EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY. AUG. 17, 1916
Our Corner,
The Canadian `vest during the past
week has experienced weather pretty-
close to the frost line. There ..has
bem a remarkable change here also.
It has been. quite cool for a few clays.
Several refreshing showers have fallen
also. and the change from the dry and
:hots. ell for six weeks was welcome,
IOW's
—a—o•-x--
The man on foot should remember
to cross the street on the Crossing
end he. has the fright of evny on that
crossing. No fool behind a motor
wheel has a right to say, "Get out of
the way or I'll knock you down',
Between t the crossing the motorist has
the nigh of way. Of course it is not
wise to stand ion a, crossing and get
knocked down, but tnevertbeless it is
your privilege to walk on that cross -
.1g and the car must stop if necessary
to let you pass.
The annual bowling tourney is the
best annual advertisement Exeter has
—not even 'excepting the Great Fair.
The club has spent much money in
perfecting their greens. Many of the
people of town, and country see and
eltjov the sport without charge. And
yet the membershp is not as large
ae it ought to be, and the council
soaks the club to the last cent for
taxes tend water --making it not easy:
to finance the club. tiffany other men
.Ili town should be members of the
club and the council should also make
a grant either in money or in lessen-
ing the taxes.

The Exeter Bowling Tournament
last neck proved a great success.
Forty rinks entered and there were
no defaults. The weather was ideal.
The eleven greens used are the
best in. Ontario, and that was the
expressed opinion of many of the
visitors who have play ed on many
greens. The greens were as keen as
is is possible to snake them and the
pial was fast and interesting.
As will be wen by the scores fol-
lowing the three Trophies ,vent to
London rinks, two fairly won and one
by datault, owing, to ellness in the op-
posing rank, while Seeforth,Exeter and
