Penwarden, Centralia Huron County Council Hold Picnic The members of the Huron Co. Council with their families spent an enjoyable afternoon on Wednesday of last week when the annual picnic was held in Harbour Park. It was a fine get-together, when the cares ■of county legislation were forgotten and social intercourse was enjoyed. Delightful trips on the lake, games and a program of races were fea­ tures of entertainment provided. Supper was served on long tables .■bountifully spread with good things in the pavilion, at which Warden J. M. Eckart presided. Among tlhe guests present during the afternoon were W. H. Golding, M.P. for Huron-Perth, and R. J.* Deachman, M.P. for North Huron; ex-warden Alex Young, W. '.Sweit­ zer and George Elliott. Grace was said by Rev. Dr. J. H. Barnett, Pres­ ident of Huron County Children’s Aid Society. The committee in charge of ar­ rangements was composed o£ Reeve R. E. Turner, Goderich; County Clerk J. M. Roberts, Treas­ urer A. H. Erskine, H. T. Edwards and Reeves Fred Davidson, Wing­ ham and Shaddick, Hensail. After supper Warden Eckert ex­ pressed lis pleasure in the large at­ tendance. I-Ie spoke of Huron County as being a leader in production. He was proud of the fact that Huron always paid her way, "and the worst of it is, we are helping to pay for defaulting municipalities—much of it their own fault.” he said. Alex (Sandy) Young, when pre­ sented by the warden with the prize for being the oldest gentleman pres­ ent, said he was "85 years young.” He entered the County Council in 189 3, the youngest man elected and continued ’until 1896 when the change was made to representation by commission. He described brief­ ly the .changes made in the method of electing the warden. At first wardens were picked by the strong­ est political party. "For fo’ur years the Grits were in,” said Mr. Young, "and the other fellows felt pretty sore about it,” then the present sys­ tem was inaugurated. He missed his chums of 1893. Wililam Baillie, genial former reeve of Colborne, also 85, a few months younger than Mr. Young, was glad "to rub shoulders with his former associates, and expressed his appreciation of the invitation. Another Veteran Owen Geiger was greeted with expectancy as the veteran former reeve of Hensail rose to speak. He, too, is in the octogenarian class. He had fought for the reeveship cover­ ing a period of 31 y'ears, during which time success and defeat had come to him. He twitted the coun­ cil on the reforestation trip to Nor­ folk. "Our forefathers didn’t need to maike such trips; they went out and got tihe trees and planted them without anjp frills,” he said, amidst laughter. Warden Eckert retorted, "If our forefathers had foresight in refor­ estation we should not have the dust and windstorms so prevalet today.” Mr. Eckert, also spoke of the deaths of the former county treasur­ er, William Lane, of Goderich, Dr. Milne, of Blyth, and ex-Warden Ro­ bert Livingstone, extending sym­ pathy to the bereaved families, and to ex-Reeve Isaac Wright of Turn­ berry, in the passing of ihis wife. ■Other speakers were Reeve Tur­ near, of Goderich and W. H. Gold­ ing, M.P., who spoke briefly. (The oldest lady present was Mrs. Owen Geiger, of Hensail, and the youngest child was Isabel Feagan, 4, daughter of Reeve George and Mrs. Feagan, of Colborne. The mys­ tery prize was won by Mrs. W. D. Sanders. Results of Races The races resulted as follows: Boys six and under, Chas.

