Rim 3 ", oR Re Y Someone w dirge--*'Port Perry's bauld 1 . livelier, more hopeful | d repeat it as an in- cantation to drive away the doleful dumps: If you want to live in the kind of town - Like the kind of town you'd like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip, And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind, For there's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town. It isn't your town--it's you. Real-towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everybody works, and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead. And if when-you make your personal stake, _ Your neighbour can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see-- It isn't your town--it's YOU.* A Warning to Prohibitionists The following editorial from the Globe, points out clearly the danger that confronts the prohibition movement in Can- ada. Forewarned is forearmed: "Hon. T. W. McGarry, the Provincial Treasurer, in a speech before the Third Ward Conservatives which appears to have stirred up the Premier, and brought the crisis in the Ontario Government a little nearer, made it quite plain that whatever may be Sir William Hearst's personal opinion, the : tario Government is not a prohibition Ministry. He assured "his audience that he was not a prohibitionist, and that the "coming referendum would be "wide open." This probably means that the Premier's anti-prohibition colleagues have forced him to consent to the framing of the reference to the people in such a way that there will be a ballot for or against total prohibition, and another for or against wine and beer licenses. Mr. McGarry's speech is a warning to the friends of tem- __perance in Ontario to'set their house(in order. The time be- tween now and September should be used in' perfecting vo- ters' lists, in the canvassing of doubtful voters, and, above all in getting the women voters of the Province aroused to the need of organization so that thc menace of the open bar shall be removed forever. The truth must be driven home that wine and beer licenses involve the reopening of the bars, the reintroduction of the treating system, and practically all the evils of unlimited sale." The W.C.T.U. are not interested in political parties, but the future opportunities for sobriety, and clean living are of intensest interest. This is the time of preparation, and we must not let our chances slip. W.C.T.U. Press Supt. A Flourishing Department. On Friday last, at the invitation of the Principal, the members of the Board of Education and the Agricultural Ad- visory Committee visited the new Agricultural and Household Science Departments of Port Perry High School. The visitors assembled in the Farm Mechanics Building where some seven or eight boys under the instruction of Mr. R. U. Irwin, were busily employed at various pieces of carpentry, and doing their work so neatly that high opinions were expressed of the ben- efits the boys were deriving from such a course. The next rooms inspected were the new Agricultural Class Room and its spacious store-room, and the Reading Room, all of which called forth many complimentary remarks, The company then repaired across the street to the Household Science Department in the schoolroom of the Bap- tist Church, where they were received by the teacher, Miss Glasgow, and a company of about eighteen girl students. A dainty lunch had been prepared by the girls. and this they served to the company of sixteen 'guests, After the repast .and a few words of welcome by the Principal; short speeches were delivered by Rev. John Harris, Chairman of lhe Board, Mr. W. A. Christie, of Bloomfield, and all the others. Warm 'words of commendation of the two new departments, and of 'Miss Glasgow's work in particular, were heard from every speaker. Great enthusiasm prevailed, and the meeting closed with three rousing cheers for the two departments, and the young ladies whose cooking everyone had enjoyed. While the two departments are already fairly well equip- os ped and are doing excellent work, the promise is that next 'year they will be much better than now. Remembered Lt.-Col. McBrien, D.C.O.| .

P. A. through you, for the splendid box they sent me for Christmas. 1 am sure I am very grateful to them for their kindness, and you may be sure it gave me more pleasure than it otherwise would have done, on account of my receiving it in hospital. There- fore I take great pleasure in thanking the fricnds again for their kindness. I am also very thankful to be able to tell them I am getting along fine now, although I have had the misfortune to lose one of my legs, and I hope in the near future to be on my way back to Canada. Canada would look good to me again, but I am not sorry I came across the pond. : This is a Canadian Hospital, but I would just -as soon be - with the 1st London in the city, as there is more to see there than there is here. : Orpington is a ver scattered village and very little to see. They boast of one picture show like Port Perry and that's their limit. It is about a mile from the hospital, so- every time you go to the village you get a little exercise. By the way, Jack Tinsley is here in the hospital. He seems to have been here quite a little while. I happened to meet him one day in the Y. M. C. A. I have been twice to his - ward but he was out both times: Hoping to be back among you before long. regards to all the friends in Port Perry. . Yours sincerely, W. J. Cafley Give my best A RECEPTION COMMITTEE The following letter was received by Mr. Stonehouse: W Whitby, Ontario, March 7, 1919.
