It- was generally conceded that a pre-school medical examina- tion would save time and worry after the opening of school. Mrs: If, C. Lawson of Clinton fav- oured with a solo, accompanied by Mrs. E. Wendorf.' Mr. John Hartley; Inspector of Public' Schools for East Huron, was the special speaker of the evening. It is twenty-five years this sum- mer since Mr. Hartley left Clinton. Many changes have occurred since that tithe. Mr. Hartley said he had visited the school several times since his return, and there are many chan- ges, which have improved the school in many respects. According to Mr, Hartley the children of Clinton are a fine group of youngsters. The introduction of music has raised the tone, of all the lessons, their behaviour and even their play. Credit is due to such organizations as the Women's Institute -and the Home and School Association, who first sponsored the teaching of ,mu- sic and manual training in the schools. Now the school trustees are interested and are willing - to under- take the financial end, A few years ago Mr. and. Mrs. Hartley journeyed to Palestine and carried with thein a good camera, with which they recorded the places they visited: • The slides were in colour and aided Mr. Hartley in his description of interesting scenes 'in the Holy Land. Jerusalem was the starting point for the tour of the scenes of the life of Christ from His birth in a lowly stable in Bethlehem to his later home in Nazareth. There are churches built over the Sacred places, where one may meditate on the stirring New Testament story of the life of the Saviour. Also of great interest was the de- scription of present day Bethany, Cana and Capernaum, places the Sa- viour visited frequently before His crucifixion. One of the most beauti- ful scenes was Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, where Christ used to go after a toilsome day in the city. After the heckling and opposi- tion, it was a pleasant relief for IIint to ascend the Mount where He found refreshing peace and quietness. Remarkable facts were learned from Mr. Hartley's talk. One may still get a drink of water from Ja- cob's well or the well where Jesiis met the woman of Samaria. Although the Sea of Galilee is a small lake, there is still fish there to -day, al- though it has been fished by net since the time of Christ. The Dead Sea, And surroundings, formerly a desolate section of Palestine, is now a 'hive o f industry. Astounding quantities of minerals are beinig ta- ken from the Dead Sea. A large settlement has grown up, where the workmen have quarters. Many fine pictures of Jerusalem showed the Temple Area, the Via Dolorosa, the Golden Gate, and oth- ers revealed the city which is called the Holy City by several different religious bodies. A beautiful repro- duction of Holman Hunt's "The Light of the World" concluded the pictorial tour of. the Holy Land. John Cun- inglanie and Charles Mutch operat- ed the lantern. Mrs. Fraser of Goderich contribut- ed a delightful piano instrumental, The Mizpah benediction closed the meeting proper. Mrs. Cuninghame invited all to partake of the refresh- ments being served by Mrs. Fingland and the members of her hostess com- mittee. The classrooms and labora- tories were open for inspection. HOLMESVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Potter and Helen visited in Teeswater one day last week. Mrs. S. Walter is spending a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Barrie Walter, Taylor's Corners. Mr. and Mrs. Harry McCool Walton, were renewing acquaintances in the community last week. Mr. and Mrs. John Potter' were re- cent visitors with friends in London. Miss Bernice Bond, who, following an appendicitis operation, has been recuperating at her home, has return- ed to her duties as nurse -in -training at Goderich Hospital. The W. A. concert which was given in the basement of the church on Thursday night last, has been re- quested by Zion church, Taylor's Corners. The concert will take place in that church on Friday evening of this week. The ladies of the congregation are holding a quilting this afternoon (Thursday) at the home of Mrs. S. Walter. The Y.P.U. wlil not meet at all this week on account of the W. A. concert being given at Taylor's Cor- ners on Friday evening. The April, meeting of the W.M.S. took place at the home of Mrs. S. Walter, with Mrs. Bert Trewartha in charge. After the opening hymn, Sentence prayers were offered by Mrs, S. Walter and Mrs. Ed. Trewar- tha; then the gathering repeated the Lord's Prayer. The Scripture' lesson was in two parts, which were read by Miss_ Mary Grigg and Miss Alice Chambers, respectively To answer the roll:` call, each member used the theme, "Love." Mrs. 121.' Grigg, Jr. gave an interesting reading. Mrs. Bett Trewartha told a beautiful story celled, "Janie's Idea :f Christ,', It was well given and proved to be very interesting.

