Nt oh Sn a TAP EN rR mga A pra a Br V4 The play entitled "Closed Lips" pre- sented by the Utica young people un- der the auspices of Manchster Com- munity Club on Thursday might was largely attended. The committee com- posed of Mrs. McKinsey, Mrs. Gerrow and Mrs. Harvey Dobson are to be congratulated on the successful even- ing. The hall itself, and the stage looked most attractive, The comedy-drama in the thrée acts was given by five men and five ladies. The main part, that of a convict, taken by Cecil Collins, whose name was John Clay, who as an innocent man leaving prison, where he has been pardoned after serving a term of years, is in a dilemma as to whether he should seek to clear his good name and punish the real criminal, when the exposure will bring sorrow upon his own family. His son Bert Clay, played by Ben Ross, embittered by the long humiliation of being a convict's son insists upon the exposure until he learns that the man to suffer from it will be his beloved foster father and father of his be- loved fiance Terry Ratcliff, taken by Mrs. Harry Harper, whereupon he is content to let the matter drop. Star, a pathetic little waif of Cedar Valley, capably acted by Muriel Kerry, supplies the clue to solve the murder mystery, lifting: the burden of un- deserved guilt from sorely tried hearts and making a happy, surprise ending. The comic element was well represent- ed by a colored mammy, taken by Jessie Walker, an old darkey gardener played by Bob Walker, and a pair of wrong-living newly-weds, Helen Hor- top and Maunsell Gerrow. The roles of father and mother were taken by Melville Lakey and Mrs. H. Kerry. From beginning to end it proved to be a most delightful entertainment and those attending were well repaid.

Dear friends: We are pleased indeed to have this opportunity of meeting you and offering our congratulations on this happy occasion. During the years you made your home in our community, you won our respect and a place in our hearts "all your own." We could not fail to ap- preciate] your overflowing kindness to- ward your neighbours and your help- fulness in- every possible way, We wish you tonight to realize that we have thought about these things. You, Mr, Eyden, deserve our grati- Great War. You were considerably past the age at which men usually en- list for service but your heart respond- ed to the call of your country and you were not afraid to face the privations and dangers of a soldier's life. This called for real heroism. We have always observed your ab- solute honesty :in business and your fair and kind judgment of others. For particularly to that event which took place fifty years ago by which you won a good and faithful wife. We think that Mrs. Eyden fits exactly into the picture of a good wife which Solomon draws in the thirty-first { chapter of Proverbs: "The heart: of: her. husband doth safely trust in het. Who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax and work- eth willingly with' her hands. She reacheth forth her hands to the poor She opened her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness." ; Having had no children of your own you have from time to time, taken the responsibility of orphaned children in your home connection, toward whom you have been as a father and mother. Mr. Eyden,.your bride of fifty years ago must have been very lovely, as still on her golden wedding anniver- We day and that the years between will be happy and prosperous.

The on ca came. It was the same old sound as had been echoed more than a century before. It was Nelson, our Naval Hero, who first gave it vent. Its ery came loud and clear: "ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN THIS DAY WILL DO HIS DUTY." Hundreds of thousands responded to the call. They came from every quarter of the lang, Some lived across the seas. Some lived in log cabins, some in "stately mansions, others hailed from less pretentious dwellings. village, the farm, the factory, other belonged to the white collared profession, others from seats of learning, all came to do their bit at the call of the Empire. Some came in jest, others in earnest. Some expected the war. to be ended by Christmas and would take a trip to Berlin and back again, others would take a trip to Europe at a minimum of expense and here was a way of getting it. "Others saw the danger to which the Empire was exposed and others hoped that this was a war to end war. : cruits were culled. Only the choicest, at the beginning were eligible. War is a cruel monster. She takes only the best, both physically and mentally, the others had to stay behind. It was one disappointment after another. They who would take the trip to Berlin, even though a quarter of a century has passed, are still denied the pleasure, those who would -see Europe never saw it as they wished, if they did it was a prisoners of war in some German camp where for years they were closely confined and subsisted on food such as you would not feed your swine, and that ardent desire to see Europe was gone forever, The lads who "| went to save the Empire realize that the Empire is in as much danger as ever, for instead of having one menace to confront, we are now faced with three. The ones who thought that the Great' War was to end all wars are now conscious of the fact-that there is more danger than ever of war for there are more jealousies, unrest, mistrust and injustice stalking through the land and all their efforts to save democracy were all of no avail. They went to war full of pep, i in the morning of their day, full years broken, disappointed men with no health and no other re- sources, in most cases, at their command. They hdd to make a fresh start in life with no equipment mentally or physically for the undertaking.: Those who sleep in Flanders Field are the better off. They have no idea of the chagrin and the disappointment of those who returned, gas poisoned, maimed and halt and blind, broken old men. Civilization has been retarded for half a century for the best brains and the best physically equipped were taken, the rest of us stayed behind to carry on as best we could, To-day we find the world in a sorry state with everything so. pessimistic all-around, for it - would appear that all the willing sacrifice of our young heroes was of no avail. 3 "Toll for the brave, the brave that are no more."
