He said foreign circulation of periodicals and newspapers tends to cause a drift- ing away from Canadian ideals, which is not for the good of the country. Mr Geo.

Two dis- tinct and separate parties coincidently chose the same night to operate. The first and smaller party started off at 9.15, with two ear-splitting ex- plosions which shook the store as an earthquake. Following this, and slightly out of time were two circular saws, one camp-bell, several cow-bells, tin whistles, mouth organs, and Ox- drift lungs. ; After about fifteen minutes, the second party, some 34 strong, arrived in cars and added to the music. Mr and Mrs J., however, like Brer Rabbit, just lay low and said nothing until an entrance was effected hy Mr J. Adams, jr., accompanied by circular saw and friends, through the bed-room window when forty-five people were crowded into the kitchenette and bed- room, the gentleman with the saw caused much panic by rushing up and down the crowded stairs, and he was likened (not unjustly) to a porcupine. Jack and Mrs. Skene did handsomely by the revellers, and after cigars and chocolate bars had been handed round' adjourned to the Community Hall, where a dance was held until 1.30 a.m. The music (?) on the platform con- sisted of Mr F. Potter at the piano, Messrs J. Crerar, M. Gamble, and N. Jackson on the violins, and the Oxdrift irresponsibles on the circular saw and cowbells. Mrs C. A.
