The time of play is from 7.30 to 10.30 p.m. NON-RESIDENTS ARRIVE AT 4 AM. FOR MARKHAM TWP. PHEASANT PERMITS Prospective pheasant hunters began lining up at the Markham Township Municipal Office in Buttonville at 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning in an effort to obtain non-resident permits. The season opens on Oct. 18th and con- cludes on Oct. 28th. The entire al- lotment of 700 licenses were complete- ly sold out by 12 o'clock noon. Sgt. Wm. Shearn was in charge of issuing the permits.

Magistrate R. B. Dnieper placed Tran on suspended sentence for two years in the first charge of its kind in Ontario County. Magistrate Dnicper said the charge was similar to careless driving, but a higher standard of care is required under the Game and Fisheries Act than the Highway Traffic Act. "Guns are of such a nature as to be inherently more dangerous than an automobile", he said. Jarl James Beverley of Belleville, a Canadian Pacific Railway employee, was riding with three other men on a railway work car near Audley when he was shot and wounded in the head by Tran. : RE ---- DID YOU KNOW ~The first school to "be granted a Junior Red Cross Charter was at Northgate, Saskatchewan in 1915, To- day, 43,328 classrooms in Canada par- ticipate in Junior Red Cross Work. te Yn DID YOU KNOW In their efforts %o promote. inter- national friendship and understanding young Canadians in Red Cross com- municated with youth in 66 countries through the exchange of 421 colourful albums, 719 paintings, 25 tape record- ings, 100 pieces of handicraft and 57 magazine subseriptions, 0 00-- 3 DID YOU KNOW ~~ High sthool students: in Red Cross are active volunteers in assisting at blood donor clinics, in hospital visit- ing, in water safety programmes, at port nurseries and fn many other community projects. Anglican Notes. By: Mary Becker There will be a service of Holy Communion at 8 a.m. this Sunday, Oct. 22nd., followed by a breakfast for the men of the parish. Holy Baptism will be held at 11.30. A euchre will be held in the parish hall tonight. The Young Peoples' held a welcoming party for new members last Thursday night, and tonight will meet at 8 p.m. in the Church hall. The Women's Auxiliary met last week, and there was a baby shower for the mission bale, and also a quilting session held during the meeting. Mrs. Mulligan read the Mnutes of the last meeting and Mrs. Clarke gave the treasurer's report. Murs. Staple, the social secretary, had letters from two people to whom cards had been sent; and she also reported having sent cards to the two families in the parish who have recently been bereaved. It was announced that there will be a Social Service Fall workshop on Oct. 23rd at the Diocesan Centre in Toronto, to which some of the mem- bers are going. There will also be an Educational Conference, at St. George's Church, Oshawa, on Oct. 26. Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Mumford and possibly one or two other members, will attend it. Mrs. Wilkinson read the Dorcas school requisition list of clothing to be made for 1962. . Mrs. Mumford gave the first chapter of the new study book -- "Jesus, Light of the World," and encouraged members to follow it up with bible reading on their own. Mrs. Woods led in the Benediction and tea was served by Mrs. Denton and Mrs. Sonley. this week, and we hope to have a full report for next week's column. The meetings of this group will be held Mondays, starting, Oct. 23rd, due to the high school night classes being on Tuesdays this year. At their monthly meeting last Thursday, the Church School [Teach ers' Group participated in a distussion of the goals of the church school. Af- ter an opening prayer and bible read- ing, the question "What are the weak- nesses of church school teaching as you see them", was put to two groups for discussion. They compared con- | clusions and then went on to discuss "What do you most want your class to get out of the sessions this year?" After another comparison of ideas, an evaluation of the evening's gession, to- gether with questions raised, was handed in. This was the first session in -a ¢eries based on a manual for church schools' training recently ac- quired by Mr. Fuller. The meeting heard Minutes read by Miss Connie Snowdon and a treasur- er's report by Mrs. Bruton. It was decided to buy certain necessary sup- plies, to order weekly offering en- yelopes for January, and to place a picture in the nursery classroom. There was a display of pictures, books, filmstrips, flannelgraphs and maps owned by the church school; and teachers were reminded to make use of them. Those wishing to use the filmstrip projector on specific Sun- days were reminded to contact Mr. Allen as to when it would be needed. There was a brief discussion of the advantages of the teacher-trainee system started this fall, and the con- tinuing need for substitutes and re- placements. The meeting closed with prayer and refreshments were served by Mrs. Garvey and Mrs. Bateman. The Afternoon Guild will hold a special evening meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 7th at 8 p.m. in the parish hall, All the ladies of the parish are in- vited to attend, whether or not they are members of the various groups. The meeting will be a shower for'the coming bazaar. The ladies of the W.A. attended the recent Afternoon Guild meeting, and joined in the presentation of a gift to Mrs, (McClintock) Harper, who was married on Oct. Tth. --- The parish was very much saddened to learn of the death of Thompson Chalmers (Chum) Whitby recently, only two weeks after his father pass- ed away.

