Practically all of the children con- nected with the church--and they are numerous--were conveyed to the pie- nic grounds in autos. Everybody who had a car turned out in the most generous way to lend a hand, and the kiddies treated to a wonderful joy-ride. : Many older people went along and shared the excitement. Part of the afternoon was given to games, but the iggest fun was got--by those who spent most of their time in the water. were Car Accident-- po While their cars were passing on a newly-gravelled road this week, Steve Garland accidentally bumped his car into that, of M. Bailey, through the difficulty of steering in the shifty sand. Fortunately, both cars: were being carefully handled and going slowly, so that beyond a scare to some of the little . passengers, not very serious damage was done. Through Steve having the foresight to have his car insured with D. Lane, the cost of all breakages is covered by an insurance policy. ~ a "Will to Win"-- We may call attention to theh ad- vertisement placed in last issue by the Federal Department of Agriculture. It is more than an advertisement; it is a call to united and cheerful effort 'a summons to the Canadian spirit of the "will to win" which has burned so brightly throughout Canada's his- tory---a spirit which is so well shown in a message received in Ottawa only most farmers: of the province of' Al- berta.

The Keewatin baseball team played Dryden two games on Thursday, win- ning both with the scores of 5--6 and 3--9. * . The first game was a fairly even battle. until around the sixth, .when Keewatin hit Duncan for a bunch of safe ones and secured a lead of four runs. The score stayed like that until the ninth, when Dryden got three runs and only missed winning on account of an error. ; ; The second game was a little differ- ent, although Dryden managed to keep the lead for the first three innings. After that Keewatin found Miller, the Dryden pitcher, and made the best of it. From then on it was easily Kee- watin's game.- i APA PSST SP AAP PTE Telegram ! In a wire to M. S.

LV NE eS yey ES Goodwill Works Wonders A good deal of unnecessary heat has Dryden Paper Co. to secure a fixed assessment from the Town of Dryden, and the "Ohgerver" has been criticised ha in avoiding comment, and on the othe of being injudicious in ts report of the matter. The question is a delicate one, and might easily become highly contro- versial! easily cause some irritaton. neglect of any effort to place the mat- ter befors the people would do more mischief. Avoidance of open discussion of such questions is never the best policy since it Ci to irritation of people affected. A frank presentation of the facts, given in a fair spirit, is unl; the shortest way to understanding and forbearance. The Company in this case is doing nothing unusual, It is sound policy for a hig business 'to try to expenditures on a fixed basis possible, to obviate unexpected' d culties. The question will be submit- 1 ted to the ratepayers as soon as arrangements can be made, and should be considered without prejudice in a. purely business spirit. In the mean- time it is not only permissable but i- right that every opportunity be given to both sides to present their case to he public. Comment should be res- when diffi "AGAINST PUBLIC DRINKING Manitoba yesterday rejected they, proposition that the public sale of beer § and wine in hotels in conjunction with meals should be permitted. The vote being in the negative the judgement {may very properly be considered as decisive. It is to -be assumed tha everybody that wanted the hotels to jhave the right to sell beer and wine nn out yesterday and voted. The total vote for the proposition cannot vet be given, but it is not very im-! pressive. The vote for beer and wine fell very far short of tle vote which was cast-on June 22 for total prohi- {anyone to pretend that there is any {substantial strenght behind the = de- imand for facilities for public drink- | ine. Even on the small vote the ma- 'jority against the proposal is substan- (tial; and it is not unreasonable in|' this case to count the unpolled vote* as unfavourable. The full strength of the beer and wine movement is reg- | istered in yesterday's voting: it jomost negligible. The beer and wine proposals ran directly counter. to public sentiment. It provided for public drinking which was a contradiction of the basic prin- ciple of the Moderation League pro- posal. It restored the old and vicious system of! the retail sale of liquor for the personl profit of the man who re- tailed it. This, too, ran counter to. public sentiment. Nothing could shake: the public belief that, in operation, the: 'beer and wine plan would work out, to something uncommonly like the old! system, even though the bars giant not be visible to the eye. ; is ROD AND GUN - Dealing extensively with the attrac- tion of Ontario, in the way of fishing, hunting and camping, and pointing out :the numerous advantages of the pro- vince with its splendid roads, fine hotel accomodation and all the advantages which await theh tourist, the July special tourist issue of "Rod and Gun in Canada" is one of the most attrae- tive issues of the magazine, with its: special cover, its numerous beautiful ilustrations and interesting articles. In addition to the extra section, the July issue is full of good stories. "Six Day with Paddle and Pack on the ISteel River" by Douglas Hains is a first-class description of this novel trip. "Coutuing with the Fontinalis" by J. E. Richardson, and "Excitement with a Sailing Canoe" by G. P. Sladen are only a few of the articles which with "Fishing by the Way in Can- ada" by I. D.

SE ee The ethics of boot-legging :-- + Magistrate Prongef has had quite a The better policing of the distriet is hav- ing its effect, and some who have hithert ibly felt themselves be- vond the arm of the law, are being gathered in and shown that the way of the transgressor is as hard under 'one government as under another. Some people apparently fail to under- stand an academic (or political) ex- pression of disapproval of the O.T.A. 'by well-conducted citizens and inter- pret it as a willingness to condone offences against the ordinary law of the land, which makes illegal the manufacture or sale of inferior and often dangerous substitutes for booze. They may kid themselves that they only do it in protest against a harsh law but the unsympathetic cop is apt. to regard it as an attempt to gather in somé easy money. And the worst of it is, the Magistrate and the public generally seem more than willing to entertain the same idea. While a man is clearly entitled to have, a drink "every time he gets the chance, nobody seems to want to take the chance of eing poisoned. So the poor hard- working bootlegger is left without a friend in a world which only appears] to want to take all his money off him] in instalments of about $200.00 a crack. Viow 1. OY J. H.
