The Huron Expositor, 1951-02-02, Page 7A 9 CHAPTER V Synopsis Timothy, Hulme, principal of a good Out Impoverished Ver. mont academy, lives a studious bachelor existence with only his aunt Lavinia for company. They -take -their meals at Misa Peck'e. Timothy makes frienda with'a new teacher, Susan Bar- ney, and her younger sister, Delia. Now Timothy has re- cei'ved a, letter from a disagree- able trustee of the academy, Mr. Wheaton, calling him to New York. The afternoon before, this trip to the city, Timothy came into the house late. Without taking off his overcoat, withoutturning on a light, be dropped down on the chair The Voice Of Temperance Grand. Bend is in the spotlight, Is it to remain part of Huron, or become a part of Lambton? In Enron the Canada Temperance Act is in force. In Grand Bend there are those (see London Free Press Jan. 20) who blame the C.T.A. for all their drinking troubles. They want to have the C.T.A. repealed, or they.. want to get out of C.T.A. territory. It should be pointed out that the alternative is the Liquor Control Act with its variety of out- lets. That means more liquor, easily available, and more drink- ing rinking and a bigger job in law en- forcement for the police -and it does not mean the end of boot- legging. As it is now, the police have authority under the criminal code to deal with all cases. of drunken rowdyism. As for drink- ing in public places, seated on the curb or on the P.O. steps, that is not a problem. It is to be hoped that the citizens of Grand Bend will not let their minds be con- fused or misled. It would not be for the better, but for the worse, if by one means or another. they exchanged the Canada Temperance Act for the Ontario Liquor Control Act,( -Adv.). in the ball corner, closed his. oyes and tried to relax, Bat the hoose was not quiet; From Aunt Lavinia's room over, head came a disorder. of soupda a young alto voice starting a scale -over and over, only to be cut short at Si by a ,querulous cry from an old soprano. The doer of the, room upstairs opened and: closed. Timothy got to his feet, intending to meet Susan on the stairs. But the quick rusk of light young feet meant two peo- ple, not one. Oh, yes, the sharp little Delia was spending the Christmas vacation with Susan and had probably come along to the music lesson. Timothy was proudof his girl. "She's got more • understanding in one finger than little Delia has in all her brains." But driving to the Peck house for dinner. that evening he said, "See here,,•L'avvy, couldn't you jump down Susan's throat a little less about her music?" She flung her head up angrily. "Dinna talk about what ye know nothing aboot. I'm mild as violets and new milk with that gir-r-1!" Miss Peck's table was vacation small again, with only two from the Principal's house, and the two Barney sisters. Susan, in her blue - gray apron, was just filling the wa- ter glasses. When she saw Timothy she set down the pitcher and flut- tered toward him, crying, "Oh, Mr. Hulme! Mr. Hulme!". "That's my name," he admitted, looking down at her glowing face. "Delia 'and I've just had a letter from Cousin Ann in the Bronx and she says we can stay overnight with her and have a whole day in New York and .we can afford to of you'd let us ride down and back on the back seat of your car." he hardly heard what she said for gazing at her. For an instant he did' not answer. "Now, Tim," said Aunt Lavinia, severely, "don't be so like your father. Take the gir-r-ls along. Why not?" Making a rendezvous with the Barney girls for dinner the next evening, Timothy Hulme left them far uptown at the door of Cousin Ann's ring -and -walk-up apartment house, and drove on to his own small old hotel near Washington Square. It was late. He went to bed, but every time he turned restlessly over he saw only two young pro- vincials with hats that were un- couth because they showed an amount of forehead that was right last year, not this year. But he was tired and finally fell asleep. He had meant to take at least two days, perhaps three, for his various errands, but had hastily revised his trip to • suit the Barney girls, planningi to do by letter or telephone many of the things he Your Business Directory .: .

