Red Deer, Alberta, June 7.--I was somewhat amused at two items con- tained in one of your late issues. The first appeared under the head- ing of events of "25 Years Ago," and stated that at that time there was a movement on foot tp secure. proper bathing facilities for the boys. The second item was to the effect that the city council had changed their minds as to adopting "daylight saving." I suppose, Mr, Editor, the agita- tion 'of twenty-five years ago is still going on; and that in some issue of your paper in 1941 there will appear an item that in the year 1916 "day- light saving" was considered in Kingston. These two items illustrate to a nicety the history of the City of Kingston. Almost every village has its swimming hole, but Kingston, witn miles of water front, has none after an agitation of twenty-five years. The "daylight saving" is be- ing adopted in a large number of | places, and is entirely satisfactory, | but Kingston can not take it up.| Even your city council has not en-| {ough initiative to act as they be|.[jile John" will be sung by Jam- lieve.--J.

The feature picture "For The Defence" with Fanny Ward in the role of Fidele, an innocent French girl is realistic. "Man and Moralty" a three reel Universal, "Eddie's Night Out" a laugh pro- voker and 'The Topical Budget' complete the picture end of the bill. The vaudeville is the best obtain- able. Wolford's animals in a swell act which bubbles with good mon- key comedy, clever work by some almost human canines and novel stunts in the form of dog reading headed the bill It is one of the 'best animau acts on the variety stage and i§ sure of a warm recep-" tion.
