Attacking Gambling The speaker decried the spread of gambling in buSiness, © He stated that gambling had formerly been confined to- the card table and the race course, but now it was in the stock raarket, the sweenstakes, the lotteries and the raffles. He pointed out gambling had Leen resorted to in an effort to raise money for charitable institutions, ana cven for the church in some instonces, "The raffling of motor cars is a straight defiance of the criminal code, and I don't care what position a man occupies in the church or state, by the law of this land the man that does that thing is a criminal", Dr. Coburn declared and it is regrettable that "the church of God and the charitable institutions should stoop to use the Devil's instrument of greed" in an effort to raise money. It was claimed that there could be no greater tragedy than for a young lad to win a motor car for 25 cents, a sbecause it would instil in him a desire to get something for nothing, and the voice of the Church of God should he raised against such a practice. "These things are all fruits and all parts of the acquisitive society 'in "ghich we find ourselves", the speaker asserted. "It is not individual greed, but society puts a premium on. ac- quisitiveness." Rl Each successive week-end seems to ring greater crowds to this popular resort, Mrs. N.

L County Council (Continued from front page) The Solicitor stated that there was no statute compelling the county to keep school funds in a separate ac- count, nor was there any legislation which said that it could or could not be done so far as he knew. The coun- cil might instruct its treasurer to]. open a separate account for this money but there would be very little advantage in it, for under the present acocunting system, it was very easy to ascertain the amount of money be- ing spent for education each year in the county. He did not think that there could be a special levy the same as was done for roads. The solicitor promised to go into the matter further and give the Coun- cil light on 'it before the session ended. : Ei. ik THIS HAPPENED RIGHT IN OUR COUNTY (Bowmanville Statesman.) In the Township of Darlington last week, a wretched situation was brought to light, when a young mother, living in a delapidated home, hardly fit for animals, gave birth to a child, without the aid of a doctor, a nurse or any of the comforts.to which a woman is entitled at childbirth, In this particular instance we are in- formed from reliable sources, the mother had not as much as a night gown to wear, until a day later, some neighbours who heard of the family's plight provided her with! them. Quite naturally the baby died. Per- haps it is better that it did, for al: ready five little tots live in that home, eking out a bare existence from the meagre pay received by the husband, who works on neighbouring farms. We are informed that this man. has been paid at the rate of 50c. per day for working long hours on a farm, and that this was increased to oi dollar a day in the summer time. What surprises us is that in the midst of a Christian community such things are permitted to exist. One| naturally wonders why it was, that when this -family's "condition was so well known 'by neighbours and town- ship officials that regular visits were not made to the home and the family cared for. The value of the com- munity nurse, is best seen when such cases as this arrive, It would seem to us in any event that a family having to exist on such earnings, should at least be cared for by some official, and that no mother' should be expected to give birth to a child in a house that is nothing more. than a shack, and with- out the aid of a doctor or any of the ordinary necessities for such an event. No 'doubt the family was partly to blame in not presenting the facts to the proper authorities, but at the back of this fact there is no doubt the fear of people on relief continually asking for supplies and help. One thing is certain, and that is that no family of mother and father and five little tots can live properly on 60c. per day. We may boast of our Christianity by attending church and donating toward foreign misions, but we are totally lacking in an apprecia- tion of Christianity if we, like the priest and the Levite, walk" by on the other side of the road. We may not be the cause of this or any other family's misfortune, but we certainly can help to make life a little happier, a_little more comfortable and: a little more livable, a > A Scugog is getting in the lime-light for-happy-wedding gatherings, Last Tuesday evening about thirty young folk gathered at the home of Mr. R. Henders, then all went on down the road very quietly to the new home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Chandler--then the noise began, All were soon in- things and a very pleasant evening spent. On Wednesday evening, June 3rd, a large number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of the bride's father, Mr, J, Milner and a great shower of useful gifts for Reta and Sydney, We hope they will live long to enjoy thém. Our young folk motored to Hamp- ton on Saturday to play ball and try and win the league shield which they have won" for the past two years, Ware T. Fegan vited in and treated to lots of good.

It is hoped we will see a little activity among the girls in the near future. : Baseball Port Perry Baseball club suffered a disastrous defeat at Sutton on Satur- day in the York-Ontario League by the score of 13-3. The locals put up a stout battle for five innings but blew up in the sixth, the victors chas- ing six uns over the! late before their opponents came back to earth. | From there on it was Sutton's game. While the winners corralled thirteen: runs, they did not deserve them, as the losers committed no less than seven costly misplays, putting run- ners in scoring positions and the bat- ters came through with the opportune hits, particularly John Crozier, whose two, two-base hits and single drove in four of the winner's runs. Gibson and McCue each collected a brace of safeties for the 'locals. "Buster" Marks relieved Clark and: pitched the final oe and gave a creditable per- formaMce and shaped up a good pitch- ing prospect. N. McMillan, 'Megill, Beare, and Gibson injected sparkling bits of fielding into the contest. The next game is carded. against Beaverton on Saturday and the fol- jd " _ delay, but phone us at once COAL.
