chosen and the whole locality still remembers how well it went over so that repeat per formances were called for locally while calls from outside made a pioneer peoples and the results will be startling and this marked move ment is being speeded up by the recent war displacements of popu lations and yet each of these commun ities had their local interest and social gettogethers in no part of the township is this more noticeable than in the audley neighborhood our pioneer families had their church activities their little red school house gathering and literary societies their wood paring build ing and quilting bees while the national political contests often un did the good fraternal spirit fostered i by these local agencies the old grange in the seventies and eighties contributed much in the neighborhood spirit for it was of no secret politics following that the patrons of industry provided local groups that embraced every body in its social rounds of meet ings each of these activities num bored sometimes as many a4 a hun dred people at a monthly gathering here the advent of the motor car at the beginning of the century was a disorganizing influence on local society these country people who in their rugged individualism began to move farther afield for their amusements surprise parties sleigh ing parties and wedding annivers aries absorbed restless energies until the first great war broke out after it several years were needed to get down to smooth running again it was just at this time that a few people at a choir practice in the little frame church at audley look ed around for a more abundant life a piano was needed how to get it was the query at one friday prae- tution and proceeded at once to put vfjjj spoke n niv tho vin rwmr i ml s b

it was nojj l j ed puck- trouble to purchase a piano for the ml ka walker of p perry church and the presentation of it to the church was the first of the many acts of service a printed constitution was drawn up and a declaration of policy made to which every member bad to sub scribe when entering procedure was to be on parliamentary rules all actions of the club were to rest on purely democratic lines which would stress individual initiative and collective contributions to the good of the vicinity thus a club that has stood longer than many neighborhoods can boast of with a wealth of accomp lish deeds and assistance of which the community is justly proud no wonder then that at a recent gathering at the home of percy and mrs neale it took the form of a wedding anniversary with its candled cake and festive finery- al though the night was conflicting with some other affairs a fairly large crowd attended about half of i he past presidents of the club were there many of these found it diffi cult to think on their feet before they got the training of society but who on this occasion made credit able remarks and contributed to the review of the twenty years of ser vice dick winters

the junior farmers movement in brooklin called upon the members too assist these young people by assisting them in sending samples of the soils of their fields for analysis so as to make the work of agriculture less hazardous the district representative f m camp bell bsa sent his regrets at not being able to be there it was recounted that the activi ties of the club have not been limit ed to sending flowers to the sick or assistance to unfortunate ones but have been in the nature of influencing legislation by the local township by the federal authori ties whose acts are always the re sults of opinions and demands from the people it is true that some mistakes have been made only a dead man makes no mistakes selfishness personal ambitions pleasure seeking and cliques can ruin any aggregation of citizens and the club has always had the foresight to curl any such things before they wrecked its gootl name back on the seas again the growing canadian pacific fleet of fast cargo
