G. Murray, as honorary chairman: P. M. Dewan. chairman; John C. Mc­Bride, secretary-treasurer, and, as members, E. A. Wilson,Floyd Lantz, of the Sentinel-Review; Candace Carroll, of CKOX, and Tommy Lee, of The Tribune. The committee isknown as “The Ingersoll and District Committee for the Mani­ toba Flood Relief Fund.”The committee asks that when an organization gives through its national headquarters, such as the Kiwanis, thatMr. McBride be notified so that ALL contributions from Ing­ ersoll can be shown in the end as THE Ingersoll and districteffort on behalf of the west Lists of donors should be sent to Mr. McBride, who will forward them to Winnipeg to get offic­ ial tax-exemption receipts.Dr. Murray, proud of the way citizens have responded,qrged everyone to “give to help your fellow Canadians”, even if only pennies. Contributions are being received at The Sen­tinel-Review, The Tribune, the banks or by Mr. McBride at his office. They will be acknowledged in the newspapers.The giving from Ingersoll and district to date has beena great tribute to the generosity and public-spiritedness of the people, men, women and children. So far as The Tribune wasconcerned, the flood of aid began when George Bartlett of Bartlett and Lambert, came in to offer socks. Then Bert Carrcame in with some money, and since that time money andgifts have been flowing in for and out to Manitoba’s flood stricken. Ingersoll Machine and Tool Co. Ltd., and Morrows,started the industrial ball rolling with donations of $1,000 each, and an Ingersoll resident gave $500. At a special meet­ing, Local 3683 U.S.W., C.I.O., (Morrow’s), voted a donation of $500 to go through union headquarters, and right on topof that, employees of Morrow’s contributed nearly $430.Up at the high school, the kids started thinking about - the plight of kiddies in Winnipeg and gathered $44.57 and thestaff contributed $58. Down at the Ingersoll Cheese Co., Gor­ don B. Henry, manager, and his staff, discussed the flood situ­ation, and in one day they contributed nearly $400. This in­ cluded $10 in pennies that a lady had saved for a specialoccasion, and this, it appeared, was it. Their aim is $500. The$400 gift is more remarkable when it is realized 65 per cent, of the staff are women. “A friend from Chatham”, dropped in $1 at The Tri­bune, and a lady who wished to remain anonymous left $50at her bank. The Big 8 voted $50 to help both flood victiffis and the fire victims at Rimouski, and the Lions voted $500 tothe Winnipeg Lions for their flood relief activities. At the Machine Co., William Stone Sons Ltd., and other firms, em­ployees were raising even more money to help the west. Ki--wanians are urged by President J. C. Herbert to give all they can.Various projects for raising money are being considered.President Charlotte Carr, of Teen Town, said they were plan* ning a benefit dance, possibly Friday. The Guild of St.Paul’s Presbyterian Church are planning a community concert at the church, June 9, the entire proceeds to go to Manitoba.A collection will be made at the church door.The I.O.D.E. Chapters here are considering a tag day June 3, in conjunction with a nation-wide appeal by theI.O.D.E. and Mayor Murray said council would undoubtedly give the ladies permission to hold the tag day.In the meantime, the Flood Committee appeals to every­ one to help or give in any way possible, and invites ruralorganizations, too, to do what they can and the fullest co-op­ eration will be given.

Pals Save All As House Razed An alert telephone operator at the Ingersoll telephone Company and ahost of willing neighbors saved Mr.and Mrs. Jack Barker from being left >without a stick when fire broke outon their farm on the Hamilton Road :this week. Mr. and Mrs. Barker, with their 15-year-old son Murray, had Ibeen on the farm, which belonged to :Bruce Phillips for about a year. One of the neighbors who droppedeverything to rush to their assistancewas Mr. Langford Smith, whose farm < is about one half a mile from the Bar- :ker’s place. This is how he told thestory to The Tribune later. "It must have been around 12.30when the phone rang and Central toldus there was a bad fire at Jack Bar­ ker’s farm. I dropped what I was do­ing and jumped into my car to givethem what help I could. There must be fifteen or sixteen parties on thetwo lines here and they were all rush­ing the same way as soon as the oper­ ator at Ingersoll called them.."There was just the odd spot com­ing through the roof of the housewhen I got there and they were fight­ing it with water. It waa pretty ob­vious that we couldn’t save the houseand we all dashed in and began get­ ting out the chairs and rugs and tab­les. We got everything out in time— , even the fruit in the cellar and they, didn't lose a thing except one or twocedars lying in the cellar. * “All us neighbors helped and did' what we could with a bucket chain,, but we didn’t have a chance to savethe house. It burned to the ground. , Fortunately the bam wasn’t touched and Jack ha« all his equipment in­tact He and his family are livingwith Albert Langford for the timebeing, within a stone’s throw of theirfarm so he is still able to tend hisfields.UI saw a lot of people there who I knew. Wallace Meatberall, Jim Wil-ford, Albert Langford, Gordon Ren­nie, Carl Horley, Frank and Grant Irwin, Fred Northmore, George O*Neil, Don Rose and hiB brother, andoodles of others from here there and all over.

