Jr. Farmers On behalf of the visitors and par- ents who had accepted the honour and pleasure of attending the meeting last night, we wish to thank the P.P.J.F. With many other interesting events on the same evening it was enlighten- ing to see and hear how very well the Junior Farmers are doing. It was an entertaining and educational meeting. The door prizes, kindly donated by Mr. A. M. Lawrence, and won by Carole Midgley and Ted Lamb, were greatly appreciated. We learn the Jr. Farmers had mailed money to those who had assisted them by going as drivers of tractors at the time of the plowing match last fall so these prizes helped |. financially as well as the thought of knowing others are interested. Mr. Gordon Carnegie was the donar of the door prizes of the meeting before | this one. We were told they were nice prizes also and appreciated. The boys' topic was "Beef and Dairy Farming. They had an interesting group discussion, The girls had Mrs. Edna McLaren give then an interesting and informa- tive address on arranging and grow- ing plants and flowers. One of sever- al arrangements was a scene in the woods in spring, After the Minutes and business a joint meeting was held for the boys and girls, and visitors. We 'took part in singing with Carole Midgley as the director, and Lillian Couves, pianist. They called up a surprise quartette consisting of Wm. and Ted Lamb, Sid McDonald and Harley Johnson, It was enjoyed, too. For a few moments we were wondering who might be called on next for another impromptu number or numbers. Thanks to the committee, Ted Lamb, John Leask, Maureen Donnelly and Carole Midgley for the lovely lunch. 1.0.0.F. News To many Oddfellows the month of March has become the play-off month, especially for' those connécted with hockey, curling, bowling and dart-ball, etc. Add to these our other activities and after we find too few nights in the week, After winding up our reg- ular dartball schedule, March 11, by dropping our last game, we then in- dulged in a bowling night, Tuesday, March 12. 'We had a little competi- tion from a hockey game that evening but a thoroughly good time was held by all. The door prizes be- ing won by Mrs. R. Webster and M. Déwson, On Saturday night March 16th we had the privilege of playing host to the third degree team from Corinthian Lodge. The calibre of the degree work done by this lodge is evident when we consider that they have been chosen to enact all three degrees at the Grand Lodge session. District 41 will share with them in this proud distinction. The following Saturday, March 28, approximately 175 Oddfellows, Re- bekah's and friends gathered at the Port Perry High School in an evening of varied festivities. Seventeen tables of progrdssive euchre were played in the auditorium and the following were the winners of the various prizes. High, lady, Mrs. C. Avery, Brook- lin; high gent, Mr, R. Burns; Consola- tion} lady, Mrs. C. Bolier, Ajax; 'con- solation gent, Mr. J, Taylor, Oshawa' ladies lone hands, Mrs, Mark Stainton, gents lone hands, Mr, W. Mark, Port Perry. In the meantime the dartball play- offs for the district were in session to the accompanyment of much uproar and excitement. In the preliminaries Ajax disposed of Corinthian by a 21-14 score while Port Perry eliminated Pickering-by a 14-7 count. In the 2nd round Ajax lost. their touch and suc- cumbed to Port Perry by a 26-6 score. The feature bout of the evening (as they say in wrestling circles) was to be played between Brooklin and Port Perry in a 2 of 3 series. Brooklin by virtue of league leadership had drawn a bye and judging by the first game intended to add the playoff shield to their laurels by whipping the Port Perry squad 33-14. Port evened the 'count with a rugged 26-18 perform- ance. The final game was a rouser and left everyone in a uproar. Port Perry finally winning out by a 28-26 score and thereby retaining the shield and also the honour of representing dis- trict 41 in inter-district. competition. This correspondent has made it' a rule not to single out individuals in these games as veryone seems to come Ahrough "under pressure, However, for a play-by play account I have no doubt that Reg. Foster or B. Beare would be happy to oblige "To many present the feature of the evening was yet to comé. We refer to the bar-b-cued chicken supper pre- pared by the Rebekahs in collaboration with I. Haugen. This, indeed, was planned as 'a fitting and enjoyable climax to-a very fine evening of varied entertainment. his committee for their very fine cffort. A vote of appreciation to the all who participated. We would like to remind all mem- bers about feature dates planned for April. April 8th will be a presenta- tion of 26 year jewels, conferring of Rb ey Degree, followed also y a Bar-B-Q. Chicken supper. On April 12th is planned by the C.P.T. committee for a Progressive Euchre (as advertised) and on April 22 the regular business will be followed by entertaining our wives and friends in a social get-together. Be on hand.

George and William Chaffey from the Province of Ontario, Canada, are credited with the vision and foresight necessary for developing this once semi-arid land into a balanced com- munity of residences, industry and agriculture, The Chaffey brothers and their companions from Canada chose to name the area Ontario.
