Mr. I-Iayes, who predeceased her, was quite a celebrity as a bell ringer at .St ''Peul's-cathedral where he rang thechimes for a quarter of a century. At h3 death the principal churches in England tolled their bells for hint, his own chimes at St. Paul'e being. muffled. He was the only man, with the exception of royalty, who has been honored in that way, and a tab- let.in his memory was placed in the bell tower of St. Paul's. On January 4 •Mrs. Hayes' remains were laid beside her late husband in West Norbitry, London, England,.' A'`NEW PASTIME.

The Executive of the London Con- ference Branch of the W.M.'S..mat in First :United' Church, Lohdon, on. Tuesday, Feb. 18. Twenty-three of- ficers were present: Miss' Rennie presided and •14Irs...Mollarti of Exeter opened the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Rush, the new Y.W. secretary, re- ported on her work, showing that in the. short time site has been. in this office she has accomplished much. Mrs. Pridhann gave the Christian Ste*arclship report. The contribu- tions for 1929 were slightly in ad- vance of those of 1928; Huron came fifth in this respect,- raising 81 per cent. of its allocation. Huron Pres- byterial was the only Presbyterial to increase both Annual and Life Menr ,bets, Mrs. Pridhant urged that Aux- iliaries aim to raise one gaarter of their allocation each quarter; Lamb- tonixiliar-which were has twelve auxiliaries tes able to du this last year and Lambton made the best showing in its flnancese r Mrs. Pridham assured us that our allocations would not be increased for a few years, at least, and urged that we enlarge our membership .to help bear. the burden, iirs. Workman, of 'Blenheim, reported on Mission Band and Baby Band work, 'Baby Band -Superintendents in future" will send their money -direct to the Pres- byterial •'Treasurer, as the :Mission Brands do at present. Mrs, Naftel, of Goderich, repotted' for the Literature Department. showing the importance of this department and asking that Presbytcrials give more time to this subject in their meetings. Mrs. Lun_ dy, the strangers' secretary, was un- able n able to be present, but she sent alt ex- cellent report. Mrs. Malcolm, of Eg- mondville, spoke on the associate Hel- pers' work, the recruiting department of the WM.S. Mrs. Dixon, the treas- urer, congratulated the eight Presby- terial treasurers on the feet that not one single error had been made in their work although $12$,000 had been. handled. She asked that these effic- ient officers be retained in offio. Mrs. Heard' of St. Thomas' the c2fr. sec„ gave the story of the year and voiced her appreciation also of the very fine tenants sent in. Mrs.• Horton of St. Thomas, the temperance secretary, gave a stirring address which, aroused much discussion. Reports were given by the eight Presbyterial presidents; arrangements mode for the conference branch meeting and many other items of business put through. Resolutions of sympathy were extended to Mrs. Hogg of Clinton', Mrs Lundy of Nile. and Mrs. J•,D, Detwiler, London, GORDON P. CARSWELL. Friends in Lawn and district learned with regret of the death of Gordan Carswell, in Toronto on Friday, Feb. 14. Mr. - Carswell, who was in his 24th year, was employed in the ac- counting branch of the waterworks dept. at the City hall and suffered' a heart seizure shortly after he left the Cityhall at the close of business. He collapsed and died just as he arrived inside • the door of his home at'68 Hillsdale ave. west. He ha& appar- ently ently been in his customary health. The late Gordon Patterson Carswell was born near 'Seaforth' in McrKillop Where his father was for many years pastor of Caven Church, Winthrop, and Duff's Church,'M'oKillop. He was well known in musical ;circles in the city and was a bass soloist in College st, United Church, under leadership of Ald. D.' C. MciGregor. He is survived by his father, Rev. David Carswell,. who is an elder in 'College sit, United Church, and by two sisters, Jean, Vice principal in the Maurice Cody school, `Toronto, and Helen, teacher in Lon- don Collegiate institute. His mother, the late Jean Murray Carswell: died while the family were at Seaforth about ten years ago, Tee,fttneral service washeld at his home on, Sunday evening at 9 o'clock. Interment took place at Ayr, Ont,,, on Monday morning,1 Yearsago the gr -ants to high schools from the Provi vial Govern- ment were for a short time based on the number of .pupils 'successful in passing examinations., (The evil of this arrangement was at once appar- ent, and it was abolished', but Prof. Bell in his history of secondary edu- cation in Ontario publtslted;some' •ten years ago refers to the persistence of that the rural the idea .in thesections examinationsare the ode test of the efficiency of the teacher and of the s chool. les inc[ r, To come back to•first principles, the purpose of-'the,school is to make citizens, to make members of society who will be able to take their part in promoting the general good. +A --good citizen should be able to earn a liv- ing, but that is not enough. Your horse earns his living. iA good citizen should be able •to take' an intelligent part in pftblic affairs. 