after all the record-breaking high temperatures and sun-
shine of late, that area residents would rise Monday to

Janney Strong served Canada
in severalovernrr� :.. < F.
� end . - ts
When James Alexander
Strong left Howick Township
to further his education and
seek his fortune, little did
friends and family know that
he would become a
distinguishedambassador in
foreign service and a
respected commissioner who
opened trade to many
countries and sold Canada
where never known before.
Jim Strong received his..
elementary education at a
`rural school in Howick
Township. The son of the late
William George Strong and
Eliza Ellen Warrell, he at-
tended high school in
Harriston and, on graduation
from Grade 13, went to
Toronto to work for the Bank
of Montreal.
Mr. Strong later attended
Queen's University, King-
ston, where he received
his Bachelor of Commerce
degree. Upon graduation he
joined the Department of
Trade and Commerce and
after a brief stay in
Newfoundland, he was sent
to Liverpool as Assistant
Canadian Trade Com-
missioner. He was chosen to
open an office in Panama, as
Trade Commissioner to
serve that country,
Colombia, Venezuela and
Mrs. Giselle Ireland
addresses Institute
FORDWICH — Mrs. H.
Gibson took the Jdevotions
after the Institute Ode and
the Mary Stewart Collect at
last week's meeting of the
Women's Institute. Mrs. C.
Sotheran gave the motto:
Soil is one of the most
common, and yet the most
precious things in the world.
Mrs. Sotheran said the old
way of spreading barnyard
products on the land is
superior to fertilizer and
stressed the need for con-
servation, for example, tree
shelters and crop rotation for
future farmers;our children.
The guest speaker Was
Giselle Ireland of Teeswater,
an area writer of humorous
happenings on the farm each
month in The Voice, a farm
paper. She gave some
statistics on women working
on the farm which were
illustrated by painted
posters. Mrs. Ireland told of
humorous incidents in her
own farm life and gave facts
and figures which illustrated
her findings. Women work
hard on farms, she said,
doing chores, handling
bookkeeping, raising
children and sometimes
holding down an outside job
as well.
She reported 21 per cent of
farm women drive
machinery and repair it as
well and must take small
children to the barn while
helping their husbands If-
their
ftheir salary was calculated
in hours of work, the total
would be astounding, she
said. Mrs. Ireland was
thanked and the lunch
served.
A card was signed for Mrs.
T. Klaassen, the president,
who is ill. The roll call: A
humorous incident I
remember on the farm, was
answered and brought forth
some chuckles.
Costa Rica. In June 1929, he
became Canada's first trade
commissioner in Panama.
In his 25 years in Canadian
Foreign Service, as Cana-
dian Trade Commissioner,
Mr. Strong opened trade for
Canada in England, Pana-
ma, Colombia, Venezuela,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ar-
gentina, Uruguay, Para-
guay, Boston and New York
City. .
By 1935, he was assigned to
Buenos Aires as commercial
secretary. He left Argentina
in 1945 to take the post of
trade commissioner and
consul of New York City. In
1947 he became Canadian
ambassador to Peru, the
youngest man in Canada and
the United States to hold
such an important position.
During his term there (1947-
49), he was sent as Special
Ambassador to the inaugur-
ation of President Gallegos
in Caracus, Venezuela. In
1949 he was given special
duties at External Affairs
Headquarters as a Boston
Consul and in 1951 he was
appointed Consul -General in
Boston.
Mr. Strong's brilliant
career ended early in
February with his death in
Virginia following a lengthy
illness. He was in his 82nd
year and is survived by his
wife, the former Phyllis
Loomis ; one brother,
Wellesley Strong of Gorrie,
and several nieces and
nephews. Those in this area
are Bill, Perry and Bob
Strong, Gorrie, Dr. Alex
Strong, Mrs. John (Helen)
Currie and Mrs. John
(Janice) Marks, all of Wing -
ham, Mrs. Bob (Joanne)
Allan, Kitchener, and Mrs.
Ken (Pat) Head, Sarnia.
Never leave small children
alone at Christmas (or at
any other time). The em-
ployment of a reliable baby
sitter is the best assurance of
freedom from worry if you
plan to get together with
friends in your home or
theirs.
Maven

raccoon hats, baseball caps,
top hats, Mexican hats to
decorated strainers.
Staff were judged at the
end off the week by the
residents and winners were;
1st prize, Jean Thompson,
and 2nd prize, Marion
Simpson.
At the luncheon meal
March 17 each resident
received a green -decorated
table favor. That same af-
ternoon the Catholic
Women's League from
Sacred Heart, Wingham,
visited, all dressed in green
and wearing hats and ties.
The ladies led in the singing
of Irish songs, while the
residents accompanied them
with the rhythm band.
Also visiting from Sacred
Heart were Vickie Belanger,
playing guitar, and her sister
Carol, who joined her in
singing two sacred songs.
Following the singing, the
ladies joined the residents
for their afternoon break.
The winners of the sports
events for February are
Margaret Curtis, Edith
Ross, Sam Vanstone and
Viola Campbell. Winner of
