Memorial Arena Subsaripiions Pass The $6,000.00 Mark The canvassers report that 9 out o! 10 Newcastle families are, contributing to the proposed Ar- ena. The committee have set a $10000 objective for Newcastle residents. Three-quarters of the village has now 'been canvassed, which means that the remaining quarter will be expected to sub- scribe nearly $4,000 in order to reach this objective. It is feit that maybe this amount will prove excessive unless, perchance, some really kind-hearted lady or gen- tleman bas the urge ta increase their first donation. In order that the Veterans can carry out the second baif of their money-raising program, it is im- perative that Newcastle obtains its objective; so, please citizens, one and ail, get behind this "drive up the home stretch."

Lions Club Concert Scores Big Hi Newcastle Lions Club scored another outstarTding success on Monday evening, February 9, when they brought the "'Double or Nathing" radia quiz, whicb was followed by an amateur con- test ta the Community Hall. Not since the opening ceremanies in 1923, wben the Community Hall was officially opened, bas there been sucb a large audience. AI- tbough the evening's entertain- ment did not start until 8 o'clock, the auditorium was filled shortly1 after 7 and a long lineup waited outside ta get in. The first part of the program was the Double or Notbing Radio Quiz. As each persan entered the auditorium, tbey were banded a ticket witb a number. These tickets were ahl combined and priar ta gaing on the air they were put inta a glass bawl and eight numbers drawn -four la- dies and four men. They were cailed ta the platform and eacb one had the choice o! selecting one quiz from 16 different topics. .The lucky winners of $16.00 were Mrs. Morley Sallows, Newcastle; wbo won an Hit Tunes of taday; Mrs. George Stapleton, Newton- ville, on Kings and Ruiers, True or Fiction; Mr. Harold Harris, NeWcastle, an Sponsors of Radia Programs. Mrs. Keith Aiken, David Noden, Newton Selby, Newcastle and Mrs. Robert Glanville, Orono, al did exceptionaliy well but went down ta defeat in the "~Double or Notbing" question. Congratula- tions ta the winners and aiso ta the other contestants for their splendid efforts. The radia broadcast was In charge of Stew Kenney, Frank Duvell, Art McGregor with Wally Armour as pianist, and the audi- ence had the extra tbriil of be- ing able ta see in persan, these radio peionalities. The second part of the program was the 'Amateur Contest" and sa the evening was really a two- in-one entertainment. Lion Keith Aiken as Master o! Ceremonies and announcer carried out bis du- tics in a happy and capable man- ner. Prior ta the first number on the Amateur Contest, Mrs. Paul- ine Storks gave a clever and witty skit entitied: "Auntie Cheerful." An enjayable and versatile pro- gram cansisting o! 18 numbers followed. It is seldom that it bas been the privilege o! any audi- ence to bave such an excellent arnc varied program presented. Every number was given a perfect rendition and it was rather a di!- ficult task for the judges ta de- cide the winner witb sucb a gai- axy a'f clever talent. The audi- ence were asked ta select their favorite and as eacb contestant appeared on the stage at the con- clusion o! the program and gave -a short repeat of bis selection, the audience signified by their applause their reception of bis number. Glenn Allun, Newcastle, was the popular choice, bis lavely bar- itone voice being heard ta ad- vantage in "Old Man River." President Perty Mare made the presentatian ta him, on bebaîf o! the Newcastle Lions Club, of a very handsome gold wrist watcb, in addition ta which Glenn will have an opportunity ta sing on Rai Purdy's radio program. The best wisbes of his many friends wiil go with him and will follow witb interest bis future career in the musical field in which is pre- dicted for bim a great future. Judges for the Amateur pro- gram were Newcastle Lions, R. Davis, D. Walton, H. Wilson and Ted Belsey. President Percy Hare in a neat speech, expressed his tbanks ta the sponsors of "Double or Noth- ing" pragram. Me also thanked ail the contestants wha had ap- peared on the amateur program and had given such outstanding performances. He thanked Mr. Neil Stewart for bis kindness in acting as accompanist. The numbers an this excellent program were as follows: Lynch Bras., Instrumental and sang; Marlene Edwards, solo; Albert Guay, guitar vocal; Beryl Challis, sala; Norma Ailin, piano solo; Charles Gray, solo; Cowan quar- tette, instrumental; Jean Belsey and Mary Phasey, vocal duet; Jack Wilson, Shirley Flintff!, comedy vocal duet; Glenn Allin, baritone solo; Kelvin Beebe and Joyce Thickson, memaries; Ai- leen Boyd, vocal solo; Gwen Phasey, piano solo; Maureen Mc- Kenna, vocal sala; Range Ramb- lers, instrumental; Margaret Ash, vocal solo; Joe and Joyce, San Antonio Rose; Pauline Stork, vo- cal solo. Mr. Neil Stewart, super- visor of music, acted as accomp- anîst for the amateur contest. It was regretted that roadl con- ditions prevented Mr. Jake Hal- loway, 82, the popular and weli known oid time fiddler, from be- ing present and taking part in the pragram. There was no set admission charge but a silver collection was taken and will be used for New- castle Lions Welfare Work. We hope those who put large nickels on tbe collection plate will feel rather guilty-when they realize that they sat in a weli heated, comfortable auditorium, and had an evening's enjayment t ha t would at least rate a 50c admis- sion fee any place, and furtber, that the money realized fromn the evening would be put ta such a worthy purpase. The indefatigu- able and bard working committee in charge of arrangements were president Percy Hare, Lions R. Davis, D. Walton, H. Wilson, Ted Belsey and J. Taylor.
