Members (Continued from -Page 1) memorial to the terminations of the Women's Home Missionary! Society. Goderich Foreign Missionary So- eiety was also formed In 1877 and there is a re'c'ord of a life member- sl•lp being presented to the president, Mrs. Robert tire, in 1881. Among the first membeee of Bel - grave At apiary, organized in 1887, were four Irvine eaters, three of whom later became missionaries, to Caine., sent out by the New York 'Mission Board. One sister died some years ago, but the other two are still living in. Shanghai. Before Union in 1925 the Presbyter dal was composed of 24 Auxiliaries, 2 Young Women'e Auxiliaries and 18 Mission Bands. Only three congrega- tions --Exeter, Goderich and Seaforth —remained. after Union, but Hensel' soon reorganized; Clinton followed, and later minority groups in Bayfield, Rath and Auburn. In 1931 Belgrave was transferred from Maitland Pres- bytery to Huron, a total of nine con gregations and nine auxiliaries. Under the guidance and blessing of God the work` has continued success- -fully and since 1925 the following la- dies have held; the office of President: Mrs. F. H. Larkin, Seaforth; Mrs. J. Greig, Seaforth; Miss L. M. Jeckell, Exeter; Mrs. D. J. Lane, Goderich, all of whom have upheld the traditions of the 'office. .At the Goldlen Jubilee of the Pres- byterial in 1935, tribute was paid to Miss H. Lsabel Graham, of Seaforth, who faithfully served in the capacity of recording, corresponding and press secretary for 25 years. During the 53 years since organiza- tion five treasurers have efficiently transacted the financial business of the Presbyterial: Mrs. S. J. Mc- Caughy, Seaforth; Mrs. A. Scott, Sea - forth, who for 18 years faithfully dis- charged the duties of this office; Mrs. J. C. Greig, Seaforth; Mrs, H. C. Dun- lop, Goderich; Mrs. T. Swan Smith, Seaforth, now entered upon her fopr- teentir consecutive year, all of whom have proved worthy. successors. Our 'honorary president, Mrs. H. Arnold, of Hensel!, although not a .charter member, has been associated with Huron Presbyterial for 50 years and is still actively engaged in eels- •sionary work.

News is very, scarce this week as the exams have aeist off the extra cur- ricula activities of the pupils. There are exanns every day and industrious. pupils go home after Pofr and stay In at nights. In. general, the pupils stay that the exam's are very hard; we would like to print the exact words of the pupils, but modesty forbids the deed. Pupils are taugbt excellent English at school and .have large vo- oabularies at their command, but some have gone beyond their school teaohings 'and can. swear very fluent- ly. * * s In our opinion no pupil should find the exams hard. If a student applies himself diligently, does his homework regularly and conscientiously prepares his lessons, at exam time a quick re- view is all the studying necessary. . Unfortunately, few do their work in this manner. The regular assembly was held this week but did not last long. The rea- son was that students. are behaving themselves so well that there was nothing to reprimand them for. Around exam timestudents adopt f.ca very saintly attitude, thinking that perhaps they eavi fool the teachers in- to giving them a few more marks. However, students were warned to make Tess noise when proceeding from one class to another. Students usually save choice bits of gossip fo'r this period, but are now deprived{ of the liberty. In some schools students are allowed to sing and whistle while going from dans to class, It would be different to hear a number of hap - by pupils go by the door singing lust- ily and swinging their books. Of course, all the pupils have to sing ,the same song and the result must be music. It's an idea anyway.. , * * * By this time you will probably no- tice that your correspondent has not been shot. Nevertheless, d,ire threats were uttered and attempts were made. But protected by two knives, three pistols and a rifle, the column lives on (perhaps it will end next week; who knows!). * * * Jesse Owens almost `lost his title (fastest moving human) last week. Charles Case nearly' became the new title 'holder when he connected two little bare wires with his fingers. He was working 00 a buzzer connection in the shop and was testing his work by connecting it to a socket. Charlie turned on the juice and then connect- ed the two wires with his fingers. Im- mediateiy the current surged through his arm and thrilled bis' body. Charles began to dance and tried to drop the wires, only succeeding when "'a . pupil nearby pulled the switch. * * * Heard in the ball, the speaker, need- less to say, being a boy: "The girls up here certainly don't spend their money trying to make themselves beautiful." Next week the girls will likely say what they think of the boys and it will likely have to be wrapped in asbestos. There is a great deal of rivalry between the boys and the girls in all school activities. Such rivalry livens things up and there is never 