They left here at 5 a.m. Friday morning last and after travell­ ing to Boston and Fredericton, N.B., arrived back home at 1 a.m. Monday morning — 2200 niiles in 68 hours. They took t-urns in driving.

The trip was made in Murray’s 1939 DeSoto and they averaged 23 miles to the gallon of gas. They went by way of Lewiston to Boston and were in Springfield, Mass., at the supper hour the first day. From Boston they went to Fredericton, N.B., and return­ ed home by way of Quebec City, Montreal, along the St.- Lawrence on Highway No. 2 to Toronto. At Boston they took time out to write some postcards but they made such fast time that they arrived home before the cards. They surely burned up the road. The average speed was’ over 32 miles an hour and this in­ cludes all the stops, for gas, meals, and the. five hours doing business at Fredericton..

The Welfare Committee has con­ tacted parents and arranged the fol­ lowing operations: Tonsil and edenoid operations —1 12 cases. Hernia Operations — 2 cases. Teeth — 1 case. Goitre, treatment — 1 case. Minor treatments — 1 case. .One case of club foot under obser­ vation. •* One skin cancer case arranged for radium treatment at once when per­ manent cure will be effected. The local physicians have co-oper­ ated splendidly in the above work by giving of their time and services free­ ly. All expenses of hospital care, etc., have been borne from the funds ob­ tained from the last Labor Day Frolic. Specialists of London and Toronto have also contributed by donating their services and advice freely. During the Winter months the Sports Committee organized and se­ cured equipment for the juvenile hoc­ key players to encourage development of this game under the best possible supervision.
