The stage setting for orchestra was of effective and unusual design. A huge representation of a rugby ball closed off the back of the stage, and wide blue and white streamers running from it to tRe top and the sides gave the orches- tra a background of an enclosed ghell of the club's colors. The pro- grams , too, were appropriate to the occasion, being printed in the shape of a rugby ball and each dance on the program was fea- tured by the name of some mem- ber of the O.R.F.U. intermediate championship team. The scene in the auditorium when the festivity was at its height, was a brilliant one, the gaily colored gowns of the ladies mingling with the severe black and white of the formal dress of the gentlemen to provide a colo! scheme that was very effective, and helped to create the atmos- phere of a function that did not lag for one moment from the time of the opening dance to the final number, A pleasant surprise was injected into the proceedings in the course of tho evening when Wally Clark, Harvey Hunt Mission Circle Held Meeting The homo of Mrs. Ratz, on Mas- son street, was the setting of one of the most interesting meetings of the Harvey Hunt Mission Circle and probably the most largely at- tended of the year. Miss Mayowna, of the Ukrain- fan Mission, was the centre of in- terest, and dressed in her native costume in a mixture of humor and pathos held her audience en- tranced. Not many Canadian-born have a better grasp of the Eng- lish language, and Miss Mayowna learned to speak and read in. a country where English is not taught and scarcely ever heard. Her life hcld one thrill after an- other, and it was hard to hellsve that so much experience could be packed into the life of such a young person. From being a nuree in tho great war, on through the echo of the Russian Revolution and then a civil war in 1926, her life held many horrors, In telling her audience how thankful they should he that they were Canadian women, not chat- tels, as in her country, she made a remark that should live long with those who heard her. Ghe sald: "I didn't know there was such beauty as I have seen in Can- ada," and those who watched her face light up and her eyes shine, knew that she didn't refer to our geography but to our Christian at- titude towards everyday living, a life that we take for granted. She spoke briefly of her work in Oshawa and sent out an urgont 8.0.8. for a leader for a boys' group and also big sisters for some of the motherless girls among our Ukrainians. Mrs. Holden and Mrs. Fleming received great applause for their plano duets and Mrs. Alger de- Hghted her audience with a vocal solo, ' PEACH SHORTCAKF Make a rich biscuit dough, into large sized biscuits.

Practically all of the members of the team were present, although it was regretted that Dr. Walker, the coach, was unable to be here on account of illness. The players and officials wore' hlue and white rib- ands across their chests, and, be- ing the heroes of the evening, they were given much attention by the members of the fair sex. Dlightful refreshments were served at midnight and dancing continued until two.a.m., when one of the most successful functions ever held by the Blue Devils came to a close.

It was Peter Rabbit who did it. You see, as Jumper and Peter was passing a certain dark green tree, a cedar tree, with thick low-growing branches, they had been given a most startling sur- prise; Jumper had become suspl- clous that all was not well and with a call to Peter to run for a big brush pile some distance away, had taken to his heels. Peter had heeded the warning instantly, not waiting to find out what the dan- ger might be, and had started oft lipperty-lipperty-lip, heading straight for the big brush pile, Now the instant Peter started, out from under that cedar tree leaped Yowler the Bobcat. Jum- per was scared, Oh yes, Jumper was scared. He always is scared when he knows that Yowler is about. But Jumper wasn't as bad- ly scared as was Poter Rabbit, In truth, Jumper's real fear was more for his small cousin than himself. He knew that those long hindlegs of his could kecp him our of reach of Yowler's claws even. though Yowler himself is coma jumper for a short distance. But Peter can- not cover half the- distance in a single jump that Jumper can, and Jumper knew {his, So did Yowler. He would much rather have Jumper, fer the latter was so much bigger that he would make a far better meal, hut Peter would do very well and would | or should be much easier to eateh, So Yowler didn't so much as lool in the direction of Jumper, He fixed his eyes on that little bobhing | gray-brown form. which was Peter | Rabbit and bounded after him, "Ruan, Peter run!" Jumper kept repeating over and over to him- self, for you know he hasn't ; of a volce. "Run, Peter. Blacky the along just lenp out "Run, run!" Crow, who in time to « Yowler from under that tree, Peter, run!" gereamed séreamed hanpened | | | reo | that Mrs. Blacky, hurrying up to see what was going on. Peter didn't nced to be told to run. No, indeed! Never had he run faster and never had he had greater need of running his fast- est. Had Petor been only a very little nearer that cedar tree when Yowler leaped out, he would have had no chance at all. Yowler's first leap was a mighty bound that carriod him a long way, and his second bound was almost equal to it. If ho could have kept up those long leaps, Peter wouldn'. have had a chance, but he couldn't. As it wag he was near enough to Peter to fill tho latter with such fear as he had known but once or twice before in hig life. And that fear was lending wings to Peter's feet, which made 'it secm as if he fairly flew over the snow. What that really means is that Peter was 80 frightened that he was run- ning faster than he had supposed he could. There was no place of safety short of the hig brush pile toward which he was running. He must reach that bpusgh pile first or fur- nich a dinner for Yowler the Bob- cal, That great nile of brush was his only possible hope for life, and it didn't lock like very much of a hone, "Run, Placky, "Run, Peter, Mra.

