In allowing the employees of the Canadian National Railways to choose from their own ranks one member of the Board of Directors, the Government is taking a wise step. No other class of people are as vitally inter- ested in having successful operation of these railways and so it is only fitting that they should have a voice in de- termining the policies governing them. Similarly in the exhibition of live stock, at least three entries were disqualified because the boy or girl had not complied with the regulations, and adults had done the work. Under the widespread manner in which false en- tries are being attempted, the school fair is teaching dis- honesty, and the representative intends that this shall no longer be the case.” An instance of how this is being crashed down on by the new District Representative was shown in the mat- ter of entries for best basket of flowers, quality and ar- rangement to count. Mothers labored about the tables decorating the baskets expecting the work to be repre- sented in a few minutes as being done by the child. All was ready and the last touches given, when Mr. Cockburn stepped forward, lifted out carefully the flowers from each basket thus arranged, and said “Now children come on and let’s see what you can do.” “A new note was struck for school fairs when the District Representative W. Cockburn declared that if the school fair is to survive, there must be more honesty shown on the part of parents who totally prepare exhibits and then present the article as being prepared or made by their child. The false practise must stop, or the school fairs will come to an end. W. R. Cockburn, District Agricultural Representative for York County was commended in last week’s Stouff- ville Tribune for his steps to check deception at School Fairs. Commenting on the incident The Tribune said: Let us hope that the Youth Committee is the nucleus of a second Crusade, a crusade of youth against unem- ployment. That the members of the committee have some- thing of the flair and zeal of those early crusaders is eviâ€" denced by the fact that they are acting without salary, imbued with an ideal and the heart which they feel for the conditions which smother ,youth and threatens to de- moralize a nation. The problem facing it is of gigantic magnitude and cannot be simply solved but it is at least a step in the right direction. The Youth Committee can do much in studying the problem from the angle of the young man and woman. It should be one of the major governmental considerations that the Morale of Young Canada and fu- ture generations should be saved. The appeal for youth should be thundered from every orator’s platform and minister’s pulpit, by press and by radio. There should be a co-operative union of all Canadians with but one objectiveâ€"t0 put young Canadians to work. The mere announcement of such a committee should give heart to Canada’s youth; bring them up from the despond caused by unemployment. Each year their num- ber is being added to as universities, colleges and schools pour out their thousands of ambitious youth trained to trade andthe professions. But as matters now stand they face a blank wall. Youth is fettered to the economic rack; youth is rotting and it is the country’s loss; youth has been stifling, finding no outlet for its boundless ambition; youth must be served and perhaps the Committee might find that solution. At last something definite is being done to help the unemployed youth of the land. Ottawa announces that advise the National Employment Commission on the prob- advise the National Employment commission on the prof.- lem of finding occupations for young people who have been forced to bear the affliction of unemployment. The Department of Highways has for many years carried on a regular campaign to promote safer conditions for children. This work is undoubtedly having a benefiâ€" cial effect, and will be carried on again this year. It is absolutely essential, however, that such efforts receive greater support from parents and motorists if any noticeâ€" able lessening in the present waste of young lives is to be expected. It should also be emphasized here that about the most dangerous place for youngsters is right in the vicinity of their own homes, and parents therefore must assume a large burden of responsibility for their safety. This re- sponsibility does not end with a merely cautionary “be careful.” The children should be instructed in the proper manner of crossing streets â€" to look to the left and then to the right before stepping from the curb. They should be taught the dangers of crossing between blocks, crossâ€" ing diagonally or from between parked cars. Particular emphasis should be given to the dangers of playing on the roadway. The parents can also assist the child by choosing the safest route to and from school. The reason Ior this would seem to be fairly obvious. The children are returning to schoolâ€"full of energy and youthful enthusiasm and, in spite of all parental injunc- tion, in their excitement they may be expected to do things they should not do. They will forget to stop and look both ways. They will dart into the traffic lane without warning, and will be found playing on busy streets. Dur- ing these two months many children with their books tucked under their arms will be getting their first ex- perience in crossing busy corners; others will perhaps be slow in regaining their traffic legs after a holiday away from the streets. The first two months of the school year are almost invariably the most dangerous for the children. A study of motor vehicle accidents in Toronto which may be taken as representative of the experience in other centres show- ed that over a five-year period the average number of in- juries to children between 5 and 14 years of age, during September and October was almost fifty per cent above the average for the remaining months of the year. The reason Ior this would seem to be fairly obvious. A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK FOR CANADA’S YOUTH Mun-thing Rates on Application.

