Elaborate Tree Planting At Lakeport School The Annual celebration of Arbor ay was held at the school house, Lakeport, on Monday afternoon, May 10th, 1937, instead of the annual picnic at the woods. The entire programme was patriotic in character, and was designed to celebrate the Coronation of King- George VI Queen Elizabeth on Wednesday, May 12th, 1937. The school house was nicely decorated with banners, flags and pictures of the Royal family. After a game of scholars and guests, the following programme was carried The first item was "Rule Brittania" sung by the senior pupils, accompanied by the teacher. Mr. Harold Kernaghan at the piano. After which, all standing, repeated following pledge, ied by Rev. C. G. Graham of St.Paul's Presbyterian Church: "I pledge allegiance to our Flag, to our King, and to our Empire--one Empire, indivisible, with Liberty, .Equality, and Justice for all; one God, one King, one Flag, one Pledge for all; one Destiny for all." Rev. Roy H. Rickard of Colborne United Church gave a very interesting talk on the boyhood of King George, telling incidents of his school days, his work as a midshipman, and how he overcame a severe physical handicap. He pointed out to the boys and girls how his strict discipline and devotion to duty had helped to fit him for the very important ; occupies to-day as King of the British Empire, of which iwe form a part. "The Maple Leaf" was sung by the school, all joining in the chorus. Rev. Mr. Graham followed with instructive talk on the Empire, e< paring the wonderful unity and strength of the British Empire with other nations, who have dethroned their Rulers in recent years, and are living under dictatorships. He quoted speakers who testified to the solidity of Britain as a calming and steadying force to the young people -in Canada as compared to other This part of the programme closed with all joining heartily in singing "God Save the King." The remainder of the programme was carried on in the school grounds where two trees were planted by the senior pupil! Frederick Peebles read the following: Fellow Scholars and Citizens: -- We are about to plant a tree in commemoration of our King, so that in time to come, as we look at this tree, we may see it as a living example of uprightness and usefulness, which we as subjects of our King should be. A well grown maple tree is one of the most beautiful things there is. We Canadians are justly Sroud of our fine maple trees. But, fine and splendid as they are, they are not more so than we may be ourselves, for there is nothing finer, or more truly or woman. "We can Tive beautiful lives, in fact we all should live so that people seeing us could say, "What a beautiful character !" Trees are also useful. In this country lumbering is a major industry, and the wood otf the trees piovides employment for many thousands of people. Trees provide a very welcome shade in time of great heat, and they also help to conserve moisture in the places where they are growing. We too must live usefully if we are to fill our propeT place in the world. This Then, assisted by Bruce Warm and Harold Calberry- I hereby plant this maple tree on the occasion of the coronation of His Majesty King George the Sixth. May it grow straight and true, with branches providing a lodging for the birds, and its leaves a shady shelter for mankind in the heat. The second tree was planted by Jean Rutherford, assisted by Phyllis Oke and Marie Tamblyn. The National Anthem was sung. Upon returning to the school room a dainty lunch was served by the pupils and a social hour spent. Rev. .Mr. Rickard moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Kernaghan for his work .in planning and carrying ouit this urogramime. and added a personal word of thanks for the opportunity afforded him in taking part. Mr. Kernaghan thanked all who had helped to make the day a success. Mr. ,Bruce Rutherford, one of the School Trustees acted as chairman throughout the afternoon in his usual kindly and efficient manner. LAKEPORT May 18th, 1937 Mr. Harold Batty of Pot Hope v ited friends here on Wednesday. Mr. Wim. Harnden of Eddy stone isiting his daughter, Mrs. Delbert Peebles. Mrs. Bruce Pogue and son of To-visiting her mother, Mrs. J. Youth Must be Served is Dan Howley's Opinion o a great start, the best thai any Toronto team has made in recent years, Dan Howley's amazing Leafs, the youngest team that ever started International Baseball League Campaign, have aroused Toronto to new high in baseball enthusiasm. The Leafs, hailed as semi-pros, by Baltimore newspapermen because of their youthful appearance when they opened the season in the Maryland city, have an average age of less than 24 years, which is from two to three years under the average of the great majority of teams in organized professional baseball. The Toronto infielders average less than 22 years. Frank Madura, second baseman who is '23. is the oldest of the four players that compose the inner defence of the Toronto team. James Walsh, big first baseman, is 22; Don Ross, third' baseman, is 22, and little Joe Gantenbein. the shortstop, is only 20. The three outfielders, who appear to have landed regular berths with the Leafs, are Mayo Smith. 22, Bobby Porter. 24, and Ted Petoskey, 26. Tommy Heath, the rotund catcher who will do most of the Leafs' back-stopping this season, is 24 years of age. Manager Howley is a great believer in youth, and his decision to start the season with this bunch of youngsters was looked upon with misgiving by other officials of the Toronto Club. However, Howley's judgment was more than confirmed by the way his players went out and won their first seven games. In no time at all, they became the talk of the International League, and Toronto fans could hardly believe their eyes as day after day the scorebofads recorded Leafs' victories. Major League t ball scouts, ever in search of promising young players, began to trail the Toronto team. The Leafs have working agreement with any major league club and Toronto owns all but three of its players. It is certain that some fancy offers will be made for some of the young Leafs at the end of the present season if they maintain their present clip. The Learfs" present home stand continues until May 25th. The series against the Newark Bears winds up on May 20th, and the Leafs will have an open date on May 21st. On Saturday, May 22nd, the Buffalo Bisons wail malke their first appearance In Toronto, and on Victoria Day, Monday. May 24th, the Leafs will play morning and afternoon games against thte Rochester Red Wings. They also meet the Wings on May 25th. closing of their home stay. The Leafs will return to Toronto on June 3rd for a three-game series against Montreal Royals. After that, they will niake a swing around the southern end of the circuit and not be r ajain until June 25th. :heese opened at thirteen and one-cents per poi nd at the first >eting of Belleville Cheese B< r than the opening price and should be a big encourage-to the dairy farmers of trie " let.

A time like this Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands.
