MEETING AT GONE
ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH WOMEN TEACHERS' 1 110WICK LIONS CLUB
HELD ANNIVERSARY FEDERATION MET BUSINESS MEETING
BELHAVE SCHOOL WESTERN FOUNDRY
FAIR CONCERT OPEN HOUSE TODAY
On Saturday, October 16th, the Fall
Conference of the Women Teachers'
Federation for Region I, was held at
Walkerton. The theme of the Con-
ference was "Looking Forward". Miss
Helen Barbour, past President of time
Ontario W.T.F. contributed a great
deal to the success of the meeting.
Seven of the teachers of North Huron
were in attendance. Reports from time
following committees were read and
discussed: Educational Research, Rel-
igious Education, Sick Benefit, Educa-
tional Finance, Status, Legislation,
Publicity, Policy and Superannuation.
A luncheou was held at the Queen's
Hotel, where the guest speaker, was
Mr. Game, Inspector of Bruce Coun-
ty. Mr. Game urged every teacher
to take part in the activities of their
own federation. Many problems have
been. settled and difficulties over-
come through the co-operation of the
members of the Federation and of
the School Board. Mr. Game referred
to the loss to the teaching profession,
when Col. Drew resigned as Minister
of Education. He had brought about
many improvements in the schools of
Ontario, As a basis for his remarks,
,Mr. Game stressed three fundamentals
namely: the teaching of skills, the im-
parting of information and most im-
portant of all time attitude toward life
which a teacher gives to the pupils.
A teacher's life is one of service, in
moulding the Writing, Printing, Spell-
ing, Arithmetic and Reading. Mr.
Game chose Reading as the most im-
portant. Reading unlocks time treasure-
house of knowledge and amusement
for every child. As to the information,
regarding lessons to be taught, we
were urged to be well-acquainted
with the subject matter before begin-
ning a lesson. Teachers were to con-
sentrate on their aptitudes and streng-
then their weaknesses. In closing, Mr.
Game urged us as teachers, not to
become discouraged. In looking back
over a period of years he had seen
many changes. There was very little
truancy nowadays compared to the
past. There were friendlier, kindlier
relationships now, between pupils and'
their teachers. Children like to go to
school, and. those pictures depicting
children loathe to return to school in
the fall are not a true expression of
their feelings. People are more educa-
tion conscious and more interested in
education than they were formerly.
The Concert Series is sold out at
last. No seats are left, This simply
means that only members or holders of
memberships may be admitted to con-
certs. Any member who is unable to

In time Legion Home, under auspices
of time Legion, on Friday, Oct. 22nd,
During the past week a marked
improvement has been realized in the
hydro consumption and for the week
the local demand exceeded tile quota
by only about two per cent.
The heavy rains recently have been
responsible for a portion of this sav-
ing. With more water in the river, the
local plant was able to operate for a
limited time. The schedule of cut-offs
that have been in operation for time
past two weeks Will continue for time
present, and if all users oxiipt the
saving habit, it might prove sufficient.
New regulations were passed last
