Successful Golf Season A very gratifying impression was made upon pllsonburg music (over* by the Westminster Glee Sinrft's on Tuesday night, when this sterling band of old country artists appeared at the opera house in a varied and admirably arranged program.In all, some fourteen singer* make up the group, but they are vocalist* chosen from among the world's most famous choral bodies. The choir* of Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral give u* such voice*/and a long tradition in music has built up a perfection which, it seems, could not be made more perfect. Not only individual voice* and indi­ vidual training bring such felicitous results. Singing of the sort heard at the opera house on Tuesday night means the carrying on of that tradi­ tion, the fulfillment of a definite vocal mission, and the preservation of all that is best and finest in the musical lore of a peoole. Seven boy chorister* and seven- men sipgers make up the company. And Tuesday night’s program ran the gamut skillfully from madrigal and glee to folksong and chorus: from rollick­ ing chantey and plantation melody to familiar carol and sonorous antnem. For all of which the Glee Singer* were most adequate. The fourteen voice* are excellent, collectively and individually. Most of the adults arc soloists, and two of the boy chorister* appeared in solo work, displaying notably lovely vdice*. The crowning achievement of the program was the singing of The Bells of St. Michael's Tower.'Detail* in so extensive a program ot such uniform value are difficult to stress- Number* and singer* who specially Impressed were James Davis, with hi* robust tenor voice; Albert Greene, inimitable vocal comedian, with a rich and lustrous bass; Donald Reid, male contralto; Charles Draper, baritone; J«me* Barber, a sonorous bass, and Master Harry Fearn were named'individually on the prpsram. But, in spite of the repeated delight ot the solo numbers, the ensemble work of the singers commanded the strictest attention. Perhaps no one can quite appreciate the difficulties of part sing­ing, nor the infinite capacity lor taking pains, represented in the beautifully balanced number* sung. In form, in tonal color, in clarity of diction, in the building up of themes. In the lovely modulations of the humming accom­paniments. hi the delicately dipped word* and rounded phrase* there were most excellent team work, a nicety of judgment and a choral appreciation not '°Su Tohn'**1’ AY-P.A, under whose auspice* the Glee Singers came, to town, arc to be congratulated in bring­ ing them here, as they have to be con­ gratulated on the success ot the under­ taking.

Ague* Macphail Pay* Visit to Straffordville Mis* Agnes Macphail, KP-- “ her address at Straffordville made an appeal to the women of Canada to tor- get their inferiority complex and to lake their rightful place m the political, social and industrial life of the country. Mis* Macphail'* visit to Straffordville was sponsored by the Areme Chapter O.E.S. and the town hall was well The speaker was accorded a splen­ did welcome. Her subject was Wo­man and Her Opportunities. During the address she touched on the eman­cipation of womanhood through the ages, their lack of confidence in their ability to accomplish things, their place in the country to-day, their apparent lack of information on parliamentary affairs, their field in safeguarding the country for humanity, and their posi­ tion n guaranteeing world peace.In introducing herself, sh; felt that there was a time when the women of Canada were not too proud to own her as a Parliamentary representative, but she felt that the meeting to-night and the invitation accorded her to be pres­ ent was evidence that the.time* were changing. Her fight against tradition an'. public opinion had been a long one, but she felt that her work was becoming easier, and .if the tide was not Mipporting her, it was not so diffi­cult battling against it asit had been.

