The W.M.S. are planning on pack- ing their summer bale and if anyâ€" one has anything to contribute to it, the ladies will be only too glad to have itâ€"anything that the children have outgrown, and yet is in fairly good condition, or any small items suitable to accompany a layette 01‘ quilts, etc. An announcement from the pulpit on Sunday asked for these articles to 'be left at the church or at Mrs. MoRclberts’ as soon as poss- inle as the day for packing is set for Monday, June 3rd. The W.A. have secured Dr. Hogg‘ of the Observatory to speak on his European trips for the May supper which is to be held on May 29th. Also Mr. John Tracey, Richmond Hill, to give a few of this readings. Those who have heard Mr. Tracey before will want to come again just to hear him, and then Dr. Hogg‘ surely would be an added attracâ€" tion. There will also be special music. Perhaps some one will ‘be saying I thought these W.A. suppers were only for winter time. It is left en- tirely with the leaders and their helpers to decide, and as the roads were had during the winter, several times the refreshments that were orâ€" dered did not arrive and they had to be ‘bought, which lowered the funds considerably. So please come along and help the good cause. The groups are all trying hard to make it an entertaining and social evenâ€" ing each month, which should en- courage you to come out.

"In Essentials. Unity: In Non-essentials. Liberty: In All Things, Chanty' The gates of Richmond Hill’s 915t annual Spring Fair swing open Fri- day morning, and if favored with favorable weather the event prom- ises to be one of the best in the long history of the Society. Judging by the enquiries and large number of entries received the showing of horses will be considerably larger than last year. The increasing in,- terest of Hunt Club members and: the large number of saddle horses in this part of the country would indi- cate that the saddle and hurdle events will be more keenly contest- ed and this popular feature of the Fair promises to be the best since it was added to the program. Interviewed by The Liberal this morning President Harry P. Charles made a plea for support for the Fair this year. “Our 91st annual Fair will be held under the cloud of serious conditions in Europe”, he said. “Nevertheless I think the pre- sent and fateful period presents a challenge to all of us to do all we possibly can in holding the line on the home front. The Agricultural Society appreciates its responsibility- in. this regard and its aim is to give every possible effort to assist the important Agricultural Industry and thus help our national effort.” Mr. Charles extends a hearty invitation to all citizens of the district, young and old to attend the Fair and join in the program which has been ar- ranged.
