Payroll Savings Rallies At Palace and Broadway Theatres Sunday Night Payroll Savings Rallies in connecâ€" tion with the Eighth Victory Loan are announced for the Palace and Broadway theatres on Sunday evening May 6th, commencing at 8.30. "A programme of firstâ€"class enterâ€" tainment" is promised for these raiâ€" lies, and it is only necessary to note two names on the bill to se how true such a promise will be. The featured artist on the programme at these ralâ€" lies is Miss Pat Bailley, the young and charming radio star who won â€" all hearts on her visits to Timmins as bright star of the Legion‘s summer carnival. The guest speaker for the two rallies is to be Major P. W. Rainâ€" ier, M. B. E., "from El Alamein to ‘tTuâ€" nisia." Pat Bailey, one of Canada‘s most glamorous â€" singers started â€" singing when eight years old at concerts over the old CFCA radio station in Torâ€" onto. At that time the futur: star also was studying singing, dancing, elâ€" ccution and pianoâ€""Quite a full proâ€" gram,"‘ as she smilingly commented. Her first ‘break‘ came in 1934, when she won an Eddie Dowling contest at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. In 1935, the team of Olson and Johnson Ofâ€" fered her the chance to tour with them through the United States, but ‘Pat‘ was forced to turn this down. ‘"My mother thought I was 100 young." Her mother was probably right, Miss Bailey looked to be on the sunâ€" ny side of about 18. After that the songstress worked for a while with Miss Ruth Lowe, of "I‘ll Never Smile Again‘" fame, and later she was on series of programs with the bands of Perey Faith, Geoffrey.. Waddington Rovy Locksley and Samuel Hersenhorn In February, 1941, Miss Bailey went to Hollywood, California, where she was guest artist on Al Pearce‘s proâ€" gram over the Columbia network ‘Pat‘ made her American debut on St Valentine‘s Day,, and, she ‘confided with© aâ€"smile, "My hsart was really going pitâ€"aâ€"pat." The had â€" a lovely trip down to Hollywood with Carl Hoff‘s band and enjoyed meeting several of the screen stars, notably Jackie Cooper and Humphrey Bogart "I saw Dorothy Lamour, too, but 1 didn‘t have a chance to be introduced to her," sighed Miss Bailey. She saig she dined with Arlene KHarris, who appeared in a picture with Al Pearce. Ever since she has been appearing in outstanding entertainment features and has been on many important raâ€" dio shows. uts PB A IA AA LA A AA â€"A AA A AAâ€"AAA Â¥ t 4 SAAA Aâ€"AG â€"A LAAA â€"AAâ€"AA C ACâ€"L O EME m Major Peter W.

Over 350 Members in Y outh Club Sponsored by the British Isles Victory Club The second annual banquet the j British Isles Victory Club was held on Friday night in the Hollinger hall, and again proved a very enjoyable and successful occasion. The delightful j meal prepared and served by the la-l dies of the club was outstanding in its excellence,. Mrs. W. H. Johnson, president of the British Isles Victory Club, was in the chair and effectively carried through the dutiss of the ofâ€" fice giving friendly welcome to all. A special welcome to the war brides; of! Timmins was graciously given by Mrs. | G. Campbell. "We take you to our, hearts," she said, adding earnest wishâ€"| es for all happiness for them. Mrs.| Campbell also had a sympathetic word ! for all waiting for loved ones to return} A striking fact brought out durmg' the evening was in regard to .the clubp; for the young people of the town that has been sponsored by the British Isles Victory Club. This youth club now has the remarkable membership} of over 350 and would have more than that if there were large enough hall and other accommodation. The young people run their own club, the British Isles Victory Cluub simply started it and standing by to give any advice or help needed. This club has young peox)lel of all racial origins and creeds and| all are welcomed and encouraged. It is doing a notable work for unity and good citizenship. f After the delicious meal had been| enjoved and the toast to the King duly honoured, Viceâ€"President J. Pedâ€" der briefly proposed the toast to the British Isles Victory Club. ' f In responding, G. A. Macdonald notâ€" ed the good work done by the British Isles Victory Club in the way of sendâ€" ing cigarettes and comforts overscas, helping the Bomb Victims, working for the Red Cross, and assisting every other patriotic endeavour, but suggest~â€" ed that the very fact of having aA British Isles Victory Club was of even more importance. With all the other lnational clubs, there did seem to be l need for a British Club to keep to the front the freedom, the traditions and the glory of the Empire of which Caâ€" is a part. He suggested that there was too much tendency to think about what people could get from this coutâ€" try and not enough of what tney coula give. All sorts of New Canadians were in their hearts anxious to give to their adopted lands of the treasures of art, literature. quaint costumes and glorious traditions of the lands from which they come. In this was the real soluâ€" ticn for unity. The speaker showed the lesson of the British Isiles in the matâ€" ter of basic unity and lovalty.

"And we should ! not forget," he said, "The wonderful, candidate and his followers believe he will be equally popular as Member for South Cochrane. are the essence and the mspiratlon Oof the British tradition." Mr. W.‘H. IJohnson proposed the toast to the United Nations, Mr.. E. L. Longmore, general manager of the Hollinger , respongding. Mr. Longmore said that one of the good things about the present evil war was the fact that the division was not on raclal or reâ€" ligious lines. He showed that the United Nations included many races, many creeds, and even many colours of men, all working, fighting and dyâ€" ing for a common cause. He believed that understanding and sympathy will grow from this. "When you go through privation and suffering together you learn to know and appreciate each Oother," he said. The British were alâ€" ways a tolerant people and toleration would be essential to build a better world after the war. It would be necâ€" essary to get along with people of difâ€" ferent races, diferent creeds and difâ€" ferent â€" colours. Mr. Longmore paid tribute to Britain‘s part in developing industry and extending freedom and democracy. He did not hold with the Hitler idew of superior race. There ! there was a round Of happy Ccommu :it’y singing, followed by musical a | literary numbers, in which Mrs. Can [ bell and others took part. The eve ‘ing concluded with a pleasant dal were no "pure races. °_ Britain â€"CcOuid be termed a mongrel race without Ofâ€" fence ‘as it was a mixture of many breeds, though it appeared toâ€" have sought to keep the best traits of each race. Mr. Longmore scored the loose talk about Britain improperly withholdâ€" ing freedom from India. To remove the influence of Britain from India would mean worse than chaos for the people of India. In concluding, Mr. Longmore expressed the belief that it will be esiâ€" sential to extend toleration to the whole world, irrespective of races, creeds and colours, if the world is to be free from wars and a better day to dawn on earth. patient out by in the Gua Among those â€"â€"MrS.
