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.

Many have watched with interest
the drilling of the well back of the
weigh scales by Fred Davidson’s drill
ing outfit. Monday night the pipe was
driven into the rock strata at a depth
of 160 feet which is about half the
depth that the well will be sunk.

Pettawawa for nine days, returned on
Sunday. The officers, Major G. W.
Howson, Lieuts. W. L. Kress and W.

Had Lucky Escape

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bailey, ran in front
of a car driven by Robert Scott of
East Wawanosh, on Friday afternoon
last week. The little lad was very not
badly injured, suffering a few scratch
es. Prompt action by Mr. Scott no
doubt saved the child serious injury.

Wheat A Good Crop
We noticed an article in one of the
dailies where the average fall wheat
yield of Perth County is 25.2 bushels
to the acre and which also stated that
in Huron the estimated yield was 25.1
bushels. 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
