Huron Juniors
Annual Service
At Exeter Church
"And a New Earth" was the
sermon topic Rev. H. J. Snell
chose to speak on when he ad-
dressed the Huron County Junior
Farmers at their ninth annual in-
terdenominational. church service,
held in James St. United Church,
Exeter, Sunday evening.
Looking back a number of years;
be pointed out how rural life has
changed tremendously, and today
we're not thankful that these
changes have come about. "A
New Earth" in the sense of being
entirely different, new is created
out of the death of the old, and
we don't have a new earth unless
we • are prepared to work for it.
Urging the young people to stay
on the farm, he said: "Far away
fields look green and the pastures
over the hills look the best. Don't
be afraid to stay on the farm. One
of the many great qualifications
of rural people is that they are
religious people," he stated. "There
are more rural people attending
church than those in the towns
and cities."
In closing, he stressed that new-
ness of life does not come without
struggle and prayer.
Huron County Junior Farmer
Choir led in the singing of the
hymns throughout the service and
sang two anthems, "Jesu, God In-
carnate" and ."i See,. God:"
Boyd Taylor, president of Hui;
on County Junior Farmers, gave
the call to worship,; and Miss Jean
Smith, vice-president of the Coun-
ty Junior Institute, led in the re-
sponsive reading. Bill Dougall,
vice-president of the Junior Farm-
ers, read the scripture lesson and
introduced the speaker, 1?Ir. Snell.
Miss Shirley McMichael, president
of the Junior Institute, led in
prayer.

As Directors Plan
For Fall Fair
In an impressive ceremony at
St. Patrick's Church, Dublin, hon-
ors were conferred on the graduat-
ing class of Dublin Continuation
School. the largest group in the
school's history.
A large congregation attended,
and the graduates were preceded
to their places at the front of the
church by the pupils of the school,
wearing their colors of purple and
gold, while the choir sang, "To
Christ, the Prince of Peace." The
fourteen graduates were in their
regulation gowns and mortar-
boards.
The guest speaker was a former
pupil of Dublin , Continuation School,
Rt. Rev. Thomas McQuaid, S.F.M.,
Superior General of Scarboro Mis-
sions, Toronto. After congratulat-
ing the pastor. Rev. Dr. F. J.
Ffoulkes, Rev. Father J. McCew-
ell, St. Columban, the graduates
and the Sisters. he symbolized
their present graduation as a Stop
Sign on the highway of life, show-
ing four or five green lights on
the same corner.
He also exhorted them to pray
for guidance as to which road in
life to follow. The greatest prayer
is that they each learn to know
God well, and to know themselves
welI.. "They that pray well, live
well." They owe a debt of grati-
tude to their parents, their pastor
and their teachers, and above all
they were exhorted to thank God
for the wonderful gift of the Cath-
olic faith, which he hoped they
would cherish throughout. their
lives.
Our way of life should be de-
veloped on Christian principles
and love of our neighbor, Father
McQuaid concluded by wishing
them success in their various vo-
cations.
Rev. Dr. Ffoulkes and Rev. J.
McDowell presented the respec-
tive diplomas to: Noreen Dalton,
Joan Dalton, Mary Cronin, Claire
Malone, Marie O'Connor, Cather-
ine Moylan, Shirley Horan, Rose-
mary Lane, Cleo Bowman, Mary
Shea, Roy McQuaid, Pat Ryan,
Don Moylan and Lou Murray.
Solemn Benediction concluded
the services with Rt. Rev. Thomas
McQuaid, S.F.M., assisted by Rev.
Dr. Ffoulkes and Rev. Father Mc -
Cowell.
As the graduates marched out
of the church, the High School
choir, accompanied by Mr. E. C.
Harley, on the organ, sang a Re-
cessional.
Motorists who followed fire
trucks -to the scene found them-
selves in a miniature traffic jam,
but few arrived in time to witness
either smoke or fire.
The co -discovers of the blaze, on
their way to an agricultural meet-
ing, were inspecting the fair build-
ing and noticed' smoke as they

two small boys running across the
fields away from the fire.

