Rusk, in the ab- sence of Works Chairman Lowe, replied that the work was at last concluded, The teams were still at other work, which led Ald. Clark to remark that they were to have been dispensed with when the clean-up was finished. His query about a' motor truck brought no response. 31 Cases in Two Months Chief King reported 27. con- vietions and 4 dismissals during the past two months, as follows: Assault O.T.A, 4, trespass 3, traffic bylaw {short weight coal 4, carrying conkealed weapons 4, mischief (sée, code 539) 8, rid- ing on sidewalks 2, theft t, dis- charging firearms 2, Motor Ve- hicles Act 2, Inland Revenue Act 4,-- a total of 31 cases.

Luke 4:43, To empha- size his text, Mr. Douglas 'said that in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the indi- viduality of the writers was most striking, but in Luke the two great elements of prayer and praise were preeminent, Today we need personality, not Snly in the preacher, but in every individ- ual member of the Christian Chureh, The plan of salvation is made easy by St. Luke in his story of the prodigal's return.

Buildings all had a pecul- iar slant and horses looked like tiny Pomeranian dogs.

I thought we were guing very slow and that if was all for my bene- fit to drink in the beauty of the scenes helow. Then the signal came for the stunts, Was I ready ? I shook my head vigorously in assent, I was out for thrills--and I got (lem. I grasped my belt to dis- pose of the offending hands at last. The engine had been shut of and a great calm prevailed be- fore the swoop. For a fraction vf a minute 1 lost all sense of sigh! and sound as the machine turned completely over. As it righted itself and I found myself all intact, my eyes got quickly back to business again. Then we teok the nose-dive, dropping between 700 and 800 feet. That it landed | strapped seeurely in with a wide, was gelling somewhere in a hur- ry. 'The nose-dive is easier to describe than the looping. Ev- orvone knows the effect a deseont in-an elevator has. Well it's like that only more so, and it is oh so quiet. As the greater part of the ileseont was consumed in that Ihrilling nose-dive, the rest was a gradual glide down that path- legs journey through -- space, Buildings took on a familiar look onee more and all too soon the home-field hove in sight and the big bird gracefully swung into place. For the remainder of that ay and the next the purr of the 'engine made me long anew to be ef again from this mundane sphere, And to think it took war and untold sacrifice to give us this means of travel wilh all ils pos- |sibilities, One could not go up without feeling how entirely feas- ible and practical aviation is and we are proud of our men who have stuck to it and made it a though the stunts are a 'up in the air" for most of T wish to ex- press my very hearty thanks to Mr, Coll and to The Examiner making it possible for me to narrate the above "airy tale" which a month ago would have seemed a "fairy tale' to me. Should Mr. Colley return to Bar- rie at some future time, as it is hoped and expected he will, he will, no doubt, find many people eager to test the delights and |thrills of aerial navigation under his exceedingly capable, careful and courteous guidance. Changes In P. 8. Teaching Staff At a special meeting last Fri- day night, the Board of Education filled the vacancies on the Public Schools staff caused by resigna- tions and made several changes in a re-arrangement mainly due to the larger number of classes which now may be accommodat- ed in the West Ward. The new teachers appointed are Miss Nora DeHart, Miss Marguerite Banting and Miss Eleanor Channen, all of Barrie. In the Central, Miss Booth is moved up to the Junior Fourth and Miss Marshall succeeds her in the Senior Third. Miss Nixon is transferred from Senior Prim- ary to Junior Third, and Miss DeHart takes the class taught last year by Miss Nixon. Includ- ing the Kindergarten, there are ten classes in this school with an estimated attendance of 335. The West Ward will open with eleven classes. Miss Henry will take the Junior Fourth, Miss Banting the Senior Third, Miss Channen the Junior Third and Miss Guest remains in Senior Second. Miss Morrison, who has been absent for a year, will re- sume her place in charge of the Junior Second, and Miss Hum- phreys, who has been acting as substitute for her, will take the Senior First, Miss Dougall to teach the Junior First. Miss Sproule, who was teaching a Junior Primary class in the King Block. will have charge of the new Kindergarten in the West Ward, while the two Primary rooms will be presided over by Miss Sarjeant and Miss Reid, In the Burton Ave, School, the vacancy due to Miss Meston's res4 ignation will be filled by Miss Wice, transferred from the West Ward. --Pictures framed to order at Dougi Bros. 2itt IVY WON OUT AT KILLARNEY Beat Cookstown 6 to'3 in the Final -- Six Ball Teams Competed. _ lhe baseball tournament at Killarney Beach on Dominion Day attracted six teams and the five matches kept the fans inter- ested til the shades of evening were falling.
