This work could be Ee for«about $150 and if some of our citizens wish to undertake a task that would be of real value and greatly appreciated, that task would be to provide the necessary funds to carry out this work. Two things would be accomplished by such a proceeding. One would be, that the property would be greatly improved at small cost and the other would be, that employment would be given to men who are seriously needing it. + - Much is being said to-day about the great men of the Empire and one would not wish to rob them of their proper praise; but the fact is that the greatest men and women in Canada today are those who face the coming winter with but little in their pockets and no prospect of work. It takes more than ordinary courage to do this without grumbling.

BLACKSTOCK On Saturday, July 30th, over one hundred relatives gathered at Hamp- ton Park for their tenth annual Mountjoy picnic. The children en- joyed the teeters and swings while the older people played a game of base- ball. The sports ranged from races, three-legged races and a coat race for the younger people to a "time" race and a scramble for peanuts and kisses in which all could take part. While all were still around the tables after supper had been served, the gathering was called to order by the president to choose a new executive for next year which resulted as fol- lows: President--Mr. Mervin Mount- joy; Secretary--Mrs. Ed. Elliott; Sports Convener -- Mrs. Everton 7 | White; Managing Committee--Maessrs. T. Mountjoy, Will Mountjoy, Cephas Mountjoy and Luther Mountjoy.

A LADY BRINGS JOY TO TWO LITTLE LIVES A lady phofied the Local Superin- tendent of the Children's Aid Society on Monday morning and this is what she said, or as nearly as we can re- member, "I would like to give two little girls a holiday for a week, in my home. I don't want girls whose parents are able to give them a holi- day but girls who are not likely to have a holiday of any kind unless I give them one. Can you send me two such girls?" We quickly responded, Yes." 1 knew I could get two little girls from our Children's Home but I thought of many other children outside of our beautiful "Home" on Centre Stréet, children whose parents would like to give them a holiday but can't because of these hard and dif- ficult days. We thought of our Public Health nurses, who go into so many homes m our City and at once put this question up to them. They quickly thought of one little girl, then another; in a short time, two little girls and their mothers had been interviewed and you should have seen the faces of all, il- luminated as they were with joy and pleasure at the prospect of spending a few days under such happy sur- roundings. What a flood of joy and happiness could be let loose if a number of our homes would open their hearts' and doors as this lady has done to give a few holidays to children who will not otherwise have a holiday this year. If this old world is ever to be filled with peace and joy and goodwill, we will all need to get busy. This is the best way on earth to get rid of our exclusiveness, our selfishness, our jealously and all such hateful stuff. By the way; the Children's Aid So- ciety has charge of a very fine little baby girl about six months old who would bring a world of joy into any home. Marjorie is one of the finest little tots in the world and she needs a nice home very badly. What mother heart will come forward and say, "Give me this child?"
