But remember, the paren One of the outstanding social events of the year, of interest to city and surrounding districts alike, is the an- nual Rotary-Farmers' Picnic which is being held in Queen's Park today. Hundreds of farmers and their famil- ies have dropped their forks and turn- ed the work team loose in the pasture for the day in order to pack the lunch 'baskets and hie themselves to Strat- | tora' s popular playground in the East lend of the city. The Rotary-Farmers' picnic is a isplendid thing. It provides a lot of fun Annual Rotary:Farmer Picnic Today in the way of sports and friendly competition; it comes as a break in the strenuous weeks which the farmer has just put in at his hay, and gives him renewed pep with which to tackle his grain. But best of all, the annual outing brings together city dweller and rural dweller on an equal footing. It gives the farmer the opportunity of finding out that the white-collar city fellow is not such a bad scout after all, and the city fellow gets a chance to become better acquainted with his tanned cousin from the country. This Week A $7.50 Toilet Set Is High Honor Conferred Donated by Everett's Drug Store Upon Frank A. Copus The highest honor within the gift of Masonry in Ontario was conferred upon a Stratford man this week, when F. A. Copus was named Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario. tion of Mr. Copus took place during the session of the Grand Lodge at St. Catharines. Due to the absence of the Grand Master, W. S. Herrington, K.C., of Napanee, in England, Mr. Co- | pus, who held the office of Deputy 'Grand Master for two years, presided at the St. Catharines convention. While the office of Grand Master is an honor which can fall to few within the ranks of Masonry, it is also a position which makes great demands upon the man who holds it. It is a position which demands a man of high ideals and outstanding ability. It re- quires too a man who possesses @ strong physique, for the constant | travelling and the fatigue of address- 'ing meetings and dealing with the in- numerable matters which come to the attention of the Grand Master drain heavily upon the stamina of the in- cumbent of the office. In their choice of a Grand Master, Stratford citizens generally will join Stratford Masons in congratulating the : Masons of Ontario. Mr. Copus has been a resident of Stratford, practical- ly since boyhood, and he has won the same respect and admiration of citi- zens here as has marked his career in the Masonic Order. Public Utilities Staff Hold Annual Picnic As usual, the employees of the Stratford Public Utilities Commission, with their families and a number of friends, had a most enjoyable outing when they journeyed to Bayfield for the annual staff picnic on Wednesday. About eighty persons went to the: lake, leaving before nine o'clock in the morning. An interesting program of sports and contests had been arranged, and lall those present took part. Favored i by ideal weather, the picnickers took full advantage of the eXcellent bathing facilities at the lake. Conveners of committees in charge of the picnic were: G. Malone, sports committee; J. A. Fraser, refreshment committee; E. J. Langan, prize com- mittee; H. Farmer, transportation committee.
