On Tuesday evening of this week inthe auditorium dttori um of ' Nort hsrd Church,a most: exceptional e program was givenptional by two famous Welsh ar- tists, Delphine Sommes, soprano, and Risca Williams, Welsh baritone. The audience was charmed by their un- usual voices. Miss Sommes rendered several high class solos, and perhaps one, especially, should be mentioned, the singing of "Danny Boy" which was extremelyi beautiful, Miss Sommes voice has that exquisite quality known only . among Welsh singers. The mein feature of the evening's entertainment was a lecture or story given by Mr. Williams on "The Sink- ing of the Lusitania." . Mr. Williams is, himself, a survivor of that' notor- ious ship, and his story,which fascin- ated the audience from beginning to end, was indeed a thrilling one. Bet- ter than "thrilling,' it was a proof and a prayer' that this old world of ours must banish war with all its hor- ror, and all its sorrow, -.forever and ever. EGMONDVILLE.

COMME'N'TS RE BOYS BAND Dear News,— tIn your contemp'orary's .issue of Nova lith, re "The .Organization of the e Seafor h t Boys' Band Nearing g Completion" rs well worth reading, and it is still bett et for the readers to know a little more about it. The ar- ticle was not written by the editor, although the introductory sentence would give the reader that impres- sion, One would infer that Seaforth nev- er possessed a fine band: Seaforth Highlanders Band" and Seaforth Citi- zens Band, back to the days of the! 33rd Regimental Band, Seaforth has had as fine a band, if not a little bet- , terhand than any town of its popula- tion in Western Ontario, and played a grade of music that many city bands ,could handle ■ao better. The people of Seaforth were always proud of their band. The crowds at the park last August, showed their appreciation. Seaforth has some very fine boys, bright chaps, and every boy seems to take readily to various` band instru- ments, nstruments, but will the instrument take to the boy? After you purchase you find it is too late, if it will. Many a boy tried .in vain to play. a wind in- struncent, but failed. To guarantee that one can make a boy a player, is too much for any body that knows wind instruments, however if the boy fails, it will be the boy's fault, and not his instructor. 'Seaforth' Council, or Property Com- mittee has provided the band with a suitable room, and an instructor; and tuition to the boys is free, and instru- ments supplied, to as many as pos- sible, so why the necessity to form another organization at a cost to the parents of an instrument, and tuition fees. Instruments owned by the Town, are sanitary, and were .all cleaned and prepared for playing before the boys are given them. Band tuition classes are •held on iVlondayr. and Thursday evenings, from 7.30 to 8.30 and does not inter- fere with the boy's studies, :.nor a boy's pleasure, who does not attend school, Associations in band room are of a high standard, edifying to any b Band instruments can be purchas- ed locally, from bars. Peck, A. West- cott, J. F. Daly, C. Aberltart and H. C. Box, and et a reasonable margin of profit to them. Can anyone imag- ine two men are interested in organiz- ing a band in Seaforth, for the wel- fare of Seaforth, and not making a long profit in their sales. Apparently some Lions, giving them the benefit of the doubt that they do not know what is going on in Seaforth, end are like the little school age boys, who readily takes to the instruments, or that which looks like a shining af- fair, should realize that their efforts are not in line. For those reported as being behind then ' ew organization, namely, Mayor. Parke, Lion Pres, Barber, Lion Secy. Crawford, and - Lion on Ballantyne, the following r I is for your information, Mayor Parke is not behind this new Organization, The above Lion memb- ers are, but Lions Cltib is not. Why these members should' be behind such a stove, one cannot understand, for then reason that: it is advocating buy- ing out of town, which the Lions Club had a great advertising feature about last year. It is purchasing from men, who were selling instruments without the necessaa+y license, nor did they make application for a Hawkers and Ped - lers license, which is $`10.00 a day, but were called before :the Chief of Police. At present there are the Mayor's son, and five sons -of Lion members, who are in the young band of the town. The young band taking in- struction consists of twenty-three boys, and if any one has any .,ques- $ (tons abouj the prpgress being made, go to one of the Classes'. - One cannot understand, why the Principal of a Public School should lend s helping hand to nonresidents. Would it not be better to ask him- self why he was not assessed for business tax for selling radios. All monies collected for .business tax, 1i censes, make the burden easier for all. Where were the annjjes bought for the .Frolic ? We know, in Kitchener. Why not Seaforth ? Our merchants need the business. Are they not en- titled to make their usual small mar- gin ? They are requested : to be with you in your efforts. Come, get to-gether, lets push to help one anotheri if we .do we push the fairest town in Canada, RATEPAYER, BROTHER HONORED BY KING. The following from an Edinburgh, Scotland, paper refers to a brother of Mr, P. C, Calder of St. Cat•herines and formerly of Seaforth: "We are pleas- ed to observe that' in the list of hon-, ours published on Tuesday' to con- nection with the birthday of His Ma- jesty King George V., the Order of Member of the British Empire (•M.B. E,) has been conferred on the Rev. John Calder, minister Of Campbel- town Free Church, in recognition of. his services as a Chaplain of the Ter- ritorial, Army., "Rev.
