That wo WO a calamity, We need some game that Il always be a a: boy amateurs. We need a game that does not require a great deal of expense to play it. We need a game that the old folk can play just for the fun of it. Those who pitch horseshoes are good sports. There is no jangle among them, and they make nothing out of being winners. The need o f port to-day is that there shall be fewer fans and is is a particular need in rural districts where play is not easy to organize and maintain. Horseshoe pitching is a natural outlet for play among farniers, and any attempt to pro- fessionalise the game will be a distinct loss to rural people. | CONSERVATIVE BUYING Financial men are beginning to tell their customers that this is a good time for conservative buying of thoroughly reliable stocks.

Six Weeks to Christmas year has nearly passed. It is only a little more than six The until Christmas, and there is so much to do. So fast x vo time flown that it is hard to believe that the end of the year is near. It ytake a little more courage than usual for 'some of us to do "business as usual," but we must not forget those kindly deeds that are part of the Christmas spirit--a spirit that grew out of*the Greatest Gift that was ever given to humanity. The earth is an as ever it was, in spite of any temporary de- pression that we may experience. - _ GASOLIN E x Recently, according to a report from Lindsay a tank of gasc- thought e was emptying it into the proper receptacle, when in point of fact that storehouse was full. The result was that the whole carload of gasoline léaked away, went down the sewers, and the fumes of the gasoline were found in the cellars of many of the downtown districts. By some miracle no damage was done: but there must have been some special Providence guarding the place. "A little while ago some men were fixing a launch, and the gasoline leaked out and lay on the surface of the watér. There must have been quite a quantity lost, for when a lighted match Oe a fire, and the boat and its occupants were rescue it] ulty. Gasoline is a dangerous servant, and it never seemed wise to| | be "a cigarette or other form of tobacco while filling the tank of an automobile. It may be better to smoke here than hereafter, but there i is no need to try the experiment too soon. (joked as (Canadian Press) invite men to dinner to tell them how brave they are." This observation of the earliest laughs at the much- anticipated dinner to the hold®rs of the Victoria Cross, over which his Royal Highness presided on November Oth. The fonction took place in the august precincts of the House of Lords and there was muster of just over 300 holders of what his Royal Highness described as "the most democratic and at the same time the most exclusive J order of chivalry." Among these soberly clad find unas- suming-looking men were not a few who carried great scars on their faces, who hada grievous halting gait or whose eyes were sightless--eloquent addition to the testimony of the medals that it was no sitting-down of ordinary civilians. Worn Veterans Present, There were one or two also who halted in their walk from infirmities 'which the mere passing of the years 'bring: Lieut.-Col J." H. Reynolds, for example, now aged 86, and Private John Williams, only four years younger, both susvivors of the epic in- cident of Rorke's Drift, of exactly 50 years ago. At the other end of this file of half a century of valor was the smiling, dark-bearded Indian, Subadar Sihgh Ishar, who won the Cross in Indian warfare three years after the Great War was over. There was also the youngest V.C., Sergeant Thomas Ricketts, of Newfoundland, 28 years old, The dinner took place in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords; which adjoins their Lordships' chamber. The chamber itself was used as.a recep- 'tion room where the guests awaited 'the Prince's coming in. On the red benches where the aug- ust legislators of the upper House ave wont to dispose themselves, dn the great ottoman where one usually be- holds a bevy of Bishops, dnd even on 'that curious setee known as the wool- sack and customarily sacred to the Lord High Chancellor of England, there sat idly round on Saturday night 800 men that they each possessed a certain little bronze cross. Balloting for scats. The Prince of Wales veceived the V.C.'s in the lobby bettveen tthe Lord's chamber and the Royal Gallery, Apart from the wearers of the Victoria Cross the only persons present were the ex- ecutive of the British Legion, under Lord Jellicoe, and a considerable body of newspapermen. Admission of the latter was designedly generous, inas- much as the function was intended to be a large-scale advertisement for the [Earl Haig Fund for disabled veterans 'which depend so largely upon the sale of artificial poppies on Armistice Day. Except. the seat for' Lord Jellicoe, every place at the table was decided by ballot. The Royal Gallery, so called, is real 'ly a hall, almost of the same propor: tions as the chamber of the House of Lords itself, and is cast in the same gothic style. On the walls are huge mural paintirgs with which, it is safe to say, every British child for three generations has been familiar--the death "of Nelson and the meoting of , Blucher and Wellington at Waterloo, Magnificent as are the decorations of this room, an extraordinary addi- tional effect was visible as one looked '| across the long line of totes on Sat- urday. At regular intervals - were standards of Haig poppy, each stand- "| ard bearing a representation of the Victoria Cross, also in poppies.

