This should be an outstanding event and no pains are being spared to make it a success. Possibly few people are aware that the Legion officers are constantly being called unto to sup- ply relief to unfortunate ex -soldiers. H'atdly a week passes without somee thing .of this nature being done, which all costs money. At all times the public has been most generous in its support and the officers of the local branch of the Legion are confident that this event will be just as gener ously supported as on former occa- sions. No special invitations will -be issued to residents of Seaforth and immed- iate vicinity, all are 'invited to attend. A special nine -piece orchestra will supply the music led by Mr. Olin Brown, while beautiful prizes will be awarded the masqueraders in the var- ious classes already enumerated. Hon- orary patrons and patronesses for this gala occasion will be the officers and wives of ' the Huron Regiment ,these together with the officers and wives of the executive of the local legion will look after the comfort' and en- joyment of the guests of the evening. The grand. march and ,judging will take place at 10.30 p.in., followed by lunc'heon in, tine dining room. The public is assured of a most enjoyable evening's , entertainment well worthy of its support. a SILVER WEDDING. Mr, and Mrs. E, Mole celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage on 'Feb. 20th 'when about fifty friends and neighbors .gathered and spent the evening very happily in cards and dancing,followed by a dainty lunch: ST.

Playing fast, clean hockey the first. period was scoreless McCartney played wonderfully in in the Mill Road net. In the second period Morris scored five mimes after the face-off on a nice pass from Daly. With 6 min., utes yet, to, go, Daly evened the score on a shot outside the blue line. In the third period S't. Colum'ba-n, played hard ' and McCartney was called upon to make many sensation- al stops, Finally Joe Malone tied the round on a back -hand shot close in.

EAST HURON INSPECTORATE Goderich, Oat, Feb, 16, 1031 To the Warden and Members ;of The Huron County Council, Gentlemen,—On July 1st, 1930, by Act of the'Legislature, the Inspect3rs of Public Schools came under t'he full and direct control of the Department of Education. Previous to that con- trol had been divided between the County Council and the Department of Education. It is, therefore, by'spe- cial request of the Council that .,the following report has been prepared, since they, considered that the public interest in education would, warrant its publication. There are 119 teachers in East Hu- ron, of whom 35 . hold First Class ertificate's, 82 Second Olass and one a Kindergarten Director's Certificate. Seventeen are men and 102 are -wo- men. They average high in ability while few if any proved 'incompetent; their interest and devotion to their work cannot be questioned. The 'total number of pupils on the roll was 3,235, an increase of 104 over the attendance of last year; • the av- erage attendance for the present year was 2,464, an increase of 105 over last year, showing us change in regu- larity. One of the chief .drawbacks to the advancement of pupils is due t irregular attendance. I•t'is a detri- ment to the absentees and is also harmful to the rest of the pupils and the lessons lost mush be repeated. The chief cause of absence is due to sickness,.' especially in the • rural schools, , Pupils lost 22,400. days in .930 from this cause, which if it could he verified, would indicate an alarming ;health condition. - It is, however, given as a ready excuse for absence, when the cause is otherwise. Other main causes are home help and, parent neglect; there were.only 19 cases of.truancy, 15 of which were in the.towns. There were 336 candidates at the Entrance Examination; or whom 262 succeeded in passing; this gives a per- centage o'f successful' candidates of 84, uliich is higher that] in ordinary years and considerably higher than the average over the province. The average of all successful candidates was 13 years .and 5 months. There are only a few schools pay- ing saiaries less than $1,000; what may be done in a year of depression and under reduced grants can only be guessed, at.. A reduction: to compet- ent teachers of experience would be discouraging and disappointing. To- tal salaries in the Inspectorate amounted to $115,355. The total grants paid r'eac'hed the sum of $33,- 462. The rural schools carry a bal- ance of '$86,3'56 over to the present year. The urban schools carry a neg- ligible sum. The total local assess- ment for the Inspectorate is $18,637,- 124. No 'new schools were built this year; improvements were ina'de and the prolperties are as a rule well car- ed for, 'Albout six new schools are badily needed; these are unfit for chil- dren in such a county as this, 'Other- wise the Inspectorate has reason to be 'proud of its school buildings and the equip'm'ent furnished them. The grants payable this year will be based on the statistics of 1930. The amount of the 'salary grants is deter- mined by the percentage that the salary bears to the equalized' assess- ment; if less than three mills the grant is 4% of t'he salary, between 3 and 5 mills 8%; between '5 and =7 mills 12%; between 7 and 9 mills 16%, between 9 and 12 mills 20% and bet- ween 12 and '15 mills 26%. There are higher percentages but they do not apply to schools in Huron County There is a grant of $7S on a Perman- ent First Class 'Certificate and $60 on an Interim First; $60 for a Permanent' Second but none for an. Interim Sec- ond„ ''There is a grant of $1.00 for each pupil in average attendance. There is also a grant of 50% on equipment, which includes water closets, wells and blackboards. There is no change in the grants on.

