DANCE I The dance in the Town Hall Tuesday night under the aus- pices of the L.O.B:A. was well attended and a splendid time enjoyed. The Boy's Orchestra supplied excellent music and the lunch was also worthy of men- tion, the sandwiches made from Stansfield's products being just a little bit better than anything so far. ; +1 As a result of the evening the L.O.B.A. will be able to forwar:! over thirteen dollars to the Protestant Orphanage in Mani- toba. : ir A fancy ball was purchased as a prize for the Whist tables to be forwarded to Winnipeg from the winner but as no play- ers were on hand the ball was forwarded from the Lodge mem- bers. i The ladies wish to thank all helpers and hope for another good time at a later date. !

Colourful lighting effect drew crowds from all nooks and cor- ners of the town. Dainty lunches and soft drinks quenched the thirst and eliminated hunger of all who visited the lunch count- er. Loquacious boosters drew the fun-seekers to the antique fish pond, to the Hoopla--and the over crowded Bingo booths. Valuable assorted prizes were at the choice of the lucky ones, and many an anxious eye sought out ear rugs, novelty clocks, and many other useful pieces of furniture, glass ware and china. The afternoon afforded the children a. barrell. full of fun, the fish pond drew crowds of tots who fished to their hearts content without danger of drow- ning. Supper was served on the grounds by the ladies, the menu consisting of delicious - salads, cakes, and tea or coffee. As the evening drew on and the leaden eyelids of Morphius threw a dark viel over the earth, 'myriads of coloured lights illuminated the grounds and trees so that many a eager child's heart fluttered with an- ticipation of Santa Claus. About 10 o'clock the crowds began to 'dwindle and the 11th hour: bar gains were snatched off by the more aggressive bargainers. In all, the whole scene was a success financially andotherwise, the committee in charge were well pleased with the "outeome and believe they will make it an annual event. M.S.

The highest scientific authori- ties have repeatedly asserted that the necessity for diversion from our every-day life of toil and troubles is mire impertant than even. food. This fact is fully appreciated by all for the young people who are develop- ing. But the real tragedy lies with the middle-aged people, who are old only because of the fact that they have been forced to do without these things and, consequently, have lost their sense of need. A comparison of available statistics bears out the statement of those leading scien- tists--more people enter our Asylums each year than grad- uate from our Universities. Over the sixty years of Chau- tauqua experience in Hastern Canada and the United States, Chautauqua had its greatest at- tendance during years of depres- sion. = People came to enjoy the Joan and forget their troub- es. The Chautauqua is determined not to fall in the rut so many organizations and people have, but instead are going to have the greatest 'roundup' of drama music, gong and inspiration ever 'corralled' under the big brown Chautauqua season in Dryden starts Friday, August 7th, and continues with two performan- ces daily until the evening of Thursday, August 13th. You will be there of course.
