sou` cum BRlD(`.E'W1NERS One of the pleasantest events of the year :took place at the Golf Clu Saturday afternoon. This was the .closing` of the summer season, and the club `house never looked more comfortable or cosy with its attract- ive interior pleasantly set off by the color and charm of the crisp Autumn weather outside. There` were a great many present and the occasion was marked by the presentation of bridge prizes won during` the sea- son in the various competitions that -were held at the club house. These were presented by Mrs. E. A. Wis- mer, Chairman of the Bridge Com- mittee, to the following winners: vv 1 I 1a-,,__-__J. A-..

C. Drury Deplores Sectionalism and Racial `Strife. The greatest mistake that people can make in this world is to allow themselves to be divided into sec- tions and classes, said Premier E. C. Drury on Tuesday, in an address which he gave to Barrie Kiwanians during the course of the weekly club luncheon at the Simcoe Hotel. The Premier s talk "was an interesting one. In it he `extolled the efforts that Kiwanians are making to pro- mote a better international `under- standing between Canada and the United States and also along the lines of civic betterment generally in towns and cities where Kiwanis aims and ideals are being fostered.
