EDITORIALWHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THIS MEETING!

Already discussion is centering on the annual meet­ing of Deseronto Chamber of Commerce which is sched­uled for Friday evening, January 19th. Perhaps the most important meeting of tlhks year, this annual meeting will feature the election of the officers of the Chamber for the ensuing year.

At the last meeting of the organization, at which a bare handful of members were in attendance, it was suggested that the group temporarily suspend, until more support was forthcoming from citizens of the town. That suggestion, did not meet with favour from some of those present, but if present indications are any guide, the Chamber may collapse this montlhi, for lack of interested membership.

One local man Whip has been a member of the Cham­ber for many years, and has always given it all the sup­port lie could, told “The Post” last week, that he saw nothing for it but to close down. Without members he said, nothing could be accomplished. Too many personal prejudices were obvious in the affairs of the group, and too many members only attended meetings, when their own particular problem was on the agenda.

The Chamber of Commerce is something that is vital to tlhe well-being of the town, and it is up to all citizens to get behind it and ensure its becoming a useful group in the progress of Deseronto. Several of the present of­ficers, have expressed their intention not to accept office in 1951 unless more support is accorded them.

The meeting will be held within two weeks. During that time everyone slhiould make up his mind to join the Chamber and pull his weight for the prosperity of this town. Unless some drastic change is noted, we pre­dict that 1951 will be the last year of the Deseronto Chamber of Commerce.

Week Of Prayer Special Service

SEVERAL ITEMS OF OUT- STANDING MERIT PRES­ENTED BY SCHOOL PUPILS.

One of the finest concerts ever given on the Tyendinaga Reserve, by children from the schools there, was staged on Wednesday evening, December 20th, when 125 children present­ed a Christmas program to a large and appreciative audience. The show was presented in four parts with each school taking complete charge of a part.

The program opened with the entire group on stage to sing a welcoming song.

Western School then present­ed ^veral selections in harmony and Gerald Hill rendered a solo. A puppet show, managed by 19 girls, entitled Snow White andi the Seven Dwarfs, wound up the Western contribution.

A short operetta, When Santa Claus Comes To Town, was stag­ed by Mission School, followed by a hymn, sung in the Mohawk tongue, which was highly ap­preciated by the older member of the Band. A skit and several car­ols were also presented by Mis­sion School.

A tableau, accompanied by a chorus singing carols, was the main contribution from Central School. Recitations, by the jun­ior pupils, and dialogues, pro­vided excellent entertainment. High-light of the program, March of the Christmas Trees., in which all the costumes had b?en made by the children, ended the third part of the program.

Both rooms from Eastern School combined to present, the play, A Christmas Story, which wound up the program.

Following the play, the entire group re-appeared on stage and sang a farewell chorus to the audience.

The evening’s entertainment wound up with the appearance of Santa Claus on stage and the distribution of gifts to the chil­dren.

Chairman for the evening was Mr. D. R. Cassie. Teachers of the various schools are: Western, Miss Emily E. Merritt; Central, Leslie Claus; Mission, Mrs. Bord­en Elliott; Eastern. Mrs. Yvonne Marr and Mrs. B. Ross.

The churches of Deseronto, will observe the World Week of Prayer by a service in St. Mark’s Church, at which the ministers of several churches in town will take part, on Fri­day evening of this week at 8 p.m.

The special preacher will be Ret*. W. J. Robinson of Nap­anee. In view of the present war situation, people are urged to join in this service of inter­cession.

PalLbearers were C. W. Duf­field, R. H. Young, C. Brant, G.

eronto. Surviving is a sister. Mrs.L A. Clark of Napanee.

CHARLES E. BRANT

The death occurred in Hamil­ton General Hospital on Wednes­day, December 27th, 1950, of Charles Edward Brant. He was in his 66th year.

Funeral service was held from the residence of Albert Spencer, Shannonville, on Sunday, Decem­ber 31st, with service at AH Saints’ Church, Tyendinaga Re­serve. Interment was made in t>he cemetery there.

