Members of the Women’s Institute and their families held their annual picnic in the Masonic Hall on July 14th with a large attendance. Every- one enjoyed the supper and the en- tertainment supplied by Miss Hat. wood, Miss Keffer, Miss Shields, 'Mrs. W. G. Woods, Mrs. Neil Woods and Maple Orchestra. Mrs. Nixon gave a toast to Mrs. McCrimmon, Mrs. W. G. Woods gave a toast to the men, Miss Irene Chapman to the Institute. A pleasing feature was the presentation to Mrs. Cousins of a relish plate, she being the oldest member and one of the three mem- lbers who started the Institute forty years ago. The following article was read by Mrs. F. S. Rumble. Forty years ago three busy farm- er wives decided to meet together in a tiny group for the purpose of mak- ing the humdrum tasks of their lives more interesting and more use- ful to themselves and the other wo- men of the community. During those long summer days and the long win- ter evenings those three women dreamed of the Institute and wond- ered just how much such a group might mean to the community. To- night, forty years later, that tiny group has outgrown the age of can- dles and lamps and is now large enough to hold their own commun- ity party here in our modern world of electric lights, automobiles, and modern society of all kinds. We have with us to-night one of the three women who started the Insti- tute 40 years ago and she forms a living link between our party to- night and those first meetings so many years. Mrs. Cousins we want to tell you that the vision of what the Institute could mean to our dis- trict has grown with the years and we want to honor you this evening as one of the ladies and founder of the Community Group. We will read a little poem written entirely for you: Dear Mrs. Cousins: There’s a beauty in your life work, We have seen it year by year. And toâ€"night we would remind you That to us you are very dear. We are meeting in a circle. Which you started years ago, If that circle now is greater You have helped to make it so. Will you take this little token, Of the debt we owe to you And accept it with our thanks For the years of service true. Women’s Institute.

Crop Conditions Very Promising in The Province The latest crop report prepared by the Statistics Branch shows that field crops generally in Old Ontario made phenomenal growth in the month of June. An abundance of moisture and fairly cool weather provided the best growing conditions experienced in years. Fall wheat and fall rye, hay and clover, spring grains and. pas- tures grew very rapidly. Fall wheat DR; VICTORIA CHEUNG OF SOUTH CHINA IS ENTERTAINED Mrs. C. W. Follett and? Miss F01- lett held a lawn party Tuesday. afâ€" ternoon at the parsonage grounds in honor of Dr. Victoria Cheung who has been in Toronto taking post- graduate studies during her furlough year. Quite a number of the ladies of the village weuw present, while several of the young ladies assisted with the refreshments. Dr. Chveung‘ returns to her work in South China in a few weeks ana is taking with her the best wishes of the many friends she is leaving behind in Can- ada. She is working under the aus- pices of the W.M.S. of the United Church of Canada. J. E. Smith and G. S. Walwin won the prize for two wins at the doubles tournament at Unionville last Thurs- day evening. is now ripening in Western Ontario and in this section of York County harvesting has already commenced. Bumper yields will be obtained on most fields, but lodging has reduced the yield somewhat on some stands. Spring grains have developed so rap- idly in most of Central and Southâ€" western Ontario as to completely off- set the extreme lateness of seeding. Early oats and barley premise ex- cellent yields. In Eastern Ontario spring .grains have made good growth but are still below average. In Lake Erie counties frequent rains have in- terfered: with haying operations and made curing difficult. As a result a considerable quantity of hay in this section will be of inferior qual- ity. Weeds are the worst in years as late see-ding and wet conditions of the soil have prevented cultivat- Mg. However crop conditions on the whole are quite promising in Old Ontario. In the major portion of Northern Ontario the weather since seedling has been too dry for satis- factory growth. The hay crop is especially poor and spring grains are backward and need rain for con- tinued develOpment. Grasshoppers are causing considerable damage in sections of Sudlbury, ALgoma and Manitoulin, and applications of poi- son bran have been necessary. Ten rinks competed in the regu- lar Monday night mixed tournament and president Clement piloted the winning rink, “A1” White, James McLean, J. E. Smith and L. H. Cle- ment skip. Richmond Hill’s annual tOurna- ment for the Mulocx Cup will be played here next Wednesday, July 28th. A large entry: is expected. Earl Rowe, M.P., provincial con- servative leader was the main speak- er of the day who directed severe criticism against the Hepburn gov- ernment for their stand against the 0.1.0. At the convention of the North York Li'b-eral-Coriservative Associa- tion held at Newmarket last Satur- day Major Alex. McKenzie, former reeve of Woodlbridge, was chosen as candidate to contest the next .pro- vincial election. Others naminated were Clifford Case, K.C., who was the defeated candidate in the last election, Dr. Boyd of Newmarket, Dr. Boulding of Aurora and A. Hulse also of Aurora. Mr. Cause declined to let his name stand and the other four went to the ballot. After the first voting Dr. Boyd and A. Hulse retired and on the second ballot Major McKenzie defeated Dr. Bouldâ€" mg. MAJOR MCKENZIE IS CONSERV- ATIVE CANDIDATE IN NORTH YORK BOWLING NOTES BAKING SALE According- to Provincial ' Officer Howard Jackman, who assisted in the? investigations, Pattersion’s car skidded almost 300 feet before com- ing to a stop. The radiator of the car was smashed back into the motor -by the impact. It’s a long time since such an im- pressive service was held here. Alex. came here eight years ago and al- though his young life was cut off at fifteen he had made an unusually large numlber of friends. He was fond of music and along with his brothers often sang. On the ball field he was a superior player, ‘being‘ an excellent catcher. In the field of elocution he did excellent work hav- ing won the prize at York County Council two years ago. He so ap- plied himself at school that his: school mates and teacher all loved‘ him. Hence when the last rites were Ibeing done on Wednesday many tears were shed. The district was shoeked by an- other motor fatality Monday even,- i‘ng‘ when George Spears of Elgin Mills was instantly killed when he was struck by a car driven by Herâ€" bert Thompson of Newmarket. Spears was riding home from work on a bicycle and is the third acciâ€" dent within a short period in which a cyclist was involved. The sympathy of the whole com- munity is extended to the brothers and Miss Mortson and family. The service was conducted by Rev. W. Haig and Rev. J. MacDonald. the Quintette from Brethren in Christ Church sang two very appro- priate numbers, “N0 Night There," and “The Eastern Gate,” the latter by request of the brothers John and Isaac. The floral tributes, about 30 in number, filled the room where the casket W345 viewed. They were carâ€" ried to the grave by sixteen boys and girls, associates of the deceased. The bearers were Bruce Clow, Ernest Merchant, Richard Rice, An- drew Forsan, Paul Hei‘se- and Harold Chadwick. ' Another Cyclist Killed By Auto The. late Mr. Spears had resided in this district for several years livâ€" ing at Oak Ridges before moving to Brookside. The funeral was held to-d«ay, Thursday, and interment fol- lowed at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Thrown 50 feet from his bicycle into a ditch, Norman Petty, 18, of Cherrywood, was instantly killed late Saturday night in collision with a car on a side road two miles north of Markham. Kenneth Patterson of Stouffville, driver of the car, was held on a charge of mansllaughter by Provincial Officer Alec. Ferguson, Thornhill, and Chief James Walker, Markham. He was lodged in Lang- staff jail and later released on bail The funeral of the late Alex.
