Introduced by Winston Shap­ ton, president of the Junior Farmers, the concert followed the four* seasons with appropri­ ate songs and novel stage sett­ ings. The easiness of the stage settings provided a good back­ ground for the chorus of 35, dir­ ected by Harry Hern and accom­ panied by Agnes Bray at the piano. Beginning with chorus sang, "Winter Wonder­ land” and "Sleigh Ride” with a background pantomine showing four young people in a cutter on a snowy night. Then followed a Christmas Pageant picturing four angel’s, the Three Wise Men and Shepherds gathered around the kneeling form of Mary beside the Christ Child. Picking up the tempo again the scene changed and Father Time with the New Year in scanty clothes starting the new year right with the aid of the chorus. This was followed by a skating scene and "Whoops We Go Again” by the chorus and six skaters on stage. Next came Spring and a quilt­ ing scene pantomined to the mus­ ic of "Seeing Nellie Home” by the chorus. Solos by Harry Hern and Ross Dobson of admirable quality preceeded an Easter pageant and spring scenes show­ ing a very efficient Easter Bun-» ny daintily placing easter eggs under the flowers on stage from a little mauve waggon to the tune of "Here Comes Peter Cot- , ontail” by the chorus. May and June were featured by a May Pole Dance on stage, a solo, "June is Busting Out All Over” by Helen Shapto’\, and "In The Good Old SummlSl’time” by the chorus. Baseball "Casey ■picted on mentator the delight of the audience, fol­ lowed by solos by Harry Hern and Helen Shapton. As the Scene changed to Au­ tumn, the chorus sang "Shine On Harvest Moon” and a poem "The Goldenrod is .Yellow” was re­ cited -by Anna Rowcliffe. "Come To the Fair” highlighted by showing a refreshment booth at the fall fair. With full cast on stage, the programme came to an end with the singing of “You’re a Grand Old Flag”. at the winter, the to New Years At The Bat” was de­ stage while the com- read the old poem* to Mrs. Dashwood Couple 58 Years Wed On June 12 Mr. and Charles Burt of Manitoulin Is­ land, at present residing with a daughter, Mrs. Edward Turnbull of Dashwood, celebrated fifty-eighth^, weddingIn the ‘afternoon visited by Mr. and Porter and family, of the Burts when land and now Huron.

The Hensall-Exeter Women's Christian Temperance Union de­ clared at a meeting Tuesday they would support the Federa­ tion in case of a campaign to oust the CTA. They asked ministers to stand ready to give the same support. Repercussions Repercussions of Huron coun­ ty’s vote to ask repeal of the Canada Temperance Act may be heard in Perth and Peel, it was indicated by Warden Arthur Nicholson this "week. Mr. Nicholson said he had re­ ceived inquiries from at least one of these counties on the startling action of Huron to get rid of the old federal statute.

Visitors were present from the Seaforth Lodge, the service a served by the school parlors.I At the close of luncheon was order in the only ones in the province now under CTA. Meantime, observers are won­ dering what will be the result of the council’s move, According to Mr. Nicholson the CTA may be removed by the federal gov­ ernment without a vote, but this, he said, was doubtful. Huron reeves and deputies voted 19—IT to request the repeal of CTA. In the preamble, to the re­ solution sponsored by Reeves W. G. Cochrane, Exeter, of Seaforth, it was "the C.T.A. has been several years and it evident during the the said act is a most ineffective and unsatisfactory method of controling the sale, distribution and consumption of alcoholic beverages. "And, whereas the enforce­ ment of the provisions of the act has become virtually imposs­ ible, in spite of repeated and persistent efforts on the part of both the police and the courts, charged with the enforcement of the act; and the act has become antiquated and no longer serves the purpose for which it was- passed.” Results Of Vote The recorded vote on the non­ concurrence motion sponsored by E. S. Snyder, Colborne, was: Yeas: J. Roy Adair, Wingham; J, D. Beecroft, Wawanosh East; Wellington Brock, Usborne; R. B.

Snider, Exeter; Roy Swartz, Stephen, and Elmer Webster, Stanley — 19. W. G. Cochrane, Exeter, who- with Reeve Sills sponsored the resolution, explained that it was not designed to protest the CTA, nor to condone the Liquor Con­ trol Act, nor the method of con­ trol as it exists under the Liquor Control Act. Warden A. Nichol­ son declared that the CTA has not proven satisfactory. Teen­ agers go to bootleggers and it is a disgrace nothing can be done He thought the time opportune for some other law. The police say they can do nothing and people can drink on the street, which happened in Grand Bend. Split In Authority “People have been complain­ ing and it is a matter which should be brought to a head,” said Reeve Sills. He termed it "pathetic” what is happening t o young people and something should be done to protect them. The CTA was introduced in horse and buggy days, but a dif­ ferent situation has arisen with the motor cars. He said that if the CTA is repealed the LCA would come in force and muni­ cipalities would have the say as to how it will be enforced, and municipal councils would have control of the manner of sale. Mr. Sills emphasized he was not in favour of beverage rooms. Only four counties have the CTA. All the others cannot be wrong. and F. Sills stated that in force for has become period that G. N. 11.