Itwaa the mystery of the fli-wcr* thatdisappeared from the grave of Aimee Semple ‘McPherson’s father.The incident started, Sinclair recal­led, in 1936 when he was working with The Star and hia editor com­missioned him to meet the famousevangelist and accompany her on apilgrimage she was making to the graveside of her father here in Ing­ersoll. He met her, the writer andauthor said, near Belleville and when he discovered she had no car offeredto drive her to Ingersoll in his car,a Ford tourer complete with rumble *eat the next day.“The safari”, as Mr. Sinclair des­cribed the party, “was to be Mrs. Mc­Pherson, her blonde assistant, myself and Tom ilson Star photographer.I am now the sole survivor of thatjourney.”Wilson and the blonde, he said,were put in the rumble while he andthe famous woman had the inside. Asthey were passing through Islington, his hime, it began to rain and sincehe also owned a closed Cadillac (anunusual thing for a newspaperman) he suggested that they go to hi» houseand transfer to that car.“Unfortunately,” he related, “my wife was out in it when we arrivedao I invited thim m to ’wait. Whenwe were inside I offered Aimee Mc­ Pherson a drink and she proceeded tomix some very excellent Martinis.We were on the second or third when my wife earns horns to find her hus­band and another man with two “I introduced my wife to them say­ ing, this u Aimee Semple McPhersonand her assistant,' and w m stunnedwhen my wife cracked back,* and I’m Cleopatra.”It was a bad journey, he told thecrowded hall, raining and dark (it was in 1st* fall) and they stopped ata hot dog stand just the other aide ofParis only to find the proprietor hudno hot dogs cooked. Out of the car jumped his famous guest who donnedthe big white hat—and proceeded tocook up some hot dogs while he ex­ plained to the shocked owner who she “We had dinner at Ingersoll”, hecontinued, “and then came the prob­ lem of finding the grave. I don'tknow how many graveyards you havein Ingersoll, but there must be sev­ eral—and we visited them all in thedark, while it was pouring with rain,looking for her father’s grave with a flashlight! Finally we found the rightone and Wilson got ready to takepictures of the flowers being rever­ently placed on the grave when Mrs. McPherson exclaimed ‘My God, I’veforgotten the flowers.’But Wilson was a resourceful pho­ tographer and he gathered up arms-full of flowers from nearby gravesand took his pictures." A few days later the story came outand we got an indignant dispatchfrom Ingersoll saying that vandals had stolen the flowers from AimeeSemple McPherson’s father** grave.“As it happened, we put them back. That is the story of one of Ingersoll’sunexplained mysteries. any true security, national or inter­ national. Jhe righto and obligationsof the home must be safeguarded.We have seen the other side of th* picture in recent yean, whentotalitarian state* encroached upon the sanctity of the home and im­posed pagan ideas upon their people.Thia is one of the dangers in a too-socialised world; that by interferingin family life the stat* may weaken the nation in two important ways,by raising a rajs of dependent people, unable to think or do forthemselves, and by breaking up thecohesion of the family unit, which is the basis of national unity.— (From Royal Bank Bulletin) W.

