Beautiful weatber, bountiful eals, exuberant and best of spirits-what mare is nieeded wiîh a beaaning bost andi charming hostesa, well piannie and roomy grounds and adeqnate buildings, ta bespaak a first-class family picnic? Sncb waîe the con- ditions an Wednasday last at -Swain Faim, lots 17 andi 18, concession 9, Dariington. During tbe years 1831 ta, 1845 five sisters and four biothers af the Wer- ry famuly, witb husbands and wives and families, came ta Canada fran Cornwall, England. One sister with, huaband andi family, calleti Pbilp, alone remaining ln Fngland. Eighty years ago this snmme-f or it was a sunmmdn's task then-Petei Werry wilb wife and famiy, and his sister Elizabeth wbose busband-Williain Phiip-and famiily made the trip. Hance il la fitting that the eventý shoulti be canimemorateti by thel Werry-Philp Famuly picnic'W-hich was beld on Wednesday, Jniy l5th., at the home of the former's grand- son, Mr. James Arthur Werry, bis wif e being a Vine Englisb lady-nee Noa Bines of Hols-,Worthy ,Devon, wha came ta Canada as racentiy as 26 years aga. The value of the family picnic as a medinum for llonoiing wortby an- castors, stîeng-tbaning family ties and developing dloser fiiendships may niot be shown maie significantly thar by nating that after maie than 50 years of following the systese of the Annual Family Picnie, with ramaik- abiy few lapses, seven of the nineý original familles were repimsenteti ai Ibis gathering. One brother had only two childen--the son dying iný youlh anti the daughter in middlei life .when ber famihy inoved West; and one sister hati no family. Mi.

No announcement was made of where the next reunion is to be held. Notes By The Editor The rec~ord of attendane book has been mi.laid making it difficuit to get some naines flot f amiliar to us correct in1 the report. The naine and address of everyone was regist- ered on arrivai and a ticket issued ceontaining same for pinning on the blouse or coat for ready identifica- tion., Rev. E. A. Bellnap, the pastor of the host and hoste'ss, was an invlted guest and was a good sport among the young folk, joining enthusias- tîcally in their bail games and no one seemeci to get niore pleasure fron the association with the young f olk than did his reverence. That Mr. James A. Werry and sons Frances and 'Ernest are prac- tical ag-riculturists their farmstead (ýnown as Swain Farm to which they have added another 100 acres) gives abundant evidence. Order, sy- stem and up-to-dateneszs met the ob- server about the home, the build- ings and the fields. Crops of al kinds look very promising and the layout of the large iawn in front of the handsome new residence shows plainly that more than ordinary taste 'and skill had a hand in, the planning. Mr. Werry bas two fine fields of Faîl Wheat, one part of one of Éthem- 2eemed more advanced and showing stronger growth than the other part of the field. Mi. Werry ex- I>Iained how this difference came Pibout as the soul was practically the saine over the field. They use ar- tificial fertilizer and the supply be- came exhausted and the quantity necessary to complete the field was not procuîed. But the beneficiai effects of the fertilizer are so ap- ,parent that the crop on the parts on whieh it was used will far~ more than pay for the fertilizer and labor of appWying it to the soll. This field will glonvince any famer of the bene-1 fit -of u'oing artificia'l fertilizer. 1 1 I I -e J -WOODS-JOHNS PICNIC The ground,5 of Ejlliott Memorial Park, Hampton, preseënted an ani- mated appearance on Wednesday, July lSth., when some 150 of the above named families and their rela- tives gathered for their annual pic- nlic, members being present from East Whitby, Manvers,,.