Aitch a shuddering glance at the headlined news.. of Fascist bombing of civii1ane in Spain ani: yet more: Nazi savagery in Germany, he laid •down the paper to plan his comings and goings. In the barb.er's chair he sat somberly dreading his call on Mr. Wheaton, rebuking by h)a Ina- tention the barber's urban grin over the length and odd cut of his hair. And when, close trimmed and clipped and shaven, he stood up to go, he tipped the man, firm- ly, unapologetically, a dime and nickel, no more. Shrugging his ov- ercoat on absent-mindedly, he look- ed at his memorandura to verify the address of the chic hotel wdiere he was to meet a mother Who had written fb propose her son as a student. Of coursethe fact that Mrs. Bern- stein wanted her boy to leave the expensive New Jersey prep school and enter another, even before the end of the first semester; meant that something was the matter with young Jules: But it might turn out to be something which a needy rural academy could afford to overlook. The door opened, Mrs. Bernstein came. in. She assumed at once the manner of friendship. He wanted just one thing from her, to know what was the matter with Jules; and as he expected, that was the thing she had no inten- tion of telling him. Rad Jules passed all his examinations? "Oh, yes, indeed, Professor Hulme, you'll find him a very bright stu- dent. Why, I've had 'teachers tell me that they never had such a-" Professor Hulme interrupted her flatly with his request to see the boy's report card. "Oh, I have it right here, Pro- fessor Hulme. I knew that with a careful person like you that would be the first thing you'd ask for.' The card came. out from a petit - point bag on her satin lap. • He gave one look at it. But, Mrs. Bernstein, there are no tuarks on it for the before -vacation ex- aminations.': "Ah, trust your experienced eye, Professor Hulme, to see that at a glance. Ha! Ha! Ha! Anyone can see that you know all about-" At last he broke through by rais- ing his voice to say. "Well, then I'd like to see his report card for the last year." "Oh, really! Let me see. I don't believe I have kept it. Liv- ing in a hotel . . . you country people with your great roomy houses and attics, you can't imag- ine how hard it is for us poor city people with no place - - - ' Making no pretense that he was not interrupting her, he said, "Mrs. Bernstein, I'm afraid I'll have to -telephone to Brentwood to get your son's record. I could get it in a few minutes." "Well," she said in agitation, "I'll see -I might be able to• find it." After a moment of search in the desk drawer she drew the missing card out and reluctantly showed it. It had, of course, a record of the results of examinations taken be- fore the last Christmas vacation. Professor Hulme laid it down on the elegant little desk and looked at Jules' mother -from the North Pole. She threw herself on his mercy. She was a widow, she cried brok- enly, giving her whole life to her fatherless ,boy. All she wanted was his happiness. If she had tried to deceive the professor, it was as any mother would lay down her life for her child, for After a time, "What was the matter with Jules' examinations this year?" asked Mr. Hulme. "I'11 let you talk to Jules him- self. But-" she put both hands over her face -"before you see him, I'll have to confess that . . , I've been ashamed to tell you be- fore . . . I simply can't pay your full tuition rates . . ." Her face still buried in her hands, she laid her head on the table. "It's abso- lutely impossible, because ... the depression has wiped out - . . not a single . . - my poor, poor boy, he is . . ." Mr. Hulme reached silently for • his hat and turned towards the door. "Wait! Wait!" cried the woman behind him, and ran qeit past him into the hall, calling "Jules! Jules!" Out of a door at the other end of the long hall a tall, thin, stoop - JOHN E.

