A native of Car- lisle in Cumberland in the northiofrEngland. he came to Canada fifty years ago. He's never been back, although he has kept in touch with relatives there. Incidentally there's a move on foot around the farm on the Don Mills Road to get him to take a trip overseas this year. It may succeed. although he seems to be having fun en- ough at home not to have any particular desire to travel.

Miller gave a talk and millinery display for a group of Mary Lou Miller's friends at Guelph last Thursday. One of a. famous pair of producing sisters is shown above. She is Don Head Duchess Connie who, a. short time ago, became the new Canadian all-time Jersey milk champion with 16,898 lbs. of milk, with 764 lbs. of fat, in a 305-day lactation period. The story of, Duchess Connie, her sister and members of the Mat-‘ thews family of Victoria Square, is told in neighbour- ing columns. Shortly after Duchess Connie set the new Canadian record she was visited by a federal cabinet minister. Seen in the larger picture, from the left, are Leonard Eley,~who works on the Matthews farm; Hon. George Hees, Minister of Trade and Commerce; beside him is William Matthews with Mrs. Matthews. On the extreme right are Don and Mrs. Matthews, owners of the record-breaker. The third generation of the Mat- thews family in the picture stand in front of Mr. Hees and the senior Mr. Matthews â€" Donald Junior and Mary. Just to give an idea of the amount of milk Duchess Connie produces, look at the tank truck in the smaller picture. She would more than fill it in a year.

There was a little at the Royal Winter Fair and, of course, the Richmond Hill Fair. More might be done in the fu- ture, especially because enquiry ies for breeding srtock are be- ing received.

During lent, Dr. Binnington is conducting study classes at Brown's Corners Church each Wednesday evening. Consumption of Jersey milk fell off some years ago, but is coming back. The desire for ‘slimming’ was said responsible, plus the fact that Jersey milk al- ways cost a little more. Now. with the fat content being low- ered so that the demand for two per cent milk can be met, Jersey milk is once more com- ing into its own.
