We understand that the late Mr I Hiltz, oneâ€"time mayor of Toronto and an enthusiatic lawn bowler, was the author of the following lines. ‘There may be ither games as grand As bowlin‘ on the green, But they‘re not found in; this fair land Sae far as I have seen. I dinna ken the games they play On ony ither planet. But no‘ a game that‘s played up there ‘Compares wi‘ bowlisâ€"how can it ? I‘ve met a lot o‘ silly fauk Wha think they ken it a‘ They tell us men the game to play Is playin‘ wi‘ a ba‘, Like baseball, gouf, or cricket stuffâ€" Ye ken the kind I mean. How daftâ€"like to compare sic games Wi‘ bowlin‘ on the green. For when the air is balmy, lads, ’ And the green is rinnin‘ true, Wi‘ birdies singin‘ roond about :}nd a‘ the sky is blue, Among yer freends aâ€"crackin‘ jokes Yer troubles a‘ forgotâ€" It‘s then ye draw up to the jack Or get yer runnin‘ shot. ‘Then, lads, bhoo can a buddie say There‘s onything on airth The equal o‘ this bonhie game, l Or even half its worth ? So, thus I say. say bowlers a‘ s Wherever games are seen, The very finest o‘ them a‘ Is bowlin‘ on the green. SALARY DEDUCTIONS To ] BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Over 9,000 Canadian commercial 'and industrial firms have already set up the system of voluntary salâ€" ery deductions to enable their emâ€" ployees to purchase War Savings' | Certificates by easy and regular inâ€" stalments. ‘The same plan has been extended to include parts of the Civil Service and government pensioners.’ More than 1,250,00 employees come| [within the scope of this plan. _ A large proportion have already pledgâ€" ed themselves to purchase War Sav-i ings Certificates in this way. Ini many cases the deductions are for, small amounts, perhaps fifty cents or a dollair each payâ€"day, but in the; aggregzat> the investment of these‘ employees in War Savings Certiâ€" fcates reaches an impressive sum | every month. Now, anyone in Canâ€"‘ ada who operates a bank account may emulate this fine example in practical patriotism. _ Every charterâ€"| ed bank in Canada has available a special "pledge form""‘ to be used by depositors to instruct their bankers | to purchase War Savings Certificat-i es for them on the 15th of each | month by means of automatic deâ€" ductions from their regular accounts.

Jimmie is now in his eighties, but clean, simple living hbas enabled him to withstand the rayâ€" ages of lime, and continue to ent°râ€" tain throughout the years. Public entertainers of the present day are however, little in demand ecmpared to 20 or 30 years ago. Local plays or local talent programs are just as crowdâ€"pleasing and much less exâ€" pensive, ‘while the variety programs heard daily over the radio have apâ€" peased the public‘s demand for outâ€" side entertainment to a large extent.
