Congratulations I know, you took a holiday, that is to" say, the kids who wished saw the movie "Hamlet” at the local theatre. It was taken from the Shake­ spearean play and was . spoken word for word from the text. We, in fifth form are sudying the play "Hamlet” in our English Literature this year, and I am sure all of us got a great deal out of the movie. To the rest of you it may have seemed dull and lacking meaning in spots, but you must admit, kids, it was entertaining and exciting along with being educational. •I- * * Friday afternoon, Mr. Dixon, our agriculture-science teacher, took Grade X boys as a class to a plowing match near Zion.

Marquis, 28, of R.R. 1, Sunderland, Ont., horse plow class gold medalist; Alex McKinney Jr., of Brampton, Ont., coach-manager; James M. Eccles, 30, also of Brampton, tractor class gold medalist. The three men will spend six weeks competing and observing agri­ cultural methods in Great Britain as guests of Imperial Oil Ltd. The members of the overseas team have much in common, for all live on farms that have been'in their families for three or four generations. -All raise purebred cattle and look forward to visiting some of the famous herds in the British Isles. Mr McKinney, the coach-manager, is a director of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association and will accompany the plowmen when they sail early next January James Scott Of Cromarty Active Cattle Shipper At 85 A reduction in power deliveries from one of the Commission’s suppliers makes it neces- sary for all consumers to avoid wasting electri­ city. The Commission has advised the municipal systems that strict compliance with regulations respecting the use of electricity is essential.” Voluntary conservation is also needed. Homes, industries and farms can play their full part by reducing the use of electricity at all times, particularly during the hours of maxi­ mum use, from 10 to 12 in the morning and ent of the Sunday School for 27 years, and clerk of the Session for 22% years. Mr. Scott is the eldest of seven children, still living, of the late James Scott, of Cromarty. His brothers and sisters are: Thomas Scott, 7 6, Cromarty; .Janet Mary, Mrs. Ed. Allan, 73, Cromarty; 'Mrs. Robina Routley, 71, Kirk­ ton; Ellen Maude, Mrs. Orin Francis, 69, Woodstock; tCaro­ line, Mrs. Andrew McLaughlin, Cromarty; Frances Penelope, Mrs. Ken McKellar, 63, Crom­ arty. Mr. Scott’s son, Thomas, is now on the farm in concession 11, Hibbert, at the eastern edge O‘£ Cromarty. Mr. Scott has nine grandchildren. His eighty-fifth birthday, Oct. 10, was celebrated with a family gathering at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Scott. James Scott, of Cromarty, launched- himself on his second career when he was 5 6 years of age. Before that time he had al­ ready put in ,a normal lifetime’s work as a beef cattle breeder and general farmer. Twenty-nine years ago he started his second career, as a cattle shipper, and at 85 years of age he's still go­ ing strong. In his own lifetime, Mr. Scott has witnessed most of the history of white settlement in the Crom- arty-Staffa area. His pioneer an­ cestors came to Canada in 1820, and Mr. Scott’s great-grandfather moved on west, from the original homestead in Lanark county, in 185 4. For the past 9 5 .years the Scotts have been of the warp and woof of the Cromarty neighbor­ hood, and James Scott .himself, after seeing all but 11) of those 9 5 years go by, is still alert and active about .his daily business. Cattle shipping became his bysiness starting Feburary 26, 1920, after four U.F.O. clubs, at Staffa, Cromarty, Brodhagen and Manley’s, combined to . engage him as their shipping agent. In the years since there have been few weeks in which he has not assembled a cattle shipment, and dispatched it from the C.N.R. yards at Dublin. At a conserv­ ative reckoning, Mr. Scott be­ lieves, he has shipped not .fewer than 25,000 head of cattle from the farms of Hibbert, Logan, and McKillop In his fore he business, horn breeder. He and his father before him kept a herd, and always with some reg­ istered breeding stock in it. Since he undertook cattle ship­ ping, he has been meticulous in staying out of the cattle-trading business. Mr. Scott takes pride now in being able to say that not once in 29 years has he sent out a shipment that included cattle he had bought for shipment to his own account. All of his 25,- 000' or more have gone on a commission basis, and nearly all have gone to the U.F.O. yards at Toronto. As well as from Dublin, he has made up shipments from Seaforth, E xeter, Mitchell and Rannoch. Other than Mr. Scott has a reputation horses. Next week, on Wednes­ day, October 26, he is to judge the plow teams at the Perth county plowing match. His record as a showman of Clydesdales ex­ tended over more than 50 years, and since he gave up exhibiting horses, he has judged at many horse shows. For 12 years, from 1935 until 1946, he was employ­ ed by the Department of Agri­ culture as an inspector in the stallion inspection service. Mr. Scott has had a long re­ cord of service in Cromarty Pres­ byterian Church, where he has been an elder of the church since March 2, 1902; was superintend- 4 to 6 in the afternoon.

It’s something more than the result of luxurious upholstery and “knee-level” seating comfort — it starts \vith the chassis. On the right are described some of the out­ standing chassis features which cushion road bumps... absorb shock and sway ... eliminate vibration — to help bring you tills smooth Dodge ride. In addition, the Dodge chassis has the ruggedness which assures you long, troublefree life — famous as Dodge Dependability. That’s just part of the extra value which makes your Dodge dollar a bigger dojlar. Take a look at what Dodge gives you in beauty, roominess and performance. There’s extra head and leg room, front and back ♦ . » flashing performance of the powerful Dodge engine ,.» extrii smoothness of Fluid Drive on Custom models... and many other'OUtstanding comfort, safety and performance features. Let your Dodge dealer tell you why you’ll drive more smoothly with Dodge * * * and how your dollars will go farther. RUBBER INSULATION is a substantial contributor to the famous Dodge Floating Ride. There are soft, tliick rubber cushions at all points of contact between the body and chassis. In addition, rubber limit bumpers on the springs eliminate hard metal-to-metal spring contact even under the most severe road conditions. SHOCK ABSORBERS of '‘sea-leg” type are mounted on the rear axle to counteract side­ sway. Dodge airplane-type double-action shock absorbers, iront and rear, ‘‘mb out” road irregularities.

INDEPENDENT FRONT WHEEL SUS­ PENSION allows each front wheel literally to “step over” obstructions without transmit­ ting the jar to the body. These independent coil springs are of tough Amola steel. FRAME CONSTRUCTION is box-type of double-channel, welded steel to give great stability, safety and long life. Front and rear bumpers are attached to the frame, the front bumper having a reinforcement plate for greater strength. BALANCED WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION is an important factor in the smooth Dodge ride. The Dodge engine is located over the front axle and the rear seat is ahead of the rear wheels. The result is a car which holds the road and handles safely and easily. All passengers are cradled between the front and rear wheels where the ride is smoothest.
