E. Foster and Rev. F. W. Craik of Victoria street church, Goderich, will exchange pulpits on Sunday next, which is Conference Sunday. The . W. M S. will nmeet on Thurs- day evening, June 8th, at 8 o'clock in the Sunday school room. The main topic for the evening will be "Japan." Very happy and successful anni- versary services were held in this church on Sunday, the fourth since the opening of the new church and the eighth since the union of the two congregations. The special preacher on this oc- casion was the Rev, Dr. J. E. Hogg of Strathroy, who resigned his pas- torate of the congregation in 1931. after a term of over fourteen years. He was very much at home in the pulpit, naturally, preaching two very eloquent and inspiring sermons. In the morning Dr. Hogg chose as the basis of his discourse several verses from the 11th and 12th chap- ters of Hebrews which tell of those who had run the raee before. He stressed the fact that the "witnes- ses" spoken of were not merely spetcators but that they were those who had actually taken part in the conflict. The Christian life teas lik- ened to an arena, where contests took place and the church, being sur- rounded by those who had run suc- cessfully in the race, should be en, oourageed in the contest, "for the joy of victory," making whatever sacrifices were necessary. Dr. Hogg at this service also spoke feelingly of the pleasure he felt in being pre- sent on this occasion, of the happi- ness of his connection with the con- gregation and of his interest in the present church, in the planning and building of which he had taken a very keen interest, In the evening his subject was the "Overruling Power. of God." He pointed out, while God has a purpose for each life, man is free to .choose his own destiny, although God may use even the self-will of man to fur- ther his own purposes. The musical part of the services, arranged by the organist Mrs. Mora gan Agnew, was also much enjoyed. 1 An anthem was rendered, in the, morning, solo parts being taken by Mrs._ Percival Hearn and Mr. J. C. Cooper, and Mrs. W. A. Oakes con- tributed a solo. In the evening two anthems were rendered, solo parts beingtakenMiss by Vmio la Fraser and Mr. Travers, in the first :one, Mrs. Hearn and Mrs. Chowen taking the solo parts in the second, also a quartette part was taken by Messrs. Cooper and 1VMcEwan and Mrs. Hearp and Mrs. Chowen. Miss Ann Stewart sang - an offertory, solo and Mrs. Oakes gave as a final "Rest in the Lord." In the evening, service in the On- tario street church was withdralvn and the minister and a large number of the dongregation attended the service. ' Also a number from other congregations in town. The effieials had asked for a gen- erous offering and the result was, gratifying, at last reports coming up almost to the sum: asked for. Starting Ion Sunday next, June 4th, the Sunday school will meet fx+om ten to eleven o'clock in ,the forenoon, in- stead of in the afternoon. THE MARKETS Wheat, 75c. Barley, 356, Oats, 30c.

The Public bl c School Board, Clinton, Ont "Gentlemen: I visited your . school on March 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th and spent four days in examining the different classes. The attendance remains alni.ost the same: there are about twenty eight pupils on the average in each class room. There was considerable irre- gularity in the early winter due to sickness. The cordial relationship between pupils and teachers and among the teachers themselves are . very appar- ent in this school and dontribute much to its success. The classes are all making good progress; some of the teaching is outstanding. The granting of High School En- trance Certificate without .examine., tion will be continued this year tq the most proficient in the class. --,Yours respectfully, John M.

A. .C., Guelph, winning the. Canadian Manufactur- ers' prize, PUT IN CEMENT The News -Record would like to call the attention of the street com- mittee to the need of some different arrangement at the top of Mary street for getting the water away. Last fall a catch basin and grate were put in on the north side a little west of the corner of Mary and Is- aac. Daring fallandwinterthe rains the clay was all washed away from around this basin and the wat- er found its way to the, drain with- out running into it. In the spring the earth was built up around this basin again, gravel being packed closely around it, and had a few buckets of cement been added the job would have been complete. As it was, the first heavy rain washed the gravel up over the grate, which has been buried ever since. The water runs anywhere, mostly down the walk. We would suggest that this basin be again freed of gravel and a cern- ent gutter be put in for a few feet and the drain cleared out above it. Attention to this would do away with very much inconvenience, as the wat- er would be .carried away before it gets to the low place in the sidewalk. where it has been in the habit of running for years and is still run- ning, whenever there is a heavy rain. THE HOLIDAY •Mr, W .M. Aiken objected to the announcement made last week that he was not going to close Wednesday afternoons during the summer, Mr. Aileen, some weeks ago when a list was circulated signed as one of those who would close, then, without not- ifying him, the other merchants de- cided not to close. This,itmade him a little sore and when the paper was again circulated he refused to sign it. But he said he did not say he would not close. The paper brought into this office was supposed to show those who would and those who would not close Wednesday and keep open Thursday evening, and that is all we had to go by. There were a number of othem merheants who would net sign the paper at all, either for closing Wed- nesday or keeping open Thursday night, these names did not appear. One of the reasons The News -Re- cord would like to see a real, live