What a pity every â€" country has not such a gathering ‘ centre! \ _ The Danes love flowers. Every house along the crooked streets had flower filled window: and all the homes, whether small or large, had plantings of shrubs, hedges of roses, using them as we do cedar hedges and beds of mixed flowers. | Speaking of beds makes one uncomâ€" fortable, sirce it calls to mind the difficulty we had in sleeping. First they raice your head high by _ a hard boister beneath the pillow and then cover you warmly on hot sultry . nights with a contraption made of stuffing, a heavy comforter or tick, between heavy linen sheets sewn seâ€" curely on three sides. It is a misery you can‘t o with it and you can‘t do without it. One tries doing with Iit and suffocates, then without it, ‘and wakes cold; then thoroughly aâ€" ‘ roused, one gets up and takes the stuffing out. Agriiculture is the dominant industâ€" ry in Denmark, bacon and _ butter being the chief exports. The butter is all it has been said to be. Every visitor exclaiméd over its delicate fNavor. but «trangely enough we nevâ€" er tastedc bacon in the land _ famed for its production since the Danish idea of breakfast consists of many kinds of breads, pastries and strong coffee, with plenty of the delicious butter. We were told however that the Danes use margarine instead. â€"(Continued en page $) 1 "Folk school" is a term originated by Danes and such schools are claimâ€" ed by them to be the basis of their success in their cooperative endeaâ€" vor. We visite@ two, and at one of these stayed three days. Dr. Peter Manniche is the director of the Peoâ€" ple‘s International Coljege, which in winter i: a Danish Folk School but in summer is a gathering centre for people of all nations. Here we met Scandinavians, Britishers from farâ€" flung parts of the Empire, including Ind‘a, and from Un ited States, the Philipp‘nes, Germany _ and Korea. The students and lecturers live in residence and combine visiting with lectures. Community singing is _ a feature of all Folk High Schools. Grundtvig, the founder of folk schools believed that singing together preparâ€" ed people to work together, so there is morning and evening song, singing before meals and often cinging after lectures. _A pleasant feature of the day was "coffee‘ served on the green at 4 o‘clock. Unlike us, they serve no hot drink at lunch and dinner which led us to anticipate the coffee hour . Elsinore, the international name of the town of Helsingor, from which we last wrote, is a quaint oldâ€"world place with narrow winding streets, a busy bharbor and Hamlet‘s Castle. The imposing castle, known as Kron berg, was built to command the chanâ€" nel between Denmark and Sweden. Its association with the sea is mainâ€" tained, since it is now the museum, containing models of ~hips from the time of the Vikings to the present day, and below its walls the many ships, sail as well as steam, passinâ€" to the harbor. The Danish people are considered the most friendly of the Scandinavian group of peoples. Swedish literature refers to them as a gay and friendly people and we have read many reâ€" ferences to their humor. We certainâ€" ly found them friendly and very helpful but not gay by our standards. Even the great crowds which we saw at the Tivoli, their beautiful amuseâ€" ment garden, while looking pleasant, laughed and talked little. The Danes are indifferent dressers; we . saw few smartly dressed people on the streets. Possibly good grooming and bicycling do not go well together. They are however, considered by auâ€" thorties to have the highest general level of culture of any nation in the world . ‘ Editor, Review: The comfortable homes of Denmark and its wellâ€"tflled corntryside have been left far behind We have travelled by train to Stockâ€" hoim, the beautiful capital city of Sweden and by Swedish ship across the Baltic Sea to Helsingfors, the capâ€" ital of the Finnish republic.

