tive that the Masons of the dr trict
have had the privilege of hearing.

Gladioli Thrip
Seaforth, May 3, 1933.
The Editor, The Huron Expositor: •
Dear Sir: • I •••believe it would 'be
in the interest of all gladioli growers•
whether they be large growers or
small, to give some information. as
to this destructive Thrip.
The first we heard of it was in the
fall of 1931, but while at our conven-
twn in February, 1932, a full report
of the damage Berne by this insect
when large quantities of gladioli
flowers were destroyed, was given. In
our own town, :tome two gardens• of
gladioli ;bleier were completely ruin-
ed.
Where this insect came from, no
one knows. It is fount] in most of
the United States, .Ontario and Que-'
tee. It appears to attack the young
growth, then the flower and com-
pletely spoils them, leaving not one
bloom. They look as if they had been
eceldecl. The Thrip is'so small that
it is hard to see them. They nuulti-
1,ly atseut six times in one summer
and in the fall descend to the bulb
and deposit their eggs, which hatch
as soon as warm enough. It is now
proven that the Thri cannot survive
the winter outside --ons on the stor-
ed 'bulbthey
can live. we da not
try the known remedies; we may
loose our ' whole crap this s coming
season. Last year I used w'haleoil
soap treatment and had no loss. '
,Several remedies have been propoSt
e'd for the disposing of this destruc-
tive insect. However, Allen G.
Dustin, of the Dominion Department
of, Agriculture, Ottawa, has selected
three 'treatments to destroy this in-
sect, as follows:: 1St: Napthalene
flakes, one ounce to 100 earns; and,
Corrosive swbtimt'ate, 1 ounce to six
gallons of water; 3rd, hot water
water heated to 120 degrees, the
bulbs submerged for ten minutes; use
the water so as to keep up to the
120. 'Phis is a si•nrple, cheap remedy
and will kill, not only the adult
Thrip, hut destroy the eggs 'also
Plant at once.
I would urge all to use this reme-
dy, whether you have otely a few
bulbs or hundreds. You may not have
had Thrip before, but you may be
swarmed 'witch them this season.

SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1933.
Alurnni Essap Coitest
esults Announced
(Miss Winnie Savau'ge was awarded
first place in bhe 'S. C. I. Alumni es-
say competition, it was announced
this week by the judges,',
M. E.
Turnbull and Charles Stewart. Miss
Helen 'Britton came second and Miss
Alice Devereaux, third.
The subject written on was; "How
the S.C.T. Alumni Association Can
Co-operate 'with the Students of the
Collegiate." • It was a hard task the
judges were faced with in as much
as •the essays were uniformly, good
and contained a large amount of con-
structive mtaterilal. They found it
necessar-y Ito' refer frequently -to the
'explanatory letter which accompanied
the announcement of the competition.
Incidentally the judges wereunaware
of the identity of the contestants,
each essay being identified by a num-
ber.
• Miss Savauge's Essay:
Since the Alumni Associa'tio•n is not
an association fes students, but for
graduates• :te bring albout co-opera-
tion between the two bodies and to
interest the students in the Associa-
tion and its 'work,• so that they will
later give it their loyal support, will
perhaps require.a slight infringement.
upon the custome of the older or-
ganization:
At the •pres'enb'time the students of
the Collegiate do not realize to the
fullest 'extent the aim or the work
of the Alutmni members; they do not
realize what planning and what real
labour, lie behind the various social
functions which have been sponsored'
recently by the graduates of their
.se'hool. In order that they may see
this matter in its true light, I should
's•uggeat that the Alulmni Association
have 'the complete responsibility of
at least one of the meetings of the
school's • Literary Society during the
year. In" this way, the mcmibers
themselves could •enlighten the stud-
ents upon this subject in whatever
way they might consider suitable.
An argament !between two, people,
or two 'bodies of people, hesealways
been„a most effective means of argue.,
ing; the interest of possible onlook-
ers. • Why, then, would not excite-
ment and interest be raised to a very
considerable pitch if the members. of
the Alumni Association and the 'stud-
ents were pitted,' the one against the
other, in a debate on some topic of
mutual interest?' This • idea, too,
could be carried out at a tmle'eting of
the Literary Society.
When a number of people cannot
be present to witness an object of -
interest, that object will no longer
remain of interest to them if they
have not a representative who, act-
ing as a witness for them all, gives
them a report of his observations up•
on .his return. It follows, therefore,
that the interest and the resulting
co-operation 'of the students `would
'be secured if they had a representa-
tive at the meetings of the Alulnni
Association or its executive. if such
an arrangement were made, I think
that the student representative
'should only be at the meetings where
projects concerning the scholars are
snider discussion. A different 're-
,pres,enttati'v'e should be chosen for
each meeting, he or '`she being elect-
ed from the higher forms of the
school, out of which will 'come •tho
next group of Alumni mtenters In
this way the two bodies would be
'hiked by a stronger band because
the representative would always give
as interesting a report• as. possible
before the school at its regular week-
ly assembly.
•'We shall suppose for a moment
that the interest of the boys and
girls is secured. What are they to
do now? There are manyy who would
like to have some small share in tlhe
work. Could they not be given a
few of the many duties 'connected
with a dance, •or a play, or with many
of the organization's many social ac-
tivities? If this could he done, hearty
ea -:operation and loyal support do
their part will be certain to follow,
resulting in a future Alumni ASsoc>:
iation which has very sincere and en-
thusiastic memiters.
There,is another service which the
students could render which could be
made profitable for all parties eon-
cern•ecl. This takes the form of a
ticket -selling contest among the pup-
ils. If they were, allowed to sell
tickets for any event for whi.:h tick-

