Thurston & Son, Proprietors Splendid Meeting Feversham Literary The pupib of the Fevershaiu con- tinuation school presented their ann- ual open literary meeting on the after- noon of Friday, March 1st. The cus- tom of holding their annual open meeting was inauguiated last yeai and its succe.ss prompted the students to give a similar program this year. The meeting was opened with the Ringing ofSchol Days" by the new- ly-organized Glee Club, which was \vell received, Mr, Hai-vey Pedlar, one of the tru.stees was appointed to act as critic in place of Harold Mills, regular critic, who was engaged in the debate. The business concluded, the pro- gram proceeded by the speech of the president Hurbert Sayei-s, who ex- tended a hearty welcome to the largt number of visitoi-s. This was followed by the reading of the latest edition of the school newspaper, "The Fever- sham Eye-Opener" by Miss Beatrice Maxwell, which consisted of society news, current events, sports and sci- ence. The paper was concluded with some harmless jokes on various mem- bers of the school, as prepared by Gordon Davidson, school reporter. This section of the paper was especial' ly humorous and was given a hearty reception by the audience. A French recitatioix by Vernon Somers was enjoyed. The trial scene from "â- The Merchant of Venice"' was reproduced by a number of the lower school puip- ils. Miss- Evelyn Hale acting as "Por- tia" and Lawrence Phillips as â€"Shy- lock" who acquitted themselves ex- cellently in their respective parts. A piano solo by Miss Delmar Seely was a pleasant break for everyone and helped them settle their nerves foi the coming debate. The feature of the afternoon wat begun when the president announced the deibate on the time honoured sub- ject "resolve that the pen is might- ier than the sword". Supporting the affirmative side of the debate were Billy Burke and Miss Marion Havrton and opposing them were Harold 'MSIls and Miss Jean Short. The Rev. Cutler, assisted by Mrs. Somers and Mr. John Hale, kindly consented to act as judges and later judging from the report of their foreman Mr. Cut- ler, it was not easy to reach a dec- ision. While the judges deliberated the Glee Club rendered a song "Grand Fathers Clock" in fine style followed |by the piresidient announcing that Mr. T. Stewart Cooper, agriculture representative for Guey County would give a lantern slide program in the school some evening in the neai future. A second. piano solo by Miss Seely was enjoyed by all and the impromptu ciiitic, Mr. Pedlar was called upon to give his report. He expresed his appreciation of the hon- our conferred upon him and his plea- sure at being present. He com- mended the pupils for their high-class progiam and took his seat amid spon- taneous applause. Ais the vjiutees were not yet ready to give their de- cision Miss Seely was called upon for a third selection, the number of sel- ections demanded being ample tribute- to her playing. To pass the rc«t of the time of suspen«>e Mr. Howard Short another trustee was asked foi a short speech. .4s he regained his seat the judges filed in and after a few preliminary j-emarks, Mr. Cutler announce*! the verdict, the affirmative being award- ed the victory. After a vote of thanks to the judges had been moved by the leader of the negative, the afternoon was bi-ought to a close b> the singing of the National Anthem "My Government" Is Ottawa Reality The Prime Minister i» sick; the House la far from being the same place without him. For almost five years now his pei-sonality has domin- ated Parliament. He has either pil- oed all the great pieces of legisla- tion through the House, or been very close to the Minister who did.

Agnes MaePhail ;-'nly woman in the House of Comomnii on Friday night objected strenuously to "this stupid policy of building more armouries and military buildings in days like this." Miss MaePhail, a keen pacifist, al- ways has been outspoken against mili- traism. She advised the Government on Friday night that if money must be spent to releive unemployement it would be better to eliminate grade crossings than build barracks. "Oi course'Lshe added, '1' realiiw that would prevent people from being killed instead of getting ready for the next war and it's killing."

On the whole, however, good progress has been made. A number of matters of interest came up during the week. There was some cheerful talk regarding tourist business. It was estimated that the tourist traffic brought to C-anada $140 millions last year, which. while far from the peak (1929 with its estimated revenue of $309 mililon). was an improvement on 1933, which bi-ought in only $117 million.
