Sev- eral hymns were thrown on the screen and the large crowd joined in the singing, accompanied by the band. The Gypsy singers of Toronto gave several pleasing numbers and Mr. iWilliams of the group rendered two selections on the trorat)one. While the evening was very cool it was es- timated that 1,500 people attended the open air service. â-  A pleasing event on Sunday was the gathering of the Stewart clan at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sparks, jur-t north of the village. About eighty descendents of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Stewart, early settlers, were present and a splendid re-union was held. At the evening picnic supper Mr. Cfaas. McTavish, sales manager of General Motors at Oshawa presided and called on many merubers of the family for a few words on the momentous occasion. A dance was held at the commence- ment of Monday morning and full «njoyment was made of the splendid music provided. Monday morning swimming sports â- were held at the pond, and the shores â- were lines with interested spectators.

A two minute silenre of re- membrance was followed by the sing- ing of "O God Our Help in Ages Past." The National Anthem brought the evening's entertainment to a clofle. - The climax to a perfect day was the big dance on the caved tennis courts in the park when hundreds at- tended and entered into the spirit of the occasion. A mild evening and the special lighting cast an enchant- ing gleam over the hundreds watch- ing the dancing from the side lines. The picnic this year enjoyed per- fect weathpr which brought great throngs out to visit friends of years ago and to delight in their company. iWhile there were hundreds "home" for the occasion, others who usually attend were missed, but they were attending the Canadian Corps re- union being held in Toronto and as- sociating with old pals of war years.

Therefore an abundant supply of clean fresh water should be available to the growing and laying flock. Water, making up 66 per cent, of an egg, nuikes its use imperaitive tc good egg production, and also helps greatly in the assimilation of poultry feeds. Clean water is necessary not only from a sanitation standpoint, but also to help control egg flavor.