TAKE SOME OF THE CHANCE OUT OF LIVING Do you every buy a sweepstake ticket? You don’t always expect to lose, do you? But you know you might. Do you ever take an occo- sional chance in traffic, either driv­ ing or walking? You NEVER ex­ pect to lose, do you? But you might for you are ELEVEN TIMES as likely to be killed or injured in an automobile accident this year as the holder of a sweepstake ticket is to y in even a small prize. You are THIRTY-TWO TIMES as likely to lose your life as the holder of a sweepstakes ticket is to win a major prize. When you gamble in lotter­ ies your stake is a few dollars at most, but when you gamble in traf­ fic YOU BET YOUR LIFE. Wheth­ er you are a motorist or a pedes­ trian "TRY COURTESY” all the time, and take some of the chance out of living. Dull, Aching Pains In Back Always Draggy and Tired Mrs. James Falland, Breadalbane, P.E.I., writes: —had dull, aching pains in my back and always felt draggy and tired. saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and de­ cided to try a box. When I had finished taking it I found they were helping1 me, so I continued until I, had used three boxos. t,i will highly recommend them to all women who have dull, aching pains in the back, or who feel tired and loggyJ’ A product of Tho T, Milbum Co,, Ltd,, Toronto, Ont, Goderich Boys’ Camp (iGoderich' Star) There is no merrier and no> busier spot around iGoderich than the Bum­ mer iSchool camp overlooking Lake Huron where Big Chief, Rev. J. F. Anderson, of Wingham, .has forty seven boys in .camp, the most of them about eleven or twelve years of age—the age when they may be spoken of an half angel, half animal To say the least, Mr. Anderson is making a success of this camp and, best of all, the boys think it is "swell” from the reveille blast at 7 in the morning until the camp fire on the beach dies down, and tired, 'happy youngsters seek their respec- tiv bunks in the cabins. How Mr. Anderson, and Mrs. Thorneloe, manageress of the kit- are going to feed them six days, and three meals a day, on three dol­ lars a week, is like the peace that passeth all understanding. For it is known, actually, that one boy had nine soda biscuits to his tomato soup and another lad had seven helpings of pudding at one dessert. But the chief and the cook are bound to feed them. 1 Camp Staff There are boys ‘from Toronto; Mr. Brown, the minister, brought five boys from Hamilton; Brussels, Bea- forth, Clinton, Blyt'h, Holmesville, Embro, Exeter and Dungannon are other places from which boys have come. The staff of the school is: Rev. Mr. Anderson, chief, wlio is bank manager, general director, first-aid doctor, canteen and candy proprietor, and expert ‘counsellor and guide. The Rev. A, W. Brown is camp adviser and helper in morn­ ing" watch and vesper devotions, leader in New Testament study stories, and teller of Missionary "Heroes stories, In addition he is editor of The Daily Echo, the camp daily paper which is read nightly” at the camp-fire. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown, of Wingham, are teachers of basket-making, which is very pleasing and attractive to many of the boys, some of whom are doing nice work with the willow reeds. One boy'—he must have Irish blood in him, said he was going to work all day at his basket to get it complet­ ed if it took all night. Stanley Smith, Murray Moore and Robert Southcott, of Exeter, are older boys who render fine leadership service.' The first-named has a icornet, whicn is a musical asset to the camp. It wakes the boys up to the activities of the day and sounds the "lights out” blast at night. In entertain­ ment periods it sends forth many a merry tune, Murray Moore teaches campcraft and Bob iSouthcott init­ iates each boy into, 'flag signalling. If anybody’ doubts that boys can­ not enjoy, and behave in, divine worship, let him see these boys line up at the cabins in their three groups and march reverent.y to the bluff overlooking the lake, which is named by the big chief, "The iSac- red Spot,” as the cornet plays some sacred tune. Then with quietness and reverence Scripture is read, hymns are sung, and a talk on some sacred theme is given by one of the leaders suitable to the age and .apprehen­ sion of the hearers. The writer has attended four of these services and there has not been the slightest oc­ casion to call anybody to order. Rival Tribes The boys are’ divided into three tribes, the Mohawks, the Mic-Macs and the Iroquis; each tribe occupy­ ing its respective cabin under a chief (an elder boy) and its own petty chief ( a boy elected 'from the group.) In the dining-hall the Mo­ hawk tribe has its own table, and so on. Each boy takes his turn at being an orderly in and about the cabins, serving at the table, and do­ ing kitchen service. Credits are given for everything that is done by and for the trijbe, when in a group trying to accomplish something in neatness and orderliness in and about the camp; in the appearance of and serving at tables; in general behavior in gatherings; in the way they get up in the morning and how they retire at night. And of course the athletic scores on the campus are chalked up. Just at the point of writing the Iroquois have a fair lead of the rest, though they are closely and keenly contested on all lines by the Mohawks and Mic-MacS. The boys have no time or reason to get homesick; they are too healthy occupied. There is fun find frolic, sports and craftsmanship, en­ tertainment and teaching, swim­ ming and eats, and, of course, the novelty of sleeping in bunks in airy cabins, oi* taking mattresses and. blankets on to the campus or sands and slumbering under the stars. The best of weather has favored the camp so far, though Monday ev­ ening was quite cool and some were wishing they hpd brought an extra blanket. It was visitors’ day on Wednesday and quite a number of parents and friends availed themselves of this privilege. The musical instruments of the camp consist of a cornet, a mouth­ organ, two violins and an accordian. A number of treble, unbroken voices and some of the bass viol kind make up a large vocal chorus The camp closed on Saturday noon and a troop'of boy# went home with happiest memories of summer's best week yet.

A lady was visited by the pastor of the church with which she had been associated. Bluntly she gave the information that she had not much use for the church any mor^ that she could heai* better sermons over the radio and that was all she needed. A short time later, the lady’s husband died. She didn’t ask the C.F.R.B. announcer to help her in her sorrow, She sent for the pastor she a sihort time before had felt she didn’t need, asked to have a funeral service conducted in the church, desired the choir to attend and that a soloist be provided foi’ the event. This is an actual oc­ currence. It is frequently repeated Give nothing to tho/xsupport of the church, let others bear the burden, but when trouble comes call upon its ministers for the consolation of religion refused or neglected in times of health and prosperity. Many are doing just this thing. It’s not fair. But is seldom or never re­ fused.—The Brampton Conservator FALL FROM TREE The Harris brothers, Rud and Sonny, sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. F.

On Tuesday of last week one of the colonies sent out a swarm to find a new home for them­ selves. The bees did not confirm to usual custom and cluster on some low bush or branch but hign- hatted their owners and chose a high-up limb of a tall tree. Now a swarm of bees of the size of this one is worth a good ten dollars and the boys were not content to lose them, so taking a flour sack along they climbed the tree intending to shake bhe bees into the sack and bring them down. Standing on a branch below the bees one held the sack open while the other assayed to shake the bees into it. Things, however, did not work out to schedule, for the branch on which they stood broke and down tumbled boys, bag and bees, but of the latter only a few. The boys had a bad jolt and were for a short spell unconscious. Mr, Gibbings rendered first aid and took them to hospital in his car, where it was found that Bud had a broken wrist and Sonny severe bruises and wrenched ligaments.
