Hisey of the Standard Bank A committee of ladies composed of Mrs. O. W. PhiUips, Mrs. W^ A. Hawken and Mrs. W. I. Henry have ; been busy fixing up the park recently. ' They have planted young maples all : along the frontage, levelled the ground perfectly below the hill and sowed it with grass seed. Later, when this grows, it will be rolled and ' made into an ideal tennis ground or bowling green. ! As the park stands now it is a de- > lightful* spot for motor parties to camp. With kitchenette for cooking, tables, etc., al lof which' is free to all. A number of motor parties used it last year, but many more are expected to make use of it this year. The women will spend considerable more on the park this year to bring it nearer completion, by building roads therein and in other ways. It is hoped to secure from the govern- ment the usual 25 per cent, grant it pays towards public parks. A good many hundred dollars has already > been spent, and the government ass- ' istance would make it possible to make our Memorial Park the finest ! thing of its kind in any town of its ; size in our whole Dominion. I In Methodist Church Friday Evening- Last ' On Friday evening last in the' audi- torium ot the Flesherton Methodist church the semi-finai debate of the Owen Sound Debating League took place. Inistioge and Flesherton canie together before a large crowd ontlie subject resolved "that drink is a greater evil to the state than war." Inistioge supported the affirmative, i Flesherton the negative, the former i emerging victorious. The contest- I ants delivered their addresses with a surety which bespoke long study and much preparation. Th»e was little to choose between either team and until the decision was announced none knew just what the result wouldbe. The debaters were compli- ! mented on their delivery and manner I of speaking. The Inistioge team is Emily Acheson and Russ^ Patterson, while Flesherton was supported by Mildred Caswell and George Akins. The subject is of world-wide import- ance at the present time. The affirmative built their argu- ments upon the evils to man such as, enormous cost of drink; harm done to the home; drink causes diseases; drink leads to other habits; drink causes crime; drink lo\>crs morals, and many other good, arguments. The negative upheld their side with the following points: Harm that was done to mankind in men-sacrifice; war causes diseases;, war ruins sport; war ruins the moral of the states war wrecks the financial exchange syst- ems of the state; war causes the code of honor between nations to cease, thus leading -to new wars; enormous cost of war; war ruins manufacturing commerce, and destroys the natural resources of the countrv, etc. The judges were Rev. J. S. Veales of KJmberley, Rev. F. N. Bowes tf Mai-kdale and Mr. T. S. Cooper, also of Markdale, Mr. J. S. Dundas pre- sided at the organ in his usual good manner.
