The Road Back The three act comedy drama “The Road Back,” presented in the town hall here on Friday evening by mem­ bers of Christ Church A.Y.P.A. of Listowel, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Guild of St. James’ Church was well received.

Although the story itself was a sad one, the characters of Ma Fow­ ler, Milly, Mrs. Blinders and Uncle Ben were most humorous.
