We were boys together at Gloucester. We sang in the choir of the cathedral. I took my wife forty years after to see the seat from which I sang. She was not a bit enthusiastic. I was reminis- cent of the Hallelujahs, Creeds, Te Deums, Amens; she was more interested in a stained glass window. I bust my voice in one of the oratoric arias--I think it was "O Rest in the Lord."' Now I only croak, and I know that _ silently she thinks IT am lying] when 1 recall my glorious boyish alto. And you, also, may think I am stretehing truth when I tell of Seda So only in my gaddings do I tell of Giddings. He was a stoutish, freckled boy, two or three years my sen- ior. We were both at a prepara- tory grammar school. "Prepara- tory" is a word that explains a lot. 1 never came as far as a real grammar school. This is so evident when I write that we need not dwell. Some of us never get far from the begidd- ings. Well, as T was saying, before this feeble play on words, there was something likeable about Giddings. I write this after two score of years. Probably Gid- dings, writing about me today, would say the same things. Like- ly more so, because his memory will be even more pleasant, as, in our daily fights! he always licked me, To the uninitiated, everyone had a daily fight at preparatory grammar school. Strange how memory plays us tricks. It may have been a seed cake that Giddings' pater, who was a baker, sent once a week to Giddings filius. But I re- member a large plum cake cov- ered with rich, soft icing. The English call raisins, plums, in the same manner that they call pie, tart, Why they do so, I do not know. Possibly for the same reason they call a tomayto, a tomahto. Anything to be differ- ent. Well, Giddings was not a greedy boy. He was the original good boy of the old 'school read- er, the boy who divided up his cake and let everyone in. " With every boy he knew he shared, and more than half he always spared."' The day the cake arrived Giddings was the school hero. Other days we might hear of Robin Hood, Richard the Lion Hearted, Du Guesclin of Here- ward the Wake, but on cake day it was Giddings, good old Giddings, stout fellow Giddings. '"'Give us a piece Gid. old chap," was" the slogan of the school. Well, in due course we parted, he, to learn his father' s trade, and. I, to emigrate to cut cord- wood in an Ontario bush. When my wife stuck a hair- pin in the baking cake to see if 'it was done, "the Iuscious smell ever brought memories of (id- dings. When her 'cake was a failure I never told her of Mother's cake, it was always Giddings' I extolled. Alas, that Fate should have separated us! Not long. ago, I was in Eng- land and in the leafy month of June, and that same Fate, that a 1 have just abused, drove me to Monmouth. I lunched at the Stag, or maybe it was the Lion.

Looking out. of the Lion, or maybe the Stag window over the street I saw a most magnificent establishment across which was blazoned (I think this is more grammar than preparatory grammar school lan- guage) the name of Giddings. Oh that I had time to describe the renewed meeting with him: the mutual congratulations, that we had done so well, he with paste, and I with pulp; both fat, joyous and care-free. I. "Giddings, old man, you still give away cake?' Giddings. "Do I? Why, my boy, I put a plum cake in every hotel room in England on Christ- mas day." I. "Why do you do that? It must cost a pile." Giddings. "I know it does, but might T not do as much for my country as my cousin." I pondered afterwards. do Who was Giddings' cousin?

May.day witnessed the open- ing of the football season on the Trans-Canada, when a team from Camp 1-B-8 accepted the chal- lenge of 1-B-7 and went down in strength to conquer their rivals. The plan was to include baseball and horse-shoe pitching as well. but the fine program was spoil- ed by inclement weather. Under the conditions on the uncompleted right-of-way, ar- ranging a match between two neighbour camps partakes of the nature of an adventure. Al- though the distance as the crow flies is only four miles, the ter- rain between the aforementioned camps is cut up by a creek, that wriggles like a snake along the route. This forces a detour through the brush--a marshy boulder -strewn wilderness, which would discourage less hardy souls. But to the rugged men who have survived the blast and toil of bitter Winter months, crossing a bog or falling into a creek offers little terror, al- though it might be regarded as a big handicap in a hard-fought game, After a warm welcome from Supt. Macdonald and his crew of 1-B-7, the two teams lined up| on the foothall ground, which had been cleared and marked with lines of sawdust. The home team won the toss and elected to play with the wind. Notwith- standing the fact that they fac- ed a regular gale with some sleet lashing their cheeks, 1-B-8 con- trived somehow to score the first goal. Within a few minutes, however, their opponents had equalized, and before half-time was called had added a second counter to their score, 2 to 1 in favor of 1-B-7 at the half- -way mark, On changing ends, after a short recess, the struggle was fiercely renewed by both teams. With the wind now in their favor, 1.B-8 landed another ¢lever shot in the opposing net, thus tieing the score. The game ended 2-2, a most satisfactory : finish indeed. The welcome clang of the Sinner gong started a general tush for the long dining hall where the visitors were enter- tained to a glorious feed served by 'Canada's Biggest Cook"? and efficient staff.

COUNCIL MEETING It was an hour past midnight when the regular monthly meet- ing of the Council adjourned Tuesday evening. Mayor J. S. Wilson presided and there was DRYDEN GOLF CLUB ANNUAL MEETIN G Is WELL ATTENDED Officers a full quota of members in at-|- tendance, Mt. J. H. Parr, President of the Agricultural Society was bresent at the meeting with a request that he Council cooper- ate with the Society in the erec- tion of some kind of a shelter for the exhibits at the annual exhibition at the Fair grounds. It was pointed out by the Coun- cil that the only type of build ing the Town had ever consider- ed assisting with, was one suit- able for a skating rink and the cheapest structure that could be erected for this purpose would be in the neighborhood of $10.- 000, which made the idea pro- hibitive at the present time. Mr. Parr was however advised that the Council would give the mat- ter of a building some sort of further consideration. The usual grant of $100, to assist the Ag- ricultural Society, was made on the motion of Councillors Strutt and Bridgewater. Acting on a petition of resi- dents in the neighborhood of the water hydrant on the corner of Duke and Casimer streets, re- questing that same be kept in use, the Council decided to al- low this and to charge consum- ers a rental of 50c per month. The Court of Revision was appointed for the year, the fol lowing Councillors being mem- bers of the Court: Messrs. Bridgewater, Wright, Willard, Strutt and Dr. Morison, The Tax Collector's Roll for 1932 was turned in by the Col- lector, Mr. A. G. Ripley, and the Asgessor's Roll for 1933 was also accepted by the Council.