But lest we de­ velop a false pride in our superior in­ telligence, let us cast an eye on the folks around home. It may be that there are trace* of superstition even in our beM families. For instance, how many make an honest effort to see the new moon over the right rather than the left shoulder ? How many will deliberately walk under a ladder—even when the man on it isn't plying a paint brush? How many will balk at letting a black cat cross their path ? How many other* look on the deep-hued feline a* "luck/'? How many will, when they spill the salt, throw a pinch of it over the left shoulder? How many carry a rabbit's foot for luck or a chestnut as a charm against rheumatism? And, lastly, who doesn't feel a shiver of apprehension go down hi* back if he smashes a looking-glass? When these sliver* have been re­ moved from the local eye it may be a good time to turn to and take the beam out of our neighbor’s eye. St- Thoma*, Jan. 10.—At what wa* undoubtedly the most successful meet­ ing held by the organization the Southern Ontario Highway Associa­ tion, in St. Thomas to-day, adopted a resolution urging upon Hon. George S. Henry, minister of highways for Ontario, the desirablity of early as­ surance of the completion of paving of the 20 miles between the west boundary of Elgin County and Blen­heim by July I.' When this assurance is forthcoming a meeting of the ex­ecutive will be called and it is propos­ed to ‘carry out an extensive policy of advertising for the "scenic route" as soon as possible with a view to securing the greatest possible tourist traffic during the coming season- The scenic route is definitely mentioned as from the Ambassador Bridge at Wind­ sor to the Peace Bridge at Bridgeburg, and it is proposed to advertise it* at­ traction* in the United State*.J. T. Webster, former St. Thoma* alderman, wa* unanimously chosen a* president of the association. The meeting took place in the Cham­ ber of Commerce rooms at the Grand Central Hotel this afternoon. The business consisted principally of the election of officer* and the discussion of way* and means for advertising. A banquet at which Mayor Stokes, the Gty Council and the St. Thoma* branch of the Ontario Motor League played hosts, preceding the business session, and all municipalities along the route were represented. Officer. Elected J. T. Webster, ex-alderman of the City of St. Thomas, and a man with the interest* of the Southern Ontario Highway Associaton at heart, wa* chosen as president, Charles Denton, of Tillsonburg, wa* al*o proposed a* president, but at his request that the head of the organization be located at St. Thoma*. Mr. Webster wa* given a unanimous vote. Mr. Denton was elected vice-president. Second vice- president is John Hasting*, of Blen­ heim, B. R. Brad, of Shedden, and G. Bramhill, of Simcoe, declining the nomination in order that the honor might go to a representative of the western portion of the highway. The honorary presidents were elected next in order and consisted of Hon. George S. Henry and the past president* of the organization. Frank Harding, city; Charles McPherson, of Blenheim, and J. P. Coyle, the retiring president, of Aylmer. The executive committee is compos­ ed of the following representative* of municipalities on the route: Fort Erie, D. H. McIntyre; Dunnville, Mir. Mar­ shall; Cayuga, R. S. Coulter; Jarvis, Coyne Allen; Simcoe, G. Bramhill and James Miller; Delhi. Mr. McPherson; Tillsonburg, Messrs. R. A. Darrow and G. H. Hollier; Aylmer, J. P. Coyne and J. L.

The executive ha* power to add to the names of the executive. In view of the fact that the hope* of the association, and in fact their entire year's program, is contingent on the confirmation of the report that the 20 mile* of highway between the west boundarp of Elgin and Blenheim is to be paved V>‘ L ,1|C association passed the following resolution, pre­ pared by C McPheruxi and F. W. Sutherland: “This meeting of the Southern Ontario Highway Associa­ tion, believe that tbs success of their program for the year is contingent on receiving definite assurance that the unpaved portion is to be completed by July 1, and the secretary is mstnited to communicate with the Hon. George S. Henry asking for definite informa­ tion that this will be accomplished, and that as soon a* thi* is secured, the executive of the association be called together." Overworked. sluggish Kidneys, Blad­der Weakness and Prostate Gland troubles bring on so many distressing and often serious ailments—that every sufferer from Lameness, Pain* in Back and down through groins.

C. ‘Southworth. After only a few days’ use, a startling im­ provement is often noticed—a* a mul­ titude of alarming symptoms begin to disappear.Through special arrangement* and to benefit those who cannot personally call on the Doctor, URATABS can now be obtained from any good, local druggist on a positive guarantee of money back on first box purchased if not fully satisfied.

If this it not done there will have to be subways or bridges conrtructed aero** the five railroad tracks which intersect the route through Talbotville and Shedden at present. I think that everything pos­ sible should be done to try to induce the M.C.R. to build an opcn-*pan bridge or to take *ome other mean* of diverting the traffic, so as to make it safe for travel" Municipal A.*e..m«nt The inaugural meeting of the .Bay­ ham council was held on January 14th, at 11 a|jn.

