HAMILTON SPEAKER AT CLINTON; HURON PRESBYTERY YOUTH RALLY More than 140 boys and leaders in Huron Presbytery gathered in their rally in Ontario St. United Church, Clinton.

With wit and humorous story, Mr. Carl- son won the hearts of the boys to a new understanding of what it means to be a Christian member of Scouts. Cubs. Tyros, Signa -C, Trail Ranger or Tuxis. Later in .the evening. Mr. Camer- on Hill. of Palmerston and Water- loo, Premier of the Ontario Older Boys' Parliament. addressed the rally. He brought greetings from the various boys organizations of the church and of the province. He welcomed the boys to consider the opportunity of being elected by their home constituency to the Old- er Boys' Parliament. which meets in the Parliament Buildings, To- ronto. during Christmas vacation. Challenging the boys to make the most of their young lives, he urg- ed them to strengthen their groups in every church and thereby pre- pare to battle against sin and evil in its many rampant forms around us. Exeter boys won the ovation for having twenty-five in attendance, with Seaforth lads in second place with twenty-three .present. Rev. John Stinson. expressed the grati- tude to all who had given assist- ance and help to making the rally, the first boys' rally in Huron for many years. a glowing memory and a fine success. (Continued from Page 2) generally buy suitable mixed soil from seed dealers and multiple stores. Pieces of broken crockery, small flat stones, or small pieces of coal are placed in the bottom of the pots for drainage. Sufficient soil is then placed in the pot to allow a thin covering on the bulb after planting. depending on its size. The bulb is pressed firmly in the soil with the base down. A thor- ough watering is given and the pots 'containing the planted bulbs are placed in a cool basement room—darkness is not essential. The bulbs remain in cool storage (38 degrees F. to 45 degrees F. is desirable) for at least 10 weeks. At no time is the soil in the pots allowed to become dry but it is watered only as often as neces- sary to keep the soil reasonably moist. The bulbs are kept in cool storage in order to develop a strong root system. As soon as the roots are well developed the bulbs are placed in a part of the basement that is a little warmer than the storage. By the time the shoots have reached a height of four inch- es, they can be placed in windows. The soil is kept moist at all times. Often it is necessary to water daily when the plants have heavy foli- age or the room is warm. Some of the better varieties test- ed at the Experimental Farm are: Hyacinths King of Blues, Pink Pearl, La Victoire and L'Innocence; Narcissus: Actea, Insulinde and Twink; Daffodils: Golden Harvest, King Alfred, Spring Glory and For- tune; Early Tulips: Bellona, Miss Ellen Moore. Couleur Cardinal El- ectra and Murillo; Darwin Tulips: Cordell Hull. Insurpassable and Wm. Pitt; Double Lafte Tulips: Eros; Mendel Tulips: Her Grace, and Krelag's Triumph; Parrot Tul- ips: Allard Pierson and Red Cham- pion. i"...,..,a t14M LIVERPOOL.—We never knew we had so many friends in Eastern Canada until shortly before we set out. on the first leg •of our journey, from Toronto to Montreal. Perhaps I should explain that by "we" I mean our party of five: Joe Tran, who won the 1954 Cana- dian plowing championship at Bal- lantrae, Ont.; Ivan McLaughlin, who also qualified for the trip by finishing second; Mrs. McLaugh- lin, Mrs. Barrie, and myself, who was lucky enough to be appointed team manager. The first indication was a most enjoyable luncheon given for us by Imperial Oil, which was spon- soring the team's trip to the World Plowing Match. The luncheon was held in Toronto, and we met many friends there, new and old. Next, at Union Station, we met been on an ocean liner before. a party of York County Council the crew pointing excitedly to a man who was swimming in the water beside a boat anchored near by. We were told he had jumped out of a window more than forty feet above the water. After swim- ming around for a while, he climb- ed a rope laddes thrown him by some sailors on the boat. But no sooner was 'he on the boat than he dived in again. We figured there must have been some easier way for him to sober up! On returning to our cabin I was pleased to receive a telegram from one of our popular OPA directors, Robert Campbell, wishing our team every success in Sweden. The first day on the Empress was quite an .event 'for the whole party because, with the exception of J. D. Thomas, none of us had Joe Tran Ivan McLaughlin members and their wives, who were just returning from a Cana- dian Good Reads Association con- vention at Banff. One of my plow- men, Ivan McLaughlin, who is reeve of Whitchurch and a mem- ber of the county council, of course knew them all. Many Relatives But the most surprising encoun- ters we had came after we were on our way to Montreal. We thought it would be an uneventful trip, but Joe Tran