BENTLEY Jeweller & Optometrist Port rerry "ROSE LAWN" Pickering United Church young folk have reason to be proud of their presentation of "Rose Lawn" a drama- uc play which was given in the Town Hall, Port Perry, on Friday evening last. 4 it is seldom that such a happy choice of characters is made or that the parts are so well taken. "Rose Lawn" has a mystery which holds the interest of the audience until the very end. The tragic parts of the play were very well taken--not over- aone. 'the musical numbers between acts were well chosen and were much appreciated. --a CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION 3 p.m.--Sunday School. 7 p.m.--Evening Service. Thursday -- Ascension Day--11 a.m. and 8 pm.

S. of St. John's Presbyterian Church enter- tained the societies from the Anglican and United Churches, at their last meeting for this term. The meeting opened with the usual devotional exercises, followed by a program of six numbers put on by the guests of the evening. Those who heard the program will agree with us, that Port Perry need never go outside its con- fines for talent. After the meeting closed, ten minutes was spent in com- posing limericks, with a choice of these first lines:- 1. "I know & young druggist named Andy." 2. There was a young man of Port Perry." 3. "There was a young girl in our service. ------------ EP TENNIS MEETING A meeting of all those interested in Tennis will be held in the basement of the Town Hall, on Thursday even- ing at 7.16 p.m. As many tennis fans as possible are urged to be present at this meeting.

The Uxbridge Times-Journal made the following comment regarding the presentation of "Polishing Papa", at Uxbridge: The Play "Polishing Papa" put on by the Port Perry young people under the auspices of the C. G. I. T. of the United Church, was presented to a fair sized audience in the Music Hall on Friday evening, April 22nd The C. G. I. T. girls with Miss Mary Real: at the piano, led for a short time in community singing, prior to the beginning of the play. The play itself proved very interesting and ' hamorous, with each character tak- ing his or her part very creditably. The different numbers between acts 'included a piano duet by Misses Val De Hortop and Helen Willard; a 'vocal trio by Storey Beare, Beverley 'Smallman and Tom Harris; A reading y Wedding" given by Miss | paper most decidedly lived up to its choir." The prizes went to Misses M. Goode and Val De Hortop, and Mr. Ivan Wallace, though remarkable poetic inspiration was shown by others notably Mr. H. G. Hutcheson. Lunch was served, and then the high event of the evening occurred--the night edition of the Port Perry Eye-opener went to press. Several games were played, until it was time for the evening. news broadcast of the Eye- opener from Station BUNK. The name, and gave everyone a hilarious half-hour, From the witty local news, society, lost and found, wanted, for sale, sports, radio, and editorial items contributed we would say that a lot of clever journalistic talent is going to waste in this town. The social evening closed by singing "The More We Get Together"; "Auld Lang Syne"; and the "National Anthem." In describing the event, these oft-quoted words would not come amiss--"And a good time was had by all. ---------------- EMPIRE DAY PROGRAM The Port Perry Public School are putting on an Empire Day Program, in the Assembly Hall, on May 23rd, at 2 pm.

Another claim item was $60.00 for time spent in pulling the weeds and raking them on the in- spector's instructions. He would also have to plow up 23 acres which should have a crop of hay. He claimed $644 for the loss of 23 bushels of clover which had to be destroyed on account of the weeds. Another item sued for was $16.00 for 60 bags of potatoes lost because he was prevented from look- ing after them by having to pull up the weeds in question, also $150 for 1000 bushels of turnips. $230 was claimed for 23 acres of land which would have to be summer fallowed this year instead of next, while he sustained a heavy loss by reason of the fact that not a farmer in. the township would buy from him know- ing that he had this weed on his farm. He placed the damage to his farm at $1,000, although he would not take $2,000 for the damage to both farms. Under cross-examination, Mr. Dure stated that he did not believe that the defendant company would intentional- ly defraud any one, also that the de- fective seed was an error on Mr. Mc- Nab's part. Mr. Dure said that tue buying and selling of seed was left to the manager, and that the directors did not interfere. James McLean, former seed in- spector for Central Ontario said that he found that the weed was choking out the clover in Mr. Dure's field. There was a weed between every two or three feet, and he advised him to 2" and 8" x 4" Hardwood for imple- ment material. 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12, Rough Hemlock, and Spruce D. & S. in 8 to 20 foot lengths. 2x8 2x10, 2x12, B.C.

Croskery, Agricultural Re- presentative, Uxbridge, testified that he examined the field and after con- siderable difficulty, he found that it was field pepper grass, getting his in- formation from Prof. Howatt, of the Botanical department of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Had there been no weeds there, the field would have produced an average crop of clover. The weed, he said, was not likely to come from local seed. It was a secondary obnoxious weed. An important witness was George Elliott, of the seed analysis branch of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, who, after submitting the re-| sult of an analysis of the seed sent in by Mr. Dure, said that in his opinion the seed was not of very good quality, and not likely to have come from a reputable wholesale seed house, al- though people sometimes made mis- takes. It looked like a pretty crude attempt on the part of some person to clean seed without the necessary apparatus. The plant was quite pre- valent in western Ontario and in some parts of the west. Mr. Elliott gave it as his opinion that any intelligent farmer, looking at the seed in ques- tion, should know whether it was good or not, Townsend Raynor, district seed in- spector for the Seeds Inspection Branch of the Department of Agri- culture at Ottawa for 27 years, tes- tified that he saw the clover field in question on the Dure farm, and the field pepper grass was quite prevalent.

The wit- ness estimated Mr, Dure's loss in clover seed according to the market price at that time to be $500. It was a pretty dirty sample of seed and could not lawfully be used for seed in Canada. The average farmer, he averred should know on examining it closely that it was not very well pre- pared seed. During the hearing the clerk's desk looked. like a miniature seed labora- tory, and several times Judge Thomp- son observed that he was getting some valuable lessons in agriculture. The "exhibits" included a large seed screen. - A history of the farm owned by Mr. Dure was given by William Lamb, whose mother was a former owner. It was a.clean farm witness said, fair- ly free of weeds, and he idered the weeds shown to him in the clover- field by Mr. Dure to be a great detri- ment not only to the farm but also to Mr. Dure in disposing of his crops.
