I ant now starting my fifth and last year in Canada as :Governor-General. During every one of the past foul years, I have trovelled many thous- anhs of miles throrghout this won- derful Dominion. As the representa- tive of the Ring in this country, I have endeavoured to testify to Cana- dians of all ages, in your great ,cities and in your remoter country districts, the close personal interest that His Majesty feels in all his Canadian sub- jects. In my travels, I have inet a very great number of men, women, and children of . this glorious country. I have seen many van sides of Canadian dian life. I have seen, I hope, somethinig of the hearts and minds of Canadians, as well as much of their outward ac- tivities. It has been, as you can 1050 - gine, a very agreeable, but also a very moving, and a•very illuminating, ex- perience. From that experience, one impression ,stands out more vividly, perhaps, than all the others I have gathered—end that is that Canada, as a country, is vitally instinct with the spirit of Youth. Ey that, 1 clo not mean that Canada is, historically, a young nation, as nations go. I do not mean, either, that Canada at the present moment offers greater professional opportuni- ties to Youth than do other countries. What I do mean is that Canada to- day seems to me pre-eminently con- scious of the needs of Youth, anxious to give Youth a fair chance, proud of its own boys and girls, and determin- ed to make the most of the fine raw material of citizenship which those splendid boys and girls provide; arid this explains what I have also noticed everywhere—that hi Canada, the eld- ers seem to stay younger, to keep Youth in their hearts longer than they do in most countries. 'there is, in fact, throughout this great country, a deep seated syrnpathy with Youth, a realisation of the obligations of Age to Youth, which is one of Canada's greatest national assets. There are in the world today many so-called "Youth Movements"; but of all those of which I have any know- ledge the one for boys that appealls to ins ni.est is the Boy Scout Movement. In my, opinion, this organisation which 'lays such stress ,an honour,, on loyailty, on neighbourliness, and on "playing the game", is the one that is the finest and is best suited to Canada. ,Naturally, its emphasis' on loyalty appeals to me, ,for is net life altie —lo alt to made u 1 s of Y P 4Y Y one's friends; loyalty to those' things that are beautiful and good; loyalty to one's country;• loyalty, to our King; and • above all; and most important of all, loyalty to Gad.. Doubtless you have heard, that the Chief Scout of the World, Lord. Bad- en-Powell, is coming to Canada next spring, ,and that I have thallenged the Scout Organization to. celebrate What inay be his last visit by laying plans for a consijierable expansion and improvement of the Moven-114M. Canada has 65,000 excellent %Scoots, but I know that is not enough: Thier3e shouldebe at ):east one hundred thous and, in this • country, and Scouting should be made available to. the hun- dreds of smaller communities which at present have no :organised' activ- ities of any kind for their boys , Mir Beatty; the, President ' of ;they Scout Organisation in Canada, : is just as much in earnest about this matter as; I am.

Organization for the Campaign,' HURON PRESBYTERIAL MET ,IN CLINTON TUESDAY` Mrs. 'C .E. 'Dougan and: Mrs. Mac- Donald of Clinton on Executive The annual meeting of Huron Pres- byterial of the Women's Mlissionary Society of the" Presbyterian Church in Canada was held in Clinton Pres, byterian Church on Tuesday. Repres- entatives were present from Auburn,. Blyth, Hayfield, Clinton, Hensall, Ex- eter, Goderieh and Seaforth. Those. present remarked that it was an in- spiration to see so many new faces among the familiar ones, as it sig- nified that the interest ,in .missionary work in the church has been awak- ened in the hearts of the younger wo- nen and their presence showed their 'retention to carry on. Miffs. Hudson of Hensall Auxiliary gave, the •S'cripture.reading and the prayer .offered by 1V)rs. Edwards of Hensall was a fitting •opening for the. very outstanding meeting that • fol - owed. M1s. Young, recording secre- tary, of• 'Unseal, gave a very minute andinteresting account of the meet - rigs of 1934. Greetings were read from the Provincial Board. • • Miss •Jecke'il• Speaks Ever since Miiss Jeckell's first talk to Huron Presbyterial four years agog" 154. members have aiways expected and received _something inspirational to start them out in the year's work and were net disapp sinted 'in 1935. She said 1634 could not be changed but that all of 1935 lies ahead. "What are we going to do with it?" • she asked. "Ws meet to -day to •take stock and find our'assets and our lia •bilit;ies. If we desire to be an asset to our Society we must re'sol've to give a life of service. We must not shut our hearts to the calls for help, but trust continue in giving and doing, no matter how small the service." Miss Jeckell congratulated the. Y. W. Secretary and the Mission Band Secretary for their being able to re- port new organizations. She thanked all officers and secretaries for their: hearty co-operation which had made her work as presiding officer in Hur- on Presbyterial, one of happy re- membrances, and assured her succes- sor of the same relationship, She regretted that the annual. meeting in January is the first oppor- tunity tunrty the Huron Presbyterial i to the presi- dentFres- hasof