Walker, of Toronto, gave the bride in marriage, and she wore a gown of beige silk crepe of French design with May wine acces- sories -and corsage of orchids and ::iy-of-the-vuiloy. There were no -at- tendants.

Gaspe saw the third of Canada’s four minesweepers, built to replace the anoint trawlers which had served in that capacity since the w-ar, take the water. The fourth, H.M.C.tS. Nootka, will be launched at North Vancouver later this month. The F-nndy and the Comox have been sent down the ways â-  and all four likely will be in. commission be- fore the end of the year. About the last week in- August the Royal Canadian Navy will be streng- thened further when the . two destroy- ers, Ottawa and Restigouehe, arrive from England. Naval crews are -al- ready there to bring them over. They will be stationed at Esquimalt. The new destroyers are of the “0” class and were on the Royal Navy establishment as HjM.-S. Crusader and H.MjS. Comet, the Comet, which had been serving on the Mediter- ranean anti-piracy patrol, was re turned to Chatham, England, three mon-tiffs -ago for refitting. At that base -she joined the Crusader. (Both were taken over by the Canadian Naval Department in June. FAIL TO FIND BODY Despite continued searching and dragging -along -Symons Beach just west of Bowmanville, the body of five-year-old Keith Beales, of Tor- onto, has not been recovered. The lad was drowned Tuesday of last week when he fell out of a rowboat that bad drifted almost a quarter of a> mile out in- Lake Ontario from the beach where he was playing. -Local equipment, augmented by some from Oshawa: and Toronto, is being used in the search with police and lifesavers aided by fishermen and relatives of the boy. It is hoped that waves will wash -up the body on the shore in the vicinity, and constant patrol is being maintained along the beach.

To VoteaOn Hydro Purchase Some Time In October Ota- Friday evening last Orono ice Trustee Board met in- the -Orange hall to discuss the Hydro- question. " Mr. INattress, of the On- tario Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion, Toronto, along with Air, George Chase, of Bowmianville, were present, -and all questions concerning the Oron-o Hydro 'System were carefully investigated. Mr. Nattres-s -gave figures -concern- ing -hydro in, Orono, -and lie also showed that if the village had pur- oh- •:•(! the -system in 193-2-, they id have had it paid for in 1938, S the net -profit, after all expenses were paid, amounted to over $10,000. The system at -present would cost a tittle over $8,000, and is a money- making system. The bond-s to- -purchase the sys- tem would be taken by the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission and -'can be redeemed at any time. Mr. -Chase s-aid the system at pres- ent was- in a- better shape than it was ten years ago and is steadily growing as in 1917 the profit was $5-00- while in 1938 it had reached $2,279.05. After everything was carefully ex- plained by the t-wo officials, it was moved by Mr. J. Gibson, seconded by Air. H. Mercer, that the Police Trus- tee 'Board request the Ontario Hydro Commission to prepare the necessary by-laws to be submitted to Clarke Township Council. EXONERATED IN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT John Paterson of Montreal was ab- solved by a coroner’s jury at Port Hope o-f .blame in the death of Al- bert Ellis, 89-year-old Hampton man, who walked into the. path of Pater- son’s car west of the Port Hope and was killed on Sunday. Death was due to a fractured skull, testified Dr. Benson, also lacerations o-f the brain and a crushed chest. Albert Thompson- of P-o-rt Hope, nephew of the deceased, related that he had stopped his car in which Ellis was riding in ord-er that the latter could: cross the highway to see a friend. Dles-pite warnings of the wit- ness and his brother, Aaron, the eld- erly man let one car pass and th-eu unwittingly stepped into the path of another. “He appeared to run out in front -of me,” was Paterson’s description of the accident, starting that he had no opportunity to avoid the collision. , Paralleling the right-of-way of the C.N.R. and- the old base line through Whitby and Oshawa, surveyors -are completing the task of staking the new route for the four-lane highway continuing east of the Rouge River and. passing through the south ends of Whitby and Oshawa. This will necessitate the removal of the little brick s-choolhou-se in School Section No. 4 just outside the westerly limits of Oshawa o-n the Base Line, for which the government will pay $4,000 damages to assist the operations. PRESENTATION On Monday evening, August 8t;h, a farewell surprise party was held a-t. the home of Mrs. F. Sou-ch, who left -for Toronto where she will make her future home. About forty