Friday Night (By Whitby Staff Writer) The second annual banquet of the South Ontario Sunday School Softball Association, held in Brook- lin United Church on Friday even- ing, marked the closing of a very successful season of sport for vari- ous Sunday Schools of the district who are in the League. : The banquet, served by the ladies of the United Church, was one which tempted the appetites of the many boys present, the aftendance being over one hundred. League players and officers" were present from Whitby, Port Perry, White- vale, Brougham, Pickering, Scugog, Raglan, Kinsale and Thornton's Corners. Colors of the various teams were prominent in the decorations. During the evening the champion- ship team-of the League, Whitevale, was presented with a neat crest by Grant Ormiston, former _presi- dent of the Association, the hall echoing with cheers as cach member of the team stepped up to receive recognition of good clean sport- manship. : The speaker of the evening was Yrank Fiddler, premier of the Boys' Parliament of Manitoba, a young man of exceptional _ ability, who gave the boys assembled much to think about as he stressed the need for and value of clean sportsman- ship, not only on the athletic field but in the great field of life itself. During the evening Jack Parker, of Whitby, delighted the gathering with several songs which seemed to make their appeal as he was obliged to respond to demands for encores. Needless to say, he responded generously. Rev. P. L. Jull, of Brooklin United Church, thanked the ladies for the fine banquet scr- ved. The South Ontario Sunday School Softball League, operating now for several years, has popu- larized softball in this district and has brought together in a social way the boys of different Sunday Schools. With keén competition for the championship, the League has de- veloped softball more than any other organization in the district it takes in. Prior to the erganization of the League, teams from some of the smaller places were not iden- tified with any other organization their activities being confined to home games with neighboring cen- ters. The League was organized not only with the purpose of mak- Ing softball more popular, but with the idea of physical and moral de- velopment. Those who have fol- lowed operations for two years are certain that these objects have been achieved. Looking over the gathering around the festive board at Brook- lin Friday night one ivitnessed an young men who will be the future owners of farms and businesses in this or other districts of Canada. Any organizations which can suc- cessfully train them for the future is therefore certainly worth while and 'worthy of every encourage- ment, MANY HELPING T0 RAISE FUNDS FOR LOCAL RELIEF Organizations Plan En- tertainments Before Christmas For the benefit of Whitby famil- ies who will require help at Christ- mas and throughout the winter, local organizations are rallying their forces to raise funds, through the Whitby Christmas Relief and Welfare Association, an organiza- tion which has functioned for three years and has handled hundreds of dollars. arly in Decembér under the direction of Jack Parker, a very high class entertainment, to which many local artists are contributing, will be held in the Town Hall.

Stone, Prophet of Weather, Dies at Age of Seventy-Three Providence, R. I.--Forty years of what some said were accurate prognostications of the weather gods' intent are done. For Samuel E. Stone, veteran weather proph- et, is dead. . Seventy-three years old he was when he lay down his instru- ments and his mathematical for- mula by which, he always in- sisted, he could foretell from e to twelve n nths in advance hat the wou. .er gods intended to send to earth by way of wind, heat, cold, snow, rain, sleet and hail. Every year the prophet made his "probs' and many set great store by them. Mr. Stone's math- ematical formula of weather forecasting wos the "product of a perfected plan"built up on the teachings of "my old friend and teacher, Andrew Hopkins of Foster," the prophet once said. From what Mr. Hopkins told him Mr. Stone developed his own system which, he used to explain, was based on the weather con- ditions of the twelve days follow- ing Christmas, each day govern- ing a month of the succeeding year. Thus, the weather of December 26 held "signs" which '"accur- ately forecast the weather of January;" the weather of Dec- ember 27 would indicate "some- thing" of the weather of Febru- ary, and so on. Mr. Stone learned his "weather work" in Foster, where ho was born, and after some years he came to Providence. Wherever he went he became known as the "weather prophet." But he was active in other fields, too, He was a lay preacher in the country districts of Rhode Island, and he was an active temperance work- er who frequently appeared on the lecture platform. N.Y. ACTRESS SUED BY FORMER PRIEST Czecho - Slovakian Asks $50,000 for Breach of Promise New York.--While a vividly- attired actress sat smiling in court a former Czecho-Slovakian priest, Benjamin Chudacek, took the stand in his $50,000 breach of promise suit against her and said she had broken his heart by re- fusing to marty him. He met the defendant, Betty Randolph, he said, after seeing her picture in a newspaper and writing her a "letter of- condol- ence over her troubles." Ignoring the jibes of defense counsel who termed him a "male flirt,' a "religious gigolo" and a "fortune hunter," he testified he became a physical and mental wreck because the actress "failed to show up" on two Occasions when he had arranged for thelr wedding. Miss Randolph in a long flow- ing gown a brilliant red coat a sable neckpjece and a black tur- han did not have a chance to tell her story before adjournment. The letter Chudacek wrote to the actress was introduced. It read: "I have seen your lovely pie- ture in the newspapers and some. thing tells me I shall take the li- berty of writing you. I am single, never married, 44, healthy, 180 pounds, six feet one and very strong. They say I am a good- looker, Well, you shall judge me when you see me. I am-a de- scendant of one of the oldest Cze- cho-Slovakian families." Other letters were headed '"swetheart homey" and 'cute heart." The ene arranging their meeting said in part: "I know it will be thrilling, And I am sure by heart will go pitter patpat. I wish you would call me After telling how they went to Miss REMolpH's apartment, Chu. "7 me she had been mar- Qes and was now all i vent world, She by this company. MEMBERS CHOSEN Ontario-Quebec Conven- tion at Peterboro Given Fine Report Peterboro, Oct, 24.