It has been officially announced that Thanksgiving Day and Armistice Day will be celebrated on Monday, November 10th. The announcement has been received with approval by some and with marked disapproval by others who feel that both days, the one set aside for national thanksgivmg for a bountiful harvest and other blessings, and the one to mark the anniversary of the Armistice, both suffer in the merger. Richmond Hill will hold the Memorial Service to mark the Armistice anniversary on Sunday afternoon whidi no doubt will suit the convenience of many. It is however just another compromise which many feel tends to take a- way from the significance of the celebration. There is a great body of public opinion here and elsewhere which holds to the idea that we should have a national thanksgiving day on a day named by the government, and that we should cel- ebrate the Armistice anniversary on Armistice Day, Novemâ€" ber 11th. Discussing th announcement on the joint celebration of Thanksgiving and Armistice Day, the Cowichan Leader of Duncan, B.C., says z+ “Although they originally meant the same thing there has come to be a word of difference between a holiday anu a holy day. Now Thanksgiving Day is a holiday. Armistice Day is a holy day. - ~_._, , It is unfortunate that there should ever have been a thought to make the tw0 Observances coincide. One does not deliberately set out to make one’s wedding day coincide with the anniversary of the death of some loved one. If ever we get calendar reform the matter may be sim- plified, but meantime there will be strong support by all thinking people to the Canadian Legion in their stand for the proper observance of Armistice Day on Armistice Day, not the day before or after to suit holidays, but on Nov. 11. PAGE TWO The custom of proclaiming a holiday for thanksgivmg for harvest and national blessings comes to Canada and the United States from the pious practice of the first English colonists in North America. It is a custom which provides us with one of our annual holidays and it should be perpetuâ€" ated. . The incidence of November 11 in the week may create difficulty and inconvenience, but surely, if Armistice Day means anything it should be worthy of any sacrifice. It would be an excellent thing if the Government would sug- gest that everyone should devote two hours on Armistice morning to attending the community observance of the day. .There would still be some who could not attend but in our View, it is a far better thing for individuals or little groups to halt their work, even for two minutes, at the actual mo- ment of Armistice than for Armistice to be swallowed up in a day which, for the great majority, would be one of holiday and pleasure.” There is the same kind of difference between Thanks- giving Day and Armistice Day as there is between Easter Monday and Good Friday. Unfortunately the proper keep- ing of the latter day has, especially in recent years, been more honored in the breach than in the observance. The end of the municipal year draws to a close with election day less than two months away. The officials the ratepayers chose at the elections haVe served you through- Out the year. They have had your criticism, but have they received your commendation? When they erred they were undoubtedly told of their mistake, but were their actions all in error? Didn’t the most of the year show a big balance on the good judgment side? Did your ofl‘icials hear more of their faults than of their virtues? As they say in a ball game: “Mix ’em up.” If you have spoken your criticism fairly, hard out your compliments on the same basis. Some of your officials are right now, undoubtedly wondering if their services to the community are worth the effort they have made to give them to you. Maybe you’ve admired the individual for his work always. It wouldn’t take much ef- fort on your part to tell him it was appreciated. That word of encouragement might be the means of retaining his or her services for the community in which we are all vitally interestedâ€"Acton Free Press. This year, Monday, November 10, is to be Thanksglvâ€" ing Day and it is planned by some to celebrate Armistice Day on that day. Others are arranging to haVe Armistice services on Sunday, November 9th. Growth of the Canadian Pacific Telegraphs and pressure of business have brought about the appointment of an assistant general manager, a new position, creation of which was made efiective this month. The new assistant general managership goes to W. D. Neil who was assistant manager western lines, stationed at Winnipeg, No. 4 of illustration. Other appointments resulting from this are: No. 3, W. M. Thompson, superintendent, Ontario Division, Toronto, to be assistant manager, western lines, Winnipe ; No. 1, H. S. Ingram, superintendent, eastern dmsion, Montrea , to be superintendent, Ontario division,"l‘oronto; and No. 2, W. S.

Grenzebach, R.R. 7, Wood- stock, is the plowing champion of On- tario. He won that title on the last day of the International plowing mat- ch near Stratford, when he took away first honors in the jointers in sod, op- en. This is the second time he has won the title, having first captured it in 1927. In taking first place this year, he defeated a classy field, including John R. Hargreaves, of Beachville, who won the honor in the‘ Tlast two years. The intel‘county‘ 1championship this year was won by York, with Brant second. There were [14 entrants in this competition and the battle was keen from start to finâ€" ish. The trophies were presented at a largely attended banquet in Strat- ford the final night of the match, at which the chief speakers were the Hon. Robert Weir, federal minister of agriculture, and Hon. Thomas L. Ken- nedy, provincial minister of agricul- ture. TO BE HELD, OFN_‘FARM OF EMMERSON BATEMAN, 1 1-4 MILES WEST OF AURORA FALL BUILDING OPERATIONS i Building operations on the farm‘ during the late fall are confined prin-l cipally to hog houses, poultry houses, implement sheds and other small buildings. Those that have concrete foundations 01' floors can be erected at any time if the concrete is laid before frost. These buildings are in expen- sive, especially if theoowner is handy with tools. Lumbfi dealers have plans and can supply bills of materials and estimates of cost, so that the own- er will know pretty accurately what his expenditure will be. Choosing a site for a hog house or a poultry hou- ise requires care. A high well drain- led spot is best, while the buildings should extend east and west and face south. Convenience in caring for the hogs and poultry also should be conâ€" ‘sidered.

Brownlee S. Hawman Jas. McCallum AU DI’I‘ORS Big Attendance at O. A. b. Registrations at the Ontario Agri- cultural College this fall have mount- ed to a higher figure than during any year since 1919, when discharge from war service released many men to complete their college course. The biggest increase is in the freshman year with an enrolment of 150. The total increase in the agricultural cour- ses is 73. This attendance is taxing- the dormitory and diningroom accom- modation to the limit, especially since the new residence is still under con- struction. According to the Weekly report of agricultural representatives, drought is assuming serious proportions in many parts of the province. Not only has plowing been difficult, but in many sections Wells are going dry. Feed grain is plentiful in most sect- ions and owing to the low prices preâ€" vailing the bulk will be fed to live stock. As a result feeder cattle are at a premium. Mangels and turnips have in most parts of the provmce iturned out successfully for the form- er and a failure of the latter. Live ‘stock generally seems to be shaping 111p well and farmers throughout the province have already commenced 'their winter feeding. Many Middle- sex farmers are now in the west con- templating the purchase of feeding cattle. The report is of a general tone for the entire province, conditions apparently being the same all over.
