WINGHAM, ONTARIO, TT THURSDAY, JULY 9th, 1931 THE CHAUTAUQUA MAY RETURN The programs of the Canadian ithautaugua were concluded Thursday -evening last when the Lucille Elmore -Company and their celever perform- ers captivated the- interest of the grown-ups as well , as the children. Miss Eltnore herself is a comedian of great art and variety: Her mimicry of the mannerisms of the old deacon preaching his sermon was especially. good. The other members of the -company were clever artists also and 'helped to make the 'program highly enjoyable. Last, but by no means least on this year's Chautauqua was John Bocke- witz, artist and lecturer. He conjur- ed up, as is by magic, pictures of ev- ery conceivable sort, and by means .of colored lights, obtained many biz- arre effects, Mr. Bockewitz strove to bring home helpful truths thru Itis drawings and the poetry he re- cited to the swift strokes of the •chalk. The Chautauqua this year seemed to appear at a very poor time, during the hottest weather that has been ex- perienced for years and this no doubt 'was a big factor in the smaller sale of tickets, leaving the guarantors fax- ed with a deficit of nearly $700. Each guarantor's share was $14. With this large deficits it looked doubtful for a time as to whether it would return again next year. Since the closing of the Chautauqua, however, 500 tickets have been pledged for next year, and at time of writing we learn that in all probability it will return again a,lext summer. New Pavement Opened The connecting link in the Provin- eia1 pavement from Clinton to Lon- don was opened a week ago. The mew stretch of pavement is between Exeter and Centralia. *k� MR. PETER GOWANS IS BID FAREWELL. On the evening of Monday, June 22nd, friends and pupils to .the num- ber of nearly two hundred, gathered ,,t the home of Mr. William Slaght, 7illa Nova, to bid farewell to Mr, Peter Gowans, who has been our tea- cher for the past six years,'and who is retiring from active service, .A dainty supper was served on the lawn, after, which a ,programme was presented. Rev. Mr, Wham, acting as chair - :man, paid high tribute to Mr, Gow- ans as a successful teacher and a val- lied citizen, stressing particularly the influence on youthful lives • of an ear- zest - Christian as instructor and :friend; The following illuminated address was presented to Mr. Gowans by Rev. Mr. Guinn, on behalf of the•cornmun- iity, An appreciation to Mr. Peter Gowans Dear Friend: — We have learned and with regret of your intention to retire from that calling which has.been your life -work ---training the minds of children,: molding their character, and playing a very large part in developing the best type of citizens for our country.. The beautification of our school grounds will - ever remain as an en- during memorial of yotu• desire to surround our boys and girls with : the :natural beauty which- has been given them by their. Creator. Your splendid services as a teacher, your uplifting example as a Christian gentleman; your generous co-operation in our churches, your deep interest in every activity for the betterment of our community will never be erased from. the minds and hearts of those with whom you came in contact. Your friends and pupils of this. community wish to present you with this address as a lasting record of their deep affeetion and appreciation. Villa Nova, Ont. June 22, 1931, ""iiklMr. Gowans, in rep1 ing, express- ed x ress- ed his surprise that the speakers should so eulogize his work—that he "'had only done his duty." 3e spoke earnestly to his pupils who were pre- sent, assuring them that he would ra- ther help them build - a beautiful hrtst an character than educateotheir minds, important though he felt the latter to be, Not the least surprise of the even- ing was the arrival of Mts. Gowanet who remained as the guest of Mrs. Slight, until the closing of school. We feel that the eom'fti.unity has lost an efficient teacher and a .nit"ich- loved ,friend,—The Waterford Star'.

The brakes were applied on the Beck- ett car, the car skidded in the gravel°,,. careened to the side of the road to which' Earl had jumped and struck him.
