The two presidents of the C.G.I.T.,
Nancy Hutcheson and Charlene Deyell
also presented pillow covers which
they had embroidered with Mrs.
Thompson's initials.
In thanking the ladies, Mrs. Thomp-
son said how happy she had been to
spend a few months in her home town,
and added the gift was most timely
as these cotton articles, as well as
being very expensive, lasted such a
short time in Trinidad owing to clim-
atic conditons.
Mrs. Roulston closed the meeting,
inviting everyone to see the gifts and
then enjoy a social cup of tea.

TRIP TO THE U.A.C.
By Beverley Casemore
It dawned a grand day on Friday,
May 15th. This and other things put
the grade nine and ten students of
W,D.H.S. in a jolly humour as they
piled into the buses anti set off for
Guelph. This was open house at the
O.A.C. and meant a whole day off
from school.
The trip down was good, with no
flat tires or accidents. The buses came
to a stop at the College at about
eleven o'clock and we piled out. Every-
one scattered in different directions
but met at the dining hall at twelve
o'clock for an excellent dinner.
Everyone enjoyed the green-houses
and anyone interested in farming
could take in the wonderful exhibit a farm stock. The MacDonald Insti-
tute was very interesting and educa-
tional. Many displays in some build-
ings were hard for us to understand

but those, such as chemistry, showed
us what's in store for us in the upper
grades,
We were to meet the buses at four
o'clock, and by 4.30 everyone was pre-
sent and accounted for, so we set off
for home, At about 5 o'clock we stopp-
ed at Arthur and again had something
to eat. The rest of the trip home was
fun. Everyone laughed and sang but
we kept the noise down to a dull roar
because each bus carried a member
or two of the staff.
Around 7 o'clock, the buses pulled
into Wingham, but it was 7.30 or later
before most of the tired, full but
happy students reached home.

E. Lorne Bradwin
Passes in Spokane
Word has been received in town
of the death in Spokane, Washington,
of a former Wingham boy, E. L, Brad-
win,
Born in Wingham, 1880, Lorne was
the youngest son of the late Joseph
and Annie Bradwin, He received his
education in the public and continu-
ation classes of town, As a youth he
served his apprenticeship in, the Gen-
eral store conducted by the late Gil-
bert McIntyre. In 1901 he went to
Hamilton, being employed in Shea's
general store for eight years.
In 1910 Lome Bradwin married and
went west to Saskatoon where he
worked in the department store of J.
F. Cairns Company. He remained
there fifteen years, becoming the
manager and buyer for the dress
goods department. He then moved
with his family to the coast and on to
Spokane where he was employed for
many years in a departmental store.
Three years ago he retired, His wife,
Madge, having predeceased him by
several years, he lived with his son,
John.
In the last war his two sons, John
and Perry, served with American
units in North Africa and up through
Italy.
In recent months Mr, Bradwin un-
derwent an operation that ultimately
caused his death, May 6th. He' is sur-
vived by his daughter, Doris, and two
sons, also by seven grandchildren. His
brother, Ed,, is still living and resides
in Toronto.
MORE SOYBEANS
PLANTED IN HURON
Fall wheat, old meadows, new seed-
ings and pastures, have been making
tremendous growth during the past
week, with wheat fields and new
seedings above average for this time
of year, C. W. Montgomery, Huron
County agricultural representative re-
ports. Practically all of the cattle are
now out on pasture, with the excep-
tion of the dairy herds which are
only out in the daytime as yet. Seed-
ing of spring grains Is now almost
completed, in certain areas a number
of fields have had to be seeded again.
It appears that the acreage of soy-
beans seeded in the county this year
will be on the increase, particularly
as the acreage of contract barley will
be down in the county from 25 to 30
per cent. Many more farmers will be
growing flax this season, and there is
also an increase in the acreage of dry
pees in the county.
At the fourth annual Huron county
hereford spring sale in Clinton this
week, 17 bulls averaged $284.00 apiece
and 27 females averaged $274.00 apiece.
The high animal of the sale was a
good three-year-old heifer selling for
$440.00,
County fruit growers report a fair
amount of bloom on different kinds
of fruit trees, and with clear weather
this past week, the spray program will
be much more effective.