ladies at- tended the friendly gathering and presented Mrs. S-o-uch with a Ilym- n.ary and a bridge lamp. Miss Lil- lian All-in made the presentation- with a few well chosen words, after singing “She's a. Jolly Good Per- son.” Mrs. Sou-ch, taken by sur- prise, expressed her sincere appre- ciation of the kindness of her many friends. At the conclusion of the evening' iee cream was served. Burls, which are “warts'” on a tree, produce attnaictive patterns in the grain of the wood. -North Dakota farmers find- that drying winds have m-a-d-e gra-s-s -and weeds so tough that grasshoppers do not, enjoy them, and so concentrate on grain, Gives History Of The Cowan Family At Reunion Kirby went down to defeat in. the second game of the playoffs when Forestry hia-mm-ered Walker bard from the first innings and was re- placed by Shackleton who held For- estry well in check. Ken Neal had a nice hop on the ball which Kirby couldn’t hit until the last three in- nings, when they commenced to hit. Tlwo outside umpires were brought i-n for this game, Kenefi-ck and Moi-se, -of Newcastle, who gave good satisfac- tion- throughout the game. The game was called after the first half of the seventh had been played and then reverted ba-ck to the last full innings, the sixth. Forestry scored five runs in the first on hits by Cooper, Qgden, Neal, home run by R. Wood and also Mc- Mullen, -while MoOutcheon -scored for Kirby. Both teams were blanked in the second, while Forestry scored one run- in the third when Wood singled and scored on McMullen’s single; Kirby were -again blanked. Forestry landed o-n Walker hard in the fourth when they received five hits,' two walks land assisted by a number of errors, accounted for rails by Cooper 2, -Ogden, Wood, McMul- len, Cantrell, Convier, Glanviile 2, and Winter, while Kirby could- only count four on hits by Walker, Wright, L. Lo-wery and a home run by Coch-. rane. ; iShacklet-on took over the pit- ching duties for Kirby and Walker replaced J. Lowery -a-t short, and three runs -crossed the plate when Nèal singled, Wood safe on error and McMullen drove out a double to end the scoring, while Kirby retal- iated with four counters when Mc- Gutcheon was safe on an error, B. Keans and. Walker tingled, Shackle- ton singled as did Wright, Shack’e- t-on out going to third, Cochrane and S. Keane singled with Wright Scor- ing and Harris fti-ed out. Forestry wen t o-u-t in order in- the first, of the sixth, while Kirby .pushed three runs across the plate on singles by MoCut- c’h-eon, B. Keane and Wlalk-er and a double by -Wright who died on third. Tit Co-wan picnic wt|s held in Orono Community Park on Saturday after- noon last- when a number attended from Toronto, -Oshawa, Bowmanville, Port Hope and a large number from Clarke Township. The weather was ideal for the occasion and many ac- quaintances were renewed. (Sports were held in the afternoon and a softball game was played among the dan. Mr. W. J. Cowan, of O-shawia, was appointed president for the fallowing year and it was decided to make this an annual event, to be. held in the month of June. The following address was given by Mr. W. J. Cowan, giving the history of the Cowan family : Orono, Ont., Aug. 13, 1938 Ladies a-nd Gentlemen : As I have been, appointed Presi- dent I am asking a friend to read this history of the “Cowan’s.” My grandfather and grandmother came from Ireland in the year 1.832. It took them three months to cross the ocean. They landed in Quebec and came up the St. Lawrence River in, an old sco-w pulled by a yoke of oxen. They landed in- Haldimand County, remained there for a few months and: la tor settled in t-he To wn- ship of Clarke on Lot seventeen, in the Fourth Concession. It was -all. in woods art that time and -no close neighbours but the next morrjjng miy grandmother went to the top of the big hill in the same lot wondering if She would see smoke somewhere in the neighbourhood, but she heard a rooster crow and she dame home well pleased and said- she would go back the next morning and wherever that rooster was she would try and find it. IShe wen-t back the riqxt morning and a mile west-at the foot of Mount Tom there was a fam- ily by the name of “Fisher” that h-ad come from Ireland that same year, settled there and brought with them some hens. That was their closest neighbour, a toile' a-way and through the woods. Our grandparents had five sons- and three daughters, George, -Samuel, Alex, James and Robert, Ellen Thompson, Nancy Mulligan and Mary Jane McNeil. Grandfather died, four years after he came to this country and grandmother was left to raise this family. My 'father .was nine years old' at that time; My grandmother was Polly Adair and I think she was loved by everybody, and1 sh'e acted as a doctor in those days. TJn-cle