M aking Successful Marriage Is Really a Great Big Job Getting married is really littlemore than signing a contract to build a marriage. The real buildingis done over the years that follow, and the resulting structure is calleda family. Planning and energy, andskill are needed by the 243,000'men and women who were married inCanada last year, and by the quarter million who will be married this year.Making it as easy as possible forthese young people to find the right way to build sturdy family life isthe business of all of us, because the success with which they pair offin this generation determines the fate of the nation.These young people really have taken on .a big job. The responsibili­ties facing them are literally un­ precedented. They are called uponto make decisions which seem to ■demand all the wisdom of the ages.Both the form of the family andthe nature of married relationships have varied greatly in the course ofhuman history, and never were they more exacting than they are today.Poets to the contrary notwithstand­ ing, marriage does not overnightchange character and personality so as to fit everyone miraculously forfounding a family. • There is more to family life thanbiology and romance and the econ­omics of family support. Understan­ding appreciation of each other’sgood qualities is necessary, and itmust be made known. Many a mar­riage breaks up in sorrow becauseone of the parties bask* in the sun­shine of appreciation expressed byworkshop or social friends, while athome everything able and good is taken for granted.What shall we set up as the motto of the home? One man, puzzled tofind a decoration for over his liv­ ing-room fire-place, discarded pic­tures and wrote up two Greek words meaning The Healing Place of theSoul Home is the uni} of spiritual,emotional and physical security. The home develops personality, edu­cates in living, and fits us to take our place in society. It is here thatchildren grow into men and women who find within the family the ful­filment of their needs and desires, the release from worry and the en- couragement they need to face theheavy responsibilities of life. Religious belief is a vital part of family life. It is worthy of note thatnot only does the family instil re­ ligious observance, but the variousforms of religious confession empha­ size the family as a vital part of our civilization. The Christian Church carried overa high evaluation of the family fromJudaism. The people of Israel laidstress upon the beauty and unity of home life. The family pattern be­ came the symbol of the Kingdom ofGod. Cur hope for the future of thehuman race rests in no small part upon carrying into the wide worldthe concept of the Christian family. Good families do not just happen,but are the result of unselfishness, good temper, forgiveness and hu­mour. A. family needs two parents,qualified to make a home that willmeet the minimum demands of nor­ mal life; community surroundingsthat make it possible for parents to do their parental duty; and a vitalalliance between the family, the the church, the School, the politicalsystem, and all cultural opportuni­ ties.No other institution can take the place of the family. It is sad to seeparental power yielding in some countries to the broadened functionsof the state. The spontaneous co­ operation of natural human associa­tion breaks up, and finds precarious replacement by the external andartificial bonds of social manage­ment and compulsion. Practically all the major religious and social study groups are agreed that for nate $10 to the Red Shield, <10 tothe Flood Victims, >10 to the Can­ cer Fund. It was decided that weclean the church May 31st. We would like all to come if possible.A vote of thanks was given by Mrs.Clarence Cuthbert to Miss Currie, and all whp assisted with the meet­ing. Lunch was served by Miss Currie.The June meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Harry Ruckle. Pro­gram committee is Mrs. Russell Cur­ rie and Mrs. Carl Heeney.

