There was a big exodus of high school pupils, teachers and some friends, to Markdale last Friday afternoon for the annual feld day sports. _ There were 70 pupils and over 80 in all present from Durham and they were delighted to have their representatives win the sports by a majority of 30 points. The football match was undecided, a 0â€"O tie. Durâ€" ham boys won nearly all the junior points and were 5 up, while the girls with Mary Turnbull in the limelight, captured near" ly everything. _ Jim McLachlan was starter and referee. _ Dr. Pickering and R.

Of course some of : the defections are very slight ones. and : can be easily remedied. They are tested ;as to sight, hearing, teeth, skin diseases | and throat troubles. ‘There were found to "be. after the research in the Public school | 26 children who were considered "normal" | or perfectly sound. These ladies are only j lpaving the way for a more rigid system , which the Education Dept. intends to | develop in the line of securing a school |nurse. It is thought that with the coâ€"| | eperation of Durham and Hanover ; | School Boards and rural School Boards‘ between these two towns, a system could | be evolved where they could engage a‘ school nurse permanently for these said schools.

G. McKECHNIE, Mayor Over twenty soldier boys have returnâ€" ed since the last banquet and these were honored on Friday last by a sumptuous supper in the Public Library basement under the auspices of the I. 0. D E. A few o{ the boys could not be present, but those who were enjoyed their welcome evenas did those who extended it. At the close of the supper Mr C. Ramage exâ€" | tended the formal welcome to the returned boys, Capt. M <‘Richardson replying. J Rev. E. J. McEwen moved the toast to | the hosts of the evening, which was heartâ€" ‘lly responded to. To Rev Mr Hardy was ?assigned the task of presenting a toast to | the soldier brides of whom there were at | least five present, these being Mesdames Banks, Bolger, Lauder, Oyns, Richardson. | Mr Hardy, his own bride beside him, did | the thing gracefully and a hearty welcome : was accorded them. Adjournment was made to the Town Hall where it was a pleasure to find Pres. Calder, President of the Patriotic Society, presiding, after his severe ilinese. The massed choirs of the town sang "O God our help in ages past," Rev. Mr. Cole led in prayer, the choir sang "O Canada‘" and Rev. Mr. McEwen was called to the front. He made fitting reference to the living in his welcome, rehearsed the valor of the Canadians and spoke of the pride felt by all towards the men, who with hearts of _ On Monday evening the church was scarcely so well filled but all who were there, had the good fortune to have a chalk talk from Rev MrSmith. Though £{teen years since Mr Smith left Durham. the church people had not forgotten his art, and accordingly made use of it. The talk was chiefly contined to juvenile subâ€" jects but throughout it all there was a thread of moral interwoven, closing his talk and pictures with a vivid picture of ‘"Red rum" spellsâ€"murder, speit backâ€" wards. The choir rendered a spirited anâ€" them, and a violin orchestra composed of Messrs Geo. Yirrs and Hugh McCrae and Misses Myrtle Yirrs, Flossie Lawrence and Stella McCsae rendered a couple of numbers to the pleasure of all. Mr Yirrs also contributed a violin solo. A vote ef thanks for his talk was moved to Mr. Smith by Dr.. Wolfe and Mr. Thos. Reid: and was heartily carried . l The Closing Soldier Banquet The sum of $419 was subscribed during the day. _A blackboard ruled into 10‘s, 5‘s, 2‘s and 1‘s, was gradually filled up and even overflowed, and this, with the collections, will make a healthy contribuâ€" tion to church and mission funds. | _ Rev. Smith, since 15 years ago, is a little _ grayer, but still vigorous in presenting Bible truths. He made some pleasant reâ€" |miniscent remarks recalling his period, and of course missing a number of old faces. He has a fine sense of humor and can tell a story well. His text was from Ezekiel 33: 32 "Thou art unto them as a very lovely song," and he had found light on this old testament oracle in the New testament. proving the couplet : ‘ In old testament is new contained ‘ In new testament is old explained. ’ The world, he said, had lost its keyâ€"| note, there was a lack of harmony because‘ it had not recognized that Christ was a lovely song, as expressed in the hymn| "Jesus the soul of music is." Well tha;I people should listen, but not all day long, Let them sing. There was a time for work and a time for worship. David, when in trouble ‘"‘cried" unto the Lord, he could not sing, but when replaced in God s favor, he says ; "He put a new song in my mouth.‘" "What a fine world it would be if everybody was in tune." | ‘‘Keep your body in tune by observing the laws ot health but remember Jesus Christ is the keynote to bring harmony ‘ into all relations : business, social. relig~ | ious, national. He will be unto themas|, a very lovely song." ; ~ _ Anniversary Services The church was adorned with flowers and festoons of grain suggested thankfulâ€" ness for abundance. The choir had specâ€" iil music and were brilliant® included in their number being H. G. Mistele of Waterloo, who took several solo parts and completed the old quartette to the delight of all. The choir‘s rendering of *"Angels of Jesus, Angels of Light" was ‘ most excellent. The Methodist Church proved quite inadequate on Sunday evening to accomâ€" modate the many who wished to have a part in their Anniversary doings. There was a fair congregation in the morning, but the downpour of rain at the assembâ€" ling hour prevented congestion. A great attraction was the presence of Rev Wray R. Smith, a former muchâ€"loved pastor who preached morning and evening. Durham Methodist Church DURHAM, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1919 With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader I regret to have to address you again to give prompt and emphatic denial to stories being circulated plainly with a view to injure my candidacy _ These stories impeach my loyaity and that of my sons. One that has reached me more than once is that I stated that if my boys were taken, I would let my crop rot in the field rather than let the Allies have it This is gross calumny and utterly false. My boys were not old enough to go to war ; I offered to go myself but was not accepted. _ If my loyalty was not quesâ€" tioned during the war nor a year after i‘, why should it be now ?
