A rare musical treat was enjoyed
by the large number of people who
attended Trinity Church Garden Par-
ty on Tuesday evening when the
Band of the. Royal Canadian Regi-
ment, London, underthe gifted bat-
on of the director of Music, Capt. L.
K. Harrison, L.R.A.M, played a well-
chosen program of light musical 1111111-
bers. The, program, which was made
possible by the kind perinission of
Lieut. -Col. M. K. Green, was ai fol-
lows: March, "Entry of the Bulgas";
Valse, "Frau Luna"; Selection, "The
Student Prince"; Patrol, "The Wee
McGregor"; Valse, "The 'Wedding
Dance"; Oriental Characteristic piece,
"In a Persian Market"; Three "Hen-
ry VIII Dances," by Edward German.
Following a ten-minute intermission
the band continued with a grand op -I
era number, a selection from "Car-
men" by Bizet; A Characteristic Piece
"The Butterfly"; Selection from "The
Chocolate Soldier"; "The Siamese
,
Patrol," by Lincke; a vividly descrip-
tive piece, "The Hunting Scene," and
the closing number, "Grand Military
Tattoo," by Rogan and "God Save
the King." This is the first time
that people have been privileged to
hear in this district Western Ontario's
finest band. The grounds were very
gaily decorated with flags and bunt-
ing kindly loaned for the occasion by
the Shell Gas Co. in Goderich and
colored lights displayed to advantage
the artistic talent of two young lad-
ies •of the village, Miss Mary Jean
Moorhouse who was responsible for
novel poster, "Sweets for the Sweet,"
which called attention to the candy
booth of which her mother, Mrs, E.
Moorhouse, had charge, and Miss
Betty Gairdner who designed a most
realistic- fishpond which took one to
the depths of the sea where dwell
mermaids and their kb, over which
her mother, Mrs. R. H. Gairdner,
presided. During the supper hour
Mrs. C. Stogdill, Toronto, and Mrs.
F. H. Paull, Windsor, entertained at
the piano. Mr. Donald Stewart Hun-
ter of Toronto ran a Clock Golf
Course, for which Dr. C. Stogdill,
won the prize, a handsome modernis-
tic lamp, with the low score of 24.
Rev. F. H. Paull conducted an ar-
chery' tournament which was much
enjoyed by those participating. . J.
W. Joillott proved to be the best ar-
cher, hitting the bull's eye right in
the center. Sam Widcombe's refresh-
ment booth proved to be a popular
spot throughout the evening. The
Ladies of the Guild presided veiy ef-
ficiently over the supper tables, many
compliments being received on the
excellence of their examples of culin-
ary skill. The Guild is very much
indebted to Mrs. Garrett of London
who in Gypsy Costume was kept busy
discerning the future for ber many
patrons. Many favourable comments
were heard concerning the generosity
of the Band which played almost
constantly from eight to ten o'clock,
their gorgeous regimental uniforms
adding that touch of glamour neces-
sary to make this the most festive oc-
casion in the history of the Parish.
The great success of the evening was
due in large measure to the indefat-
igable efforts of the Rector, Rev, W.
G. Bugler.
Anniversary services were held in
Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday
last when large congregations were
present at both services. The newly
inducted pastor, Rev. Gorden Peddie,
B.A., who was the student pastor here
when Knox Church was built six years
ago, conducted both services. The
theme of his inspiring sermon was:
"The Place of Tradition in the
Church." In the morning his sub-
ject was "The Authority of our Fath-
ers," in dealing with which he took
for his text Exodus 20, verse 12,
"Honor thy father and thy mother,"
and in the evening he spoke on The
Limitations of Such Authority, basing
his remarks on St. John 3, verse 30:
"He must increase but I must de-
crease." In the morning Miss Laura
Peter of Stratford, sang "Thou Art
Our Father," and a male quartette
from Clinton, Messrs. Roberton, Mit-
chell and W. and F. Mutch, sang "The
Wayside Cross." Miss Laura Peter
sang " 0 Love that wilt not let me go"
and Mr. Don McNeil of Clinton sang
"Face to Face," at the evening service
and Rev. R. M. Gale offered prayer.
Mrs. J. Ferguson presided at the or-
gan.

Thirteen Rules For
Motorists
1. Consider the rights and privil-
eges of others.
2. Drive your car at a reasonable
and proper speed at all times.
3. Give full and individual atten-
tion to your driving. If you want to
enjoy the scenery or "window shop",
park your car.
4. Know your stopping distance at
all times. Reasonable speed in fair
weat et or on a dry road surface
may be dangerous in rain or snow.
5. Keep your brakes, lights, steer-
ing mechanism and tires in good op-
erating condition, Failure to do this
is an indication of a dangerous and
irresponsible driver.
6. Don't insist on your "right of
way." Your life and health are much
more important.
7. Watch the car ahead, and don't
follow to closely.
8. Never pass another vehicle on a
hill or curve or at any point where the
view is obstructed.
9. Slow down at crossings, street
inters'ections, schools, and when pas-
sing parked cars.
10. Obgerve road signs and signals.
They have a definite purpose -to pre-
vent accidents.
11. Be particularly careful when
passing pedestrians or bicyclists. Put
your foot on the brake, then blow the
horn if it is absolutely necessary.
12. If you drive -don't drink. If you
drink -don't drive.
13. Observe this golden rule: Drive
as you would have others drive. In
other words, "Try Courtesy," every
inch of the way.
Cattle Pool Receives
Ottawa Aid
Hon. J. C. Gardiner, federal min-
ister of agriculture, has announced
plans for disposing of. surplus Sas-
katchewan livestock through a pool-
ing system operated by the Federal
Government.
Under the plan, animals suitable
for feeders will be assembled in cor-
rals, where auction sales may be
held, giving eastern buyers a chance
to purchase carload lots. An initial
price will be paid to farmers by the
Dominion Government, and subse-
quent earnings will be apportioned
after marketing,
The government will further assist
by paying half cost of shipments and
half fare of Eastern buyers who go
to Western Canada to select their
cattle for finishing.
A • late report from Winnipeg
shows an increase of over 17,000 cat-
tle shipped to Eastern Canada for
the 28 •weeks ending July 15, as
compared with the .•same period a •
year ago. , Mrs. H. Thomas and Miss- Cecil ..:-Wingham Advance -Times. dean. ,

The homing pigeon which recently
came to the farm of Mr. James Web-
ster, was one of a group of birds rac-
ing from Minneapolis to Toronto. In
our last issue, mention was made of
a letter received from Higginson
of Toronto, who sought the complete
number on the leg band, so the bird
might be traced. Many of these birds
are quite valuable and Mr, Higginson
had eight birds in the race, only one
of which returned. He learned of the
bird alighting here through a recent
ilsue of The Sentinel which he hap-
pened to pick up in Toronto at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Sander-
son (nee Ann MacDonald).
Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson were

RIGHT ON THE JOB
An example of super -salesmanship
was given by Wm. Sweitzer, former
warden of Huron County, when, on
the strength of "what might have
been," he' sold a $5,000 life insurance
policy to John Regier of Crediton,
while they awaited a traffic officer
beside their wrecked autos after
crashing. By the time, County Traf-
fic Officer Lever arrived,' the en-
thusiastic salesman was working ori
a second prospect with the cheerful
view: "Look what 4appened to us;
how are you fixed?" Unfortunately
the officer interrupted the second
sales talk.-Goderich Star.
