A SPECIAL MEETING of the Dis- trict Executive of the U.F.0. was held in the Van Horne Township Hall last Saturday, to decide on arrange- ments for the reception of J. C. Ross, M.A., of Toronto, editor of The Far- mer's Sun, Toronto, and Mr Levert, of Nipissing, director of the Farmers Co-operative Co., who will visit this district next Thursday, June 23rd, to study conditions here at first hand. The prominence of the visitors, and the value of their interest in this section of Ontario was "readily ac- knowledged, and it' was soon decided that a district picnic was the best way to enable the greatest numbed was held. Mayor Pitt occupied the chair, others present being Coun. Hill, Golden, Matthews, Wilde, Nor- gate and Beveridge. After the reading of the minutes| and preliminary discussion of minor matters, Council suspended business to receive a deputation from the W.I. regarding the swimming pool for the younger kiddies. Mrs Latimer and Mrs M. S. Campbell appeared, and after stating their appointment by the Institute, hey submitted a care- fully prepared statement of their errand. It had come to their know- ledge that the Board of Health had expressed objection to the practice of having horses enter the water and drink at the same spot where children were accustomed to bathe. Busy rumour had followed the story with the alarming statement that Council "Cheol" Mos!

In reply, Mayor Pitt pointed out that with one unhappy exception all the members of Council were in the proud category of fathers, and it would ill become that exalted con- dition for them to lightly regard, the welfare of the little ones. Admitting the importance of the recommenda- tion of the Board of Health, of which he had the honour to be a member, he felt bound to consider also that it involved interference with a long established custom, and Council must not attempt to find too hasty a solu- tion that might infringe on the right of either party. ~ The deputation submitted that they had already approached a few of the owners of horses, who had very cour- teously expressed themselves as pre- pared to come to some arrangement that would meet the objections of the Board of Health. They further. stated that the pool had been oe by the W.L assisted by several of their male friends, some of whom' now occupied seats on the Council. Coun. Beveridge thought that some power to select any assistance he might require to promote the success of 'the outing. Arrangements have been made to hold the picnic at Sandy Beach, on Lake Wabigoon, already one of the most popular resorts in the country. Starting at 1 o'clock in the afternoon automobiles will be provided to carry the holiday crowd to the beach, free of charge, along the prettiest drive- way in the vicinity of Dryden. = Seats and other accommodation will be pro- vided, and arrangements made for the comfort of visitors. Please bring lunch baskets with you for your party, with cups, but tea and coffee will be supplied. The picnic, which will held under the auspices of thePort Arthur and Kenora United Farmers' Political Association, will be open to all the people in this district, and the gath- ering should be one of the ereatest in Diyden's experience Prices F.

From a background of shady trees, the beach dips in a gentle southerly slope to meet the waters of Lake Wabigoon. The fine, smcoth sand and the regular contour of the bot- tom of the Lake at this point, offer an irresistible invitation for a swim. The young June foliage in the bright sunshine is restful to the cer, who was present, was asked to} join the discussion, and quoted the provincial o.cer in suport of his own opinion that the pool should be safe- guarded in every respect from possi- ble contamination, especially as the flow at-the point was rather sluggish.

Later developments would indicate that a solution satisfactory to all con- cerned will be reached. Mr Stevens, representing the Me- Donald Lumber Co., applied to have an electric light pole moved ten feet, as its present location interfered with the entrance to their lumber yard. Council agreed to do this, the lumber company to pay the cost. He then asked whether the Town would co-operate with them in im- proving the street corner where the lumber yard was placed. by putting in culverts so that the ground could be raised, allowing flowers to be planted in front of their office. Mr Beveridge explained that in similar cases where the improved frontage was an advantage to the property, it had been the practice of citizens to provide them at their own expense, and he thought it would not be advisable to set a new precedent in this respect. A motion was passed to adopt the Assessors Roll. It was also decided dance in the evening to provide en- tertainment for vigitors, at which it is hoped. many of our friends from neighbour communities will be pre- sent.

Campbell who hit a two-bagger, had never be- fore played baseball, and Tommy Walters, who nearly ran himself to death, they copped the game from the intermediates by 12 to 7.