VaASEY to them, two being deâ€" OBITUARY With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader _ In return game at Harriston Monâ€" day, 18th Durham played their smartâ€" ‘est ball of the year to defeat Harrisâ€" 'ton 8â€"4. Durham scored 6 runs in a | | great 9th inning rally. I McLEANâ€"On August 24th to Mr and Mrs Hector McLean, Elgin Street, a daughter. GRIERSONâ€"In Durham hospital, on August 22nd to Mr and Mrs Wm. Grierson, Bentinck, a son. A regrettable accident occurred in practice before second game when Jean Murdock, Durham 1st baseman threw her knee out stepping on bag. As Durham had only 9 players, Quirk of Owen Sound Lady Greys, was perâ€" mitted to fill her place in â€"2nd game. With two of regular players off,â€"â€" Clara Thompson in Toronto and Susâ€" ie Bell in hospital, Durham did not give Wawanekas any serious opposiâ€" tion, and were overwhelmed both games. Even in best form however, neither. Durham nor H#.rriston could win from the smoothâ€"working Owen Sound champs. Durham wishes them all luck in their quest.of Provincia! honors . Both Durham and Harriston teams appeared in Owen Sound Saturday afternoon to meet the Wawanekas, and before play began, another teleâ€" gram from Miss Seddon at Ottawa, gave the two teams half an hour to decide winners. Durham bluntly inâ€" formed the Harriston players and manager that they had won 3 games and lost 0 in playoffs, had the proofs there to prove it, and were going to play 1st reund playdowns now â€" aâ€" gainst Wawas, whereupon â€" Harriston retired from the diamond. That night Harriston management phoned the Prov. President in Otâ€" tawa, that game was tied and she orâ€" dered a sudden death playoff in Hanâ€" over on following day Friday, to setâ€" tle it. Durham refused to play Harâ€" riston again, as they had already won thrice and gave Miss Seddon Prov. President, the actual facts. She ruled that TriCounty League must settle its . own championship, and the victor decided upon _ must play Wawanekas in Owen Sound next day, Saturday, in a double header. Thereupon Viceâ€"Pres. F. Ramage, acting in absence of Pres. J. R. Hamilton, informed Harriston that Durbam were Triâ€"County â€" winners, had signed statements from all offiâ€" cials that they won last game, and would play in Owen Sound Saturday Next day Sec‘y Croft of Harriston forwarded telegram "Harriston Triâ€" County winners owing to Durham deâ€" faulting game in Hanover". This gave Harriston another chance and a big crowd saw Durham play another smait game here Thursday with lively rooting. At end of 8th Durham led 9â€"4, but in «semiâ€"darkâ€" ness of 9th frame Harriston staged a 6 run rally to assume a 10â€"9 lead. Durham made a great comeback scorâ€" ing tyirg and winning runs, making it 11â€"10 for Durham and leaving runners on 3rd and 2nd with none out, when game was called. Harris ton scorer protested it was only _ a tie 10â€"10, but Durbam scorer and ofâ€" ficial scorer M. H. Bailey, had it 11â€" 10. A check up of Harriston score sheet was made and he had omitted one run scored by Durham in 1st, which both umpires agreed had been scored and a succeeding runner callâ€" ed out for not touching 3rd. Harrisâ€" ton still objecting, a scrap among the fans just began _ and _ was promptly stopped. With two losses and out, Harrisâ€" ton promptly entered a protest of game in Durham over the roughnes of grounds and no plate in p‘tcher‘s box. At an executive meeting in Harâ€" riston on Tuesday the protest was upâ€" held and game ordered replayed Thursday in Durbam with pitcher‘s plate placed in position. In first league play off game here, on Friday 14th, Harriston team dld, not arrive tilf 7 o‘clock and only 6: innings were possible then, the last two in semi darkness. In first four in daylight Durham led 6â€"3 but t.henI went to pieces and Harriston scored 13 in 5th and 6th frames. However rules state that when only 6 inniugs' can be played, score reverts to end of 4th giving Durham the victory. _‘ After a r0cky road filled with proâ€" tests and disputes, Durham girls‘ ball team emerged as victors in three straight games over Harriston in the final play offs, thereby winning the Triâ€"County _ League championship. Then in Owen Sound last Saturday, in the first of Provinc‘al playdowns against Owen Sound Wawanekas, Durham was squelched in a doubleâ€"â€" header, 20â€"3 and 12â€"2.
