Bell as Anni. versary Feature EDUCATIONAL has Shows Part Religious Edu' cation Plays in Rearing Youth One of the most educational and striking pageants ever given in Osh- awa was presented by Simcoe Uni- ted Church Sabbath School last night in the church, and the building was crowded to capacity, The pageant, entitled the "Sunday School Garden," was specially written by Mrs, A. W, Bell, M.E, D.D.A., for the celebra- tion of the 60th Anniversary of the Simcoe Street United Church, Outlining in detail the part that religious education plays in the rear- ing to maturity the youth of today, the pageantthe pageant depicted the Sunday School as a warden full of young life which was guided and guarded by the education forthcom- mg from the environment of the Sunday School itself, Four main secenes were enacted in the reviewing of the stages from infancy to adult life during which time many happenings occur. The first, the Uncultivated Garden, rep- resenting life before any changing influences are wrought to weave character into the minds of the chil- dren. It showed too, that ne matter what age an individual reaches there is always some shining star to quide and direct the course of exis- tence in the right way and for the best purpose, The first scene was a revelation, Specially painted backgrounds with artificial trees, de- picting the Uncultivated Garden, were revealed upon the rise of the curtain, The beautiful effect was softened by the play of colored lights upon the stage. Here was an en- chanted forest, Presently butterflies rose from the neighborhood of the trees and fluttered upward, gradually disappearing from the scene. Then came the story, Father Time, E, Coedy, and Mother Nature, Miss A. Bary, stroll across the garden expressing disatisfaetion at the bleak and dreary aspect of no flowers, and hardly any .vegitation or growth in the garden of life. The Garden was represented in an uncultured state, with seven trees as the seven stages of life, babyhood, childhood, maiden- hood, wifehood, motherhood, grand- motherhood, and the immigrant life of children. Each stage was portrayed in a splendid manner, the trees separating and revealing each stage in turn, as Father Time struck them. Then the garden was destined for a change. It now took on the appear- ance of cultivation. Rose leaves were scattered on the green grass, Dur- ing this number, a quartette consist- ing of J, East, Mrs. A, Fisher, Miss Jean Keddie and A. Salmon, sang "Scatter Seeds of Kindness." Of special mention was the pretty little rose dancer Miss Horton, for- merly of Toronto but now of this city, Her work was to be commend- ed, Several drills of an artistic na- ture were executed in dainty manner under the direction of Miss D, Bar- rowclough, Mrs. W, H. James also gave invaluable assistance in the pre- paration of the drills with the irk, At this period of the gar change from umcultivated to the on tivated state, Father Time and Mother nature reappear on the scene, The improvements are shown to them, and the growth through reli- gious education outlined, Pantomines | and tableaux are given. Those tak- ing part in latter are Ross Heravcourt, Fldred York, Miss Wil- kins, Dr. and Mrs. A. Richardson, and family, Mrs. ars.

George Gerald King, a few days ago at the advanced age of 92 recalls the fact that the Senate of the Dominion of Canada provides an unusual spectacle of many legis- lators still actively functioning des- pite their having ong passed the allotted span. Ope at least, Senator Georges Casimir , Dessaulles, Is a centenarian; five 'are octogenariais, while mere youths of 70 and over comprise over 25 per cent of the total membership of the Senate. A senator in Canada is not elected by the people; nor can he be relieved of office except through some act of his own. Resignation of his seat; failure to attend two consecutive ses- sions of Parilament; repudiation of his Canadian citizenship ; bankruptcy ; being attainted or convicted for fel- ony; ceasing to fulfil the property requirements which demands that he be possessed of "real propesty to the value of $4000," are all provisions the infr, mn of which may cost a senator his seat.

DIRIGIBLE RETURNS AFTER POLAR FLIGHT Flight Was Secon Second Made ol Polar Regions, the First Lasting Only Eight Hours --Considered Quite Suc. cessful By Authorities -- Lenin Land Explored By Party. ITALY REJOICES OVER RETURN Revolution in Arctic Geog- raphy May Result from Observations Made By Crew of Dirigible -- No- 'bile plans to Erect Cross Blessed By Pope at Pole (Cable Service to the Times by the Canadian Press) King's Bay, Spitzbergen, May 18. --The' dirigible Italia" refurned to her base here at 9.15 a.m. to- day from the exploring trip to Lenin land, The dirigible had been in flight for almost 68 hours uver the course of some 2,000 miles, The long flight was the second that the "Italia" had made over the polar regions since her arrival here, The first flight was made on May 11, and lasted only about 8 hours although it had heen hoped that the ship would make a 40 hour cruise, Fog and a heavy snowstorm compelled the Nobile to turn back after covering 300 mies, Rome, May 18.--News of the re- turn flight of the "Italia" to her King's Bay base was received with rejoicing throughout the Italian press which cites the flight as a splendid achievement, Popolodi Rema notes that bes tween Spitzbergen and Franz Jo- seph archipelago the "Italia" touna no trace of land showing that the mythical Gillis Land as well as Crocker Land which Perry thought he saw did not exist. However, the "Italia's" crew wag mble to c- tablish the presence of a vast zone of open sea to the northwest of Franz Joseph group and another space of open water near Nicholas 11. Land, the paper states, adding that this is enough to constitute a revolution in Arctic geography. Now that Nobile has made two preliminary flights, popular inter- est is centering on his projected trip over the pole itself when he plans to deposit a large cross bless- ed by Pope Pius, King's Bay, Spitzbergen, May 17-- Shortage of gasoline supply may force the dirigible Italia, now return- ing from a flight to Lenin Island, to seek the mooring mast at Vadsoe, in northernmost Norway, instead of continuing on to its base here. Radio messages from the dirigible indicate that it is meeting with more than a little difficulty in fighting against a stiff northwest breeze. Tak- ing into account that the ship has been in practically continuous flight since leaving here shortly before 2 pm. on Tuesday, members of the base force felt that the Italia could have little fuel remaining. FF Throughout the afternoon, General Umberto Nobile requested his base ship, the Citta Di Milano, for radio bearings to determine his position. The Lr of the mother ship were kept busy poring over charts and sending the information he required. The Italia stopped at Vadsoe en route here, and an amergency base has been established there. Unless a change in weather conditions per- mits a return here without refueling it is regarded as almost certain that the dirigible will be moored at Vad- gi 7 7 p.m. tonight, the Italia Seport, ed that she was approximately 800 kilometers (500 miles) southeast of this archipelago. General Nobile, he said, wauld attempt to fly around South Cape, the southernmost point of Spitzbergen, and then follow the west coast to King's Bay. This, of course, in event the opposing wind does not force him to go to Vadsoe. If enabled to continue to King's Bay. he hopes to arrive tomorrow by 8 am.