Anglican Church Christmas Party

at-Well over sixty children tended the annual Christmas party of St. Mark's Anglican Sunday School, held tn the Sun­day School rooms last week. Gifts and candles were distrib­uted to all the kiddles and a fine supper served.

Following the special meal the children entertained themselves with song and story and a very enjoyable time was had by present.

MISS MARGARET TAITMiss Margaret Tait, a patient

in the Cain Nursing Home and Belleville General Hospital, for the past seven years, passed away in Belleville on Sunday. A native of Picton, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Tait, she had spent most of her life in Deseronto and Picton.

A member of the Anglican Church, she was the last surviv­ing member of her family.

Funeral service was held on Wednesday from the Belleville Burial Company Funeral Home to St. Thomas Church for ser­vice. Entombment was made in Deseronto Cemetery.

Deseronto’s 1951 Council sub­scribed to the oath of office and officially assumed their civic du­ties on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. when the first meeting of the new council was held in the Town Hall. Mayor R. K. Jackson presided over a full meeting.

Opening the meeting. Mayor Jackson told members of council that their duty was to do the best job they could for the town. "I will support all good legisla­tion,” he stressed, “and do my best to defeat bad legislation.”

He went on to express the hope that all members would do the same and pointed out that all town business should be done in the Council Chamber at the proper time. He hoped that all members would endeavour to do this and that all would work harmoniously for the good of the town.

A striking committee, compos­ed of Councillor Howard Haw­ley, as Chairman, and Council­lors Gordon Walker and Hubert Howard, was then appointed by the Mayor to set up the commit­tees for the coming ye^ir.

Following the moving of the slate of committees by Council­lor Hawley, Reeve Neal stated that he felt all members of Coun­cil should have participtaed in the selection, without in any way

। detracting from the merits of the slate which had been brought in, which he felt was a sound one.

Mayor Jackson replied to the Reeve’s suggestion, by pointing out that the Striking Committee had been appointed according to proper procedure. It was a cus­tom, and privilege, that the senior members of council be ap­pointed to that committee, he said, and he had merely contin­ued to carry out that custom.

Reeve Neal also suggested that the Striking Committee in the short time they have been in session, could not have arriv­ed at the various committee mem bers so quickly, and suggested that the arrangement had all .been made previously.

Councillor Hawley, chairman of the Striking Committee, re­plying to t h e Reeve, admitted that such had been the case. He pointed out that, being experienc­ed, he and the other members of •the committee, had realized that they would be called upon to make the choice and had given much thought to the matter ever since the election.

On the motion being put, the slate, as suggested by the Strik­ing Committee, was adopted un­animously.

Councillor Hawley, who is now chairman of the Streets Commit­tee, asked Council to give him every assistance in trying to im­prove the present equipment and staff on streets work. Mayor Jackson suggested that a propo­sal along those lines be worked out by the committee and sub­mitted to Council.

Reeve Neal, on behalf of him­self and the other new members of Council, wished the senior members a successful year and pledged himself to work in har­mony with all other members.

Greetings to the new members was also extended by Councillor Walker.

Committees appointed, with first-named as chairman, are:

Finance: Reeve Neal, Council­lors Walker and Scott.

Streets: Councillors Hawley, Howard and Knight.

Property: Councillors Howard, Hawley and Reeve Neal.

Fire and Police: Councillors Walker, Hawley and Hill.

Welfare: Councillors Scott, Walker and Knight.

Mr. Byrnes was 49 years old and married, had been employed for the past month on the task and was tearing down partitions on the third floor when a gust of wind blew a lath-and-plaster wall over on him.