'That requires intelligence, a knowledge of public affairs, and the ability; to express himself or herself' clearly and con- vincingly. on- vincin l . gY • Educationalists nalisb have .•not yet suc- ceeded in devising suitable tests cap- able of being used over: a whole pro- vince with ro-vincewith any uniformity whereby to rate the most important of the ends of education, the development of the qualities that make a' good citizen. [Admission to Normal ! Schools and Univensities is still dependent on ex- aminations that cover merely old set academic subjects which have really changed ,little, .absurdly little in pro- portion to the advance* in tither dir- ections, beyond the subjects used for a similar purpose eighty years ago. But because many pupils have these ea-aniinetions alone in tview, and be- cause of the special prizes and schol- arships awarded examinations stand first in the minds of many pupils and the weightier matters lef' judgment and personality and citizenship which may be developed in school are over- looked. Too often parents and trustees look only at the examination or pro- motion records in judging the desir- aililitY of a teaches'. They forget that there may be horse -traders' tricks even in -education and the teacher may concentrate on examinations to the loss of the pupil. The time is coming when parents and trustees willstudy each teacher from -the standpoint of the value of the pers- onality of that teacher in inspiring high ideals, in developing' personality, in the .building' up of citizens. CANADIAN LEGION. The Seaforth iBnanch of the Cana- dian Legion of the British Empire Service League will give a masque- rade ball in Cardno's ball, Seaforth, the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. The grand march past the judges will take place at 11 p.m. and prizes will be awarded to the best lady's and gentleman's character cos- tumes and comic costumes, Further announcement to be made later. PRESENTATION. A presentation and address was gi- ven Mrs, S. McAlpine on Tuesday evening, February 11, at the home of Mrs. Lorne Dale. Mrs. Alex Mc- Gavin`read the address and made the presentation of a pyrex pie plate and silver case on behalf of the ladies ,pres- ent. Mr. and Mrs. McAlpine have been residents of Seaforth for the past two years and in that ,time have made many friends in town. They ex- pect to move to Woodstock early in March. Y.P.S. "The ballot as a determining factor of good citizenship." proved a very interesting and instructive address as delivered by Mr. F. S. Savauge at the Young People's League of the North Side United Church on Tuesday even- ing, Feb. 18th. Mr, W. McNay, con- venor of the citizenship department, presided. After repeating the Lord's prayer in unison, the minutes of the former meeting were read adopt- ed. t- ed. The scripture lesson was read by Mr. Sam Scott, after which a duet, "Sun of My Soul," was sung in good voice by Misses Helen Lane and Base sie Oluff, Mrs. Lane accompanying on the piano. Miss Annie Hanna favor- ed the audience with a piano solo. Af- ter singing hymn, the meeting closed with the Mizpah benediction. Next Tuesday evening we hope for a large attendance at whichmeeting the Y. PIS. of First Presbyterian. Church will be entertained. JUNIOR FARMERS' MEETING The j uvior Farmers held their monthly meeting lit. the Carnegie lib- ratY on Thursday evening of fast •week. .We are sorry to report that there was 'a small crowd in attend- ance. The night's proceedings prov- ed not only interesting but education- al as well. It is most regrettable that a larger number of members Were not present. Alter the preliminary proceedings were dispensed with, Mr. James Scott I gave an. interesting and instructive ad- dress on poultry. The speaker felt that• at this time of the year, the chick side of the poultry business would be in the, foremost part of every man's mind, Therefore his remarks were to a large extent on this phase of the business, He discussed the hazards confronting poultrymen, in the brood- ing of chicks. A thermometer was. he though, a very necessary piece of equipment around a brooder house. Chicks are easily chilled and guess- ing is costly. Poultry diseases were included in his talk and he gave the latestadvice from the best authorities on many of the troubles that poultry are susceptible to. Valuable sugges- tions as to feeding methods and ra- tions he also discussed. In closing his remarks, Mr. Scott said that ow- ing to a larger amount of information