The house, a one-storey frame structure owned by R. Black, Is located some distance back from the street, and is oc- cupied by Norman Monague and his wife. Mrs. Monague was in hospital, and her husband was absent at the time of the fire, nobody being In the house. Firemen ' fought the stubborn blaze with 'two Hose lines for about an hour 'and 'a' halt before subduing it. Fire was confined to the frofit' portion of the house, all the front wall being destroyed. Many of the contents of the house were. damaged.

While feeling that Mrs. New's "vacuousness was not projected and she needed more force in the last sceme," the ad- judicator rated her impersonation first rate in movement and ges- ture. Applause that swept through the theatre amply supported this opinion, and clearly indicated that hard-to-please festival critics were much impressed. In his commentary on the and Crafts presentation of J. B. Priestley's Dangerous Corner last Wednesday night, Mr. Newton both gratified and mystified mem- bers of the cast. Approving How- ard Caine's direction for the man- ner in which it had overcome the difficulty in manipulating the characters, and lauding the stage crew for a fine set, he found the cast highly competent. But he al- so felt the play was mot complet- ely sustainedgin that it was "too natural"--a reference hard for an ambitious amateur group to justify. .

Intermedidte semifinal tound by an eight point margin and qualifying to meet Centralia Fliers for the provincial title. Trailing by ten points at the start due to their 46-36 loss In Cobourg, Grads pulled out ull the stops right from the opening whistle, and had doubled the score to lead 3417 at half time. Dick Farley and Al Nicholls combined with playing coach Doug Junkin to form a terrific trio around the hoop all the way, Nick being the particular ball of fire that ignited the Grad attack. Jack Currie and Lloyd Minshall sparked the Grad GRADS ELIMINATE COBOURG, CENTRALIA'S FLIERS IN ONTARIO FINAL defensive corps to effectively blanket all ambitious Cobourg snipers except large Ron Hircock, who tossed in 20 points to' take the game's high scoring honors. Indication of the rugged pace was the calling of no less than 43 fouls by referees Kitch Mac Pherson and Bob! Mitchell, 26 of them against the losers. ' Grads travel to Centralia on Saturday, March 31; and play the return game here on Wednesday evening, April 4. The Fliers cop- ped the Ontario flag last season, 50 a hot series is assured.
