But life is not made up of such things, Some of it is grim, That last is what makes schooling the order of the day, Life never stands still, The children of the present will be the controlling, achieving citi- zens of later years, Hence the schools, that the needs of the future may be met, that the men and women of tomorrow may be efficient, capable men and women, ONCE IS ENOUGH Executives of the Canadian National Exhibi- tion acted wisely in announcing that they will stage no more swimming marathons. It is to be hoped that this decision will not Le altered and that the example will be followed gener ally. The marathon held on August 31 was inter- esting because of its novelty. Those able to see nearly three Hundred swimmers start the twenty-one mile struggle received a mild thrill, VAR AE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1921 but after that it was deadly dull relieved only by eccasional flashes of interest, The marathon's good effects are negligible, A few here and there who never thought of swimming either as recreation, art or road to fortune may be tempted to learn something of Neptune's realm, On the other hand, the harm- ful effect of the marathon lies chiefly in the injury to human dignity, The men and women who left the race within the first ten miles could not do so without thinking worse things of themselves than the sympathetic crowd could, It isn't good for humanity to be defeated in anyting--Ilove, war, or a swim in Lake On- tario, Man has reached his present proud posi- tion chiefly through ignoring his physical in- significance, The fact that one man did win in record time merely adds emphasis to the failure of nearly three hundred others who from the first fifty yards on had to admit that it was too much for them, WELL PLAYED, ST, ANDREW'S Oshawa has reason to be proud of the lads composing 8t, Andrew's baseball team, After winning the championship in their own division, these kken young sportsmen went up against the Toronto McCormicks' team in a playoff for the right to contend for the championship of Ontario in the Junior O,B,A,A, McCormick's proved themselves the better team, and the lo- cals accepted honorable defeat at their hands with the pride of men who know both their abilities and their limitations, At the same time, Oshawa amateur sport en- thusiastis will remember that the St, Andrew's team in 1926 won the Ontario championship in the juvenile section, Promoted this year to a higher place, they gave a splendid account of themselves and came very close to another dis- tinctive triumph, All of the members of St, Andrew's team are local youths, They have been associated in clean and wholesome sport for several years. They have brought honor to their home city which in turn honors them for their keenness and splendid spirit, Defeated without bitterness, these young- sters are already looking forward to the next season, They prove the paraphrase of a fa- mous quotation which might run: "It is better to have played and lost than never to have played at all," "Marital vacation" is a euphonious term for whichever it be, whether a temporary or per- manent separation, 'Teacher says-- "Remember your Parker Duofolds ¢ 4 u~let's start the New Term right!"

The funeral, it was decided, will be military in character, both as a tribute of affection to one whom every officer and man of the Ontario Regiment honored and to Sgt. Huxtable's long military service in Imperial and Canadian forces. His medals included the Khedive's Star for Kitchener's famous campaign; the Queen's Egyptian Medal, Indian Fron- tier decorations, and the King's medal for the late war. Saturday's tragedy cast a profound gloom over Ontario Regiment which arrived in Port Perry on Sunday for the two military tournament to which the unit had heen invited as guests of honor, The full program was carried out true to the Army's tradition of keeping its griefs to itself, but from officers' mess to Guard Tent campfire, the shadow of a great sorrow and comradely grief were everywhere au evidence, The late Sgt. Huxtable is survived by his widow and two sons, W. H Huxtable Jr, the elder son, lives a 103 Court Street, James Huxtable the younger son, is at home. Veteran of two wars and several In dian Frontier campaigns, Sgt. Hux table met his death in one of those accidents which from their very sim plicity seem absurd, The truck in which he was riding with 15 member: of the Ontario Regiment's advance party, was proceeding very slowly a: the driver was not familiar with the town, That fact, probably, accounte for the sergeant's death. The trucl was provided with benches for the party, but m order to give the drive directions, Sgt. Huxtable was half standing, half sitting, on the slatted | side of the truck with his feet on the bench. District Shocked Port Perry and district was pro foundly shocked by the tragedy, an citizens are already taking steps to d all that a generous and loyal com munity can do to comfort the suryiy ors, The funeral arrangements complet: ed on Sunday were made hy Lieut. Col Frank Chappell after conferring witl the late sergeant's sons. The hody lay in state at the Disne) undertaking parlors on Monday, an early today it was removed to th band room of the regiment which, for the occasion, had been added to the late sergeants quarters. It was the | band's request that the body of thei comrade and friend should he in stat in their own quarters, for in all mili tary ceremonials involying the Onta rio Regiment band Sgt.
