EX-SERVICE MEN ENJOY MEET- ING AT PORT PERRY What was probably the outstanding event since the war as far as the ex- service men are concerned, took place at Port Perry, Thursday night. Two bus and several car loads of comrades of the Toronto Bell Telephone branch paid a visit to the local branch. It was a night long to be remembered by all who were present and did much to revive that old comradeship spirit. After the opening ceremonies four new memebrs were initiated by Port Perry branch following which a de- monstration of that "something" which made the Canadian army so justly famous, was experienced. All reserve was thrown to the winds and every comrade entered into the riot of good fellowship. Round after round of applause and song singing greeted each speaker and entertainer and it was often several minutes be- fore they could commence. The chief speaker of the evening, Capt. Nash, secretary of Toronto District Com., was introduced by comrade Tucker, of Toronto, and his address on the work of that branch of the Legion was something to be proud of, touching mostly upon the pension act and also the solution to unemployment, Comrade B. D. Henry, chairman of Port Perry executive, thanked the speaker for his address and called up- on all to assist in making Canada a country to be justly proud of. A pleasing ceremony then took place when President Scott, of Port Perry, called upon the secretary, Mr. Frank Mitchell, and presented him with a fountain pen as a token of ap- preciation from the comrades for his untiring efforts on behalf of the local branch. Old war songs were rendered by comrades of the Toronto branch _and it was like old times to hear the choruses sung by all the comradest Comrade O'Leary, vice-president of Toronto branch then proposed a vote of thanks to the Port Perry branch for inviting the Bell Telephone branch down and expressed in well A Crowded House sented by the Sunday School and Enjoys the Play-- "The Dust of the Earth" This very interesting play was pre- Young People's Society of the United Church in the Town Hall, last Friday evening. The hall was crowded, and THE STRAND THE - THEATRE UXBRIDGE "The Home of Clean Entertainment" Mon., Tues., Wed., May 12-13-14. "SAILORS DON'T CARE" a hilarious comedy sensation. Re- The outstanding features were the sustained and eager interest of the audience in the plot of the play; and the naturalnes of the actors. Each person in the cast of characters fitted in admirably with the part assigned 'and the whole production went through smoothly. 'The heroine--"The Dust of the Earth"--Miss Helen Vickery--had a aifficult part to play, combining hum- or, pathos, and drama; and she re- presented these emotional scenes well, securing and maintaining the appre- ciative interest of the audience. Mrs. Moore (Mrs. Geo. Jackson), and Elizabeth (Miss Grace Cawker), had very undesirable roles to play-- the unteeling aunt and cousin of "The Dust of the Earth." These parts they took most efficiently, adding to the troubles of the heroine, and only be- ing converted from their bitterness 'when they found that circumstances were too much for them. Mr. Moore (Rev. R. T. Richards) put life into what might be looked upon as a routine part, always main- 'taining his faith in his neice, "The Dust of the Earth." His first speech told the story back of the play, and opened the way so that the audience could easily follow the play. . "Wandering Tom" (Mr. R. B. Smallman) and "Old Mose": (Tom Harris) carried through a partnership that ended most happily for the heroine. They had difficult parts-- particularly "Wandering Tom" and they acted them well. "Mr. Ryder" Beverley Smallman), and "Dr. Templeton" (Ivan Wallace) finally came to a happy ending in their individual courtships, but cer- tainly the course of true love did not ber prizes given on Wednesday night, also good comedy included.

SHULMAN, Prep. bb MOTHER'S DAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED Last Sunday's services in the United Church made special reference to Mother's Day. In the morning a Mothers' Choir led the singing. In the afternoon a special service was held in the Sunday School, Mrs. W.A. Christy giving the address. The even- ing service was under the direction of the Young Men's Bible Class assisted by the orchestra. Rev. R. T. Rich- ards gave a stirring address to young men. THEIR CLOSING MEETING The Y. P. 8. of the United Church held their closing meeting on Tuesday evening, when a pleasing programme was given including piano solo by Mr. Fairweather, reading by Miss Marion Goode, and violin solo by Mr. V. P. Stouffer. Rev. Roy Rickard, of Pick- ering, took charge of the meeting, and conducted a number of camp fire stunts and games, concluding with a quiet talk setting forth the challenge and opportunity to young people. Refreshments were served, and Mrs. Wm. Real was presented with a silver comport in reeognition, of her practi- aal service to the Y. P.

Now remain that oddly assorted couple "Jerry" (Eric Nasmith) and "Arabella" (Miss Marian Farmer). The first was full of fun; and the latter was bubbling over with "news". These folk kept things lively at op- 'portune and inopportune times, and filled out the story like sweetmeats and cayenne pepper may complete a banquet, putting spice into the play. Two matters should be mentioned that helped to make the play a suc- cess. The first was the courtesy of the Greenbank people in lending the excellent scenery which so suitably graced the stage. The scenery for the first act was particularly ecective. The sécond matter was the practical help of the two ladies--Miss Grace Davis and Miss E. Harris--who direct ed the staging of the play. They will feel well repaid for their effort in the success which was achieved. Much of the pleasure of the even- ing's entertainment was contributed by the Sunday School Orchestra, which played some delightful selec- tions between acts. This play, by many requests, is to be given again on Wednesday evening May 21st. Watch for bills. Tell your friends. Be on hand. Many have said they will go to see the play ee QO NOTICE Messrs. A. W.
