It was asked that this be in- creased to at least two, a com renovation of the locks was asked for without delay, " It was shown that part of upper story was used for the ac- commodation of part of Warden's family, While protected from main gaol building by stout doors and locks these rooms were only Access by a wooden stairway, which was directly over the furnace, The win- dows of these. rooms were provided with bars. Action was asked to re- move the bars and provide ropes in case of fire, There is only one telephone in the building, which is situated in the main corridor. The Sheriff asked that an extension to the warden's living quarters be provided. The provincial inspector had made his inspection, Sheriff Paxton stated, and had made recommendations. The provincial department would take matters into their own hands if the council did not take immediate action. Appointments Made Ontario County Council authorized a number of appointments. Two members of the Council were appointed to the Board of Manage- ment of the House of Refuge for the year. Chas. Mackie, reeve of Whitby Township; Owen Davies, reeve of Ux- bridge Township, were named to fill the positions, 9 Ernest Chapman, 1st deputy reeve of Pickering, introduced a by-law which appointed Alex.

For weeks the pupils had been practising for thelr annual concert, and on Friday evening they presented the result of their labors to the public. There was a good turn- out to witness the performance, which was given in the Assembly Hall of the High School. Mr, C. Werner, Principal of the Public School thanked the audience, and the parents for their co-operation, The opening numbers were choruses by the pupils, under the direction of Miss Gertrude Stovin. It is great to watch the enthusiasm of the young singers. They sang 'Hello! Every- body." with a vim. Next came the presentation of prizes, with a line-up of prize winners clear across the stage, with the smil- ing face of little Ethel Turner at the end of the line. This lot of prizes was chiefly for regular attendance and good conduct, with some specials for proficiency in individual subjects. These presentations were made by Inspector R. A. Hutchi Inspect Hutchison has a warm spot in his heart for Port Perry Public School. He says that we have one of the hest schools in the County, and that "the staff of teachers is of unusual ex- cellence, Another group of prizes was pre- sented by Mrs. John Nasmith, Edu. cational Secretary of the 1.O.D.E. for general proficiency, This group of prizes is a much. appreciated contri. bution given annually by Scugog Chapter of the I.O.D.E. Choruses by the Junior Pupils fol- lowed, under the direction of Miss Eunice Harris. That group of bright faces will linger in the memory of the audience as one of the pleasant mem- ories. These children do love to sing, and are so natural that they provide endless cause for smiles. The senior girls gave three num- bers--The Kitchen Orchestra, Laugh- ing Chorus, and OI' Man River, all of which were much enjoyed. The Kitchen Orchestra comprised some re- markable instruments. Now we know what some of those radio orchestras look like. It is pretty generally conceded that the Operetta--"The Golden Whistle" --was the outstanding number on the program, It was happily staged, and 'the costuming was a rainbow of beau or a "mortal boy," in the woods whence he is awakened by mischievous elves. A Little Old our large mills are not grinding prae- tically more than local needs on ac- count of purchasing price of our wheat, when made into flour, being too high for export. This has caused a great shortage in by-products, such as middlings, bran and shorts, so much 50, that at the present time the Maritime Provinces are paying the duty on large shipments from the U. 8. Our Railways, for want of haulage, have suffered a slump, Canadian money has had a sharp discount, and large bank funds are tied up. At the present time the outlook is poor for the farmers to be reimbursed By this policy of holding wheat for higher prices than the British markets are willing to pay. The next few months will tell the tale as to whether this is the proper policy to foster Can- adian resources and industry. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of men have been laid off by railways and other business con- cerns as a result of the Pool's hold- ing policy. Which will win--the Pool, or Supply and Demand? the yells. There would be another entertainment that most of us did not see the fun of getting out of the dis- guise which so effectually covered the faces of these swarthy Indians.' It must have puzzled the mothers to have 'known which of these dark skinned young savages was her own demure little girl with blue eyes and flaxen hair, However, it all came off in the wash. The performance was well given, If the Girls had a big time getting back to normal after the Indian camp- fire entertainment, you can guess the struggle of the thirty boys who made up, the minstrel troupe. What keeps most of us guessing is--where did the boys find so many silk hats They were a great aggregation. Just to look at them was enough to drive away a fit of the blues, and then a solemn looking old darky came out with dne of those jokes in a voice that is just at the breaking point, you can judge what a mirth provoking effect was produced. This is the first at- tempt of the boys to put on a minstrel show, and it will not be the last. Next time they will remember to face the audience when sending out their fun- ny broadcasts. The stage is not very good for public speaking, so that extra effort has to be made to make the public hear. It was a good show, and has fine fun possibilities. The final word is that the teachers did a good piece of work in getting the youngsters into shape, and the parents are much obliged to them for the trouble they took. The costuming and make-up must in itself have been a big job, The list of prize winners follows: Prizes awarded by Miss Stovin-- For perfect attendance and punctual ity during 1929--Jessie Middleton, Jean Moase, Nora Levia, Mary David- son.
