BLYTH Diamond Jubilee— Sixty years have passea mace Trin- ity Anglican Church, Blyth, was opened for divine worship. The cor- ner stone was laid- under Masonic aus- pices by the D.D.-G.M. of the A. F. A. M. on July lsf, 1878, and the first service was held in the church on Sunday. December 29th, 187,8, with the appointment of the first resident rector, the Rev. William Henderson. Many changes have taken place in the church and in the community since Trinity first opened its doors. Many of the early pioneers are now with the Church Triumphant. In grateful re- membrance of all those who have lab- oured for this church in the past six- ty years, and in grateful thanks to Al- mighty God for the many blessings vouchsafed, special services will be held on Sunday, June Bth, at In a.m. and 7.39 p.m. The rector, the Rev, R. M. Weekes, will preach at the morning service, and, the guest solo- ists will be Mr. V. M. Bray and Mr. Stanley Sibthorpe. A 'former rector, the Rev. W. H, Hartley, L.Th., rec- tor of the Church of the Messiah, Kincardine, will be in charge of the evening service. Mr, James McCrae. of Belgrave, will offer a vocal solo, and a ladies quartette consisting of Mesdames C. Wade, N. Geddes, N. Montgomery and R. M. Weekes, will sing. As far as can be learned, the first Anglican service was held in Blyth in the year 1860, when a young Irish Missionary, namely, the Rev. Carmichael, walked from Clinton to hold services here. Rev. Carmichael was afterwards consecrated Archbi- shop of Montreal, and Primate of all Canada. For many years services were held in the Orange Hall, two and a half miles north of Blyth, until, M 1878, the congregation decided to build a house of worship. Trinity Church has been singularly blessed with devout and earnest rectors, many of whom have passed from the scene of their labours, while others are now working in other parts of 'God's vine- yard. Those serving the congregation before the church was 'built were; Rev. Carmichael, and his brother-in- law, the Rev. Duberdue; the Rev. Murphy. of Wingham; Rev. Davis. of \\Ingham: the Rev. Gallagher, of U.S.A., and later, the Rev. William Henderson was appointed as the first rector. Other rectors who have faith- fully served the Blyth parish are: Rev. IF, J. Parke, 'H. A. Thomas.

Important Cash Crop Statistics ,recently released show that turnips -for ,export to the 'United States have become an increasingly important crop to Western Ontario Farmers. This is particularly true in the counties of Oxford, Huron, South Bruce, Middlesex, Waterloo, Onitanio and Wellington. Oxford, it is said, is now the heaviest producer, with large acreages in the Bright and Tavistock d,istricts. Total exports in /151137-138 were ,111704,1620 'bushels,. just 411k5,629 bushels, more .than in 1936-37 season, or an increase of 32 per -cent. The lUnited States market Insists on having the turnips waxed, and On- tario farmers are wise enough.to give them what they want, working on the -principle that "the customer is always right". Waxed -turnip exports in 1119617- 38 jumped 3132e1181 bushels over the previous season which at $6.1519 per ton gave the farmers an extra /4514,099. Shipments invaded ehe New England market for the .first tithe, owing to the partial -failure of the 1P.G.I. crop and Ontario waxed turnips received -a won-derful reception, marketing Offi- cials state. They point out, however, that palatable turnips -can 'be grown only in certain areas where they have that "-certain something" in flavor and shipping qualities. Ten New Contests Every Week!
