THl RSTON In a letter |-eceivc'd from the sec retary of the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association information is given that the Civic Holiday picnic of the .Association, scheduled for Fle.'^herton, ha.s been dropped. Wc regret the move very much, as many former residents were awaiting the event with plea.sure. AVhile an in- vitation had not been extended by the local committee until the Toronto committee was here two weeks ago, we know that a large majority of the town people arc decidedly in f»voi of the picnic. The local committee tendered an invitation to the Tor'on- to committee to celebrate, which was accepted, and we were surprised to know that arrangements for the event had been cancelled. We are sorry if unconsciously, a "wet blanket" has been put on the affair, but many supposed that this year the event wouid be held at some central place between here and Toronto, easy ol access to residents of both places. Everybody desires to see the Assoc- iation prosper and become a unit through which we can continue to associate with friends, wlio othenvise would not bo seer, for long periods, and we hope that the present decision not to celebrate in Flesherton in Aug- ust will not have any retarding ef- fect in the continued progress of the Association.

EDITORIAL ITE.MS Under a law which went into ef- fect on the first of this month, a prospective bridegroom in Saskatche- wan must now produce a health cer- tificate secured from a competent medical man not more than ten day.s prior to application for a marriage license. This is a very proper pre- caution; and by that same token Bhould not the blushing bride fylc with the parson a similar certificate? • • • Even kings have hobbies to keep them interested when not occupied with state affairs. King George V has a fine collection of Briti-sh an<l Colonial stamp? and a phila'elist is re- quired to keep the two hundred books in a proper condition and insert new Htamps when received. A hobby is needed by all to help forget worries and cares and again many of them are very profitable. • • • James Mattern is attempting an- other round-the-world airplane flight; this time alone. These flights show what advances have been made in aviation in the past decade, enabling airplanes to travel longer distances than was thought possible during the world war. Very soon it appears that machines will 1>e constructed to travel half way around the world with >one fueling. The craze for speed and distance travel has brought sci- ence into the field to perfect the jnotles of travel.

Editor . i new school was built and am one of the men who helped to engage Mr. Hale as sec.-treas. at a salary of $50.00 per year. This sum he re- ceived each year for two years and I consider he earned every cent of it and for two years previous to that when the new school was being built, furnished and equipped, I consider he earned a good deal more than he was paid. At the annual meeting of the ratepayers during the year the con- tinuation school was built the rate- payers voted him $10.00 more than the trustees had agreed to pay him. They surely could not have thought he was getting too much money. To try to make out that Mr. Hale was sore when he handed over the books in April, on account of the money paid him for Keeping them, is as far from the truth as it is pos- sible to get. Mr. Kale offered the books to either Mr. Shortt or myself at our first meeting In January and neither of us would take them. Every year for the last four years Mr. Hale has offered the books to either of the trustees and tw^o years ago at our firet trustee meeting he coaxed Jim Hudson, who was then a trustee, to take over the books. I heard him myself telling Hudson, he would help him do anything in connection with the business if he, Hudson, should happen to get stuck; but Hudson re- fused. I believe Mr. Hale was sore and I think he has a ffood reason to be, but it is not over losing the school books. A man who has given this section as long and valuable service as Mr. Hale has, I thought it unfair to let this go without some explana- tion. â€"JOHN BLACK.
