WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7th, 1929 WINGHAM MAN IN TROUBLE As he was trying to get a refund on 'two railway tickets for Calgary at the ticket office in Galt on Monday, Cal- vin Cruickshanks, aged 24 of Wing - ham, was arrested by Chief Constable Boyd of Galt, on a charge.. of theft •of, $1,500 from Mrs. Noreul Fleich- .a.rner, a widow of Milverton, Ont. Ctuikshanks, a married man, with :a wife and family at Atwood,, was employed as a hired man' on the farm -of • the complaint. For the past year, Cruickshanks looked after the :farm, and, according to the police, de- voted his evenings to telling the wi- ,dow' of how . they could leave the farm, go to San Francisco and. be- •come wealthy. His rosy pictures of life in the Golden West and its won, •derful opportunities attracted the wo- man.. Mrs, Fleichamer had $1,800 cash in the bank ,from an -insurance policy left by her husband. Last week she ,•drew the money from the bank and -purchased two tickets to San Fran - .cisco. The farm 'was left in charge of her brother. When the couple •reached- the United States border at Detroit, immigration authorities re- fused to admit them, and they came ibacle to Toronto. Cruickshanks hadthe railway tick- ets changed for tickets to Calgary last Thursday. The couple register- ed in a downtown hotel. During the -night, while the woman slept, Crnick- •shanks is alleged to have entered her room and, taking her purse from be- neath the pillow, removed $1,500 of -the $1,800 and departed. The woman was taken by the hotel proprietor to the detective' office, where a warrant was sworn out for Crtiickshank's :arrest. --Globe. • VETERANS 'SHUN HURON RATEPAYERS AND TRUSTEES ASSOC. WANT CHILDREN KEPT ON FARM The fifth annual convention of the Huron County Association of Trust- ees and Ratepayers was held on Sat- urday, November 2nd in the Council Chamber• of the Town Hall, Wing- ham, with the hall comfortably filled, the presence of a goodly number of ladies being an encouraging feature. William Archibald, president of the Association, occupied the chair. The minutes of the meeting of a year ago were read by the secretary, Mrs. R. Davidson, and adopted as read on motion of E. C. Beacom, I. P.S.; for West Huron,., aiid Mr. E. Fulton. The president, in his address, said that it is a question of vital interest to provide education suitable; for the boys and girls who intend to make farming their life work, While he thought itwise .to leave the road open for those who wished to attend col- lege, he believed the road to college was rade almost too attractive as it is not ui thebest interests of:. the country to have so many of the, youth ; of the land leave the farrns to make their life work along profes- sional lines. He thought the situa- tion was almost tragic. With up'- wards of $70,000" being spent in the county, annually, for secondary edu- cation, the rural people have little voice in saying how this money should be spent, which is entirely contrary to the principles of democ- racy. It should be the chief object of the people to provide suitable sub- jects of study on the curriculum in secondary schools for the rural child.. He paid fitting tribute to the pio- neers, who endured much hardship in hewing out homes for themselves and their families, front the wilder- ness of forest once crowning our fair land, only to have these same homes and farms deserted today ow- The Annual Church Parade, in memory of comrades who fell in the 'great war, will be held in St. Paul's Church, Sunday morning, November 10th at 11.00 a.m. Parade at armour- ies at 10.30. o'clock. Winghans Band will accompany parade to and from 'Church. A Parade will also be held in Clinton at 3 p.m. the same day, to which all veterans are cord- ially invited.

