Temper- ance built a large hall over the North shed and it was used for Sunday School and Community purposes. When the Sunday School movedj i nto S.O.T. Hall a fine library was established with Mark Munday Sr. the efficient librarian for rftany years. The library created a fine literary influence in the community. Those were the days when the Pansy Books, E. P. Roe, G. Hanty, Charles M. Sheldon, etc., were in popular demand. Before the Sons o! Temper- ance Hall was built, it was the cistom on the third Saturday of June for the men and boys to turn out in full force to prepare for the Sunday School Anniver- sary. Benches stored above the beams in the Church shed were taken and the whole yard roof- ed over with evergreens brougbt down from Cole's woods. After the S.O.T. Hall was erected the Church yard was roofed over making an excellent auditorium for the holding of S.S. Anniver- saries and community events, the seating capacity being about 600. S. S. Supi. for 50 Years Mr. Jacob Stevens, the first S.S. Superintendent, held the position for over 50 years and has bad only three successors: George We are one of the 1126 Dry Cleaners in Ail America Who know the secret ihat gets ouf ail the dirt.

(To be continued) Temperance Contest At Enniskillen Shows Fine Oratory (Crowded out last week) The semi-annual Temperance oratorical Contest under the aus- pices of the Mission Band took place Friday evening, March 13. In spite of the hazardous date, bad roads and the waning epid- emic of chicken pox, 41 of a pos- sible 68 contestants participated. We were favored by having two competent judges, Mrs. G. Empry and Miss Mary Niddery of Hamp- ton, who had a very difficult task in deciding a winner in each class as ail were close competi- tors. One judge remarked she would like to give each one first place, a third judge, Mrs. A. Pres- cott, Enfield, was unable to at- tend because of road conditions. Rev. F. M. Seymour in his usuai jovial manner, acted as chairman. In the first group under 4 years there were 5 competing with Lockie MeNair chosen as first. In the second group of 5 year olds were two competitors with Georgie Leadbeater, as first. In the 6 and 7 year olds there were 10 competitors with Kath- ryn Slemon, the winner. The 8 and 9 year old group had six contestants with Cheryl Rowan, receiving the Jr. Bronze Medal. In the 10 and Il year old group were three participants with Bruce Ferguson, winning a bronze medal. In the 12 years and over groiîp there were four competing with Nancy Wood, the winner of the ruedal. ln the Jr. Silver medal group there were five competing with the medal won by Bruce Mills. The Sr. silver medal group hadJ three contestants with Garth Me- Gill, taking the medal. A special group of Ray Ashton, Gary Beckett, and Jimmy Rowan, gave .selections but flot in com- petition as they are holders, of silver medals and will compete for a gold medal when there are 5 contestants. Between each group the audi- ence were entertained with piano music by Phyllis Howell, Ray Ashton, Nancy Wood, Elenor -leard and accordion music by Gloria Wright. During the period given the judges to make their decisions lIrs. Seymour with Mrs. G. Yeo t the piano led in a sing-song. Each competition was rewarded with a gift. The prizes and medals were presented by Mrs. Seymour nd Mrs. L. Ashton. Expressions )f appreciation were given by Irs. L. Ashton and Mrs. J. Sle- non.
