The Huron Expositor, 1951-07-06, Page 1• •• a hl Ninety -Second Year . i9hole Number 4358 SEAFORTR-i, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1951 NEW ST. THOMAS' CHURCH -WINDOW IS DEDICATED Robt. Archibald Unveils Memorial On Behalf Of Family. A. memorial window was unveil- ed, Sunday morning in. St. Thomas' Aeglii+an Church and dedicated to the memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Archibald. The un- veiling was done by Robert Archi- balds, Tuckersmith, on behalf of the Archibald) family. Ass&ating Mr. Archibald were Rev. T. Dale Jones, St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and Rev. W. A. Jones, the rector. The contrasting colors vividly depict the figure of Christ holding a lantern, • and with upraised. arm, knocking on a door. On the out- side edges of the window are the two stone tablets bearing the Ten Commandments, a baptismal font, chalice and a Bible. An interpretation of the mean- ing portrayed in the window re- veals a sharp contrast between the old idea of salvation by law (the Ten Commandment Tablet) and the idea as suggested in the New Testament that salvation comes only through one's own desire to want it and to receive it. It is sated that the door in the picture ifnas no method of opening it from the outside, signifying that the door to salvation has to be opened from within.

The annual twilight meeting of the Huron County Holstein Club was held on Braejarr Farms, Kip - pen, owned by Drs. Jas. T. and Gil- bert C. Jarrott. Members were warned to forego selling their Hol- stein cows for beef at high prices which may have , reached their peak. Douglas 11. Hart, of Woodstock, addressing more than 125 members, said "it would be unsound -to go from milk into beef. Beef is at its peak now, or at least we think it is at its peak, and in all prob- ability beef prices will drop,' he said. Dairy prices are not inflated and chances are present prices for milk will be maintained, if not im- proved, he said. Mr. Hart, a director of the Ox- ford County Holstein Club, said he felt "we would be making a ba•d mistake to switch to producing beef cattle." Breeding cows with beef bulls would also be an error, he said. "I don't think we'll find a drop in milk prices as (we will) in beef prices." One of the highlights of the eve- ning was the inspection of a 11/2 - year -old bull, Glenafton Excelsior, which was bought for $5,000 when 12 hours old by the Jarrott broth- ers.

M. Fusee, 232 Douglas St., Strat- ,:ord, who unitel with members of their family, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Mr. Fusee was sales manager 'of The Robert Bell Engine & Thresher Co. Ltd., Seaforth, for 32 years. and is well known in town. The . jubilarians vividly recalled horse and buggy days and amilingly said, "There were no automobiles at that time." They voiced the opinion that some of the modern inventions were for the better, but seemed a little dub- ious about others. The anniversary event was mark- ed by a family dinner at the Old Homestead, near Shakespeare, and in the evening the celebrants held a reception at their home when rel- atives and friends called to offer congratulations and felicitations. On July 3, 1.901, Mr. Fusee was married to the former Lucinda Jackson at the home of her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Elias Jackson, inCountyofkerman the Dun- das.In Both Mr. and Mrs. Fusee are natives of that county. The couple went to Stratford on Oct. 7, 1919. Mr. Fusee was engaged in the cheese -making business for ten years in the Brockville district and was in the implement business for 40 years. During that period he was a travelling salesman for The Robt. Bell Engine & Thresher Co. After a successful career with that company for about 32 years, he retired in November of last year. Mr. and Mrs. Fusee a e members of the United Missionff ry Church and take an active part in the work of the church. Mr. Fusee holds the office of treasurer of the Trustee Board, and his wife is a member of the Women's -Mission- ary Society. , The celebrants have a family of six daughters and two sons, includ- ing Mrs. J. F. (Ola) Foster. Cleve- land, Ohio; Mrs. A. E. (Marguerite) Gillies, Collingwood; Robert Fusee. Brantford; Mrs. Maynard (Ruth) Hallman, Hamilton; Mrs. Edna D. Brubacher, missionary in Nig- eria, Africa; Mrs. Leslie (Clara) Crowley. Omaha, Nebraska; Fred G. Fusee, Montreal. There are also 21 grandchildren, and one great- grandchild.

Seven varieties' of soybeans were planted and the project was car- ried on . in cooperation with the Department of Field Husbandry, O.A.C., Guelph. This year three acres. of the 5 - acre field to the north of the school, were seeded; Three separ- ate mixtures of clovers and grass- es were sown one mixture in one acre, a second Intxture in the eec- ond acre and a third mixture in the other area. Ip each case oats were also sown as a cover crop. This work, was a co-operative ef- fort of the Huron Crop improve inent Association, the Seaforth Ag- ricultural Society and our own school. Mr. R. G. Bennett., agri- cultural representative, has co-op- erated with this work. in nddi:ion to Mr. Bennett, Mr. R. Bolton. Mr. L. P. Plumsteel and Mr. Rudd dill a considerable amount of work in connection with the seeding. On a fourth acre we sowed al- falfa and trefoil. Half of the .latter seed had. been treated and the re- mainder was not treated. In addi- tion, rod row tests are being con- ducted with 21 varieties of grass- es and clovers. tach variety has been planted in two different plots of three rows each. An area of ap- proximately three-quarters of an acre has been set aside for a crop rotation, Fertilizer tests will be carried on here. • Raspberries and strawberries are in tfie garden. Various vegetables have been planted in the school garden. More gladioli bulbs and dahlias are being planted this year, An order of perennials was re- ceived this spring and •the border in front of the school garden was extended to the north. The peren- nials that. have been planted in re- cent years have done well. Last September more peonies were put in. 3. Planting of Shrubs and Flow- ers About the School Building.— More tulips were planted last Oc- tober and they have made a good showing this spring. Cannas will be put out in the large bed again this year. A. navrow strip, which was formerly a driveway and which is located between the Iaand which was purchased recently, and the former school property, was seed- ed about five weeks ago and the grass is doing well. 4. Care and Management of the School Poultry Flock.—The last week of November, 1950, we ob- tained 20 pullets. These were a Red Rork cross and did very well. They, were sold the last week in February. 5. Incubation and Brooding of Chicks.—Ten dozen eggs were us- ed and there was a 60 per cent hatch. After the third clay an egg was broken open daily and the students were able to observe the development of the embryo. At the end of the incubation period the chickens were distributed to Grade iX atudents who are rais- ing the chickens as a project. 6. Weed Control on the Lawn.— Early in May the front lawn was sprayed with 2.4-D weed killer. An- other application Was made later in the month. The lawn has fewer dandelions, than there were forth= erly. 7. Plowing Matches.—Last fall at the•North Huron Plowing Match ten of our students received prize money. The Senior Challenge Shield was won by Arthur Bolton and John MoGavin, This shie,wld was donated by Mr. W. J.
