To m-- Q------ THE AGRICULTURAL COURSE There has been a fairly good at. 'tendance at the four-day agricultural 'farmers and others interested in poultry, 'Friday's program will be devoted to live stock and field husbandry.

Wife and family. -- QO THE CARNIVAL We were just in time for the car- nival. Had it been sooner or later the soft weather would have spoiled it. The attendance was not as large as in some years, but fairly good, however, The showing of costumes wac very good, some thirty or forty} being in fancy dress. Some of 'the ideas were quite ingenious. Mrs, Ronald Peel is to be complimented upon her initiative in carrying out new ideas in home made costumes. As will be seen by the list she re- ceived the five dollar gold piece. It is unfortunate that there was so little competition in the Bruce Camp- bell Trophy Cup Race. Of course the absence of the Hockey Club at Stouff- ville that night made a difference, as there are several good skaters in the team. However, Mr, Harry King gave a "good exhibition of fast skating, gaining nearly two laps on his near- est competitor, Mr. Wm. Owen. Some of the other races were quite speedy, particularly the half mile for boys 12 to 16; and for girls 16 and over. This event seems to have been near the winding up for the season. The folowing were the prize win- ners. Best costume, home-made -- Mrs. Ronald Peel. Best Costumed Lady--1 Miss Helen Mellow; 2 Mrs. Mac.

The only charge is for a card to those that wish to borrow books. Every resident should embrace the opportunity of the Reading Room where a good supply of the choicest magazines and a considerable Re- ference section are available. Our stock of books are added to from time to time, as necessity and finances permit. On the present property, the Library Board has been paying the mortgage in annual instalments and the accrued interest till the principal | sum remains at $400. This should be "wiped off in two years or even earlier if desired. The addition of a coal heater, in constant operation, has made the Reading Room more com- fortable. The Library is an asset of Port Perry and should commend itself to the loyal and liberal patronage of all citizens. Fpr 1926 there were 124 new borrowers added--making the total list of borrowers 548--a very commendable percentage of our popu- lation. Let every citizen boost this institution which holds a position of importance second to none in the community. The War Memorial Library Com- thittee has on hand in cash $1600 and promises $300--towards the erection of a new building to the unselfish sacrifice of many of our heroes, the time for which is long past due, but which will surely come. The War Memorial Library is on the way and when completed will be handed over to the Village Council as a valuable asset. Can you help the good work. tH pre A U. E. LOYALIST Mr. S. E. Allison brought to our office a picture of Mrs. Henry Hoover (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Huff.) Mrs. Hoover was born in 1773 and died in 18656. She was one of the first United Empire Loyalists to come to Canada, arriving at a time when there were practically' no white peo- ple in the country. Mrs. Hoover was a grandmother to Mr, Allison.

On the 2nd page of this issue will be found the first announcement of an Essey Contest for school children of weekly papers, including the Port Perry Star, Not only are there valuable cash prizes to be won, but pupils winning prizes will bring sig- nal honor not only to th es but which is being conducted by a group' WINN. ING SOME GAMES Port Perry Hockey team has been showing up to good advantage in the recent games. They won out on the "Cup Series" * ° two goals, having played six games w» -h Uxbridge. The last game was a lively one; and at times it looked as though the "rules" were forgotten. Some disappoint- ment was expressed by the fans that the cup was not presented to the win. ning team that night. However, Port won, and all things come to those that wait. i At the Stouffville Woiirnament, Port Perry beat Whitby. As Ux- bridge had defeated Stouffville, and Brooklin had defaultéd to them, it re- mains for .Uxbridge and Port Perry to play the final game. Probably the present cold snap will provide the necessary ice for the event. We understand that the winners in this game are to be presented with gold to their parents, their teachers, their schools, and the community as a whole. There is no reason why a reader of the Port Perry Star should not win the first prize. We believe that a number of the prizes can be brought home to this community, and we urge parents and teachers to do all they can to encourage boys and girls to enter the contest. Read the rules carefully 'and if there is any- thing about them that you do- nof understand, the editor will be glad to tch We hope Port Perry makes "good time" upon this occasion, 0 MIAMI, FLORIDA To the Port Perry Star, From A, D.
