You can be sure of that important first step when you buy the J. J. Warren Sex- Sal-Link from your Swift's Ilatchery. We believe—and we think the records prove—that the Sex-Sal-Link is the most outstanding brown egg layer on the market today, and the equal of any White egg layer. It averages 240 to 255 eggs per bird housed for a full year of lay, has good feed efficiency and egg size with low mortality. This year, head for higher egg income with the fatuous J. J.

They get "leggy" or spindly end, some cases, woody, coarse and very ugly. What's more, it seems to be a no- relief-in-sight situation—the rem- edy most adhered. to being the hide-away method. Behind a large chair is an excellent spot, Right now, the thought of ring must be a very remote sideration; but sharpen the scissors anyway, because a bit of trimming could bring these house plants out of their most deplorable rut. First, consider the effects of pinching and pruning. Pinching the growing point of a stem, there- by promoting a bushier appearance. Pruning older, woody plants will encourage new more more attractive growth. • Since pinching is done primarily to cause bushiness and a spreading type of 'growth, it's a good idea to pinch the plant •before it gets toe high. Young, tender sterns ,may be pinched 'by hand, .but the tough- er types should be cut with a sharp knife. Always cut above a leaf joint or node.

Mrs. Harry Tichbourne of Code- rich, spent a few days this week with Mr. Peter Kennedy, and Miss Annie Kennedy, strongly, that by the early 1900's Institutes were being formed all through Huron. The interest of the women of this community was aroused by 1911. On the stormy afternoon of Feb. 19 of that year nearly 50 women gathered in the Orange Hall, Belgrave, to take part in the organization of the Belgrave Women's Institute under Mrs, Par- sons of Forest, District Organizer, In the next few years the atten- dance dwindled but that spark of enthusiasm never died out in the hearts of the women of Belgrave. Study of our record books through the years has brought home to me the fine contribution this organiza- tion has made to the life of our community and country. Our Institute in its first year was given capable leadership under the first president, Mrs. James Anderson. Mrs, W. Ferguson be- came the first secretary and the first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. (Dr.) R, L. Stewart, At this gathering it was arranged to hold the meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at 2,30 p.m. This has been adhered to through the years with the ex- ception of the opening time which is now 2.15 p.m. In the early In- stitute plans for meetings, and programs had to be arranged at each meeting, but soon programs were arranged a year in advance and printed. Two topics of that first year were Education of Our Boys and Girls, and An Infant's Wardrobe. In 1914 Dr. R. L. Stewart gave an address on In- fectious Diseases. The meeting closed with a petition formed to send to the local M.P., asking him to work for establishment of medi- cal inspection in the schools by the government. We kno* this came about not long after, so we see our organization was already wielding an influence on the life of our pro- vince, Many of the early meetings were held in the homes, but some were held in the Foresters' hall with the ladies paying $1.00 a, meeting for the privilege. Many special meet- ings were, held,. jointly ,with the Farmers Club of East Huron. We learn of an attendance of 200 at one meeting with °a social time at carpet balls being enjoyed at its close. .T'n those' early Years picnics GIRLS ARE TAM TO INSERT ZIPPER BLUEVALE — The Bluevale Belles homemaking club met at the home of Mrs. W. J, Peacock on. Saturday morning with, all mem- bers present, The roll call was "Why I chose the color' of my dress." There was a demonstration, fol- lowed by practice of inserting a zipper. Work on the dresses fol- lowed, Cotton Cut-Ups The fifth meeting of the Cotton Cut-ups was held at the home of Nancy Taylor, assistant leader. Following the 4-H pledge, Patsy Taylor read the minutes. The roll call was "Name the trimming selected for your dress." Ideas for Achievement Day were discussed. It will be held on May 6th. Mrs. Corrigan demonstrated putting on facings. The members worked on their dresses, and the meeting was closed 'with "The Queen." U-0-0 At Achievement Day On 'Saturday afternoon Mrs. Alex. Corrigan, Mrs. Jack Nicholson, Mrs. W, J. Peacock and Miss Dor- othy Shaw with several of the home-making club members en- gaged in the project "Cottons May Be Smart," attended Achievement Day at Walkerton, where the same project has just been completed. One of the big projects of tha tine- was the purchase of an organ for use in the Foresters' hall ,dur- ing the period 1914-100. The la- dies were business-minded and charged $1.0 for concerts and $2.00 for parties. There were many live- ly times in the hall during this per- iod box socials, parties and con- certs, since money was badly need- ed for Overseas aid, We learn of the W.I. putting on three patriotic concerts and turning $140 over to the war funds. At the same time the members were sewing, knit- ting and quilting. One project was an autograph quilt on which there was a charge of 10e for each name written. Belgrave soldiers were remembered at Christmas with socks and treats. When the war was over help to, the needy of Europe was continued for several years. With the coming of the Twen- ties the thoughts of the members turned to projects of community aid. The School Fair was formed in 1920 and from its beginning the Institute has supported the Fair by donating prizes. Village nights in the Twenties more rather dark, so the ladies decided that Belgrave must be brightened. In 1923 and 1924 lamps on posts were put up, a caretaker hired, and gas supplied until electricity came to the vil- lage., Then in the late Thirties the Institute members petitioned the Councils for electric lighting of the village streets. They conducted canvasses and would not be sil- ent until electric street lighting was accomplished. Just last year they were still trying to brighten Belgrave by adding lights to the south and rear side of the arena. Many Projects in 30's The first project of the Thirties was the publishing of the Bel- grave W.I. Cookbook, which has been the means of preserving fine recipes and lovely memories of the good cooks of our community. About this time the Institute, spon- sored a Travelling Library for the benefit of the ,community and sup- plied and kept replenished First Aid kits in three schools in 'the area. The Thirties were Depression years and needy centres in the West were sent generous bales from our' organization. The big project of the Thirties Was the lin- provement of the cemetery. 'It was begun in the late'Twenties by giv- ing the cemetery board a donation with which to' buy a lawn mower and clippers. They also gave mon- ey for hiring someone to use them. In 1933 the W.I. organized bees for straightening the gravestones, le- velling the grounds and, making flower beds, These flower beds have, been kept, up ever since. W.I. Will Organize 4-H Spring Project WHITECHURCH — Mrs. Victor Emerson, with Mrs. Albert Coul- tes, Diana, Sandra and Karen Hill, attended the meeting of the .4-H club at Walkerton on Saturday. This was Achievement Day for "Cottons May Be Smart," Mrs. Emerson, as district president, brought greetings from the Bruce South District of the Women's In- stitute and presented three girls, who had taken the full twelve pro- jects of the course, with the Pro- vincial Honour certificates and pins, She also presented seven girls, who, had taken six projects, with the County Honour certifi- cates and pins. ' The womens' group here has de- sired to form a, 4-H group and Mrs. Garnet Farrier and Mrs. Albert Coultes have consented to be lead- ers, and take the training course on March 15 and 16, at Walker- ton. A group will then be organized beer and all girls who are, twelve years old after March 1st, are in- vited to join the club and come out and take these popular and worthwhile projects. "Fruits, Fresh and Frozen," will be the project for the spring months. showed renewed interest in the Foresters Hall by donating a new stage curtain and working with the Foresters for some other improve- ments, In the early 1950's we spon- sored the Huron County Hospitali- zation Plan and have contributed through showers and donations to Huron County Children's Aid for many years, We have shown our Interest in the Wingham Hospital in many ways through the years; have conducted canvasses for the Red Cross for 31 years and have conducted two canvasses for the Cancer Society. Our members have put on pro- grams at the County Home and last year sponsored a birthday party there, We have raised money for many other causes and the needs of refugees and other needy people in the world always have our aympathetic interest. In late years we have brought about re- duction of the speed of traffic through our village and caused signs to be erected north and south of the village, In the Fifites we have gained wider knowledge of our province through our yearly bus trips. Not long ago we cham- pioned resistance to the encroach- ments of daylight saving time in this area for we feel it is a detri- mental to the best interests of Home and Country. Now in the Sixties we have begun two new projects -an interest in the welfare of our local Boy Socuts arid bringing of cheer to a patient in Westminster Hospital. I am sure that the inspiration of this 'anni- versary celebration will stand out as the treasured highlight of the Sixties. Our Women's Institute organiza- tion might belikened to a mighty tree with its branches large And small spreading out throlugh all the world giving strength and leadership to the various communi- ties they represent. Visitors to our community sometimes compliment us on our spirit of community co- operation. I feel Belgrave Women's Institute has done much in cultiva- ting this quality and has con- tributed' strength and leadership to this community, The past fifty years in our organization have been been rewarding years. Let us work to make the next fifty just as, fine, Add a cup of finely chopped apple to pancake batter made with about I. cup of flour, or to a batch of standard muffins made with 2 cups flour.

