CA l N WN•U• RELEASE Despite Leonard Borland's pro- tests that his bank account is simple, though the contracting -business in New York is dead, his pretty, openarstruck wife Doris resumes dei' "career," interrupted by her marriage at 19 and' the birth of two children. Borland knows her avowedpurpose, to bolster the family income, is just another 'subterfuge. Hugo Lor- entz, her teacher, always around, irritates -him. After Doris gives a 'Town Hall recital, Cecil Carver, opera singer, phones Borland. At her hotel, Cecil says Doris has a good voice but lacks style. Cecil is 'to sing for war veterans but isasun. the words of a certain :song. He singe it and she says he has a fine 'baritone voice. Cecil. knows of Doris through Lorentz, says Hugo is hopelessly in love with Doris, and that 'Doris tor- tures every man she gets in her -clutches. Leonard ought to wake her up by giving a recital, she says. "Go get yourself a triumph•. Hurt her where it hurts." Cecil +demands payment for lessons— kisses. He pays but declares he loves his" wife. He spends much time with Cecil, making good pro- ' grecs. Doris tells him Jack Leigh- ton is getting' her an engagement -Is a movie palace. Cecil, on tour, wires him, he sings in upstate re- citals, makes a hit and she gets him an engagement with an opera .company. Again he is scared stiff but manages to hold his own. A YOUR FAVOURITE BEVERAGE KIST I, IN ALL FLAVOURS1 Performance of "La, Boheme" ds on, and Parma, slid tenor, is 'speaking. "Make 'em dolce. Mahe 'em nice, sweet, no loud' at all. No big dra- matic. ramatic. Nice, a sweet, a sad. Yeah?" Parma begged. "I'll do my best," Leonard said. "You do like I say, we knock 'em over." So we went out there and got h�• u >i in erbre and' he through h t e ad g gingerbread, threw down his' pen 'and I threw down my paint brush, and we got out the props, and the orchestra played the introduction to the duet. Then he started to sing, and 1 woke up. I mean, I got it through my head that when that bird said dolce he meant dolce. He sang as though that bonnet of Mimi's, were some little bird he had in his hand, so ' it made a catch come in your throat to listen to him. When he hit the A; he lifted his eyes, with the side of 'his face to the audience, and held it a little, and then melted off it almost with a sigh. When he did. that he looked' at me and winked. It was that wink that told me what I had to do. I had to put deice in it. I came in on my' beat and tried to do it as be did it. When it canes to my little solo, I put tears in it. Maybe- there were just imita- tion tears, but they were tears. We went into the !finish and laid it right on. the end of .Mario's stick, and slopped out the tears in buck- ets- Buckets.? We turned the fire hose on them. It' stopped the show. They didn't only clap—they cheer- ed; so we had to repeat it. 'That's dead against the rules, and Mario tried to go on, but they wouldn't let him. We got through the act, and Parma flopped on the bed for the last two "Mimi's" and the cur- tain came down to a terrific 'band. We took our first two bows, the whole gang that were in the act, and when we came back from the second one Mario was back there. Cecil yelled in my ear, "Take him out; take him out! a So. I..,took, him, out. I grabbed him by one hand, she by the other, and we led him out, and they gave him a big hand., too. That seemed to fix it up about that missed cue It was a half-hour before I could SEAFORTH MONUMENT WORKS OPEN DAILY PHONE 363-J T. PRYDE & SON ALL TYPES OF CEMETERY MEMORIALS Enquiries are invited.

I obliged, ands signed "Logan Bennett" Then I washed up and met Cecil, 'and we got a cab and went off to eat. . Wd went to a night club. It had a dance floor, and tables around I that and booths' around the wall. We to ak' a booth. We ordered a steak for two, and then she order- ed some red burgundy to go with it and sherry to start. That was unusual with her. She's like most singers. She'll give you a drink, but she doesn't take much herself. • She saw me look at her. "I waist something. I—want to celebrate." "O.K. with me. Plenty all right." "Did you enjoy yourself?" "I enjoyed the final curtain." "Didn't you enjoy the applause after the 0 Mimi duet? It brought down -the house." "It was. all right." "Is that all you have to say about it?" "I liked it fine." "You mean, you really liked it?" "Yeah, but I hate to admit it, but I really liked it. 'That was. the prettiest music I heard all night." The sherry came and we raised our Oases, clinked, and had a sip. "Leonard, I love it." "You're better at it than in con- cert." "You're telling me? I hate con- certs. But opera—I just love it, and if you ever hear me saying again that I don't want to be a singer you'll know I'm temporarily insane. I love it; I love everything 'about it, the smell, the lights, the high notes, the low notes, the applause, the curtain call's—everything." "You must feel good tonight." "I do. Do you?" "I feel all right." "Is it—the way you thought it would 'be?'; "I never thought." • "..'Not.even—just a little bit?" "You mean, that it's nice, and silly and cockeyed, that I should be an opera singer, when all God in- tended' me for was a dumb contrac- tor, and that it's a big joke that came off just the way you hoped it would, and, I never believed it would, and—something like that?" "Yes, that's what I means" "Then, yes." "Let's dance." We danced, and I held her close, and smelled her hair, and she nes- tled it up against my face. "It's gay, isn't it?" "Yes." "I'm almost happy, Leonard." "Me, too." "Let's go back to our little booth. I want to be kissed." So we went back to the booth and she got kissed, and we laughed about the way I had hid from Mario, and drank the wine and ate steak. I had' to cut the steak left- handed, so -I wouldn't joggle her TURNBULL & BRYANS • Veterinary Clinic J. O. Turnbull, D.V.M. W. R. Bryans, D.V.M.

