Paragus.) AST autumn James Edgeworth 40f Toronto, (also of Edgeworth Park, Norfolk, where he is in- dulging the hobby of honoring pion- eers and other prominent people with memorial trees), had occas- ion to take a relative to Listowel to visit her grandson. Said the grandson to Mr. Edgeworth: "Uncle Jim, I'd like to take you across the road to meet a neighbor of mine. He has a hobby, too, though a different one from you.' The new hobbyist proved to be a druggist about eighty-four years old and was introduced as a Mr. Livingstone. "Livingstone," repeated Mr. Edge- wood genially, "that name sounds good to me. I've always been a great admirer of the African mis- sionary of that name." Adding, by way of making conversation, You don't happen to be any relation of his, do you?" "Tm his nephew," replied the Scotchman, "Like fun you are!" laughed the skeptical Ontarioan, thinking he was expected to see a joke. - But the Listowel citizen, grave- ly evidencing his sincerity: "I've got a note in my scrap-book at home." chanced Mr. Edgeworth, "about a nephew that David Liv- ingstone was admonishing in a letter concerning his bad hand- writing." "I'm that nephew," again prompt- ly affirmed the druggist. And went and got the original letter written by his uncle, the explorer, and showed it to his guest! After this, the two hobbyists set- tled down for a good visit. Mr. Livingstone's hobby was martins, Now martins, though friendly birds who love to establish their colonies near human domiciles, are finicky about the places they select for this purpose. Mr. Livingstone had induced his first pair of martins to come to him by putting a small cage on a pole fifty-feet high--ab- solutely out of range of earthly fears and pests. As the colony increased in num- bers and confidence their accom- modation was enlarged and low- ered until now Mr. Livingstone en- joys two hundred of his bird friends at a comfortable and neighborly distance. unexpectedly However, discussion of hobbies, interesting as these were, kept giv- ing way to the fascinating subject of David Livingstone. Great as was my conception of this hero," says Mr. Edgeworth, "until that day I had never real- ized how deep and universal is the love of the Empire for this noblest hero of Africa. he son of Mr. Livingstone of Listowel, during the war, upon obtaining a leave of ab- sence from France, naturally made his way over to Blantyre to have a look around at scenes familiar to the boyhood of his noted kinsman. "So thorough and particular was posteards which he designed that the dealer in souvenirs finally sending to his father back home, ventured to ask if by any chance he might be related to the hero, "I happen to be a grand nep- hew," replied the soldier. dealer, 'you will not be getting out of Blantyre the night.' "And neither he did. Word got circulated about and the Canadian guest was feted and feasted in Blantyre's best style. 'And let me tell you,' said the dealer in the ear of the grand nephew of the great missionary, "'that on your return you_are, it will be the King him- self who will be a-dinnering of you. "Needless to say the modest and forewarned Canadian did not let his identity 'get out' in London. But the incident goes to show how the heart of the whole world goes out to men of real sacrifice." During the day John Livingstone of Listowel expressed to Mr. Edge- worth his pleasure in donating a tree, as a first Canadian memorial to the memory of David Living- stone to be planted in the Edge- worth Memorial Park of Norfolk in honor of his famous uncle. And in May just past the ceremony of this planting took place amid a concourse of prominent and repre- sentative people who gathered to witness, touching event. Among those present at the cere- mony were Rev. and Mrs. Banfield, just home from thirty years spent in Africa. Mr. Banfield recalled the story of David Livingstone's life and explorations in the then Dark Africa, the 5,000-mile search at great expense conducted bythe British and American governments, and gave a graphic descripion (having seen it himself) of the spot at Ujiji where Stanley event- ually discovered the lost hero. Mr. Banfield also presented a fine pic- ture of the mango tree under which the missionary was found, to be hung on the wall of the Edgeworth log cabin. In the picture is seen the monument recently erected by the British Government to mark the place--and only just in time, for the aged tree fell in 1930. The Rev. Mr. Merryweather of Liverpool, another returned African missionary, was also present, as well as Duncan McVicar, Simcoe, a cousin of the famous David Liv- ingstone. The weather and the dis- tance, and his years, prevented the attendance of his nephew, John Livingstone, of Listowel. The tree donated by him was a Norway maple. : Those participating in the plant- ing were: Mrs. W. R. Crowe, of Guelph, the Dominion President of the W. M. S. of the United Church of Canada; Mrs. Peter Nicol, of Simcoe, (representing the Presby- terian Missions); Mrs. (Ex-Mayor) Robert Gunton, of Simcoe, (Bap- tist); Rev. and Mrs. Banfield, Rev. Merryweather, Duncan McvVicar, Mrs. Johnson, Toronto; Rev. Mr. Johnson, pastor of Teeterville, and Rev. Mr. Bradshaw, chairman of the Presbytery of Norfolk. Many other clerics and promin- ent citizens were present to wit- ness the planting of this pleasing he in his search for the picture memorial. aa "If that's the case," declared the q through London, if it gets out who ™ or participate in the | THE STRATFORD MIRROR Expecting More Than ary Celebration and Old Boys' Reun- ion this summer will be the great avi- ation meet which is to take place on Saturday, July 30, the opening day of the celebration. to make this one of the greatest ev- ents ever to be staged in this district and more than fifty airplanes of ell| types are expected to visit the local airport, coming from all parts of Can- ada and the United States. during bombing contests, parachute jumping and spot landing. urday evening for the entertainment of the visiting airmen and plans are going ahead for this feature.

June 23 (By the Canadian Press)--A galaxy of track and field stars including the finest runners and jumpers 1 the province will be seen in action Saturday at the Ontario track and field championships and provin- cial Olympic _ trials. With eyes cast toward a trip to the 1932 Olympic games at Los Angeles an exceptionally strong entry list has already been received by officials in charge of the meet and keen competition is expected in all events. Practically every centre of the province is represented by some sturdy young athletes with the chief threats coming out of Western Ontario where the power- ful Hamilton Alympic Club head the list. Several of last years champions will be out to defend their crowns but it is generally conceded these will have to better their previous marks in order to keep an Ontario title. Some of the chief threats of Western Ontario come in the track events. where Arthur Scott repre- senting the Border Sities will be a competitor in the 100, 220 and 440 metre events. Freddie Shaver, sen- sational Hamilton school boy, is another of the running contingent and the broad-shouldered young- ster has high hopes of gaining a place on the Olympic squad. An- other fine sprinter is Bert Pearson, fleet-footed Hamilton lad, who won the Canadian sprinting champion- ship 'last year. Jack Potland, Collingwood high school star, is reported in excellent condition and will be after a place on the Olympic aggregation. The * long-geared Portland was a double winner at last year's Ontario cham- pionshpis annexing the running hop step and jump title along with the high jump crown.
