Two took place ad- jacent to Lindsay.and three in the town. Provincial and Lindsay police | have been working. and investigating. No arrests have been made. The largest loss is reported-to have taken place at .the home of Mr..and Mrs. Nelson Thurston, 58 Colborne street, west, where it is claimed jewel- ry to the value of several "hundred dollars was lifted. The loss contained a number of articles which had a high sentimental value. At the home of Mr. Ross Bain, Sun- set Court, intruders ransacked the place thoroughly and considerable van- dalism took place. Drapes and cur- tains were pulled from the windows, dresser drawers were-emptied and the thieves carried away negligees and un- der garments, as well as nylons and many other articles. A third home entered was that of Mrs. A. L. Tremeer, Regent street, where the loss was not heavy. Lock- ers and a small box at the Golf Club were pilfered and the sum of $40 is reported to be missing. At the Beaver Lumber Company on the Oakwood Road, thieves, it is stated rifled the till and got away with two day"s-receipts. Fingerprint experts have been work- ing on the case but without results as finger marks were too numerous and too messed up. SUGGEST COUNTY BUILD MUSEUM Reeve Morrison said that the matter lof the establishment of a county ! museum had been mentioned on many occasions ito him: and he wondered if the county were taking any steps to start one. : He said that many items suitable for a historical museum had been of- "fered on occasion!

Pools of darkness lie behind the flaring headlights of approaching cars, Effective visibility for both drivers is practically nil at the in- stant when two cars pass on a dark country road. The Ontario safety League asks all pedestrians, and all drivers to be specially alert for these moments of high danger. The non- driving pedestrian in particular is liable to forget that a driver can see little beyond the headlights of a pass- ing car. Pedestrians in rural areas should walk facing traffic; wear light clothing or carry a flashlight at night; and be prepared to get right off the road whenever cars are due to pass in the vicinity. <« RECREATION THE REMEDY (The following editorial appearing in the Current edition of "Ora" the publication of the Ontario Recreation Association, originally appeared in the North Bay Nugget): There are some people who think too much money is being spent these days on recreation. They claim the money could well be spent on what they call "more essential things." Your family doctor does not subscribe to that opinion. In fact, he thinks more money should be spent on recreation, for the good of the individual and for the good of the community, The Canadian Medical Association; in adopting a report presented by its health committee, went on record re- cently as stating that many communi- ties--particularly those in thickly pop- ulated areas--are "seriously lacking in recreation facilities." The associa- tion strongly urged voluntary and of- ficial community groups to set up co- ordinated planning for recreation fa- cilities and programmes because of their importance to health. The CMA report reminded the pub- lic that "it has been generally regard- ed for centuries that recreation has a direct bearing on psychological devel- opment of the individual. Neverthe- less, circumstances of modern living have tended to discourage the use of facilities for recreation while at the same time they have increased the physical, psychic and social needs for recreation." JUNIOR PLOWING MATCH SUCCESSFUL BVENT * The Annual Junior Plowing Mateh sponsored by the South Ontario Plow- men's Association and the Ontario 'Department of Agriculture "was held on Saturday, September 20th on the farm of Armour MeMillan, R.R. No. 2, Seagrave. ' There was a splendid turnout with "| 16 boys and girls taking' part. Mr. Robert Timbers, Mount Albert wis the official coach and judge for the day. The committee in charge was Mr. Armour McMillan, Chairman; Robert Baird, Hugh Baird, William McMillan, William Hill, Oscar Downey and H. L. Fair. The results of the Plowing Match are as follows: : CLASS 1-- 1st--Stephen Lancaster, Beaverton. CLASS 2-- 1st--John Thomson, Greenbank 2nd--Larry Lamb, Columbus 3rd--Fred Beare, R. 3 Uxbridge 4th--Bob Hunter, R. 2, Seagrave 5th--Joyce Fenn, Sunderland 6th--David Spencer, Greenbank Tth--Ronald Gibson, R. 2, Seagrave CLASS 3-- 1st--Howard Malcolm, R. 1, Locust Hill 2nd--George Malcolm, R. 1, Locust Hill 3rd--Wm.

