From what I can gather, the big event this week is the colos- 'sal At-Home dance to-morrow. inight, March 17 in the gym. Dyer has been talking about Benny Louis and his fine orchestra, giv- ing out with music through the courtesy of Simpson's Junior Council and J. C. Petrillo. Boy, I wish I was going because they are going to choose the Queen of the Ball, with a beautiful prize going to the winner, but I guess Tl have to spend the evening down the street with the parrot. Hmmm, maybe I should take some crackers with mej fire- crackehs! If you are standing near a mir- ror you had better stop and take a squint at your chest. Measles are picking the students off like the Black Plague. Say did you hear the gag about the travelling salesman and the whoops, nearly forgot where I was for a minute. Our boy Johnny (Kuddlesome Kid) Ross did all right last Sat- urday at Hamilton, I hear. It seems he set a new record in the 880 yard run, his time being 2.02 minutes. Congrats, Johnny! Sorry to 'hear that Pete Sutton coul not make the meet because of measles. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Capel are organizing a gym team, and Mr. Carberry is supervising the for- mation of the cadet bugle band. By spring these groups should be experts in their own fields. Oh, oh, the front door jst open- ened, that means that Dyer is back. So I must return to my little straw home in his vest. See ya'round, I think TIl go where flamingos fly. California Second, Speaker Asserts Even California, with all its claims to an ideal climate, would envy Australia its glorious sun- shine, J. P. Coyle told St. John's United Church Men's Club at its monthly - dinner meeting Thurs- day evening. The speaker, who is general manager of the Car- nation Milk Co. of Canada, spent several months in the southern continent on business, and was much impressed with what he saw there. "People in Australia are con- tented", he told his audience. "T think it is the sunshine. You never see anybody out of sorts in Australia. They are a great out- door people. They live primarily out of doors, in their wonderful sunshine." Australia's population of seven and a half million is over 99 per cent British. the speaker stated. Nearly half the population is concentrated in the two big cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the latter of which Mr. Covle de- scribed as the most beautiful city he had ever visited. Australians, he noted, were great gamblers. Lotteries were run by the govern. ment, and horse races drew vast throngs which made Canadian race-track crowds seem small by comparison. Gordon Perdue appealed for the Club's support in a forth- coming campaign to raise funds to renovate Lusk Hall. "The future of this country de- pends on the churches", said Mr. Perdue. If we're going to win the youth we must make our churches as attractive as the beer parlors, the shows and the bowl- ing alleys. This can only be done by everyone accepting their re- y sponsibilities. BRONTE THESPIANS A near capacity audience was enthusiastic in its approval of the Walton Memorial church choir's presentation March '12 of Mary P. Hamlin"s three-act play, "The Rock," produced under the able direction of James Fairbrother. The play, a sympathetic study depicting the character develop- ment of Simor# Peter, featured the sterling performances of Clar- ence Foster, as Simon, and Rena Wakely, as Adina, his wife. Of- fering capable support was a well directed cast which included Joan Gilbert, Reginald Robertson, Jean Ellison, William Milligan, Charles Livingstone, Eric Coombes, Earl Maloney, Richard Ellison and Margaret Robertson.

F. Graydon For a change in tempo, instead of their regular meeting, First Guide Company held a Campfire, spending the time singing and putting on skits. Too bad there was no audience as their execut- ion of the two and three part songs, action songs and rounds is well worth hearing. Diane Smith was a new recruit, and Patrol Leaders held a brief court of hon- our before the meeting ended. Taking advantage of the new accompanied by Joan Adamson, and Armour Barbara Black, Patsy Patterson, Ann Carney, Audrey Varley, Muriel Bovair, Carole Downey and Joan Browne went off on a Nature Study hike, along the Sixteen Mile Creek.
