One good Fssolution passed at that convention--That the Prime Minister be asked postpone the second reading of the Township School Board in until the Legislative Session of 1927. That is a good move, and ol give the rural people time to think the whole matter gver. ere is a more gonstructive consideration of the Bill in some quarters, and some good. will FP ronior Ferguson yet. At Ottawa there was very much to see, snd needless to say we did not see it all. 'But we saw a great d ; "The Parliament Buildings The centre of interest in Ottawa is the Parliament. The new buildings erected at a cost of over ten million dollars, after the fire of 1917, are wonderful, =~ They ay built of Manitoba limestone. This is the same material as that used in the Mani- toba Legislative Buildings. It is a very beautiful stone, having imbedded in it millions of little shellfish that have become petrified during the ages, and which give to the cut stone the appearance | of having a sort of Mosiac design. The centre tower of the Ottawa House of Parliament is 805' feet high. The clock in the top of the tower is 151% feet in diameter and the figures are 26 inches long. A very suggestive | inscription is carved over the doorways of the main entrance: "The wholesome sea is at her gates, Her gates both east and west." When one remembers the wide spaces of our Dominion, it is quite an accomplishment to have written a couplet that embraces the whole land. The author of the couplet is a man named Mr. Ritchie, and it apears in his poem "There is a Land.' As one travels about the fact becomes inereasingly apparent] that it is very difficult to think in terms of Canada--the country is too big. 'We cannot take it into our minds intelligently. In- deed, many of iis never try. We are-very busy considering the near and far neighborhood of our own doorstep. The corridors, pillars, and doorways of this immense building are very beautifully designed. In the main hallway is_one wonderful pillar from the top of which spread out the -| graceful arches which go to make up the foof of this entrance to Canada's official administrative building. It is useless to try to describe it to you. The mind refuses to take away descriptive detail, but is wonderfully impressed with the vastness of the building, its enduring solidity, and the well .proportioned beauty | of its construction. Even ill-informed foreigners, who look upon Canada as a backwoods country clothed in snow, would be impressed by such 1 a building as this. We went to the House of Commons Chambér and saw where the .wordy. battles, which fill Hansard are fought. Saw the x FSpeaker's Chair récently"presented to Candda"by 'the British Parliament, made from wood taken from the Tower of London. We did not try any.of the seats, as the place was in the disarray of summer house cleaning. ~The Senate Chamber is smaller and more elaborate, as befits a chamber occupied by the "Lords of Creation". The Mural decorations are splendid. - «Wandering down. the corridors we came to the Library, with its 750,000 or more books. Here you might become informed upon "any subject under the sun, if you had the ability to master the language used. The books are there. All one needs is time and brains and opportunity to study. The books are still there. The half -a thousand we have at home, together with an armful of papers and periodicals each week will be sufficient to keep us busy, and then we shall not read them all. But to the book lover, what' a wonderful brousing ground the Parliament Library would be. At the back of the House of Parliament i is a*wonderful view of the City of Hull in Quebec, just across the Ottawa River. You can see the dominating features in a glance. The great Eddy match works, the towering spire of the Roman Catholic church, and the hundreds of workmen's houses crowded close together along the rough paved streets. -No greater contrast could be seen than the gradeur of the Parliament buildings on the Ottawa hill, and the huddled houses of the workmen in the city across the river. Once seen you will always remember this picture. A Deciding Garden Party ~ For sixteen years the subject was discussed as to where the Qanadian seat of. Government should be.

Three others from Casearea were fined $10.00 and costs for shooting at ducks from motor boats. War- rants are being served to several others for Sunday shooting. OO SCUGOG INDIAN WOMAN ON "THE SILVER SCREEN : Some Port Perryites visited Shea's Hippodrome Theatre, Toronto, the other evening, were rather surprised when under the head of "Fox News" the usual number of recent happen- ings which had been filmed (by which the movie patrons get their news of current events by picture rather than through the medium of the press,) were being flashed on the screen pre- vious to the "Feature", to see Mrs. Isaac Taylor of Scugog in company ra will day 'with a number of Rama Indians in native costume taking part in Indian Ceremonies: "There's Mrs. Taylor" said one to the other out loud enough 'to attract attention, and pointing ex- citedly at the screen, much to the amusement of the theatre goers in adjacent seats. "Shut up" said his companion not enjoying the attention attracted thereby. Well, a movie isn't a church, you can speak. out if The other patrons didn't have any friends in the picture or they would have said something. em res CARTER SCHOLARSH]JP By the will of the late J. I. Carter, Esq. of Sarnia, three Scholarships are offered' to each of twenty-five counties in the Province of Ontario to be competed for annually in the High Schools and Collegiate . Insti- tutes of those counties. The volue of these scholarships are $100, $60, and '$40 respectively, given to the three best candidates in the county in ten subjects of Upper School work. This year the second scholarship for Ontario County has been captured by Alvin Bell, of Port Perry High Schogl, , His achievement is to be re- garded all the more brilliant when it is remembered that he did this at the end of his third year since: passing his High Schogl Entrance. "This -is- the seventh time that a Carter Scholarship has been won by Port Perry High School. It is known also that Grant Rundle of Port Perry High School, was a close runner-up for the third schelar- ship. -- COUNCIL PAYS TIMELY VISIT At a Special Meeting of the Town Council held last Saturday evening, Mr. Hutcheson offered to motor, the members out to the Goodison gravel pit, to see the grades of gravel pro- duced there. As the Reeve was not satisfied with the grade we were get- ting, the offer being opportune, was accepted and. o nMonday morning the. Reeve . Sweetman, . Councillors Hutcheson and Somerville and -Clerk Purdy made the trip. The operation of the pit was found interesting and the' visit was timed fortunately as they were actually screening a car of a grade that seem- ed very suitable for our roads here, much more so than we had been get- ting and the car was promptly com- mandeered by the Reeve with more to follow. ~~ We would like to describe the operations of digging, screening, breaking the larger stones, grading and -waswing the sand, but it would | be too long a story.

Bickle on October 13, 1925, Port Perry has lost a well known figure and respected. citizen. Mr. Bickle was born near Peter- boro, 75 years-ago.- When a boy his family moved to Mariposa Township where they farmed for a number of years, "After reaching manhood he went to Brooklin and spent four years with his uncle, J. B.
