Caven Church, W ,rithr;op
Celebrates Diamond Jubilee
With Special Services
(Continued from last week)
Mr. 'Cuthill in speaking said:
Mlany of us do not have very pleas-
•snt memories of the study of history,
either ancient or modern, when we
-!went to school,and in presenting to
sou this evening the history of Caven
Church for the sixty years, of its life
and activities, we assure that this is
not 'by any means all of its history,
nor of its 'illustrious members and
adherents who have gone forth from
our ;midst into other centres. to make
bier 'history, nor yet of those who
emaining here who have been carry-
ing on through the years until the
present day.
' We were asked to give a brief his-
tory, and keeping that in mand, have
endeavored to do so, but not for the
t same reason which a young man
studying fors the ministry gave. Be-
ing asked to take the services in a
charge where the minister was noted
for preaching long sermons, he was
apologizing to the session for the
brevity of his address, by telling them
that at the place where he stopped
t'he•night before the dog had ran off
with several pages of his manuscript.
Immediately a Scottish member of
the session spoke up and said, "Lad -
•+die, would you get a pup off that
.clog for oor minister." Brevity is the
.soul of:'history-for to -night, at least.
(Sixty years..ago, in July of 1875, a
petition "for the ,organization of this
congregation was . presented to t h e
Presbytery of Huron, signed by a
slumber of the' members' adher-
aents of the surrounding chur hes re-
siding in the Winthrop dist ict, and
upon August 10 of the same year the
request was granted and Rev. T. G.
'Thompson, then pastor of Duff's
Church, McKillop,' was instructed to
proceed with the organization of the
congregation.
The pastors who ministered the
congregation during those 60 years,
were as follows, with their years of
aninistry: Rev. T. G. Thompson,
1875-1876, one year; Rev. P. Mus-
grove, inducted Sept. 25, 187'7, and
removed by death in May of 1903,
having served the congregation 26
years; Rev. D. Carswell, inducted
Oct. 13, 1903, and resigning his pas -

COOLING
BREEZE!
HERE'S a breakfast for a hot
morning: A bowl of crisp
• Kellogg's Corn Flakes, with
• cool milk 'or cream, and
some berries or sliced fruit.
• Delicious! And marvelously
-refreshing.
Kellogg's are rich in
energy but light, easy to di-
gest. An ideal dish for ,any
hot -weather. meal. The
dagger of heat -prostration
la lessened when. Kellogg's
Corn Flakes are eaten in
place of heavy, slowly di-
gested foods.
Kellogg's are ready to
serve.. No cooking. They're
the largest -selling Corn
• Flakes in the world because
they're crisper,- finer in
flavor. And the patented
heat -sealed WAXTITE bag
keeps them oven -fresh; even
lair hot, sultry weather. Qual-
ity guaranteed. Made by
Kellogg in London, Ontario.

