Under the Farmers' Creditors' Ar-
rangement Act Major E. A. Corbett

cial receiver for Huron County. This
act, a Iederral Act, framed principally

Any farmer wishing to consult
*Major Corbett and make use of the
provisions of this act should writeor
phone him for an appointment and

said to have worked well in the west.
In case an assignment is necessary,

S W,
A very enjoyable time was spent
one evening last week ail the home of
Miss Isabel McKnight when she op-
ened her hone to the membrs of the
Young Ladies' Class of Ontario Strees
Sunday School, of which she is a
valued menthe.
The young ladies, about twenty in
number, took this opportunity of hon-
ouring Miss Norine Finch, bride -elect
of November, by presenting her with
a towel shower. After the presenta-
tion and the playing of a couple • of
games, a dainty lunch was served and
the young ladies dispersed.
MONDAY NIGHT'S CONCERT
A good house greeted the Carolina
Singers when they appeared in On-
taria r a streetchurch
,
on
Monday even-
ing under the auspices of the Young
Peoples'. League. And those attend-
ing were not disappointed as.they
put on an excellent program.
The program was a varied one,
choruses, quartettes, solos, piano
numbers and readings bele present-
ed
being e
ed during the evening and each one
being enjoyed; by the audience,
This is the second visit of these
singers to Ontario street church and
they were even more enthusiastically
received the second time than the
first.
The'singers assisted in the Sunday,
evening, service, when their musical
numbers were also much appreciated,
THURSDAY'S PLAY
Certainly the local branch of the
Legion had no reason to complain of
lack of support in their first attempt
of the season to entertain the public
and, incidentally, make a . Tittle mon-
ey. The play, put on under their
auspices, by Windham Branch of the
Legion, on Thursday evening last in
the town hall was so well patronized
that the hall was filled until 'it could
scarcely hold another one.
The play, a play' in prologue, three
acts, was written espeeially 'For the
Wingham Branch and has been pre-
sented by them several times. It has
to do with the days of the war and
after. A couple of lads, one of

ing The four years of the war and who

Cameron Geddes, a former member
of the Dunibells, `has lately joined
the caste, and delighted the audience
with several solos,- his 'accompanist
being Miss' S. Cole of Belgrave. Mr.
Geddes' last number, when he per-
sonated "Jones of the Lancers,"
brought down the house.
The' acting of -Mr. R. Dongias: as

worker, who came in to see how the
Little brother was looked after, a se-
vere female, was well personified, and
Sister Margaret Henderson, a nurse
in the military hospital, looked well
in her uniform. Their voices betray-
ed them, however; as both were too
deep for female voices,
Dr. Fred G. Thompson, president
of the local branch, at the beginning
of the entertainment thanked the
audience for their presence and sup-
port and commended, the play to
them. ,He also explained that the
company had some very fine scenery
for the billet scene, but the stage
here was too small to accommodate
it so it could not be used.
But altogether' it was a good enter-.
ainment and was enjoyed by the big
audience present. l

