THE COLUMNIST During many years of my life I have been prone to play up to small town stuff. Let me take my own way to explain what 1 mean. I am old enough to remember three types, grades or classes, as you wish the' definition, of eciti- zens, all different. = There was the country moss-back, the more blasé, but still slightly unsophis- ticated, villager, and the city slicker. And a great gulf yawn- ed between. I know, because, in turn, IT have been a Brummel, a Bumpkin and a Babbitt. I have gawped at city sights, sneered at the country softy and experienced the smug respect- ability of the small town. And, being mostly from the small town, I have played up, to re- peat 'the expression, to audiences in the city who have been favor- ed with my addresses. Talking, in these places, to service clubs or lodge conven- tions, I have deprecated my or- atory, my appearance, enlarged upon my gaucherie, because I came from a small place, and as such a visitor, craved pardon for presumption, speaking to such up-to-date, clever men of the world, embodying brains and "savoir faire." And my chair- man has sometimes taken me at my word, privately whispered to him beforehand, and introduced me somewhat as follows: "We have with us today Mr. X. who seems somewhat' nervous, but I want to assure him that no mat- ter what he says or how poorly he says it, he is among friends."' -- -- There was the small town inferiority complex carried to the nth degree, I will admit now, that per- sonally, it was hypocritical, but it seemed then to be necessary. I really do not now what moti- vated me, except perhaps, and in the explanation, I am harder on myself than anyone else could possibly be, I wanted people to think, that granted I did come from the country, I was unique in my genius and ability. But, taking it from the phy- sical side, our boys, girls, men and women showed the country seam whenever they visited the big place. Their hats, boots and clothing stamped them bucolic. The story of the finger bowl, and a thousand other incidents, made. matter for the comic papers and the "rube'" caused many a laugh, But all this has changed. Our girls wear the sheerest, sheeniest hose, the most daring dabs of hats, and the corset trade is dead in the country store. I do not know what has done it. At least, there is no room here to go into the reason. But, the ehange has come and the former gulf is bridged or closed entirely. : So. that, today, I am really not "small town stuff" when I tell, that, with several hundred more of you, I went to see ""(Javaleade," and to ask you to ask yourselves what 'you thought about it. Because, in the New York ¢'Stage,"' of March, refer- ence is made to its being shown on Broadway with seats sold for months ahead. Not so far behind, little old Dryden? I leave you to judge whether this is modernism or the super enterprize of our local cinema magnate.

'With all this apology, pro- logue and preparation for the subject, there is little space left for criticism of the picture. I do wish, though, that people would keep quiet at the show, but they are no worse here than in the city. One lady, behind me, said "There's. Trafalgar Square and the lions!" ington on top of the column!' But I knew she knew that al- ready. Anyhow, I never open my mouth at a talkie, except to slip in the odd peppermint. What did I think of "Cawval- cade?" Well, come around some time and I will tell you. Let me give you something about Noel Coward that, per- haps, you do not know. He's very cosmopolitan and exceed- ingly versatile. He is Playwright, Actor, Composer, Director, Pro-| ducer, Singer, Dancer and Town Wit. You heard what he wrote for forty cents. In New York it would have cost you three times as much. Which, as T said at the be- ginning, is small town stuff. £) ED () SBD) SED.

It was Mili- tary Whist of course, and it ap- peared to be continued somewhat longer than usual. The cause for this was apparently the ab- breviation of the program owing to the absence of the star per- former, Miss May Quirk, who was still in hospital. = All May's friends are pleased to know that she is now progressing favorably at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ernewein. However the enter- tainment was quite good and commenced with a piano duet excellently rendered by Miss A. M. Boiteau and Miss J. Reid, and was followed by a comedy rural sketch entitled "An Ar kansaw Swap."" A poor farmer (Fred Yaworski) was beguiled by the mercantile cunning of an astute storekeeper (James Rig- and butter in exchange or a drink of vinegar and to give the district, spicy and otherwise into the bargain. Miss Evelyn Strutt and Miss Mona Morris each gave vocal solos, Miss Boiteau accom. panying. The accordian solos by Mario Milanese were quite 4 novelty and much appreciated. . The Fashion Parade was very pretty and was performed by the same little ones who took part in it when it was 'first shown in Dryden a few weeks ago and was under the super- vision of Miss M. Morris. If Miss Morris has any more notions for the display of juvenile artless- ness such as this, they will sure- ly be appreciated in Dryden. The C.W.I. always serve ap- petising refreshments and made ne exception on this oceasion. While these were being disposed of, Rev. W. M. Clarke picked the Iucky ticket which fell to Tiouis Sfreddo, who took home the bacon. The first whist prizes consisted of two doilies and bath towels and face cloth for the ladies and a clothes brush hold- er each for the gentlemen. They Mrs. Christienson and Messrs. A. Sfreddo and W. Rutter. The consolation prizes were] 'onest room powder puffs for the ladies and cigarette lighters for Mrs. Faubert and Miss MecGone- gal and Messrs. J. Strutt and M. Caderio. : "Cavalcade" drew the largest more than any other picture that has ever been shown here. The theatre was packed to capa- city for the three nights ""Caval- cade" was shown and everyone of the hundreds attending who went expecting a lot, left the theatre thoroughly satisfied. = T41 really was Sy FUNERAL OF ANDREW BORUP ' May the Sth w will be a memor- able date to the community of Dyment and its vast rural dis- trict in the tragic and pathetic event of laying to rest the hody of Andrew Borup, whose death through a canoe accident, was felt as a "sunset touch."' There is no need to eulogise the deceased, for the large gath- ering and floral tributes sent. speaks louder than words. . The Rev. J. W. Howes condue- ted. 'the service, while Mr. A. Kewley read a portion of the Seripture. Rev. Howes delivered eloquently a most pipe address using Woodsworth ' words in, the course of his x dress "A deep regret hath humanized my soul." : The presence of a very large number of Orangemen was very impressive, and the County Mas- iter together with their Chaplain, 'Rev. W. M. Clarke, part service at the ""Requisent in Christo.' THE CANADIAN LEGION SOCIAL The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Legion is a very helpful organi- zation as all Ladies' Auxiliaries are, and is deserving of all the patronage and assistance possible. The Dryden Branch of the Legion endeavored to entertain the ladies on Monday evening, April 7th, in a social gathering at the Mill Hall. The Legion's Entertainment Committee are to be congratulated : in prevailing upon Mr. A. Pitt to act as chair- man. Mr. Pitt is a highly es- teemed honerary member and under his care and guidance, those present appeared to enjoy themselves immensely. He regret- ted the absence of Mr. Winter- bottom, the President, who is still in hospital, but informed his hearers that he was progressing satisfactorily. It was a really sociable party, comprising community singing and some vocal and instrumental items, (Continued on Page 4) conducted grave. neglect your INSURANCE 4 E.

There was a splendid attendance, the hall being crowded for the occasion. A deep gloom was cast over the assemblage owing to the sudden and tragic death Brother Andrew C. Borup, which occurred that day and a com. mittee was at once appointed to visit the home of the deceased brother to extend sympathy to the bereaved parents.
