ORONO WEEKLY TIMES NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS BOWMANVILLE The sound of the coal man is heard in lire land today as he fills the cel- lars; for the winter season, but. it is to save cartage with some dealers, as they wish to -clear from the. railway to the ipatro-ns ipremises. 'lire -Globe and Mail’s new game “Gross Cards” is the latest and many thereby have -caught on. Well we are- a wotiderftil people but the grass- hopper plague and the J u ne bu g go es mi just the same and also racketeer- ing, notwithstanding all man’s genius in the line of getting people to think of something. A very large congregation at St. Paul’s church and a fine discourse by the minister, Rev. F. Bannister, on Sunday morning last. Trinity church is closed) this month. During Aug- ust St. ; Paul’s will be closed. -Many United churches are doing this- in Toronto this su minor and in some plaices are .-mat conducting evening service during the hot weather. Quite a few of our citizens and O'shawa attended the Flute and Fife Band Competition at “-S-minysi.de”, Toronto, a week ago Saturday. The girls".band :of -Oshawa looked very Thick’ in their handsome uniforms a-nd -also , played well. A very large large crowd was present. Several from here took: in the big Orange meeting at Exhibition Park on Tues- day the 12th. Family -gatherings arc -becoming more iraquent every summer jand the idea is a good one. The gathering I-of tiro clans is just as mroort.ir.t to- day as in days of old, not for war purposes:, certainly, but for that which wlill he a -memorial to those who bore the burden of pio-ii-eer life and made life so mu •!'. easier for those that fol- lowed, We are pleased . to note so many gatherings of -this season. The temporary bandstand erected by Chalises garage has been removed, it being to-o-close to the Main street, v,au-ing a blockade on -Saturday even- ings. In fact I here is not in town a good spot for a handstand. . Citizens ' wiiilhoPgo to the Rotary Park, ( ream of Barley is the best spot i-rv town and Wiith a -bus fare of 5c, wo imagine the people would be pleased to patron- ize this Sue playgrounds,-:once a week at any-rate,! Perhaps you have -not noticed, but the erectionof' that big broadcasting structure at Mil ton, Ontario, and 'the closing of the Cooderh-am -plant here has taken six or seven families away out. of this town, which makes quite a galp in our population and what .about all those who made, 11 p the Do- minion Organ &- Piano Go’s, working commun'd’, and so we might go and switch on to “how far can taxation go,” but the chances are that is LESKARD Don’t forget, the meeting at the church service on Thursday evening. Miss Mildred Davey, Whitby, spent Monday with her mother, Mrs. E, Davey. -Miss Gertrude Dewell, B'owman- ville, is visiting with her grandmoth- er, Mrs. Mary Spry. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. R. IT. Arm-strong (Nee Leone Davey) on their recent marriage. The olmrch service held on Sun- day evening was well attended. Mr. Mel lor gave a very interesting ser- mon.

We • are glad to report that Mr. Harry Davey is improving steadily after bis accident while playing foot- ball at Soiina. Harry is in the Gen- era], Hospital, Toronto. We w.i-sh hi-m a speedy recovery. â- enough for one day. We are also pleased to note the financial side of the music festival came, out very well and that the at- tendance was of the largest of any held so far. -Port Hope people do not take the interest in musical affairs as they do here, which is regretted. Why, we do not understand. E-ven in band music it is not like it was - when the .late Wan. Phi Ip was- the head of musical - matters in that town. Well it is not -very encouraging when there is a surplus here that it takes that to make -up the loss in the -valley town- and what are you -going to do about it? We are pleased to note the 12th at Oro-jio was- a -great- success and a vorolerfni demonstration of Orange- ism. Wo well- remember the Orange walk that took place .there some 75 or 90 years ago -when- John Hilyar-d Gameron, the head o-f the Order in Canada,-- was - - the : ' -chief speaker. It was a -great 'occasion. There were 8. bfinds in the procession on that day, O rono, Xewoastle and Bo-wina-nville. Go-1 lard was leader of the latter town. Freeman, of Newcastle and -we-im- agine Billings of Group, and the E Flat corner was the conductor in those early days. Masseÿ’s shop was the importa-n>t industry in Newcastle in that period and. it -was no trouble to beep a good musical oganiz-ation go- ing, the head accountant, Mr. Warner, was a host- in himself in that line, and Freeman was an exceptionally good musician,- equal to any we have today as a cornet or violin for or- cb'E’S-trn work, but the removal to Tor- onto o-f the Massey works -put an end to band music in our neighboring town1, but -perhaps history may repeat its-eif -in this line.
