William Dawes was a brother of the late Frank Dawes, who was well known in Port Perry. Except for five years during World War I, Mr. Dawes has resided in Por- tage La Prairi¢ where he conducted a dray and cartage business for many years before joining the staff of the Mayfair Hotel. He married in 1908 and his wife predeceased him. } During his more than fifty years of residence in the west Mr. Dawes engaged in many community activities and sports.

Also sur- viving are two sisters, Mrs. Lillie Fen- ton and Mrs. Birdie Tilton both of New Brunswick. District Churches It always leaves a good tasty in one's mouth to bring any worthwhile project to a fitting conclusion. Our Daily Vacation School was well at- tended during the second week also, and we had just the type of weather needed. On the Friday we had visit- ors from Greenbank. Rev. Mr, Chapin, Mrs. Foster and Mrs, Beare came to see just how we were conducting our school. will be a Vacation School in that area. And then the last period on Friday in the Junior 'Department was a ball game between the girls and boys. The girls had a real good pitcher, and the umpire was wonderful, and they won sixteen to twelve. Everyone was in real good spirits. Then on Sunday dawned bright and fair and hot. The children came in large numbers and filled the Church. After the worship period, the little ones retired to the school, under the leadership of Rita Rodman and her helpers; the Juniors were led by Wesley Johnson; the Primary by Gladys Braham; and the Adults, who retired outside, was led by Cecil Fralick. Nettie Aldred as- sisted the Juniors and Primary by telling them each a story. An offer- ing was taken to defray the cost of the Vacation Bible School and amount- ed to $85.00. We say "Thank you very much" to all the parents who were most generous. We have ap- pointed Marjorie Aldred as Treasurer of the Fund. There was a good congregation at the Church service, and many took advantage of the P.A. Systém to re- main outside under the trees, where benches were arranged. The minister stressed the importance of the chil- dren. They are our greatest assets, and we must never place stumbling blocks in the way of their develop- ment. And one of the greatest stum- bling blocks is liquor. We urged the people of the Island to keep the Island dry, so that as it develops it will at- tract Christian families. Let it never be said that people are coming here mainly for liquor. The Senior Choir sang "Great is the Lord" and the Juniors "Our Beautiful earth." Aleen Kane was our organist and pianist for the service. After the Service the Childrén and teachers re- ceived their Certificates. There was a very good display of the children's work at the Hall. Many thanks to Catharine Martyn and your faithful helpers for the many hours of work expended in arranging the display. And once again we say to all our teachers, drivers, parents "Many Thanks", and to the children "We love having you." Have a lovely holi- day, and be careful of the water. We wish the following members of our Birthday Club "Many Happy Re- turns: Erika: Benschop and Kathryn Vernon, (Prospect); Iunice Roach, (Manchester); and Linda DeHart, Pauline Johnston and Sharon Bray- ley (Scugog). Lions Bingo And Dance The Lions decided to try a Carnival night on a Wednesday evening hoping to pick up some customers among the many holidays on the lake -- but the We hope that next year there | results proved unsuccessful--almost all the small crowd were local folk.

Need Permit to Travel in Forest Travel permits will be required from now until October 31 for every- one travelling in the forests, accord- ing to Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The permits which are designed for the protection of outdoor people and forests alike, have sometimes been the source of confusion in the minds of holidayers. The following hints should clarify matters. You require a permit if you are' taking an overnight camping or canoe trip, or landing on shore to travel in the bush or make a lunch fire. Per- mits may cover a two-week period, or longer, in special cases. There is no charge for permits. You do not need a pérmit to roads when no side trips will be made into forested areas enroute, or when tra- velling: to towns and villages from your summer cottage or shopping. It is not necessary to have a permit for visiting summer camps on week- ends if you do not intend to leave the lake on which the camp is situated. If you are leaving for a one-day fishing trip or travel on the lake, a permit is not required provided no lunch fires are made. Permits are intended to help reduce forest fires and are not meant to in- terfere with the pleasure of travelling or camping in the woods. They may he obtained at district offices of the Dept. of Lands and Forests. RE ve CT) RA dance on Monday, August bth, Civic | Holiday.
