On Sunday, October 8th, Anniver- sary Services will be held at the Elia Appointment at 11 a.m., and 7 pan. Rev. A. I. Snyder of Brantford will preach at both services. Special music will be provided by the Elia and Downsvieiv Choirs. Very successful Harvest Home ser- vices were held on Sunday, September 24 at Downsview Methodist Church at 11 a.m., and 7 p.m., conducted by the Rev. W. Aldridge of Silverthorn. Large crowds assembled at both Set'- vices and were pleased and edified by the two able sermons given by the preacher of the day. The Downsview choir assisted by the Elia choir ren- dered the music for the occasion, also a duet, "O Morning Land," was given by the Misses Muriel and Vera Irwin. The Church was tastefully decorated with trophies of field and garden, the Altar especially displaying a riot in flower and fruit. The Thanksgiving Offering amountted to $43. On Sunday, October lst, Rally Day services will be held at Elia at 11 a.m., and at Downsview at 7 pan. A cor- dial invitation is extended to all. Sprains Ankle While cycling west on Bloor Street, near Dundas St., on Friday last,, Ar- thur McFarlane, aged 15, of 31 Salis- bury Ave., was struck by truck C 26- 028, driven by Andrew Crowe, of 16 Milton Ave., Mimico. The boy was thrown to one side and as a result, his ankle was sprained. He was at once taken to the office of Dr. Matheson, who attended his injury" and lafer was removed in the truck to his home. On Thursday morning last a,t eight o'cloek a minor accident occurred, when auto No. 22-893, driven by Thos. R. Morris, of 313 Kennedy Ave., was struck by auto No. 6-163, driven by Louis P. Acre, of 102 Markham St., at the corner of Runnymede Road and Colbeck Ave. The force of the impact slightly damaged Mr. Morris' car and fortunately no one was hurt. Backs and Bumps On Sunday evening last, at 6.15 o'clock motor car No. 1()-6l2, driven by Cliff Thompson, of 111 Woodlawn Ave., was backed into by motor car No. 83-035, sustaining broken lense and bent springs. It appears that the former was driving north on Keele at Dundas, when he stopped behind the second car, which was waiting for a street car to clear, when the second car backed up and into the front of his car, causing the damage mention- ed. On Sunday evening at 10.15 o'clock auto No. 9-476, owned and driven by Justin H. Duer, of 12 Roxton Road, travelling south on Keele St., turned out to pass an auto which was stand- ing at the curb. In doing so he failed to see auto No. 214-395, owned and driven by Earl Lewis, of 28 York Ave., Mount Dennis. As a result he crashed into it, although the application of the brakes reduced the speed to such an extent as to do very little damage. Nope of the occupants of either car suffered injury. , on.into another wagon belonging to the Hancock Lumber Co. The driver of the latter wagon suffered injuries to his right leg, which were attended to, and he was able to proceed to his home. mm jlllllllEflln , FEATURE WEEK Bumps Wagon While driving along Bloor Street on Tuesday afternoon at 2.40 o'clock, Dr. Frank Zevick, of St. Michael's Hospi- tal, struck a delivery wagon belonging to the Canada Bread Co.

