There. was an enthusiastic gather- mg 0! the bowlers at the Hahn House last Friday night and, with a good crowd in attendance, and great. interest taken, there is every indication that. the local club in 1er will enjuy the best season in IH history. During tho season or 1926 the club had orrectml a line new club house on their property adjoining the rink and this, it was learned, had hot-n paid for with the exception of some 5534» still owing and it was an- ticipatml that. this would be paid all lwl'm'v noxt'fall. Bowl Any Time The matter of the time to be al- tnttml t0 the ladies was discussed at sumo», length. and finally disposed nf by a mntion which permits them to have the use Of the green any time «luring the day or the evening. 0! the ten greens, seven of these must be available at any time, and the lady members are to he permitted to bowl either in the afternoons or in the evenings. 'I‘he fee for this year' has been ~wt at the usual amount, $5.00 for the men. and as the ladies’ club is a separate one altogether, it is ex- pected that they will call a meet- ing in the near future, outline their, program and decide on the amountt they will charge their members. low Ofliccrs Elected When the time came for the elec- tion of the new ott‘icers considerable regret was expressed that Mr. R. Macfarlane. now in St. Petersburg, Florida, had, owing to continued ill health, intimated that he would not, entertain the idea of continu- ing in the office of secretary-treas- urer. a position he has filled with much ability for some years. The members assembled would have liked to have seen him retain his old position but knew that there was no use in asking him to reconsider his decision to resign.

It is the intention to try and keep the bird in this vicinity, when it is believed possible to attract other of its species to the lake on their semi-annual migram tions. As there is plenty of wild rice and celery on Wilder’s Lake, the goose should have an easy time picking out a living and, like some on Jack Miner’s preserve. may decide to become a permanent resi- dent with a good home rather than roam at will over the North Amer- By Irisurance. JI'IN‘EE H. A. ROBSON DURHAM, ONTARIO,‘ CANADA, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1927 GOOSE HOLDS RECORD FOR LONGEVITY Fowl on Farm of Mr. Duncan Ic- Quarrie is a Veteran, Judged from Usual Age Attained. We are not sure Just how old a goose should be to be called “old”, hut Mrs. Duncan McQuarrie, in Bentinck,. has one that can, we think. safely claim to be the oldest one in captivity in these parts, if not in all Ontario. This may not be any credit to the goose in ques- tion, as the most of these kind of farm necessities do not get much chance of showing their longevity before having their lives cut short to grace the thanksgiving or Christ- mas table. Mrs. McQuarrie's goose, however. has seen twenty eight summers, and unlike some other femininity we know of, instead of setting back the calendar and trying to_ ppgear as "sweet sixteen,” this Old Ben- tinok girl seems rather proud of her age. She's a worker, too, and rather than lie around and complain of the rheumatism and other kin- dred ailments that untlt the human race for an active life she is this spring, as in many former years, preparing her nest with the inten- tion of bringing out another fine flock of goosehood at the proper time. This goose and her mother, which was killed Some years ago at a grand old age when the barn door slammed against her, have been steady workers on the MoQuarrie farm for over fifty years, and we doubt very much if there is any other record of the like in Ontario. If there is, trot ’em out. We would like to hear about ’cm! QUEEN ST.

Some two weeks ago The Chronicle reported Mr. Brigham as being rather Ser- iously ill, but this report, like that. one telling of another famous man some years ago, was evidently “greatly exaggerated“ if we are to believe a message sent in to the editor of this paper. ‘ hast week-end Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Brigham of this place went out to visit for a day or two, and when returning to Durham, Mr. Brigham, Sit, told his son to “tell that Frank Irwin that I am getting along tine and feeling well.” Mr. Brigham will he 89 years or age next Tuesday.