'The following is from the Toronto
Telegram and occurs in a report 'of

W. I. ENTERTAIN NEIGHBORS
There were about one hundred laG-
ies at the regdlar meeting of the lo-
cal branch of the Women's Institute
on Thursday afternoon last in the
firemen's hall, the Londesboro
branch 'having 'been invited to be pre-
sent for this meeting.
Mrs. N. Wl Trewartha presided and
welcomed the visitors •heartily, ex
pressing the pleasure of the leen!
henneh in seeing so many present,
.14'fter the singing 'of the Ode, Mrs.
Perdue at the piano, and the repeat-
ing of the Lord's Prayer in unison,
all joined in singing the Institute
Rally Song. The roll call was ans-
wered by a favorite name for a boy,
when it was found that Jack was the.
favorite. Reports were received, the
financial committee reporting that
tickets were ready for the play to be
given on Nov. 9th.
A. 'letter was read from Mr. Put-
nam, the final official connnnication
to the Institutes throughout the Pro-
vinee. He said Miss B. Durand would
take over her new duties as superin-
tendent this month. Mr. Putnam ex-
pressed his sineere thankfulness for
having been associated with the In-
stitutes of •Ontario for over thirty
years and:, wished them continued
success.
The 'business of the day being fin-
ished, Mrs. E. Adams, president of
the Londesboro branch, was called to
the chair and took charge of the pro-
gram, which was given by the visi-
tors. The program, a most interest-
ing one, consisted of a vocal solo and
encore and an instrumental by Miss
Norma Snell; a trio by three charme
ing little girls, Betty Brunsdon,
Phyllis McCool and little Miss Arm-
strong, with thelatter's mother at
the piano; a vocal duet by the Misses
Rapson; an amusing reading by. Mrs,,
P. Manning; a chorus, "Singing is
the Thing to Make You Cheery," by
Mrs. P. Manning, Mrs, D. Adams,
Mrs. Geo. Moon, Mrs. M. Ross and
Mrs. M. Manning, and a most inter-
esting and instructive address by
Mrs. ; (Rev.) A. W. Gardiner on the
"Cultural Value of Horne Interests."
Thetime is divided into three parts,
eight hours for work, eight hours
for sleep and eight hours for reading,
recreation and the development of our
talents. She stressed the great value
ofreading. One cannot be lonely
with good books, poetry, biography,
books of travel, etc., should be the
heaviest part of one's reading. She
warned against too. much reading of
light fiction. It was as bad, she said,
as trying to live on desserts.
Her address was listened to with
much pleasure and profit.
Mrs. It, Ii. Johnson and Mrs. E.
Ward moved a vote of thanks to the
visitors who had so well entertained
the gathering, which was heartily
endorsed by all present. '
The social committee then served
very delicious refreshments and a
pleasant half hour was spent in so-
cial intercourse. The tables were
decorated with lovely, yellow 'mums,

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS
We should like our correspondents
all of them, to begin again to take
axx interest in, things and tell us a-
bout thein. Some have done nobly
all through the long summer, and
we're proud of 'there and appreciate
them very highly, but some take
their duties very rightly and •during.
the past summer have been having)
pretty much •of a 'holiday. Now that
the busy season is over on farms, etc.,
however, we shall expect a budget
each week. We do not expect impos-
sibilities, of course, but in every com-
munity there are always 'interesting.
happenings if one has an eye and an
ear for them. Let us hear regularly
from this on, dear fellow -helpers.
We are frequently disappointed on
receiving a budget to find in it noth-
ing in regard to an important hap-
pening, wedding, death of a prom-
inent citizen of the community or
something of the sort. Such items are
what we expect our correspondents to
tell us about. We depend upon them,
we do not like to be "let down."
Another thing we should like to
impress is that we like correspon-
dence early in the week. Each week
for some time we have been receiving
some -budgets of correspondence at
noon Thursday. The paper is half
run off by noon or Thursday, so any-
thing conning in by noon is late. We
like correspondence by noon Tuesday
and not later than noon Wednesday.
It is hardly necessary to say that
tate correspondence is not welcome.
Wle detest having to put a line "Too
late for last week,.' but when itcomes
late what are we to do? Occasion•
ally if -it is not of much importance
we throw it in thewastepaper w paper basket
rather than carry it over. But occas-
tonally it is news which we. would
have been glad to have had for the
current issue.
Of course, we are glad to have re-
ports of Wednesday afternoon hap-
penings on that evening, and appre-
ciate having friends call or send us in
such reports. ,It is the reports of
things which have happened days ear-
lier' we do not like corning in late.
It is necessary to miss the news
or to run it late, Just see that it is
mailed in time to reach us So that it
can be included in the paper of that
week. We shall all .be better setts -
fled in that case and the news of the
community will be recorded.
The News -Record welcomes news
from any source, whether from our
regular correspondents or not. We ap-
preciate having news items sent in by
the peopie concerned, then we are
sure of its being correct and full, and
we should be glad to have people send
in important news, either direct to
the office or through our regular cor-
respondents. We want the news, all'
the news there is, about anything and
about any and everybody. We even
welcome news about folk who do not
like us or who do not take the paper..
It is news of the communities we
want, all of it! Let us have the news,
