The announcement of the pro- posed event was made at Mon- day's meeting of Oshawa Rotary Club by President T. L: Wilson, who said that tbe idea had now been approved and was in the hands of the Inter-Club Commit- tee where the details were be- ing given the finisbing touches. Invitations to the members of the Rotary Clubs in Bowman- ville, Cobourg, Leaside, Lindsay, Peterboro, Pickering, Port Hope, Toronto and Whitby are being forwarded, and it is expected that a large attendance will be the result. The co-operation of the golf andi bowling clubs, he said, had been secured and the visitors will be given their choice as to whe- ther tbey wish to play golf, bowl, or enjoy a sigbt-seeing th>ur which will take them to all parts of the city, including Parkwood Farms, Camp Samac, etc. At 5:15 in the afternoon, through the courtesy of Coionel R.

McLaughlin. At 6:45, the entire panty will gather at the auditorium at the Oshawa Airport, where a ban- quet will be hield, and arnauge- mc-nts are under way for an out- standing speaker, whose naine could net be divulged owing to lack of confirmation. This is perbaps onc of the Ian- gest inter-city meetings that bas been planned in this district in many yea ns. and wilI no doubt re- MquJre the assistance and act!%.p participation of every member oï MM CANAD!AN STATIMJi, EOWMMiV=. ,OHTABZO was thrown from a buggy and pretty'well shaken up. ý5 Years Ago Harry Allin, Seugog St., is on a field crop judging expedition at Omemee and points north. Scoring 70 out of a possible 70 in the first stage of the City of Toronto rifle match, Sergt- Major W. A.

The bot weather is forcing a lot of tourists to stay in this vicin- ity much longer than bas been the custom of latter years. Andy Sutch has bis tobacco kiln nearly completed. Neil Cur- tis has his two kilns wellVstarted. Different people around here have turkey, duck or goose "shoots". But, it remained for Andy Sutch to hold a rooster shooting match a few days ago. We apologize for not having reported Mrs. Cliff Hudson being ill in Peterboro Civic hospâal. We haven't forgotten that when our chief cook and bottie wasber was in Oshawa Hospital last faîl, Mrs. Hudson was kind enough to write to Mrs. Y., even tbough the two ladies had neyer met. According to those who should know, a cbeery letter, while in hospital, is as helpful as medicine. Decoration Day at McCrea's Church was well attended on Aug. 7. The old cburch looks quite nice Neil Curtis became interested in having it renovated. Neil has so- licitedo funds, working himseif, and had his bired help assisting in the work of restoring the buildings and grounds. Some firms donaýted paint, etc Duning the recent heat wave, Dr Smirle Lawson of Toronto, advised men over 50 years of age te not overexert themselves, par- ticularly when mowing the lawn. Wish he could figure out some way for the writer to take things easy whilst building an imple- ment shed on the east side of the forest, witb the wind blowing from the west and the sun coming straight down like the open doors of a dozeni blast furnaces. According to the Globe and Mail of August 6, some people think the National Art Gallery at Ottawa needs a new, better, bigger home. Last February, we visited the Freer Art Gallery in Wasbington, D.C. Some exhibits were unusually good and would appeal to almost anyone. But, there were some early- period Japanese screens, about 6 or 7 ft higb, that would make the aver- age person billous to look at. Maybe if the Art Gallery at Otta- wa cleared- out some of the junk there would be ample room. for the good stuff. A letter from our son, Gordon in Alberta, says in part, that, he sometimes faýils to, receive bis.. copy of The Statesman. Wbhen he was around bere, he neyer thougbt the old "rag" was wortb reading. Being in Alberta, plus paying for it, apparently makes a difference, now he doesn't want ta miss one copy. In her column last week, Col- lette Ferguson told of a married woman becoming a bull figbter. Then naively wonders wby? My wife says, any married woman can become an expert bullfighter. Because the qualifications fit both cases, L.e. grace, beauty, courage, cool head. Plus the nec- essity of keeping a wariý eye on either brute, if you don't want to, get hurt. Guess sbe ought to know, she's been living with the writer for over 29 years. Can anyone explain the pecul- iar paradox that exists in many rural communities at present. Many farmers state that, their barns hàve neyer been so empty as this year. Yet, we have seldom noticed them so tardy in getting thein cut grain under cover. The rural correspondents of this paper became alarmed when they heard the startling dispatch. Îrom Ottawa, that many emi- nent writers live poverty stricken lives. Relax, bayseeds, relax! It's only eminent writers that die poor. We are not to be allowed to exist. THURSDAY, AUGUSP? 1,.! îm~a the Oshawa Rotary Club whlch now numbera more ithan 100 mem- bers.
