He paid high tribute to the calibre of the men in the branches of the serâ€" vice he administered. Farguhar Oliver, U.F.O. member for S. Grey added his tribute. The reâ€" tiring chairman was the "grand old man" of South Grey and Mr. Oliver jocularly remarked that the only place he failed to get a majority was in Durham, the home town of the former member. Presbyterian Y. P. S. Presents Entertaining Play The chairman, Dan Firth, intro duced the play and characters to the audience. The scene was the home of Bob Blake a promising young attorney (Lewis McComb) and his wife Gretchen Blake, (Elsie Hunter) who sends for grandma to help her manage the children (her younger brother and sister).

In his attempts to make In final act Jack returns after spending a night in jail, grandma reâ€" turns as everything a srandma might be expected to be, the shortage of the Nickleworth is cleared up by Truesdale‘s confession, and grandma gees that all ends happily. Midnight and Dahlia (George McKechnie and Alix Tobin) were necro servants who take a keen interest in the family‘s business. All the characters gave an excelâ€" lent portrayal of their roles, the latâ€" ter two mentioned being the comâ€" edians of the cast. The young peoâ€" ple may present the play elsewhere. A pleasant reception was held on Saturday afternoon, March 30th, at Pine Lodge, Rockwood, the home of the Rev.

It is proposed that the students club dissolve _ next September to make way for a Durham Club which wou‘d include all former Durhamâ€" ites, now resident in London. The students club would form the nucâ€" leus of such an organization and we have every confidence that it would be an unqualified success. The club is extremely proud of its record for the past two years. It has served the dual purpose of proâ€" viding social activitiee and giving desirable publicity to Durham _ and on the whole it has proved to be a worthy organization.
