And appead, signed amongst others by Premier paldwin, Viscount Grey and Ram- say MacDonald, has heen issued for funds to preserve the "lonely ma- jesty'" of this gigantic prehistoric relic. Nine years ago Sir Cecil Chubb, owner of the land upon which Stonehenge stands, presented the circle of the pation, and it is now within the safe keeping of the Of- fice of Works. During the war, how- ever, the magnificent loneliness of this archaic temple was ruined by the erection in the neighborhood of military hutments. It is a curi- ous reflection that ope Government department schedules Stonehenge as an "ancient monument, apd takes it under its protection, while another Government department, leaves & number of unsightly buildings derelict within its immed- jate vicinity. One of these derelicts has been turned into a bungalow tea-room. "The solitude of should be restored" declares the appeal now published," "and precau- tions taken to ensure that our pos- terity will see it against the sky in the lonely majesty before which our ancestors have stood in awe throughout all our recorded history. "Options have just been secured for the purchase of an area of the Plain which includes the whole of what may be called the 'Stone- henge sky-line." Should the pur- chases be effected, the Air Force Buildings will be removed, further building will be prevented, and the valuable archaeological remains of the site premanently protected from the plough. The land purchased will be placed under the guardian- ship of the National Trust. "The total area under construc- tion is 1,444 acres; the sum aimed at is about £35,000." MANY Oo 8 RELIABLES WITH Kingston, Aug. 25--Little N definite- ly known as yet regarding the make-up of the Queen's University Intercolleg- iate Union senior football team, but prospects of a team well up to the mark of the past few years seem very bright. It is likely that Queen's play- ers will be requested to report for 'duty about the middle of September. "Cliff" Howard, captain, will be in early to look after the team. Harry Batstone, the old Invincible, will be the same stalwart as in the past, wil 'Gib" McKelvey on the back- field and "Liz" Walker at outside wing. "Bubs" Britton will likely fill his old position at flying wang, and wth "Hank" Brown, Agnew, "Honey" Reynolds and Nagle on the wng line, that division should be strong. ¢ It is believed that "Irish" Monohan, who, it was reported, had decided to go back to Ottawa, will return to college. "Beano" Wright, another find of last year, will be on hand for this season. In the quarterback position "lke" Sut- ton or "Bud" MacPherson should fill the shoes of Fred Baldwin, while "Unk" Durham may make good om the sec- ondary defense. Several new men are appearing on the horizon, among them Donald Mc Kay, a son of G. B. McKay, of Kitch ener, President of the OHA. y Stonehehge TESTS HEALTH WITH PIANO New York, Aug. 26.--When Ig- nace Paderewski, first president of this TO RESTORE LONELY MAJESTY OF STONFHENGE TRIOLITHS War Huts Have Spoiled Sol-| BROCKVILLE TO HOLD HORSE SHOW AT FAIR 2.

Her father as ar- rayed in the full glory of his office of Yeoman Warder--doublet of red and gold, spotless white frill with Tudor Roses; a uniform which Warders of the Tower have worn on state occasions for over 600 years. Anyone who has seen Gilbert and Sullivan's Opera 'The Yeoman of the Guard" will realize what a brave show Yeoman Warder Austen made. There was a reception at the Casemates, the quarters of the bride's parents within the Tower, and the bride cut the wedding cake with a sword which has been in the Tower for many centuries.
