Unable to Admit Wrong Be fore coming 10 Ottawa, I had the opinion thal a government coulq admit that il had been wrong on some measure and the opposition parties could be suf- ficienlly generous 10 accepl the admission witb thé realîzalion Ihal when tbe buman element is involved, Ibere are bound to be errors. After being in the House for a few weeks, I found, said Mr. James, that thal opinion was far frQm correct. Tbe government could be compared wilh a huge animal running through the woods. Every step il takes il is followed by a pack of hungry wolves, the opposition. If the ani- mal stumbies just once, the Iwolves are on ils back Irying bo put il 10 the ground. I'm nol playing polilics in Ibis assertion because the same condition woulci prevail if the Liberals formed the opposition. So, the governnrienl, wben il mnakes a mistake must do ils best 10 rectify the situation tinuing to advance. .Iust a Large Town Council Many people feel thal the House of Commons is nol as dig- nified as il sbould be.

The Whiz Kids, a 3-act play, presented this cast: Archer King- sley, a bachelor - Bll Fergusori; Amy Kingsley, a rontantic widow -Jean Bowers; Norlee Kingsley, bis i 7-year-old daughter-G ladys Emerson; The Whiz Kids: Buck Kingsley-Brian Hamilton and Bunny Kingsley-Doris Hamilton; Lola Lovejoy, Archer's boss- Wiilda Steele; Bertie Lovejoy, ber lisping son - Norman Dysart: Gladys Tydings, Archer's girl friend-Joyce Graham: Burwell Underbill, gloomy undertaker- Neil Bailey; Dade Darneil, Nor- eens' flame - Glen- VanCamp; Sarah Winch, Cockney lAtise- keeper -Yvonne Chant;*Amber Brown, ,the negro maid -Elaine Thompson; Calemo Smoot, the handyman-Harley Jackson. This was àn bilarious comedy in which Archer Kingsley decid- ed to get married and the Whiz Kids were kept 'busy trying to prevent their uncle fropi marry- ing someone whom they disliked. The face-if t of Lady Lovejoy was the prime gossip. Gladys Tyd;- ings, a very optomistic young lady and Burwell Underbili or Bury-well Underground, the ser- vants and other guests made up the household. Burwell Under- bill came courting Amy King- sley and the ensuing fun sent the audience off in gales of laughter. The twins made plenty of trou lie for ail and everyone was very relieved when Archer and Amy declared their love for one an- othex' and planned to elope. Least by no mneans was the discovery of a valuable coin by the twins and the acceptance of the Arch- er's biography. The play was amusing from the first word to the Iast and held the interest of even the children.