MOUNT ELGIN To say of any publication that not one fault can be found with itia high praise, but when such can be said of something that is strictlyamateur, then it can be rated asthe highest tribute. This is the case with the 1950 issue of The Volt,the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute magazine. There just isn’t a fault inthe whole 90 pages of interesting stories and pictures that make upthis year’s issue.Editor is Lorna Baigent and assistant editor, Jim Grimes, withliterary editors Terry Heeney, Mac Hyde, Joyce Lange, Sheila Morrisonand Jacqueline Sinclair. Others who helped put out The Volt in 1950are listed as follows: Literary So­ ciety activities, Joy Burnett; Poetry,Frances Horley; Art and Photo­ graphy, Harold Crellin, Ted Ackert,Jean McArthur; Music, DoreneSimpson, Alice Upfold; Boys’ Ath­ letics, Bill Montgomery; Girls’ Ath­letics, Phyllis Harvey; Alumni, Marge Clark, Jim Waring, MargaretBlair; Humour, Bruce Fraser, Ron­ ald Shier, Ted Ackert, MargaretButterworth; Exchange Editor, John Johnston, Martin Brooks; Social,Tom .Staples; School Activities, Yvonne Holmes; Staff Advisers,Miss E. G. Carney, Miss L. G. Baker; Advertising, (Mr. J. G. Cle­ment in charge), Tom Douglas, TedAckert, Jim Williams, Jim Waring, Sally Fleet, Millie Mansfield, JeanMcArthur, Dawn Martin, Dorothy Callander, Harold Catling, CharlotteCarr, Edith Daniel, Helen Heeney, Edith Ruckle, Stuart Pole, MartinBrooks and Norah Clark. In his message, Principal J. C.Herbert says in part: “I suggestthat you take advantage of theavailable opportunities to prepareyourself for your chosen vocations. Education is the preparation for asuccessful career and for a usefuland happy life. In the immaturityof youth it is difficult at times to realize the value of these years ofpreparation. However, just as an athlete must diligently and con­scientiously prepare for a contest, so, too, must ode sacrifice time andeffort to prepare oneself for the conflict of life. The better that pre­paration, the easier will be yourtransition from school to your chosen career.Particularly outstanding in The Volt for'1950 are the literary andpoetic contributions, all of which are of an extremely high standardand reflect highly the ability both of Ingersoll’s students and theirteachers. In her message, editor Lorna iBaigent writes: "We shouldforever look forward, aiming stead­fastly at our goal. We should never falter, never tire. While we haveyouth behind us pushing, let us aim high. And^ if we should fall sjylrt ofthe mark* the first time, let us tryagain.” There is always something abouta valedictory address that is sound and appealing and this year’s, givenby Marjorie Prouse, is no exception. It is a column of sound thinkingand concise, attractive wording. For anyone who has a apart Sun­day afternoon or evening during the week, the six pages of the Literary section will certainly provide variedand interesting fare. Contributors are Tom Staples, Yvonne Holmes,Terry Heeney, John McDermott, Phyliss Harvey, Joyce Lange, Fran­ces Horlpy, Mac Hyde and Joy Bur­ nett.One piece of poetry, in particular, above the other pieces, seems tostand out. It is by Frances Horley and is herewith reproduced: Peace, I have found thee I Through silent, silvan glade’Neath shimmering sun and shadeLongingly and dismayed.Peace, I have sought thee. In soft, sweet, soothing breeze In brooks 'ere still they freezeIn night birds’ plaintive pleas, Peace, I have heard thee. In sunset’s burning blaze Through autumn’s dreamy hazeIn shy deer's gentle gaze, Peace, I have glimpsed thee. Down where the wild waters leap Down where the dim pool’s deepDown where worn willows weep^Peace I have found thee! Other contributors in this sectionare Jacqueline Sinclair, Lome Groves, Dorothy Alderson and ayoung lady named Anne Onimus whose “Apologies to ClementMoore” is'far better than her mod­esty implies. One last word of mention must bemade. The photographs were taken mostly by Harold Crellin. Harold,an enthusiastic camera fiend, has had several of his pictures published byThe Tribune in recent months. FOLDEN’S CORNERS By Mrs. M. Phillipa The W.

What Others Sa y: Ode To Ingersoll LOOKING BACKIn the File* of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario 51 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 25, IBM A wedding took place on Tuesdayof this week, at the residence of Mr. Wm. Agur, Noxon street, whenhis only daughter, Florence, wasgiven in marriage to Labon B. For­tier of Wingham. The ceremonywas performed on the lawn by Rev.E. R. Hutt The bride was supportedby Miss James while Mr. McKay of Port Cokbome, assisted thegroom. The groom was a resident of Ingersoll for some time, havingbeen employed at the Ellis Furni­ture Co. and it was during that time that cupid aimed his darts at the heart of each with the, above happyresult PERSONALSMrs. A.

Perhaps there is a law; then it should be enforced. W e arrived nine p.m.-ish and perhaps 75 people were lined up in the lobby, having bought tickets waiting to get into the movie proper. The lirte-up didn’t seem too ominous because every few minutes a few people would leave the theatre and a few more would be allowed into the theatre. There seemed to be a few seats every’ few minutes so it would prob­ ably be worth waiting. We waited — and waited. The line moved, then halted, then moved, then halted. And finally we were into the movie —but not into seats. The lobby inside the theatre proper was jammed — all along the back, five and six deep. It was a case of only standing room only — and for a long time, too. People were even standing in the fire exits, which is certainly very much against the law and we feel is worth the theatre chain's permit. But there was no hint at the ticket wicket it was a case of standing room only. No signs said so. It was obviously just a case of sell ’em tickets and to h- - - with it whether the show was seen or not. Just to make sure the tickets were taken, the ticket­ taker stood, not at the entrance to the movi? proper, but at the end of the line-up nearest the street. We finally got a seat at 10.15. The show ended something more than an hour later. We certainly did not get what we paid to get. To our mind, no one should be permitted to stand within the theatre. Fill the seats, and that’s it. Any line-up should be outside, and orderly; not a jumbled mass of craning humanity within. Signs should say there is standing room only. The movies should be forced to take more cogni­ zance of giving value for money received rather than seeing how many people can be jammed into their theatre on any given night. Oh!

