canadian legion was held on thursday july 24th about 50 child ren and 20 mothers journeyed to miles park the weather looked threatening when they left oeorgetown but fortunately nice weather was en joyed all day miles park was new as a picnic place but proved well worth the jour ney there is so much to see the children enjoyed the swings and slides even the sand piles for the little ones did good service all the time but the animal were the greatest attraction deer and peacocks and rabbits of all colours living in and roaming about the same wood and some of the pea cocks very obligingly saread their beautiful tails for the visitors the little gray donkeys gave the children a wonderful time riding them all over the place a big lumbering elephant gave the children quite a thrill when they were lifted up onto its broad back six at a time for rides around the park the monkeys too were very interesting so were two uttle daok bears also the bird houses a kicking mule mustnt be forgotten either he was the object of interest for all the little boys and quite a few big boys too as the weather was too hot to run races all the children were treated to extra pop and ice cream which was more acceptable on a hot day anyhow at 9 15 two truck loads of tired but happy youngsters arrived back in town after enjoying one of the nicest pic nics in years the committee in charge of ar rangements for the picnic was mrs h harlow mrs a roney and mrs a carter mrs f oumer had many helpers with the refreshments usually the earlier the spring grain is sown the better the crop hut this season it seems to be the- other way about and the- later grain looks the best around here anyway the earlier grain is very short in the straw and the grain itself is not fill ed out properly the harvest is early enough though we should think to suit everybody of course we could have a wet harvest like we had last year and thus make it late enough after all however we are not likely to get two wet harvest seasons in a row we understand that this modern fad of smoking by the fair sex is going out of date and somehow ne aren t eien peeved about that we never could understand how nice look lng girls with nice fingers and teeth ever fell for smoking come to think of it though we are unable to recall ever seeing a girl smoking that ap peared to be enjoying it did you no it always seemed to be done in a sort of bravado way of course the girls never smoked during those important events in their lives and perhaps never really thought much of the habit if the girls are quitting the habit what about the bos we often wonder if ihej ever realize just what they look like with a cigarette in their mouths and would suggest that they have their pictures taken that wa some time most of us are familiar with the ad ertisements in the magazines that feature cures for bo of course we all krow that b o stands for body ood ir agnin there k bad breath which is entirely different irom bod odour both o these are very objec tionable as we all know we often wonder if the heav smoker ever real zes the strong tobacco odour that seems to hae permeated to his verj soul it too is objectionable and worse still there is no known deodorant that will overcome it among the properties that the smoktf er seems to attain is selfishness av one time the smoker neer thougl i of smoking in the presence of ladies es peciaily in a strange house but today the habitual smoker walks into your home withme pipe belching forth at its maximum and never thinks ol eas lng up on the habit they leave be hind a trail of ashes and of burnt matches and that strong odour that is so hard to get rid of we can think of several ways that we would like to be remembered other than by the strong tobacco odour how about you the big v for victory seems to have made a hit even the globe and mall had a big pink v on its front page last thursday morning under neath the inked type and no doubt they will keep this habit up just think how lucky the car owner driver is that is driving a v8 right now we are glad that the big nlckle doesn t sport a v on its face though it seems to have attained importance enough as it is there was a time when a v usually meant a five dollar bill but that title seems to have gone out of date if the use of the big v really becomes popular we may all be come much more victory minded than we have been up to date compared with the last war we canadians dont seem to have realized that we really are at war even yet there doesn t seem to be the leadership along lhat line that we had in the first great war the weather the heat wave that a couple of weeks ago compelled a dignified judge in an edmonton court to doff ms coat rolled slowly across the con tinea compelling less dignified duffers to doff everything the law would allow and would not poor old grandmothers have held up their hands in horror to see their granddaughters decked out in shorts and a coat of tan but then see how much more comfortably they sur vived the heat wave than their grand mothers would have done and f the dear girls can get away with t why shouldn t we mere men be allowed to revert to the

have left quite a solid momument to thelr memory in those long lines of high ways throughout the province the tough break though would be that those hard surfaced highways are not suitable for horse traffic of course there are other ways of propelling cars than by the use of the internal com bustlon gasoline engines some years ago we used to see a few electric cars on the road they were very quiet running cars and were never as modern in design as were the ordinary motor cars of their time the chassis was built moreatter thesty4e of the old fashioned carriage then there were the steamer cars no doubt man or our readers will recall the brooks steamer that was made in stratford ontario and that produced a scandal of a kind later oh it was modern in design and we did like the sound it made as it pulled away from the curb just a slight hissing sound that seemed to become less as it gained speed it used coal oil if we remember correctly and its weak point was in me piping that trans mitted the steam to the engine this had a habit of breaking when the owner was several miles from a gar age they never became popular and we haven t heard of a steam car be ing in use for a long time

of new england troops from bos ton the name was changed to annapolis royal in honor of queen anne who then occupied the english throne the reconstruction of the an dent habitation at annapolis royal