'School Fairs were held in the usual centres; the attendance is sufficient to show that the interest has keptup and there appears to nie to be a' steady advance in ' the attainment sought by the Department. Public Speaking has become :a prominent. feature; very considerable talent 'is exhibited. Qualified teaching of Music is ex- tending to the rural schools; Howick and Tuckersniith seem most interest-' ed. 'I expect that instruction will be given this year in all theurban centres; there is no reason why the child's education should not be ex- tended to one of life's greatest' enjoy- ments. There was added $1000 worth of books to the rural school -libraries; their growth has been ' consistent for several years 'past. • The Penny Banks in Clinton, Sea - forth and Wingliam are in a prosper- ous condition; in spite of the trade depression the balances are substan- tially higher than they were last year. A successftsl meeting.of the Teach- er's Institute was held in Wingham; Dr. Amoss, Inspector of Auxiliary Classes, added much to the success of the meetings. In conclusion I wish to thank the Secretaries of the schools for the promptness with which they sent in their report's and' their general ac- curacy. Yours respectfully, JOHN M. FIELD, I. P. S. East Huron. Y. P. LEAGUE. A splendid meeting was held an Tuesday evening, March 3rd under the leadership of Mr. K. Webster. After hymn .52 was sung, Mr. A. L. Porteous led in prayer.

INAUGU'R'AL MEETING OF ST. JAMES' ARTS CLUB 'Last Thursday evening some forty members were in attendance at the first. meeting of the St. James' Arts Chub in St, James' parish hall. The meeting was opened by prayer and the singing of 0 Canada. President Cyril Reynolds occupied the chair and outlined the work to be undertaken by the Club, Miss. Mary Finkbeiner was then appointed as corresponding secretary and Louis Purcell as ser- geant -at -arms for the present year. The program which was very much enjoyed consisted of recitation by Miss Vera Nolan. Short oration on "The Heroes of New France," by An- drew OILeary, solo by 'Wm. J. Faulkner. accompanied by Miss Alice Daly, talk on India by Miss Hilda Kennedy, violin solo by Francis De- vereaux, accompanied by :bliss Alice Devereaux; dialogue by ' Edmund Daly and Gordon Reynolds. Father Blonde then gave a short ad -dress which was followed by the Treasurer's report, showing the club to he away to a fine start and from the quality of the art displayed there can be little doubt, but that the St. Janes' Arts Club will be a wonder- ful acquisition to the Parish in gen- eral. The nest meeting will be 'held on March 12th when it is expected every young person of St. James' parish will be in attendance. p e dance. DEMANDS PROBE OF STOCK SALES.

Mr. Hipel stated that in the early part of 1929 a limited company •known as the Vitamin' Milling Company of Canada, Lim'ited,.. which proposed to manufacture whole' wheat flour, came to Preston and negotiated with the officials of the town for a pro'pose'd site. When this was all arranged, said the speaker, an office was opened and another company, the Acme Securi- ties, Limited, also opened an office and undertook to sell stock for the Vitamin Company. Quite a number of people purchased stock and paid for it with the understanding that the plant would be erected in Preston. After a local construction company had been engaged to prepare plans for the proposed mill, the company, for some reason or other, decided to leave Preston and move to the Vil- lage of Tavistock. which is outside the county. "When the company left Preston the people who had paid for their stock demanded their money back, but couldn't get it until a wsit, was issued against the company,'' said Mr. Hipel. "The construction com- pany that prepared the plans and sup-' plied materials for signs and paid, labor for preparing the site, have not been paid to date. "The Vitamin Milling Company and Acme Securities, Ltd., then moved up to Tavistock and opened an office," said Mr. Hipel. "I have been told by citizens and a member of the council of Tavistock that the company made an arrangement something like this: If the village supplied the site and the people subscribed a certain amount of stock, the plant -would be b'ttilt in Tavistock. Now I am inform- ed that almost the whole amount re- quested was subscribed. Certain men were prepared to subscribe even more thna the balance required but said that they would not hand over. their cash, but were prepared to de- posit the cash in the bank for the company as soon as the company had the building either partially erected or completed. "'B'ut the stock salesmen would not accept such an arrangement and this would lead one to believe that there was no intention of building the plant in Tavistock," declared the member for South 'Waterloo. "I am also told that one of -the stock saletmen of the Acme Securities Limited, stayed at one of the hotels in Tavistock under a 'false or assumed name. When his real name was established he left that section of the country," EGMONDVILLE. The Sunbeam Mission 'Band met Tuesday after four, The president, Norman MacLean read the call to warship, them, hymn 206 was discuss- ed and learned.

Gun Explodes.—Mrs. Robert Grim- oidby and Miss Mary Cooke were ta- ken to Clinton hospital last Friday evening when a gun accidentally ex- ploded among twenty-five of a crowd who were going to ,spend a social ev- ening. The sleigh upset and in the excitement of getting things back to their place the gun was placed on the sleigh. When being removed it hap- pened to hit pne of the stakes of the sleigh and exploded. The rack re- ceived the full force of the shot while the glancing shots caught Miss Cook'. in the knee lodging' in the bone and Mrs. Griinoldby on the hip. Miss Cooke will he confined to ,the Clinton hospital for a week and Mrs. Grim- oldby was allowed to return home and is still under the doctor's care. The whole thing was an accident and is deeply regretted. as the gun: was not known to be loaded,
