T-221 CANADIAN NATIONAL , WOMEN'S INSTITUTE HELD CONVENTION AT KINCARDINE Institutes From North and South Huron, Perth, Wellington, Grey And Bruce, Present. Hon. W. G. Martin Is Guest Speaker Hon. W. G. Martin was the guest Speaker at the banquet held in Knox Church last evening, The occasion was the. annual Contention of the Women's Institute and over 250 ga- thered.for the occasion. The supper was served under the auspices of the Hospital Aid of Kincardine. Mr. George A. Putman, superin- tendent of Women's Institutes in On- tario acted as toastmaster. After the toast to the King, Mr. G. H. Owen, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, proposed the toast to Agriculture in the absence Hon. James Malcolm. Mr. Wilfred Steele of Reid's Corners very fittingly replied, tracing the growth in importance of Agriculture. The speaker stated that Agriculture is a trust given us by God to feed and clothe the world. The toast to the Women's Institute was proposed by.. Rev. W. B. Craw of Kincardine, and responded to. by Mrs. Colloten of Lorne. Park.. Both speakers recounted with pride the work being done by the organization. Miss A. McBeth proposed the toast to the Junior Institutes telling how the organization has sprung into pro- minence. Miss A. McKinnon fitting- ly replied. Vocal numbers were given by Mr. H. Linklater and Miss M. Mc- Kay of Kincardine and Mr. Orah Crawford, of Ripley, which were greatly appreciated. Hon. W. G. Martin was'introd•uced by Mr. Putman who . spoke. of the welfare work being done. underthe guidance of the Honorable:; visitor. Mr. Martin introduced his 'talk by stating that were it not forthe work of the Women's Instituter the duties of the Department of Welfare would be three -fold. 'This was a ' glowing tribute to the organization which has So many diversified activities. A good tonic, said the speaker, in the present times is to think of the task ,of our forebearers; by their ,effortsgreat cit- ies have sprung out o`f woods. The chief glory of Canada ; is to ;build a temple of humanity; of justice, truth and righteousness which will' with- stand the perils of years.

It is impossible for people to live apart, where the home, church, school and other organizations are inaking • tis brothers. It is a wide spread recog nition that man is his brother's keep- er, said the speaker: At the present time every topic we : have deals with human well-being, insurance, pen- sions, relief and pulpit and press, The glory of pioneer days has not depart- ed from us and we are still building for something better. We have given the enrichment of life a prominent place, One important work being carried a on by the Welfare Depart- ment is to give all .children a sport- ing chance in life. Governments and voluntary agents must go forward shoulder present time most of the is published in printed form and full accounts of all meetings are subimt- ted td the press, Contact with pros- pective members is made by telephone and Bring -A -Friend meetings. Com- petitions and demonstrations are .of- ten held at fairs and in this way new ideas are encouraged. It has been found that a better understanding is promoted between rural and urban• societies. Mrs. Davidson' spoke -on the ..work done in ' education by the Institute. Through the Institute courses have been given in many vocational schools, and assistance has been ren- dered to the School for the. blind. The improvement in the transportation during the last few years has done much to further education, stated the speaker. World organizations have been formed to raise the standard: of living in many countries, added Mrs. Davidson. Education makes 'life more interesting and much happiness is derived therefrom. . During tate past few years the Women's Institute has donated prizes at School Fairs in se- veral subjects. Other societies have given concerts to raise money for ed- ucational purposes. In this way, con- cluded the delegate, education is re- ceiving more thought and study by society than at any .other time in his- tory. FIVE ROSES FLOUR $2.85 75c 98-16. B 24-16.

