A picture taken near the end of June and since then, if you would caré to pass by the Scout Hall, you will notice [ that the roof has been completed and the walls sheeted, in readiness for the log siding. We are indeed. quite pleased with the construction schedule so far, of Prot gress 'on Scout Hall Addition Well Under Way « 'Because of the generous support of | community organizations, individual citizens and business establishments, the new addition to the Scout Hall is well on its way towards completion. We were fortunate in receiving of- fers from various community minded groups, The basement was excavated by Mr. Norman Mairs and to him we are grateful in getting our building under way. The building blocks were offered on a non-profit scheme by Mr. Sam. Griffin; All the limber dealers and other building contruction people have supplied materials at a con- siderably reduced mark-up; The Tripp Construction Company have assisted us in the installation of the steel beams as well as moving our camp equipment to ifs new site. Then the shingles necessary to cover the new addition have all been supplied by a very liberal donor who wishes to re- main anonymous. For the electrical construction we have also received a very generous offer from Mr. Gordon Robertson who has kindly consented to wire the new addition. To these peo- ple and to many others who have of- fered to assist we express our sincere thanks.

This is Mr. Allin Dowson who accepted the responsibility of supervising the the entire construction problem, ably as- sisted by Mr. Ben Pickard. To say that this is a time consuming task is' an understatement for there is con- siderable thought, -preparation and planning needed in such an operation. Mr. Dowson has done an excellent job and is certainly to be highly commend- ed, While the construction project has been under way we have also had the kind offer of a new camp site from Mr, Roy Scott of Seagrave. Mr. Stanley Ploughman has been the man instru- mental in getting this new site in suit- able order for our boys and girls, Thanks indeed go to Mr. Ploughman for taking charge of this responsibili- ty. "The Mmhe has had to gravelled; the buildings erected; fence gates made, a source of drinking water found and other odd jobs completed: Mr. Ploughman has taken this load off the building committee's hands, We are' still some $1,600 short of our objective however, to fully com- plete the building, If you feel you could assist us further financially at the present time or:lend us a hand in - insulating or sheeting the interior in the early fall we would greatly appre- ciate it.

Child Drowns Near Caesarea Little Gordon Morin, 2 year old son of Louis Philip Morin of Ganna St. Toronto, wandered away from the summer cottage at Cedar Crescent Beach, just west of Caesarea about 11.30 last Thursday morning. About three quarters of an hour later he was found by Ronald Stacey, 12 years old, in the shallow. water not far from the cottage, Although artificial respiration was started at once; and the inhalator rushed from the Port Perry Hospital as soon as they were notified, it was found impossible to revive the child. Mr. Guy Raines, Mr. H. Gibson and Myr. Chas. Lown of Port Perry Fire Brigade rushed the inhalator to Cac- saren as soon as word was received but there was no way of knowing how long the child had been in the water, and apparently there was some delay in calling for the inhalator. In any case in spite of two hours work the child failed to respond and was pro- nounced dead by Dr. MacArthur of Blackstock. Sgt. Frances Dryden of the Bow- Po- lice--investigated the accident. Mr. and Mrs. Morin have four other young children. To Attend Luncheon For Princess Margaret The Hon. Dr. Matt B.

Recent Bride Entertained POPULAR BRIDE-TO-BE IS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED PRE-NUPTIAL PARTIES Al Miss Kent Gerrow who is to be mar- ried this coming Saturday in the Port Perry United Church has been enter- tained at several social gatherings in her honour. Miss Barbara Love, before leaving for Western Canada, entertained at the home of her mother, Mrs. Clifford Love in honour of the bride-to-be at a miscellaneous shower. A' large number of friends and relatives gath- ered together on this happy occasion to extend best wishes and Kent was the recipient of miiny useful gifts. The Ladies' Teaching Staff of Nor- way Public School held a Kitchen shower at the home of Mrs. Kingstone, in Toronto, Division Commissioner Joan Godley and Licutenant Jeanne Goode of the local Guide Organization entertained at the home of Mrs. Goode in honour of a former Guider, the bride-elect, at a miscellaneous shower. About thirty-five guests were present, among which were several of Kent's associ- ates in guide work. Mrs. Walter Sheridan (nee Lola Gerrow) held a kitchen shower in hon- our of her cousin, Miss Kent Gerrow, at her home in Don Mills, Toronto. A lovely evening was enjoyed and many gifts were presented to the bride- to- be. A_miscellaneous Shower was held at the home of Mrs. Robert Farndale, in Oshawa on June 14th. Several rela- tives from Port Perry attended. Mrs. George Samells' home was an attractive setting for the miscellan- eous shower which was held by her daughter Jean, on Saturday, June 28, in honour of Miss Kent Gerrow, to commemorate her approaching mar- riage. Approximately thirty-five guests gathered to extend best wishes and present the happy bride-to-be with many useful gifts. On arrival of the honoured guest, who was completely taken by surprise, Donna Samells, co-hostess, played the traditional "Here Comes the Bride" and Kent was escorted to the seat of honour under a bower of wedding bells with a rainbow coloured umbrella forming a perfect background and presented with a beautiful corsage of roses by the hostess. The bride-to-be looked radiant gown- ed in daffodil yellow and expressed her pleasure in having the oppor tunity to see so many of her 'friends and neighbours. She was assisted in un- wrapping the pretty gifts by Bernice Dowson, Jean Samells and her cousin Mrs. Walter Sheridan. The hostess, Miss Jean Samells served a delicious luncheon with the assistance of her mother and sister, and at the conclusion, Miss Gerrow in her charming manner thanked each and everyone for their kindness and extended a warm welcome tp all to visit her in her new home at Burling- ton. Keen interest and enjoyment 'were "displayed by the guests when the bride-to-be and her hostess, Jean entertained with several piano duets of popular musical numbers.

Farmers are advised to have their animals innoculated early, as a périod of time is needed for the innoculation to become effective. Children's pets should also be done. It is much simpler to have the pets treated than to have to treat the child after it has been bitten. Even the most®loving of dogs can turn on its friends if it is suffer- ing from the disease. It may not even be necessary to be bitten by the animal the saliva may cause infection. So it is best to take the precautions early. If youghave childten who are likely to be about where animals are, wild or tame, it might be best to warn them about the symptoms and "the danger. Small children especially should be taught to avoid the over friendly rabbit, ground hog or fox. If a dead animal is found it should be buried deep enough that it will not be dragged out by some other animal. Should anyone be bitten by an animal suspected of rabies you should con- tact the Department of Agriculture at Bowmanville at once. The same applies if you are quite sure that one of the domestic animals has been at- tacked by a rabid animal. If you should kill an animal that seems to have rabies, but has not attacked any one or animal, then it should be well buried.
