They have also debarred from voting all women who were not British subjects when married to British subject husbands. The only way. these women, although British subjects can have a vote is to apply ~ to the Judge and get a certificate that they can vote. What do the women of this British Province think of a Government which puts this stigma upon women voters who are British subjects? A Govern- ment afraid of the women vote, bars as many women as it can from voting. The: Government is afraid of the women vote because of its Beer legis- lation, its taxation, and debt increases, all of which destroy- home comforts and most seriously affect the women. The women are suffering deprivations today in their homes, because of hard times, and now the Government debars as many women as it dare, from vot- ing. It is afraid of the women vote, I ask for the support of all women in this Riding as a condemnation of the Government for its indifference to them and their wishes and for their cowardly treatment of women British subjects in a British Province. A Government that does not give equal rights and priviléges to women has no - right to ask for or expect the votes of women. Let us , have fair play and votes for all who are British subjects and help pay the taxes. Yours very uly, fy W. E. N. SINCLAIR. Myrtle Station The Women's Association held an afternoon tea atithe home of the President, Mrs, 'Roy Thompson, last Tuesday afternoon. -A real good time was enjoyed by about twenty-three ladies who attended.

Girls' Softball Notes If a-good start means anything, the Port Perry girls have a splendid sea- son ahead of them. 24th of May, after overcoming the usual trouble of transportation, the team started for Uxbridge, where a tournament was being held. - Four teams had entered--Uxbridge, Stouff- ville, Greenbank and Port Perry. The first game was between Stouffville and Uxbridge, 'Stouffville being the winners. Then the Port girls had to warm up for a real battle with their old rivals, Greenbank, nings the battle raged, the outcome being 16:8 in favour of Port. That left Stouffville and Port Perry to play- off. The game began in earnest, both teams seftling down to win. The first inning was fairly close, and it pro- mised to be a good game, Then the Port team started hitting. And how those girls can hit when they're in the mood! (We hope they'll have these moods often in the future.) Player after player hit the ball into- the out- field and the runs kept mounting. But of course there had to be a. catch somewhere, rounded by cars except for a small space which led out on to the race track. When the ball' hit a car or went on the race track, the runner could only take one base, so that in reality a successful bunt was as good as a home run that should have been. But Stouffville had this disadvantage, too, so it really didn't make much differ- ence. All through the game the girls kept hitting the ball into the outfield, and run by run the score climbed. The game ended at the end of the seventh inning, and the score was 26- 6 in favor of Port Perry. These 'were Port's first games of the season and may there be more like them. But, as everyone knows, € J there's nothing like the support and co-operation of the home citizens to encourage a team, . On Wednesday evening, May 23rd, a Port Perry, to re-organize the.Ontario and Durham Ladies' Softball League for 1934. Virginia Nasmith, of Port Perry, was elected President of the League and Mrs, H, Stevens, of Osh- awa, Secretary-Treasurer. - Last year the League consisted of four teams--Secugog, Blackstock, Port Perry and Brooklin. This year there are flve teams--Scugog, Brooklin, Ux- bridge, North Oshawa and Port Perry. There will be a single schedule which will be published in the.near future. Port Perry were sucessful in the league last year, but this year--Who can tell? The next game the Port girls are playing is at Mount Albert on Sat- urday, June 2nd. . Last year in Mount Albert, on the 8rd of June, the girls were successful in winning a cup. However, this cup cannot be kept permanently by 'one team until they have won it three years in succession. Lets hope the girls will bring the cup back to Port again on Saturday, The girls will certainly appreciate the in- terest and support of the Port Perry citizens in the coming season, MYRTLE A number from here attended the Brooklin Fair on Thursday and report the exhibits of cattle and horses were the best that the fair has ever had.