The death occurred in the Toronto General Hospital on Wednesday, September 9th of David Rolley, a life long resident of Albion. Town- ship. Deceased was‘ a- son of the late John Rolley one of the pioneer settlers of Albion, and was born one and a half miles south of Palgrave where he. lived his entire life. He was a strong supporter of St. Al- ban’s Anglican Church, Palgrave, a Conservative in politics and an Or- angeman. He is' survived_b'y his wife and one son Nigel and one bro- ther William at home. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, with services in St. Alban’s Church, Palgrave and interment at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Mr. Carroll also announced that during the latter part of September, James McLean of Richmond Hill, former “International” champion, and now active as a director of the As- sociation and as a plowing match ‘judge, will tour Eastern Ontario to give plowing demonstrations to young competitors who will enter the match at Cornwall. On September 21, he will visit Maxville, where Robert MacKay, first vice-chairman of the local committee for the Cornwall match will be host. On September 22, he will be at Grant’s Corners. adjacent to the land where the meet will be held early in October, to in- struct a group of young farmers in- vited to the demonstration by L. B. Murray, also a vice-chairman of the match committee. On September 24, Mr. McLean will be at Lansdowne to demonstrate the setting of plows and stakes and the starting- of crowns to guests of J. M. Ostler, agricul- tural representative stationed at Ath- ens. “It has been brought to our at- tention,” Mr. Carroll stated, “that several prospective competitors in Quebec, New York and Vermont are under the impression that their ac- tivities will be restricted to ‘Class 20’. We Wish to stress the fact that, While this class has been reserved for them especially, they are eligible to compete in all classes except those which have been reserved for the Eastern, C'ounty Iooal cbmpetitions. With one exception, these are all .to be held on the first day of the match. The other is Class 13 on Oct. 8, which is the competition for the J. Lockie Wilson Trophy. Naturâ€" ally, visitors must fulfil the qualifi- cations for each class as stated in the official program.” Visiting competitors from outside of Ontario will be eligible to com- pete in virtually all classes at the forthcoming match, it was emphaâ€" sized in a statement just released by Mr. Carroll, who is secretaryâ€"man- ager of the Ontario Plowmen’s As- sociation, under whose auspices the four-day event is held every year. The 32~page official program just issued contains a graphic summary of the history and development of plowing from earliest times in Can- ada to the present day. On the back cover is illustrated a team of oxen drawing a primitive plow, while the front cover displays the modern, rub- ber-tired tractor at work. Free copies may be obtained from J. A. Carroll, East Block, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Dr. E. S. Hopkins, chief field hus- band‘man for the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, has been at the property where the match will be held to supervise “breaking ground” for the plots which are to be used for showing “afterâ€"harvest” methods ‘of cultivation. Several different me- thods and implements are being used and the effectiveness of the results will be compared and discussed durâ€" ing the Match. At that time, also, interesting tests will be made to de- termine the amount of power re- quired to draw various implements at specified angles and depths. These results will be graphically illustrat- ed by a “dynamometer,” a recently- in:troducle-d power-measuring instru- ment. The development of this maâ€" chine marks a new advance in agri- cultural science and its appearance at Cornwall will be its introduction to International Plowing Matches. Cornwall, Ont., Sept. 19.â€"Months of careful and thorough planning for the 24th annual International Plowâ€" ing Match to be held near here from Ovct. 6 to 9 are now being translated into actual preparation for this year- ly meeting of chamrpion plowmen and interested spectators. Definite signs of activity are evident on the 175 acres which, within a month, will be changed into 1,700 miles of plain and fancy furrows. !Signs of Activity Seen 0n } Plowing Match Lands Dominion Field Husbandman Starts \Vork On Ground For Demonstrations FREE PROGRAM READY DAVID ROLLEY THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Wm.

Hungerford, of the Canadian National System, while unable to attend, owing to a recent family bereavement, was repreâ€" sented by E. P. Mallory, Assistant to the President, who received the presentation. Other headquarters officers, and W. A. Kingsland, Vice- President of the Central Region, were present. President Hungerford, in express- ing regret at his inability to attend, said that he was proud the Canadian National System is one of the great enterprises to have a contributory pension plan to enable all members of the staff to join with the Com- pany in a mutual undertaking to provide for old age.
