Notes and Comments The Royal Game In 1842 Victoria and her Prince Consort "visited 'Scotland and were for the first time instructed in the niceties of the grand It was always up to that time called the grand game, On that visit the Royal couple played the game on the polished floor of the drawing room of Scone Palace. Just where curling origin-- ated is a matter of some mystery. How- ever, Scotland more than any other country has been responsible for the spread and the development of the game. The mother- club to-day is the Royal Caledonian Curl- ing Club which was formed in 1838, The number of clubs in the world to-day runs -- The actual game is really, bowls played on ice. - Each side has four players each playing two stones. When all stones have been delivered ithe players + cross over, the scores are counted, and the game proceeds from the other end of the rink. Some devotees have described eurl.. ing as the greatest team game in the world. They claim there:is no game which more depends upon co-operation of your fellow team-mates than curling. 'Ny Whatever can be said for or against the game there is no doubt thatiits popularity in Canada 'is rapidly growing.

FOX ROAMS MAIN STREET OF ORONO Last week a fox, thought to be at Frenchman's Bay. Mr. James McKeen has purchased the property of Fred Scott on the east side of the bay. At present he is located in Toronto. Plans call for a cement block building to be construct- ed on the property which is 304 feet by 160 feet. Mr. McKeen informed the Township Planning Board last week that they intend to build motor boats, and will eventully employ fifty people. Mr. Scott, who is well-known in this district, has operated a boat liv- ery at the Bay for the past 32 years. made an order that Mrs. Vitanoff cease opposition to the expropriation order. The department is expropriat- ing her four-acre property and two houses because of a relocation of Highway 12. Her home is on the west side of "the highway, on Goforgh's Creek, about midway between Whitby and Brooklin. The bridge over the ereck is undergoing reconstruction and when completed, the west boundary of the structure will be about 20 feet from her front door. During the tea hour, the hostess was assisted by Mrs. Durham and Willa Holtby in serving ice cream and cake. Added pleasure was experien- ced, when we learned that this was the eighteenth wedding anniversary of Burnsell and Marion, so Congratu- lations and Best Wishes were exten- ded to the happy couple.

Is such a viewer merely making smug- statements from a -pedestal, or has he honestly tried to appre- ciate the film on its own terms, to assess intelligently its faults and its good points, to evaluate it on a basis of what it has attempted to say, and to what degree it _has succeeded in that attempt? © Every year has its excellent movies, and its inexcusable ones.

It is a campaign that should have the real. support of every individual, but the fact. that such a campaign .is necessary shows that it does not and will not have such, universal support. We recommend it, therefore, to al! other clubs and organizations. A helping hand and 'perhaps some pub- licity in the various house organs and literature of clubs, companies, societies and organizations might over the years train us as a nation to be more tidy-minded. We note, for example, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists has supported the scheme in its FON News. - One of the freedoms in the public mind seems to be to chuck paper or luncheends or cigarette boxes or beer bottles wherever the hand happens to be when the are finished with them.

"Children are different from adults and the present road system, organ- ization of traffic, ete, is mainly de- signed for adults. It is important therefore to betermine in what way children 'are specially exposed to risk in order that, if pdssible,steps may be taken to lessen these risks." --~Canadian Statesman Of Many Things by Ambrose Hills - RECESSION OR SHAKE DOWN? To the man out of work, we are Laviig a recession. - To the ordinary man, what is happening 'is a shake- down brought on by union demands. Union leaders deliberately preach nonsense, They say they ask bigger wages to increase purchasing power. They know higher wages means higher prices--putting more men out of work, because consumers refuse to buy. There is plenty of purchasing power who have union jobs make very good nmeney; but this doesn't help the man laid off. I've been saying for 'the past five years that the unions, if they persist boosting wages without: working hard- er, would bring on a recession. That time has come, 'At lease 80 of the blame for the present situation ean be placed on the shoulders of union dead- ers in the United States. And when they have a recession down there, we suffer teo, Fartunately, rank and file workers in Canada see the truth. No longer do they believe everything union lead- ers say. Soon union members will demand more voice in what leaders do: Soon there will pe secret balloting in vwnions. Soon Canadian workers will insist that Canadian union fees stay here in Canada, and that Union de- cisions be made here. The union move- ment is due for a shake-down, and the leaders have brought it upon them- selves. Naturally, this does not apply to all unions. As a result, their, memebrs are still at work, making reasonably good pay, because the prices of the products they turn out are competitive,.and consum- ers still buy them. If the automotive workers and a few others had used Some have shown good sense. ~ AT BEAVERTON T. Braunton Co.

At Prospect we had a male Choir, and for: the Summer months Joanne Mosienko is our Pianist. The men sang "Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling". The congregation 'remained after the Ser- vice to attend to certain matters. The heating of the Church:is a prob- lem and we are thinking of install- ing -a furance. Prospect Anniversary will be on.