The Saturday matinee in Indian- aspolis' was "Faust." I met Cecil in• the main diningroom that morn- ing, around ten o'clock, for break- fast, reakfast, and, while we were eating, , Rossi came over and sat down. He didn't have much to say. He kept asking the waiter if any call had come for him and bit his finger- nails, and pretty • soon it came out that the guy who was to sing Wag-' ner that afternoon wouldn't copse to the theatre, on account of a writ his wife would serve on him if he showed up there, and that Roesi was waiting to find out if some' singer in Chicago could come down and, do it. His call came through, and when he came back he said hie man was tied up. That meant somebody from. the chorus would have to do it, and that wasn't so good. And then 'Cecil popped out: "Well, what are we talking about, with him sitting here. Here, baby; here's my key. There's a score up in my room. You can just hike your- self ourself up there and learn it" "What? Learn it in one morning and then sing it?" "There are only a few pages of it," Cecil said. "Faust is in French, isn't it?" I said, hopelessly. "Oh, dear.. He doesn't sing French." But Rossi fixed' that part up. He had a score in Italian and I was' to learn it in that and sing it in that, with the rest of them sing- ing French. So . the next thing I knew I was up there in my room with a score, and by one o'clock I had it learned'; and by two o'clock Rossi had given me the business, and by three o'clock I was in a cos- tume they dug up, out there doing it. That made more impression on them than anything I had done yet. You see., they don't pay much' at- tention to a guy who knows three roles, all coached up by heart. They know all, about them. But a guy who can get a role' up quick and go out there and do it, even if he makes a few mistakes, that guy can really be some use around an opera company. Rossi came to my dressing room after I finished •in "Traviata" that night and offered' me a contract for the rest of the season. He said Mr. Mario was very much pleased with me, especially the way I had gone in on. Wagner. He offered me $150 a week. I thanked him, and said no. He came up to $175. I still said no. 'He came up to $200 I still said no, and asked him not to bid any higher, as'•,it wasn't a question of money. He couldn't fig- ure it out, but, after a while we shook hands and that was that. That night Cecil anti I ate in a quiet little place we had found where we were practically the only customers. After we ordered she said, "Did Rossi speak to you?"

