STREET 'S'CRAPING
The street committee of the town
council had an serapes on the front
streets last week trying to level
them up a bit. One motorist remark-
ed that if men -had been set :to- wprn
at'the cross streets to slit a way for
cars to turn it would have been a
better' Henke, as since the thaw it
has been 'very difficult for cars to
turn out ` of the' sleep ruts. But they
have been " gradually wearing, down
with the action of the warm Sun. -Tlte
weather for the past week or so has
been so mild and pleasant that it is
difficult to imagine that it is Still

C.CI, LITERARY MEETING
Yesterday afternoon the students
of 'tire GAL held the February
meeting of their Literary Society.
Miss Beatrice Sharp presided as
chairman for the program. The 'op-
ening number was a quartette com-
posed of Misses Violet Morrison,
Mary Armstrong and Irene Doherty.
Their two numbers were "Aloho OE"
and "Moonlight on the Colorado".
• Following this, a play, "Wurzel -
Flummery' was presented. It seems
that there -were two members of the
British Parliament belonging to op-
posing parties. One was a middle -
eon man and the other a young man
who 'is'in love with Viola, the daugh-
ter; of the Elder man, All goes well
until each, unknown to the other, is
notified that an eccentric old man
has Ieft him fifty thousand pounds,
With one condition—nhat'lie change
his name to that of Wurzel -Flum-
mery. For some time both men are
undecided•as to what they should do.
Much excitement 'is aroused when
the two men meet and learn they
are both probable beneficiaries of
the will. The young man is. quite
sure he would accept the 50,000
pounds. Viola, who contemplates the
idea of being Miss Wurzel -plums
mery, is quite astonished that he
"should be reluctant to accept. Her
father finally does accept the condi-
tion. The old man would have
chuckled to see the effect money has
on people. The "members of the
caste in order of appearance were:
Helen 'Johnson, Owen Combe, Clar-
ence Rozell, Florence MacGallunr,
Kenneth Elliott o»d Jo ie Carter.
Four menm,bers of the forms IA and
1B presented the debate "Resolved
that the motor car 'hits done more
good than harm:" The affirmative
was upheld by Gordon Vernier and
Marion West. •'George Campbell and
Gene Andrews .supportet1 the nega-
tive side of the resplution. The
judges were . three -members of the
staff, 1vliss Ricker, Mr. Arlin and Mr,
Coombs. Mr. Coombs gave the jud-
ges' decision whieh was in favour of
the negative side. Each side pro-
duced several points, either in favour
ofthe 'motor, because 'of its benefits
tothe human race, e loyment,' i
n
various ways, manufacture, 'high-
ways and gas -stations ami the sav-
ing of time to business -men., or of
it's negative value—costly in -pur-
chase andupkeep, many bought cars
who could not afford than. The
.question of health, was 'brought up
and 2liscussed• Mr, Coombs -said that
the deciding fact was that the epeak-
•errs upholding the negative proved
their ,points while on the other 'hand,.
those` on the affirmative side neg-
lected to state the title of the des
bate and to prove some of their
points.. ,

bers of the first year, did very well