J. Jackman & Sons Florisîs Phone 80 Bowmaniville Stateonta Block Bowmanville1 THE COLLACUTT PICNIC Memibers of the varionis branches of the Coilacutt family assembled on July 154.h., at the home of Mr' Loîne McCoy, .Bethesda, in picnic m-fan1ner ta do honor ta the name "Collacutt". Duîing the beginining of the i9th century two brothers, John and Rob- ert Coliacutt wlth their familles came from England and settled in Darlington wheîe as pioneers they hewed out homres from the forests which at that tinie covered thjs dis- trict. Robert's faanily consisted oji three sons, John, James and Robert and 5four daughters Alice (Mis. Awde), Elizabeth (Mis. John Hoidge), Amel- ia (Mis. H. Woods), and Grace (Mrs. J. Little.) 0f the three sons, John was a bachelor; Jamýes had two sons Uarry and Norman and four daughters Georgina (Mis. J. Phare), Phemia (Mrs. Phillips), Phoebe (Mrs. R. Hockey), Amelia (Mis. Jos. Wightý, Polly <Mis. J. Colwill); and Robeit had three sons, William, Rebeit Il. and John, and foui daughters Grace (Mis. M. Osborne), Elizabeth (Mrs. R. WoodIley), Alice (Mis. T. G. Coi- will), Polly G(Iîs. Levi Skinner,) The other brother John had a fam- ily of four sons, Robert (now living at Salem,) Richard, John and Char- ;les and six daughters, lWrs. A. Davis, Mis. M1,ayer, Mrs. M. W. Wiliams, Mis. David Foîbes, Mis. Jas. Onde and Susanna. Of this fasmily Rab- ert hias one son George and one Idaughter Nina, (Mis.. Conklin, King.o- ville,) and Charles has two sons Herbert now living at Port Perry and Charles at Toronto. It -was ta commermorate the names of thesi.,t-wo pioneer brothers John and Robert [that the picnic wvas held and also ta draw together the m-any famnilies re- iated ta these pioneers by blood and marriage. 1T-wo tbing-s wbicb strike one as unique when viewing the history of tbis family are thes.e, neaîly ah haýve followed f arming as an occupation, and nearly ail have made homes- in the Province of Ontario. The picnic was thought of only a week before it was held so that tbere was littie timne Vo commiiuniicaite- wçýith the numeraus famýli*es. Because of this lack of time saine of tbe fam- lues were not notified, while others Nwere not able ta arrange ta be pies- ent. Although thus handi(capped the picnic was a grand success. During the afternoon games of variaus kinds weîe onjayed by bath youcng and aid. A soft.'bail game played by the men falk afforded mach amusement. The Wiliiains brothers, batting for tbe winniing side received brilliant support from The home of Lorne McCoy witb its spaciaus iawns and farm bouse prov- edl tÈ ideal spot for the picnic. Heie one seemed ta he in a bigli naturai amphitheatre, the his rising in large tenraces on the east, nortb and west wvhile f ai ta the south appeared Lake Ontario as a blue haze. A large table constîucted on the beautiful lawn, was tastefully decor- ated with white madonna liles and bountifully furnished 'with chaice f ood. Tbe sun setting behind western bis, the wind gently whispering in the pines, the birds si*nging in the orclayd, the hymn of th-anks wafted softly, on a gentie sunimer breeze ail blended ta furnish a scene fuill of harmony. After supper it was decided ta 1- old another picnic a yeai hence for whicb piurpose a committee was appointed. By this arrangement it is boped that none of the relate(] families will be absent. The following answered the caîl ta be present at the first picnic of the "Collacutt Clan":- Mr. and Mis. Robert Collacutt, Mi. and Mis. George Cdllacutt and f amnily, Mr. R. H. Colidcuitt, Mi. and Mis. Cecil Cal- lacutt andý daughtar, Mi. and Mis. I.asli, Collacutt and daughter, Mi. and Mis. Narman Moyse and sans, Mi. and Mis.

Alter hlding ane regular and 1two special meetings ta consider let- ting of cantract for paving certain streets the town council afteî thîee hours deliberatioi Ianday nîght finally awarded the contiact for as- phaltic concrete pavement ta John- son Bros. of Brantford, cost af same will be about $42.000. Membeis of conneil weîe very mucb divided as' ta chaice of pave- ment. Ontario Amiesite Co. vho put up the strongest bld by salicita- tian and by taking foui mnembeis of council and tawn engiýneer ta _Mon- treal faiied ta receive a seajority vote. Warren Paving Ca., which firse laid the splendid' pavement an Kirsg Street foui yeaîs ago, also f eh short of approval when ilts tender was considered. Next was the bid of Brennen Co. for sheet asphalt whých was put into the discard by the close vote of one. Finaily, the tender of Johnson Bras, for as- pbaitic canciete was consideîed, the cauncil votinýg a Vie. Mayor.~ Ho]- gate then cast the deciding votG in favor of this firm. The vote for Johnson Bros. was then made unan- imous by a standing vote. Con- tract wiii thua be awarded ta Jabn,.- son Br 'as. suýbject ta the appravnl of the Town Solicitor and Towvn En- gineer. Consiclerable tsolicitation, sales- manship, lobbying and what is carn.. mnonly termed 'pull' weîe used by varions contracting fuses interested in secuîing this %wotk but we believe Johnson Bras. or their repiesenta- tives never visited the town frim the time tender was submilted until con- tract was awaicled.
