ard, the largest apple orchard in Hur-
on county, informative addresses on
orchard cultivation, and sports for
young and old, formied the- program

several outstanding men of the coun-
ty. Games of chance, played at
booths set up for the. occasion, and
dancing in one of the large un•o•ccu-
pied apple sheds Zvelie enjoyed in the

Tushing business as the picnickers
tried to quench their thirst, stimulat-
ed by the heat of the day.

of Sloancrest Farm, who had gener-
ously given the use of the 'estate, to

M. P. .Comes From Ottawa
L. E. Cardiff, M.P. for North Hur-
on, who had travelled from Ottawa
espet'ially to attend the picnic, colt-
eludedthe addresses. Mr. Cardiff
con'gratulated Mr. and Mrs, 'Smith up-
on layigg the foundation of the pic-
nic's success by throwing open their
glbunds. Last year's picnic had im-
pressed 'him so. much,. Mr. Giardiff
stated, that 'lie' shad made it a point
to attend this year. He was of the
opinion that Huron had little to wor-
ry about in the matter of consump-
tion of its 'surplus fdtlit crop, .as a
drive is now under way to get the
Government to take surplus fruit
from the Ontario farmers and distri-
bute it in Western Canada, where it
is badly needed. Mr.. Cardiff gave a
few of the -highlights of a recent
trip Ito. Halifax which he enjoyed a-
long with fifty other members of par-
liament. The sight of 3,000 sailors
on' parade'-v'netat: Halifax harbor was
to him one. of 'the most impressive
spectacle's 'he had ever seen. Mr. Car-
diff told of being taken to the har-
bor and shown in detail the -harbo'r's
defences against enemy submarines.
He told also 'of his impressions when
taken to sea aboard -a -naval veedel
and shown how the ship's big guns
operate -in action. In concluding Mr.
Cardiff wished 'the association the
greatest degree of success in the fu-
ture. •
A -sheet • •program..,of singing _ and.
dancing, given by several of the coun-
ty's talented artists, was enjoyed are
ter the addresses,
Address on Orchard ,Control
The insp'eoti',on 'of the Sloancrest
apple orchard; which took place the,
first thing- in the afternoon, was fol-
lowed by an address by Professor J.
b., Hewitt, of Guelph Agricultural Col-
lege', who spoke on the proper meth-
ods of orchard spraying, insect con-
trol -and control .of fungus -diseases.
Prof.. Howitt also answered several
questions, concerning the nature and
control of various fruit dis'ease's. Tech-
nic.o:ore'd moving pictures, , showing
the way in which insects, are studied
for experimental purposes, were
shown in a large empty fruit shed,
with Mayor Gordon Blair .ef._.B.urling-
'ton, who had-. taken tile pictures, giv-
ing a running commentary. Various
fruit -destroying insects' were shown'
in the larva -and moth stages and
the methods of' deterin,ining the- de-
velopment -of worms in cdmparison
with 'the wather' -and the pswocess of
trapping the coddling moth by -a bait -
pail were demonstrated. Pictures tak-
en by Mr. Blair at last year's' picnic
we're.tshown much 'to the delight.,and
amusement' of the audience, who
would recognize first one and then
another companion.
.The races, held under large 'cool
trees on the .Sloancrest side lawn,
were supervised by -the directors of

the Association and young -and old
heartily joined in the fun. Tih'e re-

Buildings.
Goderioh 'and Huron; county build-
ing contractors, have been furnished
with plans add specifications for
proposed buildings at Sky Harbor air-
port, the letstianated cost of which is
$97,000. Tenders are td be called for
this work forthwith, the airport com-
mittee of the county council has been
'informed.
Likewise, buildings at the Port Al-
bert airport are to be built this year.
'The estimated cost,,lof these is $700,-
004 and tenders have been asked. for
as at S'ky' Harbor, but local 'contrac-
tors are said not to be figuring on
the work.
See Ottawa Authorities'
On Friday last a deputation com-
posed of Warden Georgie Feagan,
Reeve R. J. Bowman, chairman of
the Warden's Committee, and Deputy
Reeve Gilbert Frayne of the airport
committee of the county -council, vis-
ited Ottawa to see what"could be done
about 'having . the runways at Sky
Harbor .harddsurfaced and 'a perman-
ent (top applied to Highway 21, Dun-
lop to Port Albert, on which there
will be very heavy traffic with the
building of the airports'.
The deputation, introduced by Els-
ton Cardiff, M.P., and W. -H. Golding,
Huron's Patriotic action
The deputation was told that noth-
ing final tad been determined as to
the classification of, SkY 'Harbors At
present it was grout -Jed in "C" class
with other 'elementary training air-
ports, and this called for ,hod rum
ways. Mr. Wilson gave high praise
to Huron County for its patriotic aot
in •provid.g the Sky Harbor site, one
of few municipalities to take such
action,' and stated that tm'consideration,
was forthco'inig . because of that an-
gle. He said he would take up Hur-
on's request with the R.C.A.F, tech-
nical branch.
The paving of Highway 21, Dunlop
to Port Albert, IS, of course, a pro-
vincial matter, but Ottawa is prepar-
ed to co-operate with Huron County
in asking -tihe Ontario Department of
Highway's to do the jab at once as
an e1n'ergen,cy,, war measure. It is
likely that a deputation will go to
Toronto very soon to. press this .mat-
ter.
