The News -Record St. Pauls Church, Clinton Reviews More than Century As Ullit In Three Diocese By N. A. McInnes in the London Free Press • In the past summer, through the. auspices of the Women's Auxiliary,, St. Paul's Church, Clinton, had a book published entitled "One Hundred' and Five Years of Faithful Witness, 1225- 1940." In this book are found many items of historical interest, The Church of England began in Canada in the year 1787, when Rev. Charles Inglis, an Irishman, was made bishop' of British North Armen' lea, with his home in Halifax, N.S. Here the oldest church of England in Canada is located, having been built some time before Mr. Inglis was ap- pointed bishop. In 1793 the Diocese of Quebec, in- cluding Quebec of that time and ell land westward, was set apart and Rev. Jacob Mountain became its first bishop. In 1839 the Diocese of Tor- onto was set apart and it consisted of what was known then as Upper Canada. Archdeacon John Strachan became the first bishop of Teronto. In 1857 the Diocese of Huron .was formed consisting of 13 counties of Western Ontario and Dr. Benjamin Cronyn, Teeter at London, became the first Bishop of Huron. Since St. Paul's Church, Clinton, had its beginning in the year 1835, it really has been in three different 'diocese, Quebec, Toronto and Huxon. In 1831 Jonas. Gibhings, Peter and Stephen Vanderburgh came as the Bret settlers of what is now Clinton, which was first called Vanderburghi's Corners. In 1832 the Canada Company set apart one acre of land, already deed- ed to Peter Vanderburgh and on it erected a frame church, where the present church now stands. The frame church was destroyed by fire in 1845. A. log schoolhouse was built on the southeast corner of the grounds in 1842 and the first teacher was Alex- ander Osbaldeston. Until 1804 the church and school grounds were used as a burying ground and here the first school teacher was later buried. In 1863 Peter Vanderburgh deeded the church, school house and grounds to Henry Ransford, W. Pugh and E, Ledyard in trust for the Episcopal Church of England and Ireland. In 1844 William Rattenbury bought the land owned by Peter Vandenburgh and changed the name Vanderburgh's Corners to Clinton in honor of Lord Clinton, on whose land the Ratten- bury family had resided in Devon- shire, England. Later .Mr. Ratter- bury and Mrs. Racey deeded land to the church at Clinton which became the rectory grounds: The first church after that built by tha Canada Company was erected on the site of the rectory. It was made of frame and was to eerve until a more substantial building could be erected. In 1882 a new brick church was built across the street on the site of the old graveyard and the frame church was moved over to serve as a Sunday school until 1884 when it was sold for $20 to be used as a downtown store. It was later dcstroverl by fire. On January 15, 1865. the new briok church was burned down but tender the supervises of W. W. Ferran and his assistant, W. J. Gr Egg, 'Necessary financial arrangements were made and a new church was built by No- vember of the same year. The build- ing of the now church was made pos- sible by the generous financial assis- tance given by the congregations of St. James, Toronto: Trinity Church. Toronto: Church of England, Galt. and the Church of England, Goderich, and also two churches in Quebec. From 1832 to 1858 Clinton was vis- ited by two travelling missionaries but the first regular clergyman, Rev. James Carmichael, an Irishman, came in 1859. He remained until 1868 and was succeeded by the following in the order given below: Rev. Sherr du Bourdieu, Rev. Hans Caulfield, Rev. Mr. ICelloc'g. Rev. T. C. Des P,nrree. Dr. Henry Wall, Rev. C. R, Mathews, Rev. William Craig, Rev. 3. H. Fair - ley, Rev. J. F. Parke, Rev. C. R. Gunn, Rev. C. E. Jeakins, Rev. J. C. Potts, Rev. J. A. Robinson, Rev. S. E. Mcicegney, Rev. C. L Bllkey, Rev. L. C. Harrison, Rev. K. McGoon to the present rector, Rev. A. H. O'Neil, PREPARE YOUR LAWN FOR WINTER (Experimental Farms News) It is a common practice to neglect the lawn after the final mowing in the fall, There are, however, a num- ber of operations which may be car- ried out to good advantage. Although the grass may be permitted to go in- to the winter slightly longer than the normal height, a long, matted growth is definitely undesirable. It is recom- mended that the tm'f be cot as long as it is making active growth, says J. H. Boyce, Division of Forage ,Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, The 'removal of weeds from the lawn is just as important during the fall as it is during the growing .sea- son. If the lawn is thoroughly weed- ed just before the freeze-up and prop- er fertilization and other suitable cultural practices are started suffic- iently early the following spring, future lawn weed problems will be considerably reduced. A great Ileal of the winterkilling which takes place in lawns may be attributed to poor drainage, either because of smothering by standing water or Re -sheets, or because of fail- ure of the lawn to drain rapidly in the spring, thus encouraging disease. Consequently, every effort should be made to ensure proper drainage. In some cases where the subsoil is very compact, tile drains are necessary in. order to provide adequate under- drainage. It