Clinton scarcely ;needs to inusirt
• outside entertainers when such a uro-
gram as that given in the town hall
on Thursday evening last can he put
on by local talent.
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."

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. H. Chant, Mr. W. H. Hellyar 01'
Mr, W. D. Fair.

DEATH OF FORMER CITIZEN
Tuesday's daily papers had the fol-
lowing report of the death of a cit.
men of Blyth and a former citizen of
Clinton, brother-in-law of Mr. Robert
Fitzsimons and of Mrs. D. B. Ken-
nedy of town.
"Blyth, Nov. 5th -Edward Wat-
son, one of the most widely known
business men in the district, died at
his home here this morning follow-
ing a short illness in his eighty-
eighth year. Mr. Watson. who had
been in the cattle -buying business
since he was 15 years of age, was
active up to a few days Preceeding
his death and had shipped a carload
of cattle to Toronto a week ago Sat-
urday. -
Frain a modest butcher business in
Brantford, he was instrumental in
building uf.) one of the largest cattle -
buying businesses in the Dominion.
Ile had the distinction of making the
largest individual shipment of cattle
from the Dominion when he sept
5,000 head to England.
Mr. Watson,was born in Brantford
and at the age of 12 left school and
assisted his ' father in his buteher
business. Ill health on the part of
the elder Watson forced his son to
unusual heavy responsibilities for his
age, and he did a considerable amount
of buying for the firm. He assumed
control at the death of his father
when 15 years of age, and shortly af-
ter sold out and confined his work to
buying and selling •on, the hoof, , Itt
1864,--mn the_ day President Lincoln
was assassinated, Xis Watson took
his first load of 'cattle to Chicago.
Por many year he shipped cattle to

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

sumed the supervision of all thestores

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
