The week of August 1st was soft- ball week here, and every day girl’s and. boy’s teams were seen in exhi bition games on the ball diamond to the rear of the .Casino. The first game was played by Melbourne Grads against Ilderton on Monday, Civic Holiday, A high wind was blowing, which made it anything but ideal for softball- Hdwever, a large’ crowd attended and in spite of the disagreeable weather the game was enjoyed by all. Ilderton defeated Melbourne and won the Silver Trophy donated by the management. On Wednesday Melbourne played the Wells Business Academy of London, winners of the first half of the London ladies’ league. This team was perfect in every way and their team-work as a whole could hardly be^beaten. The game ended in a victory' for Wells Academy. On Friday, once again Melbourne play ed Ailsa Craig -in their last game of the week and were successful, but not without a real hard fight, Both teams were playing- fine ball and it was just nip and tuck, and nothing was definite until the final inning was over as to who Was the victor. The game finished with a 3 to 2 score in Melbourne’s favor. The boy’s teams also were playing every night and it looks as if the running for first place in the league was go ing to be no mean race.—The Mel bourne Grads softball team have been spending their holiday at the Bend for the past week. With boat ing, swimming, fishing, dancing and softball, the girls have been having the time of their lives. They have played four exhibition games in their short sojourn here and have won two of them. Never has the Bend had a nicer crowd of girls, both on and pff the diamond. Their will ingness to play and the way they did play, won a great many friends for them. Where they did not win all the games, they showed Grand Bend just what good sports they were as they tackled two of the best teams in Western Ontario.

As this was not an award drain or any water flowing from the .streets across this property, the council could not take action, but they ad vised Mr. Follick and Mr. Beaver to interview Mr. Soldan, who would no doubt, give them relief- Constable Hudson stated that the church shed Mid no lights and thought that lights should be installed so he would have a better idea what was going on there at night. Considerable dis cussion took place between Reeve Geiger and Councillor Cameron as to the ownership of the shed. Coun cillor Cameron Claimed that accord ing to their deed of the church, they were given unobstructed use of the church shed, Councillor Higgins claimed that as the shed was built with the intention of giving« the public the use of it, it would be better to have the shed transferred to the council, to be used as a com munity shed and the council would see that it was properly lit and un der police supervision. The matter was left over for future considera tion. Reeve Geiger notified the council that he had received word from County Engineer Patterson stating that the road running east from Hensall would probably be taken ovei’ by the " ' ed the Reeve to one for foreman, that he had sent Ezra Willard for cillor Higgins said that he had in terviewed the Ross-Taylor Co-, of Exeter, as to the cost of a new water tank’ $or one of the wagons, and had taken the wagon to Exeter it would be finished shortly.

The matter of painting the fence at the baseball grounds and building a new memorial gate at the park was taken up and discussed, but owing to the lateness of the season and the ur gent need of saving the funds of the village for this year, it was decided to postpone any more expense at the ball grounds for this year. Reeve Geiger gave an account of the hydro meeting Monday night and spoke of the big refund the council and con sumers of the village were receiv ing from the local hydro commis sion. Councillor Higgins gave .notice that he Would at the next meeting take up the matter of better light ing of the business section of Main street. He stated that for $72.00 a' year another row run up the north or for $48.00 a could be doubled but gave notice that he would dis cuss the matter, at the next meeting. The clerk promised to have the esti mates ready so that the tax rate could be set at the next meeting. The Reeve notified the council that the school board had purchased an acre more ground from the Mc Ewan property at the west side of the school for play ground purposes. Councillors Higgins and Cameron put up a vigorous protest to the Reeve about the condition 6f the London Road through the village, and especially the block between King St. ‘ and South Richmond St. The County Council who have charge t~ L.at ioad, have allowed it to be come a- menace to the public. Mr. Higgins stated that when the county was charging us two mills for county road purposes he naturally thought that our roads would at least be kept in a passable condition- Higgins asked that a motion be sed instructing the Reeve to the matter up immediately Engineer Patterson to have some of the worst holes at least fnieci up with gravel.

Is it fair to yourself if your own weeds are scattering their seeds all over your land? The weed scourge is costing Ontario $5,000,000 a year. A share of this money should beinyourpocket!

OIL FIRM SAYS RECKLESS DRIVING MUST STOP No more timely effort has come to the notice of this department in recent years than the advertising campaign being launched by the British American Oil Co., Limited, of Toronto. This company has pre pared a series of advertisements to be run in the Canadian press invit ing the attention of drivers of cars and" pedestrians alike to the rapidly amounting number of so-called mo tor accidents on the streets and high ways of Canada, most of which it is claimed could be obiviated by the mere observance of common sense rules. Conditions today are such that much of the real pleasure of motoring is lost. A man driving is in constant fear of the other fellow and when the car.is entrusted to any other member of the family the need for worry is still greater. Some thing' had to be done to improve driving conditions. Apparently it remained for this public spirited or ganization to make the start. ——* AXUtf | hear about the 1 i s—“Two Poles were mafr- A TALL MATCH Heshe—“Lid you 1 wooden wedding?0 Shehe—-“I’ll bite.° Heshe- fried?' a' ! *v 14; M, > <n TVroDoor 8edan With New Plush Trimming and Luxurious Interior Appointments NO other six in the world provides, at Pontiac price, the style, luxury and safety of fine Fisher-built bodies—the smooth, satisfying per formance of a powerful six-cylinder engine devel- • oped by General Motors engineers and proved on the General Motors Proving Grounds—and a remarkable combination of quality features includ ing new plush trimming and luxurious interior appointments.