'So it was all along the tables, while the waiters, who mostly wore medals themselves, scurried around, The only uniform in the room was worn by the personage behind the chair. He was in vivid scarlet and was the House of Lords toastmaster, The toastmaster was once a Sergeant- Major in the Dragoons. The feasting over, Lord Jellicoe pro- posed the toast to the Royal family, Then followed the Prince of Wales, who proposed the guests of the even- ing. The Prince said: "I feel probably as uncontrollable as you do, because it is not our national custom to invite men | Bishop and Lieut,-Col. G: R. ¥. : the latter two being Canadians, None spoke any length. Sergeant Spackman made a good point when, in referring to the Armistice Day poppy collection, he said $5,000,000 was aim- ed at. "We were willing to spend $30,000,000 daily on the war," he said, "so surely we can find one-sixth of this on one day of the year," Lieut. Col. Pearkes raised a sympathetic cheer when he observed that the gain- ing of a Victoria Cross usually meant that several of one's companions paid .| the price with their lives. Manchester On Thursday, October 31st, at their home, to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd McKee, the birth of a baby girl. Mr, and Mrs. R. M. Holtby, of Port Perry, were guests of Mr, and Mrs, Wm. Dobson, last Sunday. The social evening given by the to dinner in order to tell them how jcourtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dob- brave they are, But I will assume that, whatever small deed of arms, as the knights of old used to call it, stands to the credit of each one of you, you perpetrated it from motives of self-preservation, or because you happened to notice that some one on the staff was watching and admiring you. V. C. Wearers' Modesty "1 suggest this because every VLC, I have ever talked to always liked to dish up some explanation of this sort to account his peculiar conduct, whether by land or underground, for sea, by air or "There are those of us on whom the Sovereign has conferred the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, the Most Fixaltéd Ovder of the Star of India, the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, or the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, But-to-night I speak, if I may call il ¢a;-of the Most Enviable Order of the Victoria Cross, the most democratic and at the same time fhe most ex- clusive order of chivalry. "Tt is not the status; because it takes least heed of social rank or exclusive because it is the simple insignia of all the honors which a grateful country can bestow, and gives the right of entry to what is generally considered the most select corps in the world, . It is recruited from that very limited circle of men who see what is needed and do it at once at eheir. own peril, and, done it, shut up like is a-wise democratic having an oyster, This provision of nature; for if the man who did things talked half as much as--the --men--who know how ought to be done, life would not be worth living. Gentlemen, you are recipients of an things honor which can be won only'in time of war, and there is no wise man to- day who, having learned what war means, not pray it may never again In hig lifetime. But the fact only enhances the value of the Victoria Cross, for it is a certificate, a ymbol of the possession of 1 which, though war calls them forth, are really the foundations of peace; the qualities of a cool head and an undaunted heart, a fearless disre- gard of self--all those quaklties sum- med up in the brief legend engraved on the Cross itself. "And if any man thinks that 'Valor' is. only called forth, in fighting our enemies on the actual field of battle, he must, I think, have a very distorted and mean view of life. "Glad as I am to be with you, and to have the privilege of proposing this toast, there is one thought that must be in our minds; namely, that many of our contemporaries who might have does come those qualitic } been with us lost their lives in the very act of valor- which won them the Victoria Cross, or have died since. May I, on behalf of all of us, express this message to the friends of those men-~that we, remembering them, honor. their memory.
