Secretarym of the sponsoring Chamber of Com merce lieg Vclham said lilon day that it appeared the Chamb er would at least break even So while the rain drenched participants and often sent spec tutors

will be open to challengers for team from Stroud Canada to challenge the winners The first competition was held in Strand England during the County Fair 0n the final day of the fair team was chosen by the English town to with the Oklahoma team 3000 miles away who were throwing at their fair in Stroud The re sults of the contesLs were ex changed by cable and the win ners proclaimed as soon as pos sible Describing the contest the Strand News and Journal says that the challenge came from the Oklahoma group who found that some of their men could throw an ordinary house brick quite distance The story savs that in this little western vil lage much smaller than Stroud England some hefty types were found anxious to defend the fair name of their Land of the Free and Home of the Brave and of fared the Englishmen the chal lenge It arrived by mail earlier this year The British were impressed to damn that an American maga zine Life was to send its own photographers to cover the con test TEAM OF SIX Six brick beavers were select ed for the team and the brick factory at Stonehouse nearby town made 50 special bricks without charge weighing five pounds each instead of the usual seven and half pounds The crossthcseas cables kept the contestants informed on how the game was progressing on both sides of the Herring Pond reported the Strand Journal OKLAHOMA Wle In the next weeks paper we learn that the Strand Oklahoma team won the brick heaving con test longAdistance phone call across the nearly 4000 miles gave the information that the US teams longest throw was we feet inches compared with the record for the English team of of feet inches Now this will give Canadian team something to shoot at so if there are six good stalwart men of Strand Ontario or district who feel that they would like to challenge the American winners lets hear from them soon This copy will he read in both the Strand towns so perhaps we will be able to semi on challenge At the County Fair or first our School Fair would be good INNISFIL OTES By no5 timc to try out for competitors The News Journal suggests that Stroud New South Wales he invited into the contest so let us see if we cannot settle who the North American champions should be DEED PENDING The proper decding of the strip of land at the font of the street in Tollendal is still pending WhethA er this should be made to the township or to the committee is still undecided The fence placed in front of this strip is still in tact The clerk asked what pro gress was being made stated that it was being left with the committee PRESS ECHARGES Chief Brown of Innisfil states that he will definitely not with draw the charges laid against the truckers who are accused of littering the roads and highway with the strong smelling manure from the Tom Wright farm last week He also asserts that his officer did not insist on the trucks dumping their loads at the yard when they planned to proceed through the back of the farm to the ninth line and out that way to their destination He says that the officertold the truckers that if they continued to allow the smelly material to get on the roads they would face additional charges for this The accused truck owners will appear in Bar rie magistrates court some time early in September Chief Brown states that the Health Department is still in sistent on the material being moved He has been informed by the Health Inspector that far from withdrawing the order he is still keeping it in effect and the owners are liable to court ac tion if it is not obeyed Removal however does not necessarily mean hauling the fertilizer beyond the farm nor allt lowing it to pollute the surround ing area by spreading it around One suggestion offered is that bulldozer be engaged to dig and bury the material close to where it is now Then with fresh start and dump truck on hand as has it mentioned by Mr wright the heap could be kept cleared before it built up such powerful odour AUCTION SALE There is sad note about the selling of the belongings of and old home contents Treasures that had beenthe companions of family for the years they kept house These are spread about the yard and the inquisitive eyes of the buyers appraize them for their dollar value Many of the articles are old and snow the at the Beamiin Construction wear of years Some have reach ed the state where they are in the antique class This was the case in the sale noon The goods of the late Mrs Hoover and her former husband were disposed of by auction They brought good value so far as sale goes Many of those in atA tendance were from summer dist rict and they paid what was ask ed untilthey got what they want ed Some articles made second sale before they left the yard Sproule was auctioneer and councillor William Gibbins looked after the clerking It rained all afternoon during the sale which continued at good pace as the bidding was brisk The home has been sold and soon will become the Imldar of new

the Innisfil district In fact it was somewhat of surprise to learn just how many people are becoming pony minded It was bad place to bring the family if one had not the resistance to ward off the demand of the child who asks daddy buy me pony The little animals steal the hearts of the children and the shnwmen who put them through their acts are the envy of every child who would fear to be near
