PROVES POPULAR Followers of the Leafs have been enthusiastic over the special nights the club has been putting on this summer in conjunction with the Baseball Boosters' Club. Father & Son Night is the most popular of all these special nights and the last one of the curent season Is being staged on September 4. Roy Worters, the old N.H.L. goal- ie, is now the energetic president of the Boosters' Club and he is re- sponsible in large measure for these special nights, He is the man who thinks up the .novelty events that delight kids and adults alike. He always has a number of convention al events like sprints and throwing for accuracy on the programme, but the big hits of the previous nights have been the holo contests and the wheelbarrow and balloon races, fore he sends them to the tobacco company in Montreal. There are so many cigarette orders that there may be some delay in filling them. "Then when the parcel is event- ually despatched there is the ques- tion of shipping to consider. The letter which referred to the cigar- ettes went by the fastest possible boat. Parcels often have to go by slower boats. "When the cigarettes arrive in England, they have to go through the Customs. Even though parcels to the troops are duty-free, they have to be examined to make sure that they contain no prohibited ar- ticles," Major Underwood expalined. When eventually the soldier re- cejves his cigarettes five or six weeks may have elapsed. But he added that these figures for non-deliveries did not include parcels of cigarettes sent overseas to soldiers who had not left Can- ada. Because these cigarettes had come from bonded warehouses and had not been subject to excise duty, they could not be sent back to Can- ada. In these cases the cigarettes were delivered to the O.C. of the man's unit and a letter 'was sent to the friend in Canada, explaining what action had been taken and why, Major Underwood explained that when letters were addressed 'c/o Army Base Post Office, Canada," they were automatically sent over- seas, Until it was definitely known that a soldier had gone overseas it was better, he said, to address all mail to the particular camp where he was last stationed. He also advised people to send parcels through the regular army postal system instead of despatch- ing them c/o some London bank or other British forwarding address. "Only parcels to the soldiers are duty-free and if they are sent direct to some British address, the customs authorities have no way of telling whether they are really soldiers' parcels, Even if the parcel is ad- dressed to a "Capt." that doesn't mé&an anything. The man might be a captain in the police or the Sal- vation Army", said Major Under- wood.

Record crowds attended the Victoria and Vancouv= er apoearances of the popular Eng- lish stage star, six thousand seats being sold at Vancouver during the first three hours. Miss Fields proceeded to Jasper Park and Banff, her party being guest respectively of the C.N.R. and the C.P.R., Miss Fields making a tremendous hit with both Ameri- can and Canadian guests who com. pletely filled all accommodation. Once again the sailors' funds of Great Britain and Canada was handsomely increased. During her stay at Jasper Park, Miss Fields flew to and from To- ronto to fulfill an engagement at a mammoth concert in aid of the Toronto Star Fresh Air Pund. to charity and she received such an ovation at Toronto that her sched- uled visit in August and September is already assured of success. The entire proceeds of the various entertainments to be given in Can- ada by Miss Fields are to go to the Navy League of Canada and the Navy League of Great Britain, Fol- lowing her Canadian tour, she will go to Australia and New Zealand, where the Navy Leagues of those Dominions will co-operate similarly with the British organization, Through the fund thus being raised, the Navy Leagues will be able to extend their work of looking af- ter shipwrecked sailors and giving aid to the widows and families of men of the navy and merchant marine lost at sea. The Navy League of Canada has embarked on & most active program of war work and is receiving the financial support of thousands of citizens who realize the important part that the navy and merchant marine play in national defence. Courtice (Mrs. George Reynolds, Core, COURTICE, Aug. 13.--A miscel- laneous shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Bar- raball on Friday evening of last week in honour of Mrs. Gordon Barraball (nee Frances Marion Rey- nolds.)

Around seventy-five persons as- sembled on the lawn to view the opening of the gifts. Car lights illuminated the circle, with the bride and groom near the centre. The following address was read by Mrs. R. Tooley: -- "Frances and Gordon: We are gathered together this evening to wish you happiness and prosperity in the future. "During the years you have been with us we have appreciated your sterling charscter, friendship and cheerfulness. "On the road ahead may these little gifts be found useful, and at the same time remind you of the friends who tonight offer them." The young couple proceded to open and display the numerous gifts, which included silverware, cut glass, electrical appliances, pyrex and china ware, a maatle clock, aluminum ware, and many other useful articles. Owing to the busy season many friends sent remem- brances who could nut attend in per- son. In a few well chosen remarks the groom thanked all present for their kindness.
