The results have been varied, al- though recently everything has ,gone, according to schedule, and therefore it will be a• tense and watchful three weeks until their time is up, for better or, for worse. • Last week Mr, Mode, who super- vises egg grading stations in this area, visited the school and gave a general talk before the boys of the agriculture classes of Grades 9 and 10. A project that has been hoped and aimed for, for years at S.H.S. and worked on for many weeks, has finally reached completion., This week, the pairing off of lock- er mates for the boys' lockers Was completed, and the boys put the locks on; thus, the lockers are complete. Purchase was made this week of four dozen badminton birds, the expensive little feathered things that badminton players delight in belting back and forth across a net. The cost was borne by the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Societies, who will sell the birds to those wishing to play out of school 'bouxs, although during school hours they may be used free of charge. A test was held in the Cadet signalling class this week to de- termine who would. be the. stud- ents to continue in these classes. A good portion of those trying suc- ceeded, and it is hoped 'to have a demonstration of radio signalling on inspection day in May. Next Monday night at the High School. a concert that is more than a, little' out of the usual, will be presented. The artists will be Miss Mary Syme, pianist, and Bari Tapscott's quartette, the Commo- dores. Both are considered among Canada's finest in their field. Fuller information is contained else- where. Tickets at 25c each may be obtained 'from any high school stu- dent. This is really worthwhile entertainment, if you enjoy -'mus- ic. you'll remember this concert for a long time. We started• off this column with "Spring," so for a change we'll follow one of the cardinal precepts of column writing and finish with a reference to the introductory topic. Spring is supposed to be She time for budding romance to burstinto bloom, but at S.H.S. this floral phenomenon has been con- spicuous by its absence. Indeed, we can think of Only two new af- fairs, although both have been un- dergoing trial runs. all winter. There's the one "our rival has with a First Form lass, and, than there's the one involving the Third Form boy and • the Second Form girl. At first glance, this latter deal appears the most •likely to en- dure at least a few weeks more, since there is an equal amount of pursuing being done by both par- ticipants, although at present the "she" involved is a• little ahead, 'apparently. Wehaven't consulted Cord: about this, but he'll be only too glad to furnish further details. Having put our foot in our edi- torial mouth sufficiently for this week, we'll call it quits before we're sued for' libel or something. Your guess is as good as 'ours as YES! They're coming again!

MacKay Death came oh Friday, March 18, to 'Lillian L. Elliott, wife of Hugh R. MacKay, who passed peacefully to rest at her home, The Albion Hotel. She had been taken sud- denly ill two days previously. In her death another connection is severed with pioneer daysin the village. Born in Rayfield, Jan 1, '1872, she was the last surviving member of the family of Maria Smythe and Edward Elliott, five brothers and two sisters having predeceased her. With the excep- tion of four `years spent in Bruce - field. when a very small child, she had lived all her life in .Bayfield. Widely known by a large clientel dating from her early childhood, Mrs. M.acKay's friendly personal- ity will be greatly missed in the village. She had lived in her late residence since 1890 when the Al- bion Hotel was run by•her parents. On April 18, 1906, she was, married 'to Hugh R. MacKay. and in 19I4 they took over the management of the hotel from her mother. The deceased woman wasa member of Trinity! Church and during her. younger days took an active part in the Sunday 'School and choir, being organist 'for six years, 'She was also a member of the Ladies' Guild of Trin•itl Church. A .great reader, possessed of keen. retentive memory, she took an active inter-' est in the Library, of which she was a director fpr some years. Be- sides her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Alma (Mrs. R. L. Bassett), and Miss Ellen Mac- Kay, also one granddaughter, Bar- bara Bassett. The funeral, which was •very largely attended, was held from her late residence on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. The burial service was read by the rector, Rev. La Verne Morgan, with. Mrs. R. B. Johnston at the piano, and Trinity 'Church choir led in the singing of two favorite hymns, "Abide With Me" and "Jesus Saviour, Pilot Me'." Inter- ment was in Bayfield cemetery. Amongst those from a distance who were present for the funeral were: Mre. R. H. Middleton, George W. Elliott and son, Billy. Hensall; Morton Elliott and song Clayton and Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Elliott, Varna; Mr. and Mrs. G. Koehler and. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Parke, Zurich; Mr. and. Mrs. W. J.

