S. Govern- • ment through the official channels to the Government of Canada, which ac- eeded to it. It is because of the wide experience Mr. Elford has had in be- ing an official delegate to the second World's Poultry Congress at Barce- lona, Spain,' in 1.924, third congress held in Ottawa in 1927, as presiding officer at the fourth Congress in Lon- don in 1930, heading the delegation to FRED C.

When he attended the Congress at Barcelona as anofficial representa- tive of Canada, he was authorized to present the invitation of the Dominion Government to hold the :third Con- gress in Ottawa in 1927, and the in- vitation• was accepted., Mr. 'Elford, in 1925, was made Director General of Arrangements for the third Congress.

Clinton Products Travel Far A college friend of Mr. Owen Combe called on him in Clinton re- cently and rbhile here recounted. an he had when in Kingston, experience Jamaica He is a London man, and he and a friend went into a store in Kingston to purchase a pair of shoes. The salesman showed him a pair of shoes manufactured in his horn city, London ,and when he was fitted the salesman, evidently a good one, ask- ed'him if he wouldn't like to see some t` out fine hosiery,.and he brought g some Clinton -made hose. "Of course I bought them," the young man said, "and went out of this store in Ja- maica, supplied with London -made shoes and Clinton -made hose." Clin- ton Knitting Co, has been sending its products to most of the countries in the Empire, as well as to many for- eign countries, far years and we trust will continue to do so for many years to come. Rennie-Rumball A cruet wedding' was performed at the Ontario, Street United church parsonage on Saturday, June 13th, when Mary Eileen, eldest, daughter of Mr. and MTS. A E. Rmnball, be- came the bride of Sara -pall G. Rennie, son of Mrls. Jessie, ancli the late E. Rennie of Hensall, . The' ceremony was conducted by' the pastor, Rev. F, G. Farrill, and•the bride was attend- ed by her sister,' Miss Helen Rutnball, Youth Flies .High A roan people le had an air- plane greatY p n plane ride here over last week -end, a plane being here from London, and among them wasAnita, little daugh- ter au h -ter of Mr. and Mrs. J Wres Cruik- shank who said she "looped the loop and enjoyed it.", Surely, the rising generation are going places and, see- ing things which would have made their grandparents' eyes bulge, could they have forseen them. But the young things take thein all as a mat- ter of cotuse. • An Act Of Vandalism The "Prince's Peonies" on the Lib- rary part: this year are not as good a 'show as usual, because of the van- dalism of some person or persons, who deliberately cut off the bads by the dozens. The largest ,lush, bearing fine, targe pink blooms, was covered with buds, but a week or so ago almost.ev- ery bud ort the top of the bush was deliberately cut off. Not for the 'bloom, as they were not far enough on for that, hilt just out of pure wantonness. It is hard to understand the men- tality of the person who could do such a deed, it would seem as if they must be lacking in some wholesome human quality. They certainly cheated the rest of us, who love beauty, of many a feast to the eyes these days when the bushes should be loaded with lovely bloom. The iris in the town plot at the sta- tion was also stripped of bloom by. desecrating hands. It is a pretty mean thing to doeither of the above sneaky acts. St. Paul's Church A special service was held in this church on Sunday morning, it being the thirtieth anniversary of the or- dination of the rector, the Rev. K. McGoun. The special minister pre- sent for the occasion was the Rev. Canon Snelgrove, of Holy Trinity church, Galt, a friend ' and college classmate of the rector. • The Canon spoke onthe subject of "Spiritual Things .which cannot bemeasured," basing his remarks on' a passage from Zachariah. The church choir rendered ' the anthem, "Seek Ye the Lord,' in which the leader,., Miss Viola Fraser, and Mr. Robert Ranier, had solo parts. Rev. Kenneth McGoun was or- dained by Rt., Rev. Archbishop Wil- liams in, St, Paul's Cathedral, :Lon- don,.on June 12, 1900.

He was'overseas during the war as chaplain of the Middlesex Battalion and retains' the rank of major. Mr. McGoun came to St. 'Pauls Parish, six years ago, ex- changing places with Rev. L. C. Liar- rison of Lucan: Another interesting feature of this mornninn• service was the: unveiling and dedication by the rector of two handsomely; designed hynnn-boards, presented to the church' by ,Mr, and Mrs: R. J. Draper in loving memory of their son,.. Sgt. Murray Draper, who sleeps in Flanders field.. '- ' Ministerial Farewell • The members of the .Centre Haron Minsterial Association 'met at the Trinity Church Rectory, Bayfield, on Monday afternoon, accompanied by their wives and families, to say fare- well to the Rev., F. G. and Mrs. Far - rill, who are removing to a charge in Windsor. After an afternoon tea was served by the ladies and enjoyed by all, the chairncan,'Rev. R. M.

Dear Mr. Farrill: We, your friends and fellow workers of the Clinton and District Ministerial Association, are met here today in a, social way to try and express in some small way our. appreciation of what you have been to us. ,Becautet of the nature of our calling we realise more than most people the fact that "Change is our Portion here." We form friendships' and associations that, though lasting, must from a material and personal standpoint be broken. The time has come, when such a change takes place. In the natural. course of events, you•are called to another field of labour in the Master's Vineyard, • We shall remember, you and we know. you wiII not forget us. We ask you to• accept this little gift as a slight remembrance horn us, and we hope you will use it, not to Write dry philosophic serrnons,,but an oc- casional letter to your friends here.
