pect by the others, so he remarked:
"I observe that you all treat that
tnan with 'marked deference."
"Yes," was the answer, "he's one
of the early settlers."
"Early settlers!" exclaimed the
visitor, "why, he can't be more than
30."'
"That may be true," the other ans-
wered, "but he pays his bills prompt-
ly on the first of every month."

The British government has an-
nouuced postponement of evacuation

to have been sent to Canada at the
government's expense, but no stop
was made to evacuation, of, children
whose fares, are paid privately.
SALE OF CHURCH
AT SHEPPARDTON
SOLEMN AFFAIR
WELL KNOWN IN HURON
THROUGH MANY YEARS
Hamlet Formerly Prosperous as
Centre of Settlement: and
Business
By W. H, Johnston
• In London Free Press
I wonder how many of the present
generation can understand the in-
tense love felt by men of 60 to 70
years of age for the companions and
haunts of their childhood. In the
old days the problems of living were
simple but had 'to be provided by the
hard work of the people and since
everyone worked they. were united by
the common bands of necessity and
mutual fellowship.
A case in point is given in the
auction sale of the old Methodist
Church at Sheppardton where both
saints and sinners went to worship
for more than 50 years. This public
sale was hold May 16, 1932, and the
detailed story is told by the writer;
G. Hamilton Green, in his charming
book, "The Old Log School."
It was in this church that the good
people of Sheppardton worshipped
for over 50 years and it was there
that many of their children who went
out into the world to battle for a live-
lihood get their religious training.
Some may ask where is Sheppard -
ton. Sixty years ago it was a bright
and progressive hamlet on the pres-
ent Blue Water highway about eight
miles north of Goderich. In those
Bary days it might have been called
the Twin Towns of Sheppardton,,
since on the highway was to be found
the more imposing business portion
in which were two general stores, R.
T. Haynes kept one and the post of-
fice, while William Bennett made a
good bid for the patronage of the
town and country trade in the other.
Frank Hathaway kept the blacksmith
shop and George Hilton attended to
the thirst of travelers in the Royal
Oak Hotel.
I believe it was in this hotel that
a wily farmer met his match one
winter's day. Rumor told that this
farmer who rejoiced in the baptismal
name of Jacob and strove to emulate
the trickeiy of Jacob of old in deal-
ing with his grasping father-in-law,
Labatt. Suffice it to say that our
farmer Jacob got hold of a $100 bill
and night after night as he returned
home from Goderich on. his teaming
trips he treated all hands in the
hotel and presented his big bill in
payment but the genial Boniface
could not make change. Growing
tired of Jacobs repeated trick he
managed to gather enough money to-
gether for the last night and with a
minutely compiled account of the sly
farmer's purchases and tucking away
that elusive $100 bili in his pocket,
be counted out carefully tne change
to the discomfited Jacob.
But returning to Sheppardton, the
other twin of the burg was found
east of the town, up the boundary,
a short distance, where were to be
found the school house, George Bur-
rows' farm, Morrish's sawmill, a
blacksmith shop and Morrish's gen-
eral store. The population here was
greater than that in the highway
Own and the competition was keen
though friendly.
Some of the families in those days
were the Campbells, Bennetts, Bur-
rows, Hawkins, Postelewaites, Mor-
rishs, Fishers, Vanatones, Greens,
Srtnpsons and Fosters.
Then in 1880, the la,st of the old
landmarks was built, the Methodist
Church. Rev. L. 0. Rice, of the Nile
circuit, an old stalwart among the
Methodist ministers of that day, led
the people in their erection of the
church. Along with him were Thomas
Graham, James Graham, Joliet .Ech-
lin, John Morrish, Frank Hathaway,
and others. John Echlin was the first
Sunday School superintendent.
Among the large number of local
preachers who helped in the services
were Charles Girv!n, Joseph Neth-
erington, William Pellow, John
Washington, Thomas Stewart and
others.
For over half a century the old
church was sacred to all that was
best in the neighbourhood.
It was there the funeral sermons
were preached for the edification of
all t"esent on those sad occasions,
but the old church was also the scene
of the annual tea meeting when
young and old gathered from near
and far to eat and enjoy the good
things that were to be heard ht the
lively speech, afterwards.
All combined to make the old
church dear to everyone and it was
a sad assemblage who gathered for
the sale en that 16th day of May,
1932, Mr. Green tells that as the
day was cloudy all went inside the
church. -
"There was a sense of reverence as
well as sadness in the air and Auct-
ioneer Gundry, with all his tact,
could not raise so much as a smile
upon the faces of the gathering. The
old church building was knocked
