Over 3,100 people were fined in Canada last year for not paying the radio license fee. BE RID OF Summer Pests PRICEVILLE It was with regret that the com- munity learned last week that Mr. John Thompson and family of Max- well sideroad are moving to Hamilton shortly. Just what Wareham will do without this energetic family is hard to guess. The anticipation of the loss ahead of us is overwhelming. Three of the local members of the C.G.I.T. are leaving today (Monday) for the girls' camp at Lora Bay. Mrs. Thompson, their leader, will be un- able to attend, as she is at present in Hamilton. The lucky girls are Evelyn Leppard, Helen Hargrave and Helen McCutcheon. It is expected that a i large group will visit the Bay this year, as the spot visited in the past years by Wareham group, has been chosen for the girls' camp from the whole district of Grey. Lora Bay is a delightful spot two miles west of Thombury on the Georgian Bay, and it is due to the recommendation of Mrs. Thompson that the Girls' Work Board has chosen it as the county camp site. Wareham W. A. held their July meeting at the home of Mrs. Wm. Wright Wed., July 10th. .\bout 20 members and visitors attended. After singing "He Leadeth Me," the roll call was answered 'by a verse on "Summer." Contributions were made by Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Percy Lougheed. Accounts in connection with the garden party, held recently, were closed and a payment on the minister's salary ordered. A short time was spent in prayers for the Empire, and several communications were read from recipients of flowers and fruit, and invitations from Max- well and Bethel Societies to visit them. The benediction closed the meeting. Some Warehamites spent the Glor- ious Twelfth in Thombury, some at Maxwell, others at Maple Valley and the remainder at Wareham. All re- port a good day and night. Wareham Junior Farmers and Jun- ior Institute held their July meeting on Monday, July 8th, with the usual good attendance. Owing to the in- ability of the boys' guest speaker, Mr. Thibaudeau of Markdale, to be present, considerable disappointment was felt. In the girls' section, pre- sided over by Hazel McMillan, vice- president, after routine business was disposed of, a letter from the presi- dent, Mrs. Elgin McCutcheon, was read, asking to be released from her duties. Upon a reluctant acceptance Miss Hazel McMillan was elected pre- sident for the balance of the year, and Miss Doris Fisher vice-pres. In â- â- he joint meeting with Doris Fisher M'esiding and Lloyd Allen as secre- ary, besides routine business, a very amusing reading was contributed by Cliffoi-d Allen, a duet by Misses Cole and Fisher and a contest of an edu- cational nature, put everyone on their toes. Excellent editions of "The Spotlight" were read by Miss Jeanne McCutcheon, who is past the amateur stage in journalism, and by Norman A number of deer have been repeat- edly seen on the farm of Archie Fisher during the past fortnight. No doubt stray hounds will shortly drive these "star boarders" into the deep swamp. They sometimes prove rather hard on the fields where they relish the pasture.
