Hoffman, of Sudbury, became the bride of Mr. Kenneth William Ransberry, of Sudbury, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ransberry. Rev. J. D.

SWAMPED On Friday night the worst defeat of the season was handed Kirby by the Forestry players who hammered the offerings of Walker and -Shackle- ton to the four corners of the park, the slaughter was so great that the game ended in the sixth on account of darkness. In the first innings •alone Forestry crossed home plate fifteen times and it did not seem pos- sible that Kiilby would ever get them out find at the end of the sixth the score was 26 to 8 for Forestry. Kiiby were blanked in the first in- nings, scored three runs in the sec- ond and also the third, nothing in the fourth, two in the fifth nd: blank- ed again in the sixth. Forestry had their big innings in the firs t when they scored fif teen runs three in the second, blanked in the third, one in the fourth, three in'the fifth and four runs in the sixth. Neal, as usual, pitched a good steady game for Forestry, and can be relied upon to bear down in the pin- ches. Kirby this year lias played some good ball, while at other times they' can 'never do anything right. This winds ,up the play in the semi-finals and now Forestry will take on Orono for the championship of this district.

Orme G am shy attended Peter- boro Fair on Friday and Saturday last and was very favorably impress- ed in the manner in which the Fair was conducted and the exhibits. Our local reinsman, Mr. W. J. Wat- son, driving for Mr. Kennedy, of iBetihany, coming in for his full share of wards. Orme was privileged to visit at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Perry, of Peterboro, situated at Gannon’s Narrows. The Hospitality accorded Orme wais not confined in- doors, as with some assistance he re- turned home with four nice specimen of small mouth bass, one weighing four pounds.

TENDERS LET Tenders have been closed for 'gravelling1 Highway No. 7A, east from Port Perry, with tenders to be called on grading immediately it was learned on Tuesday. Work of build- ing of the road will be started within the next few days, but no paving will he laid this year. The highway from Port Perry to Peterboro was taken over as a pro- vincial highway last fall and gazet- ted this spring. Formerly a county highway, the road now forms an im- portant link in the Central Ontario Highwayâ€"ISarnia to Quebec. With improvement Work started on the Port Perry to Peterboro stretch, efforts are now being made to have the provincial government take over as provincial highway the county highway from Port Perry to North Tonge street as the final link in the Central Ontario route. â€"---------0----------- The U. !S.

Price, of Bethany,, remov- ed a 200-lb. safe and made their get- away. The entry was not discovered until about ten o’clock on Sunday and the safe was discovered later near Lindsay. The total amount of the lott se- cured by the robbers was only two dollars. The safe was used as a storage box for records. It was ruin- ed i rabeing forced open, and the records were found strewn around it. Provincial Officer Price Morris, of Bowmanviile, is investigating.

Barnes, Toronto oar parts salesmen, of Toronto, whose truck upset at Dean’s Corner, two miles south of Orono on Thursday morning, July 21st, and who was the subject of a three-day search throughout the surrounding district and later appear- ed at his home, appeared before Mag- istrate F. S. Ebbs in. Bowmanville Police Court on Monday. His Wor- ship reserved his decision for one week after hearing evidence of char- ges of reckless driving and failing to report an accident. Provincial Traffic Officer John Witty, ; giving evidence on the reck- less driving charge, said the truck had left the highway at a point 60 feet north of an “S” curve at Dean’s Corners, and had turned over. Hun- dreds of dollars worth of auto -ac- cessories were left strewn around the vicinity of the crash, for several hours before 'nearby residents notified the police of the- crash. Edward Dean testified that after he heard the crash, he had gone out to investigate and see if he could render any assistance. He had found a man sitting in the cab of the wrecked truck, and the man had remarked, “There she is, all in a heap.” Asked if he was hurt, the man had said he was not, Mr. Dean stated, He had further stated he was handling auto parts and that his hands. ' and face were smarting, probably from acid spilled from the battery. Mr. Dean stated he had then asked if the man wanted to use the phone, but had been told “No, it’s too late.” Barnes stated he had trouble with his truck on the evening prior to the accident, and had left it at a gar- age in Bowmanviile to be repaired'. He had gone with friends to Newcas- tle where he had a quart of beer. Re- turning to Bowmanviile, he had again gone to Newcastle later in the even- ing where he had a glass of beer. Later in the evening he had gone to Oshawa where he had another quart of beer. It was raining when lie left Orono, Barnes declared, and he had put up both windows in the truck. He had previously noticed .carbon monoxide fumes were seeping up into the truck cab from a leaky gasket, but did not think it would cause any harm before he reached B'owmanville. Leaving Orono was the last tiling he remembered until he came to, helping a motorist to change a. wheel on what * he believed, to be the new- road at Danforth avenue, accused, said. He again remembered visiting a Toronto golf course and later walking east, on Kingston road. He •couldn’t figure where his truck was, but had with him his club bag and' slicker. He made his way home on the Sunday following the accident, and spent some four days in bed. Some 8136 left in the cab of the truck at the time of the crash was missing When the truck was towed in, accused told the court, while about $100 worth of accessories, . and parts were missing. He had report- ed neither loss to the police, but had intended to make it good himself. He had lived in Bowmanviile for some six years, and he was familiar with the road to Orono, he admitted. On a further charge of failing to report the abeident, to police,- L. Mason, counsel for the defense, ar- gued Barnes had been in no condition following the crash to attend to the matter of reporting the crash. He was'served with the summons the day he got out of bed, but prior to that time had legal excuse in his condition, he ealimed. Magistrate Ebbs reserved his dé- cision on. (both charges. Orono Doubles Score On Forestry Team In First Game Of Finals N3WCASTLE GIRLS HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Orowther coached girls’ soft- ball team, of Newcastle, have con- cluded the ’38 season, hanging up a record of which they may well he proud, winning, fourteen starts as against one defeat is pennant win- ning ball in. any man’s league. In- cidentally their only defeat was suf- fered in the first diash of the year played in an exhibition tournament. George Orowther is to be conpli- mented on the excellent manner in which he has handled the squad, giv- ing unsparingly of his time and en- ergy. We feel that his efforts have not been: in yain for he has given Newcastle a. team of which they may well be proud. (With this writing your “Seymour” bows out from your midst. In the meantime if you would remember the now famous phrase of Red Dut- ton to keep punching, we shall leave you happy about the whole thing-. GEORGE REID The death occurred suddenly in Consort Hospital, Alberta, on Tues- day, August 16th, of George Reid. Bbrn in the jOowanville district George lived near Clarke Church un- til he went to.