down to Mr. Fry for $150." He
used the lumber to build summer cot-
tages on the bank of Lake Huron.
Today, since the church is gone,
the only building left of the pros-
perous old hamlet; is the .blacksmith.
shop, a sad ending to the Sheppard -
ton that at one time, was a thriving
businesseentre, serving a Largs cont-'
munity.
Huron Plowmen Advance
Plans For Big Mach
Though the International pIowing
match for Huron County is two years
away plans are pow being worked
out for establishing the necessary
machinery set up. In this connec-
tion, J, C. Shearer, agricultural rep-
resentative, has drawn up a plan for
co-ordinating ' the various depart-
ments of the work. In addition to
the chairman and deputy, secretary
and assistant, treasurer: and assist-
ant, the plan includes three co-ordin-
ators or key men each at the head of
five branches of the work and these
sub -divisions having each a eharrman
and committee. A meeting of the
general committee is to be held when
the personnel of the various sub-
committees will be decided on.
The committee is composed of J.
D. Thomas, 'Goderich, chairman; J.
C. Shearer, secretary; north end rep-
resentation, L. E. Cardiff, M,P., Bert
Hemingway, Gordon McGavin; south
end, Percy Passmore, William Quinn,
Ronald Williams. One of the chief
reasons for organizing so soon, Mr.
Shearer explains, is that those ap-
pointed to look after the various
branch details will have an opportun-
ity of seeing how the work is con-
ducted at the International match in
Elgin county this year and if pos-
sible improving on them.
Want Holiday Homes
For City Children
In addition to the children and
mothers sent each summer to Camp
Bolton, the Neighborhood Workers
Association strives to provide holi-
days for some 1,200 children who far
various reasons cannot be sent to
camp.
Through the County Horne Depart-
ment these children are sent to homes
within a radius of 150 miles from
Toronto. The Neighborhood. Workers
Association pays all transportation
costs bu't no board is paid.
Persons living in the country
who have room in their home for one
or two children generously cooperate
with the N. W. A. by taking city
children for a two week's vacation
period free of charge.
It is not expected that the hostess
will lay out any elaborate plan of
entertainment for the child. Any
home than can offer a garden—or a
nearby green field (practically un-
known to many children who live in
the factory areas; three plain, nour-
ishing meals a day, and a comfort-
able bed, can be a happy holiday spot.
Pressing need of the Neighborhood
Workers Association at present is to
locate farm homes where boys from
eight to twelve years of age can
realize their dream of `living on a
real farm:
Hostesses of previcus years have,
in a great many antes, invited back
to their homes the children who
visited then last year, Also, there
is very little difficulty in placing
small children around four to seven
years of age. But there are hundreds
of Children over seven -- many of
whom are called upon to bear respon-
sipilities itt their homes—who are in
need, and very deserving of a vaca-
tion.
Letters of invitation should be ad-
dressed to the Neighborhood Work-
ers Association, Country Homes De-
partment, 22 Wellesley Street, Tor-
onto. They should state clearly how
many children are invited; the age
and sex preferred, and give details
of the best transportation route, and
where the children will be met; also
a letter, 'Of reference from the min-
ister of their church.
All children are medically examin-
ed before leaving Toronto:
Unnecessary Accidents
In pursuance of its campaign to
reduce unnecessary accidents as, well
as to prevent avoidable sickness, the
Health League of Canada today is -
used a warning against recklessness
by young boaters and cyclists.
The 'growing use of the bicycle
imposes an extra strain on motor-
ists, and young riders should, both
with a view to their own safety and
out of consideration for others, study
discipline and restraint in the hand-
ling of their machines.
"Showing off" by riding with
hands sof the .handlebars is as dang-
erous as it is foolish. The rider has
no control over his machine and he
is likely to be thrown off without
warning if the front wheel strikes
even a slight obstruction.
Cyclists should avoid swerving
across the lanes of vehicles coming
behind them,, and should stay close
to the sidewalk as a matter of habit.
In regard to water sports, Health
League officials recommend that be-
ginners in rowing or paddling should
gain knowledge of the proper hand -
lin of their craft by going out with
more experienced boaters or canoe-
ists before attempting solo trips.
The, canoe especially requires a
sense of balance and of self-confid-
ence int the voyager if it is to be
used without clanger, and this can be
gained only by experience.
As a final warning, over -strenuous
exercise is nearly as bad as no ex-
ercise at all trem the point of view
of health, •

