CKNX Donates
Scholarships
True to their traalttion of catering
to the Ontario farmer and promoting
a better understanding of agricul-
ture. W. T. Cruickshank, manager of
Radio Station CKNX at Wingham has
announced a system of scholarships
by means of which some farmer's
son in both Huron 'and Bruce coun-
ties will be able to take a course :n
agriculture at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College at Guelph this fall.
Mr. Cruickshank realizes that one
of the present problems of agrictul-
lure is a proper understanding of
getting tihe most from the land with-
out destroying its best growing prop-
erties, thus a scientific knowledge of
practica1 farming is necessary.
Briefly the 'plan is this: Any young
mart residing in Bruce and Huron,
Counties is eligible to register for
the CKNX sicho'larships:• He will reg-
ister with h.ie, Agricultural Represent-
ative at Clinton, James C. Shearer,
d15.S-A,, or with George R. Gear, B.S.
A., at Walkerton. The scholarship is
for the period of one year and selec-
tion will be made late in August or
early September, giving ample time
to register at the college. In the case
of. registrations. in, Bruce County, the
dial selection, will rest with Agricul-
tunad Representative George R. Gear,
Warden Wellington S. Fenton:, and
W. T. Cruickshank. In Huron Coun-
ty the choice will remain with. Agri-
cultural Representative James C.
Shearer, Warden R. E. Turner and
W. T. Cruickshank.
I uH parttictalars/may be obtained
from the agricultural offices in either
B ruce or Huron. There. are he
strings attached to the scholarships;
,they have been tnaugarated solely for
the purpose of improving a lculture
and providing the opporturvity of sci-
entific study.

Rush,. Alterations on Bell
Telephone Common
Battery System.
Work is progressing rapidly in pre-
paration for °hanging Seaforth's tele-
phone system from the magneto to
the common battery method of oper-
ation, and is now in the final stage„
according to J. 'M. McIntosh, manager
in this vicinity for The Bell Tele-
phone Company of Canada. It is ex-
pected that the cutover, which, will
eliminate the necessity of using the
crank attachment to signal the oper-
ator, will take place in about a
month, probably on, Sept. 20th.
The new switchboard, one of the
latest products of the Northern Elec-
tric Company, is now being installed
in the company's premises on Main
Street by a crew of experts. Repairs
and alterations to the interior of the
office are also being carried out at
the present time wader the direction
of IL Edge, who was awarded the
contract for this work .and for the
construction of a new front to the
• building.'
The work has alio ''involved the
modification of subscribers' telephone
instruments, the termination of a 600 -
pair underground cable on the new
distributing frame, and the rearrange-
ment arca rebuilding of much of the
com•pany's outside facilities through,
out the town. W`h:ile some of this
work has not been completed yet, it
is expected that it will be finished
before the cutover date.

RECEIVE EVERY
COURTESY ON TRIP
Something new in the way 'of holi-
days was the trip which Alistair Wigg
and Keith Sharpe, members of the
Seaforth Scout Troop, took Last week.
III the week -in which they were away
from town the boys travelled ilearly
1,800 miles. One of their chief im-
pressions of the trip was the never -
failing courtesy of motorists, and
others throughout the entire distance.
" Alistair Wigg recalls many of the
interesting features of the holiday in
the following story:
Early in the spring we began to
.plain for a vacation lin the North, but
notching definite was done until sev-
eral weeks ago. Then we definitely
decided that we would start north on
Sunday,' August lath. As we were to
carry everything on our backs., our
biggest tmouble was to eliminate ev-
. erytbfing that wass not absolutely es-
sential. Finally we, each had two
haversacks that gave us a load, of
about 50 pounds each. Wearing our
Boy Scout uniforms, we each took a
windbreaker, a sweater, extra shoes,
socks and pants, two blankets, a
groumds'heet and a small pup tent.
The only food we carried was tea,
coffee, sugar and salt and a frying
Pan and Smell pail to nook in. Our
eating utensils consisted of a pie -
plate, granite cup, knife, fork and
spoon. This -practically made up our
load, except for a first-aid kit and a
few other small articles.
We left Seaforth about 9 a.m. Sun-
day miorning and by the time we had
reached the Lions swimming pool we
accused each other of putting rocks
in the haversacks. We began to won-
der then if penhaps we could do with-
out the tents and blankets, but luck-
ily a car stopped and gave us a lift
on the first leg of the journey. Traf-
fic was not very heavy, but we arriv-
ed in Kitchener about 11 o'clock and
diad to walk through to the other side.
We carried our lunch with us for
the first day and we ate both dinner
and supper for dinner, as we were
very hungry, We arrived in Toronto
about three o'clock and took a street
car through the city until we hit the
1 ergusion Highway leading north.
From here on our luck began to
change for the better and we landed
in Gravenhurst Sunday evening. We
asked where we could pitch our teat
for the night and, were sent to the
local Scoutmaster. We received a
very hearty welcome and were taken
in and'a hot supper passed under our
belts. Tliat night we spent in con-
versation with the Scout Leaders of

