REELS DEPICTED THE WORKING OF PHONE SYSTEN Bowmanville, Jan, 7.--An en- tertainment which was both enjoy- able and instructive was given in St. Paul's lecture room on Friday, evening under auspices of the Jun- for Missionary Society when eight reels were thrown on the screen de- picting the working of the Bell Telephone System. Rev, Dr, Best was in the chair and after the sing- ing of the National Anthem, called on Frank Willams, local manager to say a few words. On account of the lengthy program, Mr. Whe liams took up very little time but mentioned the wonderful progress that had been made even since he entered the service of the company. The pictures revealed the inside workings of the system and de- picted the progress that had been made with the ald of science. From All the' World A rcel that was most interest ing was one that showed every product that goes into the mak- ing of a telephone and the country from which it came, revealing the fact that the four corners of the earth contribute to hte making of the small instrument. Between reels a fine musical program was given by Misses Os- borne and Rundle, who played a p:ano duet, Mrs, Colville, who sang "Somewhere a Voice Is Calling," Messrs, Geo. E, Chase and H, J.
