RED CROSS NOTES J At a meeting of Regional Chairmen of the Ontario Division, Women's War Work Committee, it was decided that in order to cohform with the National policy, all quotas in _ Ontario work- rooms should be completed and ready for shipment to our warehouse by April 1—a magnificent finish to the war work undertaken by our women in September 1935. Although the Women's War Work Committee as such will cease to function, provision is being made for a new .committee to carry on our peace -time work of sewing and knit- ting. The Ontario Division, will appoint a chairman of Women's Work Com- mittee to take ,office May 1. Suffic- ient time has not yet elapsed to know what .other calls may come for our help. The world is still in turmoil-- we urmoil—we are pledged to do all we can for the "mitigation of suffering," and we must be prepared. We have all had the inner •satisfaction of knowing that we served—that we gave the neigh- bourly helping hand to our war-torn Allies. It is for us . to carry the torch—to help Red Cross further the preystige it gained in the war years— to have leaders ready to direct women's work in Red Cross whatever the call may be. • (Signed)—MRS.

Stewart, Clinton, : g i - cultural representative for Iiuron County, was appointed secretary treasurer,. and Lincoln White and R. M. Peck were named delegates to the Canadian Shorthorn Association. William Potts, Mitchell, retiring president, was ehairinan, and Ralph E- White, Stratford,: presented the treasurer's report. ' • ' "There is 'no eawier way of produc- ing meat than letting the animal pick the grass itself; crop improvement is an essential part.of meat production," Dr. '1'. A. Robinson, Toronto, presi- dent, Canadian Shorthorn Association, declared. "It is a pretty well accept- ed fact that the Shorthora can pro- duce more meat in less time than any ,other breed of cattle."' • "Our future in Canada is largely in the development of the home mar- ket for our beef," Harold White, Guelph,, secretary Canadian Shorthorn Association, said. "We must not stay in the horse and buggy days in the marketing of our beef cattle. We must advertise. The signs of the times are that after 1946 our market in, Britain is not going to amount to much." o m roe o egra e Institute, Inspectors G. L. Gray and F. G. Ashbury have submitted their joint report to Clinton Board of Education. Portions of the report are repro- duced as follows: "The only change in equipment has been the addition of a few books to the Library, but other books are on order and are gradually reaching the school as the publishers are able to supply them." The need of new maps and a set of atlases was pointed out. "Well Organized" "The school has been well organized by the Principal whose allotment of time to the various subjects corres- ponds closely to that recommended by the Department. Shop work and Home Economics have been extended into the Middle School for those who de- sire it and in some periods, are taken at the same time as Lower Sehaol classes. "At intervals of approximately three weeks, literaryi society meetings are held w,hich give the pupils consider- able opportunity to conduct meetings or assist in the programme. The Up- per School pupils are also showing a keen interest in the Citizen's Forum programmes and are using the topics dealt with in the weekly broadcast as a basis for their discussion of cur- rent eyents.. A school paper is is- sued every two months and is both a chronicle of school events and a means of giving its editorial staff some training in journalism. • "Sound Training" "Our general impression is that the pupils of this school are receiving sound training under the able lead - ship of its Principal and the capable teaching of its staff. As already in- dicated, special activities give op- portunities for the development of particular abilities and in cbnjunction with regular Glasswork help; to build a sound esprit de corps." 0 Ross ex ZKM •riI 1 Opens Radio Repair Shop Here Ross Merrill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Merrill, R.R. 2, Clinton, has just opened a new radio and electrical repair shop in the quarters on King St.; formerly occupied by Frank Ping- land, K.C., barrister.