Miss Britton's Essay.
When a great many members of
the Alumni Association attended the
,Seaforth Collegiate Institute a num-
ber of years ago, our'school was one
of the most •modern and was ranked
with those holding 'the highest stand-
ards in the. province. • However; -we
are unable to say that at the present
time,. No doubt when those•• ex -stud-
ents hear this they will. feel' a pang
of regret, but nevertheless it is true.
If the • ,school's qualifications for a
Collegiate are not kept up, it may go
back"so far as, to • ibe ,shamed, to a
high sehool. This, would be more
or less disastrous as far as the pride
of Seaforth is concerned, not to men-
tion the pride of the Alumni Associa-
tion:- • •
Those who have attended the Col-
legiate realize the value of physical
training in the school currleulum. But
under present conditions it is not a1=
ways an easy matter to procure
funds enough to, get the necessary
athletic • supplies. . A donation, blow:
elver small, would be of great assist-
ance to the struggling financiers of
this departmtent. Then, too, an in-
terest on the part of the Alumni
members in the activities of 1; ieId
Day would arouse in the students a
keener,interest in. sports. This in-
terest could be shown by their at-
tendance, at the anneal field meets.
To remind the students that the
Alumni imemibers are a very real
part of their athletic 'programs, e
cup might be offered to the athlete
obtaining the greatest numtber of
points in the school.
Our school library is not all that
it should be. It has been allowed to
deteriorate for .'a number of years
due to the fact no doubt, that it cost"
considerable to buy the best beaks,
which a Collegiate must have. It is
through books that the. .da of peo-
ple are influenced to a great extent,
and hence, in what 'better way could

Huron Club
• Hens'all, April 27, 1933.
To the Editor, Huron Expositor.
Dear Sir: Your correspondent got
a big surprise last night. • I attended
a meeting of an aggressive 'township
club and my impressions are so vivid
they the first things this 'morning I
have to sit down and tell you all.
about it.
'It's quite aristocratic, you know,
for city folk to belong to "The Coun-
try Glue,” "The Hunt Club" or other
some such club, but this one, I- am
going to describe is a real one I can
tell you. Think of a gathering of
nearly a hundred young folks from
20 to 30 years odd, all coming from
farm homes within a radius of gra
miles.' Young farmers with their
wives oiz sisters, farm employees and
high school 'students with their sis-
ters too. The setting was. all there
foe an enjoyable evening, a hoepitahle
host and hostess, plenty of instru-
mental ironic and singing. contests
and lunch, a spirited debate, real
funny as well as instructive, and a
couple of heavier numbers hearing
on advances in science and economic
conditions generally. Apparently
there was no nlrod for the iithiquitous
varnish and hazy atmosphere and
kept right up until midnight ton wit11-
out a 'break.
The Chth, as I take it, is non-
denominational and non-political, just
angi' Ili a '. and
o t n, a
organization rnte
thinking young mon and young wo-
men. And, mark you, they are think-
ing. That's where the "aggressive"
part of it' comes in just now. Next
step will be action, and there is en-
ough potential energy in these coun-
try clubs to make some stir, be-
lieve me!
These young folks had some nir
neat fitting clothes on last nivr.t„ hu'
are they just as sure where the nex,
'Suit is coating fro' 'i Ti hien
school students, are the justly cer-
tain that they will secur.' a school at
a living salary? .lust when will these
young farrir•er•s he a hie to settle down
on even a rented farm with a 'lecent
proepeet of making en honest liv-
ing? ••The'~e aggressive chits . may
not as yet have a workable solution
for their problems, hut they are on
the way. They ate seen going to
take a hand themselves and politic-
ians may as well take that for grant-
ed and these same politicians will
have to face the nesse pretty soon.

Summer officially arrived in
Seaforth this week. On Monday
the trout season opened and it
has been estimated that about 50 •
per cent. of the males in town of
21 years of age and over were
fishing at some time or ether
'during the day. The catch in
general was 'said to be small and
the blame was . placed on the
warm weather and high water.

Visitors Present From God-
erich and Clinton on
Monday.
The meeting of the Huron Coun-
cil of the Home and School Associa-
tion held on Monday evening at the
home of Mrs. Charles Hollm'ee, was
a most enjoyable one. Mrs. E. S.
Chapman, Seaforth, president of the
council, presided. The associa-
tion's of Goderich and Clinton were
well represented as well as that of
Seaforth:
'Canon Appleyard, the speaker
for the evening, gave a most
instructive and delightful.. al k
on the threefold development of the
child, physical, mental and sipiritual,
and the four influences most active
in his development, the home, church,
school and playground: A most in-
teresting and comprehensive report
of the recent Home and School Con-
vention was given 'by 'Mrs. Charles
Holmes, president of the Seaforth
Club. -
The` musical numbers we r e
all very . 'Much , enjoyed and ap-
preciated., Mrs. Saunders, of God-
erich, sang :several times acco'nvpane'
sed by Mr. Ht Livens. Mr. E. Dun-
can gave two. violin solos, his accom-
panist being Miss O'Leary; chorus by
girls of Miss Turn'bu•ll's room of the
public .school and community singing
were also on the programs. After
the program a social hour was spent
during which refreshments were serv-
ed by the Seaforth ladies.
CRUMARTY
Most of the farmers are pretty well
through with the seeding. The re-
cent dry 'weather has been favorable
toward getting in the crops.

Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday of
last week.
