W. M. S. SECTIONAL 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 attend a concert is asked to pass on their membership to a friend or rela- tive so that every seat will ,invariably be filled. Door To Open At 7.45 p.m. Doors will open at a quarter to eight on Thursday evening and it will be a case of first come first served. No memberships will be available until next season. The Western Foundry, one of Wingham's oldest and largest indus- tries, is holding "Open House" today and extend an invitation to all resi- dents of Wingham and district to in- spect their plant. The Western Foundry has greatly contributed, to the success of the town, and we are all proud of its achievements and progress. By taking advanta'ke of their invitation we may show our appreciation, and at the same time learn how their famous lines of stoves and ranges are Made. Competent guides will conduct tours and explain the different phases of manufacture. Ample parking space is • available, and for those without cars a bus ser- vice is being provided which will leave from the Town I-Tall at regular inter- vals during the afternoon. An Opportunity To See How Stoves And Ranges Are Made Anniversary services were held at 1.1 a.m., and 7 p.m., in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sunday. The guest speaker for the day was Rev.

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.