Dublin Man is
Hit -Run Victim
Gerald Jordan, 32, now of Ailsa
Craig, but whose home is in Dublin,
was th•e 'victim of a hit-and-run
motorist early Thursday morning on
No. 7 Highway, west of Elginfield.
He is" confined to Victoria Hospital,
London, with a fractured left leg,
a foot badly cut and shock, as a •e-
sult. Mr. Jordan, who is employed on
the railway at Ailsa Craig, was walk-
ing home when the accident occ'ir-
red. He was thrown some fifty feet
and was later found by two Parkhill
motorists suffering from shock, as
well as the leg injuries. While they
were still standing there investigat-
ing the man lying on the pavement,
another car drove up containing five
men, whom, police believe, occupied
the same car as that which struck
Jordan. . They drove on to tihe next
sideroad, later turning back, and
climbed out of the Car, tried to make
the man walk, saying that he was
not burt. The two Parkhill men
were first accused of striking him be-
fore they accused Jordon of pretend-
ing he had been ;hurt. Promising to
phone a doctor and police they drove
off but when the Parkhill men waited
for a time they 'decided' to take mat-
ters into their own hands and phoned
for help. Police that evening arrest-
ed William J. Goddard, 60, of Den-
field, R. R. 4, as the driver of the
car which struck the yotmg man, and
he faced a reckless driving charge.
No charges 'have been laid against his
companions.

when -F: Sills kicked the ball i front
of the goal. Seaforth came • . ck on-
ly to hit the bar at the top of the
goal and when F. Sills f allowed in
he kicked the ball past the goal. The
boys tried again only to have Mes-
senger kick Ayer the goal post. •

played to'a one all tie in Brussels on
Tuesday night before a large group
of spectators.
Brussels had the best of play the
majority of the game and except for
the brilliant work of Bell in the Sea -
forth net the score might have been
different. -Seaforth was without four
of their regular players. The first
goal wd.s scored at the 22 minute
mark when J. Holland took a foul
kick, passing to H. Nicholson, in front
of the goal, who kicked it in.
Brussels came back in the early
part of the second ieef to tie the
score, when Fox took a corner kick
placing the ball in front of the goal
when Farquarson kicked it in.
:The field was smaller than the reg-
ulation size and was greasy through-
out the game. Seaforth was minus
four of their regular men, Frank and
Tom Sills, A. Nicholsop, who ie out

friends and neighbors, have gathered
here tonight.' We shall endeavor to
be different. Since your time with
us is drawing short before you enter
on that noble calling, we have taken
this opportunity of wishing you the
very best of luck. We are also very
glad to know that we will be having
a nurse in our midst to whom we
oan turn (in our harder times). We
ask you to accept this gift as a smali
personal reminder of your Hen-sa.i1
School Pais," An added feature of
the afternoon was the presentation of
"Scotties" to Verna MacLean, who
was celebrating her birthday.