ber of 1927, he serving us for se

Mr, rswell, Rev. John Smith, Re
W. P. Smith and Rev. Mr. Morro
are living, Rev. Mr. Carswell bei
with us on this special occa 'on.
The members" of the first • Sessio
of the newly organized congregat'
were Mr. James ,Hilden, Mr. Dani
Campbell and Mr. Robert Calder, non
of whole are living to -day; those o
the present Session being Mr. WWm-'M
Trewartha, Mr. •Geo:cSpadden, M
Thos. Dodds, Mr. Calvin Hiller- an
Mr. A. A. Cuthill.
Of the charter members of the con
gregation of 1875, only one ,is livi
today, and is with us on this auspi
acus occasion, Mrs. James. Hille
One other, Mrs. Jas. Sparks, of Hen
sail, was living when the first step
were being taken for this anniversar
but her passing was announced s•om
weeks ago,,
The first woman's• organization .o
the congregation was known as th
Ladies' Society.of Christian Worker
beginning its life of useful activity i
September of 1900 with the late Mr
Musgrove its first president. Of th
original members of that society, onl
one remains to -day, Mrs. J. M. Gov
enlock, of Seaforth, and the oldes
living president is Mrs. John McClur
who is also taking a very prorninen
part in the, program at present.
In 1915 this local society became an
associate society of the W.M.S:, Mrs.
Robert Archibald being president at
that time, and the society in 1919 be-
came an auxiliary of the W.M.S. and
continuing as such ever since, Mrs.
Calvin Hillen being president of both
soca^.ties at the present time. In the
Sunday School, Which was organized
in the same year as the congregation,
we have the remarkable record of
having only two Superintendents in
60 years, the late Andrew Govenlock,
who served•until 1899, and Mr. Thos.
Dodds, the present superintendent.
While we have no available records
of the original members of the Board
of Managers, we have the evidence
in this, and the former church build-
ings and in the statistical reports
from that early date to this, that
these boards were persons with vi-
sion, wisdom and financing ability,
Mr. IEobert McFarlane being the
chairman of the present board.
In 1905 the first Young People's
organization was formed as a Guild
with Mr. Robert Beattie as its first
president. Later, in 1.916, it was re-
organized as a Young People's Socie-
ty and c.rntinues as such to -day with
Mr. Neil ''Montgomery as its present
leader.
In April of 1931 the first Mission
Band was organized under the lead-
ership and direction of Mrs. William
Dodds, with Miss Marion Little- as
first president, and the work is con-
tinuing under the direction of Mrs.
Hiram Blanchard, with Miss Isabel
Betties as president.
In February of 1895 the organ Was
first used to assist in the service of
praise, Miss Nellie Henderson, now
Mrs. John McIntosh, of Seaforth, be-
ing the first organist, and Miss Edith
'HIil+len the present one. •
When the congregatiorir'was organ-
ized its first •problem was a home in
which to have public worship, organ-
ized in August, and in December of
that same year witnessed these
worthy pioneers of ours opening and
dedicating their first House of God.
This building was of. wood through-
out, and the builder was the late Mr.
Hiram Blanchard. In 1907 the pres-
ent brick building was erected dur-
ing the pastorate of Rev.. Mr. Cars-
well, upon the site of the first one
which had been moved to permit this,
the builder being Mr. Perry.'
The first church was opened and
dedicated on December 29, 1875, by
Principal Caven, of Knox College, To-
ronto, after whom this church was
named Caven Church, Winthrop. The
cornerstone of the present building
was laid in September, 1907, and the
opening and dedicatory services were
conducted by Rev. Professor Robert-
son, of Knox College, on January 12,
1908.
The next outstanding event in the
congregation's history was the 50th
anniversary of its life during the
pastorate of Rev°oMr. Ferguson. The
services on this occasion were con-
ducted by Principal Gandier, of Knox
College, on the 4th-ofr October, 1925.
And to -night we are in the midst
of the celebrating of the 6,Oth anngi-
rsary of Cavern's life. The services
yesterday morning and eventing,
with Principal Davidson, of Emman-
uel College, as guest speaker, assist-
ed by Rev. Mr. Carswell and Rev. Mr.
Madoolm', of Egmondviile, were a fit-
ting approach and setting for this
special occasion, linked with the large
and attentive audiences of past and
present members, adherents and vis-
iting friends, who came to join with
US in this celebration and meet the
friends of yeeberday.

We had the interesting duty of
mailings over 600 invitations to those
once resident in this rvlcinity and the
sheaf of letters received in reply were
one unanimous expression of apprec-

through all the years, giving us the
finest evidence of the strong ties
which are formed by the Church of

Keep Pullets Growing
The •pullets should be on range with
a range shelter or other building for
protection from the weather, from
rodents and to give shade during the
day.
It is advisable to remove the cock-
erels, as being stronger than the pul-
lets they hinder the proper develop-
ment of the pullets if there are too
many of then•r. The best poultrymen
separate the pullets and cockerels as
soon as they can and grow the pul-
lets on a good mash, grain and clean
range. Poultry hygiene is exceed-
ingly important. Authorities advise
that feeding tatoughs and drinking
vessels be frequently disinfected. It
is a good ,plan to have them on a wire
mesh raised somewhat from the floor
so that the litter cannot be scratched
into them. Frequent cleaning of the
the pen and changing of the litter is
also advised, and by all means keep
them well supplied with dean Water.

Early Blight Of Potatoes
Early blight occurs in Quebec, On-
tario, Alberta and British Columbia,
and is particularly troublesome in the
Maritime Provinces where it occa-
sions heavy losses practically every
year. It is quite destructive in cer-
tain seasons, especially to such early
maturing varieties as Irish Gobbler
and Bliss Triumph. Later maturing
varieties suffer also and when tljey
are attacked late in the growing sea-
son the resulting losses may be very
heavy.
This disease attacks the leaves and
stalks of potato plants and is called

