becoming more and more
popular. One in this district is

families come with their empty
bushel baskets and go home

Strangely enough, history
recounts that peach trees,
originally grown in China as long
ago as 4,000 were valued as
firewood only.
This delectable fruit was in-
troduced to this continent by the
first colonists and was quickly
spread beyond the earliest set-
tlements by missionaries and
Indians,
Ontario history records the
first commercial peach orchard
was established on the 'River
Road' near Queenston, around
1825,
The peach is perhaps Ontario's
most delicious fruit and its
season extends from early
August to about the first week in
October to give consumers a
wide choice of varieties.
To ensure a best buy in peaches
it is helpful to know what dif-
ferent varieties are best suited
for. The Department of
Agriculture makes the following
recommendations:
MID SEASON PEACHES
Middle of August to last week of
August:
Redhaven - excellent for table
use, good for canning, usually
freezes well.
Jubilee - good for table use,
excellent canning peach, should
not be frozen.
Envoy - good eating peach,
cans well, frequently freezes
well.
Late August to early September
Valiant - good quality eating.
Veteran - cans well.
LATE SEASON
Early Elberta - a commercial
canner, fair for table use, good
for home canning.
Redskin - last good eating
peach, cans well.
Elberta - the last of the
peaches, (Standard) variable
canner, not recommended for
home canning.
When selecting peaches choose
fruit that is firm-ripe, but not,
hard, with no evidence of green.
It should be bright and fresh, free
from blemishes, bruises,
discoloration or other indications
of decay or spoilage.
Peaches are highly perishable

PEACHES AT THE TOP ALWAYS LOOK BETTER —Mr.Teeter
hoists a lad up on his shoulders so he can reach the peach up high
that looks so juicy and tempting. It was the first trip the three boys
had ever made to a peach orchard. They found it fun and rewarding
to their stomachs.

Kenneth's message will be of

It's a sad day for the Brownies
and Guides of Exeter.
In the 25 years of Guiding in
Exeter, District Commissioner
Mrs.RobertLuxton says this is the
first time the organization has
been without leaders.
She pointed out that training and
help is available to prospective
leaders, and uniforms are sup-
plied. All that is required is a
genuine interest in girls.
There are about 35 enthusiastic
Brownies and Guides in the
Exeter program.
"The Brownie Pack and Guides
will have to discontinue if no
leaders come forth," Mrs. Luxton
stated ,
Is there anyone out there
listening?
If so, phone Mrs. Luxton at 235-
1864.
What about this old poem that
points out the difficulty with
pluralizing and conjugation?
ENGLISH IS EASY?
We'll begin with box, the plural is
boxes.
But the plural of ox is oxen, not
oxes;
One fowl is a goose, but two are
called geese;
Yet the plural of moose is never
Meese;
The Congregation of Trivitt
Memorial Anglican Church will
hold its anniversary service
September 12.
The present building was
consecrated by Bishop Baldwin
in 1888. It took the place of Christ
Church, a frame building in
which persons of Exeter wor-
shipped for 25 years.
Trivitt Memorial was the gift of
Thomas and Elizabeth Trivitt,
and now Mr. & Mrs. Trivitt lie
buried underneath the Chancel.
Some of the windows and or-
namental work in the church
resemble the Cathedral Church
of St. Peter, in Exeter, England,
from where our first members
came.
The anniversary service will
also be the annual youth service
and the guest preacher will be
Kenneth Anderson, M.A„ Huron
College.
Kenneth is the son of Rev. &
Mrs. George Anderson. He is at
present studing for the ministry
You may find a lone mouse or a
whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is always
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan
be called pen?
If I speak of a foot and you show
me two feet,
And I give you a boot, would a
pair be called beet?
If singular's this the plural is
these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be
keese,
We speak of a brother and also of
brethren,
But though we say mother, we
never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are
he, his and him
But imagine the feminine, she

"Me and Uncle Jack swum
clear acrost the lake," boasted
my youngest after he'd returned
from a trip north with relatives.
"Good Grief," I answered,
shuddering at his slaughter of the
English language, "It's certainly
time you were back to school."
With the introduction of French
classes in all the county schools,
it's to be hoped teachers have
more luck teaching him that
language than they've had thus
far with his native tongue.
Not that I don't sympathize
with the child.
English was never one of my
strong points either — oh, I loved
to read it, but when it came to
speaking it correctly, well, that
was another kettle of fish.
English is a difficult language
but despite its complexities it is
spoken by more people than any
other language in the world with
the exception of Chinese.
Its history goes back to about
A.D. 450 and it is a blending of the
Germanic, Scandinavian,
French, Latin, Greek. and Italian
languages with a little North
American Indian, Mexican,
• Australian and Asiatic thrown in.
This borrowing and blending of
words from so many langauges
has made it the richest and most
powerful tongue spoken.
According to my encyclopedia
there are approximately 600,000
English words in existence. ▪ Persons with average education
use only a few thousand.
Shakespeare used 15,000 and
Robert Browning, 38,000.
New words are being added
and changes made to the
language at such a rapid rate that
it's difficult to keep a dictionary
on hand that's tip to date.
An English teacher at a
cominunity College told me last
year that most dictionaries are
obsolete before you buy them at
the book store.
The kids are back to school and
' there's no doubt about the fact
that how well they learn to ex-
press themselves in their native
language will be Of utmost iin-
portance.
It may be tough for some of
them, but what about the million
and More new Canadians who've
had the terrible experience of
learning English? Terrible,
because the spelling and
pronunciations are often com-
pletely irrational,
