and I suffered deep pangs Of re-
morse for weeks.
A wonderful part of my cultu-
ral education in those days,
though I didn't realize it at the
time, was the music instilled in
zee at the show, when they were
still running silent pictures.
Down in the pit, watching the
picture and matching its every
mood with consummate skill on
the piano, sat Lornte Noonan.
How he could make you sweat
as the wheels started coming off
the stagecoach. How he could
make you weak with -hot, salty
tears at a touching moment!
During the teens, the theatre
was a different, but equally
thrilling place. In its comforting
darkness, the most timid boy
would find the courage to reach
shyly for the hand of his girl
and sit there, clutching it fier-
cely until both their paws were
slippery with sweat.
And if the girl whose hand I

It isn't often Lucanites have
the opportunity of entertaining
Japanese. Mrs. Alma Price,
who spent many years of her
life as a Japanese missionary,
is now living next door to her
nephew, Mr. Jack Murdy. Last
week she went to Toronto to
meet Mrs. Toshiko Ikeda, her
secretary Mr. Takuya Old of
Tokyo and an interpreter Miss
Edith Masuda of Toronto and
brought them all to Lucan. Ano-
ther Japanese missionary, Miss
Violet Saunders of London, join-
ed the party and were enter-
tained by Mrs, Jack Murdy last
Tuesday and part of Wednesday.
The party found everything
here very interesting. Mr. Mur-
dy even took them to alarm and
the secretary, who had a movie
camera with him took pictures
of cows being milked which he
said will probably some day be
shown in Tokyo.

In one small town after anoth-
er, the local movie-house, once
the town's foremost center of
second-hand sin and sex, viol-
ence and valor, excitement a n d
ecstasy, is darkening its former
bright spot on the main street,
and closing its doors, to stand
there in bleak reproach, mute
testimony to the havoc that is
being wrought on our - culture by
that one-eyed monster, the tele-
vision set.
I read the other day that the
theatre had been closed in my
old home town, and it gave me
quite a pang, like learning of the
death of a boyhood friend still in
his best years. For some of the
most formative days of my life,
that theatre drew me into its
black maw with the awesome
ease of a whale yawning to let
one small herring swim inside.
As a small boy, I wept, shiv-
ered with fear, screamed with
laughter and almost died of sus-
pense, in that theatre. I chased
Indians with Tom Mix, fell des-
perately in love with Marlene
Dietrich and thundered through
the jungle on the back of Tantor
the Elephant with Tarzan.
I remember going to every
matinee I could manage. Money
was scarce in those days, and
raising a dime was harder for
a kid than raising a dollar now.
Sometimes it took me a solid
hour to wheedle the sum out of
my kid brother, an industrious
type who had a newspaper
route.
There was a matinee Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday, in
those days, and it taxed my in-
genuity to make all three, but I
seldom missed. If I couldn't find
any empty beer bottles to sell,
and my brother was adamant in
refusal, I'd hit up my pal "Egg"
Slegg, an equally ardent afi-
cionado of the silent screen, but
one with a little more money. If
he had only one dime, we'd buy
one ticket, and both try to
squeeze past the ticket-taker.
He knew what we were doing, and
if he was in a good mood, let us
both in.
One time, I was completely
stymied. I had to go to the show
to see if Tarzan got away from
the crocodiles who were con-
verging on him last Saturday.
I got his last six cents from my
brother, but couldn't raise an-
other sou, It's about 30 years
ago, so I guess nothing will hap-
pen if I admit I swiped the other
four from my mother's purse.
It was the one time the show
wasn't worth it. The sunofagun
got away from the crocodiles, Present lodge head

Years", Dr. Helen Allison, re-

SEVIN carbaryl insecticide controls many insect pests that shrug off other insecticides. It knocks
.out general feeders like flea beetles, leafhoppers, leaf rollers, Japanese beetles, plant bugs, cutworms
and armyworms. It also controls important specific pests such as corn ear worms, corn ear borers,
codling moths, apple maggots, peach twig borers, Oriental fruit moths, cucumber beetles, Mexican
bean. beetles, tomato and potato hornworms, Colorado potato beetles and chary fruit flies.

without residue danger to humans or livestock.
Safeguard wildlife. SEWN insecticide can be used on field
and orchard, garden and grounds. Deadly to insects,
SEWN is relatively low in toxicity to wildlife and fish, and
to poultry and pets.
No soil contamination. SEVIN insecticide provides long,
lasting protection to crops but does not leave persistent
residues in the soil of your fields. SEVIN breaks down
quickly in the ground.
Be a good neighbor, Reduce residue hazards for everyone.
Be a good farmer and control crop insects with SEVIN.
Safer to handle. SEVIN is safer to handle than many other
insecticides. Just use normal precautions. Read the label
and follow label directions carefully.
Reduce drift hazards. There is no problem of contamina-
tion in pastures, hay and feed crops when you use SEVIN
for crop insect control. Residues on livestock feed crops,
either from drift or direct application for insect control,
do not show up in milk, meat or eggs.
Avoid residue problems.. The lower toxicity of 'SEVIN ite
secticide to warrn.blooded animals makes it practical to
bse SEVIN close to harvest of many food and feed crops
