PUPILS MARK
EMPIRE DAY
• Splendid: Demonstration Givenby the
Public School Students.
A large number of parents of the
public school`' thoroughly enjoyed the
fine demonstration at the ,public
-school grounds on ,Thursday after-
noon, which marked Empire Day.
The classes formed up on the
school campus and marched by the
Flag in column, Bill Sturdy taking the
salute. Mr. Posliff lead the parade
with his class and the other classes
followed in order ,each being in
charge -,of one of the boys from Mr.
Posliff's room. The march past was
splendidly done by all classes.
The pupils then formed a square in
the centre of the grounds and gauzes
were played by each room with one
of the older boys as referee. The
;games, consisted of French tag, relay
races ,etc., and caused considerable
<excitement for those participating and
a great deal of pleasure for the spec -
gators.
The Maypole Dance was staged by
girls and boys of the senior rooms
.and it was a treat to see these child-
ren taking their parts so cleverly.
May Queen. Clowned
The crowning of the May Queen,
Mabel Fothergill, senior fourth room,
who had been chosen by the pupils,
was excellently executed. The dignif-
ied manner with which .she and her
attendants paraded from the school to
the platform where the crowning cer-
emonies took place, was truly most
delightful. Her attendants were, Jun-
ior fourth room, Noreen Benedict for
Ruth Hamilton who was indisposed;
`Senior 3rd, Ann VanWyck; Junior 3rd
Grace Hingston; Senior 2nd, Grace
Parker; Junior 2nd Joyce Walker.;
Senior lst, Grace Bailey; Pruner, Mil=
ton Brown, Crown Bearer. During the
'crowning ceremonies the pupils of
Miss Reynolds and Miss Farquhar -
son's room sang "The Crowning of
the Queen."
The pupils were then formedup
near the school and Mr. Posliff gave
thema brief Empire Day 'address. He
reminded the children that this was
Jubilee year, that King George V. and
his Queen, diad for 25 years reigned
successfully over the Empire. He em-
phasized the fact that they should be.
proud to be a part of the British Em-
pire. He told them how the Empire
on which the sun never sets, is self-
sustaining. Everything that is needed
by our people is grown, raised, mined
or manufactured within the Empire.
The most important part of the Em-
pire are the boys and girls as they
are really the greaest asset and great-
est part of the wealth of the whole
' Empire. Mr. Posliff stressed the fact
that no Empire affords such possib-
ilities and opportunities as the Brit-
ish Empire. The great desire of the
King and Queen is for peace and he
sincerely hoped all the boys and girls
will see nothing but peace during their
life -time. He urged. the children to
turn their minds toward. peace and be
peaceful one to another.
Following the singing of ."God Save
the King" baseball and other games
were played.

