Two senior boys records were eclip- sed, speedy BILL GIBSON shatter- ing the 100 yd. dash by .36 seconds to get a new mark of 10.4.

GEORGE COCHRANE erased the other mark in the boys open compe- tition as he romped the 880 in 2'25.8".

Get Judgement Against Merchant A Port perry. garage has secured judgment against a Millbrook store: keeper for $300 as a result of a sale of two radios. Beare Motors, in an ac- tion heard before His Honour Judge J. E.Pritchard in the General Sessions of | the Peace at Whitby won a suit against Alex. Woods, of Millbrook. The defendant in the action did not appear nor. was he represented by counsel. ! William Beare, vice-president of the Port Perry firm, told his solicitor Thomas Harris, of Port Perry, in ex- amination in chief that in December of 1950, Woods had purchased two radio-phonographs from his firm at a price of $160 each, Since then the machines had not been returned nor had any payment been received. His Honour awarded Beare Motors $300 and County Court costs. Scout and Cub Mothers' Auxiliary The regular meeting of the Scout and Cub Mothers' Auxiliary was held June 21st at the home of Mrs, Wm. Chapman, There was a smaller at- tendance than-usual due, no doubt, to the nasty weather, During the business session, it was decided to pay for the paint which the Mens' Association have applied to the Scout Hall and which makes a big improvement, Mrs. G. Lane graciously invited the Scout Mothers to have the next meet- ing-at her home, Sept. 20th, Women's Hospital Auxiliary The regular meeting of the Hospital Auxiliary was held on June 15th last, at the "Del" restaurant, with the President, Mrs. Dymond, presiding. Mrs. Roy Cornish reported that the Public Library would be pleased to co- operate with the Auxiliary in supply- ing reading material for the patients. This offer was gratefully accepted, and a number of books were taken to the hospital without delay, These books will be exchanged by Mrs, Cornish and Mrs. Humphries af the end of each two-week period. Mis. Cornish also reported that the Gideons are going to place a New Testament in each hospital room, also one or two copies of the Bible in the hospital library. 3 As the hospital had need of num- erous articles to be made by seam- stresses this matter was taken up at the meeting and the sewing arranged for. Sometime ago the - Auxilinry de- cided to redecorate and furnish the children's ward at the hospital.- As yet this has not been accomplished, but we hope to undertake the work very shortly. Contributions towards this project will be gladly accepted. Mrs. Dymond gave a very interest- ing report on the convention of Hos- pital Auxiliaries (we are in region 8) 1ecently held at Peterborough, Ont. It would .seem that our own members, as well as the general public, have but little idea of the scope and immensity of the work done by hospital -auxilia- ries in general. The Hospital Auxiliary has decided fo hold a "Penny Sale" which is a new venture in this locality, and is to be on sale soon, and we do hope we will have many happy participants when the day for the draw comes, which will likely be next September. Our "March of Dimes" this year was not nearly: so successful as last year, oui receipts only be $61.00. contributions The following are gratefully acknowledged: Nestleton WA, iin $32.20 5.00 6.00 Mrs. Jos.

This concéssion on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Haugen has been a gredt help to the auxiliary, and we take this opportunity of ex- pressing to them our sincere thanks, There will be no_regular meeting of the Hospital Auxiliary until Sept. next. A notice will appear in the paper as to the time and place of the meeting.
