Jack Herd, the popular chairman of the Music Committee a ,the ;Triple V Bible Class has brought new laurels to the organization and to himself in the production of the three -act Com- edy -Drama "Go, Slow Mary" which -vas playedin the Sunday .School Room of the United Church last, Fri - .,day. Evening. .. .. The splendid attendance was in it- self a satisfying reward for the .efforts put forth to produce' the play bet the 'hearty approval and complimentary remarks accorded the 'management and the cast were more than gratify- ing. Comparing favorably with rnuch of the acting presented in Chautau- qua plays the cast of "Go SlowMary" agreeably surprised their audience in the able manner in which the various parts were played. Great credit is due to the directors when it is considered -that all but two of the cast had never liad any previous experience in act- ing. The untiring efforts of Miss M. E. Carson in the training of the cast, 'her patience and encouragement have left -an indelible impression on the minds of those who took part. Mr. Wilbur Tiffin and Mr. Bigelow acted, ):as assistants. To single out any member of the ,cast for special mention would be dif- ficult Everyone seemed to have their own part up equally well and the act- ing was most realistic, The Triple V lias done the community 'a service in -uncovering a complete new range of talent which gave every evidence of marked ability and who undoubtedly will be heatd from again in further •contributions of their talent along this line. Those taking part were: Ernie Bolt, Hazel Wilson, Velma Orvis, Mary Orvis, John Preston, Harold Wild, Ross Howson, Edith :Field, Muriel Campbell, Bert Mitchell and. Herb, Fuller.

TO SPEND $1000 ON THE HORTI- CULTURAL PARK Domirtion and Ontario Governments to Pay Two -Thirds of Cost. It was unanimously decided at a special meeting of the Council held Wednesday morning, Dec, 6th, to spend $1000,00 on improving' the Hor- ticultural Park. This work will be done on the relief plan, only unem- ployed men being used on this work. The Ontario Government will pay one-third of the cost and the Domin- ion Government one-third, which will leave a balance of $333.33' as .• the town's share. This appears like very good business as the town would have to support these unemployed in any case and this proposition gives the men an opportunity to work for their living and a town eye -sore will be removed. The work will com- mence at once under the supervision of the Street Committee. Coun. Fred Davidson, Chairman of the Street Committee, explained that. seine fill was needed for the pump house dam and that the cement blocks and stone which would be removed from the Horticultural 9. Park would be used for that purpose and by do- ing this the town would be saved considerable expense, The Clerk read the agreement be- tween the Governments and the town re this relief work and as all members of the Council were decid- edly in favor the following motion passed unaimously. Moved by Coun. Fred L. Davidson, seconded by Coun. G. L. Baker "that the agreement with the Government in regard to the expenditure of $1000 for labor at the Horticultural Park be signed by the Mayor and Clerk. The work to be supervised by the Street Committee. Wages to be paid at the rate of 25c per hoar." All members were present except Reeve MCIibbon, who is 'attending County Council at Goderich.

What promises to be one of Wing - ham's finest local talent plays will be produced here Thursday and Friday night of this week in the Town Hall for the benefit of the Hospital X - Ray Fund. Weeks of preparation and rehears als have brought about a polish to the singing and acting seldom found among amateurs. This is not so sur- prising when one realizes that the cast is made up of the best talent available, all of whom have had prev- ious experience rev-iou.sexperience on the amateur stage. "A Bold Front" is a pleasing story in word and song with plenty of ac- tion, comedy and music. Thetheme, is gripping and will compel you to follow it with the closest attention from beginning to end. It is expect- ed that no form of entertainment dur- ing the entire season will arouse the interest and enthusiasm of our peo- ple so rnuch as this two -act musical comedy. While the play is being put on both Thursday and Friday nights of this week to give everyone a chance to see it there is every indication that there will be capacity houses on both oc- casions as the pre -sale of tickets has been heavy. The citizens of Wingham and district have never been slow to respond to a worthy cause, but this is a unique opportunity, to be pres- ent at an exceptionally fine entertain- ment and help the X -Ray Fund at the same time. The directors and cast are to be congratulated 'for the splendid spirit they have shown in producing this play and for the success which is sure to be their as a result.

There was a good attendance of ministers and elders'. and the Mod- erator during the past year, Rev. R. M. Hanna, of Ripley, conducted the opening devotions. The Presbytery, mindful of the fact that the mortal. remains of Sir Arthur Currie were then being laid to rest in Montreal, observed with bowed heads a few mo- ments of silent prayer. Several mem- bers of Presbytery still further led in the devotions` remebering the great service of General Currie while at the head of the Canadian army in France during the Great War, and also his service in the cause of education as the Principal of McGill University, The report of the committee on Church life and work was given by Rev. Arthur Leggett of Molesworth. He declared that the Church today needed a re -consecration on the part of her ministers to the preaching of the real Gospel of Christ. He exhort- ed all to avail themselves of the pow- er of secret prayer, to emphasize anew '1rist- the cardinal doctrines of . Christ- ianity, to establish religion in title home, to declare to the young people the evangel of the gospel, and filial- ly to use in still larger measure the eldership of the Church. The report on the Budget was giv- en by Rev. T. D. McCullough, of 'Kin- cardine. He showed that during the past few weeps the givings of the Chui'eii :hs$ risen from $25000 to $40,- 000 40;000 above that of last year during the same period.
