The things worth remembering are the pleasant things. The things we didn't lîke might just as wel be thrown into Limbo, and for- gotten. The higbiight of the year w.as Stratford with its exciting rew building housîng the Fes- tival theatre, and the thrilling performance of Hamiet. Some- how that theatre, as with the tent before it, and the type of acting which has evolved at Stratford, bas a trernendous impact. That it bas something which other festivals or thea- tres on this continent do not, is proved by the thousands who le~s lime iv gn'v Ion o57 good Wube. mnd rq, Happy New Yearf EaY Gibbs Garage AND STAFF flock there each year from ail parts of the States and Canada, England and beyond. The whole deveiopment is the most exciting and worth- while tbing that bas happened in Canada in decades. And out of it bas corne a company of players which bas already tra- veiled the width of Canada. This cornpany is now ta re- ceive sorne financial assistance through the Canada Council, and no group or movernent de- serves it more. We didn't think to mention last week that this company is presenting Peer Gynt on television Sunday evening, Dec: 29, but it bas been well advertised, so we hope many of you saw it. We are writing prior to that ýate, so have this still to look forward to. HERE AND THERE There were other good times in '57. In May we visited the oid town of Niagara-on-the- Lake and saw the two beauti- fui old churches, St. Mark's and St. Andrew's, and the building, now a museum, wbere the first parliament in Upper Canada met. We drove along the beau- tifully landscaped River Road to Queenston and Fort Erie, absorbing ail the bistory we could as weil as the warm sun- shine, the beauty of the pear and cherry blossoms and the tulips. (It was a littie eariy for the peach blossoms.) Then there was a grand day in July at Presqu'île Park, and return trips to Lakefield anid the quiet littie cernetery wbere Catharine Parr Traili is buried. and a return to ever-beckoning Prince Edward County with the road to Bath luring us on down to the aid town of Kingston. One of our last outings was on a bright, t.ippy day in Octo- ber when we cooked our din- ner at an 'outdoor fireplace by beautiful Burleigh Falls. Good days ta remember, ail of them, and many more besides. Such tbings as the advent of Sputnik, we leave to the scien- tists to comment on; naming the best movies, to the movie cri- tics; and the year's best read- ing to you. Now we close the book of 957 and open a new one wbich bas a lot of pages, nice blank ones. -'t. ideî nserfog's Clothing Store 80 King St. W. 0G 'ISsof SNOW FUR SAttK WINTER DRIVINCP LIT Ut DE-SKID YOUR TIRES oe*àfmg ONUvsYom 25% mort troctioe% biee tire lite 15%.

BOOKLET 0F 50 YEARS AGO Many of us, connected in one way or another with Bowman- ville's Centennial, will be think- ing mucb alang historical lines for the next few montbs. We were interested ta see re- cently a book on Cobourg, Port Hope and Bowmanville mark- ed "Industrial Edition" and publisbed in 1907. Mr. Richard Clark, King Street East, kind- ly lent it ta us. The part on Bowmanville in- cludes a summary of the eariy settiement bere, various views of the town; the cottages an the East side at the beach with lawns sloping away ta the wa- ter-much of this land bas dis- appeared through erosion in Just 50 years photos of Thomas Bingham, S. W. Mason, A.L Nicholis, Fred R. Foley and C. M. Cawker with an account of their stores or businesses, the hotel at the C.N.R. station then called the Arlington; and a view of T. H. Knight's store "The Model Grocery", the clerks outside in big white aprons and a couple of lady customers wbose skirts toucb the ground. We note too. an iran post in the sidewalk. How bis- tory repeats itself. Only the bitching post was free in thase days! This is an interesting book- let and we tbank Mr. Clark for lending A tot us. FOR AULD LANG SYNE Sa we canclude the seventh year af writing this column. We bave enjoyed it and hope you may have found sametbing here that interested yau. Our opinion on certain things mayl not aiways agree with yoursD, but in that cannectian we tbink there is trutb and common sense in wbat Charles P. Cur- tis says in "A Commonplace Book", and that is: "There are only twa ways ta be quite un- prejudiced and impartial. One is ta be completely ignorant. The ther is ta be compietely indifferent." We would be a duil lot if we ail agreed an everytbing. We thank you for your con- tinued interest and assure you that your camments bave been much appreciated. Time naw for Auld Lang Syne and ta wish for ail a Happy New Year, and for Bow- man ville an interesting and successful Centennial year. OBITUARI MRS.

"THE RAINMAKER" Fulfillis Promise of Exclting Film Entertalnment The gripping stary of a smooth-talking con man and the ranch girl be teaches ta be beautiful, teams Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn in a memorable film, Hal Wallis' "The Rainmaker", a mavie that may wel mn off with tap screen hanors. Acclaimed, fol- lowing its preview sbowings, as one of the year's great pictures, the Paramount release, wbicb opens Monday at theo Royal Theatre, deserves every bit of that praise. Presenting Burt Lancaster in a performance as powerful and startling as in "The Rose Tat- too" and Katharine Hepburn in a brilliant portrayal that ranges frorn intense drama ta bigb comedy, the Technicolor film is superb movie fare, as f unny as it is maving, as buman as it is magical. Set samewhere ont West, the plot revoives aronnd a farming family, a dedicated-bacbelor sberiff and the wandering char- latan who turns their lives up- side down while extracting money from theni with the promise of bringing ram ta end their damaging drougbt. His wid gift of gab, intended ta inspire confidence in bis weird rituals, instead brings love to Miss Hepburn, ber yonniger brother Banl Holliman and Sher- iff Wendeil Corey, an adven- turons new life ta aider broth- er Lloyd Bridges and father Cameron Prud'homme, and co- incidentally a change of fortune for himself. The finest performance of Katharine Hepburn's career: a powerful, immensely inventive characterization by Burt Lan- caster; brilliant support by the entire co-starring cast; and a unique, deeply moving story that ranges from intense drama ta high comedy makes Hal Wal- lis' "iThie Rainmaker" superb movie faFe. Feature at 7:15 and 9:30. 100 PATTERNS THULRSDAY, JAN. 2ncl, 1951 St. Paul's Sundoy School Holds Concert ut Centre Owing to, the lncreased num- bers in St. Paul's United Church Sunday School, the annual Christmas concert was held in the auditorium of the Lions Community Centre this year.
