Last fall the presentation of "A Bold Front" was. ,considered by many one of the best amateur performances ever staged in this district. The cast realizing that their efforts were well appreciated by. the people of this community, decided to form a Dramatic Club. Since the formation of the Club "A Bold Front" has been played in Blyth and Brussels and the audience at both places were highly pleased. The Blyth Standard wrote in glowing termso this presentation and says it was on of the best entertainments yet held in Blyth. This town has a splendid hall and has been staging local play and outside talent right along. The Dramatic Club can be a worth It is said that there are wolves near Guelph.

B. Armitage and his splen- did organization we have every rea- son to look forward to the club being a wonderful success. Already a new play has been chos- en, which will be presented next fall and the cast can rest assured that the public are anxiously awaiting for them to stage another play. It may be we have a Mary Pick- ford or a George Arliss unknown in our midst and it is only by such means as a dramatic club presents that the .discovery can be made. * * * * DAYLIGHT SAVING The mixture of standard and day- light saving time in Ontario is really quite a nuisance. Most places are on standard time but some llm the day- light system. It is very disconcert- ing to take an hour longer to go to some place and to save this hour on the retrun trip. Daylight saving has some advant- ages; men working in factories, also clerks in stores, etc., have more day- light in the evening with which to en- joy summer pastimes or work in the garden. In England the whole coun- try goes on this system at the one time and it seems to work out well. But here with a mixture of times, day- light saving does not have the appeal. We are an agricultural country and the work done on the farms is gov- erned b_v the conditions of the weath- er and the rise and fall of the sun. Daylight saying is not any advantage oto the farmer and we think that for tis it is much better to stay on stand- ard time. Mothers as a rule do not enjoy day- light saving time as it is a problem to get the children to sleep while it is yet daylight, and as proper rest is most essential to the health of child- ren we again feel opposed to change of time, * * ,1= * It is said bankers' salaries run from $3300 to $13,500 per year and the jun- ior clerk thinks it takes too long run- ning away from the 5300 mark.

Wake up your Liver Bile —Without Calomel Your liver's s very small organ, but it cer- tainly canput your digestive and eliminative organs out of kilter, by refusing to pour out its daily two pounds of liquidbile into your bowels You won't completely correct such a condition by taking salts, oil, mineral water, laxative candy or ehewu g gum, or roughage. When they've moved your bowels they're through—and you meed a fiver stimulant. Carter's Little Liver Pills will soon bring back the sunshine into your life, They're purely vege- table. Safe. Sure.

This was followed by a very fine article on the Easter lesson. The President, Mrs. R. Stocks, conducted a brief business session which included arrangements for the packing of a bale, the first week in June.

LOCAL INSTITUTE ENJOY OUTING Twenty members of Wroxeter Wo men's Institute, as well as a large delegation from Gorrie, journeyed to Fordwich on Tuesday afternoon and spent a delightful afternoon as guests of the Fordwich Branch and also to hear the Dept. speaker, 14Irs.

Mrs, Williamson, president of the Fordwich Branch, presided and with her on the platform were: Mrs. L. Ashton, Mrs. J. Adams, Miss Esther Harding, president of Gorrie, Wroxeter, and Rutnum Girls, respectively, also the guest speaker, Mrs. Percival.

