glamor which was intended for
her daughters. 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.

tumes and had the draw for the

was Torn Rooke, a member of

On Sunday the Legion stag-

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.

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,

excellent in its composition and
execution., (Ed.)

first two performances
One of the busiest week-
ends in a considerable period of
time occurred in Wingham last
week-end.
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.

Many events made week-end busy
the town park.
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
