CLIFFROD'S FARM Fresh Air Home Children Are Guests of the Whitby Masons The seventy-five children, mostly girls from five to twelve years of age, who constitute the party now at the Fresh Air Home at Heydn- shore Park, Whitby, were made hap- py by a rare treat tendered to them on Wednesday afternoon and even- ing by the members of Composi's Lodge A.F. & AM. It will be a day which the children will long remem: ber, for the program included 2a twenty-five mile motor drive, races, a supper, a band concert, and a con- cluding treat. The motor procession included 18 cars, carrying the children and at- tendants. Before the ride was com menced, cach child was given a cano, with a pennant on which was the word "Whitby" in dark blue on a light blue background. With the pennants flying in the breeze the procession of cars proceeded north to Brooklin, east to Columbus, south to Oshawa, and then a detour was made to pay a brief visit at the farm 'of Lawson O. Clifford, M.P. Mr. Clifford was at home and the chil- dren were treated to cherries during the brief stay. Then the return to Heydnshore Park was made via the Base Line. At the park races for children of various ages were run, and each child, whether a winner or not, was presented with a small prize after running. Then followed supper. An abund- ance of good things was provided by the wives of the Masons, and the children were given a "spread" which Jeft them completely satisfied. The Whitby Citizens' Band gave their services for the evening, and rendered a splendid program of music on the lawn in front of the cottage, to which the children re- 'sponded by singing two delightful choruses. During the progr&ém by the band, ice cream cones and choco- late bars were served out to the youngsters, completing a day of un- usual happiness for them, Producer Is Visiting Mexico Mr. Theodore H.

Mr. Wm_ Philip, with his his wife, who was a daughter of John Werry, settled on this farm about 70 years ago. His son, Mr. Richard Philip and his wife took the farm in their turn and then his grandson Mr. Harry Philip and his wife, who now occupy this comfort- able homestead. i pi The long row of willows with a shady grass plot for parking cars, the fine field for sports and the spa- cious lawns on which the tables were arranged provided the best of ac- comodation for the large company. The tables were decorated with the beautiful ""Lady's Slipper," the ori- ginal plants having been set out in the swamp many years ago by Rev. Jos. Philip. Mr. Philip regretted his inability to be present at the re-union, as did Rev. Wm. Phil- ip, but the latter was represent- ed by his daughter, Miss Nellie Philip. Others who sent their re- grets were Mrs. J. W. Philip, Arthur, Rev. and Mrs. W. C - Washington, Bowmanville, Mr. Lewis Werry, Grand Rapids, Mich.,, and Miss Liz- zie Philip, Toronto. 'The latter is the only surviving member of her generation in the Philip family. Mrs. T. A. Wright, Blackstock, and Mrs. Geo. Vice, Oshawa, were the only re- presentatives of the original first cousins who were present. During the afternoon several plea- sant baseball games were run off, the ladies taking part as well as the men. In the evening a vote of thanks was moved to Mr. and Mrs. H. Philip, who were the host and hostess, by Mr, T. F. Wright, St. Catharines. This was seconded by Mr. J. A. Werry, Enniskillen, and heartily sub- scribed to by the spontaneous clap- ping of hands and the singing of "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows." Mr. Philip responded in a few words and his remarks were supported by his father, Mr. Richard Philip, who, with Mrs. Philip, shared in the hon- ors and toils of the day. BRITISH SPORTS Baltimore Sun: The tight little island can never be conquered ath- letically so long as its cricketers put up an impregnable defense against the timid assaults of an occasional American cricket team. It will never dawn upon Britain's custom-worship- ing minds that their athletic primacy is really in danger until some all- American cricketers win a few games at Lords. Much time must pass before Amefica can handle the willow bat expertly, but until that day comes it can scarcely be expected that Great Britain will take baseball seriously--and only when each na- tion plays the national game of the other will the real struggle begin. A SOCIAL SORE Natal Advertiser: We do not aim to appear as wishing to take sides with those who want the present evils of gambling to continue in our midst. Heaven knows it is ope of the saddest of daily sights to see the flotsam and jetsam of our town po- pulation hanging around the bucket shops from morning to night; men amd women; boys and girls; white, brown and black; all finding an un- healthy common ground in the de- generate excitements of the turf agent's office. No price ought to be too great to pay to get rid of this social sore; a sore that is going to transmit its poison--is indeed al- ready transmitting it--+to the little ones at present too young to imitate Not Much More Water Consumed In May Than June More than one hundred and twenty seven million gallons of water have been consumed by the citizens of Oshawa since January first of this year, according to the figuyes as shown by the charts at. the local pumping station, While June usual- ly shows a sudden increase in the consumption of water over the pre- ceding months of each year, this time the increase is very small over the figures of May, which may be ac- counted for by the copious rainfalls that the district has received during June, thus making it unnecessary to use garden hose to any exent. An interesting incident was un- earthed by one who was looking for thé figures regarding water pumped at Cobalt in Northern Ontario recent- ly. To his surprise it was noticed that the consumption of water dur- ing the hot summer months was far below that of the coldest months of the year. He thought this strange as no hose is needed in New Ontario in the winter time, but upon consulting the pump house engineer it was eas- fly explained. The Cobalt Town Council finds that the citizens there are more willing to pay high water rates and let their water run all the time during the cold winter than to have to pay plumbers to fix frozen pipes. The figures of the local pump house for the first six months of the year are as follows: Gallons -. 21,266,600 20,021,567 -.. 21,178,800 .. 19,878,220 -. 22,282,376 -.. 22,975,132 January ...

Hare is in re- ceipt of word for Oshawa not to send representatives to join the delega- tion representing the Hydro-Electric Power Commission and the Hydro- Municipalities of Central Ontario, which was to have gone to Ottawa to interview Hon. W. C. Kennedy, Minister of Rallways and Canals The interview has been called off. This deputation was to have been assembled in conpection with the rental the department is endeavoring to charge the Hydro for water at Raney's Falls to be delivered to the new million-dollar power plant at Campbellford, which is practically complete and ready to be operated as soon as a lease is consummated. The department has demanded a fix- ed rental of $21,000, while the com- mission desires to pay on the basis of $2 per horsepower developed. At the last meeting of the Osh- awa Town Council a letter was read from City Clerk 8. R. Armstrong of Peterboro' asking if Oshawa would be represented on the deputations as the question was ome which would affect the price of power to Central Ontario municipalities. The matter The Hydro, briefly, wants to pay for what water is used. Plans were the base example thus set them. Whitby Paper Doubts If Gov't Will Run Railway Whitby Gazette Chronicle: The movement to induce the Dominion Government to electrify the Toronto- Eastern from Bowmanville to Pick- ering, and part of the C. N. R, line so as to give electric radial service from Port Hope to Toronto, has ele- ments of merit, as regards relieving the municipalities from the individ- ual burden of financial responsibility, contemplated under the scheme last heard. There is no harm in asking, for one seldom gets what he wants without making known his desires, but it is doubtful whether the Do- minion Government, which already has its hands full of railway prob- lems, will hasten to add more to its already heavy task. Personally, we believe that if the Toronto-Eastern is ever operated it will be under Pro- vincial Hydro control, rather than Dominion. There are prominent men, however, who have held all along that the project was one for the Dominion Government to handle, since it took over the Toronto-East- ern property along with the Cana- dian Northern lines.
