Editor SOMET PRIZE BABIES The authorititM conducted a baby competJtetion at Wtnibly for the The Flesherton Advance bear Sir: â€" I understand a "History of Grey County" is to be published in the Empire and a Mt. Forest man got in near future. Being a native of that on a i"20 prize for his youngster, while sevc;:il olhejr Canadians won prizes running from £20 to £100. The prize baby of all came from Australia. We can all afford to smile at this report, because there are thousands of babii'S in Canada just as worthy, and probably more worthy, than the cherubs who wont to Wemb- ly. Every mother of a baby knows at least one. Therefore we can all smile. THAT AMUSE.MENT TAX An inspector for the Amusement Tax Department at Toronto was in town nosins; around one day last week. As there had been on amuse- ments here since his last visit he left looking as hungry as when he arriv- ed. Vultures like these throw a damper over amateur sport. The tax should be applied only to what is known as professional sport. The birds of prey could then be called to their eyries and their salaries and travelling expenses could be saved. These two things eat up a big pro- portion of the funds collected. The way things are run by this Depart ment would be a joke if it were not so aerious. Strange Car Acciient Mr. H. Foester of Eugenia had a peculiar car accident recently. He was driving to Waterloo alone, and on the other side of Arthur his car went over the .siiie of a short culvert and turned turtle, pinning him beneath it. He was unconscious when another car came along and took him to a farm house. The farmer drove him to a doctor in Fergu.s. He remained un- conscious for four or five hours, but when he came to he seemed fit and was taken hack to his car, which had been badly damaged. The top and windshield were destroye<l and fender damaged. The ciir hud Ijeoii righted during his absence. He got into it and drove on hi.s way, feeling none the worse for the accident, although he did tiot romemlier anything that had oQcurred until ht? woke up In the doctdr'.s olTit'j.

Tlie lu.st half wa.s more even, KiinlieiU-y putting more energy into the i)lay keeping the ball well up to centnr field. county and intimately acquainted with some of the pioneers, who are becom- ing fewer from year to year, I am naturally desirous if seeing such an enterprise carried to a successful completion. The time is opportune for such publication. The most valuable and interesting par? of such history will be the account of the life and work of the pioneersâ€" their strugglings, their hardships difficulties, dangers and triumphs. This history will cover a period of about seventy-five years. Perhaps not more than half a dozen of the first pioneers are now alive^ From some of these valuable infor- mation may be obtained, historically and traditionally. The principal diflficulty will be the procuring of enough subscriptions in advance to cover the cost of publica- tion of the fir.st edition. There ought to be at least ten thousand families or if.dividuals desiring copies of the his- tory. The pioneers and their children to the third generation,, whether still living in the county or scattered over the earth, with their numerous relat- ives and interested acquaintances, would all do well to secure copies of a book that contains a record of the achievements of the men and women who founded the worth-while institu- tions that have done so much to place Grey County among the foremost in the Province. ^ There is not a municipality, village, hamlet, school section, concession or farm that could not supply incidents that would enhance the value of the history.. A volume of moderate size could not, of course, contain every- thing of interest that transpired in the county; hut the compiler will, no doubt, make a judicious selection. I believe the County Council is guai-anteeing the financing of the matter. I would like to suggest that jach municipality in the county make a <lonation of say $100.00, which would amount to about S2000 from all H.nd that this amount be applied as par; payment of the cost of piihli.sh- imr the first edition. This would iiKildo the I'lililishers to very much re- ihice the subscription price, and this would go far to inci'ease the subscrip- tions. If 10,000 were issued in the (ir.st, edition, and sold, the cost per volunie Would be much less than if only .5,0(1(1 were issued. I WDiild aikpeal to the loyal, patrotic and intelligent people of every part of tirey Coiiiily, to come to the rescue, send request to .1. S. WiLson, Owen Sound, to put you down for one or more copies of "The History of Grey County." The more of such suh- scriplions that are sent in advan^'e, the cheaper this valual)lc book will l)e. Let us all help out this good enterprise. Port Ai-thur, .Sincerely yours, July 2!l, i;)21. .1. KITt'HlK. Insert a".SnialI A<lvt."if y<in have a room to rent (o scholars or board.

A baseball diamond was constructed this year on land, bought by the young people of Vandeleur, beside the public school grounds, which were taken in to form the (lark, making a beautiful resty spot ^ith large maple trees and spacious grounds an ideal place for garden parties, etc. This will supply a long-felt want for the young people of Vandeleur in providing themselves with a suitable playground. The opening of the new park took place on Monday, Civic Holiday, and was successful in every way. An ideal day, a big crowd and sports and music that kept everybody interested. Dundalk band assisted materially in making the day a success with the spendid music played and the com- ments heard on the playing should make the players feel that they are a .-complishing somthing in the music- rl line. Besides being a community play- ground the park is also a memorial to the pioneers who came into this jountry. A beautiful monument was erected some years ago in mem- ory of the pioneers. ! One of the best baseball games played this year was the one played there between Owen Sound and Van- deleur in which the former emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle 4-2. Russell Graham hit a home run over the left field fence in the second inning and the other run was scored by Elmer Warling in the seventh, while Owen Sound got thre^ in the seventh and one in the eighth. The players for Vandeleur were: â€" R. Freeman, G. Akins, H. Beard, E. Warling, H. Mercer, S. Buchanan, A. Buchanan, H. Graham and H. McGee. A quoit tournament was played during the afteinoon and the winners were tied for first place and the money was divided between Geo. Mc- Gibbon and Wm Burnett and Jerry Scott and Frank Teeter. Jarvis Henry and Geo. Snell pitched a real close game with the McGibbon team. The horseshoe pitching contest was won by Dick Clark and H. 9 •BBBBBBHBaBanmeBsaaanp* Haines against Alex. Cherry nad Ab. Knott of Epping. The football game between Kimb- erley and Strathavon was won by the former 2-1 in a close game. The Kimberley players were R. Eills, G. Wright, L. Gilbert, E. Ellis, B. Wright, A. Ferguson, H. Fawcett, I. Donnelly, J. Davidson, H. Haines, E. Davidson. Referee Dr Shepherdson. The concert in the evening was worth going a long way to listen to. The Dundalk band supplied several fine selections between ntunbers. Miss A. C. McPhail, M.P., acted as chairman very acceptably.,, Numbers were given by the Douglas family of six, Miss Emily Acheeon, Mrs. R. Genoe and Howard McGee, that were applauded heartily. The proceeds of the day amounted to about 1250 with about $100 at two booths on the grrounds. Misres Ruby and Pearl Radley of Toronto spent a few days of the past vieek v.ith their parents here.
