Very Successful Play Trinity Church Drams is Club, presented "Aunt Tillie Goes To Town" in Bayfield Town Hall on Friday evening before a large and apprec- iative audience. The scene of this three -act farcical comedy is set in the living room of Aunt Tillie Trask (Mrs. Lloyd Scotch - mer). When the curtain rises Aunt Tillie's maid, Lucinda Talbot (Mrs. Jack Sturgeon, Jr.), who practises all sorts of beauty aids, with a view to getting herself a man, is discovered asleep on the chesterfield. She is awakened by the telephone which proves to be a call for Aunt Tillie Trask to go to town to visit her solicitors concerning a bequest left her by an uncle who resided in China. She is expecting her niece, Pamela Marsh (Milvena Sturgeon) and Mer- vin Tucker (Garfield Westlake), who were to have been married that day. Mervin arrives alone anT meets his friend, Ronald Howland (Jack Sturg- eon, Jr.) Not wishing to meet Miss Trask, who doesn't hold men in very high regard, without her niece Pam- ela, he disappears but his suitcase is left. Aunt Tillie Trask sets hers down in the room and when she leaves picks up Mervin. He goes for a swim and loses his clothes, ,anti when next he appears it clad in a barrel. The For Body and Fender Repairing SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 14 YEARS' EXPERIENCE C. R. Crossman Body Shop Rattenbury St. W., Just West of Bartliff's Bakeshop PRONE 594 suitcase which he supposes is his contains women's clothing in which. he is forced to clothe himself. Ronald Howland takes charge and introduces him as "Aunt Tillie." Pamela arrives and is received by Lizzie Parsons (Mrs. W. Sturgeon), a young novelist who plays on Pamela's doubts concerning Mervin having left her in the lurch. She does not knew that he has become financially involv- ed with a'group of Chinese over the purchase of an idol and is in con- stant fear of them. And so the plot rolls up and other little plots form. Masquerading as "Aunt Tillie, Mer- vin Tucker gets into many predica- ments. redicaments but Ronald Howland always explains. The arrival of a Chinese cook, Charlie One Lung (Audrey Sturgeon) adds to Mervin's embar- rassment, Then Betty Neelands (Betty Lou :Larson) complicates mat- ters by coming in search of Mervin. Ronald's employer, Luther Lorrimer, (Charles Gemeinhardt) arrives and 'offers Ronald • a position in China, providing he marries immediately. His efforts to please his employer add td the hilarity. Mervin's own Aunt Tillie Tucker (Mrs. William Parker) arrives to complicate matters and then Tillie 'Trask returns in Mer - vin's clothes. Dr. Hattie Bing (Bev- erley York) comes to give Miss Trask a chiropractic treatment and insists on practising on Mervin•. This is just about the last straw! However, things unravel, Aunt Tilleee Trask softens in her attitude towards men and "goes to town," with Luther Lorrimer. Mervin manages to get his own clothes and he and Pamela are reconciled while Ronald goes to press his suit for Betty Neeland's hand and Lucinda's Danny "pops" over the telephone. The play was under the direction of the Rector, Rev. R. C. Holmes, whe introduced the cast and to whom a great cleal of credit is due for the splendid performance. The actors and actresses all took their pasts well and it would be difficult to judge which were best. But Garfield West- lake deserves special mention for the way in which he handled the long and difficult dual role of Mervin Tucker. Mrs. Jack Sturgeon's histrionic abil- ity shone forth again in her portrayal of Lucinda. 0 Adidtional Correspondence Elsewhere in This Issue J. J.

He lacked ready cash for his business. He makes small novelties—does a nice business in them, too. But he normally allows his customers thirty or even sixty days to pay. In the meantime he has to pay his workmen every week, meet his power . bills every month ... pay promptly for metal and wood and other raw materials t0 earn valuable discounts. So, yesterday, like the sensible business- man he is, he borrowed enough from the Royal Bank for his current needs. When Twitchett's customers pay him, he'll pay off the bank. . This is a simple illustration of bank credit in action. It shows how bank credit, as an everyday tool of business, provides "working capital" to keep men working. MOST BUSINESSES ARE SMALL • Not size but soundness is the primary • test of any business and of its ability • to borrow. We count thousands of • small businesses among our valued • customers. In fact, most of our large . accounts are companies which started • in a small way and steadily grew through the wise use of our bank credit. The Royal Bank Manager is • there to serve all types and sizes of ▪ business. He'd like to serve you. • • • • THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA CLINTON BRANCH: G. J.

Form "Save the Children Club" The ,Red Cross IJnit met at the home of Mrs. B. McMath Tuesday afternoon, April 9. Mrs, Walter pre- sided over the meeting which opened with singing "Blest be the tie that binds," followed by the Lord's' Pray- er. The minutes were read. Mrs. Elmer Potter, treasurer of the expense fund, gave a full report. Out of this fund, during the war years, Holmesville friends sent boxes to. their local boys who were over- seas. Since the last meetinr a ,com- mittee purchased and presented each boy with a gift of a billfold with his name inscribed in gilt. Discussion of whether to continue working as a Red Cross Unit, follow- ed by a ballot vote, resulted decisively in favor of disbanding. Mrs. Walter reminded every one that any one who wished to continue working could do so by applying to Mrs. Cook, or Mrs, Herman at Clinton. The farmer's wives are free to help raise some of the food the world is crying for. Following the vote, a short program was presented. Mrs. McClinchey fav- ored with mouth organ solo, Mrs. E. Potter with a vocal solo, Mrs. P. Palmer and Mrs. Walter with hum- orous readings. Rev. C. C. Tavener, as pastor, and Mrs. Will Jervis, as past president, were called on for speeches. Both expressed regret at the turn of events. Mrs. Jervis re- ferred to the plight of Europe's children and the opportunity of doing something through the "Save the Children Fund." This brought out a new discussion, which resulted in the forming of a "Save the Children Club," with the following officers: President, Mrs. Lorne Jervis; secre- tary, Mrs. Leslie Jervis; treasurer, Mrs. B. McMath. The meeting unani- mously adopted the suggestion of Mrs. Palmer, that oath of the three groups, have a travelling basket, these baskets to return monthly to the treasurer who will send the money on to Toronto, Before the meeting closed with the Mi pall benediction, Mrs, Walter thanked all those who had helped in the work of the Unit. The secretary then proved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Walter who besides being the most prolific worker has acted as president since early in 1945. The members showed their appreciation by a very hearty hand clap. Mrs. McMath's group served a lovely lunch after the meeting. There were twenty adults and three children present.
