An article appearing in the New- castle item's of July 2-1st, “that it was rumored Mrs. Wm. Rebee Sr. had disposed of her farm to Mr. E. Rinoh is erroneous. Mr. Rinch informed us (fiat he never bought the farm and has no intention of doing so. ! Shaping a nail before driving it into a wall is said to be a good pre- caution against cracking wall plaster. ing a tractor, plowing a field on his father’s farm, a mile south of Enter- prise, when the water in the radiator began to boil. The boy went to the front of the tractor with the inten- tion of taking off the radiator cap. He had no more than loosened this clamp when the oaip Hew up and steam sprayed his face, .arms and 'â- lest. FOR YEARS the name of Delà My has stood for courteous attention, high class workmanship and fair and reasonable treatment.

For further particulars see our local agent MR. G. A. BEAMISH - orono »ti 11 n â€" 6 BOW IV! AN VILLE Mr: I’. Sutton-s, violin -class .for â- orchestra work begins on Sept. 1st. Young men interested should avail themselves of this opportunity to get into this. The Legion Band advertised an -open air concert (Sunday evening at the beach but the rain called a halt. The season is coming to a close -and the weatherman can’t be depended bn as the days shorten up. Now that we have a number of Rotary and' Lions Club carnivals it will be in order for the next to have the committee that has -charge of -vaudeville features to think of fresh -ideas in connection therewith and a year -ahead is not too early to start. W-e notice Orono fair people are on the job with new features and even the big Toronto show have to be on the job good and early if they wish to hol'd the public. Nothing should be allowed to grow stale and a year soon slips -around. (So get busy. Oshaiwa Fair is (Sept. 12 to the 14th, Orono is Sept, 20th and 21st, and with good weather and good crops stored .away, a good holiday or two will do -all a power of good. So make calculations to be in Orono on the above dates. You know the whole -outfit depends on the farming com munity, although some nit-wits do -not think so. IS© when the farming community are doing well the whole (community, town ip-eonle and all, are benefitted thereby. So show your presence in Orono on Fair day and show that you are interested. The last four cars- that have 'been put up. at this town for .Rotary, Lions Clubs -and so on have been won by residents of this burg. We notice many districts -will not, allow the sale of tickets for cars. Well, we suppose it is on- the same principle that pos- sessed the powers that be in this town when they taxed circus and menager- ies s-o high that they gave the town the “go by.” The authorities thought. the show people took away more money than they spent, but just the same they spent a large sum, espe- cially when they travelled by .horse- drawn chariots, 'and especial, farmers who sold tons of hay and oats to feed the animals, and the butchers wh,: got rid of surplus stacks of meat, but this was- in- the good old days of Van A n-berg and shows of that period No doubt many music lovers, e=pe dally bandsmen will take in the Eng •Hah band prograr s at the Toron k Ex. We have not learned what day is Music Day for local bands, not L iving a program, but east of Tor "if o bands are not particularly in erested in â- competition: work. Why ve cannot say, Oshawa being the on ly place to send a band for that pur pose from .this district. We notice : new number of piano teacher on the list this new term, but one or two violin teachers, quite a number of youngsters on- brass band instruments but choir and vocal work seems to lie awaiting for cooler weather, anyway the good work of music teaching and practice -should not be neglected, no reason why we should have a fair or chestra and band in this town, a boys1 band, three or four good choirs, a glee club and -a dramatic society and an, .occasional old-time minstrel show, but with real songs, not that insanity species “See Me Wiggle My Ears -vw-li is anything but edifying. That certainly was some crowd that filled the Rotary Park on Thursday evening of last week, the occasion be ni g the Lions Club annual carnival and the weather being of the best brought out a splendid throng of peo pE from Port Hope, Whitby, Oshawa Or no, and all points of the County The parade was a very good one -and +he music by the different bands was as usual very good. Port Hope band in their dark blue -suits looked and •ph-.-ed well, so with Whitby in rind white uniform, and for a youngster’s I :d did -good work, but we are ml ways- pleased to have the girls’ flute band from Oshawa at those func- tions. they root only play well but look fine, especially on parade, as they play by note and have the pro- per instrumentation and their play- ing- appeals to music lo-ving people more so than the -regular fife -and drum-s, -and another feature is their -natty dress. They are .a credi t to--the •City of Oshawa and a feature in- any -parade. The children in the parade with their pet dogs, rabbits, and" so on certainly - took with both old and young, land the bicycle corps from Oshawa was a novelty in this district -and presented a good leading front for the parade. The Canadian Legion Band led the oa.val-cade and weather being fine the-band-men were not furn- ished with excessive perspiration. The different booths did a good business and -the Lions Chancellor of the NEWTONVILLE Mr. and Mrs. .Bruce Elliott motor- ed to Tweed on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. C.
