George C. Feagan, director of Hur-
on County Flying Training School,
Limited, told County Council on
Tuesday that the company had plan-
ned to have the County fathers as
guests at an inspection and din-
ner at Sky Harbor airport Tuesday
evening, but tbat the event had been
postponed until June because the So-
cial calendar of the County Council
was filled for this session. The Coun—
cillors, it was learned, had been in-
vited out Wednesday and Thursday
nights and it was felt that three ban-
quets in a row would be overdoing
things. Moreover, the weather would
be more propitious in June.—Goder-

Jimmy Knows—
"Have you overalls?" a delegate to
the farmers' gathering held last Fri-
day in London houted at the Honor-
able Jas. G. Gardiner. The reply of
the Minister was not reported. We
can say this, however. A number of
years ago one of the farmers living
near this good town hired the then
youthful Gardiner for farm work, The
first job assigned to the hired boy
was driving a balky horse. Our farm-
er friend Raw the problem ahead of
the future Prime Minister and Fed-
eral Minister of Agriculture for the
Dominion. and left the two to settle
the matter between them. The boss
chuckled, but the contest between the
balky equine and boy went merrily
on. The result? There was a good
forenoon's work done and horse and
minx lived happily ever after. Yes.
"Jimmy" knows something about
overalls and balky horses. Some folks
say that he knows a little about bur
man nature, Some go so tar 00 to say
that he can do a fairish job at taking
care of himself on the platform, but
