Others who Ilene gert, hale, Mrs. Local Group Laud Excellent Roads Miss Lorraine Preszcator, Miss Joyce Chambers, Mr. Paul Field and Mr. iLorne Preszcator spent the past weekend touring the Ontario northland, visiting points as far north as Timmins. The group marvelled at the excellent roads and the well-kept road­ sides despite the fact that much of the area was scantily populat­ ed and the farmlands were poor quality. They felt it would certainly a great credit to the people such a well-developed area ours if we too take a bit of terest in our roadsides. What a disappointment southwestern On­ tario’s "weed beds” must be to the Northern Ontario visitors. Surely with our level country and so few monstrous rocks to contend with, we can do an even better job. Be proud of your prosperity.Blyth Entertains Legion Auxiliary Twenty members of the Exe­ ter Branch of the Ladies Auxil­ iary to the Canadian Legion were entertained at a social evening by the Blyth Branch in the Legion hall there, ■A sing song and musical pro­ gram were followed by a novelty bingo.

Slashed FRIENDSHIP ENDS AT THE PIANO BENCH — Rocky the terrier is on the losing side of his daily battle with his friend Rickey the coon every time Rickey tries to show his skill at the piano in the home of Walter Vinet of Morrisburg, Ont. Rickey, who romps by the hour with Rocky, considers the piano his personal property, even if he can’t play a note, so when Rocky tries to muscle in, the fur flies—and all of it is terrier’ fur. Rickey was adopted by the family—including the dog—when it was found a week old and orphaned. —C.P.C. Playground Patter By DOUG SMITH A veil of secrecy was thrown; Marg. Howie; best hat made of around the playground last week. ’ The storm clouds gathered over the* weekend and everything broke loose oil Monday morning. No, not the A-bomb but mystery week on the playground—every day something new — something different and only a few knew what was coming each day. When the children assembled for their announcements in the morning, then and only then would they learn what pleasant event or events were in store for them that afternoon. Started off regular classes in the morning and then Monday afternoon got into the‘swing of things by having a flower show. We fervently hope no gardens were raided, but regardless of where the flowers came from, it was a terrific show. Prize list: best arrangement, H. Jones; most beautiful bou­ quet, H. Jones; largest flower, D. Cooper; smallest flower, S. Walper; best wild flower ar­ rangement, Rita A-n d e r s o n; flower with greatest variety of colors, Linda, Walper. This was followed by a snap­ shot contest, so if. you missed any of your prized photographs, you know where they were. The millinery experts cain_e into their own on Wednesday when we put on a hat show. Wow what creations! Prize list: largest hat, D. Ryck­ man; best original creation, cloth, D. Ryckman; fanciest hat, E. Cochrane; prettiest hat, S. Dinney; smallest hat, B. Jenkes. An intermission—while bags of peanuts were suspended from limbes of trees, "it” was blind­ folded, twirled around, and tried to knock the peanuts from the limb with the aid of a staff. When successful, a mad dash and pile-up ensued. Yes, a peanut scramble was fun. If baby sister cried all after­ noon, perhaps there was reason, for -where the older boys got the dolls is "the mystery mysteries”. However fun by all in the doll show. Dolls prize-list: best E. Ward; largest, S. smallest, D. Brydges; most origi­ nal, M. Anderson; curliest hair, Marg. Howie; doll with most hair, S. Dinney. Thursday was an enjoyable surprise—films.

EXETER makes the following practical suggestions: 1: Hang all screen doors to open outward and equip them with efficient door closers and convenient push-pull catches. 2:U s e sixteen-mesh-to-the-inch screen on all doors and windows. 3: Screen open cisterns, cover cesspools, septic tanks and rain barrels. 4: See that water does not accumulate and lie about in tin cans, eavestrough and street gut­ ters. 5: Empty bird baths and chic­ ken watering pans at least once every week. G: Stock ornamental backyard pools with gold fish and top minnows. 7: Spread manure thinly on fields and lawns to prevent flies’ breeding; and store manure in fly-tight boxes or pits, as well as treating it with borax, calcium cyanide or super-phosphate. ■8: Use residual sprays that will stick to screens, porches, garbage cans, etc. 9: Use fly traps, fly papers, poisons, fly electrocution devices, swatters, and space sprays or aerosol bombs zealously (and keep them locked away out of the children's reach). 1: Use insect repellents on skin and clothing. the Batten Family Enjoys Reunion The .first reunion of the Batten family took the form of a picnic at Riverview Park, Exeter, on Sunday, August 16.