Clipped Comments Medical men deplore the fact recrea- tional facilities have been regarded as relatively unimportant because of the pre-occupation with the growing need for other community services. This has resulted in a serious shortage of facilities. Nothing short of being "an arm of preventive medicine" is the way the CMA describes recreation. "More and more", the report said, "recreation must be thought as an arm of preven- tive medicine, worthy of support of the medical profession and worthy of the proper planning of facilitles and programme.' "That's what the doctor says. We hope many municipalities will be wise enough to take his advice." --Watchman-Warden 4 In our last issue we mentioned the possibility of Guides and Brownies. launching out into We have 27 girls ranging in age from cight to eleven, and twelve girls from eleven to thirteen on the island. The older girls seemed to be very interested, and they can be a wonderful help in Movement. They will be initiated as Guides; but will help our Leaders in carrying out the Brownie programme. And then, when we have sufficient Leaders for both Brownies, theys.will to work at the shop. The store keep- er should have a rest and close his store. The Summer Guests should make his or her purchases the day be- fore. It would be quite casy to fill up our gas tanks on the Saturday. The Sabbath was made for our good, and no one will admit that the making of money is the greatest good. By the way, the church was nearly filled on Sunday. But there are still many children who never come. I think they would, if Mother and Dad would bring them. We all can earn enough money in six days to support them. They District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect let us keep in mind Sunday, Oct. 19th when Scugog Church will hold its SECOND ANNIVERSARY. The morning Service. will be in "Grace" Church, and the c¢vening in "Head Memorial" Church. At the morning service, we will have thelyric Male Choir from Toronto. Fan to be at both services when Rev. M. C. Fisher, B.A., of Newcastle, wil preach. Next week, Wednesday, at 8.30 p.m. our young people will meet on the Island. We shall have our worship We have need of a local committee of five, whose duties -will be to handle the finances; in conjunction with the mothers. The leaders of the Brownie Fack are Marion Carter, Joan Aldred, and Florence Fralick. Letters have gone out to the Mothers asking for their support, and asking them to sign applications for their girls to enter. Just as soon as we have these, our Leaders and some of the girls have been invited to attend a gathering of the Port Perry Pack. The older girls who become Guides ,do not need to gever connections with our P.M.S. Hic. We believe that there is room for both. . The Church attendance on the Is-- land is keeping up remarkably well. We had many visitors with us last Sunday; but there were several faces whom we haven't seen during the busy rush of the summer. And we welcome most cordially a number of our Young People. It is remarkable the influence we have on each other. Through the influence of one, many can be brought to the Church. Why do we have to absent ourselves from Church, simply One 'would: think -that both do not go together, The Sabbath day comes as a change in the daily routine. None of us should continue doing the same things as we did during the past six days. . The farmer doesn't need to plow his fields on the Sabbath. The factory worker shouldn't be expected need the hread which cometh down from heaven, too. Without it, they die of spiritual starvation. On Sun- day we will gather around the Table of our Lord. We shall eat the bread and drink the wine, not because there is any magic in them. They still re- main bread and wine; but we receive them by faith through His hands, and hear Him say: "Kat this in remem- brance of Me. Drink this in remem- brance of Me." Let us fill our three Churches on Sunday, and take the Sacrament along with six hundred mil- lion Christians. The Sacrament of Infant "Baptism was celebrated last Sunday at Scugog Church, when Kevin Thomas, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. "Terry" Hodgins; and Janet Mary, in- fant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Reader were presented for baptism. There are still many children who have | never received baptism: Why not go Next Sunday Evening we commence Sunday Evening Services at Scugog "Head". Just imagine that our last service there was on May 18th. when Rev. E. 8. Linstead was the Preacher, and your Minister was away in Jam- aica! We invite all our people to come to "Grace" in the Morning, and par- take of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper; and come to Head Memorial in the evening at 8.00 p.m. when the Minister will preach, and omr senior choir will lead us in song. and-program--in-the Church, and have wicners and buns outside around the fire. Come and let us have a good start. An offering of 25¢c. each will be taken to defray costs involved. Cupid has been aiming his arrow at quite a number of our young people. Quite recently, Sandra James was married to a young Doctor from Spain. Then Glen Demara took to himself a lovely bride from Oshawa. And on Saturday Rodney Chandler was mar- ried in Port Ferry, and Gale Mark and James McQuinn of Tyrone, were mar- ried in "Grace Church". Our church was beautifully decorated, and Mrs. Braham played the wedding march. We wish all of these young people God's richest blessing; and we hope that their love will be strong and deep enough to surmount all obstacles. We send our love and sympathy to the Harvey Dobsons, in the death this morning (Monday) of Mrs. Dobson's mother. Mrs. Mole, would have heen 92 years old on October 13th, May our heavenly Father comfort all who morn, Happy birthdays to Freda Burnham, Grate Pogue, Penny Prentice, Marilyn Fralick, John Michie, William Loates, Cole Humphrey,.of the Island, and to Bastian Benschop and Douglas Web- ster of Prospect.
