.;aged in Westmount Park.from September 8 to 12, under the «ponsorship of the Rotary Club x?Westmount, in aid of the Montreal Children's Hospital and the Julius Richardson Convales- ent Home, at Chateauguay, is being taken by the Westmount Women's Club, the Notre Dame de Grace Women's Club and the Montreal Women's Club.E-ch dub will be represented by a Mioth at the carnival and full support of club members is expected to add greatiy to the suc- vess of the event, One of the highlights of the \u2018arnival will be the Victory Garden which has been designed to serve the two-foid purpose of aiding our front line as well as our home front.A plot of ground has been chosen and in it will be buried in circular tubes War Savings Stamps.For a small sum each person will be given a divining rod.If he is a good guesser, and lucky, and comes within a reasonable distance of the buried tube.a War Savings Stamp will augment hig supply.Only members of the committee in charge of the Victory Garden will know where the stamps are buried for this treasure hunt.In the midst of its war activities, the Rotary Club of West- nount feels more than ever this year it must not neglect the re- spousibility it undertook some years ago, of each year, raising funds to aid underprivileged children of Montreal, through the Julius Richardson Convalescent Home, at Chateauguay and the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital.These two institutions play a large part in the building up of child health in our community and their tacilities must be maintained so that these children can reach adult age in a state of health that will enable them to help build the future of the nation.The hundreds of children who have been returned to their homes from these institutions completely cured in mind and body has amply justified the support pledged by the Rotary Club of Westmount and its efforts to maintain and increase the medical care and attention in the institutions.The carnival will be held in the playing grounds of Westmount Park, Booths with games of skill, entertainment for all ages, facilities for refreshments and many unique attractions have been planned that will excite the interest of all those spending an .afternoon or evening at the carnival.LAST RESPECTS PAID TO LATE ROBT.MACAULAY Former Toronto Lumber Business Man Was Father of Westmount Resident ,( The funeral service was held fn Toronto Tuesday afternoon for the late Robert Macaulay.father of R.V.Macaulay of West- mount, assistant vice-president of the Bell Telephone Co.of Canada, and of Leopold Macaulay.K.C.Toronto.former Ontario Minister of Highways.Mr.Macaulay died suddeniy on Saturday at the age of 84 at Elgin House Hotel on Lake Joseph.Muskoka, where he had holidayed each summer for many years.We buy diamonds, old geld and jeweiry.OHMAN°S mPI0HI 0 OC DO>0c\u2014, A native of Markham.Ont.the late Mr.Macaulay moved to.Peterborough after his marriage! and subsequently lived for mang | rears in Lindsay.Ont.where he was engaged in railway work.Finally moving to Toronto.he: entered the lumber business and: = League.ship, 7.30 p.m.Dr.Jones wiil| mer has improved greatly.Second, Ist, Erle McFadden;
