But he will be remembered as the young fellow who put The Boy Scouts Troop on its feet in Port Perry, and made it so popular that it has an eager waiting, list among the boys of the town. They will not forget Owen, In the United Church Sunday School he has been: afaithful and efficient worker; and some have looked for- ward to the day when he might have . become Superintendent as the years passed. But that must now be when-- "There'll be bluebirds over The white cliffs of Dover." 'Many are the expressions of good: will for Owen in the future that lies * before him. We shall expect to hear from him from time to time; and here wish to thank him for his continued and. practical interest in the young folk __of Port Perry. : : -Note--We are pleased to lear: that "Mr. Foster Vernon of the High School IY \fs FAK] 7 4 ed Nt weed oi LLL ~ EE, OSHAWA [i A FAMOUS PLAYERS THEATRE Eyes Examined Glasses complete, or lenses only, supplied where necessary, at reasonable prices,-- I.

Poetry: with a novel meaning was written by a citizen of Hamilton, Ont., nearly fifteen years ago. The last will and testament of Charles Robert Hodgson, made on the twelfth day of April in the 'year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, was written in four lines of poetry... Mr. Hedgson be- queathed his entire estate of nineteen thousand, four hundred and twenty- two dollars and eighty-six cents in the following words: "All my carthly goods I have in store, To my dear wife, I leave forever more, I freely give, no limit do I fix, This is my will, she the exccutrix." Mr. Hodgson died on the nineteen- th day of June in the year nineteen hundred and forty-one. The judge said that this was the simplest will he had ever read and declared it to be legal. Was this not the most pleasant and informative stanza of poetry that could have been read-to the wife of the deceased?