Volt) “On Being a Family” The main issue of the Royal Bank of Canada’smonthly letter deals with family life. In a world frenzied with threats of war, economic and politicalcrisis, BIG news on every hand, the bank letterchats calmly “On Being A Family". And when all is said and done, what is more vital, more elementalthan this basic social unit? Families are the bricksof which a nation is built, and with their strength or weakness it must stand or fall.But for the family impulse, which is a great dealmore than a social manifestation of the biological urge in male and female, where would the banks,insurance companies, all producers and suppliers ofthe necessities and luxuries of modern life findthemselves? Where would the politicians look for babies to kiss and for the social security issues withwhich to make their most popular appeals? Elimi­nate the family and one of the Christian churches* strongest links with practical reality would be gone.Not one of our modern activities and institutions butwould dissolve into insignificance with the dissolu­ tion of family life.Fortunately there is no reason tp fear for the hea­lth of this greatest single stabilizing factor in our social, economic and political life. The family issafe; for, although divorces make newspaper head­lines and happy homes do not, the fact are these:in the last year of record there were 7,683 divorces in Canada, there were 134,088 new marriages, and3,042,000 families were living and working, buyingand investing, hoping and praying together for the greater glory of Canada and the world.Financial Post Mighty Men Theodore Savard, of Quebec City, after a Mr. Richard Appleton, one of theoldest residents of Beachville, died at his home Friday night.

R E S E R V E — Friday Night, June 9th Community Concert PROCEEDS ENTIRELY FOR MANITOBA FLOOD RELIEF FUND Watch for further announcements , Isn’t It Time Someone Thought About Cleaning Off The Streets? A man walking along the street suddenly found himself enveloped in a large sheet of dirty, tattered newspaper; a motorist one evening almost suf­ focated when a miniature dust-storm tore through the open windows of his car; another man found one day that what he had thought for years was a solid curb was, in fact solid dirt fused by time into one mass; yet another man, after walking over a piece of tinfoil • embedded in dirt in a gutter for three days, kicked it and found it to be a quarter. All these instances have actually happened: in the not too distant past: In Ingersoll. All those per­ sons have the spne comment to make—isn’t it time someone thought about cleaning off the streets in this town? The streets of this town, besides being in a poor state of repair, are in a shocking state of cleanliness. Any day one can walk down the main thoroughfare —Thames St. S.— right where hundreds of shop­ pers walk every day and see along both sides of the road gutters jammed with dirt, old newspapers, pieces of junk and every imaginable type of refuse. When a wind starts up goggles are the only pro­ tection, and stores are loath to open up their doors for fear the interior will be swallowed up in a cloud of dust We echo the sentiments of those citizens we mentioned, isn't it time someone thought about cleaning off the streets in this Jown? The 19S0 Issue of “The Volt” Is a Praiseworthy Production Another issue of The Volt is out. An issue of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute magazine that is even better than last year’s, which received many fav­ orable comments. Congratulations arc definitely in order to all the students who had a hand in putting out this outstanding publication, for which the I.C.I. has long been noted. The average person, reading their copy of the 1950 Volt, cannot visualize the hundreds of hours put in by the studentg preparing reading 'matter for it, or the fine skill displayed in the dozens of pic­ tures that illustrate the varied phases of school activities. Nor can they fully appreciate the many headaches that were experienced by editor Lorna Baigent and her staff while striving to display the material attractively. The average person, seeing only the finished product resplendent in a blue cover and finely printed on glossy art paper, feels simply that it is an excellent, praiseworthy maga­ zine of which they are proud. The professional newspaperman, whose job con­ sists of just these things, can appreciate more fully the perfection of the finished book. That is why The Tribune tips its hat verbally to the students of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute, and rays, "Con­ gratulations on your production of a brilliant and interesting 1950 Volt" Notes on the Editor's Pad Hearken to this tele which sifiacks of old, when maids were fair and knights were bold.

