In 1864, the first cheese fac- tory was epened in Oxford Ceunty, and in three years, there were 250 fac- tories. In forty years there were two thousand factoriee. But now there is fewer than 600 factorial. Cheese is made in every province except Nova Scotia and three quarters of the cheese that is made in all Can- ada is made in Ontario. From 60 to 70 million pounds are made each year. He was given a hearty vote of appreciation for his interesting ad- dress. Mrs. Frank Miller gave part of her report of the recent Convention at the O.A.C., Guelph, and the roll call "What makes a good Farmer's Wife," was answered humorously. The meet- ing was closed by singing the National Anthem, Lunch was served and all enjoyed the samples of cheese that Mr, Martin provided. The ladies are catering this Thursday evening for the turkey banquet for the E. Wawanosh Federa- tion of Agriculture, when Mr. J. R. Kohler of Brampton will speak on "United Live Stock Sales." Former Resident Passes Many in this commuity were inter- ested to note that Mrs. W. A. Wind- sor, formerly Ida Carrick, eldest dau- ghter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robt, Carrick, of Whitechurch, had passed away in Detroit, on October •3rd. The community extends sympathy to the bereaved husband and family, and to her sisters, Mrs. Ragsdale, of San Fer- nando, California and Mrs. Fred Clark, of London. W.M.S. Thankoffering About sixty ladies attended the Oc- tober Thankoffering meeting of the W.M.S. of the United Church here on Friday afternoon, with guests from Bluevale and St. Helens societies, Mrs. Milian Moore presided and gave the call to worship after which Mrs. J. D. Beecroft led in prayer. Mrs. E. H, Groskorth read the Scripture lessons from Psalm 31. Mrs. Moore, for the meditation period told the story of the holy bread, which is our gifts that are given to be shared with others and she also gave a poem, "Let Us Be Thankful Each Day for Difficulties". Mrs. Garnet Farrier played a piano solo and Mrs. Herbert Laidlaw led in prayer for the success of the mission- ary efforts in all lands. Miss NI. Rutherford gave a reading, "Willing Service", telling of the king who thought his people to selfish and who dug a hole in the middle of the road, dropped a bag of gold into the hole, and rolled a big stone over it, Everyone went around it and wonder- ed who would put it there, but no one made an,, effort to roll it away or claimed.the reward. Mrs. Brook, of Bluevale, was the guest speaker and gave a very inter- esting talk on stewardship. Mrs. Mc- Cracken and Mrs. Johnston, of Blue- vale sang, "The Shepherd of Love Is Calling the Lost", and the meeting was Football Summary It is on this clouding-over autumn afternoon, while our Wingham team fights it out with Seaforth for the second time that I take time for a brief resume of the three games W. D.H.S. has played to date, In short they are stories of woe, but maybe woe that can be accounted for. Per- haps it is because our high school team has a large percentage of rela- tively inexperienced first year players. On the whole, the tackling could be improved. However, it has some wor- thy merits. Jim Lockridge is reputed to the team's best tackler, while the best ball carriers are Dave Donahue and the quarterback, Neil Stainton. Here are the scores of the first three games. ,Clinton at Wingham 28-0 for Clin- ton. Wingham at. Seaforth 33 - 0 for Seaforth, Wingham at Goderich-19 • 0 for Goderieh. In these games the Wingham pass- ing attack and pass defence was weak, Oct, 19: Once again the game today has not met our expectatIons. The Wingham boys this time suffered from a lack of tackling and above all poor completion of passes. Seaforth scored no fewer than eight touchdowns and three converts leaving a score of 43 - 0. The W.D.H.S. team has yet two games to play; one at Clinton on Thursday and a second at Wingham, when the Goderich team will be con- tested. Hugh Sinnamon More School Activities Senior derma is off to a good start this year, with members from Grade XI and XII. Grade XIII is thought to be too sophisticated, This club is working on various plays and readings. These are to be given at Literary meetings throughout the year. One play, entit- led "For Whom the Telephone Rings" ,is in the elementary stages of prac- tice. It will probably be given at a future Literary -meeting. On Monday last band practice was held with Mr. Jackson in charge, and bugles and drums were issued to Out- ure band members. We then retired outside and lessons began. However, with some twenty new members and very few competent seniors to act as teachers, little progress was made. However, this organization—and I use the term loosely—shows signs of im- proving and becoming an efficient band that will be a real credit to the school.
