A NUMBER of ancient English
churches are replacing their
equally ancient roofs with alumi-
num. One of these is the Chapel
of St. James in the village of
Nether Warton, Oxfordshire. Its
lead roof, originally laid in 1665,
brought -4478 as scrap -- enough
to pay the whole cost of in -stalling
the new' roof.
It is a neat example of how,
while most metals have been get-

centuries, the cost til' aluminum

To the Editor
Toronto, June 30, 1953.
Editor,- The ,Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: Your leading editorial
(Temporary . Evils) dealing with
British -Canadian commercial rela-
tions was a dandy; is decidedly
timely and worthwhile getting on-
to the record, From my angle, the
following few lines from the above
verbal scene are admirable and
merit the attention of all concern-
ed. Most Canadians are:
"As Mr, Howe (Canada's
'rrade Minister) says, it is en-
couraging that these restric-
tions are universally recogniz-
ed as nothing better than nec-
essary evils, and that they will
ultimately be removed. In the
meantime, Canada is ready and
willing to buy British goods.
No country in the world has
fewer quantitative restrictions
on trade or with lower rates of
duty."
It seems to this reader that the
above is the appropriate note for
a businessman to strike. As you
nicely put the natter, "the Mini --
ter of Trade is, above all, a man
of business."
My intuition makes it reasonably
clear that the currency problem—I

bert Township School Area, pear

age of nine or so children within
its precincts.
Ae a result, SS. 1, ,Hibbert, which
has been closed for'the past seven
or eight years, owing to scarcity
of children, will open its doors
was going to term it a 'muddle' but,
probably, 'inconvertibility' is the
more accurate description—is the
chief obstacle to be hurdled, or re-
moved from the North Atlantic
trade stream, as between British
and Canadian ports.
Naturally, 1 haven't the foggiest
idea of the basic technique to at-
tain this aim. If I had, I would•,not
be long on the farm. But I confess
•being a .bit disappointed ata the
apparent inability of our brightest
flueneia] brains (on both sides of
the Atlantic) to devise a practic-
able mechanism for the removal of
this currency obstacle, which is do-
ing 'such obvious damage to the
normal trade channels, and seems
to play so directly into -the hands
oethe police states and' the poten-
tial enemies of freedom,
Unfortunately, our Tory friends—
notably the opposition leader, Mr.
Drew—can be •relied upon to use
the inconvertibility problem as a
political weapon, in their desperate
hunger for administrative ,control;
though I have the distinct impres-
sion that they have as much idea
of a solution as I have, with the
sky the only limitation on promis-
es 'high, wide and handsome.'

past three years, since the area
was formed and Earl Roney was

children requiring such service, in-
cluding those `formerly attending
S.S. 2, Hibbert, Logan and McKi1-

the pupils being transported to
Dublin and Mitchell public schools.

zard. Josiah lzzard, who was a
stonemason, was the last to live in
it. It was later owned by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Allan MacDougald. In
1942 the ,building was torn down
and the land was sold to Herb
Mahaffy. John M. McKie, teacher
at No. 5 School, Jimmy King and'
Dan Feeney all lived in Hamilton's
old log house, which is still stand-
ing, near the brick house and the
barn which were built by Robert
Livingston after he bought the
farm. Livingston was assisted .with
the farm work by his son, Richard,
till he died suddenly from an
asthmatic condition in 1897. After
this the parents left the farm and
went to Kirkton to live.