At a special meeting of the Pub­lic Library Board, the following members were present: L. C. Men-hennick, R. J. Robertson, JI. Rich­ ardson, J. P. O’Neill and W. Briden. Theodore Savard, of Quebec City, after a life­ time of horse-shoeing, says that if he were youngagain he would choose a less laborious trade. Twoof hi* sons are accountants, and the others will not be smiths. Mr. Savard’s commentary recalls thedays when there was a smithy in every village andtown in Southern Ontario. Where are they now? In their place we have gas stations and garages.About the only horses to be shod are saddle or racehorses. The passing of the smith and his anvil is a sign, of the times and a recollection of the way ourfathers lived in the wake of the pioneers. The smi­ thy was a business by day and a club by night, ameeting place for farmers, and an open forum for*one and all." There was a rich democracy about the gatheringaround the anvil; and the children had their funthere too. Sentimentally we regret its passing, but it was certainly an arduous trade calling for mighty ,men of Herculean mien who seem to be going theway of all flesh in this machine age. London Free Press Is Conservation Overdone? Editor, London Free Press: Those who considerthe Flood control project at Ingersoll a success dur­ing last month's high water could perhaps answer a few pertinent questions.When the Thames Valley Flood control project iscomplete, will the spring flood water be* whisked away, as it was at Ingersoll, down the entire lengthof the Thames into Lake St. Clair? As I understandit, our wells are replenished by rain water. When the water is not allowed to remain on the land, butis deliberately and systematically drained off intothe lakes, where is the water going to come from for our wells? Furthermore, the wells around hereare already getting lower eviry year.Yet by our present policy water which ought to be going into these wells is sped away down therivers into the lakes. And with the hundreds of newindustries springing up all over Western Ontario we need all the water we can get. Yet the ThamesValley control plan, in its present stage, is a con­scious attempt to eliminate our water supply by carrying it off the land as rapidly as possible. Isthis sensible or reasonable?Swamp and bog are natural reservoirs and spongeswhich retain the water and allow it to seep into the land. The drainage of those areas can only go snfar until it is subject to the principle of diminishingreturns. From the evidence of our wells we would seem to have reached that stage. The area nearIngersoll which formerly contained the snake chan­nel of the Thames was merely swamp and bog any­ way, and the frequent flooding, however inconven­ient and “untidy”, nevertheless did little real dam­age, with the proper precautions. But the new chan­nel actually drains the area dry: The sponge is liquidated. We can therefore expect that the wellsand water shortage in the Ingersoll area will getprogressively worse. — In addition, another worry which plagues us in­termittently is the lowering of our river levels andthe consequent troubles with our sewage disposal.But how can we expect the river levels to maintainthemselves when we drain off the-excess and leaveno surplus to feed the streams during the drier wea­ther? This is reasoning a child could understand. It is significant that coinciding with unprecentedflood* on this continent we are experiencing anever-growing water shortage. These two facts playa larger part in our national life every year. Butthe answer 'to both problems is one orid the same.Instead of flood control we should be planning floodprevention. Thi involves catching the water where it falls, retaining it and letting it seep into theground.This means a conservation of many areas aswood and parkland, a project which would have a variety of further desirable resulta such as wildlife sanctuaries, reforestation, etc. Instead of theseplans, of course, we have flood control measures, channels for sweeping the water away. And thenwe wondvr where cur drinking water has gone.In this age of “experts”, thi8 is merely one moreinstance in which one wonders just what constitutes an expert, besides the addition of M.A., Ph.D. andV.I.P. to hi3 surname. Clearly. someone is not aasmart as he should be. And the finger of suspicionpoints with unpleasant regularity at the ’’expert.” , , H. C.

It was (well varied, contain- ; ing both sacred and secular num-' hers, ranging from such popularnumbers as the opening “EasterParade", to the impressive “Gloria’'from Mozart’s 12th Mass, which ’ done by all three choirs, with Mr., Harold Riddolls at the organ and ’ Mrs. O. B. Moffat and Mr. E. Mt- ;Kay at the pianos, formed a fitting climax to the program. The choral work, al] directed byMr. Riddolls. was characterized by clear cut diction, good tone and bal­ance.

Riddolls, in a two-piano group which addedan interesting variation to the pro­ gram.Mrs. Allan R. Horton, president of the Friendship Club, underwhose auspices the program was given, welcomed the audience andintroduced the artiste. The members of the Trinity Sen­ior Choir are: Mrs. C.