" "Hello, Jules. How do you do?" said Mr. Hulme in the first natural tone he had used. lie stepped for - mud, holding out Ms band, The boy took it in a nervously taut grip. He tried for a., manly bluffness with a "How do You do, Mr. Hulme," but his eyes cried, "Oh, rescue me! Help me to escape!" They turned back into the ex- pensive sitting room and sat down. "Which ones of your last exams did you flunk?" asked the school- teacher. "All of them." "What was the matter?" "One of the kids in the dorm had a cello his mother made him take to school and I got .tp fooling around with it and never studied a lick for a month." His voice cracked ludicrously from treble to bass on the last phrase. His mother flung up her hands, opened her mouth to cry out, and was cut short by Mr. Hulme say- ing, "All right, Jules, come along to Vermont. If you'd like to try us, we'll give you a try." Mr. Hulme was a little late for his appointment with Mr. Wheaton but this gave him no concern, part of the Wheaton technique being to make callers wait -those who were not moneyed. After rising twenty- four stories in a Gothic elevator and finding his way through marble lined corridors to Mr. Wheaton's velvet carpeted Italian Renaissance outer office, she, sat looking down at his hat on his knee, bracing himself for the encounter before him. "Mr. Wheaton will see you now, Mr. Hulme." - With an inward, "Oh, he will, will he!" Professor Hulme fol- lowed the streamlined secretary into The Presence and was placed in a Louis XV armchair (which had cost, he had often calculated, as much as two months of his sal- ary). The. two men, silently de- spising each other, shook hands and exchanged greetings. Then the Principal got to busl- uess, began his report, and in a moment was being told that he had made an enormous mistake in admitting a Jewish boy as a stu- dent. T. C. said in a rather loud voice, to run no risk of not being heard, "This particular boy I've just ac- cepted struck me as very likeable, and -for a boy -civilized. In my opinion it is a good thing to give our isolated Vermont young peo- ple some contact with natures that have good points different from their own." "How do you mean -civilized?" Mr. Wheaton challenged him. "One of those precious, smart -aleck book- worms, I suppose." "Here's where I get his goat!" thought the school -teacher, yield- ing to a cheap temptation, and aloud, with a poker face, said ser- iously, "I wouldn't say he was :1r Road Surface LL9ht Conditions Woos to 2pan. 1l5 of ;Aacidertta oat 14 o day crit }' a Y Y r Twin devils of winter motoring are slippery rods and reduced VIaibility, Of the Ontario total of winter traffic accidents that injure children, nearly two-thirds happen on wet, snowy or icy. sue, faces, Also it gets dark earlier now than in summer, and even though few children area out at,. night the record shows that about one-fifth of all winter accidents to children take place- in dusk or after dark. bookish. I was referring to a cer- tain senuntive fineness of personal- ity -he was gentler to a tiresome mother than any Yankee boy would be -and he has a living perception e- g of musical values. To come in contact with these qualities would be very wholesome for the esthetic ignorance and blunt roughness of most of our Vermont students." He sat back, smiling inwardly. To push one of the buttons which made Mr. Wheaton go into the air gave Timothy Hulme a malicious pleasure hecould not resist -the pleasure of contempt. "Let me tell you, T. C., let -me - tell -you, that we want no effete European party ideas corrupting our American he -boys into-" But the trouble with making Mr. Wheaton roar was that the sound of his voice, no matter what it said, always turned to a higher pitch his certainty of being right. What he was shouting about the value of plain old -American -stock character by God compared to the slippery superfluities of the arts, pleased him so much that by the time he stopped to pour himself a glass of water from the silver - mounted thermos bottle he felt a mellow man -of -the -world compas- sion for the poor teacher from the backwoods. When the time came for the usual hand-to-hand battle over sal- aries and wages, the fight was hotter even than usual, the second dip of the depression and troubles with investments serving as plain proofs of the rightness of Mr. Wheaton's ideas of thrift. Mr. Wheaton, running his eye down the faculty names, frowned, cried, "All that money for a teach- er of Domestic Science" (he made the words a sneer). The place for girls to learn homemaking is at their mother's knee. Now eat out those two salaries for that 'ool Manual Training and Domestic Sci- ence and there'd be enough to "pay a real salary to a crackerjack athletic coach that'd put my dear school on the map." • (Continued Next Week) Largest Canadian -owned oil com- pany, has two big subsidiaries in the United States, thus reversing the usual practice of U.S. compan- ies having Canadian subsidiaries. CANADIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD by V. C. PORTEOUS * Director ONTARIO PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION This is the first of a series of weekly stories which Vidtor C. Porteous, of Owen Sound, Ont., a director of the Ontario Plow- men's Association, who as their coach -manager, will write about the visit of Canada's champion plowmen to the British Isles, Bel- gium, Denmark and the Nether- lands. ON BOARD THE QUEEN MARY -We are now