tatice of Cinderella. It is hoped that

hand of the prince. When all is in
readiness they depart for the palace,
leaving Cinderella in the kitchen. In
the third act, ,after their departure she
is visited by her fairy god mother and
little fairies. Her god -mother know-
ing. that it is her wish to go to the

ises to leave the ball at twelve o'clock

COMMITTEE SHOWS
FINE SPIRIT
. ,
The "Citizen's Band Committee of
the Wingham Chamber of Commerce
are to be commendd for the fine
spirit they are showing rn sharing
equally with the Ar4a, the proceeds
of Sports Carnival ih the Arena on
November /0. '
• . .
No town is complCte to day wan -
out a skating rink,'; where winter
sports can be enjoy/ile, by old and
young without fear s, of the dread
drowning disasters that all too fre-
quently accompany !river skating.
Parents, with perfect: ease of mind,
can permit their children to attend
the arena which supplies adequate
accommodation for changing clothes,
heated rest rooms and proper super-
vision, as well as a Itine sheet of ice
for skating and hockity.-
It is an is unfortuna i -fact that the
expense of keeping p• an Arena in
places of the size of v ingham makes
it next to impossible or the proposi-
tion to be self-stappoilaing, The local
Arena has been a loIansy burden for
several years to some; of our town's
most public spirited citizens. '
It is very gratifying 'therefore to
see such a representative group of
business men as those named in the
Citizens' Band Committee, who have
in their hands the• preparation of the.
wonderful Armistice Memorial Cele-
bration, of Nov. 10th, remembering,
in the proceeds ofthe occasion, the
Arena are on an equal basis with the
Band.
The citizens of Wingharn and com-
munity will do well to put their stamp
of approval on this' ;pit:W.1c spirited
enterprise by turnintes out in large
numbers for the eveht. Last year,
when a similar evenins'e .programme
was organized, everybody said that at
\isms the big -gest valu, for a quarter
they had ever received. The Com-
mitteeassures us that, profiting by
last year's experience, -thein will have
even a better progranime this. year.
