BEACHNEWS THE COVE Mr. and Mrs. Barrick entertain- ed friends at their new cottage, "Grey Sennen" on Saturday night before their return to Cornwall. Mrs. Albert Copp with her daughter, Mrs. Nuke Reid and her grand-daughter Joyce, are at "Summerhaven." The Labor Day week-end saw the trek homeward of the Orms- bys, Harraps, Simpsons, Barrs, Flemings, McCartneys, Carltons, Whites, Whatmoughs, Barricks, Gordons, Leslies, Pitfields, Nashes, Foxes, Gages, Suther- lands-a happy group who all ex- pect to return next year. The Chapel-on-the-Hill Sunday morning's downpour failed to dampen the ardour of some thirty loyal Beachers who answered the King's Call to Pray- er. Their meeting place was the living room at Cove Cottage which was draped with Union Jacks and was resplendant with baskets sent by Ernie Passant. Albert Ball of Cedar Crest gave a deeply spiritual address, sketch- ing rapidly the history of the Israelites, stressing their failures due to disobedience to the Divine commands. By inference he showed the British Empire as the people chosen today to fulfil God's purposes, pointing out the dangers in the approaching years if we fail to seek and follow God's will. As the piario was submerged in its winter wrappings, Grey Bar- rick, as precentor, led the sing- ing, accompanying with strings; the hymns were chosen by the worshipers. If such singing were heard in every hamlet of our Commonwealth, surely the day of victory can not long be with-held. The Cove people again say good-bye to the town people and thank them for all their kind co- operation in making holiday time a period of renewal of strength so necessary for the strenuous days ahead. A RAFT SPEAKS (Contributed) I am a solid little raft made by Ernest Churchill from cedar poles cut from Stephen Jeffrey's cedar swamp. For seven summers I have kept my ears and eyes open and can explain why the marvellous stretches of the Bowmanville, Cove, and Cedar Crest beaches show such a scanty number of the w:ater craft usually seen at most summer resorts. Not a summer of my life bas passed that some passer-by bas not watched his chance in the darkness to remove me. More than my value in money and labor has already been spent in rewards to bring me back to my boy owners. One night a passing cottager was just in time to save me from a horrible fate at the hands of some Oshawa picnickers who were about to dismember me for their bonfire. Last summer after my return from a capture by three town boys who had drawn me up on the shore near the Canning Fac- tory, a consultation was held within my hearing Voice I-I paid $20 for a raft I bought from Toronto for my youngsters to use when learning to dive. It disappeared, not by an off-shore breeze either. The marks where it was dragged were right here. Voice Il-The first year we came here our four-seated skiff was taken from the beach. We bought another and kept it here under the trees. It went too. No more for us! Voice III-That's nothing. My sister and I saved up for a canoe and made a little boat bouse for it. One morning it was gone. The boys at Schofield Training Camp were blamed; but we have other ideas. Voice IV-Idealist-Ah, this is what happens whenever there is unfairness in the distribution of wealth. Come, Voice IV,-cock your ear to catch the last rembrks of the little cedar raft. After my most recent adven- ture two of the culprits were brought to an interview. "So you want a raft, boys?" "Sure." "Well, you can bave some cedar poles in exchange for some work in my garden." "We haven't a saw and ham- mer." "If~ you're careful, I'll lend you mine."~ "We haven't any nails.' "Here is a pail of old ones: you can pick out what you need." "Naw; it's too much work."