I* it better to give a fair wage and get fair work or not?People are wanting gravel on the roads, but with the funds low it can­ not be done.The monthly meeting* will be held on the firrt Monday in the month, ex­cepting if it come* on a holiday, then some other day. Adjourned to meet Feb. 4th. The organization is recommending that the quota of $12 per hundred resi­ dents lie the assessment on the munici­ palities on the route for the year. The financial statement of last year showed that the operation of the Highway As­ sociation had been reduced to almost nil, but that the full quota of $6,000 will be inoperative this year. Much was said imperative this year. Much wa* said about the possibilities of the southern route during the coming seas­ on, with its scenic beauty and an advan- iageouth-tto6istaroutrail-and otiveas-S tagc of being the shortest route from ger to border and of the financial fits to be derived by all of the people living on the highway. G S. Garrett presented some inter­ esting figures on the tourirt traffic admitted at Windsor, Walkerville. Niagara Falls and Bridgeburg in 1927, This was divided among three types of tourists—the tourist who stayed 24 hours or less, of which there were 1373,000, spending an average of $320. of a total of $6.000300; those who stay­ed from 24 hours to 60 days and who averaged $112 per car each week, ac­cording to Government statistics, and left $34,000,000 in the country. and finally, the tourirt who stayed 60 day* or longer, of whom there were 1JO0. and who are estimated to spend $1.- 1X30,000 in the country. The American tourist’s dollar ha* been analyzed by the Government of British Columbia as follow*: Forty-two and one-half cents for food and lodging, 39 cents for the retail trade and I8tf cents for amusement and local transportation. Editorial Note* Kingsville town council ha* Dean of Township Clerks (Norwich Gazette) Few municipal, officers in the Pro­ vince of Ontario will be able to claim the proud record of Mr. Chas. E. Burgess, the veteran clerk of the Township of North Norwich. At the initial meting of the township council in 1885 he assumed office as clerk of the municipality," and from that time until to day he has not missed a single meeting of the councils of the town­ship except when on other duty for that body. This hapnened on only one occasion. Mr. Burgess was in Toron­ to on business for the council of the township, and during his absence that body met, so that he can justly claim that he now enter* hi* forty-fourth year of service without a single break. As an indication of the place which he holds in the confidence of the rate­ payers of North Norwich, for rear* they have appointed him as chairman of their annual meeting, following the nominations. Mr. Burgess now holds the record for long service in the county. He is regarded a* the dean of the clerk* of the county and we wonder if there is another clerk in the whole province who can claim »uch a continuity of service.Born and raised al Burge*sville, he followed hi* father's trade, that of blacksmith and carriage maker.

President Wcbater gave the meeting assurance that two plans were at present being prepared which would provide a solmioa for the problem.Continuing along the same thought that Mr. Thayer introduced, the presi­ dent made reference to the fact that the M. G R. is preparing to construct a new concrete bridge at that point and that it behoove* every municipality interested in the safety of travel to in­terest themselves in the project a* at present introduced. "The pUns call for the erection of concrete pier* to sup­ port girding on which the tracks will be laid. A* outlined, the view of the highway from east and west will be completely obstructed. “This is a matter of great concern for this organization, for an alternative plan removing the centre pier could be nudeuse of with an additional coat of about $40,000. The department of high­ ways and the Federal Government are spending large sum* of money in mak­ ing the highway safe for traffic. The latter body recently appointed a com­ missioner to investigate ail level rail­ road crossings.

There is no doubt highway situation, makes suggestion, for the transfer of traffic from high­ way No. 2, which as every autoist knows is very congested, especially during the summer months. He writes as follow*: “A highway is being built from Qappison's Corners to a point on the Hamilton-Galt Highway No. 8. Con­tinue this paved road on to Paris where it would hook up with highway No. 2. On the Windsor-to-Toronto run there would be a saving of, at least, ten miles if highway No. 5 ran straight through to Pari*. The paving required here would be approximately eighteen mile*. i be made up the traffic again at a comparatively big point—Brantford—we would util- ttr approximately nine miles of the [designated high wav No. 24-Simcoe to I Guelph—but at OskJahd pave the road over to Norwich to carry it on down! through Otterville to Tilboobar^. Herei up of *fillsonburg and Brantford in the jog in the road at the former point and especially when one keeps in mind that highway No.' 2 at Brantford swings northwest to Paris. "If these suggestions were to be carried out the natural concomitant would be to call highway No. 5 that one running from Toronto to St George, to Belle River to Windsor. Highway No. 2 would be from Wind­sor to Tilbury, to Merlin, to Tillson­ burg, to Brantford, to Quebec bound­ary. Niagara Falls to Tillsonburg and Windsor through Leamington to a point below Merlin would have sub- numbers, thereby keeping the main highways in Ontario, east and west, instead of the present system of Na 3 running to the borders at both ends." cities the snow is soon covered ■ 4yer ot di,t “d ,o°' wh,ch ns the surface and makes it melt ’, as dark surfaces absorb more elr instinct for r&»W2 Last year wa* not as disastrous 1927 on the great Lakes, the loss live* being sixteen, as compared wilh 24 the year previous.