seemed to have at least one relative—and usually several —waiting at every stop on the way. We kidded Joe a lot about having so many relatives all over the country, but the boxes of choco- lates, cakes and other things they brought as gifts were most accept- able to the rest of us, as well as Joe. At Belleville, Mrs. Barrie and I got a special surprise, for we were greeted by our daughter and son and six other of our ' grandchil- dren. We arrived in Montreal and were half way to the dock to catch the Empress of Scotland, when J. D. Thomas, who was making the trip as president of the World Plowing Organization, missed his can and declared he had left it in the sta- tion. We had one of our taxis turn back, and after I bad searched all over the railway station for the cane, Mr. Thomas found he had been sitting on it all the time! Tour Ship Aboard ship, Ivan, Joe and I left the ladies to handle the unpacking in the cabins and we began a tour of the vessel. Suddenly we saw a number of Brucefield Lodge Installs Hensall I.O.O.F. Officers Past District Deputy Fred Boyce and his installing team from Bruce - field installed the following officers of Hensall I.O.O.F. Lodge 223, in the lodge rooms on Tuesday even- ing, Nov. 1st: Junior Past Grand, Wilmer Jones; Noble Grand, Harold Par- ker; Vice -'Grand, Milton Lowery;. recording secretary, Percy Camp- bell; financial secretary, P. L. Mc- Naughton; treasurer, Ed. Munn; warden, Charles Hay; conductor, Tom Meyers; chaplain.

Cor- bett; right supporter of vice grand, Edwin Taylor; left supporter of vice grand, Bill Colefnan; left scene supporter, Joe Flynn; right scene supporter, Ernie Chipchase. Sparks: "What do you mean by teling around that I am deaf and dumb?" Marks: "It is not so. I never said that you were deaf." Vs,bii:ie.,zn0f,j�t a.l tl Narrow Squeak The weather was pleasantly warm, and the coloring of the maples on .the river banks was marvellous. As the ship steamed under the bridge at Quebec, the crowd on the top deck held its breath because it looked as if the mast and funnels would be swept off. But we sailed through, all right,_'with what looked to be only a fook pr two. ,clearawe,,.to snare. On the 'second day we awoke to find the waves splashing high over the decks and the passengers walk- ing around like drunken sailors The water in the ship's swimming pool splashed over the sides and sometimes even spattered the ceil- ing. We decided to postpone our early morning dip, although one bathing beauty seemed to be en- joying herself in rough water. Many passengers turned up for breakfast but left in a hurry for the rail. That was the morning I discovered I could still run a hun- dred yards in 11 seconds flat! The third and fourth days out were even worse, and we figured Hurrican Ione must be following us across the ocean. Special Treat It was not until the fifth day that we were back to normal and able to take our meals. By this time most of. the officers and first-class passengers knew the purpose of our trip, and at dinner that eve- ning, we were served Baked Alas- ka, a special ice cream treat not shared by the other passengers. Later that evening the captain gave a party which, I'm sorry to say, ended with a minor disaster. Just when the party got into full swing, the ship lbrched violently to the port side, and the 25 couples who were dancing at the time lost their balance and slid to one side of the room. When order was re- stored, a lady from New Zealand was found to be unconscious, and several other people were badly shaken up and bruised. The following day, a Sunday, we attended shipboard church services and saw a movie that night. Sleeping Warrior The trip up the Clyde the next day was by far the most pleasant part of the ocean journey. Such places as Ailsa Craig or Paddy's Peak—that mountain of solid gran- ite which is the source of curling stories used throughout the world —came to view on the south bank of the Clyde. The Sleeping War- rior, a row of hills resembling an armoured warrior lying on the ground, made a splendid back- ground for some pictures we took on deck. At Greenock we saw a number of foreign freighters anchored in midstream and Mrs. Barrie and I remembered it was from south of there—at Ayrshire—that our an- cestors had come to Canada 125 years before. Our ancestors, of course, made the trip in a sailing vessel, and I'm told it took them six weeks, dur- ing which they suffered all sorts of privations and discomforts. And there we were, after making the same journey—but in the opposite direction -in one week, with all the comforts of a modern hotel—even if the "hotel" did heave and rock considerably at times. Soon, we were preparing to dis- embark at Liverpool to begin the third leg of the journey, to Lon• don. Needless to say, both Joe and Ivan were pleased at the pros- pect of getting their feet onto solid ground again.' NEXT WEEK --Our flight to Swe- den... • Hensalitegton`. Holds Nominations Mrs. D.
