The greens are much truer, and much more satisfactory for the draw game., The finest green they played on thle tine was St. 'Matthews, Tioronto, and the second was the Clinton green; and the finest bowling they had witnes- sed in Canada was at Clinton; They met the strongest players there. Of course the Clinton Lawn Bowling Club knew all this before, but coming from such a source it is net the less satisfactory to learn frm such strong outside unprejudiced evidence than the Clinton green is No. 1 and that the Clinton Bowlers are second to none in Canada.

They probably would rather refer to him as "the deuce." Winghani Advance -Times. LET'S BE CAREFUL Yes, our children are ourgreatest asset. Yet parents prove their greatest foes and that inadvertently and with the best of intentions. We have been reading of the wonderful 'work done for the youth of England through the Borsal system of treat- ing the youth of the Old Land who may have stepped so far aside as to become menaces to society. These wonderful ,Boreal workers take the hard cases of these youthful errors and succeed wonderfully in getting them back into the ranks of useful citizenship. These people warn civil- ization against coddling children. The ideal is to have every youth hardy and aggressive, but controlled by a •sound mind and a high sense of hum- our. At ,almost any cost the Boreal' workers limn to have every child in their institutions capable of working hard at stiff work for at least eight hours every working day. 'S'oftness sof mind, or muscle or will or con science 18 regarded as a real foe to the youth. We have just listened to: an emi- nent specialist in' mental cases who told hishighly critical audience that. , the coddling of children, is one of the sources, a very prolific source, of mental or emotional disturbance, re- suiting in mental derangement. Par- ents will do well' to look to their childrenin this respect. This does not mean maybe. A child from wak- ing to sleeping should be busy, play- ing hard or attending to such duties as his parents assign him or at his lessons. Work and play, plenty of both, are a child's vital air. -(Exeter Times -Advocate THE NOXIOUS WEEDS The time has arrived when all noxious weeds, should be cut and de - strayed before their seeds are scat- tered over the Iandscape. There are still a number of vacant lotsand oth- er spots in and around the town whereon a good crop of weeds is flourishing. Linder the provisions of the, Weed Control Aet all ' noxious weeds must be destroyed as often as it is necessary to prevent the seed maturing. If the owners of the pro- perty do not cut the weeds, the Muni- cipalities have the right to have the same cut and charge the cosh of same against the respective properties.

DENDRON. K.C. One of the most brilliant legal minds in Canada, with a record of successful criminal cases that has stamped him: for years as one of the most able pleaders at the Quebec Bar, Hon. Lucien H. Gendron, K.C., who has been called to the cabinet by Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett to assume the portfolio,, of marine is another of those successful young men who have made good. An able counsel, brilliant pleader, noted authority on crimin- ology, he is ene of the best "court men" in the Province of Quebec which has contributed many outstanding men .to the legal profession. Just over 44 year of age ,he has risen rapidlg in his profession until today he is recognized as the leading crim- inal lawyer in his native province. Of French-Canadian and Scotch des- cent, Mr. .Gendron made his mark early in life when after a brilliant scholastic record he ventured into the arduous legal field as his chosen profession. Born on August 28, 1890, in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, he is the on of Lucien H. Gendron, advocate, from whom he inherits his legal ability and Blanche McDonald. His miateral grandfather, Milton ltZoDonald, was a member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly. Mr, Gendron's early edu- cation was at Mount St. Louis Col- Iege, Montreal, where he completed his classical course, later entering Laval University, now the University of Montreal where he graduated will high honeurs in law. He first practised law in St. Hyacinthe, his home city, forming a partnership with Louis Lussier, K. C., and at the end of two years' moved to Montreal, becoming associated with Joseph Co- hen, MCI lf.L{A.l, the .pairtnership lasting for seven years: ,Specializing in criminal law, he was retained as defence counsel in numerous criminal cases that won wide attention throughout the Do- minion. Among the notable cases in which he was retained was the cele- brated Abbe