| your_EvEs \Another Police Alarm The Local Council of. Women will hold their regular monthly meeting as a joint gathering with the University Women‘s Club next Monday afterâ€" noon, April 27th, in the town hall at , 245 o‘clock. Mrs. Ainslie will speak ‘ on current events in connection with gi the l,eafue of Nations, and Miss Roberta Emberson will provide musiâ€" cal numbers. _ Jack Barnes, guest speaker, will give a travelogue on his bicycling tour through Germany, France and England, This promises to be a very interesting meeting and a good attendance is hoped for. and physically fit to keep pace with Kh!m-oviumld. fiisnvall known fact that the proper amount of physical exercise taken in a methodiâ€" ctl{ systematic way is god for anyâ€" one. The method and the amount of exercising should be according to the requirements and rhy-len\ condition of the individual.â€" In this respect the eye is no different from the rest of the body. Around the outside of each eyeball there are six muscles which p control the movements of the eyeball, and the two eyes must move exactly together or we see double. If one or two of these twelve muscles became weakened, in any way, as the{ often do, m.kinf an unbalanced condition of the muscles of the eyes, an extra strain is put on the muscles to keep the e{es working perfectly together. This is the cause of many heaglche«. Often these weakened muscles can be brought back to normal strength by means of proper exercises, which are prescribed after a careful diagnosis + of the condition. â€" Exercises which would further strengthen the stronger museles . would only increase the Â¥trouble. Do not let anlyone lead you to beâ€" lieve that visual defects can be corâ€" rected by exercises. Exercises are to develop the muscles which turn the eyes. As we mentioned two weeks ago, the eye is very similar to a camera. If one swings a camera around several times each day it does not improve the camera, but it does develop the muscles in the arm which swings the camera, Vigorous exercise should not be given eyes which are defective in any other way, until the other trouble is corrected; no more than a fatigued, weakened person should take the exâ€" ercise of one in perfect condition.

By this time: 1 should be as blase about them as New York is about opera. But this little chorus in the St. John Parish hall, with a cold coal stove at one end and a hot conductor, minus coat and vest, collar and tie, at the other, was a new sensation, Such a scene in Russia, or Germany, might have been a sensational soundâ€"shotl in a fine movie. But it was only Weston, Ont., having one more go at good music; getting things out of printed scores that they never knew could be in them; producing tonal, emoâ€" tional, humorous effects from these vocal sccres that we usually expect from an orchestra; forgetting about radio, _ business worries, unemployâ€" ment if any, or even the cold hall . . . because the man in front, with his wife at the pianoâ€"mainly for kev tones and chordsâ€"was doing with their voices what Toscanini . ofr Stokowski does with instruments in an orchestra; what Svengali in the old‘ Du _ Maurier novel did with the voice of Trilby; making words and tones into revelations of meaning; sounds sometimes as soft as the slow swish of calm water on a beach . . . suddenly a hurricane in the treeâ€" tops . .. "A Jov to Us" "Of course Bruce Metcalf was just playing on his chorus as though it were a piano or an organ. But from this 85â€"voiced choral instrument he was Rflfix toneâ€"effects which he never heard from a keyboard, and the singers Were as much inspired as he was. "We‘ve _ been _ rehearsing _ fout months only," he said to me as the men lit cigarettes for a short rest. "We hope our concert will be to the audience at least a fraction of the joy these rehearsals are to us. We‘re just exploring choral music. Next vear, with a bigger chorus, we can do bigger works. All 1 wanted to do this season was to show what a choir can do, free to express what there is of thrills in good music, and their own Godâ€"given voices. "That‘s all any of us get out of it, and all we want. If we pn{ exâ€" penses, that‘s all we‘re after. If we make a little moneyâ€"out it goes for music, This is a purely amateut chorus. We love music for what we discover it means to make us forget the humdrum of being alive, and beâ€" cause in an age of so much dialâ€"twistâ€" ing and listening, it‘s after all one of the greatest joys to make music for o-ruelm,”-â€"A'nmflh.
