Eric W. L.«Peerce, Claiemont. On the wide, terreced lawn, shaded by the tali bordering spruces, the ladies laid the tables at wbich the three generations of relatives set down to a seventeen course meal of which meat pies of both English and Canadien style were the first course and apple and other fruit pies were an inter- mediate. Among the Pearces by name present were: Jamnes' L., George A., Lavinia, Ross C., Georgie, Vel- me, Louise, Jack and Brooks, of Ebenezer; Ira F. and Emmaline, Bowmanville; G o r d o n, Phyllis and Gordon Jr., Toronto; Eric, Florence, Robert, Marilyn and Douglas, Clarernont; K e n n e t b, Oekville; Mary J., Ernest, H.

Visit- ing lriends in ettendance were Mis. Allie Shantz, Rochester, N. Y., with ber cousin, Mi. Geo. A. Pearce, and Billy McKee, Toronto, with bis lriend, Jack Peerce. Ater supper Stanley Rickard and Kennetb Pearce with their. cameras took a number of group pictures. The young people play- ed an exciting game of sol tball and efterwaids quite a number went in tee quarter of, e mile to Claiernont, visited the stoies and saw the sights of the town. The invitation of Mr. and Mis. R. C. Peaice to boid next year's picnic et their home, South View Villa, Base Line, Dailington, on the Sturday belore civic holiday, wes, gratelully accepted. RICKAED FAM[ILY PICNIC The Rickard Famihy chose as their 1939 stamping ground the site et the Forestry Park, Orono, wbere their kinsfohk, the Ciem- ences, of two continents, had held their annuai pow-wow eight days bel ore. The ramifications of the Rickard Family oii that branch of it grew from tee transplanting Of one John Rickard and lemily of Devonshire, Eng., into the fertile aiea of Shaw's in the 1840's, be- igotso extensive o ie sprWading as the Clemences there were not 80 rnany in attendance on August 3rd ýas there had been on July 26. However, there were et least 110 'present of grand- mothers, grendlathers, parents, childien, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, husbands, wives, bachelors- and maids, and littie cbildren. Arnong those who had corne froni more distant points were: Dr. and Mrs. Harold Martyn, Stratford; Rev. and Mis. RoY H. Rickaid, Coiborne, and their fri- end, Mr. Anglin, of Albert Col- lege, Belleville; Miss Sylivi a Heath, St. Lambert, Que. The young feilows and a few of the girls worked up an appe- tite for *supper by indulging in a geme of softball, tbe tearn cap- tained by Gainet Rickard com- ing out a littie eheed of Albert Pearce's buncb.1 The ladies, under the direction of Mrs. W. J. S. Rickard, con- vener of the refreshiment com- mittee, served a bountiful supper but before applying tbemselves to the tesk of consuming the viands ail joined in singing tbe grace led by Mr. Normpan Rickaid. At the business meeting around the tables tbe secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Kenneth Werry reed the1 minutes and financial report. To the regret of everyone, the presi- dent, Dr. Howard B. Rickaid, and family, Port Coiborne, were un- able, on eccount of other plans, to attend tis year. Nomninating committee, Rev. R. H. Rickard, Mis. H. G. Mertyn and Mr. N. L. Rtickerd presented their report wbicb was adopted as follows: Piesidenit - H. R. Pearce; Vice Pres. - M. H. Wight; Sec'y.-Treas. - Mrs. K e rn n e t b Werry; Committee - W. F. Rick- aid, M.P., Gainet Rickard, Ewart Clernence and Jean Ciemence. Speciai prizes were presented to the loliowing: Shirley Moore, youngest girl; Calvin Bamsay,' youngest boy; Mr. and Mrs. John' Bosnel and .femiiy, largest num- ber of members present - father, other, four daugbters, one son, and six grandchildren; o 1 d e s t lady, Mis. Jas. Powers 86; run- ner-up, Mis. Geo. P. Rickaid 84. There was some speculation as to wbich wes the older, Mr. W. C. Aluin, Bowmenvilie, or Mi. W. J. Bragg, Providence; but it wes generelly conceded thet the one had seen as meny summers, trav- eiled as meny miles, and eaten as many picnic suppers as the other and probably more. An entertaining program of sports and contests was conducted by a committee of young people under the convenership of Mi. Gainet Rickard and prizes were presented to the winners. There were needie tbreeding, neil driv- ing, balloon expioding, paper bag bursting, bowling and other con- tests. Nigbt came on and the people wbo bad lingered in enjoyment of the time and place gradually de- paited for home or esewbere. Aicbery competitions are one of the oidost sports known, whiie motorcycle and motorboat races aie necessarily among tee newest -yet there is e sports programme to begin shortly so' comprehensivo that it includes almost everything from arcbery to motorboat races. The Canadien National Exhibition bas for years been a potent factor in the development of Canadien sport and this yeai its card le bot- ter than ever.

