In a recent survey of children of North America and those of Europe, it was found that our children fall far behind the foreign children. One of the features of this programme was a field day held Tuesday night where some 250 children from Colborne, Brighton, Lakeport and Grafton competed to take home a trophy for top points of the evening. We are glad to announce that the trophy was presented to Colborne and was accepted by little Bev. Post, one of our juniors. The next outstanding event will be the Playground Talent Night which will be held this Friday night. We hope that you will all come to see our show. The children have been working very hard for it. -- Arlis McLaughlin, Playground Super- Trentonian, Courier-Advocate Amalgamate Starting this week, The Tren-tonian and Tri-County News will incorporate the Trenton Courier-Advocate into its pages.