Recipe For 1951Take 12 fine full-g r o w n

months. See that these are thor­oughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy. Cleanse them complete­ly from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness. In short, see that these months are free from all the past. Have them as fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of time. Cut these months into 30 or 31 equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many people spoil the entire lot this way). But prepare one day at a time as follows: Into each day put 12 parts of faith, 11 of pa­tience, 10 of courage, nine of work (some people omit this in­gredient and spoil the flavor of the rest), eight parts of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberal­ity, five of kindness, four of rest (leaving this out is like leav­ing the oil out of the salad — don’t do it), throe parts of love, two of meditation, and one well- selected resolution. Then pnt in about a teaspoonful of good spir­its, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a jigger of laughter, a sprinkling of play and a cupful of good hu­mor. Bake thoroughly in oven, moderately garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy. then

The public relations office of Cities Service Oil Company Lim­ited announce that Deseronto has been selected as one of the 157 cities, towns and villages to be featured during 1951 on the company’s radio program, “On­tario Marches On”. This program will be aired three times weekly over Station CFRB, Toronto, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.15 p.m.

Compiled from information supplied the company by the local municipal authorities, “On­tario Marches On” will ably out­line the history and progress of this community to some 3,000,000 listeners throughout Ontario, and should do much in bringing ■province-wide attention to our accomplishments.

To mark the occasion of this broadcast, Cities Service has ap­pointed Egbert C. Reed, well- known Canadian artist who was commissioned by the Dominion Government during the war to do the portraits of Generals Montgomery, Eisenhower and other military leaders, to execute a life-size charcoal portrait of Mayor R. K. Jackson and ar­rangements will be made as soon as possible following the broad­cast, to have an official of the company present this portrait in person to his Worship, on behalf of the citizens of our community.

SEVERAL HIGH SCHOOL i PUPILS ALSO ENTER. ‘ TAI NED LARGE AUD- i IENCE. >

Many Accidents On Local RoadsMar ChristmasHIGHWAY TWO WAS SCENE

OF MINOR MISHAPS ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

A very large audience was J present when the Home and School Association staged an ex- ■ cellent “Talent Show” in the Par­ish Hall on Friday evening Dec­ember 22nd. Mrs. R. K. Jackson acted as chairman assisted by George McEwen, principal of the Public School.

The large majority of the var­ious numbers were presented by public school pupils, while a few of the senior pupils also took part. Mrs. Jackson explained that all of the young artists appear­ing had volunteered for the task.

At the close of the long and interesting program, a commit­tee composed of Mrs. T. L. Mc­Cullough. Mrs. A. S. Walker, and Rev. T. F. Townsend was called upon to judge the three best numbers on the program and special prizes were award­ed to the three pupils selected. All who took part were present­ed with a bag of candy.

Clifford John, whose puppet- show is becoming well-known and popular in the area, was presented with the first prize; Bernice Kimmett, who rendered a fine monologue, was second; and Georgina Gilbert, who gave an excellent dance routine, was third.

The Home and School Associ­ation is very grateful to Mr. C. W. Duffield, who loaned his pub­lic address system, and to the Santa Claus Committee of Deser- onto Chamber of Commerce, for a donation of $10.

The candies, which were dis­tributed to all children present, were donated by Mr. Schroeder and both Holmes Dairy and Rose­bay Dairy donated sufficient chocolate milk to supply every­one in the audience.

Icy conditions in the area over the Christmas period resulted in a number of motor accidents in Deseronto, fortunately none of which resulted in serious inju­ry to the unfortunate people in­volved.

On December 30th, the Hose­bay Dairy truck, driven by A. Gordon of Napanee was struck while parked on No. 2 Highway. No charges were laid against James F. McAuliffe of Lonsdale, who had struck the truck while attempting to pass. Because of the icy road, he had skidded into the left rear-end causing dam­age amounting to $125. His own car was damaged to the extent of $50.

On Christmas Eve, a car be­ing driven east on the highway by Floyd D. Stringer of Trenton, attempted to pass a car driven, by Mrs. Una Townsend of R.R. 5, Forest, Ont., but seeing the road was not clear endeavoured to pull back. In so doing, he alle­gedly struck the Townsend cat- causing $150 damage and $35 damage to his own auto.

