The annual match of the King and Vaughan Plow- men’s Association will be held this week near Richmond Hill on the fine farms of Mr. J. D. Patterson and Mr. A. J. Mitchell. The site is ideal and favored with good weather the match should be a record one. York County has long been noted for its champion plowmen and the work which will be done at the King and Vaughan match to-morrow is sure to be of a high order. No matter what we happen to be doing in life it is a great thing to do it well, and so Plowing Matches cannot *help but be a good thing for the Agricultural Industry and for the farming communities of the province. The aim of the various Plowmen’s Associations is to make good plowâ€" men and to make good plowmen better. The interesting feature of a byâ€"election is that it shows how people are thinking. The indisputable evidence of the ballots of the electors of these three ridings is that people are changing. In good faith they accepted the promises of Mr. Bennett in 1930 that his policies were in the best inter- ests of this country. Those policies have had ample trial and have been found wanting, and sound thinking people, Liberals, Conservatives and men and women of all political affiliations have decided by outstanding majorities in these three ridings that at the present time the policies advo- cated by leaders of Liberalism offer the best way out and give promise of the restoring once again in this fair D0- minion days of happiness, prosperity and security. The match this year being held so close to Yonge St. will probably attract a record number of visitors who will be interested to see the competitors try to excel in the plow- ing of a straight furrow. The season for fowl suppers is here again and the dif- ferent churches throughout the district are advertising these popular events for the coming weeks. For forty cents or a half a dollar one can enjoy a sumptuous repast which at any first class hotel would cost a dollar or more. In addition there is usually a concert or some form of enâ€" tertainment thrown in for good measure. We know of nowhere to get better value for your money than at a church fowl supper. In addition there is a social side of the event which in itself is worth the whole price of admission. Des- pite the depression the Fowl Suppers continue and that’s one thing to be thankful for. Do you remember the thrill of new toys and candy when you were a child? Can you remember what your Christmas would have been without them? Yet many families face this possibility in this year of stress and strain unless kind hearted citizens rise to the occasion and help in bringing happiness to children in homes which are suffering from the distress of present economic conditions. In these times of serious stress and strain when the great majority of people are finding it increasingly diffiâ€" cult to operate their business and maintain their homes and standard of living, and many are finding it absolutely im- possible to find even the necessities of life, people are doâ€" ing serious thinking along political lines. They are not thinking along hard and fast party lines nor taking it for granted that because in the past they have been associated with one political party or another that they must indef- initely continue that affiliation. They are not interested in empty appeals to sentiment or easily misled by cheap political catch-words or old political clap-trap. People are doing their own thinking to-day and thinking seriously along economic lines as perhaps they have never done be- fore in Canadian history. The result of the by-elections confirms the general belief that the great body of the peo- ple are not satisfied with the record of the Bennett admin- istration. , The high tariff policies in restraint of trade and the natural flow of business which has clogged the machin- ery of the industrial life and crippled our basic industries does not appeal to the people. On the other hand the ex- tensive promises and radical demands of the organization known as the C.C.F. have little appeal to the sound think- ing people of the Dominion. The electors in these three widely separated constituencies have chosen the middle course of Liberalism in preference to the re-actionary pol- icies of the Bennett government or the radical policies of the C.C.F. The results we' believe indicate a true cross- section of Canadian public opinion and the people of Canada are looking hopefully to the Liberal party to give to this country the many needed reforms in the interests of the great masses of the people, give sane, safe economic ad- ministration and at the same time maintain the established institutions of this country which we all honor and love. It was with this aim in view that the Richmond Hill A.A.A. with commendable public spirit entered the Buck- ingham Christmas Toy Contest. In their undertaking the organization merits the wholehearted and enthusiastic sup- port of the people of this district. Save your wrappers and help along this public-spirited organization to secure toys for distribution among needy children; Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Dominion Liberal leader, interprets the triple victory as a decisive demand for a change in Federal policies of government and as a de- cisive pronouncement against the efforts of the C.C.F. group to impose socialistic measures upon the administra- tion of the Nations’ affairs. “Nothing could more clearly indicate the direction in which the tide is swinging in all parts of Canada” is the observation of Hon. Vincent Mas- sey, outstanding statesman and scholar and the head of the Dominion Liberal Federation. The fact that the result of by-elections usually favor the governmJent in power tends to make the results of this week’s by-elections in three Widely-separated constituencies all the more convincing. In the three constituencies the Liberal candidates were returned and the verdict of the people in these ridings is a clear indication of how the peo- ple of Canada are thinking toâ€"day.

Miss Mary Forfar gave the Bible reading. Following the devotional exâ€" ercises and transaction of business a debate of wide interest provided exâ€" cellent entertainment. The subject was “Resolved that an old maid is happier than a married woman.” The affirmative was upheld by Donald Gladden and Mildred Forfar, and the negative by Donald Kennedy and Ruth Large, the former having won. We trust the effect on our young folk will not be discouraging. Here’s hoping, for the sake of the parsons. The snow clad trees and hedges actually made us think of Christmas.

An inter-school baseball game was played in Morgan Park, Markham, on Thursday, Oct. 12th, between Agin court Continuation School and Mark- ham High School. The girls played a seven innings game, the score be- ing 20-11 in favor of Agincourt. Fifty boys and twenty 1 guests were in attendance. Several from Agincourt attended anniversary services in Oriole United Church last Sunday. In the after- noon Rev. W. W. Jones, Millbrook, deputy grand chaplain Ontario East, was the preacher. Newtonbrook choir provided special music. In the evening Rev. E. B.

