Hurriedly called, there were Durham, the entire Cartwright Coun- cil, viz.- Reeve .C. P. Devitt, R. Byers, Heaslip and Clerk W. Beacock, to- gether with Messrs. Fred Frayer, Lorne Watson, A. Shackleton, J. Mc- Farland, Bower Downes, W. Harran, Overseef W. J. rtyn, of Bowman- ville, Dr. L. B. Williams, who was chairman, with 'Mr. and Mrs. Dave Harran, hosts in their refreshment hooth on the pier. "The chairman on behalf of those present and Lake Scugog's interests generally, expressed appreciation of Cartwright Council turning out en bloc and, further emphasized that what was the specific purpose of the meeting was but a tithe of what were the possibilities of tourist fishing at- traction of the Kawartha Lakes sys- tem generally. This chain of lakes of fresh water, close in as they are to oyr own urban population with teem- ing millions from the United States seeking warranted good fishing, are calling and have been already too long calling for Ontario Government to initiate not sporadic fish re-stocking but a Government policy linked with the co-operation of the- Dominion Government that without a doubt will _not mean the continuance of govern- ment" expense but one of the most lucrative sources of revenue of this Every Government is gegk- ing new source of revenue from taxa- tion while nature is here smiling and awditing harnessing for just that pur- pose without -the stigma of taxation, and' who do you think would in large measure be providing this. treasury chairman, this project would be my baby. !

He said the government was depositing trout in many of Durham stréams, secured from the Coddering- ton Hatchery in Northumbérland County. : The reeve spoke for the Township Council outlining some of the local difficulties which he realized had ex- isted back to the time his father was Ontario representative of this County. The consensus of opinion favored a re-stocking effort with Pickerel since it had already been shown a success in Rice Lake. What were the reasons for former failures here were re- viewed. With the success of muski- nonge stripping for spawn down at Omemee from Pigeon Lake found practical, the meeting was encouraged to future expectations for this lake, Water levels of Lake Scugog at various times of the year were dis- cussed at this date, June 12th. Of- ficial Government figures as furnished by Mr. Dave Harran, the water level is 11 inches higher than last year's corresponding date. It is now 13 fnches higher than last day of August last year. The winter hazards of pos- sible thick ice without occabional thaws and rainfall were discussed. In dealing with the carp menace, a number of the local men thought not so much damage was done to the fish- ing as to the lake vegetation such as rice and wild gelery, the abundance of which now due to carp activities had! proved a death blow to duck shooting. Finally a delegation was named con- sisting of Councillors Byers named by the Beeye who would be at County Council segsions, Bowes Downes, Dave Harran, Lorne Watson, Fred Frayer, Dr, Williams, introduced by Mr. Ww.