The general opinfon is that Pretoria's trade has been quite fair during the past year, though the public in many cases have been looking for less luxurfous articles. than previously. Where there is a drop In business, it Ig invariably attributed to de creases in prices and not to a ten dency not to buy. fwgns 1g provement, are evident and, with confidence in the future, :-retoria can be said to have passed the worst of the bad times, One merchant says he thinks the merchants all have less stock than a year ago. Thig 1s a good sign, as it enables them to buy on a large scale when times improve. The manager of a music salon says the average trade during the year has been reasonable. An outfitter says Pretoria has passed the worst. Over-trading and the had state of the agricultural industry has influ- enced trade. Things might prove quickly if the banks were not so stringent with thelr money. A manager of a draper's store says he has never sold so many luxury articles as during this past Christmas season. The publie bought freely. Judging from their trade, there was no depression in Pretoria at the end of 1930, fm- |. DEPRESSION TALK | ACTORS FAVORING DOF NOT COVCERN SUNDAY THEATRES PRETORIA TRADE rice ro tes ie Attack on Sabbatarian Attitude London, Feb, 21.---'"Ag an actor I put my foot right down on seven working nights a week, I would not do it for a million pounds," declared Leslie Henson, in the course of a debate at the Little Theatre on the question of the Sunday opening of theatres, "The theatres should open," gald Mr, Henson, 'six nights a week, and should have the liberty themselves "to say which six, As for working on Sundays why, if actors are not allowed to work should anyone else be allowed to work' Mr. Henson added that he and hig fellow managers and pro- ducers were as anxious as anybody that the conditions under which actors und actresses worked should safeguarded. Maurice Browne, in the course of an attack on the Sabbatarian attitude to the question, said that producers and managers had been charged with money-grabbing. "Where," he asked, "would the extra money we should take on Sundays go? It would go back into our business and also usefully into general circulation, "Would you sooner have a liv- ing theatre or a dead church? Some of ug dream of making the theatre once more the great heri- tage it wag in Elizabethan days. The theatre is being ground out of existence by taxation and by the most prejudicial favoritism shown to other forms of entertainment." be BAKED EGGS Butter an enamelware pan well, Break into this as many fresh eggs as desired, being careful to retain their shape.

There are now more than 130 specially equipped playgrounds for children in Melbourne. The municipal authorities have been so impressed by the need for these playing areas that since 1918 more than $2,600,000 has been: expend- ed thereon. Before the Great War there were practically no playgrounds in Mel- bourne, but the members of a soli- tary organization, the Guild of Play worked indefatigably to keep their aimg and ideals rewarded, when, shortly after the end of the war, the Guild became incorporated with the newly formed Playground As- goclation of Victoria, with Sir | James Barrett as its president. Liout-Col. Sir James Barrett is lec- | turer or Physiology of the special senses, University of Melbourne, and a member of the Council of the | University. The question of play leadership is | till contentious in Melbourne. Tt {is maintained in some quarters that | organization takes the natural joy [out of play. Against this it was | noticeable that, of a number of { playgrounds visited at random in the suburbs, those in which play- {leaders were engaged were far bet. | ter patronized than those in which | ehildren were left to their own de- | vices. There are in some of Mel- bourne's industrial seuburbs play- gronnds beautifully laid out with spacious lawns, and daviehly equip- ped with seesaws, slides, horizont- al-bars, may-poles, and a host of other contrivances dear to the heart of a child which remain practically deserted, In South Melbourne there are three playgrounds and two ot {them have play-leaders. Periodical. ly the children from the different grounds engage in highly successful competitions, Malvern and - Col- lingwood also have play-leaders, The Playgrounds Association, al- though it has achieved so much, is not content to rest upon its laurels. More grounds, especially larger playing-fields for the use of the | more highly organized games, are needed. It is the aim of the ass { sociation to' build up a fund, by means of which more play-leaders may be engaged and further ex- tensions may be made in co-opera- tfon with the municipalities, For this purpose the playgrounds per- petual trust fund, already totalling more than $400,000 has been esta- blished. The money is tn be held in perpetuity, only the interest be- ing expended. Many municipali- ties are in accord with the assocla- tion's opinion that play-leaders are urgently needed, but more money fs not available at present. SHORTAGE OF CLERGY London.~Increasing shortage of clergy in the Church of England is commented upon in the preface to the 60th issue of Crockford's Clerical Directory, recently published, It states: "To man its whole system efficiently, it is estimated that the Church requires 1,200 new men a year for the next 10 years, After that, an-annual average of 700 should suffice, It is thought impossible that these figures should be even ap- proached unless (as in the dark Vic- torian age) a majority of the candi- dates for holy orders should be men who can pay for their own educa- tion, and a large number of them in circumstances which enable them, af- ter ordination, to accept stipends which do not amount to what is call- ed a 'living wage." HUNTSMAN HONORED London~Jim Dalton, the veteran huntsman of the Blencathra ("John Peel") footpack and foxhounds, who carried the horn from 1894-1930, and who retired at the beginning of the scason, was presented with a cheque ofr $535, a vellum-bound testimonial and a portrait of himself and the hounds Songstress and Rally, taken on top of, Falcon Crag overlooking Lake Derwentwater, J. Bower Baithwaite said that dur- ing his 36 years as Huntsman, Dalton had seen the pack account for over 3,000 foxes, pi had probably tramped somewhere near 50,000 miles up hill and down hilt with his hounds, He had improved the breed of the Blen- cathra pack by his care, thorough- ness, and knowledge until the hounds were now the finest in the country, Canada has now more than 4500 chain stores in existence, covering fourteen branches of merchandise, For House Homemaker and The keeper There is a wide range of fish products that will give an added tang to the menu and, at the same time, be a wonderful help to the housekeeper in that it is immedi. ately available for any household need.
