C. Shearer as'secretary-treasurer of the Fruit Growers' Association of Huron Coun- ty was presentedandregretfully. ac- cepted as the annual meeting held in the agricultural board room on Fri- day.

The meeting convened at 11.30 a.m. with a good attendance of mem- bers and the president, J. W. Joynt, Lucknow, in the chair. Minutes of the last annual meeting and subse- quent executive meetings were read and approved, also 'the financial state- ment showing a balance of $46.14 In the treasury. The correspondence read gave rise to a motion by J. R. Stirling and George Laithwaite that the secre- tary be instructed to bring to the attention of the Service Adminis trator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board the advisability of having baskets and hampers deliv- ered direct to the orchards. The election of officers resulted as follows; Hon presidents, George Laithwaite, Goderich; J. R. Stirling, Bayfield; R. J. McLaughlin, Brussels; J. W. Joynt, Lucknow; president, Stewart' Middleton, Clinton; vice president, Clayton Laithwaite, Gode- rich; secretary -treasurer, to be ap-, pointed; directors, D. 3. Lassaline,1 Benson Sowerby, R. R. 2 Goderich; Thomas Salkeld, Lucknow; Fred Middleton Clinton; George Johnston, William McGuire, D. A. Smith, Fraser Stirling, R. R. 2, Bayfield. Before adjourning for dinner at the McKenzie hotel, a motion was adopted to invite the vegetable growers of Huron county to affiliate with the fruit growers. It was also decided that the distribution of spray supplies be left with Gordon Blair, Burlington, by either of the following methods: delivery direct to farms; or from a central point, probably Clinton. The retiring pres- ident also referred to the great loss to the association in the death last year of former. President Mrs. D. A. Sloan .Snaith. - Retiring President J. W. Joynt was toastmaster for the after-din- ner proceedings at the hotel. Mrs. McGuire was pianist, Gordon Blair and J. C. Shearer song .leaders. A pleasing feature was the presentation to Mr. and Mrs. Shearer of a hand- some silver tea 'service by Mr. Joynt and, Mr. Middleton on behalf of the association. Mr. Shearer made a fitting acknowledgement in which he spoke of his very pleasant association with the fruit growers, all of whom will long be pleasantly remembered. Mr. Laithwaite and Mr. Stirling voiced sincere regret in losing from the county office one 'who has taken such an active interest in fruit grow- ing as well as all branches of farm industry.: Returning to. the agricultural rooms, a film illustrative of spray- ing operations and a running ,cont mentary thereon was given by Mr, Blair. Afterwards J. J. Johnston, Dominion fruit and vegetable in- spector, • London, Ont., gave an ad- dress on the `subject of "Recom- inendations for the Fruit Industry of Huron County." G. Laithwaite and D. J. Lassaline voiced the thanks of the group for. the address given. Before adjournment it was recom- mended that ' the new secretary treasurer, when appointed, send a copy of bulletin No. 437 on orchard and soil„management to each in..mnter of the association. Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel Named Rector of St. Paul's The announcement that the Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel, rector of Christ Church, Port Stanley, and St. Luke's Church, Yarmouth Heights, has been appointed rector of St. Paul's Church at Clinton and will leave for that parish at the first of May, is being received with great regret not only in the two local parishes in which he has served most successfully, but also throughout the whole - community. Although he came from Dover township. to Port Stanley only six years - ago, Mr. Bulteel has come in those few years to fill an imnport- ant and influential place in the life of the district. In addition to his deeply spiritual ministry in the parishes where he is rector, and to which he has devoted himself whole-heartedly Mr. Bulteel has always taken an active and prac- tical interest in community welfare: He is chairman of the Board of Edu- cation in Port Stanley, vice president of the Red Cross Society there and a member of the Boy Scout Committee for the district. He has been particularly happy and successful in working with boys and the recent inauguration of a progres- sive community centre for the develop ment of the 'hobbies and other activ- ities of the boys of Port Stanley was an outgrowth of his work with the boys of the village, for whom the meeting facilities of Christ Church had been made available. Mr. Bulteel is a member of the Masonic Lodge in Port Stanley and for two years was chaplain of Branch 44 of the Canadian Legion in St, Thomas. He himself is a veteran of the last Great War, during whichhe was seriously wounded inaction near Arras. A native of Plymouth, England, Mr. Bulteel also lived in the Chan- nel Islands before coming to Canada and a sister still resides in that oc- cupied territory. Another member of his family, a brother, is a prisoner in. Manila in .the Philippines. Mr. Bulteel is a graduate of Huron Col- lege, London Ont. and served in chur. ones in Brantford and Dover town, ship before eoming to Port Stanley six years ago. During his incumbency in Dover he was rural dean of Kent. Mr. Bulteel will be accompanied to Clinton by his wife who was formerly Miss Ruth Owen, and who has always taken an active interest in church work, and by their younger daughter, Nora, Their elder daughter Mrs. Gordon Martin, is residing in Calgary. -St. Thomas Times -Jour. nal.