HOW to KILL (Oshawa Times) Always cultivate the idea that you can do hetter in some other town, Denounce your merchants hecanse they are trying to make 4 living here. "Glory in the downfall of any man who has done much to improve your own town, Get all you can out of the town and the merchants, but spend your money somewhere else, 4 . Tell the merchants that you can buy elsewhere cheaper, you probably can't but charge them with being exortion- Ists anyway, " Always believe everything that ped- dlers and specialty agents tell you and buy from them, You could no doubt, do better at your own stores but dont ever, ever do that, i If a stranger stops in town tell him to go on to the next place; . Call your merchants And the plage where you live, as the meanest i earth, : p Always have your mind firmly made up before you go into any of your own home stores, that you simply can't get anything to suit you there. And now after havid religiously done all of the ahove, you ought to have the satisfaction of very shortly jecing your town reduced to a small burg with possibly. a general stare, a service station or twe, and a post office, "All this may not have enhanced the value of your property any or im- proved your own living conditions, but you don't care. | Lake [Aap Scugog with Fish. Agricultural Conventi A convention of Agricultural Fair directors for District No. 4 was held at Lindsay on Tuesday afternoon. . This district in- cludes Fairs at Oshawa, Orono, Oakwood, Lindsay, Peterboro, Cartwright, Port Perry, Apsley, Port Hope, Bobcaygeon, Norwood Millbrook, Beaverton. . Mrs. Mitchell;"of Port Hope, presided and called the roll, which showed a very representative attendance. Port Perry took the lead in.,the number of delegates--ten in all." These included Mr. W. F. Thompson, president; Mr, Norman Ewers, secretary; Mrs, Grant. Christie, Mrs. Bert. MacGregor, Mrs. M. Beare, Mrs. S. Farmer, Mrs. Fred Raines, Mr. Frank Shepherd, Mr. Lawson Honey, and Mr, S, Farmer. ir : Mr. Carroll, Superintendent of Agricultural Fairs for Ontario, was the-chief speaker. - He expressed pleasure because of the large attendance; but noted that many Fair directors who most needed information, did not attend these conventions. The chief part of Mr, Carroll's speech was devoted to the dis- cussion of the problem of the professional exhibitors at Fairs, who frequently dominated the exhibits and the prizes to the great discouragement of those who were younger and less ex- perienced.- He thought this latter class should be encouraged in every way possible, The suggestions were made--1. That the prize money be stretched out to give a greater number of prizes. 2. That no person be allowed to take more than one prize in a class. 3. That if financially possible, two classes be made in each department-- one for professionals and one for amateurs, _ In the discussion upon this phase of the subject two facts were stressed. First that the professional exhibitor, who gathered up exhibits and made a circuit of the Fairs, might become a menace to the succesgof the small fair; second, that the entire exclusion of those who won prizes at the big fairs would tend to lower the tone of the Fair. All exhibitors need the incentive of the best that can be produced. That is the way that excellence is attained. If prizes were largely given for those exhibits which have an immediate market value in the district, there would be a ten- dency to discourage professional exhibiting. This principle would apply in all departments. What is readily saleable, because of its utility and its excellence, should be encouraged by the Fair Boards. a y Speaking of prize list arrangement, Mr. Carroll said that where changes are made, possible exhibitorshshould be notified well in advance, so that they might have ample time to prepare S=hipits in accordance with the yequirements of the revised prize ist. ; ; : Everything possible should be done to encourage local com- petition. If a dozen exhibitors raise foals in a neighbourhood and show them at the Fair, that exhibit will he watched with keen interest to see how those foals will be placed by the judge. Folk in that neighbourhood will have been talking about those colts for months. * Membership of Fairs is best built up in this manner. When the small exhibitor has a proper consideration, you can tell him-- This is your Fair, you ought to be a member. Those ribbons and diplomas become the prized possession of many families and are a real stimulus to good farming. It is something to discover that all the good things are not done in cities, The reputation for high class products will last for years. A gold medal farm fifty years ago may still be referred ta as the "gold medal farm," ) The Ontario Agricultural Department, (with this idea in view) has prepared a special Coronation Ribbon in purple and gold which may he used as an extra prize. DISTRICT ACTIVITIES Mr. Carroll urged that Agricultural Societies do more than merely stage a Fall Fair once a year. Many other activities may be undertaken such as the Christmas Fair, Seed Show, Field Crop Competition, Plowing Match, Horticultural Show, ete. Where seed shows and field crop competitions have been held the improvement in farming has been most marked, particularly if registered seed is used, STUDYING THE REPORTS _ Secretaries and directories of Agricultural Fairs were urged to do more than merely send in reports to the Government. Those reports should be studied, Two foundation ideas for the successful operation of Fairs were; 1..To pay out more in prizes than is received in pubilc money--gaovernment, municipal, and individual donation. . 2. To hen considerably less on attractions than is taken in at the gate. au a : Some Fairs get along with great success with but little ex- penditure for "attractions", notably Galt, with only $32 for at- tractions and over $2000 gate receipts. But they pay good prizes. Special attention was drawn to the need for prompt returns of Government reports. It is probable that a penalty of ten per cent. reduction in grants unduly slow in making reports. It is not possible to make an equitable division of grants to Fairs until all reports are received. : : CONCESSIONS : Evidently the bane of the Agricultural Fair is the midway. Constant trouble stares the Fair Board in the face, as sharpers arrive to rah the gullible folk who are constantly anxious to "take a chance." It takes something of an expert to be able to detect all the "skin games which are so profitable to the operator, and so unprofitable to the players, unenvigble reputation in this respect, Cigarette and nail games, palmistry, dice throwing, money wheels, and all slot machines should be barred. TLS Mr. Carroll urged that concessionaires bé required to sign 'a contract to the effect that they will operate their game in ac cordance with the regulations governing Agricultural Societies. This will protect the Directors.' Provincial police are helpful in this matter. Their mere presence is often sufficient to stop illegal practices, CONFLICTING DATES A special committee is to be appointed in District No. 4 to study the matter of dates for Fair days and to bring in a sug- gested schedule of dates beforé the annual meetings, so that as far as possible, conflicting dates may be avoided. Mr. Carroll announced the Provincial Plowing Match at Fergus, beginning October 2nd. Already the Fergus people are busy making preparations for that great event, ' Fairs may be imposed on Fair Boards who are Gipsies seem to have gained an' q. 7 : Among those who visited in the community and attendtd anniversary services on.Sunday were: Mr. and Mrs. Wilson 'Boe and Isabel, Beaver- ton, with Mr. and Mrs. I.

Rev. 8r. Kennedy of Sonya Presbyterian Church had charge of the service in the marning and gave a very inspiring sermon, choosing 'as his text, Deutoronomy 4:9, "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul deligently, lest thou for- get the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons." In the evening we had the pleasure 'of listening to Rev. Mr. Stinson, of Oakwood United Church. Mr. Stinson chose as his topic the "Measuring Line" as found mentioned in Zacha- riah 2:1-2, The vision of Zachariah of a man with a measuring line going to measure the length and breadth of Jerusalem, The regular choir with Mrs. Scott at the organ was in charge of the music, singing two anthems: "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah" and "Crown Him Lord of AIL" A mixed quartette composed of Mrs. W. Keen and Mrs. J, Harding, Messrs, C. W. Moon and R. Owles, sang "Have Thine Own Way, Lord." The report of Tuesday's events will be reporttd next week. The final meeting for the summer, of the "Willing Workers" Mission Band, was held at the parsonage on Monday evening with a splendid at: tendance. Mrs. (Rev.) Flindall will be greatly missed from the Mission Band having spent a great deal of time and thought on making these meetings interesting for the juveniles. At the close of the meeting all those 'who had had perfect attendance dur- ing the year were presented with autographs by Mrs, Flindall, The Quadrata Girls" Club met at the home of Misses Thelma and Evelyn Harding on Thursday evening with an attendance of 25.