OBITUARY MRS. MARGARET MCMURRAY, Weyburn, Sask. ' Mrs, Margaret 'McMurray, wife of the late John McMurray, and a resi- dent of Weyburn, Sask., for the past 39 years, died at the home . of her daughter, Mrs. O. S. Mitchell, last Thursday.

DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD Ambulance Route is Crippled Scout's Map Test A map of the route over which he passed in an ambulance was one of the "Pathfinder" tests passed by Scout Frank McCarley, of the Rob- ert Louis Stevenson Scout Troop of the Thistletown, Ont., Sick Children's Hospital, in completing his qualific- ations as a First Class Scout. Frank who hails from Fort Erie, Ont., was the fourth member of this scout troop of handicapped boys to successfully complete the Scout's first class tests. Fire making and cooking tests are passed at clay "camps" held on the grounds of the institution. Scouts and Coronation Programmes -As a special Coronation service of loyality, combined with a good turn, the Boy Scouts of Canada, with their brother Scouts throughout the Em- pire, have taken on the task of sell- ing a special edition of the Coronat- ion Programme throughout the Dom- inion. The service of loyality is ensuring that every person possible, in whatever out-of-the-way place, may secure a copy of this loyal souv- enir, and the good turnis involved in the fact that the financial return front this special edition sale throu- ghout the Empire goes to the "King George V. Jubilee Trust Fund," a fund launched in connection with the Silver Jubilee of the late King George V., and now perpetuated as a Memorial Fund for "the advance- ment of youth organizations of all kinds, and especially to help their organizations equip Ieaders." A cir- cular of instructions sent out from Dominion Headquarters makes it quite clear that the Scout sale of Coronation Programmes "is not com- peting with anybody," but is to be a distribution in the nature of a "mop- ping up sale" to those who otherwise might not be reached, or who other- wise might overlook securing a copy. The programmes are now being dis- tributed by Provincial Scout Head- quarters. An order restricting Scout sale to May 12 and later las now been amended to permit Scouts to sell programmes, within the limits above indicated, after April 23rd, Legion Will Co-operate It was announced at a meeting of Goderich Post No. 109, Canadian Legion, on Thursday, week, that the branch was working with the decora- tion committee for Old Home Week, and arranging for a drumhead ser- vice' in Harbour Park on Sunday af- ternoon, August lst.

It was also decided that, in the ev- ent the town prepares a program for Coronation Day, May 12th, the branch will be glad to take part. The plan was put forward that the local com- pany. of the Huron -Middlesex Regi- ment might turn out for a ceremon- ial presentation of the colors.

Order Your Chicks Today The official Egg and Poultry Market Review from Ottawa, elated April 16th, contains the following striking statements: "In Ontario and Quebec, particularly, there is reason to believe that laying stock is now away below normal.... This condition, combined with reduced purchases of baby chicks, is causing real concern over the possibility of an egg shortage next Fall. The impression now is that eggs will be scare from September to January ... °1 These statements bear out what we have been saying all 'Wniteo and Spring—that there never was a more promising, time to get into high-quality poultry stock. So again we urge alert -minded poultrymen to get into Bray's "Xtra -Profit" stock at the low prices we are able to quote this season. May -hatched "Xtra -Profit" pullets will lay m October, if well reared; and will cash in all Fall on the high prices we are bound to have if eggs are scarce. Slower -grow- ing birds would miss the first half of the high -price season. Better Still—Buy Started Pullets On the strength of the above forecast, we believe you will be still farther ahead to buy started pullets, and get them into the laying house that much sooner. We can supply you with "Xtra -Profit" pullets, 3 to 6 weeks old, that are well' started and should lay in August or early September, if you keep them growing. And , our "Xtra -Profit" stock has the reputation for CONTINUOUS high production, without moults, slumps, or other set -backs.
