The Seaforth News, 1934-01-04, Page 2PAGE TWO �, PT s mier Henry s essage r,Y To the Editor: - A new year is here. It lies, large and problematical, before us. What we in Ontario shall make of it depends primarily on our re- sourcefulness, our courage, and our pride. With four years of depression past -the worst of it is over, I be- lieve -the Province finds itself in a rather favored position. Though many difficulties loom ahead - and S, for one, do not minimize their complexities -our Ship of State is once more riding on even keel, with colors flying. Our people are being fed, clothed and sheltered. None starves. Our credit is unimpair- ed. Our institutions, sound. There is no disorder, Little lawlessness. Throughout all trials the people have manifested their adherence to British tradition and to British sane thinking, By patience, per- severance, and general co-opera- tion with those entrusted with the reins of administration, they have proven that the welfare of a coun- try, in times of stress, comes pro- perly before things political and matters purely partisan, This attitude of mind must pre- vail throughout 1934 -if we are to come safely and securely through, There should be no place in our calculations as a Province for quack tonics and cure-alls concocted by impractical preach- ers and prophets. Experience is an excellent teacher; and experi- ence, so far, has taught us that our recovery must be slow and orderly. Moving along such lines the goal we all have Iong envis- ioned is assured, One hasty, over- reached step, however, might spoil all. In wishing our people a happi- er, a brighter, and a more prosp- erous New Year, let me again commend them for the manner in which they have played the game during the trying twelve months that have just ended. Sincerely yours, GEO. S. HENRY, Prime Minister, HURON NEWS Medd-Bossenberry,-rhe wedding took place at Christ Church, Forest, on Decetnher 23rd, a; three o'clock, when the rector, Rev. W. B.

Immed- iately notifying the superintendent and other nurses of the danger the nurses an duty, sensing the grave clanger, dragged the fire hose which was located a short distance 'front the window under the location of the fire and took it on themselves to put forth their best efforts to extinguish the blaze without disturbing the pat- ients in the hospital. Valiantly they fought, handicapped by the extreme cold weather which set a new record for the scas.ut, and they were assist- ed in their work by Harry Mullen, a local service trans A special C'hrietntas service was held in the basement of Duff's United Church Sunday evening under the auspices of the Y;P.S.

The superior development attained by northern -grown grain is nowhere demonstrated ,more convincingly than at the International Hay and Grain (Show held each 'December in Chicago At the showy just concluded Cana- dian exhibits again carried the lions share of the championship awards in the following classes, namely: hlard Red :Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat Medium Late White Oats (region 1,) (Early Oats (region 1), Trebi Barley, 'Two Rowed Barley, Rye, Flax, Soya !Beans (region 1 & I'1), Large Field Peas, Small Field Peas, A.O.V. Field 'Peas, Alsike Clover, Timothy, Mfalfa esters sections) and Navy Beans, In the tl-lard Red Spring Wheat Class, in which class Canada is natur- ally most keenly interested, Canadian entries were awarded the 'first thirty- nine prizes. Seventy-seven awards were made in this class, of which number fifty went to Canadian exhib- itors. The winner OE the 1st place in this class, 3-fr. F. Isaackson, ElEros, 5aslc., also captured the Grand Champion- ship for the best sample of wheat in the Show. The variety exhibited was Reward. Supremacy of Reward Wheat Most of the prizes in the Hard Red Spring Wheat Class went to the fa- mous Canadian -bred variety known as Reward, ew d whin 1 h ,was developed ve loped by the Cereal Division, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont. This variety or- iginated from a cross between \tar- duis and an early ripening, high qua- 'ity- but rather unproductive .variety kitowvt as Prelude. Since its introduc- tion ntroducetion in the spring of 1111125 Reward has won first place in its class at Chicago each year and has also been awarded the Grand Championship over all va- rieties and classes of wheat during the past 'four years except in 1931' when a Durum exhibit was awarded highest hrinours. It was also Reward which captured the most coveted prizes at last sunt- mer's World 'Grain Show at Regina. It was a fortunate coincidence ,for Canada that not only is Reward an outstanding exhibition variety but That it is equally outstanding from the standpoint of milling and baking quality, for which latter reason it is now used very largely by plant 'breed- ers who desire to combine high qual- ity with some other characteristic such as high yield or resistance to rust. ,While Canada does not produce Hard Red Winter Wheat to any ex- tent and while she had only one entry in this class at Chicago, this neverthe- less was considered to be entitled to first place. This sample was produc- ed by '\Mr. S. IB. '.Allsop, Wembley, Alta, (Peace River iDistrict). As a producer of high class Durum wheat, which wheat is sought chiefly For the manufacture of such products 14 macaroni, .Canada has also cone rapidly to the forefront during the past few years.
