BAYFIELD- "The .Strike of the Church Wo- men's men's Guild", a most amusing two - act play was presented in the Towii Hall on Thursday evening • last, .by, the Women's Guild of St. George's Church, Goderich, under the auspices of Trinity Church Guild. There was a good audience and laugh followed laugh as the quilting proceeded at the home of Mrs. Cheerbody. Here one met the different types that go to make 'up any women's organiza tion, the' snob, the gossip, the busy bee and the drone, the woman of the two-edged tongue, the peacemaker, the merry and the melancholy, etc etc. And because it was all so nat- ural and had at times a distinctly to=, cal -flavor, it was really appreciated. But, when S the women decided to go on strike and not cook any of their husbands meals unless they subscrib- ed towards the •building of a new Sunday School, one wondered just what would happen. The second act revealed it. All the women had var- ious excuses for not having kept their Pledges to the full, and it looked as if the strike had been a complete failure until Prunella Prunes arrived with a Letter fromher father in which it was stated that the ,nen had had a meeting- and they were really sick of pretending that they • enjoyed getting their own meals, 'etc., and were going ahead with plans for the new Sunday. School. The old-fashioned costumes were very amusing. Vocal numbers by several of the women were also given at the meeting. The Cast of Characters was as follows: Miss. Cheerbody, , hostess, Mrs. H.

Mr. Calder, the Rector of St. George's Church, Goderich, introduced the play, and also the following numbers be- tween acts which were greatly appre- ciated: Duet, "The Old Spinning- 1Vheel in the Corner," Misses Mar- lorie Calder and Phyllis Lawrence; a Jig by Mrs. Buck and Mrs. Riley; vi- olin selections by little Miss Gwen Juck, accompanied by her sister, Miss Nora Juck; and a musical drill "Nel- lie Gray", (Mrs. Ford, soloist) by the entire company.

Miss Ferguson was a cousin of Mrs. Rhynas. Mrs. Rhynas said we have been standing today at two sacred shrines, paying dual honor to our new King and to the memory of 'Florence Night- ing•ale. She gave us the' following toast. Here's a toast to those past and present, who helped place in large or small way --the Milestones in Iles= pital Service-adown all the years to this day. We pause at the last placed milestone where love and humanity meet and place fragrant thoughts of the workers who have travelled this Hospital street. Some have left us for much higher service -where sick- ness and pain have no part. Let us who are left humbly promise. our lives to a much larger part. Let us toast the Superintendent, the Board, Aid, and staff, one and all, the doctors, the nurses in white who stand day and night to answer emergency's call, the nurses in blue who are tread- ing each day their hospital aisles, a service to do thesick folk, and add to this blessing a smile. Let us join hearts and whisper a blessing to the Great Physician of all, who has made hearts responsible and faithful to the need of Humanity's call. Mrs. Rhynas began leer hospital work by spending three months as a Patient in a hospital, and her active work by -tagging for the hospital. She said that after the home and church, the hospital comes next. It demands our loyalty. In fact the church and hospital should work to- gether. Many places have church groups working for the hospital and have a special Hospital Sunday once a year. We must have co-operation in life. No army can function with- out the rank and file. - The first class of Graduate Nurses in. Canada was in St. Catharines. Chatham came next. The Hospital Aid Association wasir first formed in 1910. Thework con- sisted of supplying anything the hos- pitals needed. Mrs. Rhynas also stressed the fact that we should be absolutely loyal to the Institution. Any little grievance among the members should be taken directly to the Superintendent or the President of the Association and not talked outside. Investigate the work of the hospital for yourself and form your own opinions, During depres- sion small hospitals would have been forced to close their doors only for the Hospital Aids. Women always went ahead of Hospitals. They went from door to door talking up the need of a hospital in many communities. Members of the Aid should familiar- ize themselves- with every phase of Hospital Work, If you want to grow you must, desomething for some one else. Let's do our work with a smile. It often goes a long way. Geb the interest of the men of the community, the service clubs and the church. At the close of her address, Miss Winnifred O'Neil and Mrs. Harold Lawson moved a very hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Rhynas. An instrumental duet was played by Mrs. Wendell and Miss Elva Wil- tse which was muchuch enjoyed. The meeting closed with "God Save the King." improving hi health. The following excerpt from the Hamilton News of Monday's Globe and Mail refers to one who was very popular in this district, 'having prac- ticed in Bayfield for ten years: "Thrown clear of the wreckage, when his auto crashed against a tree, Dr. A. Newton -Brady, Medical Arts Building, had a remarkable escape from injury Saturday afternoon near Aldershot. Dr. Brady's car was Struck by a machine which cut in on a traffic lane, catching the rear wheel of the,doctor's auto and causing it to swerve from the highway. The driver blamed for the accident did not stop. Plunging across a' ditch and then striking a post and tree Dr. Brady's machine was reduced to twisted . de- bris. Force of the impact caused the door to fly' open and the driver, who was the lone occupant, was catapulted to the roadside unhurt." 11r. and Mrs. Woodall and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kendall of Elmira were the guests of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Jowett over the week- end. Mr. and Mrs. G. Churchward and two sons of London were at their cot- tage over the week -end.

