OBITUARY Thomas Congram This community lost another of its ■older residents on Sunday, when Thomas Congram passed suddenly a- way from a heart attack. For the past two years he had suffered from a heart condition, but his sudden pass­ ing was a great shock to his faimly and friends. The deceased, who was in his 76th year, was born at Bramp­ ton, Ontario, and as a very small child came with his parents and set­ tled on the 8th concession of Kinloss where he resided for twenty-five years.

Since he has farmed in East Wawa- nosh on Highway No. 4 near the ,1st concession of Morris, about a mile from Wingham.

COUNTY COUNCIL CLOSING SESSION Balanced Budget Forecast Many Stops Signs To Be Erected “We have had a very favorable year, one of the best in the county since the war,” said Warden J. M. Eckert at the opening session of Hur­ on County Council at Goderich on Tuesday afternoon last week, “Be­ cause of the reduction in the tax rate we are down about $25,000, and have spent $45,000 more on the county roads, but despite that we will pres­ ent a balanced budget.” He hoped to have a two-mill rate for roads since the county would not have to share in the payment of Old Age Pensions and Mothers’ Allowances next year. He felt it should not- be reduced as he considered it good' business to keep roads up to standard. If ne­ glected they would require a much largei- expenditure. The warden expressed disapproval of the county having to borrow from ed fo.r this year amount to only $219,- the bank $245,000. The taxes collect- 445, due to the fact that only one- half the county highways money is collected in advance, and the subsidy is not payable until March or April next year. The county to date had paid practically $6,000 interest. Warden Eckert strongly advocated the payment of taxes quarterly in the rural municipalities and in the coun­ ty. He said it would suit the farmer better as the burden of taxation then would be spread over the year, and would tend to equalize the market price the year round. He hoped the system would be inaugurated, if not this year, then next. He saw no rea­ son to borrow. (Continued on Page Two) Curled at Galt A rink Of local curlers, A. Wilson, D.’ Fortune, J.

SCHOOL CONCERT DRAWS FULL HOUSE Presentation by the Children Was a Decided Success, Town Hall Filled to Capacity Both Nights. The Annual Public School Concert is over for another year and the pre­ sentation was most pleasing and was well received by the capacity crowds that were in attendance on Thursday and Friday evenings. The pupils are to be congratulated for the very fine manner they filled the respective parts. They certainly did well and those who were not priv­ ileged to see them perform and hear them sing, missed a treat that was truly worthwhile.. It must have been with great satisfaction that the teach­ ers and Prof. Anderton watched the youngsters on the stage. The train- 'ing of the children for such an affair is no easy matter. That the training was well done was shown by the ex­ cellent performance. The presentation was divided into three parts. The first, an Operetta “Old King Cole” by the junior rooms, grades 1 and 2, Miss Johns’ and Miss Williamson’s rooms. The operetta was based on the old story of King Cole and the efforts of his courteours to entertain him. In an effort to do this many of the old nursery rhymes were introduced. The principals were Old King Cole, Jimmie Hall; 1st Page, Kenneth Kingston; 2nd Page, Ronnie Seddon; Court Fool, George Calvert; Old Woman in the Shoe, Bonnie Richardson; Fairy Queen, Gloria Swanson; Humpty Dumpty, Maitland Breen; Simple Simon, Billy Wells; Little Miss Muffit, Tresina Bondi; Jack and Jill, Gerald Williams and Marjorie Anderson; Knave of Hearts, Buddy .Wild; Queen of Hearts, Ruth Burgman. The second part “Plantation Sing­ ers” from Miss Joynt and Mice Mc­ Laughlin’s rooms, grades 3 and 4, was different setting of the" ever-popular Rhythm Band. The Band was con­ ducted by various pupils, the songs sung were the old Stephen Foster songs such as Old Black Joe, etc. Specialty numbers were a solo by Bobby. Finlay and tap dancing by Barbara Ross and Mary Forbes. The pupils of grades 3 and 4, Miss Reynolds and Mr, Kidd’s rooms, pre­ sented the operetta “Too Bad” or "Discontented Judith.” This is the story of the good fairy content giv­ ing a rich girl a day’s experience in a poor girl’s home in order to cure her of complaining. The first act was in the afternoon, part 2, the next morning, and part 3 in the evening of the second day. The scene were laid outside of a poor, dwelling house. Judith, the rich girl, finds so much trouble while living in poverty for a day that she is very glad when the fairy gives her a chance to change back to her own home life of com­ fort. The cast: Judith, discontented rich girl, Grace Parker; Her nurse, Louise Thompson; Betsy, the poor girl, Grace Hingston; Betsy’s mother, Mary Lepard; Old Woman, good fairy content in disguise, Lois Bate­ son. There was also a chorus of girls as Milk Maids, boys as Wagoners and Laborers, also a school children’s group.'Dancers: Joyce Walker, Mary Forsyth, Dorothy Hamilton, Grace Bailey. In some of the. chorus sing­ ing a full choir of the four senior rooms assisted. Between the Plantation Singing and the operetta “Too Bad” a whistling farmer boy chorus was given by the members of the four senior rooms. Prior to the concert, both nights, an orchestra composed of Mr. G. A. Schatte, Velma Wheeler, Mary King, George King, Benson Hamilton and Carl McKay, entertained. Officiating at the piano throughout the Concert was either Miss McLau­ ghlin or Prof. Anderton. The program each night was in­ troduced by Principal Kidd and Prof. Anderton gave a short talk on the aims of music in the school. He also thanked the teachers for their splen­ did co-operation. Mr. W. F. Burgman, Chairman of the School Board, made a hit with the children when he announced that Friday would be a holiday.