Clarence Parke, Mal- colm Toms, Harold Finnigan and' Grafton Weston. to whether or not there'll be School News next week. You see, it all depends on whether there's any news (with exams on things slow down a great deal), and whether we're in shape to continue with this. We refer to cord's profici- ency at shin -kicking, which is something he must have learned from--, bu"t that would be tell- ing. So we'll conclude with a "see you next week, maybe." If we don't show up, do be brave and hide your disappointment; we all must suffer a little in this big, bad world. Just dry your salty little tears and carry on — rem'ember, there'll always be more School News;s! As our great uncle used to say at times like this (he was 'the one they. put away) : "It's an ill wind that gathers no moss." What connection that has, I don't know, but it really Sounds good, doesn't it? (No, please, put the net away; I'll go quietly; anything, just keep printer's ink away from mei) —. ranged a tour (left, eittabliehr ins meet, We were partircurlarly.intexested 'hi the fur department. where tljze raw furs are sold by''' anetion to buyers from all ever the world;. The auction room is arranged with soft cushioned seats in an elevat- ed levat ed position and will •seat 700 per- sons. No furs: are in.evidence when the sale is in progress •for. the buyers have visited. the store- rooms previously and know by m- numbers the furs they wish to pur- chase. The 'Bay" is proud of •its record - of being the oldest established Orin of ita kind in 'the world and. after learning the quantity of furs that are sent from Canada annually, we are convinced' that the fur trade is. still one of Canada's most import- ant industries. On our last evening in Landon we were entertained at a farewell 'dinner at Simpson's, one of Lon- don's fashionable restaurants. This brought to a close four weeks of experienc ' In the old land which wilt long De remembered by all of ABOARD • T'I El QI'TEEN MAW. Ly the time you 'will be readi ;?chic 'letter the •boyp and .I will be ,Nome ---that is all of us •egeept Wil- bert McFadtin, the Salads silver ,medaldst, who decided. to remain int England a few extra weeks. We 'are very glad to relax on board' this luxurious liner because from the moment we landed in England, "nearly six weeks ago, until now we have 'been oonstantly on the "go. The boat trips,, going and return ing, have given us our only' mo 'ants of leisure—providing one was not seasick. Speaking of seasickness reminds me of a story I heard years ago but which is still timely, A Young fellow on a certain ship° was sell - lug, subscriptions to the magazine 'Atlantic Monthly.". He walked up tb a passenger who was leaning over the railing and said: "Sir, would you like to subscribe to the Atlantic Monthly?" The man re- plied; "Son, I'm subscribing to the At:antic daily," The Queen Mary is a beautiful ship, To me it is like 'a floating ,island on which there,is everything that one may need to'.live'in cam - fort. I am not going to attempt to describe it because I know last year's team manager did a good job of that. Instead I shall try to recall the events of our last few days in Britain. After sightseeing in Northern Ireland we sailed for England where we spent almost a week be fore our ship sailed. Our fir•• stop- was Wolverhampton,. County Staffordshire, one of the most heavily industrialized areas in the British Isles, The farms in this. district also appeared to be more prosperous than some other sec- tions of England we had' visited. The British Isles possess a beau- ty quite different from anything our Canadian party had ever seen. The architecture of the buildings, the countryside and even the peo- ple vary greatly from one section of the, country to another. Often when driving a short distance we npticed that. th'e scenery would change entirely within a radius of 50 or 60 miles. At Castle Near the Welsh Border The farthest point reached on this, our second visit to England, vvas the city of Ludlow near the Welsh border. We saw the remains of the old 'Castle Ludlow which was built as a stronghold against the invading Welsh people in the days when the Welsh and English were bitter enemies. The battles 0: that time would appear to 'have been more barbarous than the war €ave carried on by the North Amer- ican Indians 'against the new set- t l ors. Ludlow Castle is not as well pre- served as. Edinburgh Castle. Nev- ertheless' it was a wonderful sight to behold, with its walls measuring eight to 10 feet thick and the nuln- 'erous rooms occupying in all about fiveacres of lands• From Ludlow Castle we drove to an old inn known as Whittington Inn which they say was once own- ed by Dick Whittington, Lord Mayor of London, and dates back to 'the 'year 1310. Here we enjoy- ed our first steak dinner since land- ing,in Britain. The following day we journeyed back to Londonwhere we saw many places of historical interest including Westminster Abbey and St, Paul's Cathedral. Our visits were burned but what impressed us most was the age and grandeur of the numerous buildings through- out the city. Later we took a bus trip through a beautiful part of the country in find around London, terminating at Windsor Castle where the King and Queen spent a portion of their time. We were impressed with the magnificence of the Castle. During our tour of the country- side, we had an