is important that there are no low areas in the lawn surface. Shallow depressions may be levelled by topds•essing with good topsoil. In the case of deeper hollows it may be necessary to lift the turf. build un the level of the soil to the desired• height with good topsoil and then re- place the sod. All leaves anti other trash should, be raked From the lawn during the fall. The practice of providing win- ter covers of manure, straw, leaves or similar materials is not recom- mended, since they are not necessary and frequently do more harm than good. In addition to being unsightly, such covers tend to smother the grass, favour disease, and harbor insects. Manure and straw may contain num- erous weed seeds. Leaves are partic- ularly harmful, since a mat of wet leaves will smother the grass very quickly. If manure is used on the Iawn as a topdressin,g it should be finely pulverized and 'worked down into the turf so that no lumps lie on the suefaoe. Any manure used should be thoroughly decomposed and free from weed seeds. Several of the late fall operations are designed to coinbat the disease known as snow mrould. The fungus, causing this disease' thrives under moist, cool conditions. Although it may occur : in the fall, winter or spring, it is usually most prevalent in the early spring when the snow is melting. In the first stages of the disease areas of the turf become cov- eyed with a white cottony growth. Later these areas become gray in col- our and finally the affected grass lyecomos light brown. In serious.casec the diseased turf is killed. On lawns where the disease is known to be Prevalent it is a good policy to treat for snowmould in the late fall. An application of a mixture consisting Of two-thirds calomel and one-third bichloride of mercury at the date of three to four cutaces per 1,000 square feet produces satisfactory results, The best way to apply this material is to mix the required amount of the mixture with sufficient dry sand to spread it uniformly over the area. Even distribution is essential. It is desirable tc lightly water the lawn immediately after application. These materials are extremely poisonous and corrosive to metals, and should be handled accordingly. SOUTH AFRICA BUYS CANADIAN POULTRY An order for Canadian Record of Pes formance poultry breeding stock has just been received from South Africa. The girder is for two cockerels and six pullets. The prices paid are considered very satisfactory, being $25 each for the cockerels and $15 each for the pullets, f.o.b. point of shipment, This order follows negotiations car- ried on by the Production Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture and follows several similar orders re- ceived in the last two years. from British Guiana and Trinidad. The fame of Canadian Record of Performance poultry has during the past few years, spread to several countries and it is reeognized that under the system of breeding, poultry for greatly increased egg production and move suitable market ,meat type from valuable sources of foundation. breeding stock have been established in all provinces of Canada. The Direetcr of Agriculture for British Guiana visited Ottawa recent- ly and' said he was greatly pleased in regard to the quality and egg pro- duction of several pens of Canadian 11.0.P..breeding stock which had been shipped to the Department of Agri- culture in British Guiana in the last two years. He reported that the birds had averaged 75 per cent production since their arrival; even in the period that they were becoming acclimatiz- eel to tropical conditions, which are decidedly different from the Canad- ian climate in which they had 'been reared. For years 'past, large numbers of Canadian R.O.P. breeding stock have been exported to the United States where commercial breeders and, hatcherymen have long recognized its value m increasing the quality of their breeding flock.

The Winter For Warm Weather And Summer Sports Canada has an evergreen play- %a- ground where snow is an ephemeral novelty, flowers bloom every month of the year and even in inid-winter the day's recreation can include yachting, tennis, hik- ing, lawn bowling, fishing or a round of golf over the fast, green fairways of any of -a half dozen outstanding courses, Victoria, centre of this beautiful British Columbia evergreen play- ground, has become in recent years an outstanding Canadian "winter" resort; this year it seems to be on the verge of its busiest season with international' ex- change offering Americans ars at- tractive financial inducement of. ten per cent on their dollar, while Canadian lovers of mild weather will find that Vancouver Island has the only resort of this kind on the continent, which they can visit now that holiday trips to the United States have been banned. The main competitive sports event of the season is the lm - press Winter Golf Tournament which is held on well trimmed grassy fairways and greens at a time when other Canadian courses are .several feet under the snow- drifts. This year's tournament, the ,lath annual, will be held on the . Oalt Bay course, March 9 to 15. The oulStanding social event of the season is Christmas at the Empress Hotel where Canada s most -English city celebrates with. the time-honored boar's head,. Yule logs, wassail bowl and carols.
