C. T. Stoles, a member of a relief party, said the tornado struck the building about 12.30 p. m. with more than 200 children in clas- ses at that time. The frame struct- ure was ripped apart and scattered across the country for more than half a mile. The building was swept away leaving only portions of the floor where it stood, stoles said, and were found in a field a hundred feet or more from the building.

' At the annual meeting of the Anti- Tuberculosis Society which was held last night in the Board oi Trade Rooms, the officers and executive oi the previous year were ro-olcotcd. The prevailing note of the meeting which was very largely attended was one of optimism, engendered by the imminent building of a Tuberculosis Banatoriuln-an end for which the organization had striven for many years. Dr. W. J. MacMiilan, first vice president occupied the chair. The first business of the meeting was the reading oi the report, of the district visitor, Miss Amy Earle. Her report. as well as that, of the Secretary is given in full at tho end of this article. ’ , The adoption of the report was moved by Rev. Canon Malone and seconded by Mr, W. F. Tidmarsh. Both speakers commended Miss Earle on the excellence of her report, and on the splendid work on behalf of the sick and suffering, which she had dons during the past year. Tho treasurers report, which was then read showed a. balance of 063,23 on hand. Mr. T. E. MacNutt in moving the adoption of the treasurer’; report, expressed the hope that it might be possible to increase Miss Earle’; sal- ary, which he considered to be Ia)‘ too small, in view of the services shc renderpd. i llevu-"Canon Malone in seconding the report, asked how the income this year compared with that of last year. The chairman in reply, stated that it was $125.00 more than last year, but $150.00 less than in 1926-27. Can- on Malone also considered the meet- ing should express its appreciation of the donation of $100 given by the Rotary Club. -\ The motion was carried. Dr. MacMillan explained that,ow- in! to the absence of the President, (Dr. S. R. Jenkins), in Europe, there would be no formal president's re- port. He remarked on the presence of Mrs. W, E, Bentley, Mrs, W, B. Stewart and-Mr. Tidmarsh, who were charter members. He stressed the importance of tho work oi the Society. Some time ago the question had arisen of its amal- gamation with some other societies. This, however, Dr. MacMillan had opposed, as it had a field of work which no other covered. Its work had increased in thc sphere of charity year by year, unlli now it, perhaps, exceeded in its pro- iportions that, against tuberculosis. The society had a good record. Had it not. been for tho campaign waged by the society for several years, it is probable there might not, have been in this city, any meat or milk ‘iinspection. Dr. MacMillan gave an ‘instance showing the great need oi this. ‘The next step, to make milk lb- solutely safe would be its pasteuriza- tion. _ Another thing which the societv had pressed for was the medical in- spection of schoolchildren. Finally this measure was adopted in n crude form, the physicians impacting school children, until the Red Cross Society took up the work, The work which they had done in the schools had re- moved many oi the physical disabil- ities of the school children, thereby. through the better health engender- ed causing them to mako better pro- gress in their class work. In three or four cases, active tuberculosis had been discerned among school child- ren by this examination. As s. rc- suit, these children were. eliminated from tbs, schools. Ono or the sad features of the work was the prevalence of tuberou- lcsis among children, in whom itl treatment was olpccially difficult, as it is hard to keep the little patients quiet in bed. Now tho sanatcrium will do much to help them. The Gov- ernment deserves very ma; credit for the grant they have given for this institution. And if found necessary, it is up to the people of the brovincc I monument the snot hifmoh ..,._.____,_- “ FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929 Tiiii ARRESTED (Canadian Press) OALAIQ, Ma, May Zr-Dl‘. William D.

