A. Y. P. A.. PRESENTS PLAYS
The A.Y.P.A. of St. Paul's church
put on three little one -act plays in
'the town hall on Friday evening last,
providing an entertainment which
was much enjoyed. There were fif-
teen young people taking part and
they; each played their part excel-
lently and the audience keenly aps
preaiated the funny situations which
developed as the acts progressed.
The first little playlet, "A Propos-
al Under Difficulties," had four ace
tors, a popular young lady, her two
lovers and a maid. The two young
men came to the lady's house to
propose and the first one on the
scene, being very nervous, had got
himself into an embarrassing position
when the maid accepted his propos-
al, wh.ieh he was rehearsing on his
knees while he waited for the ap-
pearance of his lady love. Then the
other man arrived and each tried in
vain to get the other off the prem-
ises, WQten the young lady appear-
ed the atmosphere was decidedly
strained, and one unhappy incident
followed another until, in despera-
tion, the nervous Iover made a clean
breast of everything and got in
his proposal right under his rivaI's
nose, as it were. The lady accepted
and everything was lovely, for the
rival proved to be a good sport,
Miss Mary Hovey acted the part
of the young lady very nicely while
M'rs. L. C. Harrison cleverly actod
the role of maid and Messrs. Pail
Hovey and Stewart Taylor represent-
ed in good style the lovers.
The next play, "Not Quite Such a
Goose," showed how quickly a school-
boy can change his hind about a
lot of things when a girl takes his

THE HOME PAPER
THE REORGANIZATION
The current .amber of The Cana-
dian Music
Trades Joutl
x al carries
an.interesting write-up of the change
in the Sherlock-Mlanning'Piano and
Organ Co., report 'of which The
News-leecorcl carried g! few weeks
ago, when the .interests of Mr. J. F.
Sherlock were purchased by Mr., W.
N, Manning, the :business being now
known as Sherloek-Manlxiug Pianos;
Limited,
Mr. WJ. N. Mianning is president
and treasurer, M'r, A.: A. Pegg is
vice-president and sales manager,
ailed Mr. Retold B. Manning of Clin-
ton is on the' board of directors. Of
the latter the Journal says: "Herold
B. Manning, in coming on the board
of directors, brings a thorough ex-
perience in factory methods and
cost systems, etc., that are
so i
m-
portant a factor in modern produc-
tion
roducttion success," Continuing to quote,
from The Journal: "Mr:: W. rL. iVlan-
ning as a lad entered the office 01
W. Doherty Piano and Organ Co., in
1888. A year and a• half later
Frank Sherlock joined . the firm as
wholesale traveller. In 1902 they
both resigned, formed a partnership
and began their own piano and organ
business in London. By 1920 five
additions had been made t'
a the plant
and the firm was one of the most
important units in the Canadian
musical, instrument industry. Dur-
ing 1920 Doherty Pianos, Ltd., was
purchased and has been operated
continuously ever since, ll4r. Man-
ning, outside of his business, has
long taken a keen interest in the
educational,
economic C andmoral
No al

o his cityandm
the

e
affairs of the ' Do n
'n
inn n, making
him one of the prominent industrial-
ists of Western Ontario."
The change, it is hoped, will be
of benefit to Clinton as the bulk of
the firm's manufacturing' activities
will be carried on in the Clinton fac-
tory, Clinton's oldest and largest
industry has a warm place in the
heart of the community and its con-
tinued success will be a source of
pride and pleasure to all. •