ACREAGE OF LINSEED
FLAX INCREASED
In the report of the National Bar-
ley and Linseed Flax committee pre-
sented by T. J. Harrison, Chairman
of the Committee, to the recent meet-
ing of the National Advisory Com-
mittee on Agricultural Services, it
was stated that a survey of all phases
of the linseed flax industry indicated
that Canada was not supplying the
home market by approximately 1,-
000,000 bushels, that there was a fur-
ther potential market in es United
States, and that the prairie provinces
particularly the northern areas, could
produce flax high in oil content, and
producing an oil, good in drying
quality. As a result of the survey,
the committee underto^k by means of
a publicity campaia•tn to increase the
production in order to meet Canadian
requirements. The result of this ef-
fort has been a substantial increase
in acreage.
•
The increase in Manitoba was from
70,330 acres in 1939 to 98,000 acres
in 1940, a gain of 27,700 acres; Sask-
atchewan, from 187,200 acres in 1939
to 240,000 acres in 1940, an increase
of 52,800 acres; Alberta, front 40,000
acres in 1989, to 70,000 in 1940, an
increase' elf 30,000 acres—total in-
crease for the prairie provinces, 110,-
500. For all Canada, there was an
increase of 112,000 acres, front 307,-
000 acres in 1939 to 420,000 acres in
1940. On the basis of the long Ulna
average per acre of 8.8 bushels,
states the report, this would mean
an increase in production in Western
Canada of approximately 970,000
bushels, or about 990,000 bushels for
all Canada. Other flax work under-
taken by the committee consists of
a plant breeding and variety testing
program, zoning of the country for
flax production, a study of the grade
standard's and methods of grading,
research work on quality of varieties,
and effect of environment on quality.
57 YEARS NON-STOP
PAINT -WORK
The Forth Bridge which celebrates
its 50th anniversary thisyear, is a
glutton for paint. Forty-five painters
are regularly employed on the 135
acres of steelwork.
About three years are required to
cover the whole fabric, and one com-
plete coat absorbs 120,000 pounds of
paint. Painting' has been in progress
since 1883, before the bridge was
completed, and it is estimated that
well over 900 tons of paint has been
used so far.
The famous bridge, a monument to
British steel, wag opened by King
Edward VII when Prince of Wales.,
•*dytd",Provided a direct east coast all
rail route between London and Scot -
and by spanning the Firth of Forth.
The bridge cost 42,500,000 and
materials put into,. it included up-
wards of 54,000 tons of steel, 6,-
000,000
,000,000 rivets, 740,000 cubic feet of
granite masonry, 64,300 cubic yards

RADIO CUTS OFF HITLER'S
ADDRESS
Los Angeles, July 20—Broadcast

the first part had been received,
Lewis Allen Weiss, vice-president

announcement was read from the
station KW:
"The management of this network
is of the opinion that it is not in
the public interest nor in harmony
with the attitude of this government
to permit the continuation of this
broadcast by Mr. Hitler from Ger-
many.
"We feel stns that our American
listeners will concur in our opinion
that Mr. Hitler should not be per-
mitted to use our American facilities
to justify his crimes against civili-
zation itself."

THAT LETTER B
Exeter Trines -Advocate: There has
been Considerable comment in some
of the papers that the letter "B" has
been appearing on the leaves of the
growing oats and this is taken as a
token that "B" stands for Britain

war. We mentioned this fact to sev-
eral farmers and were informed that
practically every oat leaf contains
what appears to be the letter "B"
and that it appears every season.