evailalble"and` experience gained in past ears that there was no reason hy the 1930 season should not be more successful for the poultryman than tts predecessor. Junior Farmers interestedintereeted in poetry should not haae passed' up the opportunity of hearing this address. The subject of Farm Accounts was taken up hi en address by Bob Archi- bald. The speaker stressed the nec- essity of farmers keeping accounts and recommended a simple system of farm accounts that is used in t the book keeping competition conducted annually in the county. _ A joke contest provided no small amount of fun with Mr, James Mc- Intosh and Mr. Joseph Forrest being the sueces fui contestants. s Mr. McCague, . the Agricultural Representative, was present and de- livered an interesting and educational address on marketing. Mr. McCegue dealt with practically all farm pro- ducts. He pointed out how egg con- sumption has increased more than double- since 1915. This he credited chiefly to the egg grading ' system. Sheep, swine, and cattle markets were also included in his discussions. He compared the quality of the Prince Edward Island potato to that of ours. Theirs grade slightly over 65 per cent. certified, ours hardly over 2 per cent, yielding twice as much per acre. Here was, tee thought an example of what could be done with any commo- dity with the right kind of hien be- hind- it. The effect of the inner and outer or the man who jumps from one class of live stock to another, usually buying when price is high and selling when low, this he felt has no small effect on market' conditions. - Previous to his address on market- ing, lir, McCague outlined the com- petition - conducted each year by the Department of Agriculture at Clin- ton. These are three in number: 1. An essay competition on Ways of Maintaining- Soil ' Fertility. The prizes in this competition are given by the different Women's Institutes in the county. 2, 'The Baby Beef competition t:, encourage the feeding of good baby beef, 3. Farm Accounting competition. They are featuring this competition this year in an effort to get more far- mers to keep accounts on their farms. The first prize in each of these competitions is a free two week short course at the Agricultural College at Guelph. In the essay competition 2nd prize is agricultural books to the va- lue of ten dollars; 3rd prize, live dol- lars in cash. Mr. McCague stressed the advan- tage of taking part in these competi- tions. No one, he said. taking part in these competitions are losers, because the knowledge gained offsets the work in connection with them. One often wonders why mare Junior Farmers do not take advantage of these com- petitions. On the whole. Mr. Me- Cague's remarks were instructive and well worth while and he would no doubt prove a good drawing card for any future meeting. The executive of the Junior Farm- ers were more or less disappointed with the turn out. This however was partly offset by the satisfaction ex- pressed by those who did attend, RETURNS'PROM EUROPE. Mr, David Davis, of Riverhtirst, Sask., arrived in town Wednesday to visit his mother,. Mrs. Margaret Davis. He is on his way home' from a trip to. Scotland, England and the contihent, heaving sailed .from Liverpool on the S.!S. ;Albertic" on Feb. 8th, with three friends front the West, after spending several months on the other side of the Atlantic. The trip from London to Paris was made by air. The fare is $15 and Mr. Davis reports a large traffic between these two centres. The vast difference between Eng- lish anl French ' farming 'methods, bath differing from Canadian, inter- ested nter ested Mr. Davis. In England he found that large areas were given ov- er to meadow land rather than grain growing. In France land was at a .premium and very intensively cultiv- ated, the women working in the fields es well as the mei[, The standard of living is somewhat higher in Eng- land, than in Fiance. He believes large quantities of Ger- man wheat are being imported into England at the present time, but Can- adian'wheat still leads for producing the best fiotir. Mr. Davis left Seaforth for the West°about twenty -Hive years ago; and has been very successful. His trip to Europe has been most enjoyable and he is glad to spend 'a short time in this part of Ontario with hie many friends, before.*"comple'ting the return journey:. Eye Strain 'Many people engaged in tasks requiring constant Fuse of the eyes on "near" work find considerable dif- ference between their vision in the morning and: mid- afternoon. The reason for this is eye=s'tnain resulting froth the constant involuntary muscular effort of the eyes to focus at a near point. Even normal eyes are : benefited by wearing glasses which help to relieve this strain while those having defective vision should have special ecial sP ectacles for this particular purpose.