District Churches SCUGOG, MANCHESTER, PROSPECT UNITED, CHURCHES Last Thursday the Ladies of Man- chester and Prospect visited Fairview Lodge, and provided a lovely after- noon for our senior citizens. There was Worship conducted by the Presi- dent Mrs. Ruby Fielding, followed by musical numbers, readings, solos, and a sing-song. Refreshments were pro- vided also, which gave an opportunity to visit and talk with many. We are glad to think that our W.A. is one amongst many who are engaged in this worthwhile work. We have good reports of our Anni- versary Services at Manchester last Sunday when Rev. Philip Romeril of Blackstock was the Guest Preacher. Extra chairs had to be brought in at the Morning Service. We extend our sincere thanks to all who had a part in the Services--the flowers, and the music, and the generous offering, and the inspiring Messages. We do need these Anniversary Services in all our Churches. Very shortly we will be having Anniversary Services at Scu- gog commemorating the Fifth year of Church Union on the Island, when Grace Church, Head Memorial Church and the Indian Mission became SCU- GOG UNITED CHURCH. Following the pattern of last year, we shall have the Morning Service at 11.00: a.m. in Scugog "Head" Church, when Rev. N. T. Holmes B.A, B.D. of Harmony United Church, Oshawa will be the preacher, and Scugog Senior Choir will lead in song. The Evening Ser- vice at 7.30 p.m. will be held in Scu- og "Grace" Church, and the Rev. Frank H. Ward, B.A., Minister of Westmount, Oshawa, will preach. We are again fortunate in having The Lyric Male Choir of Toronto to sing All who have heard this Choir of male voices will want to come and worship with us. Scugog Anniver- sary will take place on Sunday, Oct. 29th. On that Sunday the clocks will be turned back an hour, and we will revert again to Standard Time. On Sunday, October 22nd will be the end of our Summer Schedule whereby we have had three Morning Services. We shall never get an hour to suit everyone yet we think, from the re- sults we have had for a number of Summers, that the Morning hours are the best for Rural Churches, as well as for Cities. There are Sundays when our first Service at 9.15 a.m. was not well attended; but taken over the period we must say that Prospect certainly responded. How can we have a Church without sacrifice and devotion! The Sabbath is not spent to the best advantage if we do not make provision for worship. On Nov. 5th therefore, we will return to our Winter hours of worship' namely-- Scugog 10.15 a.m.; Manchester 11.15 'a. m.;. Prospect 1.15 p.m. We are glad that our Choirs are coming to life again, Services of Worship are so 'much more inspirational with the help of our Choirs, We hope to resume shortly the work of our Prospect Choir. Our Guides and Brownies and Cubs 'are under way again. Through a mis- funderstanding our Guides and Brow- nies were left out in the cold for a 'short time last Monday for which the 'caretaker is very sorry. We hope to have some provision made soon for our 'Scouts. Saturday, Oct. 21st will be Apple Day for our Packs & Troop, and we hope that the weather will be favourable, and that our boys will have an enjoyable time.