At about 9.30 the same even­ing G. M. Clare of Windsor, was driving east on the Highway when a car driven by W. E. An­derson of Belleville, pulled out of Brant Street, allegedly with­out stopping, and struck the Clare car causing $50 damage. The Anderson car did not stop and the driver was apprehended later in the evening. He will be charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

Licence Plates Now On Sale

T. L. McCullough, local issuer of licences and motor vehicle permits, placed the new 1951 plates on sale on Tuesday of this week. The plates have blue figures on a white background, and after the discussions early in 1950 as to whether or not the crown insignia was to be left on them, apparently the Highways Dept, decided against it, and so this year only “Ontario—1951” will appear with the lettering.

Service Held In Christ ChurchIMPRESSIVE CANDLE-LIGHT

SERVICE HELD ON SUN. DAY.

The annual Candle-light Carol Service of Tyendinaga Parish was held in Christ Church on Sunday evening, December 31st. with Rev. R. N. Savary presid­ing.

The A.Y.P.A. choir rendered the anthem. “Hark, What Mean Those Holy Voices,” and a quin­tet sang “Silent Night”. The church was beautifully illumin­ated with over one hundred candles, and the choir also car­ried candles in the procession from the chancel. A large con­gregation was present.

No evening service had ever previously been held in the church, which has no hydro pow­er. The church has a large red warning light installed on the spire for navigational aid at the nearby airport, and the Rectory, home of Rev. R. N. Savary, which is adjacent, is supplied from the same power line.

The church itself, however, has never been wired for hydro power, and as far as can be re­membered, it has never been used for an evening service.

Mrs. Ross SoxsmlthMany years ago the late T.

P. O’Connor, an Irish wit, in an after dinner speech gave a dis­sertation on the characteristics of the various races of the world. Of the Russians he said, “One Russian genius; two Russians revolution; three Russians chaos.” Of the Germans: “One German a worker, two Germans an organization, three Germans a war.” And so on through the va­rious nations and then with a twinkle in his eye said: “One Englishman a fool, two English­men a club, three Englishmen an Empire.”

One subsequent speaker at that remarkable banquet de­clared that the reason two En­glishmen formed a club was in order to blackball the third when he tried to join!

The English race is noted for its clubs and one from time to time reads and hears of such famous names as Athenaeum, St. James’ and the Garrick. The club Is exclusively for men used as a refuge from the maddening crowd as well as from their wives. They originally were us­ed for heavy gambling but now there is nothing more strenuous than Bridge and most of it even Auction Bridge, at that, proving their reluctance to give in to modernization.

These clubs are often the butt of American jokes. Concerning the staid Athenaeum an old member is supposed to have rung for a servant and said, “Would you mind taking that gentleman away, He’s been .dead for two days”.

The Turf Club is supposedly so exclusive that you often see a member dining by himself!

For many old bachelors the club is really a home and when it shuts down for two days at Xmas they wander the streets like displaced persons who have lost hope.

Combine sugar, water, vinegar, syrup and salt. Cook to very hard-ball-stage (265°). Add but­ter and coloring. Pour over popped corn. Form into small balls. Wrap in celophane or alu­minum foil and hang on the Xmas tree for treats for visit­ing wee folks. Help keep the tree from looking too shorn.

RATESEFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1951

The Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada has

rendered judgment on the application we made in October,

1949 for our first general rate increase in 23 years. The Board

has now ordered new rates that will replace the temporary

rates which it authorized in its interim order last July.

NEW RATES FOR

DESERONTO

FAIR and REASONABLE RATESThese rates will adjust the temporary rates ordered by The

Board of Transport Commissioners last July, and in most cases will result in only small differences.

While some rates will increase, others will not change or will decrease. The changes and adjustments provide reasonable rates that will fairly reflect the difference in value of the various classes of service.

Business and FinancialOutlook for 1951

Ii.V ROGER W. BABSON1- Excluding defense orders, the total busl- ??SS,„Y°lume ln 1951 wi» be than that

However, National Income in 1951 111 oe the highest ever recorded, as war

orders take the place of peace production and high prices prevail!.