Young trees. were planted on each side of the en- trance in 1939, Memorial services were begun in 1936 under Institute sponsorship. Our latest contribu- tion has been the cemetery bench. Early in the Thirties a resolution was passed, urging that music be taught in the schools. Before the Thirties ended music.in the schools came to this area and with it our Music Festival, which our organ- ization supports by donation of two shields for, rhythm band, The big highlight of the Thirties was our Silver Anniversary on June 5, 1936. Second War Projects The Forties brought again the heartbreak 'of war so again the members concentrated on t h e needs of their country. It was the 'Institute who suggested to Reeve Redmond the calling of a meeting to organize a local Red Cross. Then the Institute worked in close co- operation with the Red Cross in making jam, knitting, sewing, quilting, raising money and send- ing cheer to our boys at the front. At the close of the war they back- ed the Building Committee in their efforts to arouse the interest of the community in building the Belgrave Memorial Community Centre. They made donations to- ward the building and on its com- pletion in 1949 donated a piano, lunch accommodations. and other necessities. The Institute since then has met in the arena rooms and lately added swings and gravel to the arena ground's, During the Fifties our !concerns have been divided between com- munity projects and those farther afield, 1950 marked the begin- ning of our Tweedsmuir Book, with its recording of the history of our, community. During this period we presented community concerts to develop community talent and Euchre Winners At S.S. 9, Kinloss WHITECHURCH—Mr. and Mrs. Robert Purdon and Mr, and Mrs. Robert Scott sponsored the euchre on Friday night at S.
