EXETER WILL LIKELY BE CALLED “SWBLLED-HEADED” Some of the church people of the Woodham-Kirkton community of both the United and Anglican con gregations, have undertaken- some thing considerably heavier than the usual three-act play this year, by tackling a regular Musical Comedy. The attempt was largely influenc ed by the fact that there- is a lot of fine talent for singing as well as acting in tbe community, and they have never yet had a chance to com bine the two into one production. However it is apparently progress ing even better than they had hoped and will be ready in another couple- of weeks. The Mills Brothers and Paul family ate being featured in it, both of whom you have heard over the radio. This Musical Comedy “Rosalie Runs Riot” Is by the same author as “My China Doll” and Other Broadway successes. It carries a heavy royalty, so their attendance will have to -be a record one to let them out. We hope it "will be; such efforts ou-ght hot to go- nn-observed, At any rate, the show is clean and charming and the audience should feel al! the hotter tor having seen the result, Od also to know the money goes to missions, Good luck! 1931 Chevrplet Coach 1929 Chevrolet Sedan 1929 Pontiap Coach 1933 Plymouth Coupe 1930 Ford Model A Coupe 1927 Oldsmobile Coach 1929 Ford Delux Coupe 1934 Chevrolet H.

Approximately a year ago it was taken over as a county road and it was hoped that it would be given more attention than previous ly under township jurisdiction, but, contrary to expectations, it has been practically ignored. It is to- be hoped that the two county councils concerned will give this road the attention it badly re quires in the near future so that this summer it will not be left in the deplorable condition of recent years.
