At the time of her ; death, Miss Waldron was living at the hone of her cousin, Mr. B. Waldron of Stanley township, but 'before, that time had lived in Clinton. She was. born, in Port Hope, the daughter of the late Isaac Waldron and Elizabeth Winehip. She was the last surviving child of her parents, and, leaves her cousins in Stanley and relatives in. the States. 14Iiss Waldron's mother, Elizabeth Winship, was closely allied to the prominent family of Winship .of New England. 'Jabez Winship was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Governor Winship of Massachusetts and .Judge Winship of Buffalo, were also members of this family. MRS.

Surviving are her husband, Mr. Lack Kennedy, two daughters, Mrs. Weeks of Toronto, and Mrs. No- ble of Kitchener. A service will be held at Knox Presbyterian church, Toronto, on Friday afternoon.

SY..STEM OF SECONDARY' SCHOOLS REVISED (Continued from page 1) tice, shop work or household science, rind music and art. First year will be chiefly, for a student to. explore his own aptitudes. Ian the second year the principle of voluntary selection of subjects and courses; will be introduced and the stu- dent will choose his road. "In each of the courses nearly half the time will go • to the study of Eng- lash, history and geography and to instruction in the preservation of, good habits of health," he said. "Pro- vision is Provision -is. made in the general course for Latin as well as modern lan- guages, and for the student who wish- es to continue manual work or house- hold science as part of his or her gen- eral education." Provision will be made for the granting of intermediate certificates, indicating studies and progress, at the end of the second year. This will recognize that many students reach the school -leaving age, 16, at the end of the second year and do not wish to go on. The course of the first two years" will givethein a good general training.. Third and fourth years of the four courses will carry forward the cen- tral core of English, social sciences and health. Provision wil be made for the study of mathematics and science most closely related to the students specialized interest' and for further studies in modern languages, music and art. THOMAS J. POTTER It is with deep regret that we re- cord the death at his hone on No. 8 highway on Tuesday morning, March 23rd, 'of Mr. Thomas James Potter, who was in his 83rd year. He had been in poor health for a number of years but suffered a very bad heart attack on the Friday previous .from which he never fully, rallied. Through all his suffering he was ever patient and kind, and thoughtful for those aicund him. To witness his patience and Christian fortitude was a lesson to all who came in contact with him. Mr. Potter was born in Goderich township on Sept. 27th, 1854, and spent his whole life in this section. In 1879 he was married to Miss Fanny Jervis who predeceased him May 22nd, 1932. They farmed in Gode- rich township where they spent all their married life. He was a faith - ail member of the Holnnesville Meth- odist, later United Church,where he seldom missed a service while health permitted. He was a member of the Official Board of the church and also a valued member of the choir for many years, and when his health fail- ed and he was not able to attend the services he was always keenly inter- ested in everything pertaining to his Heavenly Father's business. He leaves to mourn the loss of a hind, loving and devoted father, four sons, William, John, Fred and Clar- ence, all farming near hone, and one daughter, Frances, at home. There also survive, two brothers, 0. W. Potter of Clinton, and John, of Wood- stock, and three sisters, Mrs. J. Cook, Colborne township; Mrs. G. Mahins, of Springford, and Mrs. G. Huller of Clinton. The Latest Fish Story, Anything is apt to happen in Kin• one father will vouch for. sardine as n The other day he advised his son not to go near the river to skate,as the :ice wgs no longer- safe for the ,popu- lar,;pastime.,,Z:Iowevei-,,'children will be ehil{i;en and.for tho,next hour all was quiet around the house. Presently a noise between a laugh and a cry was heard and the youngster rushed into the house soaked to the hide and an icy coating forming on his clothes, onto a large hand he held In oneg suc- ker. He had crashed through the shallow ice only to light upon the probably, surprised fish. Fish was on the supper menu but it is doubtful if the parents will send the child back to repeat the performance. The funeral, which was very large- ly attended, was held on Thursday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock; from his home, and was conducted by his pas- tor, Rev. J. W. Hebert. During the service Miss Elva Proctor and Mrs. Leslie Jervis rendered the beautiful duet, "No Night There." The pall- bearers were six nephews, George Potter, Lorne, Oliver and Leslie Jer- vis, E. J. Trewartha and Win. Mer- rill. • Hnterment was made in the family plot in, Clinton cemetery. GODERICH TOWNSHIP Mr. and Mrs. George Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Connell of Varna, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. R. Grigg and family of Goderich town- ship. ' Mr. Roy Connell of Tuckersmith spent a couple of days with friends in Goderich Township, and with Mr. and Mrs.' Bert Findlay. Miss Agnes Broadfoot was a guest at Easter at the home of her uncle, Mr. Win. Middleton. Miss Catherine Callahan, of Lon- don, is visiting her cousin, Miss Hel- en Welsh, of the Bayfield line.

Pr. -Grace Lobb, 89; Billie Lobb, Secondary school graduation diplo- mas, replacing the present matricula- tion certificates, will be issued at the end of the fourth year.. Students in household , commercial and industrial courses will be on an equal footing with those pursuing more academic studies. Hn the past students who would have profited greatly by, a course of training in the manual arts have not infrequently been diverted to the so- called academic subjects by reason of a presumption of inferiority associat- ed with shopwork and other practical activities," he said. The department of education was convinced the sev- eral courses would be of equal value to students not proceeding to univer- sity. In grade 13, presently called upper school, only one subject -health edu- cation -will be compulsory. Provis- ion will be made for advanced in- struction in all. subjects now on the curriculum with the addition of geo- graphy, economics and mineralogy. A certificate to be known as the secondary school honor graduation diploma will be issued to those who gain standing in. four to six subjects in grade 13. A student will be enab- led to return for a second year in grade 13 without repeating any course. Committees were now studying the content of subject -matter for each subject in each grade. Number on roll, 15; average atten- dance, 13.

CANADIANS AND TIH.EIR INDUSTRIES AND THEIR BANK •' THE FOREST INDUSTRIES • The forest area of Canada on which there is timber of merchantable size is larger than the total arca of France and Germany combined; the standing timber on this is estimated at 274 billion cubic feet. An area of even greater extent is covered with young growth, This vast reservoir of wood is the source from which Canada drew wealth in excess of $110,000,000 in 1934 (the latest figures available)'in the form of primary products such as: • raw material for sawmills, pulp mills, wood distilla• tion, charcoal plants; • logs. pulpwood, bolts, etc., for export; • firewood, railroad des, posts, poles, fence rails, mining timbers; • maple sugar, balsam gum, resin, cascara, tanbark, moss, etc The total value of manufactured products made princi- pally from raw materials of forest origin'as $404,435,948,. Forest products in 1936 afforded an excess of exports over imports -$158,560,000 -very impottant to Canada's international trade. The Bank of Montreal has co-operated with every actio• ity of the forest industries -assisting in every phase of, production and marketing. The Bank has had the priv. ilege of financing a large share of the export business of these industries. Thousands of workers are depositors, sharing in the safety and facilities of the Bank with their employing companies, * * * Some of the Bank's services most frequently used by em• ployers and employees in the forest trades: Commercial accounts, foreign currency accounts; financing of shipments; commercial loans and discounts; collections; trade and credit information; safekeeping of securities; savings accounts; per. sonal loans; money orders; travellers cheques; banking by mail.