ed her second year B.A. examinations

DECISION AGAINST
NRA IS GIVEN
The NRA, its vast code structure
tumbled by a sweeping. United States
Supreme Court decision of unconsti-
tutionality, "Monday night suspended
"allmethods of compulsory enforce-
ment."
Acting a few hours after the high.
court held unanimously President
Roosevelt had been given too rnuch
"unfettered" authority in proclaiming
codes, and code provisions went too
far in regulations affecting intra -state
commerce, the Newt Deal ad.rninistra-
tion took two preliminary steps,
Donald, Richberg, NRA administra-
tor, after a conference with President
Roosevelt, issued a plea that employ-
ers continue to operate under their
codes until some new structure could
be reared. -
In the same statement Richberg
added:'
"This decision of the court snakes
codes of fair coxn'petition unenforce-
able as a matter of law, and in defer-
ence to that ruling all methods of
compulsory" enforcement of the codes
will be immediately suspended,
JAILBREAKS BLAMED
FOR CAR THEFT
H',;' Campbell's Car Not Yet Founds
`Archie Hyatt, notorious jailbreaker
and his companion, Bernaard Leavey,
are believed to be the parties who
took Herb,: Campbell's car from his
driveway' on Tuesday night last week
and which has not yet been found.
This pair of desperadoes recently
broke out of Frontenac jail and are
believed to have reached Wingham
with stolen cars, orie of which, a big
Buick, from Whitby, they left behind
them here, when they stole Herb's
car. There have been numerous thefts
in this district during the last week,
at Listowel, Monkton, Mitchell and
Gorrie, and this Pair of bad men are
getting the blame for this activity.
They were believedto have been seen
in Listowel Sunday night and if they
continue to stay in this district it is
expected they will shortly be arrested.
BASEBALL GAME
WAS CALLED OFF
The Scheduled game between God-
erich and the local Indians at the
Town Park was called off on Mon-
day on account 'of rain. It was too
bad that this first game in the Bruce
League had to be postponed but the
country in general welcomed the rain
which was needed badly and will do
no end of good.
TRAFFIC OFFICER
HERE SATURDAY
Traffic Officer Lever, of Clinton,
was a caller in these parts on Satur-
day afternoon and evening. He had
a regular f, eld day .tearing up and
down Main Street looking for'those
who are careless with the traffic laws.
He stopped many but so far we have i
not heard of any blue papers being
handed out. But you had better 'check
over the old bus and see that the
lights, brakes, etc., are O.K. or the
traffic officer will get you if you don't
watch out.
MASONS ATTENDED
DIVINE SERVICE
Rev. E. L. Roberts Preached Inspir-
ing Service.
The members of Wingham Lodge
A.F, and A.M. 286 attended divine ser-
vice in St, .Paul's Anglican Church on
Sunday, evening. Visiting brethren
from Brussels, including Rt, Wor.
Bro. R. J. Bowman, D.D.G.M., Tees-
water, Lucknow, Listowel, Wroxeter,
and Cargill, were in attendance.
Rev. Mr, Roberts chose for the
Scripture lesson the 7th chapter, 2nd.
Book of Chronicles and the 4th chap-
ter, 1st Epistle General of John. , His
text was part of the 16th verse, 21st
chapter St. John the Divine"And the
city .l,eth foursquare."
Mr. Roberts welcomed the Masons
most heartily to this service and ex-
pressed the hope. that they receive
some inspiration from the sermon. He.
said the Masons are ever striving to-
ward the City as it is to be and they
are great because their ideals are to
build. He told of King Solomon and
his temple and how this temple exem-
plified the deity...Speaking of the :per-
iod of great cathedral building in
England, France and Germany, he
said the laymen were responsible for
their erection as well as ecclesiastics.
The city that is foursquare is the
ideal city and God. is not only Love
but Light. •
The four chief walls of speculative
Masonry, Mr. Roberts said, were Ed-
ucation, Patriotism, Good Will and
Faith. Education is development of
character and nobility, the search for
God. Patriotism is a sacred trust,
made up of three parts, loyalty to
God, loyalty to the King, loyalty to
our fellowmen. Good will and broth-
erly love one must have in his heart.
Masons should teach brotherly love
as Christ did, as their influence is felt
n practically every country of the
world. Faith is like the cement of
love that binds all the forgone to-
gether. It is the principal of our com-
mon life and gives value to any man.
No man can build well or complete
a city foursquare unless he has faith.
In closing he said a Mason's .duty
was to further education, uphold pat-
riotism, demonstrate brotherly love,
arouse and strengthen faith.
Mr. J. R. M. Spittal sang "In the
Land of Fadeless Day" and the offer-
tory anthem was "Seek ye the Lord",
the solo part being taken by Mr. C.
Templeman.
A Million Dollar Rain
The rain on Monday ,afternoon and
night was surely welcome after the

dollar rain and will certainly be of
greatbenefit to the crops in this vie-
,'
inity.

ered by Morris Christie and Les.

The speaker of the evening, Mr. A.
L. Posliff, was then introduced, and
took as his subject "Education, and
the part that the Public School Plays
in the Community." He gave a his-
tory from the .arrival of the United
Empire Loyalists in 1783 and the es-
tablishment of the Public Schools in
1854 by Egerton Ryerson, up until the
present time.
The three potent influences for the
development of citizenship, he said,
we're the schools, the churches and'.
the home.
He told of some of the difficulties
experienced by the teachers and said
that if they had the co-operation of
the parents they could accomplish
wonders.
He emphasized the fact that Can-
da's greatest resources were not her
minerals and her forests but her boys
and girls.
A hearty vote of thanks was tender-
ed Mr. Posliff for Itis interesting and
profitable address.

picnic 'was discussed and it was de-
cided to co-operate with the Sunday
