The ladies of the congregation, as is their custom made bountiful pro- vision of good things to eat, includ- ing raspberries and cream: Judging from the remarks of those who ate, there was general satisfaction, An enthusiastic game of ladies: softball between Seagrave and Honeydale was played in the 'afternoon, with" Sea- grave the victors. In the evening a friendly game of ' hardball -between Seagrave and Port Perry was wit- nessed by a good crowd of sports, who enjoyed the game immensely, there being no "free for all," just one good laugh after another. The score was in favour of the home team. Follow- ing the supper, a three act drama, "Mother Mine" was put on by the Nesleton People, and held the close attention of a large audience. The parts were all well taken.» The drama was a beautiful combination of what a real mother and son means to each other. Special mention is given to Mrs. Ferguson of Nesleton, who acted the part of "Mother", which was a ser- mon in itself, Music and two fine solos were rendered between acts by the Netleton People, which was much enjoyed. The booth under the auspices of the Quadrata Girls' Club did a good busi- ness in serving refreshments. At the close a vote of thanks was given to all who had helped make the Festival a success, and to the entertainers for their delightful Church' drama. Proceeds amounted to nearly $60.00. . * * * Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Beadle received a- pleasant surprise on Monday when the family gathered at their home in honour of their Golden Wedding.

LET'S DECIDE Lotteries, raffling and: all games of chance, are, according to official law,. strictly"illegal, There are mo clauses legalizing them, whether the pro- ceeds are to. be utilized for 'relief, crippled children, to erect a few town pump, or to pay off the mortgage on the old homestedd. The law says no. But following the war a new regime came into being where the govern- ments, considered that where the money raised was for a good purpose they would close one eye and look at the sky with the other. And so the practice has continued until both eyes have closed and raffles and lotteries have become almost a habit. Recently citizens were "ruffled when the auto 'which the Rotary Club was raffling to obtain money for one of the finest causes in the world, the crippled children, was seized with thrée" local boys who were selling tickets in. Guelph. A fine was im- posed by the Guelph. police magistrate and the publicity given the seizure almost stopped the sale of tickets in outside points, The whole matter seems uncalled for. If the practice is illegal why not let the government condemn it and" issue warnings that will 'immediately stop any organization from entering on such a proposition? Or if it is to be condoned and overlooked as doing a good: work, why not make it legal for an organization to run any type of gambling just so long as the proceeds are to be entirely devoted to charity or relief of some nature? It is an opportune time for the government to decide whether to make provisions that will enable clubs and societies to continue with assurance that they are legal or else {o place an absolute ban on the practice and en- force it, ~ ~ Bowmanville.
