An Hilarious Comedy
"Aunt Silly" Proves
as delegate from Clinton,
gave her report of the London
Area W.L, convention which was
held in Hotel London on Oct.
26-28, She stated that the theme
of the convention was "Grow,
Grow, Grow and Climb to World
Understanding." She gave some
highlights of this convention as
coming from three of the Fed-
erated W,1, members: Miss Anna
P. Lewis, Toronto, director of
Home Economics: Mrs. G. R.
Futcher, St. Thomas, president of
F.W.I.O., and Mrs. Houck of
Brampton, citizenship convener
of F.W.I.O. These three ladies
,attended the A.C.W.W. (Associat-
ed County Women of the World)
which was held in Christiansborg,
Norway, this fall.
The European women' think of
Canada as a "Garden of Eden"
and delegates remarked, on what
a friendly welcome was extended
to them every place they went,
even to being presented with
fresh corsages every place they
visited. They learned that Can-
adians are highly regarded
throughout the world, and felt
they were hospitably received;
not for themselves, but that they
represented a world-wide organ-
ization, namely the Women's In-
stitute. Secondly; they came to
the conclusion that the United
"Aunt Silly," a comedy show,
was presented in the Town Hall,
Clinton, on Thursday and Friday
evenings, November 23 and 24,
under the auspices of Huronic
Rebekah Lodge.
The evening's programme be-
gan with a Toyland Review,
ifeaburing G,iade 1 pupils, and
under the direction of Mrs. Ben-
son Sutter with Mrs. R. P. Robe
bins assisting.
The play centred around the
returning to her native tower of
Cecelia Dill, known as Aunt
Silly, and of the community put-
ting on a show to welcome her,
in the hope that she would do-
nate a community centre.
The characters include: Ruth
Harney, music supervisor at the
High School, Mrs. Benson Sut-
ter; Angelina Loftus, a 12 -year-
old, hardly an angel, Thelma
Baird; Mose Bulrushes, coloured
janitor, Mrs, George Carter; Irene
Stacey, saucy and wise -cracking,
Ruth's close friend, Mrs. R. P.
Robbins; Mayor Harney, Ruth's
States women liked them because Aunt, Miss Kathryn Coleman (the
they were their neighbors. Aust- directress); Al Brady, Irene's boy
friend, Charles Wilson; Lotto.
Loftus, self-styled aristocrat and
social leader, Mrs. Roy Wheeler;
Sam Sellen, friend of Mayor Har-
ney, who poses as Aunt Silly,
Edward Elliott; Senator Pendennis

Gibbon; Cecelia Dill, the real

Marianna McCoy, Gloria Nott.
A Business Men's Revue, feat-
uring some rather startling fe-
male costumes, was a real merry-
maker with the following taking
part: George B. Beattie, Melvin
Crich, Arthur Groves, George
Knights, Clarence Sturdy, John
A. Sutter and J. E. Cook.
During the evening, the fol-
lowing musical numbers added
to the programme. solo, "Wood-
en Shoes," Mrs. R. P. Robbins;
solo, "When You and I were
Young Maggie," 'Charles Wilson;
solos, "The Rose' of Tralee" and

Stream," and "Old Fashioned

ralian women liked them because
they were part of the Common-
wealth, Norway liked them be-
cause so many Canadian boys
trained here end some took home
Canadian brides. The women of
Holland liked them also, because
our boys were fortunate enough
to be their liberators.
An .observation °that was made
was that the European countries
display their flags much more
freely than Canadians.
The Federated Women's Lnsti-
lute have extended an invita-
tion to the A.C.W.W. to hold
their convention in Canada in
three years time; but executive
has nut yet made a decision in
this matter. But the speaker urg-
ed that all branches think ser-
iously about ways of entertain-
ing delegates should they convene
in this country in the near future.
These were only some of the
highlights of her splendid report
on this convention.
Mrs. Fairservice, president of
Londesboro WI was called on, and
she expressed the pleasure of
bringing her WI members to visit
Clinton WI and then gave a short
humorous reading. Londesboro
ladies provided most of .the pro-
gramme.. Mrs. Brenton and Mrs,
Allen favored us with a vocal
duet; Mrs. Griese gave a mono-
logue entitled "An Inventor's
Wife"; Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Bren-
ton gave two piano duet' numbers;
all of which was much enjoyed.
Miss Viola Fraser, teacher of
Grade 4 and 5 in Clinton Public
School brought 23 pupils up to
the meeting, to sing for us. This
was well done and much ap-
preciated.
The meeting closed with the
National Anthem and the host-
esses, Mesdames N. Tyndall, Kyle,
Taylor, Johnson, H. Tyndall, W.
Co]clough, Ball, Wiltse, Hollend,
Radford and Nelson, served re-
freshments,
