The 39th annual convention of the Ontario and Durham Women's Christ- jan Temperance Union, was held in the United Church, Port Perry, on Friday, June 156th. } Representatives from Uxbridge, Orono, Bowmanville, Hampton, Osh- awa, Port Hope, and Whitby, to the number of about sixty-five were pre- sent. Devotional exercises of the morning session were taken by members of the Port Perry Union, Mrs. Jackson at the piano, led the singing of the hymn, "A Better Day a Coming", an opto- mistic note which was characteristic of the day's programme. Mrs, Walker read the Scripture lesson, which was followed by prayer by Mrs. Farmer. Mrs. Booth, the President, then took the chair, and very ably presided for the day. Reports were good and every department was heard from, which was very encouraging. Mrs. Stillwell, of Uxbridge, in her own appropriate way, used the 23rd Psalm, with its beautiful imagery, as the basis of her thought for the noon- tide devotions. Dinner was served by the local Union at which addresses of welcome were given by representatives of women's organizations of the several Churches--Mrs. Nind, for the Church of the Ascension; Mrs. Wilkinson, for the Presbyterian Church; Mrs. Farmer for the United Church. Words of wel- come were also given by the following gentlemen: Mr. W. M, Letcher, Reeve of Port Perry; Rev. T. A. Nind, rectox of the Church of the Ascension; Rev. W. J. H. Smyth, minister of the United Church; and Mr. S. Farmer, representing the Board of Education. These addresses were responded to by Mrs. F. Staples, of Whitby. The afternoon programme Was taken up with a Memorial Service by Hampton Union, reports of commit- tees, election of officers.which resulted in the same persons being returned to conducted by Mrs. Geo. Jackson; a solo by Mrs. Harold Honey, accompanied by Miss ValDe Hortop; a recitation by Mrs. Pearce, were both very much appre- ciated. Miss G. Stovin's class of girls sang two numbers unaccompanied, for which much credit is 'due to both class and teacher. Miss Katerson extended an invita- tion to the Executive to go to Hamp- ton for the 1935 convention. The courtesy committee voiced the feeling of all when they moved a vote of thanks to Mrs, Davey and the members of the entertaining union for the excellent hospitality. Mrs. J. Wright, of Brantford was the principle speaker. ly the liquor problem of today, and claimed this present day problem should receive present day treatment. While the women of the Province re- present over 50 per cent. of the voting power, there should be ample oppor- tunity for them to sweep away the growing evils of the liquor traffic. In this work every church member of every denomination should have an active part. The speaker pointed out that the danger of the present situa- tion lies in the fact that the govern- ment has given liquor drinking the stamp of respectability. It was an easy thing to pass the door of old time bar-rooms, but it is a great temptation when the hostess urges her guest to take a social glass of" intoxi- cating liquor. It is useless to talk about bringing about temperate habits by increasing the facilities for drinking. It is equally useless to say that the Gov- ernment is not selling liquor for profit when millions of dollars are added to the revenue through the sale of liquor. Two means of fighting this evil are education and legislation, both of these are essential to success. Education conquors the territory and legislation is the reserve force which holds what we have won. sss. 'cpR V DR. W. S. HARPER Graduate of Trinity Medical College and Trinity University, Toronto.

Of the sixteen members of the class only six are now living--the youngest 77 and the oldest 87. Some of these six are still doing active work. "We had a very pleasant hour of prayer and reminiscence. Rev. R. N. Burns, D.D., acted as master of ceremonies, After the roll-call and prayer we were requested to give our first text and last, on our different charges, very few could give them; but each had some interesting and amusing tales to tell, which made the hour very enjoyable. After this we all repaired to the lovely dining hall where a sumptuous dinner was served and enjoyed by all. At the conclusion we parted with hopeful expectations to repeat this happy gathering in five years time. Rev. W. P. Brown, (One of the class of 1879) APT I Tan Jos By C. H. Tuck, Optometrist and Eyesight Specialist FACTS ABOUT EYES AND VISION Pay for Vision Not Blindness We have shown the common neces- sity. The value of vision to the Indian in recognizing his signal fires. The safety to the sailor in seeing the light of the lighthouse. And its mar- vels of value to the Wise Men follow- ing which they were led to their Saviour. Thus we have told the story of the past; but what of tomorrow. Today we are planning tomorow's needs. Every day brings some marvellous new invention, some new achievement to further promote the interest of our far reaching modern civilization, and the strain of civilization falls heavy upon the eyes. What greater gift can we give on vision where needed. If we need at- tention we owe it to ourselves and to others not to neglect. Nothing is more precious than vision. Protect it. Pay for vision not blindness, for efficiency not inefficiency. (To be continued.) os MIXED GRAIN FOR SALE A quantity of mixed grain.

The requirement for mem- bership ig 21 years service in the tele- not necessarily con- fined to the Bell Company. The mem- bership, of course, was small at the beginning, embracing only. those who had seen service prior to 1890, but has since grown to an enrolment of 1300 members in Canada. Outside of the personal association which membership accords, the or- ganization serves the useful purpose of instilling into the younger mem- bers of the telephone family the tra- ditional pioneer spirit that has made the telephone service of this continent the best in the-world. The President of the Charles Fleet- ford Sise Chapter is Mr. R. C. Douglas of London, and the Vice-President, Mr. D. M. D'Albenas, of Montreal. Mr. D. W. McIntosh, who is a mem- ber of this association, will attend the convention with Mrs. McIntosh. ---- eo -- UXBRIDGE 10--PORT PERRY 9 In an intermediate O. B. A. A. fixture at Uxbridge last Wednesday, Uxbridge nosed out the Port Perry entry by the score of 10-9. Uxbridge came from behind in the Ininth and a single by Bill Clarke scored the winning run which spelled defeat for Port Perry. The Port team played real ball during the first part of the game connecting with the ball count on their old rivals. The feature of that great inning in which five runs were scored was a home run by S. Beare. At that <ime there were two runners on the bases and they both brushed the plate on the hit. Going into the seventh inning Port Perry carried a nice lead, so "Jerry" Williams relieved Murray Clarke, who up to that time pitched lovely ball and kept the Uxbridge hits well scattered. Williams wasn't very effective and a couple of errors by the Port team paved the way for a victory for Ux- bridge. : s Line-up-- Port Perry--Gibson of, Williams ss and p, McGill ¢, Nasmith If, Cawker rf, Cornish replaced 'Williams in the seventh, MacDonald replaced Nasmith in the fifth. Beaverton come to Port Perry, on Wednesday, June the 20th, and Sun- derland will be "here the following week, Wednesday, June 27. The home team needs those two games to keep them in the running so be on hand each Wednesday afternoon at 2.30, and help the boys to victory. auspices of Greenwood Ladies' Aid on}: each inning until they held a 6-0 Girl's Softball Notes On Saturday, June 16 the Port Perry Girls! Softball team entered a tournament at Blackstock. = The other teams entered were Honeydale, Green- | bank and Blackstock: The result of | the first game between Blackstock and Port was 30-13 in favour of Port Perry. The following game between | Greenbank and Honeydale was won by Honeydale. Then Honeydale and Port Perry played off. At the end of] two innings, Honeydale forfeited the game on account of lack of players and so Port has another: tournament to their credit.
