The first of these courses was held in the old high school at Newmarket by the first Agricultural Represenâ€" tative, Professor J. C. Steckley, now Director of the Ridgetown Experi- mental Farm and looking over pic- tures of these early classes recently we were impressed with th large number of those “boys” who are now successful farmers. The course is designed to provide agricultural in-1 struction in practically all phases of farm problems. It is particularly ad- apted to young men but many senior farmers are attracted to the course by the 'decfiffiflfi'e‘h‘téd.‘ ' “ Markham Township Councillor elec- ted deputy-reevc for 1949 in last Monday’s voting.

Two urgent questions face the Christian church to-day. Firstly, we must ex- pand our missionary enterprise if we wish to check the rapidly advancing march of communism. The lack of money, is at present the only 01)- stacle which prevents more .miSSion- aries from being- sent to the Orient. Secondly, when the General Council met in Vancouver during: the past summer, it was decided that a cost of living bonus should be paid to all retired ministers. These Soldiers of the :Cross, after years of faithful service. receive an average of six hundred dollars a year, which is most inadequate especially where there is sickness. These appeals demand our urgent attention and your contribu» tion will be credited to Missionary and Maintenance Fund of the local church. Rt. Hon.
