The strawberry festival and enter- tainment given by the Ladies' Aid of Ebenezer church on the lawn of Mr, and Mrs. Carman Tebbutt on Friday evening last was a most decided suc- cess. Three or four hundred guests enjoyed the very fine supper provided by the ladies and all voted it a most enjoyable one. The weather last week was anything but garden -party weather, but Friday was fine and fair, and the evening was enjoyed. After supper a play entitled "Clos- ed Lips," was put on by the young people of the congregation. This play', although there was laughter and happiness galore, with love and marriage, held a tragedy,' that of 'a than who had spent fifteen years in prison for a, crime he had net com- mitted. FIe makes an important in- vention while in prison and is re, leased and -returns home, He is not any too welcome. His sisterr and her husband 'have reared his. son as their own, and he is engaged to marry the daughter and step -daughter of his foster•iparents and the young people are devoted totheir parents. The boy is angry that his father should come back and' he thinks of going a- way rather than bring his father's disgrace upon the gird, The father says. he can clear his naive and is urged to do it by the son, but when the son finds that the man implicated 15 the girl's father he Is just as anx- ious that it should not bre done. The play ends happily, however, when it becomes known .that another man had confessed to having fired the fatal shot and as he is dead nobody is made miserable by the revelation, except e little waif who is adapted by the man who had served the prison term for his crime. The young actors and actresses each took their parts very well in- deed, The play was put on under the direction of Miss Edith Paters sere Those taking part . were: Mrs. Frank Jones, -Mrs. Carman Tebbutt; Misses Margaret Riggin, Gertrude E'asom. and Annie William's and Mes- ses, Harry Wiillams, Ir¢in, Tebbutt, Carman Tebbutt, Maurice Bateman and Mervyn Lobb. Between acts the :Messrsi Lobb contributed some very pleasing mn- ale which was appreciated.

THURS., JUN9 27, 1935 ....r The first train of the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway, Canada's first rail line which is now a part of the Canadian National Railways System and construction of which was started justone hundred years ago. The picture is reproduced from an old print in the Chateau de Ramezay,112Museum, _Montreah,... CANADA'S FIRST RAILWAY STARTED 100 One hundred years ago this month construction was begun en the first part of the present Canadian Nation- el Railways System. This was the, Champlain and St. Lawrence Rail- road, a line from Laprairie, near Montreal, to St. johns, sixteen miles distant on the storied Richelieu Riv- er. From St. John transportation to New York was effected by boat through the Richelieu, to Lake Cham- plain and then along the Hudson Bivere This, •Oanatilafs 'first enter - prize in •railway building, was in reality a portage railroad, the ori- ginal purpose being to shorten the jeurney between Montreal and New York. It is of peculiar significance in sttudying the development of transportation .on this northern part. of the Continent to note that a great deal of it was international in char- aci(er, there . being much' traffic to and from New York by the Richelieu River to Lake Champlain and thence YEARS AGO via the Hudson. :Construction on Canada's fust ven- tura in railroad building commenced in June 1835, the road being opened for trafiic a year later. Operation of this pioneer railroad went on for ten years, when it was decided, to length- en the route. Rails were extended to St. Lambert (just across the river from Montreal) in one direction and to Rouses Point, on Lake Champlain, in the other. In 1846-47 the Mon- treal and Lachine Line • was begun and completed. Five years later the railway was extended as the Lake 5t. Louis and Province Line, which ran froze, Caughnawaga to Moore's Junction, where it made connection with the American roads. This en- larged line, later known as the Montreal' and New York Railroad, did not pay and was absorbed by the pioneer Champlain and St. Lawrence. In 1852 the pioneer was absorbed by the Grand Trunk. Railway, which, in turn, was, absorbed on January 30, 1923, by the Canadian National Raii- ways. The humble beginning of a cen- tury ago, with its 16 miles of track, has now grown into the great system whichconstitutes the Canadian Na- tional Railways of today, operating 24,000 miles of line, the largest rail- road system on the American eontin- ent. From the •pigmy wood -burning engine, the Dorchester, and a few carriage -like coaches, operating an a few utiles of strap -line track, has grown the tremendous extension ef lines spread like a spider's web over the Dominion, the vast telegraph mileage, the chain of modern hotels in the prineipal cities of Canada, the express service covering the entire Dominion and the fleet of passen- ger and freight vessels linking Can- ada with the West Indies and the Antipodes. DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD European countries leading in Boy Scout membership are: France 60,171; Poland, 56,807; Flungary, 40,959; C'zo- chaslovakia, 21,344; 'Sweden, 17,119.

