PAGE TEN THE DAILY 'TIMES- GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 Fine Community Spirit Shown At 'Harmony Picnic MRS. K. R, FLETCHER t Correspondent 4 Harmony, July v--"And. everyone 'had a good time," can truthfully "be said about yesterday's picnic staged by the 'Willing Workers at the Harmony school grounds. Not 'only did the grown-ups have- fun, but the children, whose energy and 'enthusiasm lagged only at bedtime, thad a wonderful time. First of all came the races for 'the small folks, followed by a de- 'licious supper set in the shade of rthe pine trees. Then after all had 'eaten their fill a bit of community inging, led by M. Mcintyre Hood, accompanied on the pccordion by Jess Mills, put everyoné in the mood for what was to follow. And this is where the fun started. A ball game had been planned by the sports committee, using two male teams, one team being elected to dress up in women's clothing. And did they dress up and act the part? Well, those present can vouch for that. A ripple of amusement went up from the spectators as these "feminine counterparts" emerged from the building, decked out in dresses and hats of every style and color combination, The hats really fascinated the crowd, as well as the rakish angle at which they were worn. Some had bright feathers, others simply tied with bright ribbons under the chin. Then, just as the players went onto the ball field, a hula-hula dancer casually sauntered in on the scene, grass skirts waving in the breeze. Closer inspection revealed this to be none other than Perc. Allman, wearing a black wig and very little else but the swishing skirt, and do- ing a bit of shimmying here and there. The audience laughed until they were sore, and that's no exag- geration. Because another ball game was in progress, and had to be over before this second "ball game" could be started, only a couple of innings were played, but the men thorough- ly enjoyed themselves and entered into the spirit of the evening. Art Korry acted 'as referee. The "ladies" team seemed slightly at a disad- vantage, hampered as they were with skirts and hats. By this time it was almost dark and so ended the best picnic yet, which was truly a demonstration of a real commun- ity get-together. Following is a list of the races and other sports events and the winners. One novelty race, which drew forth much merriment, was a "Hat Design" race, in which the men were given paper and pins, and a few minutes in which to make a hat, Some of the resulting hats were quite "chic."

Centennial Big Success Thorah and districts for many miles around gathered in Beaverton on Saturday last for the celebration of the Township's 100th birthday. Per- fect weather for the event brought out a crowd numbering several thousand in size, The official ceremonies for the day were under the charge of Town- ship Reeve T. R, Harrison, who acted as Chairman. The official ad- dress was given by J. R. Hale, for- mer news editor of The Packet and Times, and General J. A. Gunn was in charge of the flag-raising. Addresses were also made by Col- onel, the Hon. G. A. Welch, M.P.P. for the district, the Rev. Dr. Best, Fred Clayton, a former long-term Thorah Reeve, and others. The cairn which was unveiled as part of the ceremony is built of stones donated . by families long resident in the Township and each stone has the family initials chisel- led into it. The cairn also contains a piece of the stone monument erected to the memory of the first white child born in the township. One of the niost interesting fea- tures of the Jay was the display of historical documents which was held in the drill shed. The display included original Crown Grants, family photographs of pioneer fam- ilies, the agreement made in 1868 between Thorah and the railway, by which the township receives an annual grant of money, and the cabinet brought from Scotland in 1830 and used to store township documents by the first clerk-trea- surer, the greai-grandfather of T. R. Harrison, the present Reeve, A visitors' register was placed near the exhibit and signed by a large number of visitors. a horse-racing meet was held un- der the auspices of the Agricultural Society. Flood Relief (Continued from page 1) the fund wish to express to Oshawa Times-Gazette deep appreciation for all that you have done to assist in enabling the fund to reach its objective. They also ask that you convey deep appreciation to your citi- zens who have contributed so generously and to those who have worked so diligently in local efforts which will enable the fund to achieve its objective. Expenses Light "Contributors will be interested in knowing that the fund has operated entirely with volun- tary help and that the expenses in raising the fund have been less than one half of one percent of the amount collected. The gifts 2 the fund have been so great in number that the accounting staff have fallen behind in issuing receipts. . Voluntary helpers are working day and night in an effort to issue receipts as early as possible but there will be some de- lay and the public is asked to bear with the honorary treasurer of the fund in this connection. Individual receipts will be issued covering all contributions received. "In drawing the campaign to a close would you be good enough to request that the committee operat- ing in your area forward funds col- lected as soon as possible after July 15. This may be done without cost through any chartered bank. Rehabilitation Progressing "As a result of the action of the government in compensating flood victims for cost of structural re- pairs and the generous contributions made by the public to the Manitooa Flood Relief Fund, coupled with the steps being taken to guard against a recurrence of the flood. Rehabili- tation has progressed so rapidly that normal business 'activity has been restored to this area. The re- storation of some six thousand houses damaged by flood waters is progressing with dispatch and will be completed within a few weeks. The flood victims will long remem- ber the generous response which will enable the Manitoba Flood Re- lief Fund to again make their houses into homes." Art Display (Continued from page 3) the free help of the artists, firms and individuals who_helped in the formation of the show a "tremend- ous" expense would have resulted. "Never was there a better op- portunity to swell the fund than by purchasing a painting," Ross explained. He emphasized that those who did attend the exhibition offered opinions that such a show should be held annually but "not one sug- gested how this could be brought about. If the people of Oshawa believe that a flood will occur yearly for ey convenience to attend a ree a show the, mistaken." . y Bo say Acti Lin of Artists Iiists who had work on displ included Steve Liskowski and or Agg, of Whitby; Mrs. Lwart Mec- Laughlin, Mrs. L.

George Shreve, Public Utilities Manager, said today that the aim of the P.U.C. throughout its history has been, with regard to the water system, "to Just keep one step ahead of demand." To that end a new electric line has been laid to the pump house which has brought into use two pumps instead of one with a corresponding increase in the amoupt of water to be sent up into the city. In addition the installa- tion of a diesel engine to pump water for the cooling system at the pump house has made possible the pumping of an additional 250 gal- lons a minute up to the city by other equipment. Matter For Speculation Just what will happen when the city annexes part of Fast Whitby Township is a matter for specula- tion for members and officials of the Commission. If the number of water users in the city does not suddenly increase it is likely that the system will be able to cope with it as it is supplying a good many township consumers at the present time, However, if there is a sudden increase in the number of appli- cants, the water pressure in some parts of the city, particularly in the north end, may not be very strong. At the present time the P.U.C. has authorized the construction of a new Street and this addition to the city's electrical system should prove tem. sub 'station south of Blood | a boon to the water pumping sys- | | WILL TOUR CANADIAN TRAIN- | Ontario Junior Farmers Fifth At English Show Oxford, England, July 6 (CP).-- Four Junior Farmers from Ontario placed fifth yesterday in an In- ternational Dairy Cattle Judging Competition at the Royal\Agricul- | tural Show here.
