Picnic Parade Was Big Feature 0f Anrual Event Spectacular Parade Featur. ed OPening of Business Men's Picnic - Splendi< F! z;,%ts, Decorated Cars and Bicycles Please Huge Crowd. One of the biggest contributing factors to the success of last weck's Business Men's Community Picnie was the splendid kalithumpian par- ade. The parade differed in man: respects from last year. There wcre no manufactusrers' floats, aitho' Lhe nursery floats wcre classed as such. but there were in the rural and other classes numerous entries whicli made the Parade a miost colorfui and intercsting spectacle. Some new plan must be adopted however in arranging the parade in future Years.ý The judges are ata loss to tell in what rlass the floats are entered and omitting this in- formation they are unable to tell whther a ffoat is original in its class or otherwise. The judges wbc had a most difficult task in selecting the winners were Messrs. Fred W. Bowen. M. P., W. J. Bragg, M. P. P. F. O. Mcllveen. I. G. Hefkcy, and A. J. Whalen. The parade was led by the Can- adian Legion Band which acqujtted itself nobly both as parade leaders and in their programs at the Park. The Baud was followcd by the offic- ial car in whicb President Tom Dus- tan rode. Frank Williams followed on bis highboy bicycle, both wheel and rider specially dressed for the occasion. Behind hlm came the Cawker brothers. Charlie and Geor- ge, on their prancing ponies, and these in turn were foilowed by the Orono Reforestry Station floiats de- plctlng a scene on the station when it was nothlng but sandhilils and burut stumps and a contrastlng scene of the station as it is today. Scores of decorated cars follow- ed and amoug them the Prize wln- ners, driven by Miss Annie Hoît, Mrs. W. J. Challis, and Roy Nicholîs. Hector Gould entered his old Ford in the parade just for the f un of the thing and was pleased and yet chag- rlned when he was told that he had been awarded the prize for the most dilapidated car In the parade. Jack Hately's wrecker. a]] decorated with fiags, held a place in the parade, but most o! the cars were new ones and there seemed little hope of getting any wrecks.

Splendid Year's Work Ackieved By Rotary Club Crippled Children, Under- nourished, S ic k a nd Needy, and Community Benefits from Activities of Local Service Club. "Thy modesty's a candie to thy menit." This quotation f rom one o! Fielding's plays was used as the op- enmng sentence in a report fabling the activities o! the Bowmanville Rotary Club appeariug in The Statesman about one year ago. Af- ter heariug the report presented by the retlring president, Geo. W. James, at the Rotary Club luncheon on Friday, outliniug the activifies and achievements o! the past twelve months wc can. find no more suif- able quotation with wbich to tell fthc story o! this work. If is used in this conuection because the type and amount o! community work carrled on by this service club is not gener- ally known or broadcast and it la only when a reporter is privileged to bear these details given at the close o! each year that an opporfunity is given to acquaint the citizens wlth details o! the inside work that bas beenparried on through the year. The retiring president in openlng bis address put to bis hearers the rather potent question "la Rotary Worthwbile?"' and in answer to thia question lie outliued the events out- standing in the year's work.

This work was spread over every municlpality in West Durhama and repreaented an expenditure o! about $1000. Boys' Work Another phase« o!
