As Host to the County Coun- cil, County Officials 'and Their Wives and Friends in Tour of County Yester- day MANY PLACES OF INTEREST VISITED Climax Was Reached With Warden's Dinner Held at Cannington Last Night, With the Citizens of the Village Joining in Doing Honor to the Host of the Day An occasion unique in the his- tory of the county of Ontario was thoroughly enjoyed yesterday by a large party of its outstanding cit- izens, when Warden Dobson acted as host to the county councillors and officails and their wives and friends in an Ontario county day which took the form of a picnic outing, in which the party made a complete tour of the outsanding points in the county. The day was ideal for the purpose, and from the time the party started off from Whitby at nine o'clock in the morning until it closed its fes- tivities at Cannington at a late hour last night, there was instruc- tion, entertainment and pleasure for all who were privileged to take part in it. The genial warden, Adam Dobson, the reeve of Can- ningiyn, made a thoughful ana kindly host and left nothing un- done to give his guests for the day an outing such as has seldom been equalled. The idea of taking the county fathers and officials to sev the chief points of interest in the county, over roads and bridges which have figured largely in county council deliberations, was a happy one and every member of the party expressed gratitude to the warden for a day of unalloyed enjoyment, The trip Included vis- its to the famous Atherley bridve, to the water power development at Wasdale Falls, to the Indian preservation at Rama, and at'the beautiful Couchiching Park at Or- illia, a' picnic lunch being served at the latter place. All the way along the route, wherever stops were made, the party which in- creased in size as the day wort on, the warden and his guests were welcomed, keen interest being shown in the progress of the pro- cession which was headed by Coun- ty Engineer Keen in an automo- bile, with a large bus containing the main party and a long string of automoWiles following. Climax of the Day The climax was reached at Can- nington; where the guests were entertained at dinner by the war- den, whie the. band of the On- tarlo Regiment, from Oshawa played outside on the street. Then followed a splendid band concert in the Canington Park, with a few speeches by prominent county fath- ers, and at the close of the pro- gram there, although the main party returned to Whitby, tne voung people of the community en- joyed dancing on the main street of the beautiful and progressive village of Canning ton. It was a memorable occasion for all who took part in it. and Warden Dob- son was warmly congratulated on the enterprise and forethought which brought about an event of this kind. All of the members of the On- tario County council, with many ex-members, and most of the county officials, were included in the party which enjoyed tne war- den's hospitality. In addition, scores of other prominent citizens of the county joined in the parade, and stayed with it until the fes- tivities at Cannington concluded. Start at Whitby The first party left Whitby at nine o'clock in a large bus, with Engineer Keen's car leading, and the warden seated beside the bus driver as commander-in-chief. On the way north on the highway; other members of the council were picked up at Brooklin and Man- chester, but the first heal stop was at Port Perry.* Inspired, perhaps, by the news that the council had decided to pave the orad from Port Rerry t oManchester, the party was given a splendid welcome at Port Perry. The band turned out and played for the visitors, and gifts of chocolates for the ladies and ci- gars for the men were handed in- to the bus by Reeve Somerville. Here a few cars were added to the procession, and the party continu- ed on its way. At Uxbridge Continuing out the Epsom-Ux- bridge road, so as to show the councillors an dothers the widen ing work being done on it the pro- cession crossed country to Ux- bridge. Reeve Malcolm Forsythe of Pickering township, took over the .role of oficial guide, and in his genial and informative man- ner, pointed out the places of in- terest. laying special stress on vare (Continued on Paze 5) A Sc SN 4 TRA AAI a Be A lA Sl VAN
