Archibald, trans: ported canoes and equip ment to Algonquin Park to were of little consequence by comparison. The route they were taking through the park, was mapped out by the Forest Rangers and is one of complete wilder- ness, with no access to civi- lization along the way. The entire trip is akin to the means of travel through the forest that our early sett- lers used. Our prayers for a safe & pleasant journey are with the group. The Ventures are a perfect example of what the youth of to-day should be like. I trust that their muscles hold out. When they return I shall have a full report concern- ing their adventure. Mr. R. Collins, of the Col- lins Stables in Nestleton, has once more displayed his excellent prowess as a horseman. In Campbell- ford on Sunday, Dick's Commercial ponies took four firsts.

The winner of the annual Caesarea golf tournament is Jim Wood. The runner up is Rick Gay. Congratu- lations to each of these men. An unexpected attraction at Putsey Park on Saturday was a baby skunk on a leash, in the. trusting arms of his owner, Arthur Lang. ley. He was as cute as. can be. I must be cowardly, for much as I admired this cuddly little child of na- ture, I was informed that he had not been deodorized so I stood well back. How do I know what he was thinking? The children's parade on Saturday at the Regatta, was one worthy of the par- ents time and effort in making costumes ete. for the occasion. Many of the children made their own. A small boy with limbs of a tree enshrouding _him, bore a sign with the inserip- tion, prevent fire . . keep Caesarea green. Another adorned in a large green garbage bag, bore the sign. "Stop Polution". A black coffin with the inscription: "Dracula and his mummie" was really unique. Dracula calmly reclined in the cof- fin as the mummie pulled him around. The "mummie" 'was wrapped from head to toe in strips of cloth. A tiny boy, no more than two yrs. old was dresed a the jolly green giant, complete with green leaves and all. Two lovely little harem girls were adorable. A little THE WOOD BOYS? These two young grandsons ot Caesarea cottager Tom Wood dressed up as the Wood girls for the children's parade which officially opened the 41st Caesarea Regatta held on August 4. girl with hundreds of ros- ettes adorning her and her doll carriage was very pret- ty. Another doll like girl was Miss Chicklet. Many countries were re- presented by these children with costumes resembling. Africa, Arabia, Canadian Indians and others. There were little ladies dressed as they did at the turn of the century, as a button, as a cripple and many, many more, too numerous to mention. I shall have a complete list of the win- ners in the next issue. The boat races and pre- sentations etc. will be sub- mitted in my next report. By then all the desired in- formation will be available.