George’s family -consisted of five boys and three girls; in Unde S-aim’s family there were three boys and three girls; Uncle Alex had three boys and three girls; Uncle Jiames had six boys and one girl; in our family there were five boys and one girls; in Aunt Ellen’s family- there were two' boys and six -girls; Aunt Nancy Mulligan had one boy -and three girls -and Aunt M-ary Jane Mc- Neil had three boys and four girls, so you can see that they all had large families. A BROWN BEAUTY Mr. J. J. GiltUlan was a very happy man on Saturday morning when Mr. Orme Gamslby -oal-led at hi-s residence at seven o’clock and presented him with a nice catch of speckled1 tro-u-t. Otoe of the trou-t, -a -beautiful -brown -one, measured 14 inches in 'length and -weighed 1 lb 2 ounces, so- why woiu-Mn’t'he (be happy. The trout was caught -art -the flume, ju-s-t about half a mile -from the town and Orme des- cribed the battle lie had in landing it. AVhen he received the strike he had about fifteen feet -o-f line o-u-t hurt -could not- land it, -s-o played with hiirn for awhile. iShortetoing up the line lie -again -tested the -heft of the fish -and w-as then -certain he had a go-o-d -one. Not wanting to lose it he Olympic Games Were First Started In That Country Last Tuesday evening a large in- terested audience enjoyed a camera study of “Ancient and Modem Greece,’'’ by Professor -Sisson, spon- sored by the Oirono Horticultural So- ciety at the beautiful home of Mr. M. H. Staples. The first part of the lecture depict- ed ancient Greece, showing scenes of the famed well of Delphi, also raina of the ancient temples of Appoilo, Qeu-s- and Delphi. Another group of studies depicted: the very beautiful valley of Sparta, which should have made these -people lovers of art and -nature, but this was a case where environment was- over- ruled by discipline, thus making these people a very ragged and sturdy race. The latter part of the lecture took us t-o the birth place of o-ur modern marathon games, whi-ch was at Mara- thon, one of the four meeting places of the ancient Greek -athletes. There were also numerous studies of agricultural conditions, also a very interesting picture of -how plowing is done in the more primitive parts of Greece, consisting of a yoke of oxen attached to a very primitive plow. Most o-f the fields are very small and some are enclosed by stones fences. There are numerous mountains in Greece and some of these are under cultivation to the top, the fields are. in terraces, thug giving them use of land which otherwise would be use- less. On top of some of the mountains are threshing floors- were the natives- gather to thresh their grain, though in other parts oif ' the country the equipment is up-to-date. - Prof. Sisson aso showed pictures o-f natives hauling lumber down the mountain. The timber weighs -about three or four hundred pounds or more and two of these are strapped to a mule, sometimes carrying a load of nearly a thousand pounds. After the lecture Mr. M, II. 'Staples thanked Professor Sisson for being present -a-nd giving this very interesting and illustrated lecture. All retired outside on the spacious lawn where a very sumptuous -lunch was served by the Society, consisting of sandwiches, cake and coffee. proceeded up the flume and pulled the fish up the water fall to the shoot and then brought him to shore safe- ty. After the battle he found that the gut o-n the hook was nearly severed and. he came nearly losing the beauty, which would have been an- other -good fish -story of the big one that -go-.t a:way. After the news had spread arcuu-nd the to-wn, -all the fish- ing ' enthusiasts rushed to the scene with fishing tackle, outnumbering the great -gold rush of the Klondike. F. J. Burns Elected President of C.W.N.A. At the Canadian -Weekly News- paper convention, held in Winnipeg, F. J. Blurns, publisher of the Adver- tiser, Kent-ville, N.S., was elected as president of the Association. There- tiring President is George W, James, of BoÂvmanville. -Cither officers elected were: H. T. Hallwell, of the Journal, Coleman, Alta., first vice-president, H. T. Rice, the- Huntsville Forester, Huntsville, Cut., second vice-president, and 0, V.

Lan- caster, • Havelock Standard ; John Marsh, Amherstlnirg Echo ; Andrew Welbb, Newmarket ; Hugh T-emplin, Fergus News-Record. Brace A. McKelvie, former editor of the Victoria Colonist told the as- sociation that freedom and democracy in Canada are in danger of being sub- merged by totalitarian tendencies. Provinces trying to. operate as sov- ereign states are upsetting Canada in the same manner as the Utaited- States- was upset prior to the Civil War. Canada needs leadership today as never before and it is up to- the press to see she is given that leader- ship, Mr. McKelvie added.
