The occasion was the opening- of the newly -rebuilt and redecorated stage and the entertainment was put on by the Women's Institute, which is the organization responsible for the' vastly improved condition of the town hall stage, The town council put in a new stage floor and ceiling, lowering the latter and slanting it backwards, in the ap- proved fashion, to throw the sound outwards, and the Wornen's Institute undertook to provide screens and 11(1W verure curtains to replace the vener- able curtain which had done duty for many years and which was baclly worn and ont-of-ditte. The stage woodwork and walls have been nicely painted, also the doors and steps leading to it, and the screens on the stage painted the same creamy shade with stensilled edges in bro-wn, the same soft shade as the trimmiog on the wookwork. Then the new curtains are of brown velure and are dieawo from' the side, with a deep valance across the top, hiding the lamps. The whole effect is very fine and many were the ex- pressions of approval heard of the whole. effect, Mayor Combe occupied the chair at the Thursday evening entertainment and he had many flattering things to say about the Women's Institute, under whose auspices the gathering was held, extolling them as a public- spirited organization which had plac- ed the town ender an obligation by their efforts for civic improvement. He then introduced the several enter- tainers, those taking part being, the Collegiate orchestra, which rendered several selections very acceptably; the Kittle Band, whose appearance was the signal for applause and whose • selections were greatly enjoyed; Mr. Korean Agnew, who rendered a cm: - net solo and saxophone solo andwas vigbrously applauded both times; Miss Fraser, who sang a couple of solos, accompanying hertelf upon the guitar, which were enjoyed; Miss • Pentland, who also sang a couple of pretty songs; Mrs. Fines, Miss Arm- strong, Miss Verginia Harris and Miss 'IVIargaret • McLeod, who gave pleasing readingtr; and last, but by no Means least, nor did it come last on •the program, a little French playlet given by students of the C. C. 1., in the original tongue, which was en- joyed even by those who could not understand the -dialogue. Mrs. Morgan Agnew acted as pian- ist during the evening. It was a good 'prograni, every number being connnendable, and the only criticism' heard was as to its length. But the audience was re- spensible for this as they heartily en- cored almost every 'number until the performers were forced to return., One lady 011 coming out said she thought we - should pay some COD- sqience moriey, as the program seem- ed much too good for the small ad- mission fee asked. • It goes without saying that those having occasion to use the town hall the Doming winter will greatly • ap- preciate the improarements made in the stage, also the dressing rons. where a toilet hasbi been installed and the kitchen which has liad a tap and basin put in. "The hall •Was built in 1880" re- marked Mayor CoMbe, and I am free to say that never since it ereo- tion was it in better ebndition from top to bottom than it is today." REORGANIZED FOR WINTER.

WHAT ABOUT' LECTURE COURSE The Home and Scheel Club, whose members have been making a canvas to see who wished to ,subscribe,for course of University Extension lec- tures for this fall and winter, reports that they have not been very success- ful, only. about sixty-fivenames hav- ing been seeured. Surely there are more than sixty- five people in Clinton alone, not counting the surrounding community at all. who would be willing to spend the small sum of one dollar for a ticket to a course of six or eight lec- tures delivered by as many of the best .educated men in Canada. These professors do this work without any remuneration. All it costs us is their expenses going and coming. Probably by subscription these lectures night be brought without selling tickets but the Collegiate board feel that they would like to know that enough people in the com- munity appreciate such a course suf- ficiently to come forward and say so by buying a ticket for the course. No individual admission fee is charged, it is not a money -making scheme, but the board would like to have at least one hundred and fifty people to pay one dollar for aiticket, thus expres- sing their interest in a course of edu- cative lectures. ' If sufficient response -is not made by thes,15th of November the board contemplate giving up the scheme, but they will regret doing so as they wish to have the lectures for the sake of the students Tickets may be had by applying to Mr. C.

IA SUDDEN DEATH 1 The following reference to the death of a former Clinton boy ap- peared in Monday's Free Press as a despatch from Kitchener. Mr. Rorke was a nephew of 111r.-11. E. Rorke of Clinton and will be remembered by many here as he spent some years of his boyhood here, -the family residing in Clinton before going west:. "Kitchener, Nov. 4. -Harold Elmer Rorke, manager of the Hardy -Lusby Piano Company branch here, died this morning at 9 o'clock at the Kitchen- er -Waterloo Hospital, following an ill- ness which commenced last Wednes- day.' ' Mr. Rorke was in his 36th year and previous to attack of acute indi- gestion early on Wednesday appeared to be in good health. He underwent a surgical operation on Wednesday. Mr. Rorke was born in Mount Forest on September 15, 1893, a son. of Mn. and Mrs, George Rorke, now of Rorketon, Man. He Was well-known to the piano trado in Western Ontario having been at Various tines manager of the Hardy -Lusby stores in London, Sarnia, an&St. Thonaas and having as- sumed the supervision of all thestores in Western Ontario When coming to Kitchener, He is survived by 1VIrs.

Rorke are at. tending the funeral, which takes plaoe in Guelph today. • • Slhairman, Cooper .of the property committee reported the work on the town hallias passed by the. council completed -and wished to' have recor- ded in the minutes the appreciation of the council of the activity and gen- erosity of the Womens' Institute for stage curtains and screens provided by them. He also reported that a basin and 'tap had been installed in the- kitchenette and. recommended that suitable shelves and a draining. board, be installed and that dish- washing be forbidden in the dressing rooms, also that notice cards. bo put up ferbidding • the ,placing of- pins, tacks Or nails insthe stage screens. .He recommended tbat•the tender of 13. Migensh!ossanew furnace, atm. Cost of $140.09 be' accepted... Some. 0-1- rhe councillors thought this furnace web too small but Councilor Cooper said the caretaker advised the installing of a small furnace. He also recom. mended that tenders be asked for be- fore' the iieW insurance, allowed by the council at its former meeting', be Placed and asked that tenders be ad- vertised for in the first issue of The News -Record for $25000 on the town hall building and $3500 on the con- tents, including band instruments and supplies and .fire appliances and ston- tents of the firehall, tenders to be re- ceived up to and including November 15th and opened at a special meeting of the council on Nov, 16th. Sonia discussion followed this re- port and an amendment by Council- lors Holmes and- Elliott was passed providing that the policies now in f one be retained, tenders on addl.., tional only to be asked for. Coun- cillors Holmes and Thompson each spoke in favor of retaining some pol- icies with tariff companies, as that ensured inspection, the idea being that cheapness of premium was not the chief factor in placing insurance, Cleric Macpherson, on being asked for an opinion. said some non -tariff companies were all right but others he would not consider good. Councillor Cooper asked that a 1 motion passed at the March meeting regarding tax rolls and their accep- tance be read. On this request being complied with he said the motion had not been heeded by the clerk and . treasurer, that the tax rolls were not properly accepted and the tiro col- lector cleared on finishing his work, that this had been going on for years and be thought a change should be made in regard to this matter. • Clerk Macpherson, who resented some of the things said by Councillor Cooper, asked permission to speak and said the rolls were accepted each year and a full list of all unpaid taxes Made. This had been done every year since he had taken ever the work in 1908. Thee things were op- en to inspection by any member of 't the council at any time and lie fur- ther said that if the council or any - member of it had any suspicion that everything was not•as it should be he would welcome an audit by any aud- itor they wished to bring in.
