The success of Barrie athletes on eld and track of `recent months, particularly in distance running, has provided the inspira- tion for the formation of a pro- posed athletic association here. The project was gotten under way at a largely attended meeting in the auditorium of the `Collegiate Institute last `Thursday evening. At this meeting the student body, ex-students and others who pro- pose taking advantage of such an association, Kiwanis Club, Board of Trade and Y.M.C.A., Board of Education and: B.C.I. teaching staff were all represented. A com- mittee composed of Messrs. Adams and Morrow. B.C.I. teachers, C. J. Seitz, Dr. VV. A. Lewis, Neil 'Mc- Bride. Frank Gordon `Sar- jeant, Howard Guest, Arthur Mc- Lean, Harold Bryson and Allan M Scott were appointed` to draft a constitution and procedure. they to report back to another meeting. `The Line Is Drawn Almost every speaker favored the proposed association. but ex- pressed the opinion that activities should be confined to one night a week and that students should not participate in athletics to-such an extent that it interfered with their studies. It was felt that students could get all the exercise and training they required during school hours and between four -and six o clock each day. but that an opportunity for healthful recrea- tion should be provided for those who work all day in factory or of- ce, but that it must be under pro- per supervision. The suggestion was made that the Y.M.C.A. at Al- l:1.T1(l2lle be made headquarters of the proposed association, with the B. C. I. p;ymnasium available when required. ` 'r\1 - n. 1.

He endorsed J. R. Dier s opinion that athletics should be kept within bounds and not per- mitted to take up too much of a boy's spare time. Proposes Age Limit Speaking for the Y.M.-C.A., of which he is a director, Dr. W. A. Lewis thought there should be a line of demarcation as to who should and should not participate in the activities of an athletic as- sociation such as proposed. He suggested an age limit or similar check. KKTTT ,,,, ,, AL A_,_',_ __ L, ____________'___ DLGIL UL lJu\J-Lu LUDLIUIIDIIJJCI If there was one sport he would advocate more than another it VVIIIUCI.

IIII__ A__,, - - - , __,_, --_-_--__'- Mrs. Hawker was a devoted wife and mother and a true home-lover she had two great hobbies, her needle- work and her flowers. Her garden, in summer was always greatly admired. She seemed to have a knack of keep- ing a steady showing of beautiful blooms of various kinds from early spring till late fall, while in winter potted plants and owering bulbs grew in profusion indoors. In her early womanhood she mar- ried Harry Hawker, a pioneer Cana- dian railroader, with whom she lived in various parts or Canada and the States until they came to settle in Penetanguishene 40 years ago. She is survived by her husband and four sons, Fred of Windsor, Ont., Harry, Jr., of Toronto, Jack, who is now in the Western States and Ernest of Capreol, Ont., and two daughters, Min- nie and Blanche who are at home in Penetangulshene; v The late Mrs. Hawker was born on Oct. 10th, 1854, at Saint Levis oppo- site the frowning wall of Quebec's citadel. She was a daughter of John Atkinson and Elizabeth his wife, who had come to Canada years before from England. Born of English parents in a French locality. in` early years she acquired a knowledge of both lang- uages and could discourse with equal fluency in either, which was a great advantage to her in and about this town and district. MRS. ELIZABETH HAWKER (Penetang Herald) It came as a great shock and grief to all when it became known that Mrs. Elizabeth Hawker, wife of Harry Haw- ker of this town, had passed away very suddenly on Friday evening, Nov. 16.

C.A. building involved was not es- sential to the development of sport. There was already a Y.M.C. A. building available at Allandale with an instructor. also a gymnas- ium- in B.*C.I. `What money was available should be spent on equip- ment. would be the manly art of self-de- fence-boxing', Dr. Lewis said; Some parents 'will say I want to develop a bunch of ghters, but my idea is the exact opposite. I know of no branch of sport which_ helps one s self control as does boxing--ability to take a few good taps in front of a crowd` and not lose his head. In reality boxing helps a boy to keep out of trouble rather than get into it. C1_.__`I_ . 11 no :- __.----.. ....- .....,,..w..

Later I went out and got more information. I phoned Mr. Bennett that I would have to id'is- associate myself with the proposal to dismiss Mr.' Hare. The two com- missioners, Messrs.