In the sparsely settled dis- tricts, the idea has been evolved of bringing travelling schools to the. children. The more closely we can. get in touch with education, the greater benefit will be derived. He spoke of the present situation when boys and girls leave home so' early,in life to goto cities and towns for secondary education, and believ- ed that the home environment would be preserved by the new proposal of bringing high school work and uni- versity work nearer home. As to how it would be arranged; he was not prepared to say. Perhaps, instead of introducing the system into all col- legiate institutes, certain central schools in counties would be selected. and these endowed with facilities for additional courses. What now costs from $450 to $500 per pupil in the university •could be done in; colleg- iates for from $135 to $150 Per pupil. If the two years' course now taught in: Collegiates reverted to public schools there would be a reduction in cost to probably not more than $40 per pupil. It would necessitate two -room schools in most cases, as he knew from experience that, in a school with one teacher, the fifth class took the lion's share of the tea- cher's time to the neglect of the jun- ior classes of the school. There would be difficulties in the way, but the principle is good, and difficulties could be surmounted, and the greater number of pupils taking the courses would make it worth while.

TIGHTWAD WINS A 'tightwad is not generally a pop- ular chap, although he may have many attractive qualifications, but the Tightwad portrayed in the play in tithe town hall on Friday evening; ley the A. Y. P. A. of, St. George's chur- ch, Goderich, was altogether of an- other nature. This young group made a splendid presentation, and two or three of the cast deserve all the fav- .orable criticisms. Mrs. Fred. Sturdy •on three hours notice, took the part of Mrs. John Taylor, owing to the illness of Miss Gladys Ginn, and gave a good interpretation of a tired and -tactful mother. Major Fred Sturdy as the tightwad, carried off some trying situations with a natural, ease; readily accepted dinner: invitations and cigars from his prospective' fath- er-in-law, but showed ,a real human streak when he trade good with Ms investments. Will Sturdy, knew many of the brusk abruptness of a tired book- keeper, and the father of two hope- ' Mess present day children, whose main. ambitions were clothes and a good. time. Miss Ruth Cormier captivated the hearts of the audience by a real. naturalness in her acting,' and of her persuasive manner not only with her boy friend, who sacrificed much, but with her father, who naturally con eluded her ways were best. Mrs. R. C. Hayes ,proved a common type of pleasure seeking and money -hunting girl, whose interests ended when ad- versity came, and showed it with erne phasic, Lionel Dunsdon, her friend, made a good impression as did A.

ET+'7RE SIREN "TEST COUNCIL PREPARES FOR NOMINATIONS Wnigham town council dealt with a number of rather insignificant mat- ters on Monday night that occupied considerable time. Mrs. Rapp of Walkerton, suggested that the town should provide for her during the en- forced absence of her husband in Go- derich.. Council declined with thanks and the County town of Bruce will be given the honour. Women's Hospital Auxiliary were granted a rebate of hall rent for eu- chre and dance held last month, but not without expression of general feeling by council,that some new sys: tem ought to prevail next year. Coun- cil while •sympathetic to many worthy institutions and organizations, feel that recognition should be made in a certain definite way, and that hall rents are a matter of strict business. Mayor Fells reported that an am- iable agreement is being made with Turnberry.Township for tile draining the B. Line from the end of the pave- ment to the railray crossing, the town to supply thm tile and the town- ship doing the wo,k, It will cost the town about $720;5 but will ensure a good road and afford drainage to a number of houses; ing to the fact that so few remain school nurses, domestic science cour- on the farms. ses and other measures that would be Mr. Spotton, M.P., followed with practicable.