Rev. Friends of Mr. Francis Weir were sorry to learn of his misfortunea as he was motoring from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Bendale, on Monday evening about 6:30. Driving north along the side road (Midland Avenue) at the level C.P.R. crossing about 200 yards south of Agincourt, Mr. Weir stopped his car on seeing an east bound train come into sight. As soon as the end of the caboose Iwas over the crossing, he started to} cross the track, when the shunter en- gine backing towards Leaside, hit his car. Mr. Weir who was badly cut about the head by glass was taken to Dr. C. D. Farquharson’s office. He was removed to his home, where his condition is now regarded as favorable. don’t watch out, Tuesday night, Oct. 3lst.

ONTARIO twenty leaders and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Weir and family spent last week at the home of Mr. Weir’s father, Mr. Francis Weir. Agincourt mixed quartette sang at the Presbyterian W.M.S. thank offer- ing meeting, Richmond Hill, on Tues- day evening, and with the trio at Ballantrae United Church, Wednes- day evening .

Cameron Kennedy and Bill Kennedy were among the competitors at Brook lin Plowing Match on Wednesday. The Adelphe C.G.I.T. progressive supper, Saturday evening, was a de- cided success. The girls under the leadership of Miss Jean Leslie had soup and crackers at the home of Miss Betty Gibson; pork and beans at Miss Agnes Davidson’s and ice cream and cake at Happy Newall’s, Mal- vern, where the girls spent a real jolly evening. It all sounds good enough to make us hungry right now. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sanderson, Mrs. Hartman Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Jones and Miss Trail of Toronto were visitors with Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Mi]â€" roy last Saturday afternoon. Mr. Bert Kennedy attended Galt Plowing Match on Monday. L.

The October meeting of the J.W.I. was held last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Wm. Clarke with an attendance of over fifty. The sewing done by the girls club was on exhi- bition and great credit is due the girls and their leader, Miss Mabel Stewart, for the fine quality of their work. Guitar selections by Misses Ruby Lunau and Gladys Dyke were much enjoyed. The skit on “Table Eti- quette’ presented by four girls of the Unionville Jr. Farm Girls was both amusing and educational. The guest speaker, Mrs. Kennedy, spoke of her trip to the Maritimes, and showed many views of interesting places vis- ited by the party on their tour. She described many of the beauty spots, the fine old churches, and the his- toric places visited. She spoke very highly of the character and hospital- ity of the people of the Eastern pro- vinces. Mrs. Baker moved a vote of thanks to all those taking part in the program. Lunch was served by the hostesses, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Middleton and Misses Irene Wright and Mabel Hord. There is altogether too much of this contemptible vinnainy going on under our very noses. We hope the thieves who perpetrated their work and get- away so well, will eventually be called to a halt and made suffer the con- sequences. Misses Lorraine and Lois Rise- brough spent the week-end with their aunt, Mrs. G. Kelly. Something, still more cold-blooded was the theft of Mr. A. E. Kennedy’s entire crop of grapes in broad day- light, while he and his family were at the School Fair, Agincourt. Mrs. A. Duncan, Mr. and Mrs‘. Al- fred Smith and children spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Padget. Mrs. James Thomson Miss Hattie Smith, Toronto, was a week-end visitor at the home of Mrs Kelly Sr. The other day two barrels of apples were picked at Mrs. John Doble’s and left outside her kitchen door. Next morning when Mrs. Doble went out, she found that the apples had been picked up in the night by thieves. So beware!

B UTTON V ILLE Before the discovery of insulin, the only treatment for diabetes was diet, and mild cases are still controlled by diet alone. The more advanced cases are treated by diet and insulin. In- sulin is not a cure for diabetes. It supplies the body with the substance which the normal pancreas furnishes, and it must be taken regularly, being injected under the skin. Insulin does»J Many mild cases of diabetes are detected when apparently well per- sons present themselves for medical examination in connection with life insurance, or for a periodic medical examination. These persons are the fortunate ones, for they are given the chance of early treatment and so avoid the dangers that attend the un- treated, advanced stage of diabetes. Situated close to the outlet of the stomach is the gland known as‘ the pancreas. The pancreas produces an internal secretion, insulin, which al- IOWS the body to digest and use cer- tain foods. The old idea that in dia- betes, or the absence of the normal supply of insulin, the blood turns to water, comes from the fact that one of the first signs noted by the dia- betic is that the amount of urine is considerably increased as is the fre- quency of voiding. Further, there is a thirst which seems impossible to quench, and, in spite of an increasing appetite, there is loss of Weight. Within the body lie certain glands which pour their secretions directly into the blood stream. These secre- tions are particularly powerful, and any abnormal condition which results in the alteration of one or other of the internal secretions, whether this be in quantity or in quality, gives rise to serious disorder in the human body.

Properly used, insulin has allowed to live many who, otherwise, would have died. It has made an active life a reality for many diabetics for whom diet alone had to be so restricted as to leave them weak and incapableof working. Insulin permits the young diabetic to live; before its discovery, the younger patients had but little hope. Every case of diabetu re- quires medical supervision in order that his or her particular needs may receive proper attention. The diabetic who follows the in. structions of his doctor with regard to diet and insulin may expect to live a long and useful life. Because he has to take care of himself, he my outlive the nonâ€"diabetic. It is not easy to adhere to a diet. This is something for all of us‘ to remember in our contacts with diabetics; we- should help them, not tempt them, in their adherence to what they have been told and what they know is best for them. not replace dieting; it is always used in combination with diet.
