The park is the biggest (asset of the village and a large num- ber was looked for to attend this meeting. In the absence of the President, Dr. Colville, Mr. R. R. , Waddell opened the meeting. He tollid those present what the meeting had been called for, being to find ways and means to raise money, to erect a shel- ter in the park. This year the Agri- cultural 'Society was not using the street for anything, and thought it a good time to have a street fair, or â- some such celebration. The last street fair was held on June 17th, 1936, when the hoard realized -a sum of $309. lie thought around August 10th to he an opportune time to hold the event. There were many people who visit the park on week days and: 'on Sunday and if it rained they bad mo other alternative Itblam to pack up and drive off, as there was no shelter Whatever, and one was badly need- ed. He then called for the nomina- tion of a â-  chairman and secretary to act for the evening. W. J. Biddell â€" M. Cowan - That B.. R. Waddell act as -clmi-rmlan for tine meeting, and Mrs. J. R. Cooper, secretary. Carried. Mr. M. Cowan thought it would ibo a good thing to hol'd a sports day on, July 1st, lae there was no 'Célébra- tion just around here on that date. He suggested that they could have baadbaill, and softball, «too invite ten- nis stars here for exhibition games, also swimming stars, and miake a charge of 25 cents. Hie stated that street fairs had played out and with a sports day it would be doubtful if the park would hold the crowd. He informed the meeting that he could induce Boss Wilson, a second rate tennis sitter of Canada to partake in the tennis games, and that track and field events could also be held ini the afternoon,. Mr, J. J. Corn vsh was strongly in favour of M. Cowans suggestion but he also thought that something else besides' sport should take place. Mm James Dickson was of the same turn Of mind and to also, give « car away ias a Special attraction on August 10. Mr. W. J. Riddel «add he was Strongly in favour of sports, but with -the Orono Lodge celebrating the 12th of July this year in Orono, it would be too much in such a short period of time to celebrate three days, July â-  1st, 121th and August 10th. • He said the Lodge were having sports on the 12th of July land that it was: not fair to the Orangemen to hold a sports day on the IS.

Y-ou have to depend ‘too- much on the wealth-er, if it rained the day wduld have to be -dailled off or post- poned and ftihat w-a-s never saitfefae- to-ry, but with a street fair it would be held whether it rained: or not. Mrs. J. R. Copper thought it would nlo-t be advisable to hold a sports day on, July 1st, o-n account of the- 12th e-d-eb ration being so close, -and that the Lodge had already sent, out in- vitations to the other lodges inviting them to celebrate in Oro-no. Mr. Riddell moved that the citi- zens of Orono l-.old a street fair, -a draw -of some kind, and also- a dance -if seen, advisable on the 10th of Aug- ust. This was seconded by Mm J. R. -Cooper. Carried. Mr. -Cornish wanted to- know if they had! anyone in mind to look af- ter1 the draw, if -one was held. M r. -Riddell told the -meeting that he did not want -the responsibility of Hooking ‘after a draw, but wouWi as- sist in any way possible to help along with it. He said he has- been in dha-rge of two draws- and ilt was time 'some one else took it over. A central eomdittee was formed. Consisting of R. R. Waddell, Albert West, Mrs. Cooper, Neil Porter, Oldie Co-oper, W. Riddell, E. J. Hamm, J. J. Cornish land Dr. Colville, to look after the -arrangements and to ap- poi n-t sub-committees. The" meeting then adjourned. pense, so -they finally 'confined this section to -the .noaldbter class only.

The field: crop competition is ex- 11 iAi-ng considerable interest and -a good list-of entries is -already in the hands o:f the ‘secretary. No action was taken regarding the Curlers addition- to the rink. The -esitimlates run into real money, and 'the Directors' want to- see some de- finite -silgmis -of support before they Commit themselves- to this expense. ! County and | j District News I J D. H.

