Heavy Rains Swell
Rivers and Streams
Monday night's rain created sev-
eral small lakes in Seaforth and
district. While rivers and streams
did not rise to flood proportions,
sufficient ram fell to inundate cer-
tain areas.
The former recreation ground
was completely under water, and
the residence of Mr. Geo. Dixon
resembled a houseboat moored in
mid -stream.
Coleman and Brantford Streets
were under water most of the day,
forcing motor traffic to use other
roads.
The Bayfield river at the Eg-
rnondville bridge point had risen
so that the water completely cov-
ered the river bed and adjoining
Cats. Very few cellars escaped
some trace of water, and many
furnace fires were blacked out.

EASTER CANTATA.
AT FIRST CHURCH
Combined Choirs Unite
To Bring "Olivet
To Calvary."
The combined choirs of First
Presbyterian Church, Northside
tinned Church and ,St. Thomas'
Anglican Church will present
Maunder's "Olivet To Calvary" on
Easter Sunday evening in First
Presbyterian Church. The can-
tata will be directed 1;ty James A.
Stewart, with I. B. Jamieson, or-
ganist.
"Olivet To Calvary" recalls sim-
ply and reverently the scenes
which mark the last few days of
the Saviour's life on earth, and
some of the reflections suggested
thereby. The rejoicing of the
multitude with hosannas and
palms, the view of Jerusalem from
the steep of Olivet, the lament ov-
er the beautiful city, the scene in
the Temple, arid the lonely walk
back over the Mount at night, form
the chief features of the first part.
Part two opens with the Supper
of the Passover, at which Jesus
washes His disciples' feet,,,and
gives to His friends the new com-
mandment of love for one another
as the sign of true discipleship.
From this the scene passes to the
infinite pathos of the Garden of
Gethsemane, the sudden appear-
ance of the hostile crowd, Jesus
forsaken by His disciples, His ut-
ter loneliness among ruthless foes,
the tumult before Pilate in the
Judgment Hall, the passage of the
Cross, the tragedy and triumph of
Calvary.
The cantata is written for two
solo voices -tenor and baritone -
and chorus, and interspersed with
hymns to be sung by the congre-
gation.

Concludes Tale After
Fifty Years
An item appeared in the "Years
Agone" column of last week's is-
sue of The Huron Expositor that
a fox had been captured in Mr.
Newell's -balirri, near Chiselhurst.
The story is that the fox was chas-
ed so hard and so far by a hound,
it was forced to take refuge in
this barn.
Mr, John Elder, Hensall, finishes
the tale, 'saying that it jumped
down a trapdoor into the stable,
where it was captured. Mr. Elder,
the hunter on this occasion, ex-
plains that it was his dog "Jipp,"
or Paul Boa's dog, "Sing," that ran
the fox the dead heat for miles.
Both the dogs were known as ex-
cellent fox hunters.

Northside Adult
Group Sponsors
Famed Quartette
"The Commodores," rousing col-
orful male quartette of singing en-
tertainers, are featured -artists on
the Toronto Star's free good music
concert to be held in Northside
United Church on Thursday-, April
13, from 8'to 10 p,m. The repertoire
of this 'popular group ranges from
classical to humorous and includes
negro 'spirituals, western ballads,
English folk songs, operatics and
a generous supply of encores of
which you never tire. They have
something of everything for every-
body.
Their musical director and ar-
ranger, Carl Tapscott, was chc.ral
director •and arranger for the
Navy's Show, "Sea Shanty Choir,"
whose soloist was the noted New
Zealand basso, Oscar Natzka, Dur-
ing the show's trans -Canada tour
in 1943, when the large cast prac-
tically lived in dressing rooms,
Tapscott picked up with three fel-
low choristers and they formed a
"barber -shop" quartette.
As the Weeks went by their re-
pertoire widened to include ser-
ious numbers until finally they be-
gan to win the admiration of the
whole cast. The following year
when the company split into three
units for overseas service, it was
inevitable that the Commodores
should become a solo feature.
Tapscott, who does all the ar-
ranging, has been organist and
choir leader of Rosedale Presby-
terian Church in Toronto for the
last 13 years. While performing as
a group he is second tenor. Har-
vard Redick, Port Simpson, B.C.,
is first tenor; John Ringha.m, Van-
couver, is baritone, and Donald
Parish, Wallaceburg, Ont.. is bass.
Leo Lighter, an outstanding piano
soloist in his own right, accom-
panies the quartette.

Group of Northside United Church
have arranged for -"The Com-
modorea" to appear Thursday,
April .13, at 8 p.m., through the
courtesy of the Toronto Star. All
seats are fres to the public.
Parson: "Goodbye and God
bless you. Be careful that the
rowdies in town don't play tricks
on, you."
Newlyweds: "Don't worry, Par-
son, they *on't catch us napping."

Close, who has recently resigned.
Senator Golding gave a. very' Pleaa,
ing address, during which le. re-
called Mr. Close's association with ,
the band in Seaforth over a period
of 40 years, many of which were
as bandmaster, Mr. Golding point-
ed out the years of faithful service
by Bandmaster Close, often during
trying times, and the amount. of
energy and work expended by him
through difficult periods; how he
always "managed to have a band
that was a *credit to Seaforth, arid
which played a very important,part
in advertising the town. . ;
Senator Golding then asked the
band members to keep up their
practice and to make the most of
their opportunity of playing an
instrument, which often times not
only gave a nfember a chance of
enjoying music, but also mann
times helped very materially itt
gaining a position. He then con-
gratulated the members and wish-
ed them many years of success.
Bandmaster Close thanked the
members of the band for their gift,
stating that it was with regret
that he left their midst, but
thought that after 60 years as a
bandsman he was due for a rest.
In closing, Mr. Close thanked the
members for their co-operation in.
the past and especially that of
President D'Orleon Sills, for his
willing and unfailing help.
Mr. Close began leading the Sea -
forth Band in 1910 and is known as
one of Western Ontario's foremost
cornet players. After leading the
Seaforth Band for nine years, un-
til 1919, he took over the leader-
ship 'of the Chilton Town Band.
Several year e later he returned to
Seaforth and rejoined, the. band as
a rnember, later resuming leader-
ship.
Before the Skorid" World' -War
the Highlanders Band was com-
posed of 53 members and during
the war Mr. Close organized a
junior band of 24 'boys and 20
girls. At present the band has 33
members.
Mr. Close began his musical
career 60 years ago at the age of
nine, when he and his five broth-
ers played in a band at Stratford.
When he was 20 years old he led
the Mitchell Town Band and in
1903 the Hensel' Band.
Mayor Keating conveyed the
thanks of his Council to Mr. Close
for his efforts in keeping the band
to the fore, and offered his sin-
cerest regrets that Bandmaster
Close deemed it time to put away
his baton.

man of the banquet, thanked those
present and expressed the hope
that succeeding executives would

quets. He read a telegram from A.
