C a s, AND, TOO, IT WAS THE LONG - est day of the year . . Just think, from now on, the days will be coming shorter again, although, to date, summer weath- er has been conspicuous by its absence , * THE TRITEST COMMENT WE heard on the cool weather the first of the week was; "Some- body must have left the `frig door open!" . . . An d that's just about the way it felt Officially, the record showed it was only two . degrees above freezing on Sunday , EARLY THIS MORNING, THE area was visited by a real elec- trical storm, accompanied by buckets of rain, but the sun emerged later . , The forecast was for sunny skies and scattered showers today, with temperatures range from 45 to 70 . . * M .A WHILE WRECKING AN OLD house in Seaforth this week, W.D. Carter ran across a commercial directory for 1904 published by R. G. Dun and Co. ..

Doug Kennedy did not register a complaint, as stated, but was asking information on the new bylaw regarding taxi licences , . OLD FASHIONED BARN RAISING WELL ATTENDED Bob Thompson, a 72 -year-old who scoffs at the idea he is get- ting old, balanced expertly on a foot -thick cross beam 20 feet up in the framework of the barn, and shouted encouragement to the sweating crews beneath. "Heave. Go. Heave. Go." The men manning the pike poles took up the chant of Alex Dennis, Walton, as they heaved another section of the stout framework of John Anderson's batten into place. Nimble -footed Bob Thompson applauded. "Best Banged barn raising I've been at for years," he exclaimed, "and I've been going to 'em since I was 12." Old -Fashioned Bee Bob's spirit was typical of the 55 men who flocked to the farm of Mr. Anderson, two miles west of Kippen, ro throw up the big barn's framework in a scant five hours in an old-fashioned "bee." Shortly after noon, cars began arriving at the Anderson farm from all directions. By one o'clock, the men were lugging the first huge beams up to the barn site, and manhandling them into place. By six o'clock, the last wooden peg had been hammered home and the frame- work was complete. "We haven't seen anything like this- in this district for years," said Mr..Anderson. "The boys are really going at it" Months of Planning Though the actual barn -raising was a matter of hours, months of work and planning went into preparation for this day. "I've been working on it for six months," said the owner. He explained that trees from his own bush had supplied the timber for the new barn. It had taken weeks to have the logs sawn, notched and piled in prop- er order in readiness for the building "bee." IntendinStudents CHAIRMAN A. 3.

The support and enthusiasm of these members, the generosity of the business folk and the help and :contribu- tions of men, women and child- ren of the district, have made all these things possible. "Much has been done but much remains to be done. The needs of the hospital are inexhaustible and we must not weary of well doing. "The Aid so far this year has raised only $447.57, so it has not asked a great deal financially from the public," Mrs. Fingland pointed out, "It plans some fund- raising events, for the fall as its finances are exhausted; some $38 only will remain in the treasury when all bills are paid. "The generosity of the public in the past has been great. The Hospital Aid solicits that same generosity for the future."

' President • C. H. Epps was in the chair for the meeting, which was in the form of a nomination meeting with primary ballots be- ing cast. Final ballot and new officers will be installed at next Tuesday evening's meeting, the last before vacation. Following discussion, the' ex- eoutive was empowered to sir - range' for details of incorpora- tion of the Club. (By our Bayfield correspondent) The first of four special `ser- vices to mark the,100th anni- versary of the forming of Trin- ity Church Parish, Hayfield, was held on 'Sunday mornnig, June 18, at t 11 a.m. Actually, this 'is the 101st anniversary but the celebration, which was planned • last year, was post- poned owing to 'the Rector's illness, The service was conducted by ' the Rector, Rev. Laverne. Mor- gan, and the special speaker was the Dean of Huron, Rev. R. C. Brown, St. Paul's Cathedral, London. It was a service so inspiring that it will live long in the memory of those' who were pres- ent. One was carried back 100 years when the pioneers — men and women of character and de- termination, with a will to work -gathered for Divine Worship In the log school house -some walk- ing from Varna and the Town Line (boundary between Hay and Stanley Townships). Then one thought of the joy which must have been theirs when they assembled for the first service after the little church fin- ally was roofed and had windows in it; and then down through the years of all the other occas - lees of rejoicing and thanksgiv- ing, of vows spoken and pledges given; of spiritual awakening and dedication, and sadness, too, when loved ones were laid to rest. One felt the presence of all those worshippers — Priests end laity — whothrough the years maintained Trinity and kept the faith of their fathers, and now, that they, the unseen, host, re- joiced again on this occasion. Owing to unfortunate circum- stances the re -decorating has not yet been completed and so chairs were used to seat the congrega- tion. A public address system enabled those outside to take part in the service. Following morning prayer and the hymn of Dedication, the Church Wardens, J. E. Hovey and Lloyd Scotulmlee proceeded' to the front of the church. Mrs. R. B. F. Gairdner read the offertory sentences and Miss Mabel Hod- gins the following list of mem- orial gifts: ' 'Cathedral lighting fixtures, in memory of Lloyd Clifford Arnott Hodgins, given by his sisters, Miss Mabel Hodgins, Toronto, and Mite Cameron MacNeil, Cleve- land; Altar desk, in memory of Elizabeth Gairdner Scott, given by her mother, Mrs. R. H. F. Gairdner; Chancel rug, in mem- ory of James Harvey Lambert, given by Mrs. Lambert, Detroit; wine cruet, in 'memory of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Elliott and their deceased children given by W. 3. Elliott and 'sisters; alter frontals, pulpit and prayer desk hangings in green, in memory of Elizabeth Gairdner Scott, given by Trinity Club; (Continued on Page Four) REV. C.