Many curios and an- tiques have been collected to bring back into 'prominence the memories of Long ago. Many societies hold a .Grandmothers' Day with the entire program carried out in fitting sur- roundings. Papers are given on past events which always prove interest- ing, not only to members but to the general public. Speaking on relief, Mrs. Phillips, of Goderich recounted the spirit which existed during the war to help soldiers and such is the spirit needed in relief work. Although there is a scarcity of money it is a challenge for 'the Institute members to meet. The junior institutes deserve credit for the assistance they have given the senior organizations in sending out, relief. In the past, boxes have been sent to the Women's Institute in Indian Reservations, as well as Christmas Cheer boxes, Seeds have been supplied tomany needy famil- ies and in this way they were able to grow their own provisions; The feed- ing of transients has been cdred for in inany centres by this organization and many interesting stories have gained from some of them. In the absence of Mrs, Paisley, of Clinton, Mrs. Fyfe read a paper on Canadian Industries and told of the Work done in the leading industries in Canada. In regard to Agriculture the buying power of the farmer must be increased before we can expect any degree of prosperity stated the speaker. Mrs. Colloten", of Lorne Park spoke briefly on keeping a diary, of the activities of each branch. About 40 members of the Junior Institutes held their rally on Wed- nesday morning. Miss Beth Alton, of Lucknow presided. The work was in charge of Miss .Florence Eadie, In- stitutes Branch, Toronto and consit- ed in demonstration work. Miss And- erson of Dungannon, speaking on health advised that more care of choice in foods eaten should be used. Many people eat for pleasure and do not give proper care in the selection of their' diet. The Walkerton. r Junior Institute gave a demonstration of dresses,. aprons and clothing for fall while Miss Beulah Hynes spoke on the importance of Posture. Miss C. Cun- ningham, of Walkerton, told of the work in coaching the judging team. Two graduates of MacDonald Instit- ute, Guelph spoke on the importance of study in home -making and urged the young people to devote more to its study. Concluding the meeting Miss Ead- ie stated that the main object of every one should be to• become a master home -maker. The final meeting of the convent- ion was in charge of •Mrs. Leach, Chesley with Mrs. R. B. Colloten, president F.W.I.O., Lorne Park as speaker. Mrs. Colloten spoke of the nnumerable small tasks which the • housewife must do. While they be- come monotonous they are so im- portant that careful consideration nust be given them. _Women thought he speaker should take a definite est period to conserve the engery vhich is necessary in doing the daily vork. Another important phase in the home is the care of the children in egafd to feeding and clothing. The arly training of the child means more than all the information and ducation gathered in later life. We must train children in honesty and prightousness, stressed the speaker. etty., dishonesty is so prevalent 'Yet t could be • banished with a little lore care in the home. Youth may ave its outlet and ,it is the duty of he organizations in the community o find a sufficiently interesting pro - ram to make them useful citizens. Irs. Colloten opined that in the truggle 1e f r 0 world w ld ,peace, so much ore could be done for its advance- entin the home beside the constant ending in of resolutions and petit - ns to the officials, In conclusion ie speaker asked that a little more me and thought be given to the ttle things which go so far in the nprovement of the home '.life.

Paperemen, in the person of 13. Geo. Pearce, Ppblisher• of the Waterford Star and the Simcoe Reformer. He was in his sixty-first year and had been ill for two weeks. The late Mr• Pearce ,vas a former Chairman` of the Weekly Section of the Canadian Press Association, and was widely known among the ,news- paper fraterninty in Canada, He pub- lished the Waterford Star, founded by his father, the late 1?. J. Pearce, for the past thirty-six years. In 1922 he acquired the 'Siincoe Reformer from the late H. 13. Donly, and had con- tinued as President of the Pearce Publishing Company, Limited, until the present time. "Miss Wrighter, do you know your work of late has been most perfunc- tory?" "Thank you, sir; that's the first bit of praise I've had about it." He: "But darling, we arranged to keep our engagement secret." She: ,' Yes, but I couldn't help it, Yesterday Joan said no idiot would ever marry ine, and I had to contra- dict her. Jack—"Dad, what are ancestors?". Dad—"Well, my boy, I'm one of your ancestors. Your grandfather is another," Jack—"Then why do people brag about them?" C.N.R. Earnings The gross revenues of the all-in- clusive Canadian National Railways System for the week ending October 14th, 1933, were $3,107,950, as com- pared with $3,381,187 for the corres- ponding period of 1932, a decrease of $273,237. Elected Governor of Association Mr. Jno. Stevenson, Licensed Trus- tee, of Stratford, at a meeting of the Licensed Bankruptcy Trustees in To- ronto, was elected one of the Gov- ernors of 'their newly -formed