The Toronto Salvation Army band contributed 1 in no small' degree to the success of the Saturday and 'Sunday programs. This band is a credit to the city from which they came, Toronto, and both at the park and up-town, this fine organization contributed in no small, degree to the aulecess of the reunion.

The night was warm but, dress coats olid starched shirts fronts "cut no ice in this circle- and wilted collars, everyone, was out for a jolly old time, and the sing-song style of the floor manager added a U'lcturesqueiiess to the tone picture that could not, be improved Upon, not, since the old time dimees of years oast, have we had more zest in those 1 dances than the Old Durham Bovs and Girls dance of Monday evening last, it was faintly an "old time frolic Jong to remember on this 1937 "Re- ymion of the Durham County Club in the -good old town of BowtMffr ville, with mayor Ros-a "Strike. a"s its chief magistrate and chair man of -comlmittee. -- ^ --o--c : . --U- Rea-d the .AdvertisernenlS in The Orono Times and save-money..