More Government Controls Coming2. The outstanding feature of 1951 will be the eVerdncreasing interference of the government in the lives of businessmen and consumers.Th . . • • '■VHOUlUCli.

convinced that" raJv*0? -and lts econotnic advisors are firmly ' n.n . Ju Ca‘ ,nfIation about to break out next

yeai. But the brain trusters” are overlooking the fact that the boom is already old and that it was creaking badly when the Korean 11 ar broke out. War postponed the downturn which would have taken place much sooner. The date of the slide has only moved ahead.

. Rushing to catch up on its neglected defense program, the .■ dmuustration is anxious to shrink business volume to an unnecessary degree. Efforts at first will be along the line of tighter credit curbs, such as restrictions on mortgage and installment loans and increased bank reserve requirements.

5. As 1951 wears on, the effect of credit controls will cause a decline in legitimate business. Civilian production will decline more than armament production will increase. The public may then cry, This is a government-made slump; let’s get rid of the controls!”

6. If in 1951 it becomes evident that business is declining too fast as a result of government curbs, the planners at Wash­ington may rush their patient into an oxygen tent.

Labor Outlook Will Continue Tight7. Most labor groups will not be successful in getting a

sixth rotind of wage increases in 1951. Although there may be more strikes in the first part of 1951. there will be fewer for the whole year as compared with 1950.

8. Tightness in the labor supply will be continued as the year wears on, particularly of highly-skilled workers.

9. The Taft-Hartley Law will not be repealed during 1951 but may be amended. The Administrators of the law will continue to wink at some of Its clauses.

Conununity Prices Will Remain Firm10 Wholesale prices of many commodities will be marked by

a mild decline in 1951 when compared with the price level for December 31, 1950. In some lines the drop may be quite steep from the high levels of late 1950. Retail prices for 1951, I do not now forecast

11. The year 1951 should prove an excellent time to keep a tight grip on inventories. Commodity speculation for the rise will not pay in 1951. Furthermore, our expanding stockpiles of strategic materials present a real price threat in the event of a peace scare. Such stockpiles could then act strongly as a de­pressant on prices.

12. The cost of living will remain high during 1951. This prediction recognizes that living costs next year may be above .the lower levels that existed during the first half of the year now closing.

Farm Outlook Good13. Farmers’ income for 1951 should average no less than

that for 1950. Since the trend in the first half of 1950 was down, this forecast is not so optimistic as it might otherwise seem, for there is likely to be a weakening of the farmers’ income position during the latter part of 1951.

14. Barring crop failures, the total supply of food available should be larger in 1951 than for 1950, since the government will raise planting quotas as part of its attack on inflation. If the weather is extremely favorable, the government will be blamed for farm-price weakness during the latter part of 1951.

15. With prospects good for a rising supply of feed grains, meat, however, will be held up by continued high National In­meat, however, will be held up by continued high National In come and by military needs.

Taxes Will Be Higher16. The burden of federal taxes, both corporate and person­

al, will be increased again in 1951. State and municipal taxes will remain high.

17. There will be an excess profits tax in 1951. These excess .profits taxes will be milder than those in force during World War II; but they will be inflationary and retard efficiency, eco­nomy and incentive.

18. There will be heavy pressure for increased federal “sales taxes" to discourage purchasing of luxury and certain nonessential goods. Congress will see the value of some such sales taxes as an inflation road block.

19. States and municipalities will again be under pressure to find adequate sources of revenue. Further increases in such taxes can be looked for next year with additional cities and/or states adopting sales taxes.

20 Despite renewed efforts to increase the long-term ca­pital gains tax above the present 25% figure, rates will remain unchanged.

Domestic Trade Will Be Less21 Credit curbs will cut into the demand for automobiles

and household equipment. Completions of fewer dwellings will also act as a damper on furniture sales.