The value of the Department of Argiculture to the Province under the administration of both political ‘l parties is the subject of an article | submitted to the press by’ Hon. W. M. Ics, Minister" of Agriculture, who unable through illness to take part in the debates of the Legislative ses- sion this year, has been following the newspaper reports of the proceedings and takes strong objection to the statement of one representative that "he never could see that the country got value for all the money expended in the Department of Agriculture." A statement to this effect was made in the Legislature by Mr. Angus Mac- Phee, Liberal representative for Sec- ond Queens. lvfr. Lea states that the grants provided for agriculture both in the Federal and Provincial departments (Jr promotion of quantity and im- provement of quality of argicultural products have been largely reason- able for the gratifying improvement shown in recent years. He cites the current price of beef, hogs, butter and eggs and contends that ' if a number of our farmers are not prosperlng, it is because they are not ‘producing enough or not the right class of farm animals and products, rather than be- cause there is not a satisfactory mar- ket for these commodities. Calculating the‘ increased produc- tion since 1921 Mr. Lea. estimates that the gain in value of animals and their Products up to 192B is at least $1,500,000. “Does any intelligent man believe," he asks, "that this gratify- ing result would have been realized without the assistance of Depart- mental leadership? Is it reasonable to believe that the hog population would have increased ten thousand in num- bercnd 50 per cent higher in quality bad the assistance of better breeding stock, grading regulations and selling organizations not been established by the Argicultural Departments? would the butter production have increased over $1,000,000 and improved in qual- ity without the assistance of the Dairy Superintendent and dairy graders, and many other forms of ‘assistance and encouragement given dairymen; or would the egg and poultry production have increased $600,000 without the many forms of educational assistance and for stand- lfdlllll! grading and co-operating marketing that has been afforded this profitable industry?" Mr. Lea believes that the greatly improved quality and consequently increased prices may be taken as fairly conclusive evidence that the instruction and leadership given by the Agricultural Departments. both Federal and loan], were in some measure bearing fruit, Emphasis is placed by the Minister on the fact that the live stock indus- Y-YY is undoubtedly of greater value and importance to this Province than ‘h!

I Ontario's oratory champion Lcoi Malena, was born in Tiflis, Russia, where his father was practising law. His mother before her marriage taught in the secondary school oi Tifiis. In 1921 the Malena family with many of their compatriots were forced in flee to Constantinople where for a tin-lo they had a, bitter struggle for an existence. In 1923 Leo was brought to Canada by his parents and for a time lived in, Montreal, At this time the 10 yeari old boy did not, know a word of Eng- lish, but through persistent steady efforts he gained a knowledge of the j English language and ln 1926 when} his parents moved to Ford City, Ont. .‘ he entercdwalkervilie Collegiate, .‘ Here the-boy made splendid progress in his studies and last summer ob- i tained his full matriculation.

He is ; extremely fond of reading and as a debater has won iaurels in a number .‘ of intercollegiate contests, 1 our herds oi cattle, sheep and swine and not tile County fairs. "With the i 52500 saved by cancelling the grants ‘ to the till-e Exhibitions formerly held, twenty good pure bred bulls were‘ purchased by the Department last. year and loaned to Districts, financl- , ally unable to purchase these animals, i Under B 501163’ known as the Controll- cd Breeding Policy, and as a result of g this sysiclrl between 600 and 800 bet- ’ ter ileifer calves will probably be . raised in the Province this season." It i this policy could be followed for four years, one hundred bulls would be owned and would be available in the ‘ Province at the rate of six to each elcctorial district-a policy which, he was firmly convinced, would prove of greater financial benefit than if the money trove expended in a number oi snlnll exhibitions. “Hoivevcr, if the representatives of the people insist ill?"- NQYY little show once started must be continued, we must, have. more money voicd for this DUTDOSE or discontinue our policy of live stock, lmllrovcnlcnt." The answer to a.‘ Qucstionairc sent each club or in- stitute last season brought out 90 per. cent in iaynl‘ of the sire loaning pol-i iry, i Mr. Lea prophesies a still greater increase in our agricultural prodnc. iloll, based upon what has been ac. cnnlpiishcd on many farms and sev- Bml districts in the Province.“ 1f the improved methods there practiced‘ were adopted on all farms possible, we‘ would easily increase our production fifty per cent in ten years or as many additional million dollars." Hg w‘. gests also that the business men throughout the Province might con- rider it in their interests to subsidiga the various arglcultursl organisa. tiohs thus enabling our psfidllcufl o! wealth "to increase to an extant. commensurate with our opportunit- ies." ,_ In conclusion, Mr. Les. expresses deep appreciation "to the ‘ of the legislature on both sides of the House for the consideration that, with one exception. was invariably shown in dealing with the administration of ID absent associa‘ and comrads." 217 Richmond St, FOR.
