Both evenings brought record crowds which showed their appreciation by continued laughter and applause throughout the eritirf,- play. The players were highly •eiz,mplemented in that quite a nuiraak of people came both nights. They have all received the warmest praise for their performance and have been asked to repeat it elsewhere. Mrs. Dore and Miss Medd, who were the directors for the play, have both had considerable experience in producing plays.

Shep- pard, pastor of James St. "United church regret to know that through his continued illness he finds it ne- cessary to resign his charge at the end of the conference year and take a year's rest. This matter came be fore a special meeting of the Quar- terly Board of the church on Thum/ - day evening of last week. A resolu- tion of sympathy and regret was tendered the pastor. A resolution\ of sympathy wad also expressed to ' Mr. P. Frayne, for many years re- cording steward of the church who is not enjoying good health. A un- animons invitation was extended to Rev. D. MacTavish, of Crediton to become the pastor for the ensuing year subject to approval of author- ities. PAINFUL ACCIDENT A very painful accident happened at the sehool,here on Tuesday morn- ing last. Billy, the eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Wilson, was playing with a number of boys when he caught hold of a stick, attached to which, was a sharp piece of iron and the other boys pulling it sharp- ly through his hand. inflicted a large and painful wound that required six ly did all the make-up work, but stitches to close. coming to some of the later prac- tices helped greatly with suggestions regarding staging, costume, etc. She also helped in the direction of the play from behind the scenes both nights of the performance. Miss Medd not only chose and trained the actors, but composed two of the Irish songs used in the play, and al- so re -arranged the first part of the second act. Another who should share in the credit for the success of the play, is Miss M. Broderick, who has also had training in Dramatic work, and who assisted throughout the practice with many helpful suggestions. But above all there was one thing which had a very great deal to do with the play being the real 'success that is was. Every actor took hold of his or her part as if they meant business, and with the same spirit carried it through to the end. This determination for success on the part of everyone combined with the untiring efforts of the directors, en- sured the success which was realized, when the young people were greeted with continuous applause from "full to capacity" houses. The orchestra also played an im- Portant part. Under the direction of the League Pianist, Miss R. Wild- fong, they kept the people' in good humor between the acts with many old Irish tunes: After the last performance lunch was served to those connected with the play' and the orchestra. At this time a presentation was made to Mrs Dore, "Ann Mary" and "Caitlin" ex- pressing in quaint arogue the grati- tude of the Young People for her assistance 'EXAMINATION DATES Announcement has been made by Dept. of Education of the dates of thajlepartment of examinations this year.