'ha'td feelings. * * * A previous story in this column mentioned that some students are hard of hearing. This week there is another case of hardshearing, which resulted in unnecessary hard work. Miss Wood asked Donald Scott to bring in a Latin book from the Lib- rary and Scott immediately perform- ed the deed. When he got to the Lib- rary he saw 19 volumes of the Latin book and he thought Mise Wood told him to bring them all. Seizing the 19 volumes, Scott staggered back to the form. Miss Wood was surprised at the burden and explai•need• to the crestfallen lad that she only wanted one. • * * * Since school opened in September, the school spirit has greatly increas- ed. The new gymnasium can not be compared with the old barn, and it is thought that the new gyrmnasium is responsible for the rise in school spir- it and resulting successes. As exam- ples of school spirit, Seaforth won the Medd Cup at the Huron County Athletic Meet;, Isabella McKellar won a .district championship and the three runners-up came from Seaforth. Then the football team won tihe Crawford Cup for the first time in several years and the team was enthusiastically supporter) bye S. C. I. students. A hockey team has been formed and, the boys are on the top ,of ,the schedule, (having lost only one game. Now basketball teams hove been formed within the school and there is much enthusiasm shown in the games which take place after 4 o'clock. The girls also have formed a basketball team and they will play against other schools. The following are the views of different teachers and ,puptis on the subject: Mr. Weedmark: "I think there is more enthusiasm and school Spirit slhown lately than for some time. The hockey team is doing well, but the great change is in basketball. In the old gymnasium 'it was a rough game, but now the boys are playing eagerly under the new rules a.ndi are playing keen basketball. Undoubted- ly the new gymnasium is the reason for this, as basketball can, now "be played as it should be." Dave Stewart: "School spirit is rapidly' corning back and it will soon be equal to the, spirit shown years back when the school went in for athletics. 1 think this is caused by tthe new gymnasium, as the boys have a real place now for basketball and gymnastics. The boys are talcin.g an interest in sport and the hockey team has done exceptionally well." Merle Keating: "For the first time in years the girls are taking an inter- est i•n sports. They won a champion- ship at the County Meet and are tak- ing more interest in P. T. classes. The new gym is the reason for this, for in other years the girls bard to run. out In the snow to get to theeeld gym and this dampened the enthaihiesm.:' Donald Scott: • ftWihether or not the new addition to title school has say- tto dei with school ambit, I can- not say, but there certainly is a change at the school. The football team w:on, The championship; the hockey boys are doing well, and all the boys are taking 'peat in Ilhe bas. inetba l games. This is the spirit that should be ehowil and there Is room for Mill More of it." . Friel Stewart: "The new gym has certainly changed P. T. elassee. It was an effort to play 'haskebball.in tete old; gym or to use any of the equipment, andsfehool spirit dropped. Now the boys are playing keen bas- ketball and also good hockey. Mary O'Neill: "The girls are be- ginning to take aur interest in at1- letie0 again and school spirit is springing up. Two is a result of the new gymnasium; as it its so different from the old one. The girls are now equipped with tunics for P. T. and are putting more spirit in their games." * * It Was expeotedi that Exeter would Play hockey here this week, but they cancelled the engagement, as they had ae with Crediton. If it can be arranged they !will Flay here this Friday instead. s • * In basketball the' Beavers defeated! the Cardinals 10-9, and the cantinas defeated the Aces 20.10. The: Week In Ottawa Monday, Feb. 27 It was very much a Farmer's day in. the House today. Mr. Johnston (S. C., Bow River) introduced his res olutiote urging the Government to set the price of wheat at 95 cents at the local elevators, which would mean $1.15 or $1.20 wheat at Fort William. One of the features of the after- noon'was the attempt macre to make 'Members quit reading their speeches. This habit is getting so prevalent that some action will have to be taken to see that the rules are enforced., Mr. Fair (S. C.) was heartily in favor of the resolution as were many other western members. Mr. Illackmore was all ready with a plan to show how the money could be obtained without any taxation and without incurring any debt. He'was going to launch into his money scheme but the Speaker in- festecd that the confine hie . remarks, to the question under discussion. The S., C. group tried to make it appear that the Government is trying to prevent them from laying their w hole plan be- fore the House. Of course this charge is ridiculous as they spent about three weeks doing that ver .thing last year and we know just as ' much about it when they were through as when they started. Af•tenepending the day on this ques- tion, at about 9 p.m. the motion was withdrawn. The final hour and a half was spent discussing the resolution introduced by Mr. Harry Leader; who was anx- ious to have the whole question of live stock carefully examined in re- gard to improving the stock and, also in regard to the improvement of mar- keting conditions. Hon. James Gardiner closed the de- bate on both the resolutions discuss- ed. He said that as far as the price of wheat is concerned the Govern- ment had assured the House a policy would be submitted soon, but it would not be a fixed price. In regard to the marketing of live stock he said this !natter ,had receiv- ed, and was receiving, careful sturdy by ,hie officials. Tomorrow the • de- bate on the Trade Treaties will be continued" Whinier British Columbia • Canadians who 11is east of the Great Lakes are, on the average, net sufficiently informed regarding mlany aspects, of the great West Coast Prov- ince of British Columbia, claims C. A. Allen Heeney 1n Canadian Business. They probably do not know that there Is a rising tide of public opinion in British Columbia which is becoming more stridently vocal. Those who are expressing it are convinced that this province is trading with Eastern Canada on an unsound basis. There are many Easterners who sell into British Columbia and find that selling very profitable, who will glance quickly at the opening para- graph of this article and say, "Poof! that's nothing newt --we always have to expect back -talk from the Western frontiers of a young nation like Canada." However, before leap- ing to any such conclusion., it might be well to have stressed some of the factors which give rise to Western opinion and visualize what British! Co- lumbia's economic status is and how they get that way. In the first place, British Columbia. has a decided character in its econ- omics and its thinking that is peenl- iorly its own. It is an isolated unit. It.s eastern boundaries are walled off from the rest of Canada by the gar- gantua.n Rocky Mountains. The Prai- ries ere like an ocean separating this wall from the Canadian East. On the north is the Atnerican territory of Alaska, • the Yukon Territory and tl- limitabie wastes. Its western boun- dary o'verlooke the Pacific Ocean w+hicb includes the Panama Canal, Australia, New Zealand, the Orient and the other approanh'q to water- borne commerce and Contact.

The Easterner, on the faee of it may be right; and if the clear�think izsg Westerner. tieing in Britisdn 'tunable, could be satisfied that MI state of affairs would. go on indefi itely;, he might be only too ready t agree.

Next, tha the bulk of such expenditures` Lean the province instead of building local industry. Most vital of all, h is becoming afraid that his source income is uncertain and liable to d up. Economic nationalism means littl to British Columbia. This is a brut fact which Western business leade —.notably Mr. H. R. MacMillan., president of the Vancouver Board Trade—are driving home more more to their lestenere. Like a Gae' ar, Mr. MacMillan has raised his vole on the Pacific Coast- to exclaim t the business army, warning Ahern t "lift up your eyes!—not to the 'hili but beyond the Seas, whence comet, our strength." In other words, h forcibly .points out that British Ca - tumble is almost entirely depend far its economic survival, and eve physical protection, upon trade rely tions beyond its borders and that, on analysis, this does not include the rest of Canada. ' A senior member of the British Co- lumbia legislature recently stated that British Columbia has traded with the East of Canada unsoundly ever since it entered Confederation. He declar- ed that Eastern manufacturers gain an unfair advantage from a high pro- tective tariff, forcing British Colum- bians to pay prices, not only beyond their means, but absurdly high in re- lation to those prevailing in the Unit- ed States and elsewhere. For example, British Columbia bought, last year, $.11,500,000 worth of automobiles•—a truly wonderful buying power. But these same buy- ers did so in bitterness -when they knew, only too well, of the huge ex- cess in costs they were dividing in the spread of prices to them. This was particularly hard -to take in good grace when they realized, at the same time ,'that the lumber industry which supplied the backbone of their auto- mobile dollars could not sell the peo- ple of the East enough lumber to pay the interest on the amount represent- ed. In a nutshell, British Oolumbia de- pends for income on exports w.h•ioh are sold in the open competition of world markets, but must live and buy n a protected market. Her people cannot buy requirements as comipeti- ively as they geld. Let us examine again how this is so. British Columbia industry is nar- y all primary production, and one -hick provides supplies and performs ervices for primary workers. This