There was a definite. party at- mosphere, however, when Lions delivered the television set to Marjorie Varden, who sold the winning. ticket. A group of 'teen- agers were enjoying a "do" at the residence next dgor to the Varden home, and hurried in_to join the festivities. Miss Varden, a day camp counsellor, was "tickled pink." The special draw for a doll with $100 bill attached was won by Sydney Fearman, a past presi- dent of the club. The draws were made by Mayor J. R. Black as the carnival wound up amid a brilliant display of fireworks. Highlight of Saturday after- noon's "Accent on Youth" pro- gram was a mammoth kiddies parade arranged by a busy com- mittee headed by Lion Fred Tay- lor. Scores of gayly. decked bik- es, tricycles, wagons and doll carriages were lined up. in Geor- ges Square, where the youngsters fell in with several fine floats, the Oakville Citizens band and the Legion pipe band to parade to the Central school carnival grounds.

SEND MAGAZINES BY THOUSAND TO KOREA, COMMITTEE REPORTS No more books or magazines are being sought for the troops in Korea, for the present, at least, and the barrel for dona- tions has been removed from the post office, the Journal was in- formed this week. It was felt by. the group of ladies in charge of the project that enough reading matter had been received for the present. "I suppose we have sent about a thousand books and magazines," said one of the ladies. "We send them to the welfare officers of the different units. We have dis- covered that big magazines are a bit expensive to send. Small paper-backed books are better. The local chapters of the 1.O.D.E. are very kindly paying the post- age. We may start taking more reading matter in about a month's time." KING BILLY'S ANNIVERSARY Orangemen from all 'parts of Halton county, and from lodges in Peel, West York, and other counties are gathering in George- town today, the 261st anniversary of the famous Battle of the Boyne, for a monster celebration. There has been no Orange Lodge in Oakville for some years, but Bronte will be well represented by lodge members. Proceedings at Georgetown will start with a parade at 1.30, head- ed by the Georgetown Girls' Pipe Band. Visitors will be welcomed by Mayor Harold Cleave. Princi- pal speakers will be Rt. Wor. Bro. Controller I. H. Saunders, P.G.M., Gordon Graydon, M.P. for Peel, Rt. Wor. Sister Mrs. Lottie Ham- ilton, D.G.M. Ontario West, and Stanley Hall, M.P.P. for Halton. A number of trophies are being offered for the best appearing lodges AGAIN, LOSE LOCAL BALL SQUADS MARCH ONLY THREE, BUT PONDER FAN DISINTEREST With only a few short weeksd remaining before O.B.A. playoffs get under way Oakville, which placed three teams in the provin- cial finals last season, seems headed for another extensive trip along the playdown trail Up to Monday, the town's four O.B.A. entries had played 26 lea- gue games, had lost only three of them while charting 22 contests in the win column and tieing only one. Of this total, the intermed- fate Oaks had racked up eleven before dropping their first decis- ion at Milton last Saturday. The bantam and midgets squads have vet to meet defeat, while the juniors, currently on top in the 'West Toronto league, have lost two and tied one. Admittedly pleased at the show- ing of its representatives to date, officials of the Oakville Baseball assn. are a bit perplexed at the number of vacant seats they see in the stands at Wallace park when 'home games are played. Granting that fans do get more het up come playoff time, they still figure more. fans are inter- ested in the progress of their hometown squads than the click of the turnstiles has indicated. "Maybe we've been winning too many games," theorized secre- tary Bill Hughes this week. "Per- haps the fans are so used to lea- gue victories that they're satis- fied to stay away until playoff time. But it's increasingly hard to finance successful clubs through the O.B.A. playoffs un- less Spectator support is forth- coming. Realizing that top competition can provide one of the' answers, Don Davis and Bud Corbett are planning tough exhibition _sched- ules for their clubs during the next few weeks. "Aside from the interest we hope it will create, we want to have the boys in top shape when the chips are down," Corbett pointed out. "It's too bad our kid teams haven't been get- ting more league opposition, but it can't be blamed on the other clubs in the group. There's a lim- it to the resources at the disposal of entries from the smaller cen- Tes." Bud plans to bring In several Toronto and Hamilton squads for his teams to battle with, while the Oaks will continue to tussle with the Detter senior squads. Fans are advised to watch for game listings, like the one along- HOME GAMES WEDNESDAY, JULY 11 Oaks at Acton FRIDAY, JULY 13 8.15 p-m--Milwaukee Sports, Toronto, vs. Oaks, Wallace park.

A parade headed by Oakville Citizens' Band, and featuring gaily decorated bicycles, tricycl- es and baby-carriages will mark the opening of i3t, Andrew's gar- den party Saturday afternoon Taking part will be the pup- pils of St. Mary's school. The parade will form up at the Cen- tral public school grounds at 2 p.m. and march along Colborne Street and down Reynolds to the church grounds.

Scene of many an athletic and social event, the beautiful grounds of Appleby College were the cen- tre of a large religious gathering Sunday afternoon, when Angli- cans from all parishes of the county assembled for 'the annual picnic, rally and open alr service sponsored by the Deanery. of Hal- ton Laymen's Association. Attendance was estimated at about five hundred. Oakville Citizens' Band played during the plenic and for the service which followed. Headed by a. choir com- posed of youthful choristers, the girls wearing bright red caps, the clergy taking part In the ser- vice marched in procession from the college to a special platform erected on a level space below the hillside on which the crowd sat. A. BE. Dawson, Georgetown, president of the Association, spoke the introduction, which was followed by the confession and absolution by Rev. C. F. Heath- cote, Burlington, Rural Dean. Ven. Archdeacon W. G. O. Thompson, Georgetown, led in the Apostles' Creed, and state and special prayers were sald by Rev. F. ©. Jackson, rector of St. Jude's. The address was given by Rev. F. H. Cosgrave, D.D, formerly Provost of Trinity College, Tor- onto. "Canada is a land In which we enjoy a large measure of peace, prosperity and freedom," said Dr. Cosgrave, "but like Abrraham, we are seeking a better country. We must have something like the faith of our Father Abraham. We must be ready, like him, to feel the call of God, and to go forth HALTON ANGLICANS RALLY AT APPLEBY FOR OPEN AIR SERVICE under His guidance to make a better country, and trust in Him to lead us to the city of peace and righteousness, whose builder is God. "Our greatest need is that of a guide. Too often today we forget God. We hardly ever think of Him as having any concern for our affairs. Many people today have lost their way. They are like ships adrift upon the ocean. If they do not find stars to direct their course, they will soon be. num- bered among the wrecks of time. Don't try to do without God in your lives, your homes, your bus- iness. Don't forget Him In any of your concerns. That is what the Bible says to us. The Gospel says God has come near to us, ag Jes- us Christ, offering us full and free pardon for our sins, What we need Is that faith of Father Abraham that will enable us to respond in the proper manner to God's inyi- tation, and obey His commands." BLOOD DONORS Donors who are called for the July 16 blood clinic of the Oak- ville and District Red Cross So- clety are particularly urged to be on hand, it was emphasized today by Mrs. J. A. Roberts. "It is imperative to the successful operation of this one-day clinic that everyone called up keep their appointments," she stated. The clinic will be held in St. Jude's parish hall, and will be held next Monday--not Tuesday, as previously reported. Blood do- nations will augment a bank for both civillan and defence pur~ Doses. -