SUMMER PROTECTION How To Deal With Mosquitoes, Flack Flies and -Punkies Now that the *arm, season is here those troublesome biting' insects the mosquitoes,the black flies and the tiny midges known as "pinkies" or "no-see•+ums" are likely to cause dis- comfort and anoyiance, par^ti!cularly about summer residences and in the woods. It is therefore timely to consider ways and means of protect- ing oneself from these small hut bloodthirsty assailants. When camping, avoid selecting a camp site near marshes, swamps and stagnant pools where mosquitoes breed, or in the near vicinity of dense woods and underbrush, where they .shelter.' A dry, open space to, the woods, or on some fairly exposed promentory, i's' preferable. Mareovea, it is advisable not to camp close to the .rapids of streams and rivers, for it is from such places that black files often emerge in great numbers. .A. good fly -proof tent is invaluable in protecting one from insect pests, par. titularly at night, when sleep is de- sirable._, Around summer cottages, and other dwellings, the grass should be kept cut short, and 'shrubbery and under- brush in which the insects shelter should be kept down to a minimum. Proper screening of doors and win- dows is essential to comfort where biting flies are prevalent. Screens preferably should not be 'less than 16 meshes to the inch. Pyrethrum -kerosene sprays, of which many brands are on, the mar- ket, are useful in destroying insects that find their way indoors whether it bo a permanent residence, a sum- mer cottage or a tent. A. simple for- mula for such a spray is as follows: thoroughly mix one-half pound of pyrethrum.inseet powder in one gals Ion of kerosene; cover the vessel and allow the mixture to stand for sever- al hours; siphon or filter off the cleat liquid which forms the spray. Keep it in a closed container, preferably a can or amber -coloured bottle, when not in use. Apply by means of a small hand sprayer. or atomizer. The tiny biting midges, known as "punkies's or "no -see -urns" some- times prove troublesome and are so small that they pass through ordin- ary screening without difficulty. The above spray when applied liberally to the screens has a fairly lasting re- pellent effect which prevents the midges front entering. Various fly dopes that may be ap- plied to exposed parts of the person to prevent attacks by -biting insects have been reconunended. A, popular one is made by mixing together 1 oz. of oil • of citronella, 1 oz. of spirits of camphor and 1-2 as. of ell of ced- ar. Another has the following form: ula: oil of cassia: 1 oz., Camphorated oil 2 ozs., vaseline 3 oz's. a third pre- partition that has been strongly re- commended is 'made as follows :melt together over a gentle fire vaseline l oz., beeswax 1 oz., medium hard par- affin 1 oz.; cool until the mixture is just fluid, then stir in 1 grain or 1-4 teaspoonful of oil of cassis and 2 grams or 1-2 teaspoonful of oil of citronella.. 'When one has been bitten by in- sects it is important not to scratch the bites: Various coaling or soothing lotions are the best remedy that can be ,prescribed, Berated . vaseline,. household ammonia, tincture of iodine and even ordinary toiI•et soap when moistened and rubbedgently oyes the punctures will give relief. SO RESTFUL! Two :laborers were working on a very tall building. (Suddenly the man at the top of the ladder called to his mate at the bot- tom, "2 : say, Jim," he said, "come up, 'ere a minute." "What for?" replied, Jim. "Can't you seej Im busy?" "Sti1l, ulst come up and listen," saidthe other. Three minutes later Jinn, puffing and urns, reached the top, "I can't 'ear anytI4egr" he said after a while. "No," said his 'mute ""Ain't ' it quiet:,, . Agricultural Items Pedigree certificates registered by the Canadian National Records, ap•r proved by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture during the month of May, 1935, numbered 5,207. This number includes 425 horses; 3,183 cattle; 188 sheep; 493 swine; 261 Sexes; 632 dogs; 16 poultry and 9 goats. Canada has been Great Britain's chief source of supply for honey since 1931. Provided only the best qualities of white clover honey are shipped to the United Kingdom, says The Canadian Trade Commissioner In Great Britain, there is no reason why Canada should not continue to hold this premier position, Canada, the United States and France are the only eountriees allow ed to ship flour into 'Belgium. The flour from France is employed solely in making certain kinds of biscuits for re-export and the Canadian and U.S. flour most be used only for making ":biscottes" (a variety of toasted bread), or for re -sale to ship's stores. Honey produced in Canada in 1934 amounted to 24,269,760 pounds val- ued at $2,244,814) . as compared with 22,915,794 pounds, valued at $2,009,- 969, in 1933. Thisrepresents an in- crease in production of 1,353,966 pounds, or 5.9 per Cent over 1933, and an increase in value of P34,845, or 11.7 per cent. Three hundred chicks have been hatched and successfully reared at Eure,'France, from the Canadian Re- cord of Performance stock imported in 1934. As a consequence, repre- sontatives'fronm France are to visit Canada this year to make more pur- chases of Canadian R.O.P. stock. The number of inspected shipments of poultry from Canada from Jan- uary 1 to May 31, 1935 comprised 4,437 boxes of turkeys; 33,145 boxes of chickens; 323 boxes of feed; 25 boxes of geese; 955 boxes of ducks, and one box of pigeons ---in all ap- proximately 2,280,000 pounds. Dur- ing the corresponding period of 1934 the total amount exported was 11,841 boxes. '"For r0t4r Cosveniance"' ARROW Bus SCHEDULE Effective, May 5, 1935 LIJAVE EAST BOUND 8.00 a.m. 5.$0 pm.
