Houghton Families I In Annual Re-Union EBARRIE NOW sums . BEING IN PLAY-OFF I Barrie made certain of being in the play off for the South Simcoe League championship by a.dminister- ing the home team s fourth consecu- tive defeat at Alliston on Friday afternoon. The nal count, 19-10, sounds more like the verdict of a gridiron contest rather than the re- sult of a diamond struggle. For the Barrie players it was a grand op- portunity to materially fatten their batting average. Jennings, who started in the box for the losers, had nothing tltat was particularly puz- izling`, and ere he retired at the end of the seventh twelve Barrie hits and eleven runs had been registered- Small succeeded Jennings and in the two remaining innings the Barrie talent harvested eight more hits. The thermometer of batt.in_9: averag'e.=1 surely took a tlremendous jump. Fir-ltlnvs nrvnvq wm-n nnnwm-rm: T1- suneiy LOOK a nremenuous Jump. Fielders errors were numerous.

Monday's game was a ragged ex- hibition of baseball. The Barrie aggregation elded well and Emms pitching` was the redeeming feature of the game, but the Collingwood team played poorly. They seemed to lack pep and their performance was in decided contrast to the game played in Barrie. Monday was civic holiday in the shipbuilding town and the whole place was en fete. A large crowd was present until the end of the seventh innings, when, evidently disg'runtlerI at see- ing the home team defeated, they de- parted and left the grounds almost deserted. It was anything but en- Couraging for the Collingwood team. 'r.l .....1..\..;,. .. Y),......L....... :.....__,L L,`,,, .' l I ._.-..-..:...a .... aux. \./vnnnusvvvukl u:u.1u.

For only the first four innings did the contest resemble a rational ball game. At the end of the fourth Barrie was ahead 3-1, and it looked as if the struggle would be tight. But in the fth the old ball game blew. Barire scored five runs and came riglzt back in the sixth with four more. In the seventh they made it thirteen.

So far there is no evidence of any- thing` but the money being taken, though Mrs. Turner s diamond rings and other jewelry were lying around.

The storm sewers had to be laid on the north side of the street in- stead of the south side, as at first planned, and had to be put down deeper than expected in order to get a clear passage under the water mains and under_9;round wires. The sewer being` put on the north side necessitated more cutting across the street than at first thought. It was hoped that use could have been made of the old storm sewers crossing: from the north side, but the new sewers had to be put down deeper than usual to clear the other ob- structions on the street and conse- quently tlze old storm sewer near the post office had be dug up.

Throughout his speech he urged condence in one another and deplored the epicurean tendencies of modern people. I nd people afraid they are not go- ing to get all life has; they are snatching greedily for more to wear, more to eat, more wealth, more to steal, and more pleasure, saying `We are here to-day and gone to-mom'ow; let us get the most out of it. l Tlirx mnnnlznr fnlrl alnnuir n umlL+p._ l(.'L us get me most out 0: it."' The speaker told about a well-to- do man who never attended church; yet on his death bed sent for him and asked that his daughter be placed in a religious institution, where she would be brought up in an atmosphere of condence ree'ct- ed in the goodness of life. Her father, like many others, was a good Christian, yet did not attend church because he was out of harmony with certain intellectual ideals and dog- matic doctrines which the church upheld. /n all iennuv Han An.-mflne f'vnn,1 les, wmcn was won atteI1(|e(l.

By winning the hose reel contest, the premier event of the day, in the record time of forty-six and three-quarter seconds, Penetang became first holders of the handsome trophy presented to the Association by the County.

Nevertheless, it did them good to say it and certainly did me pzood to hear it, declared the preaclier. The kind of people we are is deter- mined by the answer we give to the all mean ?

It is probable that in the near future a drive for subscriptions will be organized. No appeal to tlze public has been made for several years and in view of the fact that town and neighbouring townships receive considerable bene- t from it, the drive should meet with a hearty response. Owing to the general depression of the past two years the Royal Victoria Hospi- tal, in common with most hospitals in Ontario, has received much less revenue. The advisability of selling the nures home to raise necessary funds was considered at length, but no action was taken. Tlze Board realizes that it would be a step back to sell it, but cannot see its way clear to maintain it unless funds are forth- coming`. It is likely that this ques- tion will be discussed further hy the directors. wuuu L0 ue unarue LEWIS.

The rate for this year is 2.6 mills higher than last. The increase is accounted for as follows : County rate 1.1 mills, township rate 1 mill, and general school levy 5 mills. Over the appropriation set aside for county purposes the township has no control, the advanced township rate is the result of more roadwork, while the general school levy is heavier that last year s decit may be taken care of. mu 1 vv uuu uvvwu DIILCC U]. will: UIUUE.
