Londesboro, in the early 70's wa one of the most; progressive village in Western Ontario. At that time the 1,Vingbam ar Clinton gravel road had pi'obabl more traffic over it than any rut road in : Western Ontario. Clinton at that time was the lead ing grain market, and fanners fro the North Townships and from tel County of Bruce as far as 50 and 6 miles hack brought their grain an pork to Clinton market. And it wa nothing unusual"to see a string o teams- a utile long between Londes born and Clinton, Many of thes farmers from the far north, stayer at Londesboro overnight, and mad Clanton early in the morning. John Lashsun kept the hotel and it was well kept and John Lashamn was respected bythe- whole 1community. 1 }Ie was later elected to the Township Council. The general store was kept by John Neelands, who was also postmaster and Telegraph operator'. Arthur Woodman was•the merchant tailor and Anthony Cockerlhne was the vil- lage,'blacksmith. s IIe was succeeded by R. Adams, who s 1 went from there to Blyth school, but who went into the general store busi x1'tress in Londesboro in later years. ya Just about this time a new industry al sprang up, when a cheese factory was 1 built near the river by Messrs; Cal- lander, Scott & :Co; of Clinton. This n1 was a great boon to the farmers, who e had their milk .gathered daily from 0 their little platforms' on the road - 1 side, in 10 gallon cans, and paid for s'every month. 4 This firm also purchased the Gen- -, eral store business of John Neelands, e who removed to Wingham. 1 The following year a lodge of Good e Templet's was organized with a large ;membership which has since ceased to function. i In the years following an Orange d e n L o No. 863 Organized which was g still holds the fort, and turns out in ilas'ge numbers on the 12th of July. George Ruddel.I was the first W.M. I- In the meantime Dr. A. Taylor had hung out his shingle and had work - h ed into a good practice, Messrs. J, Bolger and Jas. Kerr op- ened out Shoe Shops and Messrs. W. Whitely and W. Riley were busily en- gaged in the erection of . barns and residences and this was tate time when Londesboro had its biggest boom. The'L. H. B.: Railway was built shortly after this time, and a great lot of the Lordesboro trade went to Whenham and Brunsdon condu• cted a large carriage factory, • and later these wren dissolved 'partnership and hacl separate factories, employing be- tween 20 and 3b hands each. Huber 'Bros. had the sawmilland grist mill and C. Clifton lead the potash works. Londesboro Methodist Church with. a very large membership, had prob- ably the '1 largest Y Sunda School in g o Y the County. Humphrey Snell,' pro- minent farmer and Reeve of the Township, was the Siiperintendent, and Rev. Thos. Cloworth was the pastor. W. R. Warner was the leader of the choir with John Neelands • as the tenor singer: Jas. Braithwaite was. the teacher of the Bible class with Sandy Callanderas assistant. The 13th concession probably made the largest addition to the Sunday 1 School attendance, most of the fam- ilies contributing three and four. scholars each.

Other fend - lies on adjacent lines were Jamieson, Snell; Crawford, Craven, Lee, Rud- dell, Mogridge, Adams, and Sunder- cocks. • Messrs. Craven and Brunsdon were the oldest members of the congrega- tion. No. 7 school 0o had Mr. S. P. Buck- land as teacher, who was succeeded by Mr. E. Bowers. • No. 8 school had Mr. John McClin- ton as teacher fer a number ofyears. Old Boys and Girls at the Kincardine reunion went to school for a day, for- mer principals presiding. And it is • also said that they were rather un- ruly pupils: Chicken Thieving In Huron County As many as 250 chickens, it is said, have disappeared front, various farms hi West Wawanosh; 300 in Howick and 400 in Stephen besides other parts of the county.

Its Bureau of Agriculture Eco- nomics said that world prices for wheat are expected to average high- er than last year because of smaller supplies. 11 was 'estimated that the 1936-37 -world supply outside of Russia and China would be at least 230,000,000 bushels below '1935-86. World production was tentatively estimated at 3,51 0000 0bushels. 0, 0 or 20;000,0000 less than last year. The world carry over was 210,000,000 un- der the previous year: The bureau predicted that Liverpool quotations on Wheat would be higher and that the United States wheat price would maintain about its same eciationslrip'to world prices. Canadian wheat production was listed as 25,000,000 bushels under that of a year ago, with a drop of 54,000,- 000 bushels in European production this year. A serious short of wheat in Bri- tain has 'also been predicted by the Daily Herald, Labor, which declared that "after five years of abundance there is going to be a shortage." The newspaper observed that tate prices for wheat are now higher than et any time within the past five years. Drought in North America has caused an important reduction in United States and Canadian exports to Great Britain and the heavy rains have ruined crops in Europe, it stat- ed. Italy and France, -which hitherto purchased little foreign grain, the newspaper added, are importing large euantities from Canada. The Millers' Mutual Association has reportedly decided to raise the price of flour one shilling (25 cents) a sack, DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD Again reflecting the rapid growth of the Scout Movement in India, the Province of Bombay reported a membership increase in 1935 of over 6,000.

An International Scout Club At -the start of his present tout Lord Baden-Powell attended a rally of 2.600 French Scouts and Guides at Marseilles. While there he paid a visit to the International Foyer, or Club -hostel for foreign Scouts. This hostel, which includes two well appointed club rooms, has been in operation threeyears, and in that time has entertained 460 foreign Scouts in touring parties, and 150 Scouts travelling individually. Fills Jobs With Boy Scouts An Ulster edsployer bas informed Boy Scout Headquarters at Belfast that he always o taimshis boys from Scout troops, and before settling them in their; jobs consults their Scoutmasters as to the particular capabilities shown in their. Scooting. According to the information thus received •he places, some boys in mechanical departments, others in the warehouse, others in the office. The method has given excellent re- sults. An Edinburgh Professor On Scouting Discussing 'juvenile "behaviour cases" brought before the psycholog- ical clinic of Edinburgh University,. Prof. Jas. Drever, Ph. D., stated that he invariably asked such boys if they belonged to the Scouts, or any simil- ar organization. If they did not, he recommended that they join a Scout. troop, "in the belief that behaviour 'difficulties would be lessened, if not entirely removed, if this advice were followed. The fact was, the Scout Movement supplied those conditions which were most essential for thee - as cutin • of normal development at gp a certain stage in a boy's life, and more especially in' the circumstances brought about by the course which modern civilization' had taken." STANLEY Miss H Isabel Graham of Seaforth is spending her holidays at the home of Mis.

In seeking to bring about an . ar- rangement whereby Manitoba should have a government capable of trans- acting the business of the province even an amalgamation of the Liberal_ Progressives and the Conservatives was discussed.
