It is understood that asurvey 'is being made of Many tolwns by this chain. Seaforth has been without its usual recreational 'facilities this - year since the theatre closed and it is estimated that thousands of dollars will have been sent out of the community for entertainment before thewinter is ov- er. The youngsters, particularly, 'have. been 'out of luck; because there has been practically :no s'kating, and ori'' Friday evenings the once happy throngs of children now ' wander dis consddately about the streets,10 gangs,. with no place to go.

Truemner, TH'OMAS'MCMJLLAN LIBELS' HIS COINISTITUHNTS, SURELY 1When he stated that he voiced the feeling of his constituents as 'approv- ing -the salary cut of ten per cent. all around, Mr. Thomas McMillan, ,M:P., on Friday last, in the House of Com- mons, speaking to the proposed reduc- tion of ten per cent, in indemnities and salaries, overlooked the self-slacri_ ficing determination of the people Of Huron to give their public servants olf the best, good times or bad. The higher salaries to which Mr. Mc3Fiilan refers are borne by the ten million pe'olple of the Dominion and make an insignitfi'cant .call on the pock- ets of his constituency; 'whereas, on the other hand, his constituents cheer- fully grant increases to $4,000•sa-year pedagogical salaries in our secondary schools, borne by a mere handful of willing taxpayers of the small towns and townships. • Consistency thou art a jewel—and all that stuff 1 Mr. 3,lcMillan said: "Coining more particularly to the matter under discussion, 1 agree entirely with the .gentle- men who have expressed them- selves on this side when they are opposed to a'horizontal cut in the 'remuneration Of civil servants. I think the hon. member for South Perth (Mr. Sanderson) asked -a very reasonable question a mo- me'nt.ago when he inquired of the M'i'nister of Railways (Mr. Ma- nion) whether it .was the policy of the government that certain specified officers and employees of the service as well as judge's would be asked to turn in a por- tion Of their salaries along with other civil servants, Personally, I know I'voice the feeling of my constituents -when -I say that they approve of the salary cut of ten per cent all around, but they are also firmly of the opinion that those 'receiving .much higher: salar- ies should be more deeply cut than they are according to the pro- visions .df the resolution as it now reads, Sofar as judges are con- cerned, while ' as we have heard fronr?s.ministers of the crown— and we did not expect any other answer—that there has been nb word from any of • our judicial officers offering to make a contri- bution from their salaries, in the situation which exists in . this country to -day I think it is only asking what is right when we urge that the judges of our land should help us to meet the pres- ent crisis by Making a substant- ial contribution along with other servants of the state. 1'f ever there was a time in the history of Canada when those receiving higher 'salaries Should accept, with, the greatest good feeling a pro- portionate reduction in their re- muneration, that Hine is the pre. sent, and Ido hope that -before this matter is concluded, 'before the final decision is made by the house, the government will de- termine upon a deeper cut in the higher 'salaries that are being paid to .our .public servants, and also that the judiciary will be required to make their just and reasonable ' contribution." Y. P. L. Mr. ,Sawn Scott, convener of the de- votional department, had charge of the meeting Of Y. IP. L of Northside United Church on 'Tues'd'ay evening, March tl'et. We opened the meeting by singing hylinn 381, after which Mr. Porteous led in prayer. The Scrip- ture reading was taken • by, Miss. Ethel Norris, The niinu'tes of the last meeting were read by 'the secre tary, Miss Dorene Hudson and adopt- e'd., After singing hymn 2146 Lieu- tenant 'Htasw,ell of the Salvation Ar- my ably delivered an excellent and instructive address on "What is a Christian." Miss Gertrude 'Webster then f 8vloured us with a very pleas- ing solo, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Lane. On singing the clos- ing, hynnn '56 ' the Magas benediction was rep'eate'd in unison. Ain unique contest brou'gh't the meeting to a close. CH-AUTAUQUA There Was never a ,period in the history of Canada when people needed the information, insapirati.on and ent- ertainment which the Chautauqua. brings. The management , of Cana- dian .Chautauquas, together with the constructive suggestions '. of leading committeemen, have built tip a serieis of pragr+ammes this year which is withoutequal in the thistory of the 1 Oan adieu Ohadtau:qua movement.

'Vierra's Hawaiians.—One of the brightest and most co'lorftil treats is appearing in Gardno's Hall, Seaforth,on the second day of the Chautauqua —'"An Evening in Hawaii," presented by Vierra's Hawaiians. Albert Vierra and his notable com- pany of native singers and instrumen- talists feature Hawaiian music as it should be playedand sung. Mr. Vi- erra has won fame. throughout Eur- ope and America for his artistic mus- ical productions wh'i'ch give a vivid glimpse of life: in the far away addglamorous islands of .the Pacific. One of the novel features of this bnil'11ant entertainment is the talk which will be given by Mrs. Vierra in the afterndon, in which she describes delightfully the life of Happy Hawaii and its .people. The history of Hawaii_ is a romantic one, and .Mrs. Vierra tells it with singular charm, "Bought and ;Paid ,For" -One of the Mostsuccessful of modern plays will be produced at Chautauqua On the first night by the ,Peerless Players, This play deal's :with a .most modern problem, in a most convincing way— a problem which occurs l i the lives of many young married people. The happy, practical solution of this tangle appeals to audiences everywhere. The situations which arise bring many laughs, but the philosophy which emerges as the plot unfo'l'ds, will be vividly impressed in the ,mind's of all. 'Hugo Brandt.—This distinguishedPolishpianist and Co'rnposer, will ap- pear on the *Mud night with 'a prog- ramme of just the right balance and variety of piano se'lecti'ons to arouse some sympathetic vibration from ev- ery type of audience. Hugo Brandt has a finished tech- nique, but—'most importantof all is. his intelligent rendering 'of the camspositions he presents, reaching the hearts of his audiences by the depth of his interpretation. There is atnitos- p:here, not mere piano playing, when this creative artist toadies the keys. Mr. Brandt will include in his pro- gramme some of his own .compbsi'tions which have been rendered in bothEurope and America. Ellwood T. Badley is intenselyhu man. Ile is a business man and a twentieth century ..philosopher. The title, of his lecture' which will be de- ivered at 'Cardno's hall. is "All Aboard," and will prove' an inspiration to all. I't is difficult to describe a lecture by -Barley, this delivery is exceedingly fluent; he has charm of .personality which is 'more than attractive. He believes in the individual and in' tbe nation. His lecture will be altogether instructive, with flashes of the humor. vitally interested in the questi'orus he discusses.. As an orator he is without a peer on the Chautauqua Platform, COMMITTEES APPO 3tIITED 'Miss Irene McLean, representative of the Canadian Chautauqua, suet the' local committee in the Council cham- bers, Tuesday evening, March 1st at 8 p.in.
