Rickart, Sports Activities Softball has played a tremendous part in the sports activities of this past week, Many station league and training wing league games held, and the sportsmanship enthusiasm was high, Our officers team visited Clinton officers team this week a view to bringing home softball honors—and the score of 40-1G for our Officers proved rather decisive. The game was packed with fun and laughs. Port Albert visited here this week with their soccor and softball team, and the Centralia aggregation suf­ fered defeat at the hands of both teams. At the moment the scores are not available, but the Port Al­ bert boys won by a good margin. Time to spruce up, boys—we’ll take those Pt, Alberter’s yet.

The opera was work and one of ticularly proud, lovely as any that Mozart left in operatic form. The subject of the opera is based, in part, on a mythology derived from Egypt. In the overture there are apparent references to Masonic symbolism. The great chords in brass in the slow introduction are said to have Masonic significance. [ bring the schedule up to date, Main- In the main body of the overture ‘ tenance team hold the position on there the first presented by the violins becomes the subject of ingenious and highly developed fugal treat­ ment; the second is given out by the flute, but in association with reference to the first theme. The significance of the three trombone chords, which first come to atten­ tion in the introduction, was then recalled in a short section played with gravity and impressively slow rhythm; then followed the compli­ cated and brilliantly developed sec­ tion devoted to exploitation of the given thematic material. Next we had the Concerto in D Minor for orchestra and violin by Sibelius, the solo violinist being Heifitz. Sibelius specialized in the violin as a student and it is, as musicians say, “his instrument.” Yet, in its usual manifestations, it is not his instrument at all for, with customary individuality, he makes it utter speech quite different, though not less interesting, from what we usually expedt. The Con­ certo well illustrated Sibelius’ in­ dividual treatment of the violin, and as played by Heifetz and London Philharmonic Orchestra ducted by Sir Thomas Beecham very much enjoyed. The first singer was Caruso sang “Lend Me Your Aid” 1 Gounod’s opera “Queen of Sheba.” Caruso’s fame needs no introduction and this reproduction of one of his recordings brought out most of the qualities of his wonderful voice. Handel, who had to fight against parental discouragement, eventually made many influential friends in his own country, in* Italy and in England, and it was his Music Suite” and the story is that this Suite was written to placate his erstwhile patron, the Elector of Hanover who became the King of England. The King was so pleased with the Suite that he forgave the errant Handel. The next singer was Marian Anderson, contralto, who sang “It Is Fulfilled” from the St. John Passion by Bach. Bach’s musical career was very closely linked to the church from his entry intp a church choir at the age Of fifteen conducted by Ar- Mozart’s last great which he was par- The music is as the con- was av ho from “Water Bilious Attacks Liver Complaint Biliousness is jtist another name for a clogged or sluggish liver.

As tong as the Village would undertake that it was avail­ able for some patients, and some attention given to sick people, then she was satisfied, In effect, she said, “I will make a start.

Taylor, D.L The Editor Times-Advocate Exeter, Ontario Dear Sir; For some our Council the offer of Gidley in her Will of the Gidley residence on William Street to be used as a hospital. I understand the Executors are asking for an answer now, although by the terms of the Will the Coun­ cil still has some months ahead of them to make their decision. Since I was well acquainted with the late Charles Gidley and his wife and drew the Will in question, a few words from me may not be considered out of place. Mr. and Mrs. Gidley I believe lived all their lives in or near Exe­ ter. They were a charming couple. There were no children. Mr. Gidley was a helpless invalid for many years prior to his death. Mrs. Gid­ ley was his faithful nurse and at­ tendant. She seldom left the house except when she was obliged to do so in order to look after their vari­ ous wants. Mr, Gidley spent his days in bed or sitting in an invalid’s chair in their living room. He could not move without assistance. If he suffered I never heard him com­ plain. He was always bright cheerful, read a great deal was always glad to see visitors discuss with them the news of day and any matters of interest. No doubt his helplessness was always a great concern- to Mi’s. Gidley and himself. What would happen should Mrs. Gidley ill or be taken away? I do not imagine Mrs. ever saw the inside of one modern hospitals, nor could she have any idea of the cost involved in erecting and running them. Gohsequently, a modern hospital, with all its equipment to handle all kinds Of cases under all circum­ stances, never entered her head when making her Wilk She knew about home nursing. Many of het friends ahd neighbors had the same experience.
