Public School Puy pils Give ~~ © Splendid Footie at Open House On Wedhetday Vevening: of last week a capacity crowd of parents and friends saw the pupils of grades'b to 8 present a splendid program of songs and dances. Greeting the parents was the Principal R. H, Cor-" h, who also acted as M.C. Mus, Isie Dobson, 'Supesvisor of music, and teacher of the singing of the students, was ably assisted by the teachers of the various grades, Mrs. - Lee, Mrs, Cochrane, Mrs. MacFar- lane, Mrs. Beare, Mr. Cawker and Mr. Cornish. Mrs. Hastings was pia- no accompanist. The program consisted of IRI dances and gymnastic display by the boys. The children were well trained and the program: was very interest- ing and worth while. Many parents say that it was the best program they had seen in some time.. The students presented Mrs, Hastings and Mrs. a mark of their appreciation. - Following the program the parents visited the classrooms where the work of the grades was on display. This is always a popular part of the evening as the parents are eager for + the opportunity to see the progress of the child ¢ and to talk with his tea- cher. As usual the work of the students was found to be of a high level, and . showed the effects of the good teach- ing of our Public School staff. In all we have a school of which to be proud. | Minor Repairs fo Causeway this Year The District Engineer of the Dept. of Highways came into town in re- sponse to the lefter from the Cham- ber of Commerce," Port Perry. Mr. Beare, the President, pointed.out. the need for improved conditions on Hwy. TA, stressing the mount of traffic using-this fol re. It had been suggested that the hill between the two causeways be cut down and used as fill to straighten and widen the road as it skirts the end of the island and crosses the Take. However, after some investigation it was considered to be too big a job for the Dept. of Highways own workers, and would need to be let out for con= tract. If this is done considerably more planning and time will be re- quired before the project could he at- tempted. . The Engineers found the Causeway «at this side to be in good condition, the ii Hehiof need being for new guard rails. A section of culvert on the east cause- way has caved in and is being replaced. They promise the usual care, some patching, some cleaning along' side, and a new guard rail. However it seems that any 'exten- give improvements will have to wait. The District Engineer says that he will report the conditions to the De- partment of Highways for their con- sideration. A 7, uv nny "oppor that Honeydale WI.

They know, of course, that the or- ganization is associated with banners,' bonnets, blue uniforms, "king-sized bass drums, brass bands, tuneless tambourines, coffee, crullers and cam- paigns, Or if better informed, they know in a vague sort of way that the or- ganization does good work among the hungry, homeless, heart-broken and: hollow-pursed where society's need is; greatest. . But such knowledge 'is based al- most exclusively on the supplemen- i> tary feature of the Army's program --social service work. "And to pos- sess such knowledge only is to miss entirely the paramount feature of i Army endeavor, to tell and show, by | song, word, and deed, the regener- ating and- revitalizing message of Christ's. gospel. This has been The Salvation Army's primary and persistent purpose in this land, right from the very start. As far-reaching as is its present-! day program of temporal services-- including hospitals, nurseries, orph- : i anages, boys' clubs, medical clinics, maternity homes, _inebriates' homes, | employment bureaux, working men's hotels, industrial homes, clubs for servicemen and other activities--the j whole should be recognized as a oractieal application of The Salvation "Army's dominating spiritual motive.

Tags will cost G60c, each. Mrs. Hill gave some highlights from the provincial annual meeting, held "in Victoria College, Toronto. It was stressed there that camps should be: held in unpleasant weather as well as fine in order to give the girls an 'experience to fit them for world wide "camps, where they have to make the best of facilities offered. 'The group of L. A. representatives (Guide Mo- thers) at the provincial meeting was shown films of the camp at Doe Lake last summer as well as meeting other L.A. members from all over the pro- vince and taking part in discussion of : problems that arose in other centres 'throughout the year. In the even- ing it was the pleasure of all to see 266 girls receive their Gold Cord cer- tificates in Convocation Hall. This seems like a great many girls but not when it is seen in proportion to the membership which is approximately + 77,000 in Ontario. Mr. Webster, Mr. John Leahy and Mr. Gordon Mark have consented to be representatives for the Guide Fa- thers in the Group Committee.

The members of the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club held their Second An- nual Bowling Night at the Causeway Bowling Lanes on Tuesday night, April 20. After some thirty frames of bowling it was decided to give the game back to the Egyptians where we believe it originated some seven thousand years ago. There were no vetoes. Do not misunderstand me, we had lots of fun, and lots of prizes for the good bowler, and the bad bowler and the just plain ordinary shooter. Bowl- ing today is considered one of the more refined tortures of civilization,. and we now have housed it in an al- ley, which is in reality just a narrow strip of board between two wide chasms with you at one end and dis- appointment at the other.
