GAMES AND HOBBIES Repribted from a Leaflet issuedby theCommunity Welfare Council of Ontario "In many cases in these days of automatic machinery, our work is not, in itself, interesting, It may be monotonous, the doing of some little -opera- tion over and over,--and over again,--in a long complicated process that individual workers can neither control mor understand. One. can only do his own small part--bliiidly. Our work may impose upon us unwelcome drudgeries, or associations with people we do not like, or be irksome in some other - © way. And for those of us in this plight, a hobby of some sort saves us from the eternal blues and utter discouragement. "v-%-D4 you ever, hear of the man who cobbles shoes in a lowly street in London, England, who has made great' discoveries about the stars? His hobby is astronomy. Then there was the man, Leuwenhoeck, who lived a couple of hundred years ago. He was a janitor in the city hall and kept a little store as well. His hobby was grinding glass to make stronger and stronger magnifying lenses. No one else had done it before. It was just a ho be of his. Yet with these bits of glass and his dedthléss curiosity he dis- covered, for the first time evef, that a drop of water is full- of little animals. Wa call them microbes now. He was the scientific fathbe of such great men as Lister, and Pasteur, and our . Banting. What a hobby! ~~ > I know a fellow who goes down into his cellar once - in awhile, monkeys around with a few tools and a - piece of packing box, and comes up with a game people can play instead of bridge (which may or may not be a recommendation). There is no end to the games which can be. made inexpensively and which can bring pleasure to unoccupied people. & (quotation from the radio address on «J, eisure and Hobbies" by W. R.

Its value has been recognized as beneficial in itself and as a means to various ends, 1 wish I could remember his name.. for example, efficient work, good health, a sane out- look on life, and better social relationships. While a_ great deal of material exists, there are many leaders who are unaware of it, and who are, there- fore, handicapped by limited resources. It is with a view to supplying, in a measure, this need, that the present pamphlet has been prepared. BOOKS (1) Group Games, compiled by the National Boys Work Board, Religious Education Council of Canada. 64 pp., 25 cents.

The Day's Sport We hope that Monday will be a fine day, because it is Civic Holiday, and because that.is Port Perry's Big Sports Day. Preparations are going forward, and every effort is being made to make this Sports Day the best yet. "The program is crowded with events of interest to all lovers of sport. If you are fond of aquatic sports. you should be on hand at the water front at 10.00-a.m. * The program that has been prepared is big. After dinner the events will be put on at the Fair Grouds, and it is to be hoped that you will not become cross-eyed trying to watch two games of baseball--hard and soft, and a horse race, all at the same time, It will keep you busy to see all that is to .be seen. Next comes supper, and time to visit your friends: The day is completed by a street fair and a street dance, where under gaily colored lights you may trip the "light fantastic." And the beauty of the whole thing is that you may enjoy the whole day's sport for a quarter. You will be welcome. SUNDERLAND On Sunday and Monday, July 22nd and 23rd, the. 100th anniversary of Antioch School House (one and a half east and one mile north of Sunder- land) was celebrated by a large num- ber of former pupils who gathered from many points for the historic oc- casion. The present school house erected about sixty years ago is of frame con- struction. Th first school, built 'of logs, stood across the road from the present building and was known as "Mosher's School" being built on Mosher's farm. The celebration on Sunday was of a religious character: The preacher was Rev. M. C. McLean, of St. Catharines, who was born near, received his early education in this school and after- wards returned as teacher of the school. } The service opened with singing 121st Psalm, led by an old time choir. Psalm 103 was read by Mrs. William Wright, a former pupil and an active worker in the Sunday School that was held in the school house. Miss Merle Wood, a former pupil and teacher, read an historical sketch of the re- ligious activities, the Sunday School, the singing school, prayer service, and church services' that were held here for many years. Mrs. Brandon, of Galt, a former pupil and Dr. Mac Johnson, rendered a beautiful duct, "Blest be the Ties That Bind." Then. to the memory of those who had passed on, the large assembly stood with bowed heads: The Lord's Prayer was repeated, followed by a beautiful duet by Dr. Johnson, of Cannington and Miss Laura Johnson of Blackwater, accompanied: by their mother Mrs, G. W. Johnson, a former pupil. After singing "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" the Rev. Mr, McLean delivered an appropriate and scholarly address, basing his remarks on the passage from Genesis where Jacob re- turning from his wandering, built an altar, pitched his tent and dug a well. After singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" the Rev. Mr. Ken- nedy, of Sonya, pronounced the bene- diction. The celebration was continued on Monday when the history of the school was read, addresses were deliveerd by former pupils, and a program of sports was run off. "A Dance in the evening concluded the "celebration. There is on exhibition in the school house, a fine collection of pictures of pioneers and former residents of the district as well as other articles con- nected with the history of the school, Miss M. B. St. John spent a day last week in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Gordon spent the week end with friends in Toronto. Mrs. Wm. Hill and family of To- ronto is visiting at the home 'of her sister Mrs. W. J. Philp.

