CADET INSPECTION On Thursday afternoon,; May 30th, many townfolk availed themselves of the opportunity .of viewing the man- oeuvers of the Collegiate Cadet Corps and of hearing the remarks•of Major Jeffries, District Cadet Off- cial. Despite the excessively hot weather, the boys, who duringthe year have been under the instruction of Mr. C. E. Carbin gave ,a fine dis- play. The officers' were •William Ball, Captain, and' It. 'Noble and E. Gray, lieutenants. The bugle band led by L. Cook and M. Rozell, was in atten- dance and contributed much toward' malting' the inspection a, success. • Major Jeffries in his speech to the corps commended them warmly " for the creditable display, particularly their marching. He stressed the im- portance of physical training, clearly showing. that a man physically fit,,is naturally mentally alert. At the con- elusioti of his remarks, prizes for the• D.C.E.D. winter seder were present- ed by the Major, Lloyd Stock win- ning first place, with Morris Rozell as a close second. After slight refreshments the boys paraded down town. Marched through main street, and upto the school again. ' It is noteworthy that the modern tendency with Cadets, ' -is to abolish things military, and many Corps have aheady adopted the navy blue uni- form and have omitted the use of rifles. Accordingly, the Clinton Corps have this year abandoned their rifles and in a short time, it is hoped they, will be supplied with the new uniform.

THE MIIRRISH ClOTN1NC CQ. amernserwroMeMecteMworommemuswerizmarnesmeranrossa e fo lowin from a Moosejaw, Sask., daily, refers to the passing .of a former Clinton citizen: 'Following ta vo weeks' illness :with heart disease, W. H. Beesley, he, ll; known and very highly re- aspeeted pioneer of the Belbeck dis- trict and for several years an' ener- getic and popular citizen of the city, passed away at his residence on Redland avenue, 'at 3 a.m. Monday, Aetiive in the' Moose Jaw Bond - cultural Association and also in the Moose Jaw Agricultural Society and in Zion Church', this city, the deceased made a valuable contribu- tion to the social and church life of the community. . Born in Ramsgate, England, .72' years ago last November, the late Mr. Beesley came to Canada with his parents when 10 years of age. They settled at Clinton, Ontario, and it was there that the deceased grew to manhood and received his education. For ' number of years he conducted a millinery and dry goods business in Clinton and in the year 1398 he decided to come West' and join his brother, J. G. Beesley. who bad previously settled in the Moose Jaw district in 1383. The year following his arrival at 1\foose Ja•W .the deceased took up a homestead 2,Ve miles, northwest of the Belbeck Post Office. Here " on the barren prairie he created ,one of the finest farm homes and farin gardens to be found in the province. Not only did Mr. Beesley prove to be an agtieulturalist of great ability, but he was not- satisfied until he had surorunded his farm home with flowers and shrubs, which gave' the appearance of a little piece, of old. Ontario, transplantedon tp the prairies. For years the farm :and gardens have been one of the show places of the district. Princess street, and who now, resides with his ton in Galt,. had the misfor- 'tune.'tp fall and in so'doing broke' his hip. and is now confined to. the Galt General Hospital. It seems a pity that, annexe of his: age, eightemsevtn, should have to go through the suffer-. ing " attendant on such an accident, and his friends here: deeply sympath- ize with. hint His soft, Oswald, of, Leiden and also:Mrs. W. Hannblyn are in Galt with him. LADY BOWLERS REORGANIZE Mr. Beesley remained on the farm for 22 years and then moved into the city, tuening over the - operation of •the farm to his one son, Bert, who at present is resid- ing and farming the old homestead. Since 1920 Mr. Beesley had resided in the city and in those eight years he had' been most energetic in parks board and horticultural association activities. .: During his residence on the farm, Mr. Beesley was prominent in the activities of Wesley Church, which was. a few miles west of his farm. In days of the formation of the Saskatchewan Grain- Growers : As- sociation, the deceased took a very' active: part and continued his 'ac- tivities' throughout the, many years that- this "organization served the farmers of the province. Ile also took part in the formation of the ,Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, and more recently had been very active in 'the formation and bringing into being of the egg and poultry, "pool. Tho late ' Mr: Beesley was 'secretary of the Belbeck ' Rural Telephone Company since; its ":"inception and took a very prominent part in the organization of ' the Belbeck Farm_ ors 'Elevator Co. and was president Of it for many years.

These weeds'are pre- valent throughout the entire county. It would certainly be considered a hardship if .a farnner were requested to cut"a field of grain seriously in- fested with these weeds before they developed seed. H6'wevet', it. was thought that" clops which are cut. green. and used. for hay might give greater returns than if . allowed to ripen, in which case' the 'grain yield is very often poor. The most .encouraging observation from the experience of last year is the evident demand for information on the nature and particularly on. the control of weeds. All will agree that this is a healthy sign. and should be encouraged in. every ,,way possible. Tho Weed Inspectors, therefore, •should continue to study and for tint purpose it was suggested that a copy of "Farm Weeds of Canada" be sup- plied, This book'' contains:illustra- tions .of all the. common "weeds; 8'iv- iug. ,detailed. information as'to, their manner of growth and suggestions be for trioti control.

In addition, Chairman' Holmes of the parks committee recommended that some gravel" be put on the. roadway at the eastern entrance to Recreation Park 'and seine other slight improvements be made. Ile also reported as head of the fire and water' committee, recom- mending that the driveway at the north side of the town hall be level- led up' as high as the curb to make a proper exit for the fire engine. He also recommended that Clinton'"s new chemical fire -fighting apparatus be put at the disposal of the immed- iate eurrounding contnninities in ease of fire, some , arrangements be- ing made as to remuneration for firemens' time,` etc. In speaking to C6uncillor Holmes said this motion AMONG THE CHUR0H815 � that he understood that if natifica- tion had canto in time the residence Baptist Cthurch ' of Mr. Fred Lobb in Goderich town At the service oe Sunday evening ship might have been saved on the the Rev, A.