Weston for a number of years has been the great centre for the annual Fall Fair. There have been some very pleasant memories associat- ed with the fair in the days gone by. During the past few there have been efforts put forth to make the Fair bigger and better than ever. It would appear from general observation that the Fair this year will be a big one. . Up to the present time the entry list has been much greater than in pre- vious years. Then the fact that the fair is two weeks .later also adds considerably to the entry list. In past years it has been claimed that our Fair was a little too soon after the Toronto show and held while the Low. don show was in full swing. This is not so this year. School day will see representatives from the Mount Dennis schools this year. It has been some time since this school has put in an appearance. They are out to win some of the events. They will carry home some of the prizes sure for they have some keen leaders who are work- l ing for success. Everyone should do l their unmost to assist the success'of the Fair this week. There should be two big days. All those having ex- hibits should see that they are placed early. If you want good parking space for your car you will have to get there in time. Last Saturday at Brampton there was more cars than could be handled. Make the old town know that there is a Weston fair. Turn out and see that all yaur friends know about the fair. _ Entry List is “Large and Big Day's Outing is Being Looked Forward To WEETDN HUB UN _ MII? gil 3mm DOWNSVlEW WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY WESTOR ONT. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27TH, 1922 Now that it is all over, everybody will admit that it was a good thing for lacrosse that Weston won the Senior championship. It is the first time that the title has gone outside of Toronto since 1914, when Bramp- ton held it. The Young Torontos brought the Senior championship back to the city, and it has remained here ever since'. Orangeville came into senior company a year ago to take it away, but failed. The success of Weston will stimulate interest in the national game in the smaller towns. ., The Game Criticized It is not possible for the Side Liner to express an opinion of the game without being accused of prejudice. That being the case, we are glad to be able to publish the following let- ter from a fan who signs himself "Sidelight." He is the same old- timer who wrote us a letter some months ago about the early days of the game in Harriston and Listowel. To Sidelines ' Dear Sir,-1n spite of what some critics have said about Saturday's final feature's defects as a lacrosse contest, the fact stands out that it was a grand game. To Sidelight, who has seen them all from Johnny Currie's (Shamrocks) and Adams' (Cornwall) time down through the It will be remembered that Weston entered senior company in A; Spring of 1921 as a dark horse, an they sur- prised everybody by the steadiness of their game. They were never brilliant, but they were always hard to beat. They played right through their sche- dule and came out with enough vie- tories to give them a chance at the finals. The worst they could do was tie things up with Beaches/and then as a result of a rule that should never have existed, a team that was legiti- mately out of the running got, back into the race again via the committee room. They caught Weston weakening after a hard season, and beat them out of their chance of the championship on a snap decision. The Weston players had reason to feel bitter. They felt; that the championship should be won on a whole season's play, but they lost out on a single game. Of course the senior championship for31921 be- came rather a joke after that) and, the one good purpose served by, the en- tire course of events was that the far- cial rule was removed from the O. A. L. A. constitution. Committee room championships cannot be won that way any more. So Wéston lost their honors in a good cause/and now just a year later they are senior cham- pions after all. 1 Evenly Matched Teams. Two more evenly matched teams have not played in final games in these parts for many a year, and i the one crumb of comfort that the Saints are finding is the thought that if it was all done over again the single goal might be on their side of the ledger. In both of the final games the defences showed up to much better advantge than the homes. The Weston home hasl seldom rolled up big scores this season,i even against weak defences. They! have secured just enough goals, and! the defence has done the rest. That‘ is what they they did against St. Sim- on's, and the one time in the roundI when the Saints had a chance to land; the honors was when Cudmore tied the score in the third period at Scarborol Beach, If the losers had been able tol keep things that way for about ten minutes they would have forced Wes- ton to give up a purely defensive game and resort to offensive tactics. Un-. der those circumstances it is justi possible that both teams might haveI scored a couple or more. There might have been a whirlwind finish, as so fre-. quently happens when both sides are working for goals in the final momentsi of a game. "s, I Ellerby Farr selected the psycholog- ical moment to, make his sensational rush that won the honors for Weston. It must be remembered that for eighty minutes in Weston and for about forty minutes at Scarboro St. Simon's had been straining every nerve in an uphill fight. At last they were even, and for a moment came that reaction which has been so often a team's undoing. Have you seen a team with two men short hold their opponents scoreless and then Just as soon as they were even again let in a couple of easy goals? That sort of thing is the result of nervous tension, which unconsciously relaxes, Whether Farr figured on that, one cannot say. The fact remains that he took the right moment to charge down the field, and when the dust cleared away St. Simon's had lost what it took them an hour's hard work to se- cure. They were no longer fighting on an even footing against a team that was face to face with them, instead of being on top of them. St, Simon's had no excuses to offer. They were beaten by a ,worthy foe, and Weston has never played against a Toronto team when the feeling was as