Batteries For Emergencies
Three rows of storage batteries are constantly "standing by" .
in the basement of Clinton's new dial telephone building. In the
event of a failure' in the normal hydro supply, the batteries
automatically take over, keeping the telephone system in opera-
tion. At the same time, a diesel generator swings into action
to generate poWer to serve the exchange should the hydro supply
not be back on before the storage batteries are exhausted.

The two robbers are taken from
the dungeon, to be crucified, and
then offstage is heard the voice of
Pilate (Rev. A. G. Eagle) and the
mob, in the trial scene -of Jesus.
It begins to dawn upon Barabas
that he is going to be saved. The
climax of the play is when' he real-
izes that he is saved in more than
just body. He realizes that the
power of God is sufficient for his
release from sin and fear.
!Properties for this play which
was put on in the church, were
looked after by Stewart Schoen,
hals, Ross Miller, John and George
Levis. Lighting effects were creat-
ed by George Colclough, Curtains
were looked after by Bill Gibbings
and Fred Taylor. Costuming was
done by Miss Grant, Mrs, Schoen-

To Bayfield
Fiberglass Boat
".Cruisin' Down the Riven" was
a reality for Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Epps last Sunday, when they
boarded their fibreglass boat on the
Bayfield River, and starting from
the Stanley Bridge paddled their
way along to Bayfield. •
Equipped with life belts (which,
they did not have to use) and
dressed warmly, with rubber boots,
the young couple set forth. They
were stuck once, between a pair
of rocks, but pushed themselves
clear and were on their way again.
The -Bayfield River is only navi-
gable in flood time, but members
of the Epps' family have made the
trip twice before. Once it was in
a rubber dinghy. .
Mr. Epps reports that this was
the first time his wife had made
the trip, and that she enjoyed- it
thoroughly. Time? Four and one
half hour's between Clinton and
Bayfield.

The religious play, "Release," by
Dorothy Clark Wilson, was out-
standingly presented' in Ontario
Street United Church on Easter
Sunday evening,,by an inspired
caste, under the irection of Rev.
and Mrs. A. G. Eagle, Written by
that well-known author, Dorothy
Clark Wilson, who has gained wide
recognition for her biblical novels
-and plays, "Release" had quite an.
impact upon its audience.
The scene was a dungeon be-
neath the palace of Pilate, and the
action takes place during the ar-
rest and trial of Jesus., To each
of three wooden crosses in this
dungeon, a roan is chained by the
Centurion (Jack McKnight) and
another Roman soldier, (Bob Law-
son). They are Dysmas, one of
the robbers (Kenneth Malkin'son) ;
Sothmes, the second robber (Clif-
ford Pratt); and Barabas (Stan
McDonald). The story is based on
the reaction of these men to facing
death by crucifixion, for ail three
have been condemned to death.
Mara, the mother of Barabas
(Mrs. Clifford Pratt) and his sis-
ter Tamah (Mrs. A. G. Eagle)
come on the scene 'and discover
the boy for whom they had search-
ed for years. They remind him of
what he had been -as a boy.
