Let this Winter's Debating Srr- l, ies be tho most succvssl'ul of all. I Miss Agnes McPhail. M.P., who suggested the idea and started the work last year, was present. Her guidance on this occasion was earn- estly sought and recommendations follwed by the young people. The objects of the League are as follows: (1) To encourage the rural people of the Riding to be proficient in public speaking: (2) To encour~ age the serious study of problems of local or national interests, especially those pertaining to agriculture: (3) To provide through the medium ot public debates an interesting and pro- f1table form of entertainment for the ' people of the community : (4) To tos. [ ter among the young people of the lRiding a spirit of friendly coopera- tion and to after d opportunities for 'bringing them together. l Should sufficient teams enter it is proposed to hold the debates among I the teams within the townships. The winners in each township shall meet the winners from the other town- ships until the winners ol' the constit- uency are decided. I The prizes which are generously ldonatmi by Miss M Phail 'are medals 1to each township team and a cup to i the winning team which shall be held I in trust till the final debate next seas- South East Grey Debat- ing League fttyorgaaizetl Amusement Co. gives Bowiers a Si) 'Year Lease The annual meeting of the Durham Amuseme-nt Co. held in the Rink on Thursday night last, was the best at- tended yet. held, but the financial re- port was not altogether re-assuring. There is still a mortgage of $1800 or. the skating rink, and while some: bank indebtedness has been cleared on during the year, accounts running. some three and four years have yet to lw met. The Amusement Co. is just holding its own tlnaneially and in- creased receipts are necessary to make it a paying concern. Last seas- on about $586 was realized from gkntinz‘. nearly $200 from hoekey skating. nearly $200 trom hockey and $100 from the curling club, but insurance, taxes, interest and lee management largely consumed thi- proceeds. Ways and means of great- er financial retfrns were discussed, Mr. R. L. Saunders emphasizing the necessity of retaining hockey players and putting a winning team on icons the leading means to this end. A soft ball town league with games in tho rink, in spring and fall months, was also suggested. One of the Best Attended and Rep- resentative Meetings for come time Chief discussion centred on the pro nasal to sell or lease the bowling' green immediatey south of the rink, to the Lawn Bowling Club. Reeve Calder as spokesman for the bowlers! submitted an offer "or $100 for the, green, but a number ot the rink share-' holders considered it worth $300 to! $500. The Bowling Club would not’ consider paying more, Mr Calder stat-1: ed. Leasing was then discussed.‘ which culminated in a motion by Mr.; R. MacFarlane, that the Bowliruri lClub lease the green for $15 annually: *for a term of 50 years and pay the, taxes. The long term was proposed in view of the fact that the bowlers and lady bowlers lutended erecting a club house on the grounds in the [near future. In amendment Mr. Cal- 'der moved that the green be sold to the Club tor 8100. On vote of the stock lepresented at the meeting, the amendment was defeated, and motion tor 50 year lease was Carried. Ott suggestion of R. L. Saunders, a motion carried that the Hockey Chm be given free use of the rink for one night, other than a. carnival. .