early blight because it usually ap-
pears comparatively early in the
growing season. The diseas�eis re-
cognized on the foliage as dark brown
to black roundish or .oval spots ir-
regularly distributed 'o'ver the leaf
surface and marked by the charac-
teristic target -like rings or ridges.
The last named feature readily identi-
fies this particular disease and dis-
tinguishes it from late blight as well
es from all other leaf disorders of the
potato. • Because' of the weaker con-
dition of the lower leaves they are
Most liable to infection, which is fur-
ther aided by such injuries as those
inflicted by soil, flea beetles and other
insects.
Contrary to the belief held for
many y=ears, early Might may attack
potato tubers. They are contaminat-
ed by the spores during digging op-
erations and typical spots may be
seen at any time, but the greatest
development occurs in storage. In-
fected ,areas are shallow, purplish -
brown. circular, with a tendency to-
wards irregularity, varying in diam-
eter from one-quarter to one inch
and surrounded< by an even raised
border. These lesions might be con-
fused with late blight rot but closer
observations show them to be shal-
low and isolated from the healthy tis-
sue by a tough corky layer, a symp-
tom never associated with late blight
infections which spread out unevenly
into affected tubers.
The importance of this disease has
made it necessary for the Division of
Botany, Dominion Experimental
Fades, to conduct tests for the pur-
pose of establishing the necessary
control measures which are as fol-
lows:
Spray with' Bordeaux mixtur

After,ihe Potatoes have been dug
rat= uta and burn the tops as the
offer winter protection to the fungus
responsible for early blight. Conr-
hine this measure with a rotation of
crops as a means of ridding the soil
of the fungus. Successive crops of
potatoes on the same land tend to in-
crease the disease and usually it is
worse each year if there is no rota-
tion of crops.
Avoid piling the potato tops close
to the newly dug pile of potatoes,

tant sources of tuber infection.
Use clean seed. Tubers showing
evidence of Alternaria rot should be
dseed.

sel and allow the" mixture to stand
for several hours; siphon or fitter off
the clear liquid which forms the
spray. Keep it in a closed container,
preferably a can or amber-colot red
•bottle, when not in use. Apply by
means of a small hand sprayer or
atomizer. •
The tiny biting midges, known as
"punkies" or "no-see-ums" sometimes
prove troublesome and are so small
that they pass through ordinary
screening without difficulty. The a-
bove spray when applied liberally to
the screens has a fairly lasting,.repel-
lant effect which prevents the midges
from entering.
Various fly dopes that may ap-
plied to exposed parts of the person
to prevent attacks by biting insects
have been recommended. A popular
one is made by mixing together 1 oz.
of oil of citronella, 1 oz. of spirits of
camphor and 1,/g os, of oil of cedar.
Another has tte following forniula:
oil of rassia 1 oz., campeorated oil 2
ozs., vaseline 3 ozs. A third pre-
paration that has been strongly re-
commended is made as follows: Melt
together over a gentle fire vaseline
1 oz., beeswax .1 oz., medium hard
•paraffin 1 oz.; cool' until •the mixture
is just fluid, then stir in 1 gram or
14 teaspoonful of oil of cassia and 2
gram or teaspoonful of oil of
citronella. •
When one has been bitten by in-
sects it is important not to scratch
the bites. Various cooling or sooth-
ing, lotions are the best remedy that
can be prescribed. Borated vaseline,
household ammonia, tincture of iodine
and eden ordinary toilet soap when
m,oistiened and rubbed gently over
the punctures will give relief.

Summer Protection
Hew to Deal With Mosquitoes, Black
Flies and Punkies
Now that the warns season is here
those troublesome biting insects the
mosquitoes, the black flies and the
tiny midges known as ".punkie:s" or
"no-see-unrs" are likely to cause dis-
comfort and annoyance, particularly
about summer residences and in the
woods. It is therefore timely to con-
sider ways and means of protecting
oneself from these small but blood-
thirsty- assailants.
,When camping, avoid selecting a
camp site near marshes, swamps and
stagnant pools where mosquitoes
breed, or in the near vicinity of dense
words and underbrush, where they
shelter. A dry, open space in the
woods, or on some fairly exposed
promontory, is preferable. Moreov-
er, it is advisable not to a ,amp close
to rapids of streams and ravers, for
it is from such places that black flies
often emerge in great num$ers. A
good fly -proof tent is invaluable in
protecting one from insect pests, par-
sticuuable.larly at night, when sleep is de
Around summer cottages, and other
dwellings, the grass should be kept
cut short, and shrubbery and under-
brush in which the insects shelter
should be kept dowhn to a minimum.
Proper screening of doors and win-
dbws3 is essential to comfort where
biting flies are prevalent. Screens
preferably should not be less than 16
meshes to the inch.
