Dawson, exâ€"warden, and Warâ€" denâ€"F. B. Osborne were pitchers for the councillors, with Art Welstead beâ€" hind the plate. This combination, however, was not strong enough to beat the team work of Messrs. Lockâ€" hart and Graves. Last, but not least, on the proâ€" gramme was the stellar softball match between the county councillors and the visitors, a match in which the visiâ€" tors came out at the head of the list by a large margin. Mayor N. J. M. Lockhart, in fine campaign form, pitched a great game to catcher E. C. Graves, retiring after three innings on his own request to give Fred Parkâ€" er, former Reeve of Grantham, a chance on the mound. The Mayor alâ€" lowed few hits and only one run, Deputy Reeve Peter Graham of North Grimsby scoring the only run for the councillors, a homer at that. Mr. Graham was the first man at bat the‘ opening of the game and on the secâ€" ond ball thrown sent a homer far intoJ left field. Under 5, Elizabeth Osborne, Donâ€" ald.

This conâ€" test was closed to all except married women, it being deemed unfair to have the single ladies practising at this early date. The pin, provided by Reeve Chas. Ansell, of Port Dalhousie, a bachelor, had one handle smashed in the contest. THANKSGIVING DAYâ€"OCT. 24th The sports programme, under the capable direction of exâ€"Warden J. R.

Ideal picnic weather and a jovial ‘crowd combined Thursday to bring :success to the eleventh annual Linâ€" coln County Council picnic, held for the third successive year at Lakeside Park, Port Dalhousie. A sumptuous â€"picnic dinner and a lively sports proâ€" :gramme also had their share in the events which marked the day as one' «of the outstanding social functions of "the season. The members of the county council, officials, staff, families and friends :gathered at the Lakeside Port during the late morning hours and at the ‘moon hour partook of a most delicious «dinner, in reality a banquet, topped soff with ice cream and cake, the latâ€" ‘ter including a special anniversary cake made by Bob Douglas, well ‘known Port Dalhousie baker.

LINCOLN COUNTY COUNCIL PICNIC Fiftieth Year _ At the same time the Premier anâ€" nounced an amusement tax would be imposed on admission to the grand stand performance and most midway attractions at the Canadian National Exhibition. General admission to the grounds and to the Art gallery, dog show and cat show all will be exempt. The cabinet, the Premier said, will pass an order in council exempting from amusement tax tickets of adâ€" mission for all children 16 years and under. . Removal of the amusement tax on children‘s tickets was announced ofâ€" ficially this week by Premier Hepâ€" burn. In supervising the camp, Father McCowell is ably assisted by his curâ€" ate, Rev. Father Kelly, two seminarâ€" ians, Robert Jordan and Florence Isabelle, and by Edward Finan, a stuâ€" dent of St. Michael‘s college. These assistants look after the whole camp, run the store, arrange the amuseâ€" ments and so forth. TAX ON CHILDREN‘S Rev. Father McoCwell deserves credit for the great success of this camp, which is situated nine miles east of the city. A great deal of the actual building work, your corresâ€" pondent was informed, was done by himself, in addition to tree planting and road building. There has not been a fatality or a serious accident of any kind at the camp since it, was opened in 1924. 3.' The Holy Family camp, on the lake 0; shore near Winona, now in its twelfth .| season, is one of the finest camps for â€"| a considerable distance east of Hamâ€" 6| ilton. The idea of having this camp for his parishioners was originated by â€"| Rev. Father J. S. McCowell, of Hamilâ€" , | ton, in 1923. He purchased farm land r| consisting of seven acres and with a , | lake frontage of 220 yards and imâ€" â€"| mediately commenced erection of cotâ€" . | tages so that the camp was ready for J opening in 1924. He set out thousands _f'of trees on the land for shade purâ€" | poses and rows of poplars now line the grounds. There are 11 cottages on | the grounds owned by the camp and | used for rental to church members; also eight privately owned summer | homes. > In addition to these cottages there is a pavilion, used for dancing, picnics in wet weather, card games, etc., and also used as an auxiliary to the chapel for mass; a chapel, which | is a separate building, but built at the rear of the pavilion and with conmectâ€" ing doors to that building:" a. z;@m i ing Staation';&:;iarate cottage â€"for | the use of Father McCowell and his |. assistants, and a cottage for Sodality |_ girls who care to spend a weekâ€"end or | _ so at the camp. Besides these buildâ€"| ings, there are numerous tents occuâ€" 1 pied by church members. The cotâ€"| tages and camp grounds are rented to l‘ parishioners at very low rentals, in-,] cluding electricity and all furnishings. For amusements they have a baseball diamond, two tennis courts and space for horseshoe pitching. There is also boating, bathing and fishing. At preâ€"| ; sent there‘are some thirty to forty|, families holidaying there, and Whenl the usual Sunday visitors arrive there are perhaps 250 to 300 people on thel * grounds. In the evenings the campâ€" S ers enjoy concerts, dances, cardl c games, etc., and there is usually a 1], wiener roast alongthe lake shore. Thel y lake bank is 30 feet high and steps ; have been built to provide easy access| to the shore. Water for camp purâ€" t poses is filtered from the lake into a cf trench of gravel and stones, then into £ a well and pumped the 30 feet up.

These are heat cramps, heat prostration and heat stroke, says a writer in the New York Sun. The treatment of these conditions differs and, save for emergency firstâ€" aid, requires expert administration. Certain preventive measures, howâ€" ever, apply uniformly to all of them. The hazard arising from excessive temperatures may be counteracted by increased heat elimination, by lessenâ€" ing of heat production, by avoidance of exposure to heat and by the mainâ€" tenance of the body in the best possiâ€" ble condition. Preventive Measures. These préventive measures are particularly essential to those whose circulatory system (heart, lungs, arâ€" teries) and whose system of eliminaâ€" tion (kidneys) are not perfectly norâ€" One of the principal means the body utilizes for the elimination of heat is sweat. Therefore, when exâ€" posed to excessive heat, production and elimination of sweat should be favored.