22 Falling demand for hard goods should mean a stabiliza­tion of the public’s spending for food and lower-priced softg° 23 The trend forecast in No. 22 will mean a decline in de­partment store volume, but I predict a rise in the sales of variety chains and of drug chains.

24 Barring new war developments, I look for continued shrinkage in our exports during 1951. Imports, however, should rise further Total foreign trade should not be much changed, but the exporters will be on the short end of this business with the importers gaining.

25 It will become more difficult to convince Congress that additional heavy credits should be granted abroad except for war supplies.

26 As was the case this year, many domestic manufactur- ers will feel increasing competition from foreign merchandise. The cry for increased tariff protection will be heard again in the ’*ndBuslnes9 and financial forecasts for next year are NOT based on the thought that World War III will start Irrt951. Rus- «la |q certainly heading for war, but we do not believe she now wants it in Europe. She will be satisfied to have her satellites continue taking unexpected jabs at us, while the Politburo boys hand out the soothing syrup. But we may see another episode liko “Korea” in 1951.llKe Kor^Iore Dcf|cit FinancinR After June 30, 1951

„„ The first half of 1951 may actually see a budget sur- , „ .. v«mlt of high National Income and Increased taxa-

Wm Later if Congress goes along with the Administration’s X™ We rearmament, a federal deficit will arise during the last of^e preceding prediction, money suppliesshould not begin to rise until after business has turned down.

Increases at such a time are not likely to have much effect on prices.

30. Government bonds will be held tightly between thefloor of Federal Reserve support purchases and the celling of Federal Reserve antl-lnflatlon sales. Under such cohditions, price changes should be negligible.

31. A great deal will be heard' In 1951 about giving the Fe- ■ deral Reserve Board powerful controls over member bank I loaning policies. Congress Is not likely to pass such controls,

however, unless commodity prices go a lot higher, or World | War III comes.

Stock Market And Bond Outlook Uncertain32. I see nothing now to indicate that we are entering a

period of improved international relations. The danger of war remains. Until it disappears, wise people will move out of large bomb-vulnerable cities and avoid having investment in such areas.

33. The Stock Averages may work somewhat higher during the first half of next year, but sometime during 1951 they will sell lower than current quotations.

34. Stocks now in the best position for 1951 should be those that have not been popular as inflation hedges in the past months.’ I like good chain store stocks.

35. Investment Trust funds, pension funds, and insur­ance companies will provide an excellent backlog of demand for sound Income Stocks where good values can be demonstrat­ed.

36. The successful investor next year will be the one who follows a carefully planned investment program. Such a program will emphasize diversification—not only by company and industry, but also by quality. Overconcentration will not pay in 1951.

37. Highest-grade taxable corporate bonds should hold in a narrow price range during 1951, but I see no reason for indi­vidual investors buying them. For my forecast for long­term government bonds, see No. 30 above. The only corpora­tion bonds which interest me are CONVERTIBLES.

38. With income taxes slated to increase in 1951, tax-ex­empt bonds should continue in good demand. There has been some speculation in these, however, and any downward change in the tax outlook might .cause a sudden turnabout in prices for municipals. Investors should see to it that their bond ma­turities are carefully diversified, with some part of their bond funds maturing each year.

Real Estate Activity Will Decline39. The real estate outlook for 1951 will be strongly af­

fected by curbs on mortgage credit. 'Much of the recent boom was the result of easy credit,—almost nothing down and small easy payments for years hence.

40. New home construction will suffer a greater decline than other lines. Nonessential commercial building will also be ■hit.

41. The coming decline in new building will throw a wet blanket over speculation in vacant suburban lots.

42. The scare caused by the Korean-China War and fears of an early outbreak in other sections will adversely affect the demand for big city real estate. Lower business volumes and the Draft next year will also curtail such demand.

43. Small sustenance farms should hold up well in price as demand will be spurred by those seeking refuge outside the big cities. Demand for large commercial farms, however, should weaken as the year progresses.