organi- zation, Ontario Association of Bank- ruptcy Trustees. Northern Hockey League Annual, October 31st The Northern Hockey League's an- nual meeting will be held in Palmers- ton at the Queen's Hotel on Tuesday, October 31, at 4 p.m. Nominations for the different offices may be for- warded to the secretary, E. L. Buck- ley, at Southampton, or presented at the annual meeting. There are many important items to come up at this meeting for the betterment of the league, and it is strongly urged that each club have at least one represen- tative attend. Gambling Tricks To begin with, those interested might be well advised not to gamble. But if you must gamble you might profitably read what Doctor Blake, teacher of dramatics at,Columbia Un- iversity, has to tell poker players: "Don't watch your adversary's face; look at his elbows. If he holds them close he is trying to control emotion and that, means 'bluffing'." Another observer says watch his thumbs, It is pointed out that Dr. Blake got his tip from Hindoo courts. Here, when barefoot natives testify, lawyers watch the witness's big toes. When they move involuntarily, . the witness is dying. The face is always calm. Seven Eclipses in 1935 In the .year 1935, which is not so fat in the future, the world is to be treated to a heavenly shoi,v which no man now living can recall ever see- ing before. From January to Decem- ber there ,will be seven eclipses—five of the sun and two of the mooti. This is the greatestP ossible number of eclipses than can happen in any one year, and it is 128 years since the ev- ent has occurred. The last time this series of eclipses took place was dur- ing 1805, when Lord Nelson won at Trafalgar. As far as Canada is con- cerned, the interesting thing about the seven 1935 eclipses is that 'five of them for certain and possibly six of them will be visible from various portions of the Dominion, This Pigeon No Gone "Hobo" And ]tides Rails Moncton, N,� —i40nct Moncton pigeon. 1 has gone "hobo" and•ridesthe rods about the railway, yard.

Managing Dollar by Gold Content Washington—President Roosevelt's proposed method of "managing” the currency by controlling the amount of gold in the United States is now well under way. Mr. Roosevelt, un- der the plan he outlined in Sunday night's address, proposes'a permanent regulation by buying gold in foreign markets as one means of stimulating therice rise, this t o be followed, possibly, by sales abroad if it should become necessary to check the ad- vance of the price level. The Presi- dent's allusion to "sound" money was taken in many quarters as another in- dication ,of the Administration's av- ersion to direct inflation. SAYS ENGLAND IS RECOVERING 500,000 Workers Absorbed Since February, Dunlop Head Reports "Industrial' conditions in England, .1 think, show considerable improve- ment over six months ago. Improve- ment has been gradual to the extent of the absorption of 500,000 workers since last February, and that is some achievement," said Sir George Be- harrell, president of the Institute of the Rubber industry, managing dir- ector of the Dunlop Rubber Co,, London, 'England, And director of the Dunlop Tire And Rubber Goods ds Co. of Canada, just before meeting the Canadian directors recently. Sir George is of the type of finan- cial and industrial expert who weighs his words, never fails to. smile even under the most exasperating ci scut tt stances, and is .a general favorite Wherever he goes on his world-wide mission of commerce. - Ne rs rioted as nti industrial leader and as anen- i pert on statistics and finance, "The recovery in England has not been general," Sir George said, "but in the lighter trades like building, the recovery has been much greater thar in the heavier engineering field and ship building. But conditions gener- ally are much better and improving all the tune." Disarmament Favored Asked what effect the disarmament question had on trade and commerce generally, Sir George said: "Disarm- ament is a very wide question. No matter how pessimistic people may be regarding ardi g ng .the • result of the last European conference, throughout Gt. Britain we have the feeling that the people are behind us. We are sure of that. There is a feeling that dis- armament for the average individual nation is desirable in the cause of pe.,, "aceIf, as has been suggested, Ger- many has been endeavoring to buy airplanes from Great Britain and could not buy them, I have heard nothing about it," said Sir George. who is a director of Imperial Air ways,, Ltd. "No nation in Europf could sell them this equipment undo: the 'Treaty of Versailles, German3 has a very large fleet of commercial airships, but these could hardly stand out ,against airplanes designed for war purposes, So far as money and war are concerned, it may be stated that money never yet stood in the way of war, and it never will, probe. ably." Sir George said that the rubber in- dustry had recovered in England much rapidly z than in America, Referring to the Economic Confer- ence and its effect on business, Sir George said that much had been ac- complished,. but 'time would be re- 'quit'ed. The 1'fiaperial Conference at Ottawa had• proven to be of very great -benefit, Sir George Beharrell was awarded tete I).S.O. in 1911 and was knighted ii 1919.