Miss Marion Eagleson gave a reading entitled: "Staying On". Miss Ruby McCoy led in two contests. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Flindall was presented with a kindly remembrance on behalf of the Quadrata Girls' Club to which she made a fitting reply, and extend- ing an invitation to all to visit her in her new home in Cherry Valley, Prince Idward County. ; Many car loads of sport fans motor- ed to Little Britain on Wednesday afternoon to join in the Civie Holiday fun, Three baseball games were play- ed during the afternoon, The first, a softball game between Little Britain and: Oakwood girls. The second was a hardball. game between Seagrave and Little Britain; the third, Sunder: land vs. Valentia. Of course, it was the second one we were chiefly inter ested in. Mr. Art Hicks, of Valentia, was the Umpire and was quite fair in his decisions. In the first inning, only one man made the round for Seagrave, two got to second base, Glen Moase was forced out at second, Neil MeMil- lan struck out and Ken Scott was out by the pitcher. Little Britain made two runs in the first, Heatlie and Wicket made the runs while Moore made a three-bagger. In the second, Seagrave didn't get past first base. Britain wasn't much better. In the third Seagrave scored three more runs by McMillan, G. Moase and Wallace. Clarke threw oat at first, N. McMillan at second and K. Scott struck out, Clarke and Lee were too much for the Britains in the third. © Clarke made an exceptionally good play and Lee was right there with the mitt when Heatlie sent one out to the field. The fourth wasn't much for either side. Wanna- maker walked, Lee made a single, but Finley and W. McMillan failed to get past the pitcher. In the fifth G. Moase made a two-bagger besides scoring another run for the home team. Clarke got to third, Wallace to second, The sixth was an absolute out for both teams, In the seventh Doug Wallace scored for Seagrave. Seagrave took it easy in the eighth. Lee was struck out, Finley got out on a fly to third, and McMillan thrown out at first. We say they took it easy but maybe "they wished they hadn't when Moore made another run for Little Britain. In the last inning Clarke made a grand right field strike but got out at second; Wallace got to second but N. MeMillan struck out and Seagrave's chance was only two above. Rodman. made-the only tally for the Britains. . Thus the game ended, the final score 6-5 in favor of Seagrave. Seagrave line-up--\W, McMillan, c; J. Finley, p; G. Moase, 1b; N. MeMil- lana, 2b; H.

Some of these boys may become star players. They are making a good start. Final score 17-9, in favor of Seagrave, To-day we are reading the final chapter of the "Old Nip and Tuck". This week will sce the line picked up from Port Perry to north of Seagrave. The wrecking crew is busily engaged on the line just south-now. It scems like olden times to hear the whistle of the old train around 7 a.m. Bring back memories to many who hurried to the station with their supply of milk, racing the horse over the road, not many minutes to spare, or the school scholars who ran across the fields or along the road never giving themselves any extra time. The good old conductors, Moore, Shaw, and Ab- bott, seldom went away and left them, even if they saw them coming some distance back. To many the Old Nip and Tuck has simply been placed in memory's album. The children of to- day have really missed a great thrill, or they would think so if they could just board that train as we did in days gone by, A -- A -- -------- SEND THE STAR TO ABSENT FRIENDS SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. The spirit of the twentieth century is speed. The automobile chug-chugged its tumultuous twentieth century began. Nobody took this "foolish contraption" very seriously. It was a passing fad --a relatively harmless toy for the young bloods of the day to play with --and if an occasional chicken lost its life, the damage could be righted by a few contrite words and perhaps: a dollar. } The fad, however, did not fade. In- stead, the automobile became an all- important factor in modern civiliza- tion, . It is unfortunate that we have 18t vet learned to enjoy this marvelous paying a tremendous price. Year after year the traflic death re- cord grows worse. That it did not improve in 1936, at a time when most encouraging advances were noted in law enforcement and traftic engineer- ing in general, indicates but one think--that highway safety is a per- sonal problem which must be solved by each individual himself, and not one which will yield readily to whole- sole solution. The traflic problem is your problem, Your stake in it is high, for it is your very life. Will you continue to bet vour life, to substitute chance for ~aution and uncertainty for safety, or will you, by driving sanely, do your part to end this senseless lottery ? There is one simple rule of driving that will make our streets and high- ways safe for everyone who uses them: "Drive as you would have others drive." And that simply means "TRY COURTESY" every minute you are behind the wheel of a car, just as you do in your business and social life every day. TTT Tee -- ------ UTICA Mrs. Tingley and daughter of.