Delorme trial, the de- defendant (being tried several times for the murder of his brother, Mr. Gendron successfully won his an- quittal in the third trial. He was also defence counsel for the accused in the Hochelaga bank holdup; for the Maguire brothers ace cused of •murder; Austin Cassidy of Ottawa, accused of murder in Hull; Mr. Gendron winning him a new trial before the Court of Appeals, He has also appeared in numerous important cases before the Quebec Superior Court, notably the cases of the King vs. Sylvestre and the King vs. Gouin. Me. Gendron's hobbies are reading and travelling. In 1915 he was mar- ried to Miss Marguerite Delormier, daughter of Raoul' Lelermier, He is a Roman. Catholic in religion. At present he is associated with Rene Gauthies, K.C., and Phillippe Monette, K.C., in the legal firm of Gendron, Monette and Gauthier.. He resides at 59 Nelson Avenue, Outre- mont, P.Q. lettuce, hawk weed. --The Forest Standard. HURON WATERS ; MAY REVEAL SECRET OF PETRIFIED FOREST London, Ont., -Sept. 16 (Staff). Dr. Solon Wioolverton of Grand Avenue, owner of an important pri- vate museum, announced today that he has found petrified wood at (fettle Point, on Lake Huron, which leads bins to the conclusion that there is a petrified forest in the 'shallow waters there, that is actually older than the Arizona petrified forests widely famed in geology. Dr. Wioolverbon is inclined to the belief that his finds are Devonian, and that they indicate that the growth of Kettle Point was the oldest on the prehistoric Ameri- can Continent. Two years ago finds Were made' by the University of Wes- tern Ontario that were identified as specimens of the ancestor of the Ginko tree, perhaps two .million years old. --Toronto Globe. EXPECTS CHANGE IN POLICY An editor, who lives in a oomn)un- ity where both the Roman Catholic Churohand the Orange Order are far stronger, numerically, than they are in Fergus, expresses the opinion that the greatest asset the Catholics have are the Orangemen they keep each other stirred up and working enthus- iastically. Its, an adaptation of the seussweemensameaseam HON. 'WILLIAM EARL ROWE. Regarded as the "white hope" of the Conservative party in Ontario, the inclusion of William Earl Rowe in the Cabinet of Rt. Hon. R. B. Ben- nett is expected to create a great deal of satisfaction 'throughout the country, as it does in his native pro- vince where he is regarded as one of the ablest of the younger political leaders of the day. ' A scientifie 'farmer, Mr. Rowe is regarded as the "voice of agriculture" in the House of Commons and his speeches in Parliament are consider- ed models of lueidity and authority on agricultural matters. The new cabinet minister is ane of the leading farmers and livestock breeders in Western Ontario. Born in 1894 he was educated in the public and high schools of Simcoe County, later tak- ing a business course in Toronto. ,Going in for farming he decided to build up his farm on a scientific scale. Public affairs beckoned him and he became a member of the municipal council of the township of Gwillin- burg in 1918, becoming reeve a'year later. At the Ontario election of 1923 the Conservative party, looking for an able man to run as its candi- date in the constituency, turned to the youthful Mn. Rowe, then turned 29 years, and he was elected to the Ontario Legislature, But he was de- stined for higher honours and at the Dominion election in 1925 he was re- turned to the House of Commons for Dufforin-Shncoe riding with a major- ity of 3,006. In the general election of 1926 he increased his majority to 3,073 and in 1930 to 4,981, an indicat- ion of the strong hold he has on the people of the riding. The new minister is a member of the United Church of Canada. He Married Treva, daughter of James Lennox, and has three children, Jean, William and Lennox Rowe. old adage that "Opposition is the life of trade." The Hespeter Haerld takes a sim- ilar view of the controversy between Premier Hepburn and the temperance people of Ontario. It claims that if Mr. Hepburn is continually stirring up dry sentiment, it is a good thing for the drys. It keeps them on the alert and working enthusiastirally. Possibly that's right and if he keeps en antagonizing other people as he has the majority in the counties un- der the Canada Temperance ,Act, the result will be a very dry Ontario once more. It is more likely that Mr. Hepburn will make some change in the polity to which he so doggedly adheres to- day before the next Ontario election comes around. A great many of his followers know that he can't keep on malting enemies in wholesale quart+ tities, if the Liberal Government is to survive: Fergus News -Record.

