The haggis was there, made by' the

menu and toast list was there, print-

were there and the sword for killing
the haggis.
Out of the busk just as they were,
muddy and towsled from the slit
trenches and the patrols, came the
sergeants. and. Warrant Officers of the
Seaforbhs, and the full ritual of- a
Burns supper was gone through with-
out haste, or hurry wni1e the guns

ticularly lively night up the line,made
this perhaps the strangest Burns sup-

cause of larger farms and better
transportation the school. sections to-
d•,ay should be larger titan when they
were laid out i$lfty years ago. He
said that in Scotland 35 school boards
administer the education for five mil-

lion people. He cited that the larger
school area can have a better equip-
ped school, provide a better teacher
and give. the children a better social
education at a lower cost to the rate-
payers. He thought that we should
urge the Government to pay a large
enough grant that the country school
teacher could be as well paid as the
urban teacher. ,.• • ••
It was felt that Mr. Kinkaid had
brought a better understanding of
what our schools are endeavoring. to,
do for the country through the edu-
cation of its young citizens.

excellent meeting; called on Mr, L.

Use Military
:M 'thanks
• After the 'war thousands of men
now in the armed forces of Canada,
who have had exceptional military
mechanical training, will be demobil-
ized. How many of these men can,
by special vocational training in agri-
cultural mechanization, be readily
adapted to an..ag1-icultural `works im-
provement program, merits iinmedi-
ate special attention, Dr. E, S,• Archi-
bald, Director, Dominion Experimen-
tal Perms, told the delegates who
attended the annual convention of
the Canadian Federation of Agricul-
ture, recently held in Quebec city.
"These highly trained!mechanics
with skill and courage," he said, "may
-be adapted to works programs funda-
mental • to a better agriculture, for
example in land drainage schemes
which entail machinery such as ditch-
ing machines, drag lines, bull -dozers,
carry -all scrapers. various types of
eaterpi11er tractors, and many other
types of machinery which have ilbt
been adapted to agricultural prob-
lems, but which can be ecoonmically
used in a large-scale development pro=
Kram. This same training with the
same types of machinery applies to
flood control measures, soil conserva-
tion and other problems which re-
quire skilled engineers, soils experts