44. The swing back toward rent control will act as a fur­ther damper on new building. There is no incentive to build homes for rental income.

45. Tighter credit controls /will make it more difficult to purchase older residential properties, and the prices for these should weaken.

46. As building volume slackens in 1951, the quality of available materials and workmanship should improve. This will help those who have saved their money and can pay for at least half the cost of a hew home.

Defense Orders And Politics will Increase47. Those who can do so should attempt to get defense

orders as a means of holding up production volumes and re­ducing overhead. Not too much profit from such war busi­ness should be expected, however, as these contracts will be subject to tightfisted renegotiations.

48. The political outlook for 1951 will be completely domi-

nated by jockeying for position in1 the Presidential race for 1952. Most of Congress’ time will be spent on International Problems; but either War or Peace could come early in 1951, which could1 make many of the above forecasts useless.

49. In Domestic Matters, despite recent election changes in party alignment, Congress will still be dominated by a conserv­ative coalition of Northern Republicans and “unregenerated” Southern Democrats. When the heat is on in a tough fight, the North-South coalition will still be able to curb onslaughts by New Dealers .

50. We are gradually headed for a One Party System and finally a Dictatorship. The 'Republicans will sometimes win with the slogan “HAD ENOUGH?”; but their reign will be short-lived. Too many persons are following the pernicious doc­trine of ASKING FOR HIGHER WAGES AND SHORTER HOURS, SPECULATING IN STOCK AND GOODS, GROW­ING RICH ON PAPER, VOTING DEMOCRATIC FOR SEL­FISH REASONS AND LETTING THE COUNTRY GO TO THE DOGS, WAR OR NO WAR!

SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE:The United Nations will withdraw from Korea during 1951.

again meet in the evening as the afternoon meetings had proved unsatisfactory. Brown Owl Joyce Benway, Tawny Owl Joyce Flem­ing and Recruit Winnie Watson were enroled as Tenderfoot Guides.

Three meetings were held in December with time off for ex­ams and Christmas.

Two events in this New Year were a hike on Jan. 19 when the Patrol Leaders laid a truly twist­ing trail around town and out to Embury’s field where food was warmed over a temperamen­tal fire. The other event was the Penny Party on Jan. 26 at G.H.Q. when the sum of $16.00 was re­alized. The help of the Local As­sociation members, Mrs. G. Rick­wood, Mrs. R. Neal and Mrs. D. Dawson, at the food table, was

of Execution issued out of the Supreme Court of Ontario, and to me directed and delivered against the Goods and Chattels.

Lands and Tenements of WINNIFRED BARBER

I have seized and taken as be­longing to the said Winnifred Barber, the following Goods and Chattels:

All and singular the said lands and tenements situate lying and being composed of the centre third of the south half of Lot 53 in Block B in the Town of Des­eronto. according to a plan of the said Town of Deseronto prepared bv Evans & Evans. O.L.S. regis­tered in the Registry Office of the County of Hastings on Oc­tober 21st,. 1922 as No. 517, and more particularly described as follows, that is to say;

COMMENCING at a point in the Westerly limit of said lot 53. thirty-eight feet north of the south-west corner of said Lot:

THENCE IN AN EASTERLY , DIRECTION eightatihiee feet to a point in the eastedv limit of said lot. thirty-five and three- fourths feet north of the south­east corner of said lot:

much appreciated. >' Proficiency Badges were earn- i

txl — Toymaker. Artist, Latin- . dress, Minstrel, and Pathfinder. Mr. .1. McVicker gave interesiting

land detailed instructions at meetings on Fire Brigade Badge requirements.

On Feb. 16 the Guides held a skating party and patiently took turns supporting their out-of­practice Captain, which effort produced prodigious appetites as evidenced at lunch later at G.I-I.Q. Outdoor observation games were played in March and the last two meetings of the month were cancelled due to ex­aminations.

On April 12 four hardy Guides met Captain at 5.30 a.m. and un­dertook a breakfast hike. The cold wind offset slightly the ro­mance of the adventure but it was fun.