Victoria, ,Sept. a --Story of a robin which called a man to rescue its mate from the jawsof a snake was told Saturday. t George Swan, attracted by a bird screaming and flapping against the Beck door of, his home, went to inves- tigate. The robin flew away as he approaehed, appearing to call hint on, and Swan followed, It led him to the end of the garden circling close to the fence and calling loudly.

Tame. PAG( ONESIME GAGNON, K.C., M.P. One of the most prominent of the oamparatively young lawyers of the prch'ince of Quebec, Onesime Gagnon, K.C., the .member for Dorchester, who is a law partner of Hon. Maurice Dupre, K,C., ,Solicitor General for Canada, was elected to the House ' of Commons for the grst time in 1930. He became politically inclined in the year 1927 when he was joint sore tary of, the resolutions committee of the Conservative convention at Win- nipeg. Later, in 1929, he was gener- al secretary of the Conservative con- vention in Quebec. 14Lr. Gagnon,' in addition to rapidly clinmlbing the Iegal Iadder, has made his mark in the H'ouee of Commons during his four years as represents. tive of the riding of D,orehester. His readiness to enter any oral' tiff across the floor of the House has marked him as a rising politician. His debat- ing ability is well-known and there were times' when the Commoners lis- tened in and to his intelligent and eloquent discourses on the problems of the day. Mr. Gagnon's ameestors came to Canada from France nesrly 300 years ago. He was born at ,Standon, Dor- chester County, Quebec, in 1888, the son. of Onesime Gagnon and Julie Morin, both Freneh-Canadians. He was educated at the College of Ste, Anne dela Pocatiere, and Laval and Oxford universities. He read law with' the late Hon. L. P. Pelletier in the Court of King's Bench, and was called to the Bar of Quebec in 1912. In 1920 he was elected president of the Quebec Junior Bar Association and the Society of Arts and Sciences and (continued on page 6) =SNAPS610T CUIL IT'S FAIR. TIME Left --'The Country Fair or busty Right-- Even the side-show offers snapahooting opportunities. LET'S forget about the home, the seashore, the woods and pic- tures of the children and today think about picture making oppor- tunities at the county fair. September is fair time and I'll wager that mighty few of you have ever given any thought to this angle of snapshooting. Right? Hon- estly the county fair offers more pos- sibilities for snapshooting than space will permit telling about. Can't you see the barkers in front of the side- show extolling in husky, loud voices the merits of their shows? There's the side-show band with its battered instruments letting forth loud blasts of discordant music; the not so clean looking venders of dolls, trick gad- gets, balloons and various other things of questionable value; every one of them a subject for good human interest pictures, But let's look toward the more serious side of the fair—the exhibits, for instance. By making intelligent use of your camera you can take home with you not only pictures of general interest but if you are par- ticularly interested in farm products you tan soap record pictures that may later prove invaluable. There is the judging of cattle, sheep, horses and hogs, for instance. If the judging is done In an open-air ring you can snap the picture of the winner of the blue ribbon with any camera -box type or folding. Iu taking such pictures, or any picture, as far as that is concerned, don't just look in the finder and snap the first thing you see. If the animal being judged has any unusual mark- ings manage to get to a place near the ring where these markings show- up howup the best in your finder. Try too to avoid unattractive backgrounds such as telephone poles, wiresor sheds. Among the innumerable picture Possibilities at the fair you will sure- ly want to take some action pictures and a fair isn't complete without the thrill of horse racing whether they feature the veteran driver proudly. seated in Isis sulky or the young, dare -devil jockey. Snap a picture of the start of the race as the drivers or jockeys maneu- ver their horses to the barrier or starting post and by all meanstake your position at the turn of the track as the horses dash perilously around the curve and into the "home stretch". Remember this, however. If you. do not have a camera with a very fast shutter, say one that wil operate at 1/500 of a second or faster, don't try to snap a rapidly moving object as it whizzes directly across the lens of the camera or direct line of vision, Yourchance of getting a good, sharp picture are much greater if you catch your subject at au angle of about 45 degrees. It's always better to play safe than to take a Chante and perhaps get a blurred picture. Load your camera with film today and be ready for that eventful day when you are "off to the fair".
