The Huron Expositor, 1935-07-05, Page 304,4 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 - Like a COOLING BREEZE!

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.

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.

McKenzie, Teacher, 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 1 ON GUARANTEED TRUST 4-% CERTIFICATES A legal investment fsr Trust Funds $100. and Upwards Accepted for Terms of 5 Years.

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 (4-4-401. Applications must be mad regularly- and thoroughly every te days or two weeks, starting who the plants are six to eight inche high. Bordeaux destroys the fungus strengthens the plant and reduce flea kettle injury 1vrieh is an aid t infection. 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, tints disposing of one of the impor- tant sources of tuber infection. Use clean seed. Tubers showing evidence of Alternaria rot should be dseed. iscarded when selecting potatoes for e e n • 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. ,The sugar beet acreage contract- s ed in 1935 in south-western Ontario totals approximately 36,000 acres. This isseveral thousand acres a'boye, the 1934 contracted acreage and a: bout 10,000 acres above the harvest- s: ed acreage of 193.4. The scale of prices offered for beets is the sam4 as in 1934 with a guaranteed mini- mum of 85.25 per ton for beets de- livered at the factories, and 75 cents' per ton lets or weigh -station defile- * 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.
