They both were stolen between ten and eleven o‘clock. The practice of leaving keys in cars is orne that has caused police a lot of trouble.

The Boys‘ Band which was very ably directed by Mr. Fred Wolno, to whom a great deal of their success is attribâ€" uted, assisted by Mr. Wilford, excelled itself during the evening, proving not cnly the outstanding ability of the members of the band, but also that they are equral in merit to other bands of the community. The supporting artists on the programme were: Mr. Alex Morphy, English baritone; Miss Irene Caveney, tap dancer; Mrs. Roberts, soprano; and Mrs. Wilkins, pianist. Mr. Alex Morphy very ably led the community singing, which was accompanied by Mrs. Wilâ€" kins at the piano. The programme was as follows: Dr. Ray Hughes gave the opening address and introduced Mr. Fred Wolno the bandmaster, and his assistant, Mr. The Band delightfully played "Starâ€"| Mrs. Bob Charlebois left on Friday light" as their opening march, which)|to visit with friends and relatives in was followed by Mrs. Roberts singing|Kirkland Lake and Ottawa for a few very beautifully Schubert‘s "Serenade".| weeks, and will later join Mr. Charleâ€" Community singing, which comprised bois who is on a hunting trip to Sturâ€" a great deal of the programme and geon Falls and district. He was not surprised, said Mr. Slade, that the press misunderstood his and his colleague‘s remarks but he was astounded and hurt when he saw that other ministers completely missed his meaning. The Lion‘s Club Boys‘ Band held a very sucessful concert in the New Emâ€" pire theatre on Third avenue on Sunâ€" day evening after church. Over gight hundred people were seated in the theâ€" atre for the event, and about half that number had to be turned away from the doors after 8.20 p.m. when the theatre was filled to capacity. Illustrating his contention that sin abounds in the North, Mr. Slade asked what else could ‘be said of a place where women sat in beverage rooms with men not their husbands and little children stayed outside the door asking for their mother. Such children, he contended were, through no fault of their own, beâ€" ing led on the paths of drunkenness. They were being trained for the galâ€" lows. The Ministerial Association, which isâ€" sued a statement disassociating itself from Mr. Slade‘s remarks, was attacked by the speaker. Many of the men who signed the statement were not in as good a position to judge the North as he, as they had not been here as long, he said. The clerics who signed the reâ€" port were not living up to the ideals of the founders of their various churches, he contended. The miners, he continued, would not be fooled. They knew themselves and the conditions under which they lived. He loved the miners and believed they would regard him more highly for tellâ€" ing them the truth about themselves.... Crowd Delighted With Concert by Boys‘ Band in did truly abound in the North as it did all over the world, said Mr. Slade. the remarks were made no comparison was made between the Nerth and the South or the North and any other part of the world. With regard to his statement regardâ€" ing miners‘ hearts, Mr. Slade said that they were truly hard as the rock in which the miners drilled, not to each other or to their fellow men, but to their God. To begin with, said Mr. Slade, both he and Mr. Cunningham, of Kirkland Lake, were misquoted insomuch as the press failed to report the qualifying remarks made after such statements as "sin truly abounds beyond anything imaginable in the North," and "the miner‘s heart is harder than the rock in which he drills". Preaching last night at the Regular Baptist church, Rev. Mr. H. Slade reâ€" plied to the critics of his and the Rev. Mr. Cunningham‘s remarks made in a report to the Home Missions Board of the Regular Baptist churches at a reâ€" cert convention in Toronto.

"O Canada", played by the Boys‘ which was greatly enjoyed by the gaâ€" thering, came next. One of the most popular selections during the evening, was the Porcupine Song, which would naturally appeal to every earnest "Porâ€" cupiner‘". The Band played "Le Sang Roumain", then came community singing, and to put a finishing touch to the evening‘s entertainment Mr. Morphy sang "The Blind Plowman" and as an encore, the popular "Trees". The townsfolk appreciate the effort and time the boys and their leader have put into their work and everyone is eagerly awailting future concerts and hoping that they will not be long in being presented. Lecture Toâ€"night on Truth About Spain A lecture that should prove of unusual interest and value is announced to be given this (Monday) evening in the parish hall of the Church of the Naâ€" tivity, when John Connolly, a speaker of talent, who is fully acquainted with the facts of the case, will speak on the war in Spain. Mr. Connolly recently returned from a visit to the Nationalist front and has many facts not generâ€" ally known. His address this evening is entitled "The Truth About Spain". Mr. Connolly‘s address is being given under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. The event will commence at 8.15 p.m. Admission is free and there is general invitation to all to attend. The band played the overture, "Debâ€" utante" so well that it was said very few bands could do better. To close the evening the gathering sang "Abide With Me" and the band played "Beliphegor‘". The central hallway on the main floor will be concrete. It will extend from the front to almost the rear of the building and offices will be on The Band played "The Merry Knights", which was followed by anâ€" other singâ€"song, and then to the deâ€" light of all present, little Miss Irene Caveney performed a tap dance rouâ€" either side. The erection of the building has progressed quickly in the past week. Brick has been laid from the foundâ€" ation to the level of the main flood, and by Wednesday will probably be up to the level of the second floor. The main entrance with its flanking pilâ€" lars of artificial granite and granite slabs on either side, has been set in place. Now that the walls are going up with such rapidity the inside of the building is beginning to take shape. In the basement a room has been bricked off for the cell block and anâ€" other for the heating plant. The ceâ€" ment floor in the basement has not yet ‘been laid. John Connolly, Recently Reâ€" turned from the Nationalâ€" ist Front, to Speak at Parâ€" ish Hall, Church of Nativity. The Advance has received many queries about the corner stone laying. It was thought for a ‘time that the building was going to be erected withâ€" out the ceremony. The stone is a slab about four feet tall and over five feet wide. â€"On it is embossed the crossed hammers and gold nugget of the town crest. It will be set up in the middle of the main entrance, over the clab, now in place, bearing the words, ‘"Municipal Buildâ€" ing." The mayor will lay the stone with an engraved trovel which will be preâ€" sented to him after the ceremony. Town officials and members of the council will be present. The corner stone of the new muniâ€" cipal building on Fourth avenue beâ€" tween Pine and Cedar streets will forâ€" mally be laid on Wednesday by Mayor Bartleman. 12 Pages
