committee on agncul ture and reforestation for llalton county over the past 16 years beaver dam dry we were surprised to find when visiting the various wood lots that the large body of water created by the beaver is all gone unfortunately the rain storm prevented a thorough tn vestigation it may be theresult of the dry season but we can t help but wonder if some misguided individual has destroyed some of the dams trur they will be replaced but in the mean time the area looks rather desolate to say the least and perchance it may be why some of our llalton wells are getting low ortfr traa hw

deemed to be a real success the weatherman did a little better for us than has been the case for the past few days and it had cooled down to something reasonable the buses and cars started arriving about 1 30 and by 230 the races had begun there was a good program of sports under the chairmanship of hud james and frank connely with their usual large group of volunteers the races were not confined to the young slers but also included ones for the adults and there were novelty races and contests such as throwing the egg etc kach child was given free tickets as he arrived with cord jamlcson and helpers in charge of this depart rnent this year as an innovation the children were given tags as a means of identification there were two ponies in a ring for members use and they had a busy day of it at one time there were seen to be over 50 children waiting to ride after a grand program of races lunch was held under the open pavil ion with around 500 we believe tak ing part everyone agreed that this was s really fine picnic and as usual the kiddies start anticipating the one for nest year the buses left starting right after supper for the early birds until the last ones had left the park we noticed a good many unfamiliar faces up there aa usual by unfamiliar we mean that we dont often see them around the legion glad to see you out fellows and we knew it the ball team arrived to play but be tween the arduous journey and the beat of the day decided that it was too much for their weary old bones and didnt play just as well too be cause thoae poor weary old chaps would not have had much chance ag alnst bryce smith and his youngsters from streelsville who was that fellow in the hgh yellow shirt that seemed to be doing all the directing while holding onto the baseball back stop for support most dtsappoin ted man there charlie boyle who specifically went up there to play hall only to have it cancelled says he would have thought moat of them could have tried to play even if they are out of condition fat and well past forty please note messrs staplcton and patterson meanest man at the picnic- the chap who swipes a hot tie of soft drink from murph and the boys and then takes it around to the front of the booth and exchanges it for his own brand how cheap can you get bruce mccartney had an unfortunate accident when hit in the eye with a sharp branch he was for tunate not lo lose an eye that was the only acldcnt that we know of that happened at the picnic and we are glad that it was no worse darts and horseshoes went over well with a goodly number taking part in both events a list of all the prizewin ners is printed elsewhere in the pap er did you hear about the fellow who had his name mentioned quite extensively in legion notes a few week ago end bought five copies t send to relatives and friends my my tnd then he pretends hes embar rassed by it all that wu quite a story some of the ball team save ua when 4hey arrived and explained that they were late because thoy had been golfing yes and what else had you been doing chappies i there has been a request u write this col umn while were away on holidays but after careful ennalderation and uludtflrtover with some of the oth ers weve decided u against it the volunteer editor none other than friend john but aa we pointed for expert eye c o t walker cplensamrt 3 main st north bfsmpton

purpose so all you embryo ilogans had better get your names on it and see if you cant do belter than last year boys better put em in training ken especially the night be fore it might even be wise to put a curfew on them the last dart fin at at the picnic developed into some thing of an endurance contest before we left with henry shepherd and pat chamberlain battling it out with alva neve and george sargent won der by actual count how many were there port credit legion also had a picnic there that day and to liven things up a bit had brought up their own bugle band added a bit of life and colour to the party too the best rumour we have heard in a long lime saturday af ternoon we were sitting quiety with the president minding our own bust ness thst goes without saying when one of our members slightly in ar rears comes over and says i handed in my size for that sweater and so has gordie and the rest of the boys nick gets a rather bewildered look in his eyes and asks what for oh haven t you heard the legions buy ing sweaters for everyone who ever played any sport for the legion so after we all pitched and revived the president and treasurer from the shock we enquired where this one had started hocky were surprised at you why the presidents and officers might have had a heart attack think ing of all the money involved we understand its now in the mill to have plans given for a new stage and a few other minor improvements made and not before time either glad to see former vice president jim dell home last weekend and able to be at the picnic he tells us he is hoping to be home for good in about a months time jim looks very tit and ssys he feels the same way wanted how about letting us know where you are on your vaca tions the members would be inter ested snd we think maybe we could use it in the column nicely with the exception of those two publicity hounds scott y and gord king the rest of the branch dont keep us up too well with their activities in fact it was only last sunday at the picnic that one of the lads who used to sup ply us with a lot of good copy biigo was complaining bitterly about not getting his nsmc in the paper enough and how come the other two made the headlines so often so we explain ed about how they arrange to have one of their secretaries at work make up a mimeographed copy each week of the more colourful events in their busy lives and send them to the her u aid chub sss now he under stands and he often wondered what kept them so busy on company time biigc oh yes that means before he got old have youft esso oil burner or
