the hole for a trimming Its the first defeat of the season A smashing eightrun second frame sent the Merchants careen ing into an early lead Dig gers nibble away at this margin and bust out with seven in the fifth to pull within two of a tie But Merchants not to be denied spurred ahead again to stay with tworun sixth and threerun seventh Power hitters in the Merchants camp were Jack Andrews Don and Paul Knowles This trio teed off against Mick Suttons hurling for home runs Paul Tom Brodie and Jimmy Murray got in some damaging short lick hits Bob was the Diggers long ball hitter with a triple and double Harold Stephenson Stan and Earl ald got in the other solid blows for the losers Harold Mouse chucked a stout game to earn the pitching decision Merchants Pound Bring on the Specialty bring on the Triple Sevens Thats what Andy Closs of the Aurora Merchants was saying last week The reason is the fact that his Merchants of the Aurora Town circuit took Ray Smiths SportsCycle shopmen apart in an exhibition game at the Aurora town park Thursday The game proved beyond a sha dow of a doubt the basement dwellers in the Aurora circuit are head and shoulders above their counterparts in the local diggings The Merchants put sling in their attack over three frames The third was the big one as they chased over eight runs then four in the fourth and five in the fifth to hang the crepe for the The Sportsmen carved out two runs in the third and picked up singles in the fourth and sixth Hit leaders for the Merchants were Paul Knowles Don and Frank Edmunds with three- hit marks against Ted Taylors

the Aurora Park Monday in an inter- town league exhibition game The win salved the wounds re ceived when the Clossmen knock ed the tar out of Ray Smiths SportsCycle Shopmen Hank VanZants third hit in the eighth was the blow that killed the Clossmen To this point the Merchants were making a strong run of it holding the everhot Pressmen to a slim advantage Then added his big spoke a homer to build

most recent trip to Black Lake district but ran out of space time and to be very truthful the inclination to work more on that depressingly hot afternoon So here we are again setting forth on the 80mile trip to As yet we havent decided on a suitable name The echoes are very clear at the lot with the cliffs of bare rock opposite the cottage site Behind our properly the land sweeps up to a towering height from which one has a wonderful view of miles of rock trees and water If the climb wasnt breathtaking in the ascent the view upon arriving there cer tainly is It is upon a level plateaulike ledge about above the lake level that we plan to build the cottage so perhaps it will be come known as Echo Ledge or Echo Ridge but then we might go back to the many happy sum- Social News

error fielding from his mates to put away Town Atomics It was the first shutout re corded in the town league this season The win enabled mans to scramble up into undis puted possession of second place

in the split with a pair each Xray pictures to test metals can be taken at a speed of per mors we spent in the Bras country of Cape Breton and call it by the appropriate Gaelic name or Ben No doubt before next summer when we plan to build the cot tage a name will have affixed itself to the spot Perhaps after we carry lumber nails and other building materials as well as the regular provisions and camping supplies up this winding path the name we decide upon will be uncomplimentary to both the lo cation and our desire to build there Despite the rain on the July first trip it was made with the least physical exertion of any of our trips to date It resolved in merely climbing from the car into the boat and letting the trusty outboard motor propel us down the river across the lake to our special point Of course there was the necessity of trans ferring not only ourselves but all the equipment required for taking an infant a small boy and several adults into the great open spaces if only for one day The river is only about a half- mile in length but the channel which one must follow winds and bends its way over a much long er distance A beaver dam had to be crossed Lining the borders of the tiny river were waxy white and yellow water lilies and the poplars on the banks seemed evertremulous in the faint breeze Graceful white birches and stands of ancient pines lent additional color tone to the constantly changing but everrugged shoreline It is possible to lake the car into the lake which means only a distance of a few hundred feet must be travelled by boat to lot 28A the Ions choice Old resi dents of the district had inform ed us that it was possible to reach our lot on foot but that it was very rough country That was the of April the month when we attempted to make the journey At the very beginning I must say that we succeeded in reach ing the lot by the overland ap proach and what at the time ap peared more incredulous was that we actually found our way back to the car The round trip took only slightly over five hours of steady walking Per haps it would be more correct to call it climbing sliding crawling stumbling and slipping for there was very little of the way where one could walk un concernedly We passed delightful little streams gurgling through the rocks surprisingly heavy water falls no doubt swollen to these dimensions by the spring rains We climbed very steep rocky in clines only to come shortly upon another ravine which meant an other rocky climb downward Pheasants flew from the bush upon our approach and a porcu pine played possum in a tree one which no doubt later will bring his relatives and friends to our cottage for many an appetizing meal of two by fours To date we have made the trip to the cottage site across the frozen lake surface with the young lad on toboggan on foot overland by canoe as the first trip last fall was made and by outboard motor The latter will undoubtedly be the most frequent means of transportation to the spot but of course there is al ways sea piano and helicopter KING FAMILY MEETS AT ALBERT PARK The annual King family picnic was held at Mount Albert park recently with present Mrs John King won the bean guess Eddie King was the oldest pres ent and the child of Mrs Wilfred Sedore the youngest Mr and Mrs Herb Jordan travelled the longest distance from Rochester and Mr and Mrs Wilmot King had the largest family pres ent Mr Sam Ryan won the treasure hunt There were games and races and Earl Kellington was the win ner of the marked cup Mrs Dora King was reappoint ed president for the reunion for which she gave appropriate thanks The same committee members are to see about the ice cream and the games next year when the picnic will be held again at Mount Albert park at the same time A vote of thanks was taken for the use of the Mount Albert park and facilities Norwegian miles are seven times as long as the Canadian mile YOUNG Barry seven years old is now a cured bedwetter Before Barry was registered at camp his mother made certain that the staff knew that Barry had to be awakened in the mid dle of the night and directed to the bathroom This wasnt an unusual proced ure in the particular camp to which Barry was going for two weeks holiday Among the campers there were five who re quired this attention After Barry had been at camp a week his parents visited and were especially delighted to learn from the councillor that Barry had adjusted favorably to camp life In conversation with Bar ry they learned that no one had bothered to awaken him at night and he had had no accidents Barry explained I just say I can wait till morning and no one bothers me Mornings come earlier at camp you know They make some of the boys get up anyway because their parents in sist Nov of all insistent parents Barrys mother thought she had been as insistent as was pos sible As things turned out she jokingly thanked the councillor in charge for having ignored her request Then the investigation began since the councillor assur ed her that no requests were ever ignored The investigation revealed that another lad Barry by name was awakened each night This Bar ry had been somewhat surprised the first night but just took the matter as part of camp routine after that Mistakes such as this are very uncommon However in this in stance both are to be left undisturbed in their sleep the last The Kettleby branch held a successful afternoon tea baking and apron sale at the home of Mrs John Scott on June 27 when they realized about S145 from their efforts Then on July 18 they held their annual picnic at the home of Mrs J just south of the village Mr Connover is the sheriff of Toronto The sporls and lunch committee consisting of Mrs Mrs Burns and Mrs