Presbytery Meets
The Huron-Maitland presbytery of
the Presbyterian Church in Canada,
met on Tuesday, May 12th, in St, An-
drew's Church, (Clinton. About 30 mem-
bers of the presbytery were present
there being a better representation of
laymen, than formerly, as the presby-
tery has decided to meet occasionally in
the evening, The Moderator, the Rev.
D, G. Campbell, B, A. 13. D., Th. M., of
Seaforth, presided. The clerk of pres-
bytery is the Rev, D, J. Lane, B. A., of
Clinton.
The presbytery heard read a lengthy
list of names of ministers applying for
admission into the Presbyterian
Church of Canada. They came from
Scotland, Ireland, U. S. A. and Hun-
gary. Th Rev, A. J. Simpson, B.S.A.,
B. D., of Teeswater, presenting the re-
port on Christian education had heart-
ening things to say about increased
numbers and progress in the work of
Sunday Schools and Young People's
Societies. The Rev, R. D. A. Currie,
B. A.,- of Whitechurch, Calvin and
Langside congregations, presented the
report on evangelism and social action
and suggested a conference on evangel-
ism to be held in September, the in-
vited speaker to be Rev. Wm. Bell,
M. A., of Syracuse, N. Y., who is con-
venor of evangelism in his presbytery
and who recently addressed the synod
in Goderich.
The Presbytery after much discus-
sion showed marked approval of this
venture.
Application for the sale of property
belonging to the Kinlough congrega-
tion was considered and referred to
the property committee to report at
the June meeting. The Rev, M. Bailie
of Bluevale and Belmore was appoint-
ed press secretary. The Presbytery will
meet again on June 22nd., in Wing-
ham.
CLUB PERMIT OUT—Application
by a Kitchener man for a permit to
build a $10,000 building for a "social
club" was turned down by the Clinton
council. The applicant admitted that
drinks would be sold, but said that
the proposed club would be run within
the law.
BOX 473
Cardston, Alberta, May 15, 1953
Dear Editor;
I want to trace my ancestry as far
back as I can. I have relatives some
where near Wingliarri, and I want you
to find them.
My grandfather, John Cook and
three brothers and a sister came from
Ireland and took up farms in Kippen
Township, 'probably about 1830, The
sister married a Mr. Aikenhead.
My grandfather married a Miss
Ross, whose mother lived to her 100th
year. She died about. 1868. My 'grand-
father had eight children to his first
wife: Hugh, Alexander, James, Robert,
Henry, Mary Ann, Margaret and Lilly.
11-ie married again an R. C. and had
three more children. He then moved
to Arthur Township, Wellington Coun-
ty,
Now surely you caefind some Cook,
Ross or Aikenhead descendants that
will correspond with me.
If you have a Genealogical Society
they can probably help you out.
I wrote to Ottawa about it, but they
have no data that for back,
My father, James Cook, was born
in 3..S42, I was born in 1867, so I am
no spring chicken.
Kindly do your best..
Sincerely yours,
John H. Cook

"Do You Know." Then came a hum-

The best way to measure Ford's dollar-for-dollar value is to
compare it feature-for-feature with other cars that cost as much or
more. We think you'll be surprised at what you'll find. For example,
you'll discover that Ford's Strato-Star 110-Hp. V-8 engine is the kind
of engine you've always associated with the most expensive cars ...
that it delivers the kind of power and smoothness you never hoped, to
find in a car that's priced as low as Ford. When you try out Ford's
relaxing "Wonder Ride" you'll sense that "big car" feeling that's so
satisfying to a driver. When you take into account Ford's choice of Fordomatics,
Overdrive* or Synchro-Silent transmission—and realize how many attractive
extra features Ford includes . . . well, then you'll understand. why more and more
motorists are making Ford their new first choke,.
