Card of Thanks Navy League Tag Day Being Helld Saturday The peacetime activities of the Navy League are increasing; its op- portunities for services are unlimited. Fo(r more than fifty years the Navy League has lieen the official agency dealing with the men of the sea. The Navy League operates clubs .nd hoeitels at tbe principal Ocean points where merchant seamen Ocean naval latings are made welcome while ashore. When a seaman is aiwaiting his ship he finds homelike surroundings in Navy League centres, and he knows that kindly ntirsing care awaits him in the Sick Bay if he requires medical attention. Canada's position as an exporting nation is of vital im(portance to ev- citizen. AocoidSng to the Depart- ment of Trade and Gomimeroe "fo- reign trade creates one third o(f all Canadian jobs, biidlds one-third of every dollar you make." The real meaning of this lies in the feet that we are dependent upon the merchant seamen w-ho man the ships that carry the merchandise to and from the markets of the world. TJirough its educational services the Navy League makes Canadians conscious of their dependence upon the Sea, and in addition, sponsors a nation-wide youth training progTam that gives guidance to many thous- ads of 'teen age boys. The Navy League will hold its Tag Day in Flesherton this coming Sat- urday, October 4th. K generous re- sponse will assist the League to meet its responsibility on behalf of the Men and the Youth of Canada.

Then Fred Boyce bunted down the first base line, Campbell going to second. Then Les Oeley came up again with his big bat and hit ana so fast to Stafford that he oouldnt handle it and the ball caromed off and Campbell came in with the tieing run and Boyce was on third. Wftfe exhortations ringing in his eara to bring Boyce in, Johnson scorched one down to Heard', off second base, who juggled it momentarily, and Boyce caime across the plate standing op but Johnson was out at first. That ended the ball game, and it was a dilly. too. Everybodj- was pleased to see Eugenia paying heads-up ball. They now feel that they can take Dund!alk, and they might, too.
