PHONES: 36w Main Floor, 36j Second Floor BAYFIELD• 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. 'At...1•1.4=N1411•041.01•11.0•••041•14/M.1.11..=1•00•11.011/.........1411.041•0041M.111•0411•1.4=HC Look Your Best ADRIENNE T,OILETRIES ARE THE FINEST YOU CAN USE.

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.

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.

Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson were week -end guests at her home at Par- amount, when they informed the pub- lisher that Mr. Higginson was anx- ious to get further information about the bird.-Lueknow Sentinel.
