He also served on Whitby Town Couneil, . In 1902 Mr. Bewell located at Ros- ser, Manitoba, where members of his family were already engaged in farm- ing.

DIES I ANNUAL SKATING RACES The annual skating races at the Port Perry rink were not largely at- tended. The big events were the contests for the Bruce Campbell Trophy Cups. In the senior event there wo-~ ° contestants, and the race was won by William Mowat, only two finishing the race--the other skater being Jas. Mowat, brother of the winner. There weré five contestants in the | junior event--boys 15 and under. Dave Dowson won this race, with George Mowat a good second. Just two finished in this race too. The hockey matches by the juniors provided plenty of 'entertainment. There were plenty of subs, but the rules. ofthe game were occasionally suspended. - Nobody seems "to know whe won, but they all enjoyed the chocolate bars, provided by the Rink Company. After the game, one of the boys whd' was supposed to be on the losing side said that he scored all the goals. Perhaps that is the way the game was intended to be played. The names of the teams and positions are unknown. The following were the other races and winners: Boys under 10--1 Arthur Asher, 2 Boys under 15--1 Motley Doubt, 2 Dave Dowson. . : Girls under 15--1 Jean Switzer, 2 la PRINCE ALBERT A most unique and interesting ser- vice was held in the church on Sun- day morning, it being quarterly ser. vice.

If you can figure where these merchants can sell cheaper than they do in our Village you ought to apply for a job with Premier Mackenzie King as his Finance Minister.

It is a marvel of good taste in artistry and industry of achievement. It is impossible to speak too highly of" it. The book represents years of effort, typographically and pictorially, it is a "masterpiece." From cover to cover it is embellished with group pictures of championship teams from 1888 to 1924, in fact, the history of Canada's Great National Winter Sport is told in pictures. Old-timers will be interested in the handsome halftones of the teams who were prominent a generation ago, while the younger enthusiasts will en- joy the reproductions of the more recent winners. trated, but is literally crammed : much interesting information ing individuals- clubs and throughout the country.
