Series street lighting in Seaforth will be replaced with multiple coincident with the conversion to 60 cycles, the Public Utility Com- mission decided at a meeting on Monday. The change will permit the elimination of high voltage lines on many Seaforth streets, and will result in lowered maintenance and replacement costs. At the present time all street lights, except those on Main St., are in series. Under this system power is furnished from a 2,200 volt primary line, and in order to distribute at this voltage,;. higher poles and •additional crossarms than otherwise would .be the case, are required. The series lights have been in service for many ' years and control ap7:aratus with- in the substation has become worn to a -point where replacement will soon be necessary, according to W. R. Thuell, P.U.C. manager. Un- der nder the multiple system, this equipment is not required. The work of converting, which entails changing individual sockets and in- stallation of relays, is expected to be lower than would be the case were 'the present series system to be rebuilt. While it is not expected the change will be undertaken in the immediate future, a deciaion was required to permit planning for 60 cycle conversion to proceed. The meeting was attended by A. Y. McLean, 'chairman, Mayor J. E. Heating and Commissioner Ken Campbell. • ST. COLUMBAN C.W.L.

The familiar Easter story of the Crucifixion of Christ, from, the time He made His triumphant en- try into Jerusalem, until He arose from the dead, was told in song on Sunday evening by the oombined choirs of Northside Mitten Ohuroh, First Presbyterian Church and at; Thomas' Anglican Church, in'Firs't Presbyterian Church. The church was filled for the occasion. This service of Easter music was made possible through the conebin- ed efforts of the three choirs, un- der tlhe direction of Jas. A.Ste-W- art, choir leader of Northside Unit- ed Church, and R. E. Becktel, organist of First Presbyterian Church. The Easter story was, composed of both verse and song. Passages of Scripture relating to the chop ological events of Holy Week, terminating with Easter Sunday, were read by Rev. T. Dale Jones, rector of St. Thomas' • Anglican Church. Anthems, centering around this event, were rendered by the massed choirs, being interposed in their proper order between the passages of scripture. This is the second service of this nature in which the combined choirs have participated. At such sacred times, as Christmas and Easter, it was generally felt that interdenominational gatherings would do much for the propaga- tion of Christian fellowship, and at the same time would make it pos- sible for the people of Seaforth to enjoy many of the familiar sacred anthems and oratorios. The program included three well. known Easter hymns and the an- them, "Open the Gates of the Temple," "Alone in the Garden," male chorus from "The Crucifix- ion," "God So Loved the World, "Were You There' When They •Crucified. My Lord?", "Who Shall Roll Away the Stone" and "King of Kings." Mr. Becktel played as an organ prelude, "Come Unto. Him," by . Handel, •and as a post - ludo, "War March of ..,hhe Priests" —Mendelssohn. • Rev. H. V. Workman, of North- side United Church, offered the invocation prayer, and Rev. D. G. Campbell the offertory prayer. A silver collection was taken, the proceeds of which are to be used for the promotion of music among the choirs in•Seaforbh. • EASTER SERVICES AT BRUCEFIELD WELL ATTENDED Easter services in the United Church were well attended last Sunday.

The headquarters should allow extension of programs of existing - groups; be administered by a com- munity -wide council; be built with maximum Government aid, with. a service club helping to raise funds so as not to add to the tax rate; should be educational as well a i recreational; and should serve all age groups.