I _______ Next Game In This Series Series Will Be Played Friday Night Forestry were halted in their win- ning streak on Tuesday evening when Orono defeated them by a score of 12 to -6. The game was well played throughout and very few errors mar- red: the efforts of the players. Jim Wood and Ken Neal both went the., route and the game was always in- doubt. 'Convier, Forestry’s star centra fielder, made the nicest catch of the evening when he ran after a fly and! reached out to pick it from the air land which was labelled for a home run. It certainly was a marvellous catch on -Oouvier’s part. Forestry had first batting and! scored one run when Neal doubled and scored : on Wood’s double ; while. Orono were blanked. In the second Forestry were blanked; while Orono scored two runs when McTlveen sin- gled and scored on Jim Wood’s dou- ble, who also came home on. a passed ball at- the plate. Foresrty nearly broke away in the first of the fourth when they scored four runs. 'Ogden- singled but was out when, after try- ing to make second decided to conn; back to first when Mercer tagged him out, Neal drove out a home run, Wood doubled and Middleton con- nected for. another homer to score Wood, Cantrell singled and scored on Oouvier’s single; and Orono had. their best inning also in the last half of, the third when Watson doubled and scored, on West’s single, Mcll- voen singled, Powers drove out ,a triple, scoring West and Meliveeii, iR. Cornish walked and got around to third, then, scored on a fielder’s choice. Forestry was blanked in the fourth as also was Orono. lr. the fifth Forestry secured one run when Convier sin- gled and scored on Cooper's single, while Oroiio added two when Powers drove out-a home run, 'Scotty Win- ter doubled and scored on Mercer’s double. Forestry were blanked in the sixth and seventh innings. Orono added two more runs in the sixth when West doubled and scored on, McTlveen’s double, Powers singled, scoring Mcdlveen to bring the game to a close with Orono having an in- nings to spare and also giving them a stranglehold on 'the series. M'cllveen had ,a perfect batting average with three singles and a double in four tries at bat, while Ken Neal.bad one home run, two 2- baggers and a fielder’s choice, the out being made at second base. Jim Wood had one strikeout to his credit and issued three walks, while Ken-, had two strikeouts and issued one' walk.

Candy Demonstration Enjoyed By W. I. Members Last Friday afternoon at the regu- lar monthly meeting of the Orono Women’s Institute, Miss Normardt, sister of Mrs. C. B, Sisson, gave an interesting demonstration on home-' made candy making. She chose as her special experiment the simple variety of fudge. Her way of cook- ing, testing and beating this candy was a little different from the ordin- ary way of candy making. When the fudge was 'completed, it was passed to the members and tested and all agreed that it was a delicious treat, also Mrs. Normardt exhibited ear- mels, Peanut Brittle, .and Creams. Her hobby is Candy making and her profits from her sales within the last few yéars provided herself and sister a trip to the coast with all first-class accommodations included. Arrangements were made to have a booth at the annual School Fair, Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. II. Dean to be in charge. Mis. Dickson extended a vote of thanks to Miss Normardt for 'her kindness in pointing out secrets in. candy making. The meeting closed with lunch..