retail merchants' organization, in addition to a board of trade, is just such things as the above, Such an organization could manage a little thing .Iike arranging a weekly half holiday without any friction at all, and that is the way it should be ar- ranged, By next year perhaps the local organization will be function. ing properly. The Wednesday half holiday does- n't personally interest The News - Record, as we cannot participate in it for that is our busiest afternoon, the one before press day. It is of no particular assistance to us, either, to have all thetown closed up that afternoon, indeed, has on more than one occasion been distinctly awkward but we like to see others . enjoying themselves and like to assist in mak- ing that possible when we can. We have suggested on more than one occasion that the holiday might be changed to Thursday, in which case we could also take it in, but that has never even been considered so far as we are aware, and we have to ar- range to take ours when we can. However, when .so large a majority have decided to close for the half day during the three summer months it is to be hoped all will fall in line and make the thing unanimous. When the town is open for business Thurs.- day evening, when people are coming to town anyway to hear the band concert, there can be no particular objection to taking the half day off. .But .probably, most of those who. would not sign the paper will fall in line and close Wednesday, while the majority will remain open for Masi - nese Thursday night, band night. The Kilties will give their first concert this evening on: the Post office Square; DEATH OF MISS Mc11.AY Mics Annie McKaY of Goderich passed away at the County home, Clinton, on Saturday, in her ninety-. third year. Miss McKay was born atBaock a r d , Cape Breton, and came up to Goderich with her parents it 1860, She was a member of a fam- ily of seven, the only surviving mem- ber now being a brother, Capt Jolla McKay of Goderich, who was light- house keeper.' at Lyal Island, off the Bruce Peninsula, for thirty-five years or more. They were a sea - loving family, another brother losing his life when his schooner sank in a storm several years ago. The funeral was held at Goderich on Monday, the Rev. D. J. Lane of Knox church conducting the services, The pallbearers were: Messrs. E. R. Wigle N. McAuley, John Baker and Neil McKay, the latter a nephew. Interment was made in Maitland cemetery. MONDAY'S STORM That was a very severe storm we had just before one o'clock on Mon- day. The rain came in sheets, the wind blew and the hail beat down upon us fiercely. Apparently the ,V storm had its cen- tre in the vicinity of Stapleton, and hardly any rain fell except within a radius of a few mi)es. But at Stap- leton and on Mr. Bert Gibbings' farm the full fury was felt. The old frame building formerly used by the salt manufacturers was blown down. The building was old of course, but it was a solid frame structure and had weathered many a storm in the past. The roof of Mr. R. Noble was badly wrecked also by the wind. The hail also did consld- marble dainage, cutting the tender leaves from alfalfa on Mr, Gibbings' farm until the field looked like F field of stubble, and, a number of trees were uprooted, It was a wild storm around that quarter for a few minutes. ATTEMPTED ENTRY Some ono seemed to have made an attempt to enter Charlesworth's store on Tuesday night, a hole hav- ing been punched through the front door. Russell Jervis, manager of the Pletseh Hatchery branch, conducted in this building, and a young lad who had been helping him with his work in connection with the chicks, were asleep in the back of the store and on hearing the racket jumped up and turned on the lights. They weal Out and Iooked up and down both back and front of the building but could see no one. Something is always happening around that store, it is only a couple of weeks or so since there was a small fire. Manager Jervis would need to sleep with one eye open. For some time thieves seemed to have a special pick at egg and poul- try places and it may be that the idea was to secure a number of young chicks without the trouble of hatch- ing them, but whatever the idea, it was frustrated. C. L BOARD MEETS The Collegiate Institute board met on Monday evening, May 29th, mem- bers present being Ohaixman Col, Rance, Col. Combe, Dr. Shaw, Mess- rs. Fingland and Cooper and Prin- cipal Fines. The finance committee reported that it had interviewed the Hydro Commission re putting the school on the domestic list but found that it could not be done. The property dommittee report- ed trees planted and that a fire gong would be installed. The following accounts were pre- sented and ordered paid: F. Mutch, 65,35; Fred Watts, $7.00, Principal Fines repdrted progress in commerdial work, submitting some of the work accomplished. It was decided to continue the work in the first two forms. Inspector Norman Davis, Tepee - senting the Agrieultural Department, visited this school recently and inhis report to the Board states that the subject is being taught by a con- scientious ,and industrious teacher.. that accomodations are •satisfactory suggests that Household Science and and Farm Mechanics be made available• to students wishing to take practical work in these subjects during the first two years of the High School Course. The Inspector recommended some additional equipment. There are forty-seven students taking Ag- riculture' and all are making :satis- factory progress. The board took action in regard. to reducing eateries and staff but refused to allow The News-Resiord access to this minute; It is rumored, however, that one teacher is to be dropped and each salary reduced $100. This may or may not be correct, we cannot vouch for it, but the'inferenee is that it is a fact. M, Saturday, June 3rd, is King; George's birthday. Many Happy Re- turns.