The Institute Ode was sung, the Lord's Prayer repeated; in unjron atilt the ,Mary Stewart Col- t ect. The roll call was answered by an exchange of plants 'and bulbs by about 25 members. Correspond- ence was read 'by the secretary, Mrs. J, M•cNairn. Thank -you cards from Mrs. Elgie and Miss Kate El - beam • were read !icon for gifts r ce ved e and Mrs. Eldon 'Kerr and Mrs. Cole- man both expressed thanks for -be- ing remembered when they were 'aIrs. H. Hugill and Mrs. Lorne Carter were appointed as delegates• to the district annual to be held in Kippen on June 12. It was also de- gided' to have the secretary write Dr. E. A. McMaster in regard to a rest room in .Seaforth, which is very badly needed. -The meeting was' then turned ov- er to Mrs. Lorne Carter, who with Mrs. H. Hugill were in charge of the meeting. A song, "The More We Get Together," was sung. The mot- to, "Back of loaf is snowy flour, back of the flour the mill; back of the mill is wheat and shower, sun and the Father's Will," was very ably taken 'byi ,Mrs, Paul Doig, whose subject was. a jungle level- ling project in Ceylon, A solo, "Beautiful Brown Eyes," by Mrs. Ross' Gordon was enjoyed. Mrs. Carter then introduced Mr. Harvey Leslie, of Seaforth, who spoke on the conditions of 1951 compared with 1950 in the farm marketing industry. The year 1951 showed con- siderable progress and the year 1952 has many undercurrents of strength to boost sales. The present cheese situation has been the hard- est hit in the dairy industry be- cause we have no contract with Britain for cheese this year. At a meeting held in Stratford last week the outlook was very discouraging in regard to the butter situation. The Government has 12 million pounds of butter in storage at the present time, which will be on the market the first of June at 56c a pound. Mr. Leslie also spoke of the process of making white paper from the salvage paper collected from time to time. A paper entitled, "The Dairy Cow," by Pauline Drope, who won the Ontario ,Public Speaking Con- test, concluded Mr. Leslie's address. The meeting closed by singing "God Save the Queen," and Mr. and, Mrs. Walker Hart favored with musical selections during lunch hour. A vote of thanks to Mr. Leslie, the hostess and. all taking part in the program was moved by Mrs. Harold Hugill. At a recent meeting in 'Hensall, Institute members were asked for socks' and pyjamas for the 'Chil- dren's Shelter as these things are badly needed to fit children from six months to 16 years. Anyone having any of these they could, donate, please contact the presi- dent, Mrs. A. Pepper. CONSTANCE The May meeting of the Young People's Missionary Society was held in the Sunday School May 11. The meeting opened with Hymn 237. The Scripture lesson was read by Joyce Buchanan; business by Mrs. Buchanan. It was suggested to invite the Winthrop Young People for May 21 and 'have Mrs. (Rev.) Brenton as- guest speaker. It was moved that Francis Cook, Betty Addison and Ross Millson be the program committee for the even- ing and Fred; Buchan, Mary Whyte, and Helen McIlwain as lunch com- mittee. The study book was given by Murray Dale, Minutes of the last meeting were read, and the roll call answered and collection taken. The roll call will be answered nest month by your favorite verse from the Bible. The meeting closed with the Lord's Prayer. A middle-income family of four persons will pay about $1,600 this year in federal, provincial and mun- icipal taxes. o EGMONDVILLE: JOHN BLUE Phone 645 SEAFORTH: "Consider the honor and integrity of him who makes the goods before you buy." That was the counsel a wise man of ancient Bagdad gave to a young man who wanted to know how to get his "money's worth." It's still good advice today ... when we say "look for the. John Deere trademark." For more than 110 years farmers have sought out the John Deere name as their assurance of quality when buying farm equipment. They know that the familiar leaping deer has always labeled only farm equipment designed and con- structed to give them the maximum service at the lowest possible cost. Today, more John Deere equipment is being sold than ever before. John Deere regards this farmer confidence as a sacred trust that is guarded zealously ,fp maintaining John Deere service and quality "true to tradition." W. G.

Mrs. Milton McAdams won a level vase in a draw, and Mrs. Newell Geiger, secretary -treasurer for some years, was presented with a silver salt and pepper shakers in recognition of the splendid services she has rendered to the organiza- tion.

Have they found life so dull and 'boring that it can be tol- erated only when the human sys- tem is jazzed up by high balls and cocktails? Do they feel so inferior that they can be happy with- them- selves only when alcohol has incit- ed- in them a false confidence? It's a reflection- on their own self- esteem and it's a reflection on their Creator when they borrow the show courage of alcohol. The truth of the matter is that there is noth- ing like alcohol to make a man a ni,isan•ce--noisy, quarrelsome and profane—an embarrassment to his friends and' afterwards an object of reproach to shimself. -This also is the truth of the matter; life in it- self is' so -good and its enjoyments so keen, it's a shame to spoil it all with strong drink, intoxication and drunkenness.—(Advt.). en'i3; oa4 o 11eer a. lSe4400 *e ar ; c Statictn‘and. tr,r It tp YkAl'.G.li1•jl 3 I forerOgul '.-ubtsrn 1' -eeetion. g � 11ndtr� hie •;dQ m&n aha ro� riY si g n 00 e ship,.. ttasf-alyveya beien noted :fol' .its Pigre,M;' iiw# kftiele4eY, 'nud on , ee thi el ens.; :third nt�,,$ ' oecasii ne Mr: Alleu•'`fo4k the Road Iatio`2$ i,, 1�• ;tt elf let ✓�-r from COMING OUT THIS MONTH!

In the Company's Annual Report. just released, President H. Gre- ville Smith (right) told share- holders of record $101/2 million spent on new construction in 1951. Many new chemical pro- 1ects were started to provide you with better things' in the future. By far the largest single project ever undertaken by C -I -L is the plant to manu- facture nylon intermediates at Maitland, Ontario. It will make Canatia self-sufficient in all chemicals needed to manufacture this wonder fabric. The new plant will lead to more nylon for your easier living. CANADIAN INDUSTRIES LIMITED SERVING CANADIANS THROUGH CHEMISTRY, MONTREAL • appeal to All citizens TO KEEP MAY 24th WEEK -END FREE OF ACCIDENTS Holiday week -ends bring unusual traffic hazards to Ontario. More drivers and pedestrians use the streets and highways. More miles are travelled. More time is spent out of doors, and thousands of children are re- leased from school. All these factors swell the normal traffic volume and increase the danger of accidents. I earnestly urge all citizens, and all leaders in com- munity and municipal life, to encourage widespread awareness of the need for safer driving and safer walking. The traffic accident record can be kept down—if each of us does his part. • The Department of Highways is conducting a planned attack 'on accidents. Let us all work together to keep the approaching holiday period free of accidents. GEO. H. DOUCETT MINISTER i1