Wilde?"Her keen eye* had detected Bertie's unwillingness to have Miss Kent put forward, and she thought she guessed the reason why. It was not the real reason, though Bertie might have been "snobbish" enough to wish to exclude the dowager’s companion from her society; but it made Flossie's tone very chillingly polite. “I could try." Bertie said, who would have given anything to feel that she was equal to the principal part. "Oh, no, you’d never do!” Addie Hepburn exclaimed, brusquely. “You are a first-rate Nerissa,” she added, apologetically—Bertie did not perceive the irony which lay under the compli­ ment. "But you wouldn't do for Por­ tia at all. We must have Miss Kent, Flossie; I’m sure the dowager won’t have the least objection. She s awfully nice,” she observed, turning to Marion Lisle, “just a* well-born as any of us, and a great dead better bred than some. And she has- one of the sweet­ est faces you ever saw in your life." Mis* Lisle had not been long at Beaudesert, or she would have been able to judge of Miss Kent’s looks for herself. Bertie, who heard every word felt angry and uncomfortable, rite scarcely knew why. She played with her golden bangles, turning them round and round on her plump white wrists, with a frown on her downy forehead, and a very childish pout on her ripe red mouth."I will go up and ask her rayself,” Flo** Vigors said, having felt the pul*c of public opinion. "She may not care to do it, you know’“It’s not likely a person in her posi­ tion would venture to refuse," Marion Lisle remarked to Addie. Hepburn. "Oh, Mis* Kent is very much her own mistress here. She was a great friend of Manie Wilde’s,” Addie re­turned. “I hope she’ll do it however; she won’t like to refuse Flossie. It would be a thousand pities if we had to throw the whole thing up now, when we have all got so interested in Mid, “May I come with you, igors?" Bertie a*ked prettily. Flos* was a little *urpri*ed Lady ..... ......... .... .................... _ the request; but she acceded to it at once, thinking she must have made a mis- “Mis* Kent is a friend of yours, 1 believe?" she said, as they left the drawing-room together. “Oh, yes—that is. I knew her long ago I Mamma wa* very kind to her when she lived near us in the country," Bertie answered, flushing a little. Ladv Vigors asked no more ques­tions, nor did she address her visitor again for the whole length of the hall and staircase. Bertie felt that some­how or other she had not found favor in the eyes of her hostess; but the fact troubled her very little; no doubt they were all jealous of her. She wa* younger and prettier than any of them; and only that morning Sir George had put his velvet hunting cap on her head and called on all the men in the hall to admire her, and said she looked like a saucy boy or a pretty horse-breaker —she forget which. Maud was standing in the window, looking out at the dreary winter landscape, her hands clasped idly be­hind her back, when Lary Vigor* came in the room, followed by her visi­ tor. She had ju*t been writing to her little sisters—a long letter which wa* to reach them on Christmas Eve. She was thinking of the previous Christ­mas, of the merry scene in the school­room of Fief Oaks, of the pretty dresses, the happy careless laughter, of Manic's scatter-brain music, of Adam's half-grave, half smiling-eye*. ■She turned at the sound of the open­ ing door.“Mi»s Kent, I have come to ask a favor of you.” gest it I knew you would do it much better than any of them." "How did you know? Maud looking down at her. "Why, don't you remember the readings at Wildewod and at Fief Oaks? Bertie said, laughing.“Do you remember them?" Maud asked, surprised. "Of course I do. Haven’t I been at them over and over-again?"But Maud was thinking of readings long before, when Adam was at home, reading Bertie could not remember for the very good reason that she was not there. Adam read very well, though he did not care about it. But there were some people then in the neigh­ borhood who were mad about Shake­ spears, and who sometime* persuaded him to takd a part. “I didn’t Jhink they would get you to do it,” Bertie said, basking, kitten­ like. on the great white hearthrug. “They wanted me to be Portia, but I wouldn’t; it* too much trouble, and so all the rest of them thought. I’m sure it's very good of you to take what nobody elese .would have, and I don’t think it was quite fair of them to ask you—though I thought it a charity to suggest it, they were so much at a loss."“I am always glad if I can do any­ thing for Lady Vigors," Maud said quietly.Bertie, looking up at her, could not tell whether she wa* vexed or not. “I am to be Nerissa,” she went on gayly. “I think it will be great fun, though I’m sure Adam won't have any­ thing to say to it. They have arrang­ ed who arc to take the male charac­ters. Nothing would persuade Addie Hepburn to be anybody but Jessica, because Captain Huntroyd is to be Lorenzo. I don’t believe Captain Huntroyd care* about her, though she makes such a fool of herself about him. He ha* such a pretty name for me—the gave it me the other night when I wore my pink dress—the Wikjc rose. It is pretty, isn’t it? And they have all kept calling me so ever since.” Maud looked down at her, and a great bitter pang of envy wrung her heart—not envy of Bertie exacth-, but envy of the woman who wa* called by Adam's name—the name1 Manie had given to herself half laughingly one evening at Fief Oak*. But Maud had been a wild rose, whereas this bloom­ ing voting beauty was pink mossrose­ bud. scarcely yet blown into a rose. “Sir George is to be Shyylock— they say he doe* it capitally," Bertie went on, ignorant of