good, The losers could at least salve the feelings with the thought that their worst mistakes were the re- sult of over-anxiety. Nobody was afraid to take a chance, and if they fought stubbornly against the stone wall when other.tactics might have been more efficient, it was always in the hope that they would find the hole that never occurred. In" that thrilling moment the game was lost and won. ' , Their is such a thing as;poetic jus- tice, even in lacrosse. Weston won the senior O.A.L.A'. championship this year for the first time in the hiitory of la- Crosse, and they deserved the honors. They have played the most consistent lacrosse of any team now in the game for the past two years, and they have worked hard to get to thejtop of the heap. As long as lacrosse is talked in and about Weston they wili remember the season of 1921 as the y?” in which they were robbed of the eh mpionship. Perhaps they will not feel ithe greiv- ance quite so strongly now that they have annexed the coveted title. Any- way, fate has made amendsii by an act that bears more than a slight resembl- ance to poetic juctice. ‘ j - I From TORONTO SUNDAY ‘WORLD Lacrosse in Review But, after all, it was a great exhi- bition of lacrosse, and both Weston and St. Simons are to be congratu- lated on playing a splendid gentle- manly game. There is still too much pounding of the man who is carrying the ball. No check should be legitimate that aims at hurting the opposing players. Good hard body-checking, striking an exposed stick-end or covering the man right and left in an attempt to strike his stick, are all fair and legitimate. Anything else irritates and is Provo- cative of bad temper. St. Simons and Weston, too, show- ed bad judgment occasionally in hand- ling the ball. They held when they should have passed, and passed when they should have shot. One can never score unless he shoots at the goal, and a goal often comes from the most unlikely shot. On the home side the Kingdom boys were the pick of the field, the black haired one being the most effec- tive in difficult situations. All'the other home players were good, but not great. The tactics of St. Simons' home field were weak. They took too long to get in on the goal. They waited to get working all together from far out, and this very delay gave the Weston boys the required time to get set to cover their checks. It is the whirlwind attack that de- moralizes a good defence, A slow, plodding attack is not effective except against a weak defence. Sunday and Monday, Sept. 24 and 25 celebrated by the friends of St. Phillip's as days of special Thanks- giving. Annual Harvest Home ser- vices were held in the Church on Sun- day morning, the speaker, Rev. Robt. Sims, giving a most impressive sermon on the subject of National and Indi- vidual Thanksgiving. He went on to point out that we were responsible tor all our actions to the Creator. He was the Giver of all good. The past year had been fraught with many mer- cies. The 0[land had yielded most bountifully f fruit and grain, all for the good of man, and yet so many took these blessings in a matter of fact manner, careless and indifferent. Posibly at no other season of the year were the people called upon in such a forcible manner to pay their vows unto the Lord as at the end of the Harvest, when all was surely garner- ed in and the year's food supplies were assured. Famine and Want was ram- pant in many lands but Canada was spared, she had enough and to spare, and of her abundance, she was called upon to offer Praise, Honor and Thanksgiving to her Creator. The Church presented a most pleasing ap- pearance with its trimming of field, wood and garden, all giving testimony of the fruits of the past seasons la- bors. Special Harvest Music was ren- dered by the Choir also added to the impfessiveness of the service. If the above names carry theNiig- nificance of greatness in lacrosse and they do-"-"let me add to the' list those of Farr of Weston and Dopp of St. Simons, both grand defence men, who overtopped two strong defences. Both Farr and Dopp, veterans they are now called, use their heads, their hands and their bodies to the best advantage. And in one respect only, did Farr out- shine Dopp, viz., in always playing the ball. The Trophies of Woodland and Field Pay Silent Tribute to the Creator of All Good On Monday night a festive note was struck when the congregation assem- bled in the Weston Town Hall to par- take of a bountiful Supper, prepared by the Ladies. This was followed by a musical programme and addresses. The Rector occupied the chair and gave the Harvest greeting to all. Among those present were the War- dens and their wives from the two Mission Churches, Thistletown and W estmount. illfWif HUME AT (if, Mljlys corridors of time,) that include such players as Hoobin, Finlayson, Bren- nan, Hendry, Griffiths and Querrie, Saturday's game was a very able demonstration of our national sport. tions ' Through these columns the fact that our boys are left to themselves far too much has been commented upon. It has been our policy to arouse a definite leadership for the boys in this town. Efforts have beent put forth by various persons but little success have been obtained. What is needed is a strong leadership. During the past week there has been evidence that lthis leadership is needed very badly in the boy life of this town. Boys are led away without thinking simply because they have not had the strong leadership to show them the right way. Now there should be an effort put forth by the various church organiza- tions to secure a co-operative move- ment in boys, work in this town. It is done in the city and could be worked out advantageously in our town. What is needed is men who are willing to give the boys the necessary leadership and fellowship. It may take time but it is the great work of a life. Think what it may mean to a mother or father if their boy has an associate who is strong and can impart the true ideals to him. It would be the means of saving many a heart from suffer- ing.. Let there be some effort put forth so that the boys of this town may have a chance to develop socially, physically and mentally then in their respective Sunday School organizer-' Some Definite Effort Should Be Made to Help the Boy Fill in His Time Snllgl [NlEilll?