conveying Y g bvterial a report of the.Board meet- ing in October; and touched on a few vital petits of that meeting. First she called attention to the fact that the Welcome and Welfare Secretaries were not always working and thought that auxiliary presidents could help in that work, that everything should not be left to the Welcome and 'W'elfare Secretary. CLARENCE C. HARRIS,., "Dumber Hermit" DEAD Clarence C. Ears, better known as "The Hermit of the Humber," is dead, He lived as a recluse :for years on the river banks near the Baby Point district. Several; times, he predicted the end of the world, He died at the home of his.daughter,, Sunday night. Born in Nova Scotia, he came to Toronto when about 24. Among his adventures was a trip to Egypt to Measure the Pyramids ` and ' thus cheek the data on which he based his prophecies, MAYORS TO MEET ON JANUARY 24TH First Conference of Year Will Be' Held For Two Days In London next The eonference, of Ontario Mayors will be held in London on January 24 and 25. Mayor Wingie is president of the Ontario Mayors' Association, In view of the fact that the Ontar- io Legislature will convene shortly. the forthcoming conference is regard- ed as an important one. with this object in view, will begin. tomorrow,' and I" am calling upon •ev- ery adult ,.member of the Association in every Province, and upon every- one who t loves Canada to lend a hand with this big task, .g' May I•.'ask thepeople of the Do- minion to do this for me? I would feel a, great deal happier on the :sad day when I return to England, on giying up my office, if I could report that the 'Scout Movement, which lays such stress on loyalty to the Throne, had *en firmly placed upon its feet far rthe . next five years, and that plans had, been -completed for great- ly extending ands increasing its use- ulness to Canada., Ir To ba,,,surgeed,Canailian and a good Scout will al',vvays, I feel sure, be synonmous terms. She asked that the Auxiliary meet- ings be made more attractive—every program should have some magnet to draw the people, then the Record- ing Secretary• will have :no difficulty in making an interesting report for the annual meeting. In closing she left with those pres- ent the text, Micah 6:8: "Ile hath showed thee, 0 man, what is good; and what 'cloth God require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" "How sure and certain this command is," site said, "and there is strength in it for every -day living. In every- day things I must be straight and fair. I must love to be giving and doing for others, and then each day, whether it be joyous or sad, walk humbly with God knowing that He is guiding' nil the way. May this be our guide through the days and weeks of the coming year" Secretaries Report Reports from the various seeretar fes were read and eagerly listened to. In some groups there were decreases in membership, but not in givings, and in others increases in membership and givings. The Home Helpers gave a wonderful report, showing an in- crease over. their banner year.. The Young Women's. Auxiliaries show an increase in organizations, members and givings. They now contribute aver one-third . of Huron's allocation. The Treasurer, MPs. T. Span Smith, was able to report that Huron Pres- byterial had met: and exceeded their. allocation of $3,260. Mrs. Young, Secretary, condensed the various reports efts in a ver inter- esting i eating summary of the work of 1934. and urged that the membersgo for- ward. in His strength and with the courage born of faith, Officers Installed Mrs. Walters, of Goderich, gave the report of the Nominating Committee, after which Mrs. Albert Taylor, of Goderich, ,conducted the installation of the following officers for 1935: Honorary President, Miss Jecicell,.

Gentlemen: The article on page 6 of your issue of Jan. 10th headed, "Agricultural Income," is most as- suredly written in a very hopeful and optimistic vein. Just to read it hope springs eternal in the human breast. A list of farm products shows a raise over the 1933 prices of from 2 per cent to e• cent. 7 0 per Also it states that the raise in price of farm products has not been accompanied by as rast a raise in the products the fainter has to buy. So -the future is very bright, the de- pression is over. We can buy a new Rolls Royce car and spend the win- ter in Florida and in far away Cali- fornia reposing beneath the paint trees shade upon the beautiful sands of the ocean from which is wafted those beautiful and cooling zeph- yrs which .bring comfort to our pain-aflicted . constitution, and peace to our tortured and weary souls. However on that rising Aurora of hope there occurs a tinge of pessim- ism. Large areas in Canada and the United Staets have been destroyed by drought. Cattle have been shot and slaughtered to end the misery of starvation. Right here in Ontario the hay was only one third of a crop so cattle were poured into the mar- kets because the farmers did not have feed, at starvation prices, so even at advanced :prices, where are the farmers going to get the produce to exchange for necessities. It brings up memories, yes inemor- ies of 'childhood, so vivid and en- trancing of hope. When we were as- sured by our eiders after doing some chore that they would give us the first nickel they found floating down the river on a grindstone, and believ- ing in their truth. and honor how ea- gerly and with what imagination and pleasure we . anticipated receiving that nickel.