the wound she had inflicted when perhaps she least intended it; "and Adam is to be Bassanio. So they have settled, at least, but I don’t believe he will read at all."Not Bassanio to her Portia, certainly. Maud wa* very sure that he would not. Yet those were the very characters they had sustained long be­ fore—Maud remembered that readingas well as if it had been yesterday. “Who is to be Antonio?" she asked, her heart wrung with a vague regret. “I’m sure I forget," Bertie said, yawning. “Oh, ye*. I know! The Honorable Mr. Vandeleur is to be’ the merchant of Venice. They don’t seem to exoect much from him, but they think he’ll manage it. The two Gobbs ate to be left out—I mean that scene in the street, you know—and a good deal more of it Maud don’t you get tired of sitting all day in these quiet old rooms?" “I do not sit here all day. I have just come in from a walk in • the woods."“Have you been out of door* on such a wretched afternoon?" “It seems much worse than it is in reality. It was quite pleasant out, though the wind wa* very high." “I should think so. Do you always go cut after luncheon?" “Always.” “To take the same walk?" “Very often- It is a pleasant walk in winter, sheltered by the tree*." Maud repeated, the shadow lifting from her face.“We want you to read Portia’s part in The Merchant of Venice. Do you think you could oblige us?" "Now?" Maud asked, hesitating a little. •-“Oh. no! Thu evening—after dinner. It i* too late for any more reading at present; it is growing dusk, and we arc going to have tea. But cvery- bodv fight* shy of the part; it is rather a trying one, unless you know some thing about it." "I have often read it before."“Have you indeed? I should think it would suit you admirably. May we count on your assistance thi* evening then? I should take it a* qutc a favor to myself."Maud could not refuse, since Lady Vigors chose to put it in that way."I have no objection,” she said, «mil- ing."Have you a Shakespeare here? You might like to look over your part?”"I have a Shakespeare, thanks. No, I do not think I shall want to refresh my memory; Portia wa* always one of my favorite characters."“I am so glad. We have set our hearts on the reading; and indeed I am glad of anything to amuse my fricndsion such a dull afternoon. Mr*. Wilde will tell you all about the characters; I must go back to the' drawing-room and set my sister Addie’s hev’ »’ «*’•" She left the room in her handsome dress of ruby silk and velvet—a very tall, fine-looking young woman, very young-looking to be the mother of her little daughter Lulu, who would be ten years old in January.“Shall you like to read, Maud?" Bertha asked, sinking upon her knes* before the fire—tht fire* of Beaudesert were '*'" ~T*-' and her daughter-in-law havingspecialty, both the dowager weakness for great cheerful ires—and looking up at Maud great passionless child's eyes. "I thought at first you wouldn’t like it; but I thought h a pity not to »ug- “If I did not go out by my*clf, I should very seldom go out at ali­ tor a walk, I mean," Maud answered a little »adly. “I felt it very much at first. but one grow* accustomed to everything, even to loneliness.” “Oh, of course! Well, I thing 111 be off now; I don’t want to miss my tea. I suppose you are not allowed the luxury of afternoon tea?” “Oh, yes,. I am i" Maud answered, smiling. ”1 can give you some pres­ently. if you choose to wait.” “Oh, thanks, I think I ough to go down!" Bertie said, who did not care to seem to be on too intimate terms with the companion, though she felt more at her ease there than among the titled ladies in the drawing-room. "I shall see you again in the evening, of course. I think somebody said the reading was to begin at nine.” She went away, a dainty little figure in a dress of peacock-blue silk and plush which looked as if it had come out of the colored fashion-plate of Le Follet, so severely was it tied back, so tight were its sleevs and bodice, so elaborately trained was its skirt.Maud stood for a minute or two by the fire, thinking, and then she went to her own room for her Shakespeare, and, sitting down in her favorite chair, opened it at The Merchant of Venice. She had never read thi* particular play in this particular Shakespeare since she had studied it with Adam Wilde. And now, as the page* fell on her knee, a dry dead spray of sweet verbena fluttered out from between them and skimmed pas her feet to the carpet, and as by a lightning-flash she remembered the day Adam had put it there to mark the play, sitting out in the garden at Fief Oaks, when the great bush of sweet verbena by the greenhouse door was in full leaf. Oh, what anguish it wa* to remember— what madness! Yet how hard it wa* to forget I Ah, yes, "cruel a* remem­ brance was," it wa* harder to forget. She stooped to pick up the spray of dead verbena; she looked at it for a moment through a mist of tears; and then she threw it into the fire, where the dry dead thing shriveled up in a moment, falling into a little pinch of dust. “Who is that?" asked the Honor­ able Mr. Vandeleur. “I declare I don't know,” Sir George Vigor* an»wered vaguely, turning over the leave* of hi* Shakc*pe*re in a great hurry.“Who is that?"Captain Huntroyd inquired, alluding to the *ame pcr*on. and fixing hi* cye-gla** delicately un­ der hi* red eyebrow."That." Addie Hepburn answered, laughing—"that is Portia.” “But who it the? What'* her name I haven't met her before, have I? Hepburn Huntroyd her. fore at Beaudesert. Her name is Kent —Miss Kent. Don't you think she i* like Mis* Ellen Terry, the famou* actress?""By Jove, but she is though! Awfully nice face, hasn't she?—and figure too, by Jove! Miss Kent!

