James Keens is chairman, and Ar. thur Pack is the other member. Ratepayers attending the annual meeting, Wednesday, January 4, moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Cunningham for his services to the section. He expresse'. his apprecâ€" iation of the co-operation of the school board and ratepayers and stated he had enjoyed the work and was certain King school is one of the best in the inspectorate. Tak- ing office Mr. Belknvap said as a parent and ratepayer his first in- terest lies with those who seek early education in the rural school. Trustee Appointments Secretaryâ€"treasurer Raymond Burt presented the financial 'state- ment which shows a substantial balance over 1948‘. Outlining a problem anticipated in the future, Mr. Keens said possibility of over- crowded ciassrooms due to increas- ing' enrolment will doubtless have to be confronted. Taking a long distance view of this matter, which is now common to many growing school sections, co-operative con- sideration of the best methods of handling any increased schoal pop- ulation would be required.

Forgetting the bird was perched on her head, Mrs. Belknap opened an outside door and away flew budgie blue, up and on to the trees overhead. Mrs. Belknap hunted for hours on end, assisted by neighbours, sighting the bird more than once. Even with the cage in hand, coaxing and calling, the little creature was apparently confused by freedom and steadily growing colder in the chill winter atmosphere. Hours of waiting failed‘ to bring the bird to the cage hung outdoors and stocked with good suet. King City Cemetery Company will hold its annual meeting at King, on Saturday afternoon, January 21.

But due to a misrepresentation of the initials they start to play right into the girlt’ hands. ' Evening finds George baby-sit- ting for the Macks with‘ both Peg- gys literally on his hands.

SLED POTATOES GO TO URUGUAY Carrying a full cargo of Cana- dian certified seed potatoes comâ€" posed of 100,000 crates of Katah- dins and 15,009 bags of Pontiacs, the MIV Tacoma left Saint John, N.B., recently‘for Uruguay. The cargo supplied by leading New Brunswick growers and represent- ing 280 cars of potatoes, was in- spected before loading by members of he Official Seed Service of Ur- uguay as well as by officials from the Canadian Department of Ag- riculture, Division of Plant Pro- tection, Saint John. Canadian certified seed potatoes grown in New Brunswick have proved to be highly satisfactory to growers in Uruguay, Until the introduction of the Pontiac variety, the Katahdin was favoured by growers there, but at present the growers in that part of'South Am- erica show a preference for the Pontiac variety. Under their conditions, the Pontiac is more blight-resistant than the Katahâ€" din, and gives a better yield of higher quality tubers under dry conditions. Uruguayan growers also show a preference for small- sized seed, which runs from 11/2 to 3 ounces. In terms of bushels. the total consignemnt of certified seed pota. toes from New Brunswick to Ur- uguay in 1949 shows £6,678 bushâ€" els of the Pontiac variety and 217,- 500 bushels of Katahdin; â€" a total of 284,178 bushels, which is the largest shipment to go to Uruguay in any one year from this prov- ince.

I W, A newspaper is just like any other comInodity. Its sellers expect to get paid for what they deliver. They must collect if they expect to stay in business and to pay wages, paper bills and the thousand and one other costs which are involved in the production of a newspaper. ' At the present time, however, there happens to be another reason why The Libral is anxious to bring its subscription lists up to date. It hopes to join, shortly, an internationally known organization which specializes in the auditing of newspaper_circulation for the benefit of advertisers, giving them the guarantee that the ad- vertisements which they address to a publication’s readers are actually reaching the number of readers claimed. But under the rules of that organization subscrip- tions, in order to qualify, must be upâ€"to-date. Therefore we are asking those of our readers who happen to be a little behind in their subscriptions to look at that label and to assist us by sending in the remittance which will put then} in _good standing.” 1- ___L uv Ullvaa -_. 0--.. ., We hardly needhtibflsa; that the co-operation of sub- scribers will be greatly. appreciated.