His proposed education as outlined in work consists not alone in paying- out the monies of the section he repre- sents, but he should take an intelli- gent interest in the welfare of the child." Canada today is spending :millions of dollars annually for research, and he wished to impress upon the sec- retaries and trustees his willingness to co-operate with them in supply- ing them with material along this line which would be of educative val- ue in the schools. He touched upon the splendid work of school fairs, and stated that there is a new gen- eration arising. Public opinion must necessarily be moulded to coincide With . changed conditions., Education must be practical in this age, he said,. Rev: H. W. Snell, who is president of the Ontario Educational Associa- tion of Trustees and Ratepayers, and who is now principal of the Mohawk Institute at Brantford, was the next speaker. He found it difficult to choose a subject for his address, as at the present time, so many ideas are being put forward for the promotion and betterment of education. The Department of -Education is inviting criticism rather than destructive criti- receiving a good deal of constructive criticsm rather ,than destrt'ietive crib-. cisco as formerly. The searchlight of criticism' has been turned upon the educational system, with the result' that more suitable plans are being evolved for the promotion of educa- tional work throughout the Provinee. The Township School Bard Bill,al- though not meeting with general ap- proval seemed to be the solution of the difficulty. County School boards also had been suggested, and now comes a later proposal by. the Min- ister of Education which he proceed- ed to explain, although not as yet convinced of the best way of carry- ing out the idea. He spoke of the mini'ster's propo- sal to have a re -arrangement of The public are warned that the fire siren will be blown every Saturday morning 'hereafter at 10 o'clock. This is for test purposes only, Mr: Snell's address. He told of the instruction in agriculture whichhad been introduced into Goderich ,Col- legiate this year for the first time. He believed in giving the training that would fit the child for .farming. At present, owing to the lack of co- operation between school boards no special instructions could be given. He spoke of the increasing inter- est being taken in the country for musical instruction in the schools, citing several centres where, with tate surrounding group of schools, it is being carried out with much suc- cess, He outlined the generous grants given by the Department of Education both in music and agri- culture, as wellas for household sci- ence, school lunches, libraries, etc. He advocated snaking, the school and its surroundings the beauty spot of the 'community, and deplored the fact that school grounds and buildings are often so unattractive. The` treasurer's report was read and adopted, and the election of of=- ficers took place, which resulted in the former officers of the association being re-elected. They are: Presi- dent, William Archibald, Seaforth; first' vice-president, E. Fulton, �Brus- sels; 2nd vice-president, Mr, McKel- lar, Seaforth; secretary -treasurer, Mrs. R. Davidson, Dungannon.' The place of meeting for the convention next year was discussed, and the question was left in the hands of the executive to decide. Heretofore the meetings were held in Clinton, which is a more central place, and it is be - toted that a larger representaiton would be present at that centre, The president asked for the support of alt in making the convention of next year a success. Mr. Fulton was ap- pointed as a delegate to attend the district convention to be held at Guelph on Saturday, November 9th. Mr. Fanner, principal of the Sea - forth Collegiate Institute, followed a a. Work of repairing the dam through damage by the spring flood is about complete at an 'estimated cost of $5500. Considerable filling and some cement work is still to be done.

The economic sit- uation of the province is changing, The scientific study of soils and fartn machinery, together with intensive cultivation is bringing people back to the farms. The time is fast approach- ing when agriculture will be taught in: all schools. He thought that the choosing of a vocation is a very ins - ti believed portant matter and be l`i ve that pub - tic school teachers should' be trained fes giving intsruction in vocational Advice. He believed that the public > school system should be related more def. mately to the life work of the pupils, While he thought that education was progressing by means of improved curriculums, yet the Crest had not yet arrived, The'. singing of the National Art - them brought the cotrvcnt oe to a close.

ANDREW'S ANNI- VERSARY SERVICES Last Sunday will long be remem- bered by the large congregations in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church through the eloquent and impressive message brought by Rev. Mr. Bar- clay of Hamilton at the anniversary services. In the morning he spoke on the development of Christian life or character. 'This does not come spasmodically. nor at once, but by gradual development, a persistent faithful following of the example set by the San of God. As the Bible says: "Precept upon precept, deed upon deed; here a little and there a little." His message in the even- ing was one of great inspiration to the true believer. Floral decorations around the pul- pit suggested a kindly interest by lovers of the chard -to while the choir rendered special anthems that lent much to• the pleasure of the services. A free-will offering amounted to $1,000,00: The pleasing success of the services in every way is a matter of great sat- isfaction, especially as the pastor, Rev, D. Petrie, is away in the West, on an official visit. b R b e h rete Mat quality t rs for t e, sa price at Greer's Shoe Store as you pay elsewhere for seconds, to men and women of the type of Mr, and Mrs. Campbell, W.M.S.