Simkin, last week. . of Toronto, ig Miss Mildred Mr. Joe. Garnis, last week, attended, the funeral of his uncle, who was one of the victims of that terrible ex- plosion' at Toronto harbour. Miss Nellie Nash and Miss Cora Harvey, of Oshawa, were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Briggs. 'the traflic along this highway was very heavy over the week end, Speed cops were kept busy keeping up with the trafic. 'I'wo accidents occurred here on Saturday. One man going south over the C-P.R. track had a flat tire which caused the car to upset in the ditch south of the village. The man was terribly cut on the head and received medical attention. Another man had his car burned up on the road. Although the attendance was small, a good program was enjoyed at the W.M.S. meeting held at the home of Mrs. Harrison, last week. The vice- president, Mrs. Hudgins, was in charge. After the usual opening ex- ercises and voll call, readings were given by Mrs. Hudgins and. Mrs. (Rev.) Honey- Mrs. Luery gave a splendid paper on the fifth chapter of the Study Book.. A duet was rendered by Mesdames Lane and Harrison.

HORSE RACES AT PORT PERRY ON AUGUST 6th > Arrangements have been made for an extra attraction--Horse Races at the Fair Grounds, on Civic Holiday, August 6th. 6 horses have now been entered with the possibility of a Tth being here. No extra charge for this new feature. PRINCE ALBERT The meeting of the ratepayers of this School Section, which was held last Thursday evening appointed Mr. H. Hope as trustee in the place of Mr. B. Midgley who has moved to Cartwright. Other matters were dis- cussed and we understand another public meeting is to be held in a short time. Mr Morrison is to do the school painting. "The temperance address given by Rev. R. A. Sanderson, of Whitby, on Sunday, was well presented. He showed the treacherous lead of the freer use of beer and wine and of the increased drinking of it among our young women thus eating into the core of the purity and morals of the future homes of our beloved Province. The Women's Association which was held last Wednesday, July 25th, was very poorly attended, perhaps because of the extreme heat and also because of it not being announced from the pulpit. The many friends of Mr. and Mus! E. Williams were shocked last Sunday morning to hear that Mrs. Williams Fad passed away suddenly on Saturday evening while visiting her neighbour Mrs. Morrison: Mrs. Williams was apparently nicely recovering from a severe illness when she was seized with a sudden stroke and passed away. Having assisted Mr. Williams, often in the store and Post Office, she was known by all, both she and her hus- band having lived in the community for a great many years. She was of a bright, cheerful and happy disposi- tion, a great worker not even stopping when her health demanded it, and con- tinuing in spite of the persuasion of her family and friends. She was al- ways interested in the work of the Church being an active member of St. John's Presbyterian Church, Port Perry, but always assisting and enter- taining the Women's Association of this village. Mrs. Williams will be much missed by her many friends and to her husband and family we offer our sincerest sympathy. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, Mr. EK. Williams, one son, 'two daughters, and three grandchild- ren, namely Mr, Earl Williams, of To: ronto; Mrs. LIL. Honey, of Honeydale, and Mrs. Lorne Thompson, of Man- chester. Mrs. Williams is the last member of her father's family, she having been Miss A. Brown, of Myrtle, be- fore her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Reid, and Mrs. An- drews, of Toronto, were recent guests of Mrs. Luke, On returning they took Mrs. R- Bond home with them for a visit. We are pleased to see Mrs. Walter Wannamaker who has recently been quite ill able to be around again. The Misses Holman who were holi- daying at/ Lake Simcoe have returned home. ' \ Mrs. Washington and son, Ralph, of Walkerville and 'Miss Ruth Northcott, ' of Toronto, who have been staying at their summer home here have returned home. ' Mr, and Mrs. K. Barr and Murs. J. Karle, of Toronto, visited on Sunday with Mrs. Earle's brother, Mr. B. Woodley. Miss McDermott, of Montreal, who has been holidaying at the home of Miss Sprague has returned home and Miss Sprague's sister and her husband from Aurora are visiting her this week. We are all glad to know that we have a contractor in Prince Albert. I Peg APr= CE GREENBAN Pinedale joined our S. S. for their picnic at Port Bolster last Thursday, ' and it was a decided success: Messrs, T. Brown, E. Lee, E. Bryant and O. Love kindly transported a large num- ber of our people in their trucks. After a dip in the warm water our sports committee supervised the sports. Then over two hundred partook of a sumptuous repast supplied by all the ladies. The evening was spent in football and softball. Some reported that the picnic was the best yet. On Tuesday of last week the Wo- mens Association met at the home of Mrs. Wilson. The meeting was in charge of the Blue Bird group. After the meeting a good program was given then all took part in a contest which was much enjoyed.
