Vo!. L No. 52. ORONO, ONT., THURSDAY, JAN. 20, 1937. Subscription, $1.25 Per Year. Patronize The Continuation School Hockey Game On Frid ay Evening Fair Board Should Sponsor Some Special Classes To Increase Interest Such As Field Crop Compe- tition or Plowing Match, Says President The animai meeting of Durham Central Agricultural 'Society was •held in the Orange Halil, Orono, on -Friday afternoon l-aet with a good •number in attendance. Mr. W. H. Garnither*. President of the Association, occupied the oh air. and thanked the officers and «directors for their hearty co-opera- tion last year and also thanked Mr. XV. J. Riddel: and Miss Eileen Rid- dell for their -splendid help rendered to the Society. He regretted the falling off in exhibits of horses and cattle at the Fair and attributed this to the number of fairs that were held on the same day in this district and that something should be done to prevent this, ns it was hard enough to run a fair without having other fairs fall on the same day. He 'thought it. would be a good thing if the directors made a personal canvas to secure more exhibitors to show at -at Fair, and that the Fair Board should sponsor some special features each year, such as a field crop com- pel it ion or a plowing match. That to keep interest in the Fair we have to keep bringing in something new. Mr. Jack-son wanted to know why the new turnstile had not 'bee#" pro- vided a-.- it was called for in the minutes of the last annual meeting. Mr. Oarruthers said that the new -turnstile would no doubt he in use on tiie next Fair date, that it would have changed the plans of the propos- ed park if it had been built this year. Mr. Gibson reported that, there was a.good exhibit, of poultry at the Fair, -but thought that the public did not have enough time to see them. He thought it would be better if the poultry was brought in the first day of the Fair and judged in the fore- noon of the second day. Mr. Rail also thought that the poultry should be brought in the first day and judged on the second, and that the directors should consider making this change. Roots and vegetables were num- erous, and -the apple l showing was of good! quality, but not very many «fiasses were filled. After all the reports were heard with regard to the different classes, Mr. Oarru thers congratulated the Women’s Institutes for the excellent displays they bad at the Fair and thought, that this should be carried Earns Promotion H. C. JAMBS, who on February 1st becomes assistant general pas- senger agent, Canadian Pacific Railway with headquarters at Montreal. Mr. James is at present district passenger agent for the Company at Saint John N.B., and brings a wealth of experience, earned during his 23 years Cana- dian Pacific service, to his new post. on. Mr. Cowan, in charge of the Buck- saw Contest, stated that the contest had caused considerable interest at the : Fair, Ibtrfc - was nut sure "if- it; - ser- ved its: object by drawing people to town earlier in the day. -Mr. M. FI. Staples, treasurer, gave a detailed account of the financial report, and then read the auditors re- port which -was received and passed. Mr. O. W. Roiph thought that the ladles should organize as one com- mittee with their own -chairman and secretary, as he thought they would enlarge their interests and would co- operate more readily in this- way. The ladies did not commit them- selves -one wily or the, other and sa,id they Would think it over. Messrs, Elliott, iSouch, T-amblyn and Airni'S were appointed a com- mittee to see if a field crop -competi- tion could be held successfully. Mrs. J. R. Cooper was1 appointed as delegate to attend the annual con- vention with the president, Mr. Car- rot,hers, -as alternate. It -was moved that the 1938 Fair be held the third: Tuesday -and Wed- nesday in September, with Messrs. Staples. Carrot her* and Gainey given the power to change same if it con- flict® with other Fairs of the district.

This is no 'dis- grâce to the home lads, the .visitors being a, much larger -and heavier and faster team and were very much stronger on their feet, but for team play and stick handling w-e -think the local lads had the best of this, hut this w-ais offset by the -weight and speed of the -visitors. Young Don Goode, in goal for the locals, gave a good account of himself and stopped- many shots that were labelled goals. He is small and the large-pads and big -goal stick kept him from -mov- ing around fast enough. We wonder the heavy equipment did not; get him down. We consider this Crooked Creek team would give the high -ehool team an argument and would like to see them, clash in the near future. -Crooked Creek scored two goals in the first period-, tw0. in the second, and two in the third, while Orono scored their lone tally in the first period. The local boys were always: cheeking their opponents, sometimes two and three would' he needed to get the tpuok from their opponents. The Midget team Would: give a. good account of themselves if they had opponents -more their own size, weight -and age. All the Orono .play- ers throughout, the game played, good hockey and they kept the opposing team busy' trying to -get away from them, for they were all over the ice at times. This team with a little more practice and more weight will travel far .in. ih.-, ; pear, future,. .

'Not only is1 he the youngest warden ever to sit in counties council, 'but be is the first member from Brighton Township to occupy that post .since 1850.

The warden suggested investiga- tion of the. costs- of administration of justice and hospitalization, stating that if the comities were relieved to some extent in that regard more, funds could be diverted to much- needed road improvements. He ex- pressed the hope that politics, which he felt had perhaps entered too much in the past into counties council, would be forgotten in the common desire to further the interests: of the ratepayers. These games subject to changé. The game tomorrow night is the first game of the season and a speedy contest, is expected. The hoys- would like the support of the community and cheer them on to victory.

HORRIBLE EXAMPLE W-e. sometimes hear of cases, Such casés we deplore; Where, lacking skirts and braces - Men rob the mere,liant’s store. Or. seeking transportation 'To distant field's more green, 'They reach their destination On pilfered gasoline. ’Ti.-s matter for conjecture. They start to play the fool ; I'ltev .spurned.to pamsfe.jec.tnpe.. They dodged- the iSuuday 'School. They -sought out; shady ficton, - They aped the profligate Until they faced conviction For crimes against the 'State. They burglarized the tourist, They took his robes and wraps; His whiskey (Scotch arid purest), His priceless gingersnaps., Now grief is in the offing, There’s fears of prison hats For those who- went acoughing- Tn stolen motor cars. iS-o let us all take warning From lessons such as these, And rise up in the morning To earn our bread and cheese. Let’s plow ami sow and harrow, In quest of honest dimes ; I.et’s tread the pathway narrow And read- the “Weekly Times”. â€"CONTRIBUTED COOPER’S BARBER SHOP Will remain, open on Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday nights- as us-u-al, but will close on 'Monday and Fri- day evenings at 8 p.m. and 12.30 (/clock on Wednesdays.