on our way across the Atlantic. We left the dock in New York about 3:30 a.m. and it is now mid afternoon. The big ship is rolling a little, but not too much and I think we will prove seawor- thy. I hope so, for none of us have been to sea before. By us, I mean Hugh Leslie, of Georgetown, Ont., and Herbert Jarvis, of Agincourt, Ont., the 1950 Canadian champion plowmen and myself. We are heading for the other side to take part in plowing matches in the British Isles and to observe agricultural conditions, and visit historical places there and in Holland, Belgium and Denmark. We are the fifth in as many years to have been awarded all -expense paid overseas trips by Imperial Oil as a result of winning the Esso Champions Trans -Atlantic horse and tractor classes at the Interna- tional Plowing Match. The boys won their trips in competition with county and district champions, and I was appointed team manager by the Ontario Plowmen's Association who sponsor the .big annual event. Besides looking after the boys, one of my jobs is to write a series of letters describing our experiences abroad -what we see, what we do and sometimes what we hear. I hope they will prove interesting to you. But to get this series of letters properly under way I'll introduce the two champion plowmen and myself. By coincidence both of the boys are 28 years old, but Herbert Jar- vis, the gold medal horse plowman, is really the younger. His birth- day was January 3, the day we left Toronto for New York. (Nice birthday .present, eh?). Herb is the son of John Jarvis and is the second youngest of the "seven. plowing Jarvis brothers," Willie, ,Donald, Russell, Richard, Norman, der. The boys were given that title when all of them competed at the East York plowing match in 1947. Norman won that year, but Herb has since won the county championship two years in a row. It might interest you to know that while Herb is an out-and-out horse plowman he works in a plant turning out tractors. But on week- ends Herb plows with a horse on his father's 100 -acre farm. His wife is a Timbers, a member of a fam- ily that includes many champion plowmen, and they have twin daughters, Linda and Donna, who will be three yeas old next May. our trip or you'll think we never got off. The day of our departure was a busy one, what with radio broadcasts, press interviews, photo- graphers and the official luncheon. I was glad that Col. Tom Kennedy, the Ontario Minister of Agriculture was able to drop in for it wouldn't have seemed right not to have him there to wish us luck. But before we knew it, it was time to be at Toronto's Union Sta- tion. Our departure was quite in accord with all the other events of the day, and I must say that the spirit of those friends who saw us off was not dampened in the least by the inclement weather. Platform tickets did not seem to be necessary, for I heard a good many of our friends tell the man at the gate they had reservations on the New York train. I think I heard at least five say they had- lower adlower berth six on car 36, but of course they were not on the train when it pulled out. We had no trouble whatever with inspection at the border as the customs officers were aboard when we left Toronto. Inspection was carried out systematically and completed by the time we entered the United States. Altogether our train trip was quite uneventful, ex- cept for the fact that we were about one and a half hours late arriving in New York. It was 11 a.m. when we got into our rooms at the Biltmore Hotel. By the time we contacted Peter Kinnear, of Standard Oil, New Jer- sey, it was almost noon and he invited us to have lunch with him and a group of his associates. Mr. Kinnear is a former Ontario boy, having been raised in Cayuga. We were taken to the Luncheon Club in the Rainbow Room of the R.C.A. Building, Rockefeller Cen- tre. This is on the 65th Boor, about 800 feet above ground level. After lunch we were shown New York from the top of the same building. It was quite a sight! Later we visited some of the of- fices in the same building, where one of the radio networks record- ed an interview with Herb and Hugh for use the next day on a farm broadcast. We also had some ,photographs taken with "Dagmar," a well-known television actress. Naturally this was enjoyed by all -even myself. In the evening we had dinner, a smorgasbord, at a Swedish restaur- ant. There was everything you could think of to eat, and plenty of 'it. Later we toured sections of Greater New York including Wall Street, Brooklyn, and the wharves. We certainly enjoyed every minute of it. All too soon it was 11 p.m. and time to go aboard the Queen Mary. We regretted having to bid our new friends good-bye. Once on board the Queen Mary we stayed up and watched its pro- gress out of the harbor. At 4 a.m. we passed the Statue of Liberty. By live we were pretty well- out of sight of land, so we waved good- bye to North America and made for bed. In my next letter I'll tell you more about life aboard this giant ship and of our first days in Eng- land. (Continued from Page 2) should also be fat enough to grade into the top categories of Grade.

A commercial starter ration of 21 per cent pro- tein (Quite• possibly a ration. of 25 per cent protein would be even more satisfactory during this per- iod) was used for the period of rapid growth and fed for the first nine weeks, and during the last three weeks, a finishing ration of 13.25 per cent protein and 92 per cent fat was fed.
