-Harris has always taken a pride in
k the manner in which it has rendered Parts service.
Fit and quality may be taken for granted, for
replacement parts are identical with the originals.
Its extensive selling organization, with local dealers
in practically every town across Canada, brings
this service-within easy reach of every farmer.
No matter, too, how old the machine bearing
the name '*Massey-Harris” may be, spare parts
can always be obtained for if.
O Last Spring a former ordered a small part for a drill he
bought 30 years ago. No demand for many years for
this part resulted in the pattern becoming destroyed. To
mate a new pattern and part cost $25.00) art expenditure
willingly undertaken to preserve the Company's long and
enviable record for service—although the part sold to
the farmer for only 15c.

Some Corrections
Your correspondent was very kind
in extending congratulations to me
and pupils in the account of the Mus
ical Festival at Walkerton, as in the
Gorrie-Wroxeter News of the last edi
tion, I am sorry to state the report
was not entirely correct. Margaret
Moffat of Wroxeter, won first prize
for Sr. Piano Solo instead of Jean
Heibein of Gorrie who won third
prize. S. S. No. 4 Howick did not en
ter the Sr. Chorus (open) but won on
ly the first place in the Jr. Chorus,
while Wroxeter Public School won
first prize in the Sr. Chorus,.' Anyone
reading this report might conclude
that I taught music in the Gorrie Pub
lic School which is not the case, and
I am not entitled to share in any of
the. success attributed to the above
mentioned school. I trust that these
corrections may do justice to these
pupils taking part in the Musical-Fes
tival.
Yours sincerely,
Evelyn M. Stephens

“From ocean unto ocean” was the op

church is keeping” and “O Zion
haste’’ were also sung. The rector,
Rev. Ball, spokcT on “The King.” In
his remarks he stated, The Ideal Gov
ernment to strive for is a theocracy
as conceived by Moses. All other
forms of government have the weak
ness that they put their faith and trust
in an individual or in the case of de
mocracy, the 'people. The British
King is an ideal ruler and represents
to the Empire nearest to a theocracy
than any other nation. By virtue of
the ideals of the Empire and the
King’s keen acknowledged dependan
ce on God. We can therefore say that
not as royalists nor. as patriots but as
believers in the ultimate aspiration of
Tor-1 a theocracy “God Save the King.”