GIVES TALK ON PEACE AT W.M.S. MEETING An interesting meeting was held by the -Women’s Missionary iSo-ciety of Park Street United Church on Tuesday afternoon. This was their -annual Easter meeting and M'rs. Affleck, of Oshaiwa, w-a-s guest speak- er. Mrs. Affleck is very interested in the work of the W.M./S, and is also a Preslbyterial -Officer. The meeting o-pened by singing Hymn 184, with Mrs. 'Smith a-s pianist. Mrs. R. Rain-ey led in prayer. Mi-ss Davey, president, read the Easter lesson. Mrs. Howard Walsh read an Easter thought, then Hymn 187 was sung. Mrs. C. Wood gave -a, reading, entitled “-Dollars and Cents. Mrs. W. Seymour and Mrs. Stuff took up the offering. A duet by Mrs. Drummond and Mrs. (Smith, accompanied 'by Mrs. M. II. -Staples, “When I survey the wondrous cross,” was well rendered. Mrs. iS-taiples was then called on to introduce the guest speaker, Mrs. Af- fleck of Oishawa, who chose for her -subject, “What Price is Peace.” She said that “we wouldn’t pay the price, so we didn’t get peace.” She told of different ways that would make peace possible. The war between Italy and Ethopia, for instance. If the other countries' -of the world had not sold gasoline to the Italian, government, they -could not have carried on the war at all. They wo-til'd not have been aiblle to use trucks1 for transporting troops1 and! the different other uses that gasoline is uses, 'and there would have been no use of the airplane. Italy herself ha-s no gasoline in her -own -country. If all the other coun- tries would go -against the nation that wants to fight, and mot sell her any -of the raw materials that is used in the manufacture of war material they would not be able to start a war, -but no, the other countries are al- ways looking for some pl-ace to, sell this raw material whether the coun- try is at -war or not, and as long as that happens there is sure to be wars. •Her (address proved very interest- ing and was told quite cleanly. After Mrs. Osterhout repeated the benediction a delicious lunch was served'-by the members o-f the W.M.-S.

O ---â€" Drumhead Service Will Be Held Either On June 12th or 19th A very pleasant evening was spent at 'tih-e Legion meeting held in the Orono -Orange Lodge -room on Friday -evening of last week, when! -the :Bo-w~ roamville Branch held their regular meeting in1 Orono-. The meeting was to be more of -a social nature so very little business- was transacted. ‘The Oro-no swing trio, consisting of Carlos Tambl,vn, Torn Allin -and George Rowe s-upplied the music for -the evening with snappy and: popular pieces. Mr. R. M. Cotton, secretary of the Bowmanville Branch, gave a talk on the Magna Char ta and (aifeto- on Fas- cism -and CoTtimuniSni. The Magna Chair,tia, has long been a favourite slubjecit to Mr. Cotton, who- said if the people in democratic countries would live up- to the Magna Char ta it would -be -a lo-t more pleasant than under the different forms of isms. Mr. Cotton was one of -the first to take up this, subject -and now it is taken up by the Command of the -Canadian Legion. Mr. Ward also- gave -a -talk on 'this same subject and was glad that Mr. Cotton had brought it up before the meeting. (Mr. Ward said that the democratic countries weighed every- thing and were very cautious before putting things into operation, while the different isms took all- the short cults which claused more excitement for the youth and that this was (Vie of the causes for Fascism -and Com- munism, as the youth of today are always looking for action and excite- ment. Major Gainey -suggested ‘that it would be a, good idea: if the Legion -staged contests -among the school chil- dren, as an essay on the Magna Oliarta, or such subjects as may be deemed fit for the children. A drumhead service is to be held in -Bowmanville on either J-une 12th -or 19th. and a go-od speaker will be secured, for the -occasion. Two committees were formed at â- this meeting, one for “Public Obser- vance,” to organize for the drum- head service, consisting of 'R, M, Cotton, F. Living and ‘Reg, Harding. The other -committee “Y-outih Lea- dership,” was organized to interview teachers or school inspectors- for pre- parations for an- essay contest, con- sisting of J. -C. Gamey, Neil Porter and1 R. A. Forrester. The rest of the evening was spent in community singing, cards, and at one table, the old crown and anchor -game was in flulll swing. A very tasty lunch was enjoyed of hot dogs-, cake and1 coffee. A hearty vote of thanks: was tender- ed the Orono members by their Bow- 111 am-ill e brothers. ------:â€",â€"0-------â€"â€" In ancient Peru, the Incas- required a man who cut down a tree -to plant another. abolish the Provincial House and re- place it by a body composed of all the wardens,” he said. -a very delightful banquet was en- joyed -by about 150- members of the order.
