62 YEARS MARRIED TODAY
Mr. and Mrs. George C. Petty,
widely known Hensall residents, will
observe the 62nd anniversary of their.
marriage today 2Thursday). The day
will be spent quietly at their home
with members of their family.
Mr and Mrs. Petty; who are both
in their 85th year and enjoy excellent
health, were married in Hensall by
the Rev. Tyler on June 29, 1877. They
had a family of seven, four of whom
survive. They are: Mrs. Lorne Scott,
Toronto; Mrs. Abbott, Detroit; Mrs.
Kennedy, Winnipeg, and Mrs. G.
Smith, St. Marys, One son, Hanson,
and a daughter, Gertrude, paid the
supreme sacrifice in the Great War,
while a daughter, M1]icent died as a
result of illness contracted at the
war.
Mrs, Petty before her marriage
was a daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Hinsdale, of Hay township. Mr.
Petty was a son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. John' Petty,. pioneer residents
of Hay.
Both are identified with the early

SPEAKS ON SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATION.
Speaking on larger units of school
administration, V. K. Greer, chief in
'Spector of schools for Ontario, laid
details of the plan' before the Huron
o u n t y Educational Association
meeting in. Wingham on Saturday
afternoon,
According to Mr. Greer the idea is
to take from five to 14 school sec-
tions and place them under one ad-
ministration. •
In the case of all the schools in
one township, going under 'this
scheme, the board of trustees would
be made up of one trustee from each
section elected at the municipal elec-
tions. The secretary and treasurer
of the township would nineteen also
for the combined school sections.
The governing of the schools would
be taken away from the localized
manner in which it is now existing
in so many cases. "It would be more
economical in operation, and the
equipment of the schools could also
be standardized. Teachers could be
exchanged from one school •section to
theother,and the wagespaid teach-
ersers
by the combined schools would be
the same," Mr. Greer said.
Mr. Greer pointed out to the edu-
cators that this was definitely not
the idea of consolidated schools. It
merely meant that while the school
section were banded together for the
purpose of administration they would
still be independent of the other and
individual.
The delegates were welcomed by
Mayor Crawford. President R. H.
Thompson, of Belgrave, spoke brief-
ly. J. W. Trusler, the field secretary
of the 0.E,A. delivered an address
on the equality of education and.
taxation. Huron County Inspectors
Game, Beacom and Kincaid, spoke
briefly on what the department of
education is doing in rural schools
and also outlined the schedule of
grants being given to the rural
schools. •
The following officers were elected
for 1939-1940: President, R. II.
Thompson, of Belgrave; secretary -
treasurer, Mrs. Robert Davidson, of
Dungannon; vice-president, Rev. A.
M. Young, of Hensall; Committee
members, Reuben Gate, of Dashwood,
and L. Hopper, of Morris township.

On Monday members of the Huron
County Shorthorn Breeders Club
joined with members of the Perth
County: Club in a visit to outstand-
ing farms in Toronto district, spend-
ing a profitable day in viewing the
choicest Shorthorn stock and discus-
sing mutual problems.
The outcome of the visit was the
passing of a strong resolution to the
Huron County Home committee re-
questing them to select a Shorthorn
herd toreplace the old herd recently
sold. The reason for the resolution
is two -fold. In view of the fact
that of the 115,000 head of cattle
in Huron County 85% are of the
Shorthorn breed, the establishment
of such a herd at the County Home
would make available a supply of
good breeding stock to the farmers
of Huron, in addition to supplying
milk and cream for the inmates,

suffer from sunburn, oe what is call-

young growing pigs of the white
breeds have tender skins, and are
