TWO NEW STORES It was unfortunate that the pro- gramme could not he finished, and from the tirst it. was put, on under difficulties. All afternoon the weather had been threatening. but cleared ott' slightly about the sap- per hour. For a time it looked as though the rain had passed over but about 9.30 it broke loose in earnest. Commencing with a series of light showers, the grand climax was reached when a veritable cloudburst descended. drenching any and all who were unfortunate enough to be outside. There was a scurry for the school building and the programme was concluded in- side. but was not very satisfactory. Nearly everyone was soaked to the hide. and under these conditions it is little wonder that the order was not Up to standard.

At the regular meeting of Grey Lodge No. 169, I.0.0.F. on Monday night it was unanimously decided that the annual basket picnic this year would be held on Civic Holi- day. the 6th of August. This de- cision was reached after a full con- sideration of the event from all angles. It was felt that were the picnic to be held on some local ground many who would be out of town for the holiday would not at- tend, but by holding it on the beach on Owen Sound bay these would in all likelihood be on hand as the average holiday seeker does not care very much where he goes so long as he can get away from town and business for a few hours and visit pastures new.
