WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, ia34 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE W.CT.ll. Convention kinds ia increasing and thiH will cail for in.ifascd laxutiun to caro for the criminals, we, the Women's Christian Tcmperani'e Union in Flesherton as- sembled, consider that Christian com- mon sen^u should teach us how to cast our ballot to chose the lesser of two evils." ' Appreciation was expressed to the officials of St. John's church for the i>j of their beautiful auditorium; to the Flesherton Union for their kind hospitality; to the speakers who gave such inspiring addresses, to all who assisted in the musical jiart of the Convention and to all who contribut- ed in any way to the success of the convention. Grey and Dufferin W.C.T.U. held their fortieth annual convention in St. John's United church, Flesher- ton, on Friday of last we«k, repi-es- entatives being prt-sent from Mea- ford, Markdale and Owen Sound I'nions. , T!he president, Mrs. L. B. Danard of Owen Sound, presided at the af- ternoon ses.sion, which opened at 2 p.m. with devotional exercises led by Mrs. Clement and Mrs. S. A. Morri- son of Meaford. Airs. W. J.

SIGNIFICANT STAMP Bermuda has just issued a new series of stamps picturing the sail- ing .vessel "Sea Venture," aboard which Admiral Sir George Somers was wHacHad on Bermuda shores^ dress^, he urged the education of J-he | p^,^^^,.;^^ ^g^ Supposedly tales of, ^^^ shipwreck inspired Shake.;pears youth as the only ren- jdy. Th following- luolutiin wai presented an-1 was adapted. "Whereas the present government has e.".tirely ig- nored all our appeals for belter teni- peranie legislation, but has, on the contrary brought before the country a law that will increase the consump- tion of alcoholic liquors, thus'increa.s- ing the danger to life on the high- ways and misery in the home, we. as an orgar ization consider that the money obtained Sy the traffic is no compensation for the detradation of both young ar.d old in Ontario, and whereas the number of crimes of all to write "The Tempest." It was from the landing of Sir George that Bermuda di,3W or..; of its name's, "The Somers Isla.ids." And it was for Sir George's wife that the Canadian National liner. Lady Somei-s, was named. The Lady Somers plies between Canadian ports and the British West Indies, with Bermuda a place of calls both south- bound and northbound. Wellington county hog producers have fcrnied an organization. As long as exeivise is play, which means as long as it gives pleasure, and it is carried on in moderation, then the exercise promotes health and tends to improve the quality of life There are advantages in the out-of- doors play because it takes the playei out into the fre.sh air and sunshine and usually into more attra.-tive sur- roundings. There are many forms of exercise which may he taken; of these, walking is the simplest, requir- ing no special preparation and not costing a penny. For the average adult iierson, an hour's walk each day, or about three miles in length, pro- vides a reasonable amount of physical exercise. Younger people will enjoy the more strenuous skating and skiing during the winter and tennis or rowing in the summer. It is not that these games should be reserved for the young ex- clusively, but rather that they are better suited to the young perso i who can go at them vigorously. A.- we grow older, such games should bt taken on quietly and never in a com petitive sense. The last gasp may win, but no game is worth it, nor withstanding the applause it may earn. Competitions may be very fine in most ways, but they have the unfor- tunate- tendency to drive the competi- tor to overdo things. The time to stop is before you feel exhausted. The man who enjoys nine holes of goll and finds a longer game more fatigu- ing is more than foolish to play be- yond the nine holes simply to obligt someone who wishes to play the eighteen holes, or to enter club com- petitions. Exercise does not have to be play. Shovelling snow and digging the gar- den are excellent forms of exerciss for the large muscles, whether the shoveller or the gardener enjoy it or not. What we mean is, that wher, certain physical exercises arc taken to promote health, then we doubt how much value they have if they becom<? a bit of irksome work, because the real benefits of play are not all phys- ical. The mental exhilaration and the release from worries found in the fun of the game are important elo- ments in the benefits of exercise. Be moderate in your living and b; moderate in your exercise. Play foi the fun of it, and keep away from games or competitions that take too much out of you physically or which make you irritable.
