NORTHERN LIGHTS WERE_BEAUTIFUL No Shower of Meteors Seen Here Those who watched here for the Perseid shower of meteors on Friday night were disappointed in that only a few meteors, one at a time, shot across the sky but no clusters were visible. The northern lights, however, presented a wonderful sight. These strange bands of light chased each other about the sky and at one time, about 12 o’clock, the whole sky was illuminated with a yellow glow that changed to a reddish hue, almost rose in shade. We have had the pleasure of watching the northern lights in Northern Ontario where they are very active and beautiful but the display on Friday night surpassed anything we have seen before. Saturday night, the other night that the Perseid shower of meteors were scheduled to appear was blackened out in this district by clouds. The electric­ al display on Saturday night* was of a different variety to Friday night, flashes of vivid lightning.

We cannot speak for all Hur­ on County, but in this district we are sure that the yield is much higher than that. We have not heard of any one reporting less than 35 bushels to the acre and in many cases the yield is much greater. In fact, one farmer reported 65 bushels to the acre. The crop here was of excellent quality and very abundant but the price is not so good. NOTICE We wish to announce that wo are discontinuing coupons at the end of this month. Coupons will be redeemed up to the end of September, 1939.

EAST HURON HELD INSTITUTE RALLY District Officers of Institute Gathered at Ethel The township hall at Ethel, recent­ ly re-modelled and decorated by the Woman’s Institute and beautiful with baskets of bright flowers, made a cheerful setting for the third Officcis’ Rally for East Huron District Wo­ man’s Institute on Thursday. The dis­ trict president, Mrs. Harold Spiers, presided. After congratulating the Ethel ladies on their achievements, the president introduced Mrs. Clar­ ence Hayes of Georgetown, who con­ ducted the rally. With her pleasing personality she had the assembled lad­ ies interested and comfortable before she had concluded her introductory remarks. The morning session was devoted to the question of financing the district and local Institutes under the heads of “Fixed Receipts and Ex­ penditures” and “Floating Receipts and Expenditures,” Receipts include grants, members’ fees, collections, donations and proceeds of local en­ tertainments, and the expenditures consist of Federation fee (10 cents per member), expenses for meetings, local leaders, short courses, books and magazines, organizations and relief, re­ creation and community enterprises, officers’ salaries and expenses. Sug­ gestions were exchanged for raising money. Mrs. Hayes closed her re­ marks by saying “Spend your money where it will do the greatest good to the greatest number.” Duties Explained The afternoon session was devoted to the “Duties of Officers.” Duties of the president, vice-president, secre­ tary, treasurer and district director were written on a blackboard and ex­ plained. Questions ask'ed by the speaker gave added interest and edu­ cation. After reading the many dut­ ies of the president she added; "and be able to pour oil on the troubled waters.” She spoke of the district dir­ ector as the link between the local In­ stitute and the district. Following the roll call, which fifty-one answered, and‘a musical number by the Misses Spearan, a short period was spent in the study of “Parliamentary Proced­ ure” dealing with the correct method of conducting an Institute meeting and making a motion, the four steps that precede and succeed a main motion. The meaning of an amendment was also clearly explained. Along this sub­ ject a book entitled "The Conduct of a Meeting” was recommended as a guide. She closed her remarks by briefly mentioning the responsibilities and op­ portunities of Institute members. She advised taking the work seriously and the need of personal effort, using the old saying "The more you put in, the more you take out.” After a few clos­ ing remarks by the president and singing the National Anthem, the Eth­ el members served delicious refresh­ ments. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at noon. Tonsils Removed Mr. Percy Clark had his tonsils re­ moved on Wednesday morning last week. That he made satisfactory pro­ gress is evidenced by his being down town the next morning, Thursday.

FOUNDRY CHIMNEY HIT BY LIGHTNING Heavy Rains on Saturday During Saturday night’s storm*, about 9 o’clock, there was one clap of thunder and flash of lightning that was terrific, It was this bolt of light­ ning that struck the furnace chimney above the steel room at the Foundry, toppling it onto the driveway and field.
