Five Policemen Stage Raid A squad of five policemen created quite a stir when they breezed into town last Thursday night, passed on into Turnberry and raided an alleged goose raffle. The boys who were at­ tending this evening’s entertainment were having a real good time when the officers of the law swooped down upon them. The fun they were hav­ ing and which was so quickly inter­ rupted came to a halt when the men of law appeared and it is said that Rastas passing a cemetery did not make as good time as some of the lads who headed for town. A jack rabbit could take lessons from some of them in sprinting. With such a collection of policemen in town fol­ lowing the raid, it was thought by many that the rebel forces had been let loose and were storming the town halt but great was their relief when it was learned that the town was safe, and that all was yet quiet on a peace­ ful front. So ends the first chapter of the story of five policemen and an evening of fun that was spoiled. -exercises Eighteen delegates from Wingham attended the Autumn Conferences of the Huron .County Boys ’and Girls’ Work Boards, which were held this year at Grand Bend. Saturday morn­ ing dawned black and dismal, and with dreary persistency the chill rain pelted down, bur it didn’t prevent 100 boys and 125 girls from gathering from all over the County to the place of meeting. Assembling in the Grand Bend United Church both Conferenc­ es united in the opening worship ser­ vice in which they were led in inspir­ ing fashion by the Grand Bend Trail Rangers and C.G.I.T, Then came words of welcome from the commun­ ity, the church and the boys and girls. Rev. Chas, Cumming, Chairman of Huron Presbytery, brought greetings on behalf of the Presbytery. To all of which fitting response was made by Mary Howard of Clinton, Grand President of the Girls’ Conference, and by Alvin Corliss, also of Clinton, Grand Chief of the Boys’ Conference. Roll Call by Communities was led by Benson Suter, Grand Tally. Each delegation on rising being heartily applauded. The Conferences then di­ vided for their discussion period. The theme for discussion was “The In­ vestment of Life”. A brief address opening up the field of discussion was given in the Girls' Conference by Mrs. W. A. Gardiner, of Londesboro, and in that of the boys by Rev. H. J. Mahoney, of Brussels. Both were gripping and stimulating appeals. Di­ viding ,jnto discussion groups, each Conference dealt with the subject un­ der three phases, 1, My Capital, that which I have to invest. 2, Where and How shall invest it? 3, What Divi­ dends shall I expect? Rev. R. N. Stewart of Centralia, Rev. T. R. Turn­ er of Dungannon, and Rev. Geo. Wy­ lie of Ben Miller were the discussion leaders for the boys. For the Mrs. T. R. Turner of Mrs. W. A. Gardiner of Miss Gladys Tough, of and Miss Elva Elford, were the leaders. The Presidents of the Mrs. N. W. Trewartha of Clinton, and Rev. J. F. Anderson of Wingham, conducted a Group for leaders and potential leaders. The joint dinner hour was enlivened by yells, laughter and community singing led by Rev. C. W. D. Cosens of Clinton. The rain having made impossible the projected hike and athletic meet, everybody climbed mto the cars, and away they went, led by Mr. Southcott of Exeter, on an exploration tour of the beauty spots around the Bend. Assembling in the church again, both Conferences enjoyed an interesting address given by the Rev. J. -C. Goodfellow of Princeton, B.C., on “Over the Moun­ tains and through the Woods of Brit­ ish Columbia”. A picnic supper fol­ lowed, during which camp - reminisc­ ences, camp songs, camp yells brought back the happy days of Camp Minne­ haha and Camp Hiawatha. A delight­ ful feature was the skit “I Cure both Fat and Lean” miller C.G.T.T. the college yells given by grave and dignified ministers who should have known better. A happy day was brought to a fitting close in a beauti­ ful vesper service led by Mrs. T. R. Turner, of Dungannon, which was fol­ lowed by the lovely candle-lighting ceremony of the C.G.I.T. and the im­ pressive Fellowship Circle of the Tux,. is-Trail Rangers. Rev. J. B. Moore, pastor of the* entertaining church, dis­ missed the Conferences with the Ben­ ediction. One cannot speak too high­ ly of the care and thought expended by the Grand Bend people in the per­ fect arrangements made for both Con­ ferences. Exeter invited for the Eas­ ter Conferences next spring, and Brussels for the Autumn Conferences next fall.