--An adjust- ment of the church to what was termed the 'new worldiness," was pointed out as one of the re- ligious objectives that must be kept in mind in the report of the special committee on the state of religion, presented at the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Que- bec at this morning's session, by Professor P. G, Gilmour, Hamil- ton. The report stateq that the "old worldliness," which had of- ten been identified with certain amusements, had been dealt with fairly faithfully if not always wisely, The "new worldliness" was evidenced by men's interést in social problems, in the regula- tion of population and marriage, in child welfare and the rehabil- itation of the poor and under- privileged. "There are many encouraging features about the year just closed," the report stated. *'Sel- dom has the news from the for- eign field been better, and the re- vivalg incident to the year's work abroad are doubtless in part the result of the sacrificial giving of our churches in the campaign of 1929 and 1930. "At home the results have been greater than for some years, anc although full statistics will 'not be available until next spring, we know that the increase in bap- tism is significant of renewed vig- or in many churches." The contributions of the churches had been well sustained, and there was encouragement al- so in the continued strength of B.Y.P.U. work. The stewardship committee was appointed as follows: Rev. C, E. MacLeod, R. D. Warren, and the following representatives of the various boards: Foreign Missions, Rev. Dr. H. E. Stillwell; Home Missions, Rev. Dr. C, H.

The program at the meeting was in charge of the Public Information Committee and Alan Campbell a member of this committee introduced the speaker. Alderman 'Baker in his opening remarks stated that he was glad there were many in Bowman- ville who championed the cause of better municipal government. The present system of government, he said, was put into' effect in the days of our great, great grandparents and was, well suited to those times but the system was now out of date and should be discarded. Lord Bryce, Ambassador to Washington from Great Britain in the latter part of the last century was one of the first to recognize the need of a different system of government for he saw in the old system politi- cal patronage and graft. Those that presented themselves for service were in many instances men who sought to better themselves or to confer favors on political support- ers. Apart from this the system was not a business like one and Alderman Baker stated should be discarded for the more modern system of Council-Manager. The latter system was much about the same as that used in big corporations, The shareholders elected the directors as the rate- payers elect the council and then the rectors in turn elect a general manager and the council a city manager. The general manager is appointed by the directors with a view to his experience and ability and the same theory exists in the appointment of a town manager. All works of the city are placed in the charge of a competent man who has made a study of municipal gov- crnment and he like the General Manager of corporation must pro- duce the results to retain his posi- tion. In this system Alderman Baker saw little chamee of politics and graft creeping in. When the system first was introduced in the United States it was opposed but after a while men began to see the wisdom of the move and at the pre- sent time 400 towns and cities are working under this system many 'of these being pulled from almost bankrupt municipalities to wealthy, well managed cities with contented ratepayers. There were in Canada 27 muni- cipalitics governed under the sys- tem which was gaining in favor daily. The alderman expressed the hope that Bowmanville would see fit to change to this system from which the town would be sure to benefit. Chief Sydney Venton on behalf of the Club expressed the thanks of the club to the speaker, BADMINTON CLUB OPENING DANGE Social Season Formally Started With Enjoyable Function Last Night The winter social season was for- mally started last night when the first Badminton Club dance was held at the Club rooms on King Street. A large number were out to enjoy the excellent dancing and the pleasant surroundings. The hall which has been newly decorated presented a pretty picture with its Hallowe'en decorations. At the north. end a big white moon was the feature while a wide eyed owl sat on a branch in front of it. Around the walls black cats with. the traditional arched back and wit- ches flying around on their brooms were parts of the decorative system. The floor which has been resanded wis in splendid shape and the dan- cers appreciated the many few con- veniences this season. The new lighting system was another thing that added to the general appear- ance. Snell's Orchestra of Oshawa supplied the music for the daneing while the social committee of the recess about midnight, IN THE CHURCHES OF BOWMANVILLE . ST.
