celebrations on july 12th were fine expositions of the success of the ontario temperance act in the old days of the open bar the crowds would have been very different some of the older citi zens can remember orange celebra tions when a considerable percen tage did not live up to the high prin ciples of the order in the matter of temperance the good behavior of crowds all over this year was not able its a great life if the average newspaper man is a liar he generally lies to protect his community if a boy goes out into the world and gets into troublethe home newspaper says he was a good boy until he got away into bad com pany if the towns tightwad who hugged the pennies to his bosom in life dies the newspaper throws a mantle over him and says he hated wastefulness and that his hate for useless spending made him over- careful for his investments and his charities if the town gossip dies he carefully avoids referring to her outstanding weakness and tells how she visited the sick and afflicted and winds up by saying she was a good neighbor if the home team goes away from home and gets the daylights whipped out of them the paper tells the unsuspecting world that the team was made of second string players the editor isnt a liar from choice the truth struggles in his family breast the same as it does in the village preach er but the pride of his community makes him a trembling rabbit and he lies to save the local pride of the town still its a great life if you dont weaken trail news bills are out announcing rlch- j mond hills annual field day and i civic holiday on monday

do paul society testator instructs that her estate be divided between her two sons william james and john matthew it has been said that sport is not necessary to any place that it de grades rather than builds up the participants that it does not improve the mind the person who said these things was probably an arts profes sor in some girls school or one of those absentminded persons who put the cat to bed then threw him self out the back door did you ever hear anything else about orangeville besides the fact that they had a good lacrosse team how about forest what about the soo owen sound and many other places that have put themselves on the map through sports these towns realize that the best way to keep their town in the limelight is to make a top- notcher in sport not only that but it keeps the young blood of the town interested and attracts others it helps them get rid of a certain amount of superfluous energy that would probably be used in some way where they would not derive any be more likely an injury sport today is scientific it is organized and a team to make a showing must be organized it means that the individual player must heed his sig nals must take initiative think quickly and be a sport practice keeps him out of many pranks that he would otherwise be up to if he did not have something useful to take up his time it therefore has a tendency to make men and women out of those who participate to look at it from that standpoint to be in sport is selfish sport is the quickest and one of the most effec tive ways to get a town on the map this year bracebridge
