H. H: Coleman, M.A., presiding. The annual financial statement for the year ending March 31st, 1925, was presented by the wardens and approved. The statement was very satisfactory, showing the funds of the church to be In somewhat better shape than they were a year ago, notwithstanding the fact that quite a number of generous contributors had passed away. Due to the good work of the Church Women's Guild, $800 has been paid on the debt of the rectory, in addition to contributions to other objects for the benefit of the church. The Sunday school and other bran- ches of the church's activities are in excellent condition. The number of communicants at the Easter Day celebrations was the lar- gest om record. . W. 8. Herrington, K.C., vicars warden, was re-appointed for the en- suing year, and Willit Dollar was again elected as the people's war- den. The secretary was asked to con- vey to the vestry of St. John's, Bath, the sympathy of this vestry in their recent loss by fire of their an- cient church. The lay representatives to Synod from this parish are T. B. Wallace, G. F. Ruttan, K.C., and Willet Dol- lar. A most charming dance was given by the Swatsika Club in the Maso- nic rooms last night. There was a nice crowd, pretty 'decorations, splendid music and good refresh- ments. The Historical Soclety's last lec- ture for the season will be given on Friday, April 24th, and the subject will be "The Beginning of the World." Hugo Gleeson, Toronto University, is spending a few days with his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Gleeson, East street.

FAKE SUICIDE Roxine Serpa was mourned as dead when it was reported she had jumped to death in San Francisco Bay. Now it is learned that Roxine is alive in Canada and 'that 'her "death" was faked by Joseph Weber, who is Roxine's second husband. The fake suicide was tried to cover up the fact that Roxine had married Joseph without divorcing Serpa. Claims for insurance made by Serpa led to an expose of the fake suicide. Check Your Nose Cold Relief in 5 Minutes THE OLD POST OFFICE IS NOT SUITABLE For Extension of Gananoque High School--Would Relieve Congestion Only Temporarily. | Gananoque, April 14.--In going | further into the matter of purchase | of the old post office building for high school purposes, it is the opin- jon of several members of the Board that such a purchase would merely take care of the situajion temporar- ily and relieve the congestion for not more than a year or two. The enrollment for 1924-25 term was 204. Next September it is estimated there' will be fifty mew pupils and only about six going out making an estimated enrpllment for 1925-26 of 248. In buying the old post office building it was intended to make use of it as an extra class room and for physical culture exercises, but there is still another objection to the purchase of this building inasmuch as it would mean that part of the staff would be working apart from the principal. It is suggested by some of the members, therefore, that the best solution to the problem is an addition to the presenf® high school with a separate furnace that cculd be used as an auxiliary to the furnace in the present building in very cold weather. Such an addition would cost in the neighborhood of $25,000. There were special Easter gervifte in all the church here, all of which were largely attended. At the Pres- byterian Church Clarence Skinner was the soloist both morning and evening; at Grace church, W. B. Haynes of Oshawa and Mrs. L. R. Stedman were the soloists. 'The Pageant-Challenge of the Cross" which was put on after the regular services in the evening was an un- qualified success and reflected the highest credit on the following prin- cipals: Misses Dorcas Sullivan, Grace Richardson, Miss M. Carpen- ter, Marion Gilbert, N. Lake and Blythe Battams. Services at the An- glican church were most impressive and after the evening services a con- gregational meeting was held and ' the budget for the year ending 31st December, 1924, presented. There was a large attendance and the rec- tor, Mr. Barber, was congratulated upon the record number of com- municants at the earlier services. The number was something in excess of 300. At St. John's church the chil- *drens' choir rendered Monestell's Mass, which they have been practis- ing for the past six weeks under Miss ID. Heffernan and the organist Miss O'Neill. and the faultless manner in which it was rendered by these lit- tle folks was quite a revelation to the congregation. Miss Winnie Round, Brooklyn, N.Y., is home on a visit to her par- ents. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Delaney on Good Friday. Mrs. Harold McCarney and little Neil are visiting the former's par- ents in Tweed. Z Mrs. William Hawke motored to Toronto for the Easter holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nicholson, Kingston. W. McIntyre left on Saturday for Brooklyn, being called there on ac- count of the serious illness of his daughter Miss Mary. Little Misses Mary and Eliza- beth Wing left on Sunday for J, To- ronto to spend the Easter holidays with their grandmother, Mrs. D. Wing and their aunt, Mrs. David Drohan. Misses Mary Jeroy and Theresa Brennan of the Hotel Dieu staff spent Sunday here at their homes. Clifford Brown and William Bel- fie motored over from Detroit, Mich., on Saturday and will spend the next couple of weeks here at their homes. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. and"Mrs. Nelson Genge in the death of their baby. Mr. and Mrs, Harry Hawke and little Jean motored to Brockville Easter Sunday and met Mrs. Wiltsie, who had come on from Watertown for the day. While in Brockville they were the guests of Mrs. John Gibson and Dr. W. Gibson. Later in the day Dr. Gibson and his mother motored up to Gananoque and had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. George Gibson.
