The roll call was answered by each member bring- ing an item of news or a picture of a Women's Institute officer, past or present, to be placed in the Tweedsmuir. book. Mrs. F. A. Harrison gave the motto. The topic was ‘"The report on the Tweedsmuir Book," and was giv- en by Mrs. Alex Mann, who has spent much time in compiling the book. Many interesting pictures and stories of the early days in the Moncrieff district are included in the book. The firdt settlers in the com- munity were two brothers, Hart- well and Luke Speiran, about the year 1850. The first log school was built in 1872. The first store at Moncrieff was built by a widow with two small children in the 1890's. Moncrieff was named' after a town in Scotland. The old Mon- crieff post office was originally in a home in the community, but was later in the store. The church played a vital role in the com- munity. There were several saw- s in the district at this time. heme of the meeting was his- torical research. Each member named her Sunshine sister. The February meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. William Robert- son. Lunch was served. Twenty-seven per cent of Canadian family units spend more than $100 a year on health care. Be thrifty!

Corn, soya beans and many oth- er farm products which can be prodUced south of the line cannot be prquced in great quantities north of the line. The farmer there depends upon oats, barley and pasture to finish his livestock and grows wheat almost entirely for his cereal cash erop. Without a market for wheat, he is in great difficulty. Any policy can be de- veloped to bring wheat to the mar- kets of the world in a way mutual, ly beneficial to those north and south of the line, and at the same time acknowledes that wheat is the food of the working -man will help promote world welfare and peace. High Egg Quality Egg quality is affected by here- dity as well as the feeding and environment during production ev- en though- the major cause of poor quality eggs on the consumer table says T. M. MacIntyre, Senior Poul- try Husbandman, Canada Experi- mental Farm, Nappan, N.S., is poor handling practices after the egg is produced. The breeding behind a flock is an important factor in determin- ing the quality of eggs at the time they are laid. Fortunately both the shell and interior egg quality can •be improved by selective breeding, and by elmination from the flock of birds producing poor quality eggs. Feed is the most important fac- tor affecting egg quality during production. Variations in t h e quality of feed results in varia- tions in egg quality. Work conduct- ed at Nappan has shownthat feeds high in oils are particularly ob- jectionable since the oily taste of the feed is frequently imparted to the egg. Excess feeding of fishl liver oil may result in eggs with' a fishy taste. Other quality fac- tors such as albumen height, yolk color and, blood and meat spots, are also affected by the feed. The color of the yolk can be varied from light to dark, depending on the amount of pigment in the ra- tion. A large quantity of corn or cereal grass in the rationwill re- sult in dark colored yolks. The environment of the laying hen is invariably reflected in egg quality. Hens kept in clean sur- roundings with lots of fresh air, water and good feed, will produce eggs of better quality than hens kept in a dirty environment, lack- ing clean water and forced to forage for their food. The con- sumption of dirty, decaying food is reflected in poor quality and off - flavor eggs. Most poor quality eggs produced as a result of poor breeding and feeding are removed in the grad- ing and candling process. Poor quality eggs reaching the consum- er's table are generally the result of poor handling after the eggs are produced. Failure to cool eggs properly and keep them under re- frigeration is the major cause of loss of quality from the nest to the table. Eggs held in an unfav- orable environment tend to become watery, with soft spreading albu- men, flat yolks and stale odors. There's No Place Like Home A hen pheasant, owned by Ir- vine Bowes, of Blyth, heeded the call of the ild last Sunday, and while Irvine was moving his flock of seven birds from onepen to another, the pheasant broke loose and took to the wing. She is quite a valuable bird and Irvine feared that she was gone for good. He removed the remainder of the birds from the pen and hopefully left the door ajar. Sure enotrgh the wandering pheasant returned home, and is once again in the confines of her regular abode. Last Sunday's weath would eliminate the wanderlust from anybody's veins. At least Biddy Pheasant knew when she was well off.— Blyth Standard. District Group Has Kitchener Meeting An enthusiastic audience of 605 at the semi-annual circuit conven- tion of Jehovah's Witnesses heard Mr. C. E. Hepworth, of the Watch- tower Society, deliver his featured address, "Does God Really Care?" on Sunday afternoon at the Kit- chener -Waterloo Collegiate audi- torium. The audience,' made up of visit- ing delegates from Galt, Mitchell, Elmira, Stratford, Goderich and a group of 20 from Clintrn. listen- ed attentively as Mr. Hepworth produced abundant Bible evidence that God does care for man. "God has provided for man's necessities upon an earth which He will not burn up, but which His inspired Word says will abide forever as man's home under Christ's King- dom," the speaker said. "It is man who does not care for God as evidenced by his indifference to the Bible and the fact that the F.B.I.'s 1954 statistics reveal that crime outstrips the population -increase"' by 4 to 1. Increased lawlessness is only one of at least 39 happen- ings the Bible foretells as the sign of the near end of this system of things and Christ's incoming Kingdom of peace and righteous- ness. In the interests of people who do care for God. Jehovah's witnesses carry on their minister- ial activity world-wide," Mr. Hep- worth said. On Saturday evening 537 assem- bled to see the Watchtower So- ciety's educational film, "New World Society in Action," which outlined the Witnesses' activities in 159 countries and their phen- omenal increase from 70,000 in 1940 to 580,429 Kingdom proelaim- ers in 1954. A highlight of the Saturday pro- gram was the baptismal service with 18 symbolizing their dedica- tion to do Jehovah God's will. Among these were two from Olin- ton congregation.. da.,.A4 a 4u.um uk v,X51✓i15 „ix2'�mtm,iMdt:tv�tn The Canadian Pacific's answer for travellers wanting snacks and lower-priced meals on trains is coffee shop section shown above of new scenic dome coaches now going into 'ser- vice on transcontinental trains.

Members of her family were all present, in- cluding Mrs. Edward (Louise) Wurdell, George Siemon, William Siemon and John Siemon.

Overgrazing Means Less Grass Proper stocking rates for native grass pastures are essential to continued high yields. Grazing too heavily results in a reduction in vigor of the high yielding pal- atable grasses, followed by their deterioration. As the palatable grasses are reduced, they are re- plan ways and means of raising money for the coming year. A short program consisted of, a spelling match, conducted by Mrs. James McNaughton; reading by Mrs. Ross Chapman; contest by Mrs. Gordon Elliott. The hostess served tea and the ladies brought, their own lunch in a pail or bas- ket—school fashion. placed by unpalatable grasses and weeds. A study conducted by the Pas- ture Division, Experimental Sta- tion, Swift Current, illustrates the decline in productivity of the high yielding grasses when heavily grazed. In three heavily grazed fields, reductions in yields of 28, 39 and 55 per cent occurred. The average potential grass yield was reduced from 887 to 514 pounds per acre. If native grass pastures are to remain productive,( the palatable grasses must be allowed to produce seed. Native grass pastures should be stocked at rates which ensure their continued productivity. It is necessary to leave about half of the average annual production un- eaten, to keep these grasses .heal- thy. Healthy grass is more pro- ductive, The saying, "eat half and leave half, and the half you leave will get bigger and bigger," is a good guide to the proper use of native grass pastures. • St. Peter's Church At Brodhagen Reviews.
