The youngest child present was the two month old son of Mr and Mrs Hugh McLean, near Swinton Park, The daughters of Mr Arch Fergus on, Mrs Robt Lane and Mrs James Sturrock, are to be given the credit for planning and arranging this reâ€" union, which was such a success, that the members hope to make it an annual affair.

FERGUSON FAMILY CELEâ€" BRATE AT SWiNTON PARK The farm home of Mr Arch Fergusâ€" on, con 14, Proton, was the scene of the first Ferguson reâ€"urnion on Monâ€" day last. About 127 descendants sat down to a dinner and supper that would do justice to a duke or earl. On Monday, ‘Civic holiday, three Durham rinks went to Hanover to the annual tournament, when 37 rinks competed. The rinks were skipped by W. 8. Hunter, J. S. Mellraith and T G. Gocdchild, Others playing were : Messrs J. P. Hunter, O. S. Hunter, Frank Mcellraith, Doug. Ewen, Wm. Vollett, Roy Sparling, Alex Hay, Dr. Smith. Play was keen but no prizes came Durham‘s way, The winning rink and prizes went to J. C. Mcâ€" Donald, Chesley. DURHAM BOWLERS MIX WITH NEIGHBORING GBOWLERS On Friday last a mixed Durham rink motcred to Mount Forest, where the annual tournament was in progâ€" ress. The party were Mr and Mrs R. Sparling, Miss Marion Calder anda Dr Smith. They came home with the 4th prize, which were bridge deck sets to the ladies and bowling measuring tapes to the gentlemen. Of the 16 rinks competing, Elmira rink came high. We congratulate our young friend on this appointment to a larger field of labor, and feel confident that the success that has marked his minisâ€" try in the past, will continue in his new work. Mr Bell has had a three field preaching station at Rivers, Man., the past three years and the change to a oneâ€"pulpit appointment will end for him much tiresome driving. REV. JOHN BELL RECEIVES CALL TO BRANDON An interesting anouncement this week, coâ€"incident with his arrival in Durham, is the fact that Rev. John Bell, B. A., previous to coming: East, received a unanimous call to Knox United Church, Brandon, Manitoba, which he has accepted, Knox United Church of that city is one of four in a city of 18,000 population, and what makes it more of a popular call, is the fact that it was unsought. \Presbyterian Garden Party | Successful Event There was a general booth in charge of the men and candy, ice cream, hot dog, ple and cake tables, also small refreshment tables in charge of the ladies, All were liberally patronized, especially when the program was not on, The lower admission of 35¢ meant reduced gate receipts, still over $187 was taken in at gate, and over $100 will be netted by the congregation. For over two hours these popular cntertainers amused the crowd with but one 20 minute intermission, supâ€" plying an entirely new program â€" to previous appearances here. It is their pep, personality and punch, which put their numbers over so effectively. For real humor and good skits howâ€" ever, the program was not up to the standard of some preceding years. With the ever popular Brunswick trio back again as the attraction, the Presbyterian garden party at R. Lawson‘s last Friday night, drew a large crowd of between five and six hundred, which was a splendid turnâ€" cut in this year of depression. The night was ideal, the grounds attractâ€" ively laid out and seats were proâ€" vided for half the crowd to enjoy the program . Che Gurhiom Review.

L. Saunders of the Juniors, all tendâ€" ered their resignation and â€" refused to continue in office. They feel they have done their share and it is now up to the hockey enthusiats to asâ€" semble next week and elect a manâ€" agement. This is essential to raise funds to begin this coming season. A meeting is to be held next Tuesâ€" day night at 8.15, when it is hoped a larger gathering of town hockey fans will show sufficient interest to atâ€" tend and make the selection of a new management. This action is made necessary by the officers for the past year, who have made a success of the handling of the teams and seen them well equipped, desiring to reâ€" tire. Pres. H,. W.

New Management Required for Hockey Teams The annual meeting of Durham Hockey Club was called for Tuesday evening, in Star Theatre, but as a representative crowd was not present the gathering heard the financial statement and decided after starting, not to go on with election of officers.

When we visited the field on Monâ€" day, there were two or three thousâ€" and spectators. Durham ladies‘ softâ€" ball team was scheduled to play in a girls‘ ball tournament, but the honâ€" ors went decidedly to Dundalk.