The president graciously welcomed the visitors after which Mrs. Gordon Bar- ton of the Gorrie Branch, favored with a piano solo.. Mrs. D. S. Mac - Naughton gave a reading "No Room for the Boys." Mrs. Percival was then introduced to the audience. Mrs. Per- cival is a college graduate and a far- mer's wife, a leader in her own com- munity and a member of the Women's Instittue for many years. Her first subject was "Beautification of the Home, Inside and Out," and the audience d encs swas thrilled as she pictured the possibilities of home attractions by flowers, trees and driveways, with a small expenditure. Her inside beautification ideas con- sisted of rug making, displaying small rugs made of wool which she had washed and dyed, and they were in- deed most beautiful and practical. Wool filled quilts and painting with novelty decorations, were some of the attractive things demonstrated by the speaker. After a period of community singing, Mrs. Percival gave a talk on "Canning Vegetables and Meats" which proved interesting and profit- able to those present, Miss M. Mcllwain favored with a solo 1 "Bluebirds" and Mrs. Leslie Knight gave a reading "Housecleaning Time" after which the National Anthem dos- ed. the session.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON I THE FUTURE OF THE KING- DOM. Sunday, May 20.—Matt. 24;1 to 25;30. Golden Teat: The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of ;Elis Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever, (Rev. 11:1g.) The second coining of Christ, the theme of this lesson, is a subject about which there has been strong disagree- ment, sometimes sharp dispute, through the centuries since His first coming. it is undoubtedly studied more widely today in the Christian Church than ever before in our life- time, perhaps more widely than at any tirrle since the first Christian century, As the Lord was near the temple at Jerusalem with His disciples, they cullers; His -attention to the splendor of the temple buildings, He startled. them with the prediction: "There shall not be 'left here one stone upon an- other, that shall not be thrown down It was as though some public person- age in ; Ottawa should point to the Capital and make the sane remark, It seemed even more unbelievable of the temple of God in the Holy City; They went to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples asked Him privately, three questions. "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall, be the sign of Thy coining, and of the end of the world?" These last words are translated properly, "the consum- mation of the age." "These things" meant the destruc- tion of the temple and of Jerusalem, which occurred less than forty years later, in A.D. 70. The answer to this question is given in the parallel ac- count, by Luke, of this Olivet dis course (Luke 21:20-24), "When ye shall see' Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that tie desolation thereof is nigh." Our Lord's reply to the send and third questions, which are practically one, is the most of this long discourse in these two lesson chapters and in Mark 13 and Luke 12. Whatever may be one's personal conviction as to the Lord's return and the end of the age, this great dis- course of His, given on a mount like His Sermon on the Mount at 'the be- ginning of His ministry, is ofvital and eternal significance. He desrcibed the course of the age or dispensation that was just begin- ning and in which we still live. "Wars and rumors of wars" should continue throughout the age—this has been true for nineteen centuries. Famines, pestilence, earthquakes should occur— and they have. And it is impressive to note that in a single recent decade, from 1912 to 1922, occurred a world war, a world pestilence, a stupendous, famine (in Russia), and a stupendous earthquake (in China), each these c of four staggering events said to be the greatest of its kind known in history. The Lord predicted the arising of "false Christs, and false prophets,' and this has occurred. He uttered the warning: "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." For, He declared, there would be no mistaking the com- ing of Christ when that occurs! "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." All men shall know it when Christ comes again, for "all the tribes of the earth . .. shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory." With these predictions the Lord gave words of exhortation to be ready for His coming. The coming will be unexpected when it does occur, there- fore the only way to be ready for that time is to be ready all the time. "Therefore, be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." In this Olivet discourse the Lord told two parables showing the impor- tance of readiness in His service while awaiting his return. He describes an Oriental wedding occasion in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. They took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. They all had lamps, but the wise took oil with them, the fool- ish took none. It was at night, and "while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumber- ed and slept"; then "at midnight there was a cry made, Behold., the bride- groom cometh; go ye out to meet him." Those who were ready trimmed their lamps and could go to meet him with shining lights. The others, hav- ing no oil, found their lamps' gone out. Those who were ready went in- to the marriage with the bridegroom; the others were ' shut out. And the Lord added the interpretation of this parable: "V1'atch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh," The other parable told of a mars who gave his various servants varying, amounts of money to trade With as his stewards while he travelled in a far country. "After a long time" he returned andhad a r•eciconing with those servants. :This expression "af- ter a long time" is one of several in dications in the New Testament that point, not to an early return of the Lord after His ascension, but to a prolonged absence before His return, The servants who had done well with what was entrusted to thein re- ceived their master's high commenda- tion; the one who had failed to do as he should was condemned as a "wicked and slothful servant," and the Lord pronounced the judgment: "Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer. darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth," Frenchman: "Ah, you climb the Matterhorn) That is a foot to be proud of." Englishman: "Pardon, me, sir, you mean 'feat'." lrenehtnan: "So you climb it more than once, eh?" CANADIANS GREAT TELEPHONE USERS Canada is' maintaining its position of world leadership in the matter of telephone usage. This is only one of the evidence of this country's prom- inence in the field of •communication, asrevealed by the statistical record just issued by the Bell System. It deals with electrical communication throughout the world, and the figures are as of January 1, 1933. Canadians make more use of the telephone than any other people, In 1932 Canadians helot 224,5 telephone conversations per capita. New Zea- land with a comparable figure of 205.8 and the United States with 204.6, were the only other countries in which tele- phone talks per person exceeded the 200 mark, Denmark led Europe in this connection with 151.8, followed by Sweden with 137.6. Canadians made .almost seven times more use of the telephone than the British who re- ported 33,0 calls per capita, the same figure as given by Germany and more than eleven times more than the peo- ple of France wlio made 20.5 calls per capita. With 21.02 telephones per 100 popu- lation in cities of 50,000 and .over, Canada is second in this regard only to Sweden with 22.45. The United States ranks third with 19.52. In the smaller towns 'and villages, Canada retains third position with 7.96 tele- phones per 100 inhabitants. The Un- ited States is first with 10.17 and New Zealand follows with 9.62 based on statistics compiled up to and includ- ing March 31, 1933. Canada's rank- ing in this regard emphasizes that residents of our cities and towns of less than 50,000 people are better equipped with telephones and their as- sociated apparatus than are inhabi- tants of most of Europe's largest and more important centres. Canada, with 1,261,245, ranks fifth in absolute bso tate number of telephones and is led only by the United States, Ger- many, Great Britain, (including Nor- 'Thursday, May I7,i:h, I034 'ake i Coi & FL Tonic Taldets For ealth-v-StrengittanauVigor HAVE STOMACH TROUBLE?

ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH T'i r' E CARE ULRi;JV:RS F ONT Li,,' Its • • Congratulations--� and a u Re t q est . There has been a gratifying decrease in the number of automotive accidents in Ontario. There were fewer deaths in 1933, fewer persons injured, less property damage. The decrease in accidents has been substantially greater than the percentage of decrease in registrations. To those drivers who helped in this improvement the thanks of this department, the thanks of every citizen of Ontario, is due, and you have mine in large measure. But, we have only made a beginning! Despite the improvement shown, there were 8,634 serious accidents last year, 403 men, women and children were illed. 7,877 persons were injured! By whom? Who were responsible onsible for these deaths andinjuries? nJuries. The drivers involved were, for the most part, honest, decent citizens; men and women who are usually careful, who only take a chance now and. then. They were of no special class. Some of them lie in your street, perhaps next door to you. One of them might have b6en you! Every one of these drivers is sorry now ---truly sorry but all the regret in the world cannot restore life or limb. The habitually reckless, callous driver is a known, visible menace. Against him swift action can be taken. But it is to the usually careful motorist, like yourself, that this department must look for help in making Ontario's streets and highways safer for driver andpedestrian alike. • Will you help ? -- this season more than ever before! The way is simple, the result can be far-reaching. Careful driver, respond to _ this appeal! Remember that it only takes a moment for an accident to happen—one lapse from safe - driving, In that one moment may occur a tragedy which the offending driver may never be able to forget. Every time you sit at the wheel of your car be safety -conscious. Watch ! Drive safely always all the way. MMiIWISTEtt Tarontc., May 1st, 1934.
