Mr, M. A. Reid, who had been ap- pointed chairman, called on Warden R. E. Shaddiok of Hensall to intro- duce the special speaker, Mr. G. L. Duffin, of the Department of Educa- tion, Toronto, Mr. Duffin stressed the necessity of formation of High School Areas, which would give to the rural areas, schools of greater attendance and which would permit these schools to cover all phases of education, especially sues subjects as manual training, home economics, advanced agricultural 'courses, as well as com- plete commercial course. These school areas would be cov- ered by bus service and pupils would be able to receive a complete second- ary education and continue to live at home. Under the present system, the Percentage of pupils going on to com- plete an academic career is very small, whereas the schools which could offer a course valuable to rural pupils would retain many pupils at school until a graduation certificate could be granted in these practical subjeots. The speaker pointed out that the Ridgetown Agricultural School had graduates to the number of 1500 on farms in Kent County since the inception of its agricultural course, which was instituted about 1983. Mr. J. H. Kinkead, Public School Inspector for North Huron, explained a, possible outline of the Seaforth Schoel Area with an estimated cost to the municipalities and which would be considerably lower than now is being paid.. Mr. E. L. Fox, Principal of the Seaforth High School, spoke briefly on the present facilities of the school. They can accommodate 250 pupils and the courses include home economics, manual training, with sufficient ac- commodation for an advanced agri- cultural and commercial course, for which permission has been granted to start Sept. 1st. In fact, the equipment has all been ordered. He further stressed the facilities of the School, which are modern and very superior to any which could be offered by a small school. Other speakers included Mr. R. O. Staples, Public School Inspector • for South Huron, Reeve Dorrance of Mc- Killop, Reeve Nicholson of Tucker:. smith, Reeve Armstrong of Hullett, and Mr. C. M. Smith, Chairman of the Seaforth High School. - After the general discussion, which was entered into by many present, it was moved by Mr. Kinkead and seconded by Mr. S. M. Eckert, that Mr. Duffin be tendered a hearty vote of thanks for coming to the meeting and presenting the views of the de- partment in such 0. concise and effic- ient manner. Before the meeting adjourned, Mr. Kinkead asked the various municipal councils to consider the proposal, so that a decision could be presented to the county council at its June session. was 3' p.m., Church Service: "Belief flower for Mrs. Stewart, who 1 s not in God."

Let the Church remember that its one task is to bring God to man and man to God. And the God whom the Church is thus serving; will take care of the matter of increasing the numbers of supporting adher- ents. Secondly: To professing Christ- ian people in general: This is the grand opportunity for those most closely associated with the wot'ehip and work of Churches to cleanse. out all that is inconsistent, hypocriti- cal or otherwise unworthy, and so to live the Christian life that others may begin to wonder if there is not something in it after all. And for those who like to be con- sidered respectable Christians (those who take shelter under the Christ- ian reputation!) but have not done much about it: This is the time to realize that their old habits of life and thought have done no good to themselves or anyone else, and the world so far is no better- off be- cause they are in it. These are the habits of careless, selfish indiffer- ence which made it possible "£or evil in the world to become so powerful as to cause all the suffering of the past seven years. Hence the Challenge to all who name the Name of Jesus Christ: "While there is time let us do good. unto all men,"—C.F.L.G. NORTHSIDE W.M.S.

McKILLOP DUBLIN Thieves who smashed a rear win- dow of the Stapleton feed store at Dublin early Saturday, escaped with 550 in cash—all small denomination bills, and took with them a small iron box containing cheques, notes and insurance papers, valueless to them but of considerable value to the owner, William Stapleton. The money was in an unlocked safe. It is believed the same thieves smashed a gasoline pump at Joseph Dill's general store in Dublin and stole a few gallons of gasoline for their car. Residents who heard the gasoline pump glass splin- tering are believed to have fairly closely set the time of the feed store robbery. The thieves had ransacked Mr. Stapleton's truck, standing out- side utside the door. and there were evid- ences that they had tried to start it.
