,g $ The bossy woman enters. She has nothing but her own ego to commend her. No matter who may be at the wicket she barges in and commands attention. We know her kind so well. Then there is the gentle old man who makes such a ceremony of openâ€" ing the box. His keys are minutely surveyed. He selects the bunty, ridâ€" zod box key, peers through the glass to make sure his effort will not be in vain and happily satisfied, finally opens it He takes out the mail, zeatly closes the box. After carefully buttoning his ccat he carries the letâ€" ters to the window for an excmng‘ survey of the contents. One can easâ€" ily feel tha importance of this mom-| ing ceremony. The young miss comes stalking in on ber high heels with air aloof so common to adolescents. She peers into the box but one can casily seo the contents are not of great concerm to her. A side glance takes in the crowd. She spies a schâ€" col mate and nonchalantly offers a "Hello."

It was fascinating and as the different expressions and actions of the townsfolls impressed â€" themselves on our mind, we could not help but feel the significance of the kaleidoâ€" stope of individual impulses that go to make up a town. A good concepâ€" tion of the average life may be gainâ€" ed in a fiiteen minute vigil.

Your inner tubes are all 0. K. and thank the Lord they stay that way. Your spark plugs never miss and fuss: your motor never makes us cuss. Your frame is gocd for many a mile: yourbody never changes style. Your wants are few and easy met : you‘ve something on the au to yet.

This was done in response to half a dozen petitions from the various lines of business affected. These pe titions were signed by a majority of those interested in each case. The grocers had a petition in also, but it was not sufficiently signed. The furâ€" niture dealers had no petition.

And so it goes on, day in and day. out. The life of our town rolls in and out these two big swing doors and how little we really know about :t all. Some folks think that to see life and obtain a wellâ€"rounded viewpeint. cne must travel. Nine times out of ten it would be the same as going to New York to buy orchids. _ Human nature is the same the whole year around.

A popâ€" ular move was playing the numbers from various operas asked for. His memory feat as well as technique dsplayed shows the result of patient hours and perseverance. Friday evening the Hawailans enâ€" tertaincd delightfully and the kindest memories linger of their sweet music. Albert Vierra who appeared in perâ€" son with his notable company of five has been acclaimed throughout Eurâ€" cpe and America for his artistic presâ€" entation of Hawaiian music. He has the secret of portraying these meloâ€" dies as they should be played and maintains a high standard of musical excellence in his companies. His acâ€" companist was ‘Sally‘, a native of the Philippines, and he proved the ‘hit‘ of the night. The speaker, Dr. Elwood Bailey, has been on many Chautauqua circuits and it is because of his popularity as a speaker, that he has so many repeat engagements. True, sarcasm bristles in his addresses but if the cap does not fit you don‘t wear it. His address was based on Life, comparing it toa On Friday afternoon Mr and Mrs Albert Vierra with their company of Hawailans gave a most enjoyable half hour of music and Mrs Vierra then took the audience for a trip to the Hawaiian Islands and in a free and pieasing manner, told of the lives and customs of these happy peoâ€" ple. his facts wth telling force. make the roadbed safe. _ He hits straight from the shoulder and by anecdote and incident drove home (Continued from Page 1) band. In a time of need, her brotherâ€" inlaw designing this, put in a call for her husband (unknown to her) to come to her. The reconciliation was dramatic as well as happy and thus they surmounted their differences and lived a new life. The actors were finished players and the whole play carried a wholesome moral. Can. Chautaagua Present Varied Programs Less could be said against the agitation if the aim were to abolish training schools in hospitals not of the standardized variety. Some are no doubt poorly equipped and are struggling along. A standard hospiâ€" tal must be one of at least fifty beds and possess all modern equipment, including an xâ€"ray machine and a laâ€" boratory. Renfrew‘s has everything necessary for standard rank except a laboratory and no doubt‘this will come in the not distant future, perâ€" haps after the installation of silencer material throughout the building, a work which has just begun. If there are now too many nurses in the province to admit of all hayâ€" ing employment it is well to rememâ€" ber the twentieth century Florence Nightingale is not the only one affectâ€" ed by the present economic condiâ€" tions. _ The nurses have plenty of company in their trouble. No one can say nurses lack employment because of lack of qualifications. The reason is that there are tco many of them for the present demand. Yet in this agiation the implication is that only those trained in the larger instituâ€" tions are of high standard, which is an altogether erroneous assumption. â€"Renfrew Mercury. transit through the machinations ‘of were partners in an aeroplane transit company. The play‘abounded in humâ€" orous situations and surprises. The agitation which has sprung up in Ontario for the abolition of trainâ€" ing schools for nurses in connection with all hospitals except those of 75 bed capacity ought to fail and no doubt will fail. _ However there is need for constant vigilance on the part of the smaller hospitals. The big ones will rob them of privileges if they could and concentrate the hospitals in the cities, where one fault of the hospitals now is that they are too largeâ€"so large as to be unwieldy. Without training schools the smaller horpitals could not carry on. All nurses would require to be graduate nurses, thereby adding very materialâ€" ly to the cost of operating and operaâ€" ting expenses are now very generally known to be as high as people care to pay. Many sick people cannot enâ€" ter hospitals at all as pay patients : therefor enter them as indigents, leaving municipalities to foot the bill. e DURHAM, ONT. Telephone 6 C.
