Holmes JListowel under the capable leadership of George King and David Donahue, both of Teeswater. One never knows when he may have to swim to save himself or someone else in distress in the water, and I think the boys and girls owe a great deal to these men who have taught them. Thursday afternoons were always enjoyed at the pool too—I might add, rain or shine, hot or cold. It seemed that Mondays and Thursdays just couldn’t be warm this year, but child ren's spirits are not easily dampened and with heated water we always seemed to have fun. The regular morning program for the younger group included coloring, active and quiet games, simple crafts, singing, dancing and story-telling. Varied Afternoon Program We were able to have a more ied afternoon program, usually sisting of crafts, singing, volley or softball, dancing, etc. Tuesday usually meant as a nature hike, wiener scavenger hunt — lots of that night! frequently where Vic boys and Thursday meant swimmini days were taken up games, relays, singing, dancin; little artificial respiration and water safety instruction. A highlight of the summer’s pro gram was a Penny Carnival, which, although held on a cool, rainy day, attracted many a penny-wise little customer. Frances Currie had fun wrapping about 1,000 pennies that night. Boys’ and Girls’ Program The summer wound up on Friday, August 13th, with a program given by the boys and girls for the enjoy ment of parents and friends. Our master of ceremonies for the evening was the chairman of the recreation council, Mr. W, B. Conron. Swimming instructions were carried on until August 27th. Beginners had their tests on Monday, August 23rd; juniors, intermediates and seniors had their tests on Friday, August 27th. Our cheerful and tolerant bus driver who listened to many a boisterous song and lots of noisy chatter on the Teeswater road was Mr. A. D. Smith, of Bluevale. We, the playground supervisors, wish to thank the recreation council for their fine support. We also want to thank those who gave us free In the second game of the round robin series between Wingham Bat tery and Moorefield, held on Monday night, the Moorefield nine ran rough shod over the locals, after three local men were knocked The score was 18-4.

For New Hamburg it was Lully Miller who pitched all the way, giv ing up 5 runs on 5 hits. Forler did the catching for New Hamburg, At the end of seven innings of play the score was tied at 2-2, and in the bottom half of the eighth New Ham burg scored two runs when it started to rain. The side was not retired, so it meant that if the game was rained out the score would revert to the seventh inning, at which time it was tied. However, the rain stopped and New Hamburg was retired. In the top of the ninth Freddy Templeman got on base with an er ror, then Lorne Gardner got a nice single. Came the blow that broke the camel’s back, when Johnny Crewson got a homer into centre field, to put the locals one run ahead. In the last of the ninth the New Hamburg side was retired with a man left on first. In a game between the Battery and Blyth on Wednesday, the game was called on account of rain in the top of the fourth. The Battery was lead ing 4-1.
