But there are head office expeliges. railway fares, hotel bills and sundry other ex- enses that must be considered. > » It may be safely said that na good concert can be staged in Port Perry for less than $100.00. Chautauqua entertainments are good. The attendance proves what the people think of Chau- tauqua. Those who have had anything to do with the concerts will know that it is very easy to spend $100 for an entertainment to be put on in the Town Hall and the results to be very inferior. Chautauqua brings us the best at comparatively small cost. And that cost is spread over the community so that nobody feels the expenses keenly. The majority of those who attend Chautauqua would not have the opportunity of hearing such entertainers and speakers under any other conditions. ) One word about the matter of sending so much money out of town. It is good to know that qur people are beginning to con- gider this matter of spending money away from home, because it is an unusual week when our citizens do not spend $700 or $800 in Oshawa, Toronto, or elsewhere for goods that could be bought at' home, frequently at just as low a price and of as good quality as is the case of the goods brought in from the outside. If Chautauqua can send any large amount of money to the United States after paying the transportation, hotel and other expenses of the organization, then they are extremely good financiers. The most difficult people for some folk to understand, ap- parently, are those who serve humanity well for a reasonable re- twenty persons, four of are with us for nearly a So much for Chautauqua spigit, finances, and general ar- rangements. If Port Perry as a whole does not wish to assume the responsibility of bringing Chautauqua here again that settles the matter; but it is a misfortune to lose such good education at such small cost to the individual. This year Chautauqua has been good all the way through. The entertainers have been particularly fine. We commenced with the Melody Trio, a most versatile company, whose program was a delight. Miss Swanson, cellist, has a wonderful mastery, of her instrument, Miss Dyer-had a most surprisingly attractive repertoire, and. Miss Betty Watson's violin selections were greatly appreciated. oO : " At night the Marko Company kept us busy gaping with wide eyed astonishment or laughing at the ludicrous situations which arose in the program of "Magic and Mystery." A few "wise ones" f said that the show wasn't "so bad" but most of us were unfeigned- ly amazed and pleased. ; : Next came the Columbus Entertainers. Miss Beatrice Baugh- man did us real service in reading Grace Richmond's story "Christmas in the Morning"; and Miss Hoover maintained the high standard in her violin solos. Geoffrey F. Morgan's lecture "Success with Ease" was good. True we knew all he had to tell us before he spoke, but we need to be told "the story often, for we forget so soon." And more- over, he dressed these time honoured truths in new words and illustrated with fresh yet homely pictures, making the truths live again and inspiring all to more wholesome views of life. : Saturday's program will stand out as the best in the series. Bhaskar Hivale is a cultured Indian gentleman with a clear, well balanced, temperate mind, who presents the pictures of his "mother land" India in such a way that you feel that for the first time you have the facts of the case. It would be a most healthful influence if such men as Mr. Hivale could be heard throughout Canada." Yet strange to say Mr. Hivale, a loyal British subject is oly allowed in Canada at all because an American citizen vouches that he will return to the United States within a stated time. Verily, the ways of Governnient are past finding out, and labor unions sometimes have a greater influence with them than oes a proper sense of justice. It is peculiar that while the native India was very geceptable as a volunteer during the Great War, at which time he fought side by side with the British soldiers today he is treated with-indignity and like an undesirable citizen must leave this country (where freedom is suposed to live) within time. : : Of "Cappy Ricks" mueh might be written; but the big thing -| of the four actors was a star.

Sometimes we lack vision but we know little of the feverish, nasty wickedness that at times seems to be swallowing the decency and good sense of a certain class of city dwellers. It is questionable if the extreme statement of this phase of life-is really valuable in rural communities. ; A feature of Chautauqua that is most valuable is the train- ing that the little folks receive from Miss Amunsden, the story hour girl. Every morning from oné hundred to one hundred and fifty children were entertained by stories and taught to use their hands in making fancy and useful articles of the kindergarten type.. They finished their series of meetings by putting on a concert themselves. ; While Chautauqua will not show a profit this year, the loss has been quite small and will not materially lessen the profits of Exit Chautauqua. Shall we have it again? If not, what can we secure, that is as good, or better, in its place? Beautiful Kent Gardens are Port Perry's Fine Show Place NOTE--This unsolicited article in praise of Port Perry ap- peared in the Lindsay Post and this courtesy from a neighboring newspaper will be much appreciated by our citizens. A number of Lindsay citizens have taken advantage of visit- ing the "Kent Gardens" at Port Perry. This spot is a little difficult to get at just now, because of the conditions of the roadways in and about the village of Port Perry. The pretty little lakeside village has made up its mind to have a better class of roadways and streets and has gone in for street improvements on a big scale. We believe something like $35,000 in cool cash is to be spenf*on these improvements and from the size of the piles of crushed stone, sand, gravel and cement they have gathered it looks as though they were determined to have the best paved highways in the province. The civic officials are to be congratulated on this spirit of enterprise. Port Perry is a pretty little town; it enjoys an ideal" situation, offering its residents and visitors every opportunity for the enjoyment of life. It has many beautiful homes surrounded by well kept gardens, both vegetable and flower, with, trim lawns. It has an excellent high school and public school; a very efficient waterworks system has been installed and we believe it is their intention to improve and extend this, and in connection with this system they enjoy quite efficl®nt fire protection. : At the foot of its main street a splendid pier reaches out into the lake giving an excellent accommodation to the numerous small craft that dot the surface of the lake. They have also utilized a small area at the wharf to accommodate visiting motor- ists. A parking space has been set off and a sign invites the passing motorist to make fee to use this space. Tables are pro- vided to the little motor parties to have a convenient place to sit and enjoy their lunch. This convehience has attracted motorists and the town is reaping considerable dircet benefit, as well as having its hame written large throughout the country by those motorists who have been so courteously treated and so thoughtfully provided for. There is such a thing as civic courtesy and the community that practices it will be amply rewarded. Another little spot that deserves mention is the little green sward with its club house, bearing the letters P.P.L.B.C.--Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club. The bowlers of the town are a spléndid lot of fellows and they take great pride in their green, and they are ready most any even- ing to give visiting bowlers a good time on the green. The Kent Gardens . But now let us say something about the Kent Gardens. This is certainly the show place of the little town and hundreds, yes thousands of people have feasted their eyes and souls upon the beauty of color and rich fragrance of the flower garden, through the generosity of the proprietor, Mr. Fred A. Kent, who has thrown wide his gates and invited his neighbours and friends and the general public to come in and enjoy with him the beauty of reen sward, the charm of beautiful trees with their wide-spread- " ing limbs and splendid foliage, and then the delightful flower garden filled with all manner of bloom, but chiefly roses, iris and penoias. The flower gardens proper are flanked with beautiful terraces with steps leading down to the flower plots. The scheme apparently follows the Italian and French systems, and lends and attractiveness and charm that is perfectly delightful A complete water system is being installed throughout the lawns, and tiny sprinkling fountains throw forth their tiny sprays here and there will add further charm to this garden of the Fairies.