THURS., MAY 13, 1937 MUSICAL FESTIVAL IS OUTSTANDING SUCCESS The first Musical Festival to .be held in Huron County, took place on Tuesday, May 11th. Mr. E. C. Bea- com, Inspector of Public Schools; in West Huron, organized the Festival, and much credit is due Mr. Beacom for its success. • The large number of entries show- ed the extent to which schools are interested in the study of music. So many ` entries were made for each class that it was well nigh impossible to list the names of the students, and the schools they represented. There were fifty-eight schools in the County represented at the Festival. Mr. Fenwick, Provincial Supervisor of music in the schools, was the ad- judicator. His was a difficult task on Tuesday. There were eighty-sev- en entries in the girl's solo competi- tion and these were spread over the morning, afternoon and evening ses- sions, making the task of comparing thein mueh harder, because the win- ners could not be chosen by elimina- tion. There were sixty-three entries in the girls' duet class, and over thirty rural school choirs were entered for competition. The schools taking part in the Fes- tival included, Goderich, Seaforth, Clinton, yi'ingham, Brussels, Blyth, Exeter, Hensall, Dashwood, Crediton, Dungannon, Grand Bend, Ethel, No. 1, Stanley, Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, Hallett Township, Nos. 3 and 10; . Goderich Township, Nos. 2, 3, 6 and 10; • Tuck ersin th Township, Nos. 8, 10, 14 acid 15; Hay Township, Nos. 3 and 6; Col- borne Township, Nos. 6 and 17; East Wawanosh Township, Nos. 3, 4 and 17; West Wawanosh Township, Ne. 3; Turnberry Township, Nos. 5, 10, 13 and 15; Ashfield, Nos. 2 and 8; McKillop Township, No. 6; Grey 'Township, Nos. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12; Stephen Township, Nos, 3, 4, 5 and 10. Usborne Township. During the competition held in the morning and afternoon, it was felt possible to hold the elimination ser- ies during the evening session, but the unexpected large number of en- tries in each group forced a differ- ent basis of determining the winners. Each' singer or groups was marked and the winners were selected from the total. The winners of the various classes were as follows: Class 1, girl's solo, "Conte to the Woody Dell," or "Skies are Only Bright and Clear," lst, Margaret Pethick; 2nd, Dorothy Gallop; 3rd Tied forthird were Marion Mason Ettabelle Webster and Hazel Boyce Class 2, girls' duets, "Merrily the Cuckoo," 1st, Marguerite Cosens and Margaret Resell of Clinton Public School; 2nd, Alma Richards and Jean Parker of No. 1, Stephen; 3rd Adella Bryan and Jean Spearan of Blyth. Class 3, boy's solo, "Ring out Wild Bells", 1st, Clifford Farrier of West Wawanosh; 2nd, Lloyd Bryan of Brussels; 3rd, Donald Gibbs. Class 4, boy's duets, "The Cana- dian Boat Song", 1st, Tommy Lep- pington and Douglas Andrews of Clinton; 2nd, Lloyd Walker and Rus- sel Herman of No. 1, Stephen; 3rd, Tied for third place were, Glen Hun- ter and Elwyn Kerslake of No, 4 Us - borne, and James Taylor and George Wolfe of Dashwood. Class 6, Rural school choirs, "Where Do They Go?", 1st, No. 1 Stephen; 2nd, No. 3, Goderich; 3rd, No. 6, Grey. Class 6, Choir from school with two or three rooms, ;'Slumber Song", 1st, Ethel; 2nd, Dashwood; 3rd, Brussels. Class 7, Choir from school of more than three rooms, "Santa Lucia", "Night," lst, Wingham; 2nd, Sea - forth; 3rd, Exeter. 8, Choir from Home and School Clubs, There were two entries from Gode- rich Central and Victoria. The Cen- tral choir obtained the better stand- ing. In making his remarks and criti- cisms at the close of each class, Mr. Fenwick was forced, through lack of time, to discuss then generally, in- stead of each entry separately, which criticism would have been of inestim- able value for the students and their teachers. Mr. Fenwick stated, how- ever, that he was agreeably surpris- ed at the quality of the singing that was heard during the Festival. "Di- viding Huron County into two or three districts," Mr. Fenwick said, "would make for better Festivals in future years." It is a certain fact that the Festival was enthusiastically enjoyed in Clinton, and everyone will be interested in future musical af- fairs of this nature.
