I haven't time to explain, but its super- sensitive, mystic, microscopical sensitiveness requires a meta- physical and even a pbrenologi- ecal dissertation to make ahl points sclear."

A high class musical treat was presented 10 the public on Friday evening in Trinity Church in the form of a piano-organ recital by M\iss Phyllîs R. M. Challis, A.T.C. MV., and ber students. These stu- dents entered the cburcb in a body and the program immediate- ly opened with O Canada, afler which Rev. J. E. Griffith in a few well chosen remarks introduced Miîss Challis and ber class. The program which consisted of 46 rumbcrs varied in style, and in- zluding solos, duets, duo-piano numbers, trios, double trios, quar- tettes and several ensemble num- bers combining piano and organ. The recital was so arranged as to show Ici good advantage the steady progrcss from the tiny performers who were eacb allow- ed 10 maintain bis or ber natural- ncss and cbarm, to the more ad- vanced pupils who appeared in the latter part of the program, thus building up 10 a mastcrly musical climnax. Music loyers who attendcd this recital, as well as the two former teacher-pupil mc- citais given by Miss Challis, could not help but notice with much intemest the steadily eniarging capabilities of these students. As a background 10 the even- ing's entertainment Miss Challis showed ber dignificd and accom- plished rnusiciansbip both aI the piano and organ, which was es- peciaily pronounced in ber organ rendition of the Overture of Wil- liam Tell dcpicting first a stili and distant calm, themi swelling to a rnighty thunderous climax of tone quality and color, showing ber wide range of personal interpre- talion. The floral decorations *ere v .ery elaborate. Huge baskets of silver and pink graced the organ, while the pastel shades followed the width of the choir loft down to the floor wbere stood huge ped- estal arrangements of cream and rose. Clearly butlined througbout the centre of Ibis floral mass was a large V of mauve Iris. The whole gala picture was enhanced by the lighting from several tri- ligbt floor lamps. The students taking part repre- sentcd Bowmanvillc, Hampton, Newcastle, Newtonville and Port Hope.

SOLDIERS DEFEATED BY FOUNDRY TEAM Tuesday's softball fixture at the public school grounds was a repe- tition of the game played a week ago when the 2nd Midland's tcarn went down to defeat before Sa- lem, 31-9. An equally painful spasm was displayed before an expectant crowd when the Foun- dry team beat themn 28-2 in good weathcm and on dry grounds Tucsday. The record was remarkably good up to the last of the 4th inn- ings. The play seemed to indicate that the soldiers deserved a place as softball players amnong the tried teams of other seasons. But the final frames wcre a nightmare and a pain to railbirds. It appears that management is lacking and if the league is to survive this wcak spot must submit to "mon- key-gland" treatment. The play by frames: 2nd Battal- ion led off and went out 1, 2, 3. In the second frarne tbey scored when Oke came home on 2 steals and Henry's fly to right. Trewin scored again in the 3rd, wben Clarke and Cowlc smashed out bits too bot to hold. After that 10 the end il was a procession of mis- cry with only 2 scratch bits. Re- placements, the bane nf manage- ment, werc plentiful. Mantle me- placed Trewin, Kilpatrick me- placcd Sellers, Thompson took over from Dadson and Spencer ousted Endicott. Pitchers were Cagney, Oke and Cagney again wbile Henry, a baldbeaded veter- an, caugbt all the way and was the outstanding playér of the team. The Ironmen were in a dither of apprehension tilI the last of the 4tb. Try as tbey could, they got only three runs until they broke loose. They got one in the fimst. Taylor scored on a 1 base bit and two steals, coming home on a line-out. Woods and Large trotted the course in the 2nd on bits by Homne and Taylor. In tbe 3rd they went ouI 1, 2, 3. The lasI of the 4th was a medley; the batting order followed eacb other around until 6 came up for the second time and 13 uns crossed the plate. Hately came home twice with the first home run of the game. Woods bit another in the 6th. In the 5th Large crossed the plate when Homne smasbed a thrce-bagger, and the final frame saw apother merry-go-round with 14 men scarnpering the paths be- fore tbe 3rd out.

IT'S A SMALL WORLD Bill Tait, maintenance super- intendent of the municipal build- ings, received a letter fromn Mrs. Tait's sister, Miss Kate Irving, who is with a British Women's Corps at Kinloss, Scotland. She writes: "The world is a small place these days. I was in a cafe at a coastal town a few evenings ago where some Canadian soldiers were having an "off-duty" lun- cheon. I asked if any o1 themn knew of Bowmanville and, sur- pmisingly, one said he came from there. He was Pte. Jack Gibbs and I got first hand information about Bowmanville and all my relatives there. He knew that young Bill Tait xvas somewhere in the west with the lst Midlands and had up-to-date news from home." Jack Gibbs is a brother of Miss tA. Gibbs, clerk at Jury & Lovell's Drug Store. He has been stationed iat various points in Britain on air- .combat duty and has been in Scot- iland since Christmas Day 1941.
