Single Copy 5c Mon ho RAW BY non Committee Hard at Work Preparing For Plowing Match at Brooklin While most of the people of the province are just beginning to. bask in the warmth of summer, one large and energetic group of Ontario citi- zens is all ready preparing for the brisk: days of autumn. They are the various committees, both local and provincial, who are charged with the duty of preparing for the 43rd International Plowing Match to be held,at Brooklin, Ontario County, October 9 to 12 inclusive. During the past few weeks the various local committees, as well as the various committees of the Ont. Plowmen's Association, under whose auspices the match is held, have been " busy laying the groundwork for the big show. ; ., Some idea of the gigantic task fac- ing them can be gleaned from the fact that some 200 tractors of vari- ous makes have to be provided. Aec- commodation has to be arranged for hundreds of contestants to say noth- ing of the thousands of visitors that annually take in the International, For the four-day match virtually an entire city must be erected and serviced, This entails the provision of sanitary services and an adequate supply of pure water, electricity, tele- phones, restaurants and many acres of parking space. In addition acres of tents and exhibit space must be provided. iT Of great importance in certain sec- tions of the province, contour "plow- ing will again be included in this year's competition. This class "was eliminated at last year's match at Leamington where it was impossible to find a suitable location adjacent to the match. In addition more than usual interest is being evinced in the County Farm- stead Improvement competition. Many Ontario County farmers hav- ing started to improve their lands and buildings with an eye to the generous prizes allotted in this connection. On the local level the Ont. County Committee is spaiiig no effort to provide a County luxhibit. worthy of the important part Ontario County plays in Ontario's agricultural scene. F. A. Lashley, Secretary-Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, stated today that the prize list cov- ering some 40 classes would be avail- able within a few days. Copies of the list may be secured by writing Mr. Lashley, care. of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, Toronto, "Even at this early date there has been a large number of applicatioins for exhibit space at the match," said Mr. Lashley, "It would appear that even more exhibitors than in previous years will take advantage of the In- ternational to display their products. I am confident that this year will be a banner one in the history of the Association for all committees are workifg hard at preparing for the best International yet", Eastern Star News Blue Ray Chapter, No. 238, held its last meeting before the summer holi- days in the Masonic Rooms with a goodly number in attendance.

The annual picnic which was to have been held on Tuesday, July 10 was postponed because of rain but will be held the following Tuesday, July 17. It was moved that the Club give $100.00 to help paint the Recreation Centre. Further plans were made to sponsor the Brenda York Cooking School which will be held in October. The possibilities of forming a Girl Guide organization in Blackstock were discussed. District Churches One of the greatest advantages of moving from one Pastoral Charge to another, is the new friendships that are formed, We-don not forget the old friends, and their 'great contribu- tions to the life o fthe Church; but it is the new that attracts us and holds us. And it is amazing how soon one begins to feel at home and wonders whether one hadn't lived in this environment all one's life! it helps tremendously when the people respond to the cal lof God, and come to His Sanctuary on the Sabbath. If only we could understand that the Ser- vices at God's Sanctuary are planned to challenge, refresh, encourage, and comfort us; then more and more we would be there. Not even fishing on the Causeway can give us the life of a Church service, and maybe, we would enjoy our picnic and our fishing much better, if before setting out, we would give God a part of the day. Therefore, it might be a good thing if the Pro- estant Churches would also have Ser- vices at 7.00 a.m, for the benefit of those who are going out to explore nature. ' " Gradually Grace United Church on the Island is filled up. Our people are getting accustomed to the 10.00 o'clock Service.

Heron, area secre- tary and guest speaker at the gala banquet in Nestleton Community Hall, where on July 6, the Nestleton Wom- en's Institute proudly celebrated fifty years of achievement. Certainly friendliness was the key- note on this occasion when under the capable and energetic leadership of their president, Mrs, M. Emerson, the Nestleton Hall was transformed into a garden of flowers, with the Institute colours of blue and gold predominat- ing. Perfume of yellow roses from the beautiful gardens of Mrs. Herman Samells and Mrs. Cecil Wilson played no small part'in creating this atmos- phere, for at this dinner dozens of yel- low roses formed an appropriate set- ting for the truly magnificent three- tiered cake, which was not only the centre head table decoration, but an object of admiration. Mrs, Oscar Fd- wards, of Toronto. a former member, performed the ceremony of cutting the cake. The president introduced thé head table guests who were, Miss Ethel Thompson, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Geo.

Forder and Mrs. Wm.=Steele, long life members, received the guests and many old ac- quaintances were renewed before sit- ting down to an excellent dinner pre- pared by members of the group. This dinner by the way was most efficient- ly. served by senior members of the 41 Club, Misses Josie Hoyer, Joyce Hooey, Margaret Davidson, Aileen VanCamp, Beth McMullen, Suzanne Schwartz. These girls received much praise from the guests and praise should also be given to their leaders Mrs. S. Dorrell and Mrs. R. Bowles who are doing a great work with these future institute members. An impressive ceremony took place when Miss Ruth Prout read the names of all past presidents and seeretaries as Miss Ethel Thompson placed a white flower in-a bowl when a de- ceased member's name was said. Community singing was enjoyed hy the guests. This was enthusiastically led by Mrs. Lorne Thompson, Presi- dent of the Blackstock Women's In- stitute and a former member of the Nestleton Branch, who was assist by Mrs. Lawrence Malcolm. Mus. L. Ihomps=on, in a costume of fifty years ago, also delighted everyone with her inging of "The Second Minuet", and "Lindy Loo". Mrs. A.

May she have a speedy re- turn to health, Another head table guest was Murs, W. Burns, a member of the Provineial Board of Women's Institutes, who brought greetings and congratulations from that group, It was an interesting moment when Mrs. W. Brown of Bowmanville, the district president, after graciously congratulating the members of the Nestleton Women's Institute on their many services. and accomplishments over the years, presented to them a silver tea service. This way accepted on their behalf by Mrs. Emerson, And there has been no more tireless presi- dent than Mrs, Fomerson, who has re- presented the Institute at many levels both local and provincial. There is a lot of work in connection with a gold- en anniversary such as this and a "reat deal of credit and maany thanks should be given to Mrs. Emerson and her many able gssistants.