tirnary production is made up, al- most exclusively, of lumber, minerals, ulp, fish and apples. What happens o thes? In flintier products, -85 per ent are sold outside the province. In he cutting of doors, for example, •hich is becoming an important part f the B. C. !umber industry, only 3 or cent of the total production is old in Canada. Of the base metals, omprising the substantial figure of 14,000,000, British Columbia sells it 11 outside of the province and not ne dollar's worth to the rest of Can- na. Practically 98 per cent of the sh products are shipped outside pro- rnc•ial borders with the whole of the )omininn buying less than 25 per ent. Only 2 per cent of B. C.'s pulp s bought with Canadian dollars, and ndy 7 per eent of its newsprint. pro- uclion. Finally, 90 per cent. of Bri- sh Columbia's apple: are exported. Although the foregoing is probably et new to readers of Canadian Busi- ess, nevertheless, they can stand re- itition in print in any attempt to emir,'. them of a, condition efectin;a 1, !neset.tr,t part of Canada, which, turn, affects Canadian unity o,f ought and trade. Western opinion in British (Aluni- ia particularly, is new met'r:iug on re knowledge that the daily life of ae t•eeple in this section of Canada more affected by conditions outside f Canada than within the Dominion. ritisb Columbia's adverse balance of axle with the rest of Canada is con- ervatively estimated to be some $5),- 00,000. This province spends about 80,000,000 with Canada, mostly for bricated goods made in Eastern stories. it only sells to the rest of anada about $30,000,000. This huge xcess of purahnses is only made pee- •ble by its ss reat Britain, Asi ries. It is obvious from the foregoing tat British Columbians are an extra• rdin.ary vital people doing a wonder - 1 job of earning and spending% riot ke all good business men they are n©lysing their affairs ami looking to to future.

They see they have erect - d a 'high -standard• of living due la e tremendous per capita volume of ese exports, and the generous wage cafe they have maintained. They re- lize that they have erected a vast nil costly government and social ad. inistration for a comparatively mall population. Now they are moor- ed.

It is only natural, that with the sales of their products becoming fraught with the difficulties from open competition and international instability, that these Western Canadians are reminding themselves of their handicaps at home. They are determined to make every effort to maintain their high standard of living. Business leaders are taking an ever greater interest. in the economical administration of pub- lic affairs. They are developingtheir mines. Nevertheless, they now feel the time has come to make a con- certed effort to point out to the rest of Canada who sells them such a huge bill of goods each year, the facts of their position. They want Eastern Canadians to realize definitely that British Columbiana, regardless of their productive capacity and superb salesmanship, cannot afford to go on s'eiling in the cheapest market and buying in the dearest one. They re- alize that their trading is out of kil- ter. They export too much of their raw resources and, do not finish en- ough consumer ,goode. , They are not patronizing sufficiently the markets they sell most, and are buying too much from those to whom they sell least. In order to survive, they know they must keep costs down. Therefore, you cannot, blame them for their re- sentment against high freight rates over Western lines, and the price's they have to pay for nearly all their requirements in manufactured goods. There is an ever-growing and vigor- ous public opinion at work on Oan- ada's Pacific border to which Feast - eaters and Ottawa must lend an un- derstanding ear. To ignore it will do much damage to Canadian unity of thought and aetionv Lt will cause in- dustrial dislocation, and hardship. It wila affect Canada's credit and pres- tige. Eastern Canada must have the good will of its compatriots in the - Par West. Such goodwill cannot 1m ac- complished passively or Complacently.. It calls for definite ackn]edgrnent ofits necessity together with an ac- tive desire to do something about a situation that is in need of sympa- thetic .understanding and adjustment by every means possible. British Columbians are intelligent and capable. They have no wish to become revolutionaries. They are not stupid moralists who mik have things different now, because they ought to be. They are prepared to accept the evolutionary doctrine which tells them that the process of growth and the aohievement of balance ]ices in the movement of time. Yet there must be developed a mediator to apart the economic gulf between the East and the Weet in Canada. That medi- ator can be a united public opinion. neither East nor West, which will work to bring about that balance without which there`•can be no indi- vidual or national health. eer ei, Sales Boos are the best Counter Check Books made in Canada.