opportunity to visit the Anglo-American Oil Com- pany's experimental farm' located in a 'fertile agricultural district about 60 miles outside London. Here scientific tests are conducted on diesel oils, lubricants, tractor fuels and a host of other petroleum products., We were interested to learn that when Anglo-American bought this farm they didn't build any new buildings but. simply turn- ed the barns and other farm build- ings into laboratories,. What was formerly the horse barn is now the recreational building for the staff of over 200, This building has a thatched roof which is said to be the largest in England. The Anglo people did valuable work for the government during the war years in testing lubricants and fuel for engines and aircraft. and now in peacetithe they are continuing their work with the same scientific zeal. Canadians in Television From the Esso Farm we were rushed, back to 'London for a most unusual purpose—to appear on the BBC television program. Rhys Baeher, Wilbert McFaddin and my- self were interviewed. The two boys appeared In their plowing outfits and I donned my Indian costume for 'the occasion, Those who saw the program remarked that our little part came over we(l and was received with much in- terest by the audience. Needless to say, it was an unexpected Priv- ilege for us. The next morning with Mr, Stap- leford of 'Ontario House, we visit- ed the Headquarters of the Hud- son's Bay Company in London. Known as Beaver House, it is said to be one of the most up-to-date buirtiings In the world. On enter- ing We were reoelvod iby the com- Patiy'S leading _executives who ar- us•. Rhys Backer has just came in to say that we are only a few hours from New York. We have had a wonderful trip 'but like most trav- ellers we are looking forward to, our homecoming. My next letter' will be written 'from Brantford, and I shall try to sum up our 'impres- sions of conditions in the British Isles—what the people generally and the farmers in particular think about the country's nationalization program and the cancellation of food contracts with Canada. Federation News (By W. V. Roy) Perhaps last week should be called Hog Producers Week for the County, qts no less than three meetings. were held. About 150 !armors availed themselves, of the opportunity to tour the Whyte Packing Plant at Stratford. Over fifty farmers 'turned. out on Friday .afternoon to hear the different methods of feeding and handling hogs discussed,in the Agricultural Board Room, Clinton. The County Hog Producers are now headed by Orval Taylor, of Belgrave, as chairman of the coun- ty committee, and Wm. Young,, R. R. 1, Blyth, as secretary -treasurer. The field day committee has been successful in securing as guest speaker for the annual field day, the American Ambassador to Can- ada, Mr. Steinhardt. This big event will 'be held in Goderich on June 15, and should• be of am internation- al nature this year, as representa- tives of the International Federa- tion. of Agricultural Producers are also expected to be in attendance. This, I believe, will be the first time that a foreign ambassador has ever visited 'Huron County. Barrie Bremner, . Brussels, R.R. 2, has been appointed county 'pro- jectionist to succeed W. V. Roy,' the appointment to 'take ' effect April 1. County Forums 'held a rally in the auditorium of Seaforth Colleg- iate on Friday, with Robt. McMil- lan, of. Seaforth, acting as chair- man. Clare Burt, Provincial Sec- retary, gave an inspiring talk on Forums and Folk Schools. The aud- ience enjoyed a concert provided by forum people and witnessed the feature film produced in Huron County, "The Books Drive On," which was followed by a lunch and social get to-gether. Farm Forestry There may be circumstances ex- isting in some woodlots which ne- cessitate the planting of trees. In general, however, this is not often. necessary. If a woodlot 'has been heavily pastured for years., and is very open, with few trees left, planting may be the only way to get back a new stand of trees. Large open- ings may exist from previous log- ging ogging operations, and for some rea- son have not become restocked with trees. In such a case, plant- ing is a suitable remedy. Planting may be used as a means of intro- ducing more valuable species into a woodlot, if the existing species are of low 'commercial value. If. for any reason, planting is necessary in a woodlot, great care must. be taken to ensure survival of the planted trees, else one's work may be done without achiev- ing results. Many species of trees can not be grown in shade. since they need plenty of sunlight to promote growth. In a woodlot, one should plant young trees only in the openings, or around the' sides' where they can get an abundance of sunlight. Certain species Can withstand a certain amount of shade. spruce being one of these. However, to be sure of not attempting to plant species that won't survive in shade itis best to consult your Zone For- ester. • If planning to plant in a woodlot, it must, be realized that the sys- tem to use will he spot planting. it will probably be impossible to plough furrows, so a piece of sod must be removed with a. shovel, a hole dug in the cleared space, and the tree thin planted. ,This meths or] is slower and 'harder work than usini' furrows, so care must be taken not to over-estimate the nnni'ber of trees' that can be plant-.
