Her escort, a mousy little man named John Appleford, was portrayed by John Munroe. In the midst of the ensuing confusion, the evening paper arrived and all were keen to read "Nellie MoNab", but the page had been torn from the paper. Mr. Appleford departed to get his from the car and on his return read three letters contained, the first from Daph- ne, the dubious debutante; the second from Ursula, the reluc- tant bride and the third, seem- ingly unconnected, from a widowed woman who felt she would break her two daughters' hearts if she was to reveal to them that she had secretly mar- ried. First Daphne and Roily be- came brave and revealed to Mrs, Stratford that it was in- deed they who were referred to in the letter as being secretly married. Seeing their valour, Ursula resigned herself to real- ity and handed mother the page torn from the paper, announc- ing that she was the writer who had broken her engagement, all of which sends Mrs. Stratford into a typically horrified tizzy until her friend Mr. Appleford induced her to reveal that it was indeed they who were mar- ried secretly without the know- ledge of the two daughters. In a hilarious climax, the surprise of the play came when unassum ing Mr. Appleford announced with gusto and pride that he was "-Nellie McNab", ON THE CAST The part of the society moth. er, played by Mrs. Bateson, was the natural highlight of "Nellie McNab" chosen by director George Wailing and on ly the excellent level of acting given by the supporting actors made the difficult task a suc- cessful venture. Although her lines made her stand out from the rest of the cast, the talents of Mrs. Bate- son were very obvious in her handling of the part. Facial expression, movement and voice were all perfect for the rather obnoxious Mrs. Stratford and Mrs. Bateson deserves a "Bravo" for her portrayal. Daughters Daphne and Urs- ula, played by Barbara Feagan and Rina Jouwsrna, both showed fine ability in their disgust and yet fear of their mother and her selfish ways. Miss Feagan and Miss Jouwsma were easily heard and both these young la- dies will no doubt reappear in future productions. The two men in the play re- ceived little of the attention, as is usually the way, but came up with more than adequate pet, fonnances. Mr. Munro's ac- tions in timidity were excellent and Mac MacLeod's total fear of his mother-in-law was well expressed, Lottie, the maid, was play- ed by Mrs. Murry Fridenburg, who received a good deal of praise from the adjudicator al- though her role was a very min- or one and served to set the scenes for the leading actors. dance group. Johnny Brent was master of ceremonies. Bill Hanula, project chairman, pre- sented Miss Mary Ahara, the centennial queen, with a bou- quet of roses and an engraved locket before the radio show, Later in the evening during the dance, which drew about 800 people, the Kinsmen award- ed prizes for centennial cos- tumes and had the draw for the old car on which tickets had been sold. Winner of the car was Torn Rooke, a member of the crew looking after the cara- van. Prize winners for the various costumes were; best dressed la- dy, Mrs. Murray Scott; best dressed man, Bill Taylor; best dressed boy, Danny Lamont; best dressed girl, Trudy Tern- pleman; best dressed couple, Mrs. Bill Taylor and Mrs. M. Scott. The judges who had to make the difficult decisions were Miss Ahara, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Vance, W. T. Cruickshank and his worship Mayor Miller and Mrs. Miller. On Sunday the Legion stag- ed a parade to the Anglican Church and the Masons paraded to the United Church for morn- ing services. That afternoon the local branch of the Legion and the 100F teamed up for a decoration service at the Wing- ham Cemetery. Country peo- ple in Howick attended a drum- head service at the Howick Central School, sponsored by the Howick Legion. All in all, there was no lack of activity for those who like to keep busy. Fordwich Mr. and Mrs. Bruce William- son will be pleased to hear she was able to return home from Walkerton Hospital last week. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce William- son and four children of London spent the week-end with Mrs. Emma Williamson. Miss Sharon Pollock of Kit- chener spent the week-end at her home here. Mr. and Mrs. Fred McCann and family visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Keith Duncan in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Sothern and Timmy of Palmerston were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Hargrave. Public School hoard Chair- man William Harris said at the regular meeting of the board on Monday evening that Mrs. Bert Garniss of Morris Township has been engaged to handle the special class that will be estab- lished next fall. She is study- ing methods at other schools in the area this month. The special class is being established as the board's re- sponse to need in the school. The class will be used to assist children with special tuition in any subject area where they may be experiencing difficul- ties, Those receiving part- time instruction in the special class will take most of their studies with their own grade