Mr. Butt spoke briefly on the progress of Christianity throughout the world. Hymn "Salvation and Immortal' praise to our victorious King" was sung, followed by prayer by Mr. Butt. Mrs. R. H.

In a hotly contested game featur- ed by light hitting, the Leafs downed the Grenadiers 8-6. The Gorrie sol- dier's started off well in the early in- nings but couldn't stand prosperity. The southern clan waged an up -hill fightand won a well-deserved victory. A feature of the game was Earl Ton- er's attempt to stretch a 3 -base hit into a homer, Bob Harrison blocking flim from the plate. Maple Leafs 13, Cyclones 6. Harvey Sparling's troup continued its winning ways by setting back the 9th concession Cyclones 13-6 in the final game of the first round. The Cy- clones were minus their captain, L. Ashton, and the players did not res- pond with the same dash and spirit as in the Tiger contest a week prev- ious. Clarence Sparling and the Wat- son brothers hurled a fine sample of ball. Horne runs by Sid. Creek and Albert Philips featured the game, while Everett Sparling, Irving Toner and Manfred Irwin gave a fine field- ing display. Tigers 15, Grenadiers 8. Grenadiers absorbed a second de- feat at the hands of the Anglicans and. are now launched in the cellar posi- tion of the league. As in former gam. - es the Grenadiers started like a house on fere, but too many misses in the field showed where their weakness lay, George King was leading scorer with 4 runs, while Leland Ashton cov- ered the plate 3 times. Those scoring twice were E. .Hutt, Dick Jones, L, Short, .H, King and J. Musgrove. At the close of the contest, Rev. R. S. Jones, Tiger third -baseman, made a sporting announcementcement to the play- ers on his team, that as he gave his best, support to his ball teats, he hop- ed his teats would reciprocate and attend Sunday church services, a pro, position: which `to all fair-minded peo- AUXILIARY HEAR FINE LECTURE The Gorrie Evening Auxiliary met at the homy of Mrs. E. W. Carson on Monday evening with a larger number than usual. .The program un- der the theme of "Service" was one of interest. The guest speaker, Miss Young, who until a few years ago was employed as Deaconess in Montreal, and whose work was in connection with the "Old Breweries' Mission". Beginning with the drastic housing conditions of that city, the speaker continued in her pleasing manner, giv- ing word pictures of the mission which has beds for 300 men, its orig- inality, the dinner served on Christ- mas to some 600 men, also the work with the woman of the Mission and too, of the Girls' Club of 85 members which was a work carried on, more or less, under the supervision of the speaker. She told of their work and gave instances of their life, before and following their connection with the club. Other items of interest in the pro- gram were: a short address given by Mrs. A. A. Taylor on the "Service and its Meaning", a solo "Thine for Serv- ice" by Miss Evelyn Stephens; piano solo by Miss Eleanore Carson who al- so gave the 100th Psalm from mem- ory as the Scripture reading. A committee for the possibility of forming a C.G:LT. was arranged and will report at an early date. Many beautifulverses were repeat- ed containing the word "service" for roll call. The meeting closed with the hymn "The day Thou gayest, Lord, is end- end" and prayer by the guest speaker. WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING (By R. J. Deachman) I long agoreached the conclusion that the old time political meeting was a joke: It placed far too mtuch emphasis on thespeaker and far too little on the audience. It assumed ar d that that audiences knew nothing, a ul then who spoke upon the political platform knew everything; a perfect- ly ridiculous assumption.. It assumed also, an equally preposterotts concept, that there is a definite answer to 'ev- ery question. There is not. Years agoo Lord Morley remarked that it was a simple matter to do right if we knew what was right. There are problems before the people to -day :in wliitli de- cision is extremely s npuMw»u• ."4YW Atte RECEPTION FOR AUTO -BOAT DRIVER Jacob Boulig, German sportsman, as he arrived off English coast after crossing France, in his amphibian automobile. the channel from Calais,. solutions can conte only from careful study and free, discussion. The more we eliininate partizanship froin these discussions, the better it will; be for all concerned. Lately I have been addressin`meet- ings in North Huron. Never'have I seen audiences more willing to,disouss their public issues=more reaonable. in their viewpoint—more filled with the desire to find the truth. They want to know the fact—only by ,rea- soning from known facts can sound conclusions be reached. During these meetings the follow-^ ing problems have been discussed: Unemployment, Debts,. Railways, Markets. The one most interesting to the fanner is markets. Provide ready markets for the farmer at steady pric es and the other. problems adjust themselves. If this problem can be solved it will , carry with it the solu- tion to almost every ,other Canadian problem.. Among the questions I have been asked are the following; "What has been the average- debt increase during the past five years?" "How much has unemployment cost the federal government since 1930?" "How many are unemployed?" "What was the deficit of the C.N.R. during the last three years?" "Should the railways be amalga- mated?" (a frequent:. question). "Has increased use of 'machinery caused unemployment?" "What percentage of total Canad- ian production is exported?" "Will the Marketing Act help the farther?" "What about the balance of trade?" "Can we afford to trade with coun- tries of lower standards of living?" "Have the Empire Agreements helped the farrier?" "What proportion of our farm pro- ducts go to the United Kingdom, the United States, and Other countries?" "How can we compete with low- wage countries?" "How are we to solve the problem of markets for farm products?" "Will lower tariffs mean lower wages?" "How can we get lower taxation?" "Why don't we sell our wheat?" "Do you believe in inflation?" "Will a central bank help financial conditions?" "Why did Great Britain abandon free trade?" "Did. the Price Spread probe do any good?" "Will the Farmers' Debt Adjust- ment Act help the Canadian farther?" "blow are we to get lower interest rates?" These questions are, I take it, proof of a keen interest in public affairs, ' an indication of a willingness to in- quire, a desire to study and under- stand the fundamental !problems be- fore the Canadian people, and above all, proof of the fact that the Cana- dian people are taking a keener in- terest than ever before in economic problems, COUNTY COUNCIL JUNE SESSION (Continued Three. d fr m o Page poises and further, the Department of Edu'cation also refuses payment, we recommend that the expenses in tines - tion be paid by the county: Carried.
