He admitted. "The things we are doing are not per- fect," but added, "because we are compressed by federal taxation." Whiie the Ontario government has been increasing its budget, the ioderal gavernmont has in- creased their budget fram bo- tween four and five million dol- lars ta nearly throe billions, he said. Speaking on bohaîf af John W. Foote, V.C., Ministor ai Reform Institutions, Premier Frost was introduced by Michael Starr, ]$ ayor ai Oshawa and Progressive Conservative candidate in that riding. The Ontanio Premier said he gave Mr. Foote "a big 'order" when he asked him ta look inta the liquor laws of the province, "but I knew that a man who will jump off a barge at Dieppe and go in with the boys, wouidn't be afraid." Mr. Frost said the present Min- ister ai Reiorm Institutions set up an organization ta provide for sensible research inta the liquor laws problemn, and because of his intense interest in humanity, "he turned ta the nohabilitation ai alcohalies." John Foote, V.C., did a job for us, the Premier said, " and today Ontaria leads Most parts of the world in this respect. Bniefly roferring ta province- wide intorests like aid age pen- sions, agriculture, municipal ai- fairs and the extension of hydro and telophane service ta rural usors, the Premier devotod con- siderable time pin-painting the bonefits derived by Durham County from the budgeted $265 million for Municipal Affairs.

For some time, he said, the Official Board of the Church had been contemplating the formation of a Men's Club, and in iormulatIng plans for the banquet had de- cided ta invite Mn. Ralph C. Young, Secnetary ai the Natianal Commitlee ai United Church Mon, ta speak. If enaugh mon wore interesled, Mr. Turner said, a club would be formed.

Challis, A.T.C.M., and honr pupils presented a recital of high quality in Trinity United Churcli. Piano solos, accordion solos, piano duets, piano graups and blending ai organ and piano pro- vided a variety ai music very pleasing ta the ear. Miss Challis'. pupils ranged in age from tiny Efeather Harvey who looked liko a little fairy in stanched white )rgandy with a blue sash, ta the mare advanced students ai boen age. The accordion has evidently become a very papular instru- muent, as quite a largo number ai those taking part in the pro- gramme Friday night perfonmed on the accondian. In a programme of such excel- lence, il is hard ta single out any particular numbers, but on the human interest side, little Heather Hlarvey, who played the accordion and was sa smali she had ta stand up ta play the piano, captured the fancy ai the audience. An- othon youthful soloist wha caused a ripple ai innocent amusementj was Alan Plummer. His pianoj olo called for the use ai finst the right hand, thon the leit, thon bath hands. Ho had his pro- gramme firmly clutched in bis hand when his tunn came, and in his excitement instead of laying it down, ho passed il from one hand ta the other, and finally, la get nid ai it, held il between his knees. Ilis stage presence may have been a little shaken, but his piano solo was just fine. Rev. S. R. Hendenson oponed the evening's programme by wel- coming thoso present and con- gratulating Miss Challis on the fine contribution she is making ta the communily with hon lange class of pupils. Mn. Henderson also liçted three casualties among the penformers' Gloria Robson who was iii; Janot Scott who had a dislocated shoulder, and Marg- aret Gobeen, a broken wrist. Miss Challis f illed in for Margaret in a group number, and Miss Cath- ormne Teeple look Gloria Robson's place in the first numbor, "Race Course." Janet Scotl's piana solo had ta be amitled. Numbers which panticuiarly pleased the audience, tbough ail pupils were excellent, seemed ta be a piano solo by Lamna Flot- cher, "Concert Variations on Tur- key In The Straw," and piano greup number "Sbeep May Saiely Graze." Miss Challis' organ solo, "Pool and Peasant" was a high- light ai the evening. Following Miss Challis' solo, Mns. Stanley Snowden, president ai Trinity Young People's Union whicb organization sponsored the rocilal, presenled ber with a beauliful leather bnief case.* The iollowing pupils played in the recital: Eiieen and Helen Ai- Lnnual Remtembrance Day Service Largely Attended ai the Cenoiaph Velerans Attend Si.