Writen or he tats f ' Bf HnseForaHada bodies The desire to see Canada must have been greetly stimulated by the Royal Visit. I have always wanted to see the West but that desire is greatiy intensif ied now. Every night wben 1 bear the Trans-Canada plane leeve, I wish I were on it. In Quebec and On- terio and as fear West as WNinni- peg, I could picture the King and Queen, beceuseM I bad been in ail the places, but from th e time they lef t Winnipeg until they returned, the radio b roadcas ts couid not meen bad not been there. Then ef- ter they lef t Winnipeg orn the return jour- Jes8ie Allen ney I couid Brown follow them every place but to Prince Edward Island and Pictou County in -Nova Scotie. And I wiil neyer be setisfied untii I cov- er that unknown ground. If thet desire is so intense in me it must have affected rnany others the sarne way. Not only Canadiens but people in the United States and in Great Britain. Canada is so varied and s0 large thet few of us have a comprebensive idea of our own country. See Canada first is e good motto. Mus. Aitken and the Exhibition The alert business men knows thet it le wise to cater to the wo- men as they do most of the buy- ing. The Canadien National Ex- hibition bas made a move for- ward when they appointed Mis. H. M. Aitken as the head -of Women's activities» Mis. Aitken is an intelligent woman, with ideas, and comnion sense. One of hér innovations is te invite repre- sentative women te meet et the daily luncheons, as she expresses it in the invitation, 'where the women of Canada may get to- gether to talk over their eccomp- lishments -of lest year - their bopes for tbe coming year.' It is a greal stimulation to meet women wbc are doing things and it shouid bE a tume of mutuel belp and inspira- tion. This is just one of Mis. Ait- ken's plans and it wilI be inter- festing to watch what she does fox Dthe women of Canada. 3Candidates Should Be Successful t Men Candidates for the next electior are being chosen in meny ridings Individuels bave littie cboice aý the paity machine swings into ac- rtion.

Dear George: After leaving Bowmanville we iourneved down the Canadien shore1 of Lake Ontario t, the new Inter-i national Bridge wbicb crosses the St. Lawrence near Alexandria Bey. N. Y. Afler spending a few days witb Mrs. White's brother. Dr. Byron Heskin of Theresa. N.Y.. we headed for New York City and the World's Fair. The Fair certainlv is well worth seeing and is an eye-opener. While visiting the Russien Building we were surprised and pleased 10 run into Mr. F. C. Hoar and sister of Bowmenville. Less tben a week before we bed broken bre4d with Mr. Hoar et the Rotary Club in Bowmanville. It seemed rather odd that of aIl the thousends et the Fair the only n)ersons we knew sbould corne f rom our native towvn. After e few davs et the sea shore et Oceen Grove we* sterted for Florîde crossinz New Jersey into Delaware and down the eastern shores of Maryland to Cape Charles where we take the ferry to Norfolk, Va.. a little sea voyage of 26 miles. It is rether e nice wey to go and quite apert f rom the heevv treffic. -nvoiding Baltimore and Wàshinzton. A fter four deys of motoring we reached Coral Gables.

You know "desertion" is rather suggestive of the possibilitv of being "shot et sunrise," and while Ibis did not worrv me env. beingz not the whole truth. 1 would i ust like to correct the errer. The fact is that the lime cerne when I e- tired f rom the active work of the resnonsibilitv of a circuit, and s0 was vlaced in the regular wav on the retired list of p)reechers. I served the United Church of Canada and the Methodist Cburch as ai) active minister in British Columbia for 30 vears. most of the tîrne on Home Mission f ields. Ten vears of thel lime was sp)ent here on the White Rock f ield. Since 1929 when the depression bit us aIl. e denression that bas lasI- ed 10 veers. and is still going stmoîlg, I took an active p)art in trying 10 gel a fair break, or et least a systernatic care of the unemploved. and served on a gcod manv delegetions and some demonstrations in the interesîs of the "Have nots."