as usual. The chairman said that ar- rangements are being made to acquire the necessary furniture for the special class. As well the board, authorized the princi- pal, Mr. Beattie, to obtain the required number of tables for the new library. SPECIAL MEETING Chairman Harris reported to the board that a meeting had been held with representatives of the Recreation Commission, Scouts and other interested parties regarding the use of the new gymnasium at the school. He said financial arrangements for all groups will be handled by the Recreation Commission. At the present time a list of rules and regulations regarding the use of the new facility are being drafted so that all par- ties will know what the correct procedures will be. He said that as a result of the meeting it appears the room will prob- ably be in use four nights each week. Mr. Beattie reported that enrolment at the school was 461 in June with attendance averaging 95.1 per cent for the month. The chairman and board member Scott Reid said they had attended the official open- ing of the new school at Tees- water and complimented the board of that school on their ef- forts. The board chairman started a discussion on a mural which was recently completed in the school's auditorium. He said there has been some comment on the mural, which was done as a centennial project by Guenter Heim and donated to the school, The chairman stated that most comment had been very favorable, but he understood some had been critical of the mural. Scott Reid said he had been in the auditorium when several classes were using the room and there was no com- ment from the students. He said he could find nothing objection- able about the mural, and felt it was in excellent taste and a fine piece of work by the artist. The chairman pointed out that the board had an opportunity to voice opinion of the mural when the sketch was prepared. Mr. Reid said the mural couldn't have been acquired under $3, - 000, and it was a donation. Neither Mr. Beattie, the principal, nor any of the board voiced any objection to the mural. Several of the board members expressed the view that the mural was an excel- lent piece of work, and it is only to be expected that not everyone will agree on the sub- ject. As a note of explanation, the mural in question depicts the course of education over the centuries,, and contains figures amen and women and child- Ten, all in the nude, However, there is nothing sexual or oh, scene about the mural, which is. excellent in its composition and execution., (Ed.) MOVING TO WINGHAM William Douglas (Bill) May, of London, along with his wife and family, will move to Wing- ham at the end of this month. Mr. May, who will be associat- ed with Reuben Appleby in the State Farm Mutual Insurance agency, has purchased the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Pym. A native of St. Marys, Mr. May served with the Royal Can- adian Air Force during the war and has been connected with the insurance business since that time. Mr. and Mrs. May have a family of six, ranging in age from their eldest daughter, a student at the University of Western Ontario, to the young- est, who starts kindergarten this fall. Mrs. May is a sister of Mrs. (Rev.) Been de Vries, whose husband was the Angli- can rector of churches at Blyth and Belgrave a few years ago.

Heading the list was the Confederation Caravan which rolled into town during the ear- ly hours of Saturday morning. • By 11 o'clock it was a hive of activity as dozens of school buses arrived from outlying points, full of children, for a tour of the caravan. Johnny Brent, the caravan chairman, had the whole pro- gram exceptionally well organ- ized and the over 2,000 young- sters went through the exhibits in something over two hours. While rain interfered to some extent there was a steady crowd at the caravan all day and it is understood that total attend- ance was over 10,000. The Kinsmen's booth was kept busy as was The Lions Club hat sale and the swim- ming pool fund spoon sale at MEMBERS OF THE Towne Players taking part in "Still Stands The House" at the town hall on Thursday and Friday evenings were Joan Armitage, Jack Kopas, Jim Swan and Mrs, Dick LeVan. —Advance-Times Photo, .110 0011.,•,..10 0 111000.0401011 ........ ill ............ ivt100101 ........ ...... 01t1110 ..............

The previous night the town hall drew a good crowd for the second night of activity when Wingham's Towne Players pre- sented two one-act plays. The same evening the Pioneer Girls held an encampment at the Baptist Church. On Saturday while the Con- federation Caravan was open to the public, the ladies of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church sold food in conjunction with a quilt and rug display. It drew a reasonably good crowd and was certainly a fine display of local craftsmanship by ladies of the community. There were doz- ens of quilts and handmade rugs as well as a number of old period items brought our for public inspection. Saturday evening the Kins- men staged an old-time show and dance at the arena featur- ing many of the former mem- bers of the old CKNX barn In the Orient the man lords it over the woman.