"By Jove!” Captain ejaculated again, staring atMjaud's appearance created rather a sensation in the drawing-room at Beaudesert on thi* particular evening, room for the accommodation of the readers, who were to take their place* there whenever they were, in stage parlance, “on.” The piano had been pushed in behind the chairs, as Ted Vaandeleur and his sister were to sing “Tell me were is fancy bred?" at the proper juncture. Altogether the great room presented Yather an unusual as­ pect, all the company beng just now crowded near the door.Maud had come very quietly, her book in her hand. But it so happened that she had been called for before she came, somebody asking, “But where is Portia? Arc we going to have The Merchant of Venice with Portia left out?"

Our Directors have therefore inaugurated the principle of allowing a Special Bonus on maturing participating policies. The basis for 1929 may be summarized as follows: On policies ten years in force, maturing by death or (on ‘reserve dividend* policies) by the expiry of the reserve dividend period, a bonuz of 10 per cent of the reserve, increasing yearly to 15 per cent on policies in force twenty years or longer; on endowments, at maturity, a bonus of 10 per cent of the face value of policies ten years in force, increasing yearly to IS per cent on policies in force twenty years or longer. Details will be given in the forthcom­ ing annual report. , This special bonus is in addition to, and independent of, the usual annual profit distribution, the scale for which, for the ninth consecutive year, will again be increased. We congratulate our members on this happy announcement. It has been made possible only by the large profits earned on the securities selected for the invest­ ment of the Company's fund*. As ninety-five per cent of all surplus earned by the participating assurances accrues to our policyholders themselves, tD A enjoy practical mutuality, combined wild the enterprise and stability of stock management. The effect of this combina- tion is evidenced by the results. T. B. Macaulay, President.
