This picture proved both entertaining and educational, showing the story of coal from its earliest beginning to the time it reaches the coal bin. A smart puppet show proved a popular number. It was given by six Publics School pupils, Mona Bennett, Betty Langford, Margaret Stevens, Glen Nixon, Michael. BeChely and Fred Taylor, ander the direction of Miss Winnifred Savauge. A solo by Miss Lois Whitney, piano selection by Ernie Clarke, and a guitar duet by Harold and Bob Knight brought hearty applause. The final number was an exciting sound -movie picture, "Snow -Thrills," followed by the National Anthem. The proceeds amounted to $40.30. The concert was under the auspices of the Tuxis Boys. Half the net proceeds will be used for Overseas boxes. COA WE HAVE SEVEN KINDS OF FUEL ON HAND. ASK US WHICH ONE WOULD SERVE YOUR PURPOSE E. L.
