SEAFORTH BOWLING CLUB.
With the advent of the warm wee-
ther, the Bowling Club will once more
,get underway and it is to be hoped
the general public in :Seaforth will
again show by its generous support
that the efforts of the executive are
appreciated, Our townspeople, wheth-
er bowlers or not, should remember
the great transformation which has
taken place in the south end of Main
street, Where there was once a com-
mons rank with weeds, we now have
a beauty spot. Every tourist travell-
ing through our town remarks it and
the surrounding towns are astounded
when told that everything has been
paid for and all this in one year. The
Club has to thank those citizens who
so generously contributed time and
money to accomplish this work. We
have now the best lighted greens in
Western Ontario, a beautiful club
house and after this season it will be
quite safe to say that nowhere in
Western Ontario are there better
greens than our own. In order to
keep up the good work we must have
members. The canvassers will call
early next week and the plans for the
season, already mapped out, warrant
your best support. •

FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING
OF HURON PRESBYTERIAL
Of the Women's Missionary. Society
of the United Church of Canada.
It 'was 9 am, From the North,
from the South, from the Bast and
West of Huron county throngs of wo-
men of various' organizations of the
Womens Missionary Society wended
their way to the Northside United
Church, Seaforth, on; Wednesday-,
April 30th; 1930, to attend the Huron
Presbyterial Conference.
The sun was high in the heavens,
the balmy breezes 'blew softly, the
birds sang their sweet songs, andev-
erything seemed to speak a "'Wel-
co'me" to each and every one. On
entering the church the delegates and
Visitors were greeted by the reception
committee who made strangers soon
feel
that they were no longer such,
The church with its decorations of
flowers and ferns was very beautiful.
During the noon hour a sumptuous
repast p was served in
the basement of
the church and anyone y ne who had not
become acquainted were made so now,
and were made to feel perfectly at
home,
At the hour of 10 o'clock the audi-
torium of the church was very well
filled with interested women, with
Mrs. Gibson, first vice-president, ace
copying the chair. After the devo-
tional exercises, Rev. Mr. Lane gave
a royal
ell
y welcome. to the church and
town. Mrs. Hamilton •olf Goderich
gave a reply. The central thought of
her remarks was 'Others,"

their' churches have not•given therm
as full a revelation of Christ as we
have. We have 12 churches in the
East end of Regina, This Greek
Church is Protestant, and they are,
very reverent,
Miss Farman told the story of how
their mission started in Regina East
End. A little girl came' home and
found a man there whom she was to
marry (to please her'father). Some
women belonging to the Metropolitan
Church said we are trying to help the.
children who have to starry in their
childhood in foreign ,lands, why not
try to help them here in our own Can-
ada. So these women, with the wo-
men of the other churches in Regina,
met and decided to form: a mission in
the East End, 18,1'6. So they got a
house which they hoped would prove
to be "A House by the Side of the
Road," to be a friend to the passers-
by and that the missionary might be
an interpreter of Canadian ways and
customs do these sojourners in Can-
ada. Christianity is a very practical
work. There is not bit
a finer

n
Mr the United rted Church,, to be a friend
to such people and help them,
..The tone of the Easlt End is much
improved. Many little Christians
When they become Christian, they
want to be a service to someone else.
There is also much, improvement
along the lines of education, When
the Mission started there was not one

CHATS ON EDUCATION
At the Principal's Desk.
few days agoI drove by Oak
Ridge Farm, not far from Toronto
It was perhaps ten years since T had
visited this farm last, I had heard a
little of what had been going on in ten
years. The farm to -day is a demon-
stration of what pluck and practical
agricultural education can do.
Truman Morse, proprietor of Oak
Ridge Farm was a handsome cleen-
cut young fellow before the war-. He
was a city boy, but had some interest
in agriculture. He became an aviator,
and on his first flight across the Ger-
man lines he was brought down, and
Pay for weeks in German hospitals
totally paralyzed. A clean constitu-
tion and much determination enabled,
him to pull through end after the Ar-
mistice he was enabled to return
home.
Not so long after the war was over
Mr. Morse married
and
settled down
on the little fruit farm near "Toronto.
He was not able to do heavy work
but felt that outdoor life was the thing
he needed.
After a few years of fruit growing;
he became interested in chickens.
To -day chickens have become his
main interest, and a staff of fifteen
einiployees is required to take care of

5Trumen Morse has simply succeed-
ed indeveloping to a •high stage of
efficiency one of the multitude of
branches of farming.
There are as many varieties of
farms and farming operations as there
are of factories. One of the greatest
needs in this country if the country is
to prosper is to bring before our boys
and girls the various kinds of farm-
ing possible. Thousands of boys are
drifting cityward because they do not
care for the particular type of farm-
ing with which they happen to be
familiar, when there might be a num-
ber of special branches of farming
quite suitable to their own district in
which they would delight if they
only knew what could be done.
One of the first aims of education
should be to help •boys and .girls to be
useful, which. is another way of say-
ing, to enable them to earn a giving,
Each boy can be more useful doing
work for which he has a taste than
that which is to him entirely distaste-
ful
One of our greatest problems as ed-
ucationalists is to bring before pupils
and patents information regarding
enough varied occupations. to enabte
each pupil to discover one or more
that will appear especially attractive,
and featuring especially those suitable
to our own province, that our boys
may be encouraged to remain in On-
tario.