On May 17, we had a most in­teresting visit of Mrs. Mary Bate, a keen English Guider, at our Guide Meeting. She was pleased to enrol Lois Hill as a Tender­foot, and conducted our meeting most enjoyably.

Camp PreparationsMeetings stopped in June,

then after exams, great activity over preparation for camp be­gan. Mrs. G. Rickwood, Ixx:al As­sociation President, gave gener­ously of her time to aid the Guides in procuring their Emer­gency Helper Badges, one of the requirements for camp attend­ance.

Five Guides of the 1st Deser­onto Company attended the Pioneer Camp at Little Lake for 10 days in July. One Patrol Lead­er, Helen Bower, was a junior officer, and the other four, Patrol Leader Marion Crabbe. Patrol Seconds Vera Newman, Marion Aylesworth, Fern Burley, earned the enviable reputation of being the best all-round Guide team in their section, and proudly brought home Guide crests to attest to that fact. They passed several tests and parts of Badge requirements, and all five were creditable campers.

Meetings opened on Sept. 13, with seven Guides, our tried and time, and two Lieutenants, Mrs. N. Dimmell and Miss Edith Green, a former Patrol Leader. On Sept. 27 the Brownie Pack sent six Brownies to Guideland in fitting ceremony and the Guide Company welcomed them most heartily.

More Brownies joined Guides in October and with our added members came added interest and joy in our meetings. On Oct. 11, one Guide who had strayed far from the teachings of the Guide Law, and who since has shown need for and continued in­terest in the friendship of the Company, was presented with her Tenderfoot Pin with the ad­vice to keep both herself and her •pin shining. Patrol Corners time was spent vigorously^ with Pat­rol Leaders and Seconds and re­cruits working on tasks and no time was idly spent.

Lieutenant E. Green has prov-

L*d an able Guider and has taken the Guides on Saturday hikes every two weeks.

November was the month of enrolment. On Nov. 1, Marilyn Harvey and Diane Lord were en- roled. On Nov. 8, Dolores Gard­ner, Phyllis Bender and Rosalie Marks were enrolled. On Nov. 22, when we were pleased to wel­come our District Commissioner, Mrs. Langford, Donna Soal. Di­ane Soal, Carol Fraser, Audrey Sweet and Sylvia Young were enroled by Mrs. Langford.

The Guide Company was on parade with the Legion on Nov. 11. with our new color party, Patrol Leader Marion Crabbe as color bearer, and Patrol Leaders Helen Bower and Marion Ayles­worth as escorts.

The gift of “sit-upons” from the Local Association to the Patrols was greatly acceptable (and for the first time the Com pany may sit in groups on the floor, which is the Guide way).

The end of November found the number of Guides increased to 24, a full six members in each of the four patrols, which is in­deed encouraging, and we feel that the 1st Deseronto Company is at last established and ever­more shall be so, and that mem­bers of this keen and eager Com­pany are not unmindful of their duties and Good Turns as evi­denced in a remarkable report shyly given, on individual Good Turns.

We face 1951 with an adventur- our spirit and know that in co­operation with our sponsoring unit, the Local Association, we will have a full Guide year.

BACK TO NORMALTuesday morning saw most of

the local stores returning to nor­mal with the taking down of the holly and tinsel from their windows and a return to more prosaic displays for another twelve months.

Lennox and Addington Health Unit reports a large number of cases among school pupils of scabies, caused by the “itch” mite. The mite burrows into the skin of various parts of the body and the spread of the disease is only by direct contact with in­fected persons. A number of pu­pils in North Addington have been taken out of school to pre­vent further spread of the in­fection.

A fly’s wings vibrate 330 times a second, while a bee’s wings vi­brate 190 times a second.

"Gat,” the slang word for gun. comes from the Gatling gun which was used before the mod­ern machine gun.

Both the sea horse and the chameleon can move one eye without moving the other, and they can move both eyes in the opposite direction.