Salaries Won't Hilae Taxes
Mr. Talbot called attention to a
report published in another news-
paper that salary increases grant-
ed Seaforth public school teachers
would boost the mill rate. He said
this was untrue, because increased
provincial grants to the board cov-
ered the increase in pay. Any rise
in the public school levy is due to
an overly optimistic estimate of
fees from non-resident pupils.
Teaching aids, in the form of
movies and film strips, are used
regularly in the school, he said. A
library of 35 mm film strips on
educational subjects is being built

Good Year Coming, Says Plumsteel
"We're looking forward to a good.
year," Principal 1,. P. Plumsteel,
of Seaforth High, smiled confident-'
ly, in response to questions con-
cerning the 1957-58 school season.
A major factor contributing to
Mr. Plumsteel's optimism is, what
at first might appear to be a "get
tough" policy toward lazy students
in the next school year. This, he
is quick to point out, is not the
case at all.
Early this year, the SDHS board
approved a proposal by Mr. Plum-
steel that would require indiffer-
ent students over age 16 to either
come to life upon two weeks' no-
tice, or be suspended. .
This procedure, used with mark-
ed success in Calgary schools for
several years, works as follows:
If a student over 16 with consist-
ently low marks shows no effort
at all to improve his standings, a
conference of his teachers may
recommend, but only by unani-
mous vote, that . he be plaeed on.
probation.
Must S':ow Effort Or Leave
A letter is then sent his parents,
warning that the student must
show some effort to raise his acad-
emic standing during the two-week
probation period, or be suspended
by the principal.
Upon recommendation by both '
principal and teachers concerned,
the board could expell a student
who failed to comply, Former pol-
• icy was to suspend and expell only

Plumsteel has reserved its use un-
til next year. "We feel it is most
effective at the beginning of the
school year," he said.

ORANGEMEN AT EGMONDVILLE
HEAR CHALLENGING SERMON
Representing Orange lodges in
South Huron, about 80 Orangemen
attended the annual South Huron
Orange church parade at Egmond-
ville United Church.
The Orangemen marched from
Victoria Park in Seaforth to the
Church, to the music of Murphy
U.O.L. 710 and drum band from
Clinton.
County Marshal, Bill Mcllwain,
Bayfield, was in charge of the
parade. Ken Betties, Winthrop,
the County Master spoke briefly
in Victoria Park atter the church
service.
The sermon, "What Does It
Mean To Be An Orangeman?" was
delivered by Dr. J. Semple. It
concerned the Orange Order as a
Protestant organization. He said,
in part:
"Some seem to have the idea an
Orangeman• is one who curses the
Roman Church with grntaprofan-
ity; a man who attends ch cit the
Sunday , before July 12. Others

coming quarre'isome,.
all of them to the students.
Benefit Good Students
Removal of the few persons who
have no desire to learn would al-
low teachers time to present good
students with interesting, challeng-
ing work.
Too often, he said, the bright
students are forgotten because
their steady work demands no
immediate attention. Meanwhile,
much effort is lavished on those
who consistently refuse to com-
plete assignments and neglect
homework.
Often some years older than
their classmates, these persons set
a bad example and encourage •oth-
ers in their poor work habits.
Mr. Plumsteel has concluded, as
have other principals, that the
school's greatest interest lies in
encouraging good scholars, not in
fighting indifference.
Actually, the number of students
whose academic life is endangered
by the measure is very small. IVIr.
Plumsteel felt only a dozen of 300
students were liable to be warned,
and still less ousted.
Teachers Are Allies
"We mean to give a student ev-
ery opportunity to show his will-
ingness to work," he said. Aim of.
the scheme is to promote an "at-
mosphere of learning", wherein
teachers become allies of the stu-
dent instead of being treated as
natural enemies.
The dropping of departmental
entrance exams for grade nine ap-
plicants has, Mr. Plumsteel said,
resulted in inereased enrolment Of
students who should not be iitA9igh
school, and cannot benefit • froth
being there.
This larger enrolment has beeiit`:''

"The Orange Lodge expects

organization that asks 'equal

"Every licensed marriage in this
province is valid. No other prov-
ince can upset our law. If the
marriage laws of this province
are secure, it is due, in no small
measure, to the Orangemen. It
cost them $15,000 to argue the
Tremblay case before the Privy
Council. They honored every
clergyman, Protestant or Roman
Catholic, thereby.
