THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1931 PAGE THREE _i_r-- ---- Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 LOCAL TALENT IN COMEDY TONIGHT Play Being Presented To Help Finances of Junior Hockey Club Under the auspices of the Junior Hockey Club the College comedy "The College Flapper," is being pre- sented in the Opera House tonight and tomorrow night, The Juniors who have had some luckless years of late are hoping to get away to a good start through the efforts of the play. All local talent are tak- ing part in the production which is under the direction of Miss Mary Lewis, a genial youny lady from Carolina. The College Flapper is a modern and up-to-date story of college life with the setting at Bula Bula Col- lege on Homecoming Bay, =~ The story centres around Jerry, the star football player who 1s supposed to be at practice but instead is in the sorority house making love to his girl. When his coach goes to find him Jerry dresses as the house mother and while in these clothes scores of funny situations follow. A big feature of the show is the Flapper Chorus composed of prom- inent business men of the town and the Baby chorus composed .of 100 little children from the town. It is a screarhing college comedy with an exciting football story. It is thrilling and up to date in every respect and it has the most unusual and comical situations, It would not be wise to, elucidate further on the plot as that will be seen to- night but with the sale of the re- served . seats prospects point to a packed house both tonight and to- morrow. night.

Annual Fall Fair on Friday were held last night.

Practically all arrangements are completed for the Fair on Fri- day. Among those expected to be present are the Hon. W. G. Mar- tin, Minister of Public Welfare under whose control the school is conducted, Hon, H, C. Scholfield, a member of the Board, and there is also a possibility that Hon, Geo. S. Henry and Hon. G.

In the evening the Toronto, Peterboro, Lindsay and Cobourg Rotary Clubs will be the guests of the Bowmanville Rotary Club at an inter-city meeting at the school when it is expected that Hon. W. G. Martin wil] speak at the dinfier at which these clubs will be guests of the Ontario Government. One of the big features of the fair will be the display of apples. This attracted a great deal of at- tention last year and was the means of selling many hundred barrels by local orchardists.

Warm Clothing Needed The instructions regarding the placement of these men in construc tion camps also contains the statc- ment that "it is imperative that the mea shall have suitable clothing to commence work," further supplics being available in the camps and obtainable when the man himself has earned a credit to his account. Commenting on this problem to- day Mayor Marks stated "we shall have to make a still more urgent appeal for help from the good citi- zens of 'Oshawa, These men can- not go, and must not be permitted to go unless they have warm cloth- ing. What they chicfly need is un- derwear, boots and socks. 1 man has good warm underwear and gooo boots he can go almost any- where.

"The ngeds of Oshawa are evi- dently being recognized when the Government lets us send 120 men to the construction camps in the first batch," said Mayor Marks, "and it is now up to us to see that these men are properly equipped." A. G. Storie, President of the As- sociated Welfare Societied, is co-op- ating with the Mayor to the fullest degree in the effort to obtain suit- able clothing for these men, and the response to the appeal issued through the medium of this paper yesterday has been very ready, but with the large number of men who will form the personnel of this city's northern contingent the ne- cessity for help has been doubled so that the response must also be dou- ed, "I am confident that the morc fortunate citizens of this city will rise to the occasion, and realize the urgent necessity for coming to our help," said Mayor Marks, BYNG ENDS TERM = AT SCOTLAND YARD London, Sept. 30--"I am, as you know sorry to leave" said Viscount Byng of Vimy as he left Scotland Yard for the last time today.

Therefore, it 'pays to bring it into Canada from another part of the Empire." He explained that Canada's dry summers militate against the, pro. duction of maize here, but that it is grown in western Ontario. This last cargo. of maize arriv- ed in the S.S.

Col. Dalziel made a plea for expressed chris- tianity, a christianity that was nracticable and universal in {ts application. As salt Christians must be the cavour; the light to guide others and show the ex- ample of Christian living and as the city set upon a hill which can be seen and admired, Col. Dal- ziel's address was most inspira- tional and was well received. Another intercsting speaker wae Capt. Bunton whose name is fumous in connection with work in Toronto Police Court, and who. spoke of the help given to the many unfortunates passing, through the court, and also of the welfare work undertaken in other ways. Capt. Bunton dra- matically described the conver- tion of young Brockenshire, who recently went to the gallows in Toronto for the murder of a con- stable. Capt. Bunton spent many hcurs with the condemned man hefore his death and stated that while for a long time he was stubborn and would not give in, he finally made a complete sur- render to Christ and asked for forgiveness. Brockenshire, said the Captain, undoubtedly died a saved man. His last words were "God be merciful to me a sinner." At the close of the service there was music and it was with eedness that the local officers in charge of the Corps and their-fol- lowers here took leave of them, The visit of Col. Dalziel has meant much to the local corps. Montreal.--Declaring that the different ways a man can be killed in a mystery story will some day be exhausted, according to the law of permutations and combina- tions, but that meanwhile'the pub- lic displays no slackening of zeal in reading about the solution of the killings. Valentine Williams, British short story writer, and eminent author of spy yarns, talked divertingly about spy and mystery hooks at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Mr. Williams himself is as in- teresting as the people he writes about, Before the war he was a correspondent all over Europe for the British papers, and got to know intellizence men pretty well, Today he meets them in various Continental capitals, and although they never admit their professions, they know he knows what they are. This knowledge he garnered jn his reporting days was appar- ently destined never to be touch- ed, were it not for the interyen- tion of the war. Wounded, and recuperating at a shooting box in Northern Scotland, his restless mind sought something to take away the ennui of inactivity, and Methods of Murder Almost Exhausted Declares Novelist he wrote the first of the now fam- ous "Clubfoot" novels, Every standard magazine in London re- jected it. A cheaper publication finally took it. The story made an instantaneous hit, and was read all over the world. That turned the tide, and Mr. Wil- liams became a. short story writ- er, and a spy scribe de luxe, "People today seem to prefer mystery, spy and biographical stories," he said. "They are tired of reading about the sex life of Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So, They want to get away from that, and like to lose themselves either in mystery yarns, or read biogra- phies like Ludwig's or Hackett's about real people." Mr. Williams was asked if it were true that big British busi- ness men read these mystery nove els for relaxation. "Do.they?" I should think so," he answered. "The headmaster of Eton told me my spy stories were among the few books he liept beside his bed. President Wilson used to read everything I wrote. Lord Balfour would read either deep philosophy or detec- tive stories, and mine were among them." And London's Paris Like the ranks of the Crimean War veterans, the small band of aged Frenchmen, who can remember a sunny Sunday in the French capital is rapidly being thinned out.
